Hey! Here's number three for the weekend! I hope to have another up tonight, but it might end up being tomorrow. We'll see. As always, please send a review and I hope you enjoy it!
"So, I got to see where Ava lives last night," Misty gossips at lunch the next day, "and it is literally the coolest. It's a bunker! Underground!"
"And you haven't even seen the inside yet," I chuckle, "It gets better."
"Is that possible?" she gasps.
"Yes, yes, it is. Wanna come over and see? I got permission to have everyone over tomorrow afternoon. You're all invited," I smile at everyone.
"Heck, yes!" Jenna crows, a sentiment echoed by everyone else at the table.
"Great! One o'clock sound good to everyone? I'll put up signs so you know where to go," I giggle.
"Hah," Misty snorts. "Even with the signs, they won't be able to find it. How about I drive everyone over?" Our plans are settled shortly and we all disappear to go to our next class.
Time Jump: Saturday morning
I did all the baking I wanted to get done last night, once my homework was done and I cleaned up a bit, of course. I whipped up a beautiful chocolate cake with Oreo frosting and a fruit pie and even some cannolis. Now, I need to make some food for lunch and dinner, and some snacks. I think pasta and a salad are a safe bet for dinner, as well as sandwiches and fruit for lunch. I make some burger meat as well, but don't cook it just yet. I'll save that for dinner and burgers are always better fresh. For snacks, I have hummus with chips, popcorn, assorted cheeses, and grapes. As soon as everything is made, I change into a cute pair of skinny jeans, a pinkish plaid button-down, and a pair of socks. I split my hair into two braids and do my makeup quickly. It's almost one. They'll be here soon and I should probably be outside to help them find the door. I shove my feet into a pair of slippers and dart to the front door, unlocking it before I go outside. The bunker looks more impressive from that entrance.
Misty pulls up about three minutes later, everyone in tow.
"Where do you want me to park?" She shouts from an unrolled window.
"Wherever you like. This whole road is our driveway," I call back. She throws the van into park and the van unloads.
"This is awesome."
"So cool."
"I can't believe you live here."
"Man, it really is a bunker."
"I told you it was sweet." The comments just keep coming. Eventually I cut them off.
"Come on, guys, it's cold out. Let's head in." I turn away and start to open the main door.
"Wait- didn't you go in through a different door last time?" Misty's words give me pause. Do I want to take them in through the front door or the garage? Mm, let's just stick with this.
"I did, but that was the garage. This is the front door. Now come on." I heave the door open and let them through. "Down the stairs with you. Want the grand tour?"
"Yes!" They cry in unison, making everyone laugh. So I lead the way on a weaving trail through the house, hitting all the biggest hotspots: kitchen, my room, garage, bathroom. All the cars in the garage create a ruckus.
"Is one of them yours?'
"Well, I want this one, but it needs a paint job and tune-up first. Eventually," I tell them, pointing to a cool, vintage car before continuing on.
"Man," Eric comments. "The only thing that could make this place cooler would be a dungeon." I start to laugh. And laugh. And laugh.
"You don't!" Aiden whines. "That's just not fair." I just flick my wrist at them and walk away, headed for the dungeon. When I reach the bookcases, I turn back to them.
"This thing is fully stocked. Touch anything at your own risk. Do not sue if you manage to maim yourself." I stare Jack down. He's most likely to do something stupid.
"My hands will remain in my pockets the entire time," he vows. I just purse my lips, then spin back and open the dungeon.
"It's got a secret entrance, too? Seriously? This is cooler than the batcave. Except, well, the batcave has Batman," Jenna cries, causing raucous laughter.
"Believe me," I choke out, "I know." With that, we start chowing down on food and binge watching Doctor Who from the very beginning. Well, the beginning of the newest version. I get hundreds of compliments on my food and am told over and over that I should be a chef someday. At nine-thirty, we wrap up the marathon. Quite sadly, too. I was enjoying the show. I'll have to watch more of it. Once I've extracted a promise from Aiden to let me borrow his DVD's, I let them go home.
Ding. My phone buzzes.
Hey, Ava. Can't call right now, going in to take these bastards down. It's only three demons. Just a quick slash and we will be on our way home tomorrow. Hugs, Dean.
Ding. There it is again.
We'll be safe, I promise. I'll call you after we finish this up to let you know we're alright. Sam. I take a long breath before responding.
Love you both. Thanks for letting me know. Anxiously awaiting your call. Stay safe, Ava. Why are we all signing our names? Whatever. Maybe that's just one of their quirks. Juliet leans against my leg, finally appearing after everyone's left. I absently stroke her head. Now, it's just a waiting game. Please let my brothers be alright, I pray silently.
She's finally heard back from them! Will they be alright? Find out, fingers crossed, later tonight!
