Now is what everyone had been waiting for: the next chapter to this story! Time for Sophie and Ethan's sleepover! Since Sophie is 10 years old, Ethan will be teaching her things about having a life when it comes to friends. He will help her learn about what to do to make friends and teach her what the kids are doing now.

Ethan is really trying to be like a big brother to help protect Sophie from being the one awkward kid in the class or the girl who doesn't know about swear words or how to use them. He's going to teach her the basics and it can help her for when she goes back home. I won't let anything get too graphic or whatever, so it won't be rated M for this chapter. Now that you get that, onto the story!

Sophie POV

"Mama, is anyone at the door?" I asked as I got off the couch.

"No, sweetie. They'll be here, just be patient." Mama said and she went back to washing the clothes. I groaned and flopped back against the couch. The whole day was boring.

We ate breakfast in the lobby and stayed in the hotel room the rest of the time. I watched TV for a while until Caroline took it over and I got a book to read. I finished the book in no time and ate lunch in the lobby again. I tried to get Caroline to play a few games with me, but she said no because she wasn't into those games anymore.

"Why don't we watch a little TV?" Daddy asked as he sat down with me and cut the TV back on.

"Ok." I said and Daddy flipped through the channels until we found the Aristocats.

"Hey, we all like this movie. We can watch it until Ethan gets here." Daddy said.

"Ok, I love this movie!" I say and perk up.

I noticed a few things about the movie that seemed to relate to my life.

The little white cat sounded a bit like Caroline, trying to grow up fast and be a grown up when she's still a kid. The only difference about the cat and Caroline is that Caroline shut herself off from the rest of the family. We were so close and now we're like awkward people. I hated what she's become.

The movie ended before I knew it and it was almost time for dinner in the lobby. There was a knock at the door and I almost jumped to the roof in excitement.

"Ethan's here!" I yelled and ran to the door. Daddy followed behind me and looked through the peephole where I couldn't see. He opened the door and Ethan stood there with his stuff and his mom was standing there beside of him.

"Hi!" I greeted Ethan and hugged him. Daddy invited them inside and Ethan sat his stuff down on the couch. Caroline was on the other end of the room reading her magazines. She gave us a glance and rolled her eyes. Ignoring her, I looked at Ethan and he shrugged.

"Girls like her will do that." Ethan said and pulled out his phone. "I haven't had dinner yet. Are we going anywhere to eat?"

"We go down to the lobby and eat there. We managed to get our first 3 days to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner free." I explained and he shook his head yes.

"Ok. But would I cost anything? I'm not part of your stay." Ethan asked.

"I dunno. Maybe Daddy can ask the nice lady at the desk if he can get you dinner for free with us." I said.

"Ok." Ethan said.

"Ethan, you be good." his mom said as she hugged him and walked to the door.

"I will, Mom." Ethan said and she walked out the door with a wave.

"Caroline, get ready to go to the lobby." Mama said as she got her shoes. "Ethan, Sophie, that goes for you, too."

"Yes, ma'am." We both said and I got ready to go.

After we were all ready, we headed out the door and down to the lobby. The lobby was huge and the tables were all set out for dinner. We got in line where dinner was being served.

"We don't have to pay for your food, Ethan." Daddy said as he got back from talking to the nice lady standing at the desk.

"Thank you, sir." Ethan said and grabbed a plate.

I got a chicken pie, fries and a chocolate milkshake and sat down with Mama and Caroline at a table. Ethan and Daddy sat down after me and it didn't take long for a conversation between them two. I ate everything on my plate and waited for everyone else to finish eating their food. After they ate, we headed back to the room and started the party.

"So, whatcha wanna do now?" I asked Ethan as he opened up his bookbag.

"I have a few movies we can watch." Ethan said as he pulled out a CD case for movies. I ran over to the food cabinet and got a bag of popcorn and set it in the microwave. Ethan skipped ahead through the previews and I poured the popcorn into a bowl before sitting down beside of him.

bored at"What's this movie about?" I asked.

"It's King Kong. The older version sucks, so I got the new version." Ethan explained. "Trust me when I say that you'll like this movie. Have you ever seen it before?"

"Not this one. I've seen the older version, but the ape wasn't that realistic." I said and ate some popcorn. "Plus, the lady playing the main role had bad acting skills. She nearly fainted every time she seen the ape or gotten into danger."

"If you were in her place, would you act like she did or do your own thing?" Ethan asked.

"I would do my own thing. I probably would yell or be immobile at first, but I would eventually do my own thing and try to fight back against the native people." I said and watched the movie as it started to play.

I was a little bored at first at the beginning, but it started getting more interesting halfway through the movie. There was alot that was different in this movie than the older version and this one was way better by far.

"So, was it any good?" Ethan asked as the end credits came on as I shook my head yes and stretched my arms. The ending was sad and I nearly cried.

"Yeah. I hope that Carl guy gets arrested and I really wished that Kong would've lived." I said. "He was just trying to protect Ann from what those people were doing to her."

"I know, but he still didn't have to kill most of the people." Ethan said. "Don't call me corny, but I think that Kong is like Jack because he never gave up on Ann no matter what she went through."

"I don't think it's corny. I think what you said was awesome!" I said and Ethan smiled. "Why do you think that?"

"Because Jack noticed when Ann was missing from the ship and he went to go find her when the others stopped searching. Then he basically jumped off a cliff for her and still followed her up to the top of the Empire State building." Ethan explained and I listened in closely. "Then Kong doesn't kill her like he did these other women in his boneyard. Instead, he protects Ann when she's being chased by those dinosaurs and tries to rescue her from the others. He climbs to the top of the tower and dies still protecting her. Jack is soon up there and Ann realizes that he is Kong to her. Then I thought that it wasn't beauty that killed the beast, it was Ann who saw beauty within the beast."

Wow. I'm stunned. I let my mouth hang open and Ethan smirked.

"Wow...just wow." I said in awe and Ethan chuckled. "How did you manage to come up with that?"

"I did a report on it for school. I got an A+ on the assignment because the extra credit part was how you would view the theme of the movie differently and what does it mean to you." Ethan explained. "The teacher said I was great at this and recommended me for stuff like that. I may go for an English major when I go to college as a back-up plan if being a rap artist doesn't work out for me. What's your back-up plan?"

"Well, if I don't make it in music, then I'm going for journalism. I'm pretty good at reports and writing." I explained. "Caroline's been looking up tips for being a fashion magazine director with her friends and I've also helped them a little before. So I may just be a reporter for a newspaper or for a magazine of some sort. What other movies did you get?"

"How about the Goonies? I love that movie." Ethan said as he got out the DVD case.

"I love that movie, too!" I said as Ethan switched the DVDs. "I'll fix more popcorn. Don't start the movie without me!"

I walked back into the kitchen and put another bag of popcorn in the microwave. I rushed back and poured the popcorn into the empty bowl as Ethan pressed play.

I always loved this movie. I liked how Mikey and his friends went on an adventure for gold and saved their homes. Brand sounded like Caroline in a way and acted like a jerk to Mikey. I liked where they all went down the tunnels and were like pirates when fighting the bad guys.

I wanted to be like a pirate. Caroline and I would always play with me back then, but now she doesn't want anything to do with me.

"They're so awesome!" I said when the movie ended. "I always loved pretending to be pirates with Caroline."

"I wish we could do that, but we may accidentally wake up the neighbors next door." Ethan said and I sighed.

"What time is it?" I asked and Ethan checked his phone.

"10:12." he answered. I usually go to bed around midnight on the weekend watching movies or reading a book. After that, I go to bed and don't wake up until 10 in the morning. "Do you wanna watch another movie? I got about a few more."

"What are they?" I asked.

"I have Titanic, Ice Age and Jaws." Ethan said as he took them all out and laid them on the floor. "Take your pick."

"Ice Age! That movie is great!" I said and noticed the partially empty bowl of popcorn. "I'll get more popcorn. And don't-"

"I know, don't start the movie without you." Ethan said and I disappeared into the kitchen for another bag of popcorn. I stuffed the bag into the microwave and waited for the timer to go off. I got out the popcorn and walked back to Ethan. I poured the contents into the bowl and sat down as the movie started.

Ice Age was a funny movie and I liked Sid because he's hilarious! Diego was also awesome because he's a sabertooth tiger. The baby was adorable and Manny made him look so small beside of him. My favorite part in the movie is when they took the shortcut in the ice and they see all of the things trapped in the ice. I laughed at the next part when the baby slid down in the tunnels and the animals followed him. It was funnier when Diego cheered and wanted to do that again. I would totally go down the tunnels with them because it looks like fun!

"Global warming, ha!" Ethan laughed as the movie ended. "If only they knew."

"I would like to know where the spaceship came from that got stuck in the ice." I said. "And what looked like the 'evolution of Sid' part was funny. I wonder if that's how sloths were made?"

"I know, right? And I want to know about those aliens, though." Ethan said and checked his phone. "It's nearly midnight." I peeked over his shoulder to see if he was right and he was.

"Wow. I'm hardly tired, though." I said and looked at the empty popcorn bowl. "I'll take the popcorn bowl back." I grabbed the bowl and took it into the kitchen where I put it in the sink.

"What do you want to do now?" Ethan asked as I walked back into the living room.

"I dunno." I shrugged and sat down.

"Do you wanna see if your parents will take us out somewhere tomorrow after breakfast?" Ethan asked.

"Sure. Is a walk around this neighborhhood too far of a walk or maybe to the zoo?" I asked. I've been wanting to go to the zoo for a while now since we arrived, but I didn't know if we would have enough time.

"They're both not too far away from here. I wanna go to the zoo first and maybe we can go see a Broadway show." Ethan said and my eyes widened.

"Forget my dumb idea, let's see a Broadway show!" I said and nearly jumped up in excitement.

"I think they're playing the Lion King or the Little Mermaid this time." Ethan said. "I'm fine with either one. But we can go to the zoo first and then to Broadway."

"That sounds like a good idea." I said.

"Hell yeah!" Ethan said and slapped a hand over his mouth. "Whoops."

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing." Ethan said. "I just said something I wasn't allowed to say in front of other people."

"Oh. What was it?" I asked and noticed how Ethan seemed to squirm. "You can tell me. It can't be that bad."

"You haven't really learned of cussing, have you?" Ethan asked and I wondered about it. I think I remember someone say something about cussing before.

"I think so." I said.

"Let me help you understand this before you go through the awkward teen changes and crap like that." Ethan said and got his laptop out. "You're almost to the stage where kids go through a change. I'm kinda halfway through that and only stay nice to people I barely know. If I'm with my two friends or just by myself, it's a different story."

"How so?" I asked and scooted closer where Ethan got up YouTube on the laptop.

"Well, first we start listening to different music. Some grown ups don't like it because they don't understand the music. But we just listen to the lyrics and drown out the rest." Ethan said and put his earphones in. He gave one to me as he played the song he found. "Just listen and you'll see what I mean. It's hard to drown out the music, but try and listen to the lyrics."

I listened past the instruments and stuff to listen to the lyrics. Ethan was right. The song playing right now was beautiful and I don't see why grown ups wouldn't like it. The music nearly made my ears bleed, but the lyrics weren't bad at all.

"You're right. But what else is there to cussing?" I asked, still a little confused.

"This part of the song has a few cuss words in it." Ethan pointed out and I listened. I heard a ew people say things like that and heard Daddy say stuff like that a few times before. What's so bad about them?

"What's so bad about these words?" I asked and Ethan cut off the song and went to Google.

"It's bad to cuss sometimes and they mean different words. 'Fuck' means 'bad' in a way and it means for someone to go and leave them alone." Ethan said and typed the word. There were a few definitions for it and he showed me every different way of saying cuss words and what they meant.

"Cussing on Sundays is bad and causes bad luck for some people. So I learn to bite my tongue and say something like 'Holy Mackenzie!' on Sundays." Ethan said and my ears perked.

"Sorta like on the Goonies?" I asked. They used that saying alot and some cuss words in the movie now that I remember.

"Yeah. And another way of using cuss words is when someone is bugging you non-stop and you say 'piss off' or 'go away, limp dick." Ethan said and it got me to wondering.

"Hey, didn't you say that 'dick' basically meant your wiener?" I asked and Ethan snorted from laughter. "What?"

"Nothing, it's just funny listening to you say that." Ethan chuckled. "And you're also right about that. The teachers at your school haven't told you older kids about puberty, have they?"

"Nope. Caroline did, but not me." I said.

"Ok. The boys just get sweaty more often and grow hair, but the girls go through something different." Ethan said and got up YouTube again. "There's videos that can explain alot better than me."

I remember asking Mama where babies came from one day about a year ago and she didn't really answer me. She told me that they came from the love that other mothers and fathers have. Well, now I know and I know why she decided to wait for me to hear it in school. It's disgusting and not many kids in my grade were told.

"Man, I never knew that growing up meant going through all of that." I said after Ethan showed me the last video. "Why did you decide to tell me now and not make me wait to learn in school?"

"Because I was one of those kids who was told at the last second and got made fun of because he didn't know what puberty or cuss words were about." Ethan said and I patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry." I said.

"It's ok. Now I know and learned when and where to use cuss words right." Ethan said. "I really didn't want to see you suffer the same fate and I could already tell that Caroline wasn't going to tell you."

"I know. She thinks she's gotta worry about her friends more than her parents and her own sister." I said with sorrow and Ethan hugged me.

"Don't worry. I got your back." Ethan said and I hugged him back.

"Thanks. I guess she's vain." I said.

"I just used 'vain' because I couldn't say that she's a straight up bitch." Ethan said and I snorted.

"You got that right. I just wonder why she stopped playing with me and stopped hanging out with us." I said and slumped. "I really miss how close we once were. I remember when she and I were playing Jenga and we made a nice fortress for her mini dolls. It was fun."

I smiled at the memory of us using every Jenga block we had to build a large fortress for the dolls we had. Mama took a picture as Daddy stood with us holding a Ken doll while Caroline and I held our Barbie dolls. Daddy had sneezed and he bumped against the table, knocking over our fortress. We were a little sad, but we still had the picture of us and the fortress.

"Don't worry about her. You can count on me as your older brother." Ethan said and snapped me back into reality.

"Thanks, Ethan. You're the best older brother I could ask for." I said and we hugged one more time. "I'm sleepy. Everyone else went to bed, right?"

"Yeah, they were gone by 11." Ethan said amd we both got in our sleeping bags. I packed mine in case we went camping somewhere in the park. We were technically camping in the living room.

"What time is it now?" I asked.

"About 1 in the morning." Ethan answered and my eyes widened.

"Wow. I usually go to bed around 12 on the weekends, but I guess I beat that record." I said and yawned. I guess talking made me tired.

"Ok, let's go to bed." Ethan said as he turned off his laptop and got out another movie. "We can fall alseep to this one unless you decide to keep your eyes on the screen the whole time."

"No, I may fall asleep by the time the 5 minute mark passes." I said and got comfortable in my own sleeping bag.

"So, you and I will tell your parents in the morning about going to the zoo and to the Broadway show?" Ethan asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, and get to bed so you won't pass out during the Broadway show, crackhead." I said and he laughed. Ethan also told me what drugs were and to never ever do them as long as I live. I felt my eyes starting to droop.

"Goodnight, Sophie." Ethan said as the movie started to play.

"'Night, Ethan. Thanks for the talk and stuff." I said and closed my eyes.

I knew I wasn't gonna make it through the first 5 minutes of the movie and I felt myself drift off to the land of dreams.

So, whatcha think? Is it bad, good, somewhat good? I decided to make them non-sugar crazy and let them have a serious talk.

I was like Ethan during middle school. I was the one girl in my grade who still didn't know about puberty or cuss words until it was too late. Many classmates teased me about it and when i finally got to puberty, they still made fun of me. One guy went as far as taking a pad out of my pocket and throwing it to the front of the room. Well, now that's over and they hardly bother me anymore.

I haven't been posting as much even though I had some good times to write. The reason why is because I had a boyfriend of 8 months and he broke up with me the Saturday after Valentines day. I'm over him now, but I was in great pain for a few weeks. Now I'm done with him and moving on.

Anyway, I hope you loved this chapter! Please read and review and no flames please! :)
