"Are you ready to go?" Delilah called up the stairs to the two girls. They both froze and exchanged a look.

"Ready to go where?" Kate asked slowly standing up and starting to brush her hair while she talked.

"Ready to go to dinner," Delilah said suspiciously, "Monica told you about an hour ago."

"Right," Kate said slowly. Everything was starting to make sense. "We will be down in a minute. Right now Abby is in the bathroom." Abby looked at her confused, and Kate point to the bathroom. Abby grabbed a changed of clothes and went in.

"Alright," Delilah replied, "You have five minutes and if you not in the car then you are walking."

"Mom you do remember Abby and I can both drive, right?" Kate asked,

"Of course I remember," Delilah said desperately trying to cover the fact that she had indeed forgotten. "We are going to Linda Jeans. Do you want to me us there?"

"That would be great because there are six of us and only five seats in the land yacht," Kate pointed out, "We will not be that far behind you."

"Alright," Delilah agreed having forgotten that there were six people, "We will see you there and don't take anymore time than you need."

"We will be right behind you," Kate assured her mother. With that Delilah left and Kate turned back to the room. Quickly she pulled on a slightly more respectable outfit. Then she checked her phone. There it was right in front of her. At that moment Abby walked out.

"What's up?" she asked Kate now that she was also now dressed respectably.

"She texted me," Kate told Abby, "Monica texted me to tell me that we were going to diner in a hour."

"And the problem with this is that…" Abby prompted her friend as they descended the stairs and walked outside. Kate had her phone on her almost twenty four seven so texting her was actually a fairly reliable way to reach her.

"That she knows I don't read her texts," Kate told Abby. Maybe it was not the nicest thing to do, but Kate had stopped reading her sisters texts about a year ago because Monica would usually be trying to get her to do something or other. Abby knew better than to get involved in this. Kate and Monica were liable to blow up a small country if they really got going at each other, and Abby was a lot smaller than a small country.

They got into the convertible and turned the car on. It started playing country, and Kate did not even wait for Abby's glare. She turned it onto pop, which was a good compromise. With that she pulled the convertible out into the road and started to drive.

The drive was reasonable uneventful and they arrived in Oak Bluffs shortly. Locating a parking space was, if anything, even easier. There was a slot right in front of the restaurant and they took it. Then they scrambled across the street and into the restaurant. Looking around they located the rest of Kate's family.

"Hey," Kate said greeting them. She and Abby took the two empty seats next to Monica because there was not really another option.

"We would have ordered your drinks, but we didn't know what you wanted," Anna told them.

"I texted you," Monica said innocently, "but you didn't answer me."

"Did you not answer your sisters text?" Anna asked, "That is not very polite when she was trying to do something nice for you."

"I was driving," Kate told them, "And last time I checked texting while driving is not only deadly. It is illegal."

"Right," Delilah agreed. She was proud of her youngest daughter. Kate had the sense to know what not to do while driving.

At that point Kate and Abby disappeared behind their menus and studied their options. It only took Kate a couple of seconds. She came there often enough to know exactly what she wanted before she entered the restaurant. It took Abby a little longer but they had all decided and placed their orders within ten minutes. Then they turned to each other and began conversation.

"So how have you been Monica?" Kate asked, "Are you still with Pete?"

"Yes," Monica answered flashing Kate a look, "We had a great time at a county fair last week. He won a teddy bear." Kate froze. Despite all the tension between the sisters they had always formed a united front against their brothers and parents. Several years ago when Monica still live at home, the girls had come up with a safe word. If either one said teddy bear it was time to change the subject.

"So what is up with," Abby started to asked Monica, but changed course when Kate kicked her in the shin, "your band. Your were really good last time I heard you."

"Thanks," Monica said sincerely, "we are still together but we haven't done anything in while. No inspiration."

"You could do a cover," Kate suggested, "I mean you do call yourself a girl power band. What if you did a cover of different girl power songs?"

Monica watched Kate for a few moment considering. "That is not actually a bad idea," Monica agreed, "What songs were you thinking?"

"'This One's For the Girls' by Martina McBride," Kate suggested.

"That's a good song," Monica agreed, "I remember you listening to it." There was a pause. "That's a really good idea. I'm going to talk to my band members." Monica and Kate exchanged a smile.

Abby also grinned. Kate had always loved it when she and Monica were close, and Abby knew how much Kate had missed that closeness. She was glad for her best friends sake that Monica was changed back to the way she was a few years ago. It was a little more peace and love in the world and that was always needed… It also meant Kate owned her twenty dollars…

Did you like it? I had fun with Monica. By the way if you have never heard the song This One's For the Girls by Martina McBride…then go listen to it now. I love that song. Anyway please review.
