*Sam's POV*
I went to my room and waited for Luna to text me. I was a bit nervous since I had never let anyone besides my family see me in my pajamas before, but this could be my one chance to get Luna to open up about that letter. I wonder why she hasn't confessed yet. Was she waiting for me to say something? I wouldn't even know where to begin if were to. "So, have you kissed your girlfriend yet?" Simon asked. "She's not my girlfriend, Simon." I said. "But, you want her to be." Simon said. "Moooom!" I said. "Simon, stop tormenting your sister. She's got enough on her plate as is." Mom said, walking by with hamper full of laundry in her hands. Suddenly, my phone started playing 'Crush' by David Archuleta. I looked at it and saw a picture of Luna that I took of her while she was performing at the Royal Rumble. "Hey, Lunes. What's up? I told you to text me." I said, answering the phone while running my fingers through my hair. "I know, dude. I just thought it'd be easier to call. Hope that's cool." Luna said. "It's totally cool." I said as I gestured at Simon and Mom to shoo. "Rockin'! Anyway, my 'rents said that you can stay the night. My dad wants to see if you'll like his famous 'Lynn-sagna'." Luna said. "I'm sure I will. Your dad is a chef at Aloha Comrade after all." I said. "True. And everyone loves his Lynn-sagna. Our neighbor, Mr. Grouse can't get enough of it. Anyway, I gotta go." Luna said. "Okay. See ya." I said.
That weekend, I walked to Luna's house with my guitar case on my back while carrying a backpack and sleeping bag. When I arrived, I rang the doorbell and heard a bunch of crashing and shouting before Lori answered the door. "Hi, Sam. Luna's literally been on pins and needles waiting for you. Come in." she said. "Thanks, Lori." I said, following the eldest Loud sibling inside. I looked around nervously, remembering that among Luna's nine sisters was an eight year old with a habit of popping up out of nowhere. Luna came down the stairs still wearing her day time clothes. "Hey, dude." she said. "Hey." I said, still inspecting the place. "What's on your mind, Samurai? You seem distracted." Luna said. "What? Oh, sorry. I'm just watching out for that spooky sister of yours." I said. "Boo." a soft voice said.
I screamed and jumped into Luna's arms. Which I didn't realize I had done until I turned my head and looked at her. Both of us blushed. "Ha. Ha, ha. Ha, ha." Lucy said. "It's not funny, bruh." Luna said as she put me down. "How about we put my stuff in your room so we can hang out until dinner?" I asked. "Good idea." Luna said, leading me upstairs. "Can I ask you something, Lunes?" I asked. "Sure." Luna said. "If a person told you that they like you as more than a friend, what would you say?" I asked. "Uhh… Geez, man. I don't know. It would depend on the person I guess." Luna said. "What if it was someone you've known for a while and thinks you're the prettiest and coolest girl they've ever met?" I asked. "Ummm… Well…." Luna said, rubbing the back of her neck. At that moment, Lori appeared in the hallway while talking on her phone. "Luna and Sam are having a sleepover tonight. I know, right? Literally totes adorbs. Hold on, Boo Boo Bear. Bobby says 'Hi', Sam." she said. "Hi." I said awkwardly. Luna groaned of embarrassment. Can't say I blame her. "Kids, dinner's ready!" Mr. Loud said from downstairs. Luna shielded me from the stampede of her siblings then we both went to the dining room together.
"Welcome, Sam. Hope you enjoy my favorite Lynn-sagna. It's my own recipe." Mr. Loud said. "I'm sure I will, Mr. Loud." I said as I sat next to Luna. After dinner, I politely asked for some Lynn-sagna to bring home then Luna and I changed into our bed clothes. She wore a nightgown that matched her shirt while I wore a pair of pajamas the same color as my jacket. "Wanna watch 13 Going On 30 before we hit the hay?" Luna asked. "Sure. I love that movie." I said. "Rockin'! C'mon, dude!" Luna said. We went downstairs and Luna dug through the Loud family movie collection while I took a seat on the couch. *She looks so cute in that nightgown.* I thought to myself. "Here it is! Get ready, Samurai!" Luna said. "I was born ready, Lunes." I said, hoping she wouldn't realize that I was flirting with her. We watched the movie and sang all the songs while eating popcorn. It was fun. Would be more fun if she didn't have ten siblings popping up everywhere, but nothing can be done about that. After the movie, it was time for bed so I followed Luna and Luan to their room.
The next morning, Lincoln made eggs for everyone. I had to stop myself from bursting out laughing at the fact that Lori got hard boiled. "So, what made you decide to make breakfast for everyone, Lincoln? I thought cooking was your dad's territory." I said. "It usually is, but I gave him the day off since he made dinner last night." Lincoln said. "That's nice of you. Thanks." I said. "Linc's a pretty cool little dude." Luna said. "Must take after his sisters." I said. Luna and I had a jam session in her garage so we could hang out in privacy. I wanted to remind her that she never answered what I had ask her the night before, but we were having so much fun together. If only one of us had the courage to talk about the letter. After the jam session, Luna walked me home. "We should have a sleepover again some time. I had a blast." I said. "Even with my crazy sibs being out of control?" Luna asked. "I hung out with you that one time you invited me over when you and your siblings had that 'Playing The Friend Card' thing going on, remember?" I said. "Oh. Right." Luna said. "Well, thanks for walking me home. You didn't have to do that." I said. "I wanted to. You're my best friend, Samurai." Luna said. "You're my best friend too." I said. "Well, see you on Monday." Luna said, starting to walk away. "Luna!" I said, getting her attention. She turned around and I said, "Arrivederci." Luna smiled and said, "Au Revoir."
