Chapter 2



" Ring" the bell sounded.

Emma stood up and headed toward the classroom door. She hurried to the cafeteria to meet her cousin. Always punctual, Amanda was already standing there. Her dark brown curls were up in a ponytail.

" Hey Mandy"

" Hi Emma" Amanda said, " Ready to go?"

"Hi Emma"

Emma and Amanda turned to see a blonde guy waving at them.

" Emma that guy is so cute." Amanda said.

" He's Brandon Clarkson.I have a few classes with him I think he likes me. C'mon lets go"

The two girls walked the block and a half to Emma house talking about various things. They arrived at the white and red two-story house in about 10 minutes.

" So Emma" Amanda began as soon as they had put their backpacks down, " Do you wanna have a theme party?"

" I don't know really."

" 'Cause one time in 6th grade I went to a jungle party it was really fun."

" Amanda.Hello I'm in 8th grade I don't wanna copy a 6th grader."

" Okay Sorry..Hey I know what about a Hawaiian theme when me and my mom were planning my dad's birthday I saw all this great Hawaiian stuff at the party store."

" That's a really great idea Amanda." Emma exclaimed.

The girls spent the next few hours planning the details of creating the perfect Hawaiian theme birthday.

" Hi Emma, hi Amanda." Rachel said as she walked through the kitchen were the two girls were sitting. She kissed Emma and got a bottle water out of the refridgerator.

" Whatcha doing?" Rachel asked.

" We're planning my Birthday party, Mom." Emma said.

" Yeah Aunt Rachel its gonna be really awesome." Amanda said.

" Do you think Dad will let me invite boys, Mom?" Emma questioned.

" I don't know you better ask him." Rachel told her.

" Rachel are you home?" Ross called to his wife.

" I'm in the kitchen."

" Hi Hun" Ross said as he hugged Rachel.

" Hey Em, Hi Amanda" He said to the girls.

Ross pulled Rachel out of the kitchen into the spacious living room.

" Are you feeling better or?" Ross asked.

" No today at work I constantly felt sick." Rachel answered.

" Rach maybe you should see a doctor I mean it's been a week now.I'm worried about you."

Ross gave Rachel a big kiss.

" Dad, Mom can Amanda spend the night so tomorrow first thing we can go buy my birthday stuff?" Emma asked her parents.

" Sure just have her call her parents to make sure." Ross said.

Amanda called her parents and got the okay to stay.

" Uncle Ross" Amanda called, " My dad wants to talk to you."

" Okay" Ross answered, " I got it in here."

Ross and Rachel were in their bedroom relaxing.

" Hi Chandler"

" Hey Ross" Chandler answered, " I wanted to ask what you were doing next Thursday?"

" Um nothing" Ross answered suspiciously, " Why are you asking me out?"

" No Joey got three court side tickets to the Knicks vs. Kings game for next Thursday."

" Are you serious? That's awesome of course count me in."

" Great I'll tell Joey. I gotta go Monica wants to talk to Rachel"

" I'll see you tomorrow night when we drop off Amanda. Here's Rachel."

"Hi Mon." Rachel said.

" Hey Rach" Monica said, " Are you better?"

" No" Rachel answered, " I don't know what's wrong with me I'm tried.sometimes sick to my stomach."

" It's probably left over flu germs from the winter" Monica said, " Office's are full of recirculating germs."

" I know" Rachel said, " Amanda is quite the little planner I wondered where she gets that from."

" Well not to brag but me" Monica boasted. " So what's Emma birthday looking like?"

" It's a Hawaiian theme" Rachel answered, " And she wants to invite boys."

Ross who was reading a magazine looked up worried at Rachel's last statement. Boys he thought my little girl wants to invite boys.

" Really well it looks like Amanda's not the only one who takes after her mother."

" I know but I 'm looking at the panic Ross has on his face and I don't know if the whole boy thing is gonna happen."

" Hehehehehe Well I let you get some sleep Rach. See you tomorrow."

" Ok Bye Mon."
