"You're late." JJ said to Peter as the boy entered the house. Vickii followed in right behind him and sat down with Michelle and Haley.
"Sorry, Mike made me help him get ready for his date and I...I kind of set his hair on fire." Peter said.
"How did you do that!?"
"I may be gay, but I know nothing about hair." Peter admitted.
"You're worse than Sammy."
"I never set anyone's hair on fire." Sammy protested, still holding her stuffed Cheshire Cat.
"Yet." Paul added, popping a chocolate in his mouth.
"Hey Lancey, want me to do your hair?" Sammy asked.
"I don't need to be as flaming as JJ, thank you." Lance said, playing with his new necklace.
"Damn." Sammy snapped her fingers.
"I'll be back." Lance said and left the room. The group stayed quiet until they heard the bathroom door shut.
"Is it cannon?" Michelle asked.
"Is what cannon?" Sammy asked.
"Oh come on, even I get this one." Kid said.
"What are you talking about?" Peter asked JJ in a whisper.
"Is Sance cannon?" JJ asked, ignoring Peter.
"Will all of you get over that already?" Sammy sighed.
"It's cannon, isn't it?" Haley asked.
"No, it's not." Sammy stated.
"What's not?" Lance asked as he reentered the room.
"Nothing." Sammy muttered.
"Sance." JJ stated.
"What is that anyways? I hear you guys reference it a lot." Lance asked.
"It's-"
"Don't you even." Sammy cut Michelle off.
"Okay then. Could you join me in the kitchen Sheyla?" Lance crossed his arms.
"I'm good." Sheyla said.
"I'll help you." Vickii offered.
"Sammy can help you." Haley and Michelle held Vickii down and spoke together.
"But...getting up." Sammy groaned.
"Go help the boy." JJ said and flicked his hand towards the two. Sammy let out a grunt and got up, grabbing a box of chocolate before going into the kitchen with Lance. The group waited in silence for a minute before they all jumped up and ran over close to the kitchen and listened in on the conversation.
"What do you need?" Sammy asked, her mouth sounding as if it was full.
"I...uh..." Lance's voice was soft.
"You didn't ask Vickii out you know, you had one job Lancey." Sammy chuckled. "She's a nice girl...sometimes." Vickii opened her mouth to yell at the girl, but Michelle elbowed her in the side and held a finger to her lips. "You like her. Don't be shy, she doesn't like shy."
"Sam..." Lance muttered.
"You could use the flowers you gave me and ask her out now, you can just say that you gave them to me by mistake." Sammy suggested. "Although, I don't think her favorite colors are blue and purple." Sammy hummed for a second. "I have paint, we can paint them black and red, she'd like that."
"I didn't get those flowers for her Sam." Lance stated.
"She'll understand-"
"I got those colors for a reason Sam."
"Because they're pretty?"
"No, because I know you love blue, purple and white combinations. You told me the three colors are beautiful." The hiding group held back giggles and strained to hear squeaking of someone walking across the kitchen.
"They are really cool colors together." Sammy admitted in a nervous chuckle.
"And the stuffed cat?" Lance asked.
"Everyone thought the Cheshire Cat was awesome." Sammy protested.
"We did." Haley muttered.
"Would you quit avoiding this?" Lance snapped.
"Avoiding what? You're the one who says I run into everything head first." Sammy pouted.
"And that head of yours can be very clueless sometimes." Lance scoffed.
"Well, excuse me." Sammy's sarcasm could be felt in the air. The group heard a soft yelp come from Sammy.
"I'll make it clear to you." There was silence for a short moment and the group was confused on what happened in the other room, until Sammy spoke.
"Did you just...oh shit you did..."
"Did what?" Michelle asked softly.
"Shush." JJ snapped.
"Oh fuck, we're cannon." Sammy gasped.
"Finally!" Michelle, Haley and JJ shouted in unison and jumped in the air, exposing them.
"Were you guys listening in!?" Sammy shouted.
"There goes my chances." Vickii muttered. "Even the gay has a boy."
"I have a name." Peter said.
"I give it another week." Kid stated.
"Sance or Jeter?" Paul asked.
"Jeter."
"You get that reference, but you didn't know 'leedle leedle'?" Michelle scoffed. "We need to sit this one down and explain everything."
"We don't have five years, hun." Haley said.
"It would take ten." Paul corrected.
"True."
"When's the wedding?" JJ asked Sammy.
"I will Spartan kick you down a flight of steps." Sammy threatened.
"I'd love to see that." Kid and Lance said together.
"How can you have Valentine's Day without me!" Black-Star shouted as he kicked open the door and entered the house.
"Dibs." Vickii said and went over to the star. "I'll be your Valentine." Vickii winked.
"Where's Sam?" Black-Star asked, completely ignoring the girl.
"Oh I am kicking his ass." Vickii started rolling up a sleeve.
"How about you don't." Tsubaki said and placed a hand on the girl's shoulder. "He's already been beaten up by a girl once today."
"You?" Tsubaki winked and put a finger to her lips.
"I didn't miss anything important, did I?" Kilik asked as he entered the house as well.
"Sance is cannon!" JJ announced loudly.
"I need new friends." Sammy sighed and threw herself, face-first, on the couch.
"Dramatic much?" Kilik chuckled. Sammy let out a loud groan that was muffled from the couch.
"She can be worse." Sheyla stated.
"Why are you guys here?" Kid asked.
"We are here to invite you guys on a special mission we've all been assigned by Lord Death himself." Kilik stated.
