The Sleepover

All of a sudden the doorbells rings.

Serena opens the door to find Ami, Raye, Lita, Mina, Setsuna, Amara and Michelle standing on the other side of the door.

"Hi, Princess Seraphina" Lita says.

"Hiya Princess Letitia" Serena replies.

"Are you going to let us in?" Lita asks.

"Yeah come in girls" Serena answers.

They all walk into the house with Serena.

"Wow, you've got a great place here Serena" Amara replies.

"Thanks Amara" Serena says.

Tristan walks into the living room with a tray full goodies that he made for Serena's sleepover.

"Are those for us Tristan?" Mikeala asks.

"Yes they are Mikeala" Tristan answers.

"Did you make them Tristan?" Letitia asks.

"Yes, I did Letitia" Tristan answers.

"I didn't know you could cook" Tristan Letitia says.

"Well I can Letitia" Tristan replies.

"You should taste his spaghetti its awesome" Serena says.

The scouts exchange looks with each other.

All of a sudden the doorbell rings again.

Tristan puts the tray of goodies down on the coffee table, he walks into the hallway and opens the door to find Leah on the other side.

"I'm here to help you now" Leah says.

"Come on in Leah" Tristan replies.

Leah and Tristan walk into the living room

"Who are you?" Amara asks looking at Leah.

"My name is Leah and I just moved into the neighborhood" Leah answers.

"What are you doing here?" Letitia asks.

"Tristan asked me to help him with this sleepover" Leah answers.

"Oh I was just wondering" Letitia replies.

"I know your are Serena but could you please tell me who's who" Leah says.

"I'm Letitia Kino but everyone call me Lita" Letitia replies.

"I'm Wilhelmina Aino but please call me Mina" Wilhelmina says.

"I am Amara Tenou and this is my cousin Michelle Kaioh" Amara replies.

"I'm Rayleen Hino but call me Raye" Rayleen says.

"Hi, I'm Setsuna Meioh" Setsuna replies.

"I'm Mikeala Mizuno but I prefer to be called Ami" Mikeala says.

"It's nice to meet you all" Leah replies.

"What's in the paper bag?" Setsuna asks.

Leah looks at and then she starts to smile.

There are sugar cookies in here Leah answers.

"I love sugar cookies" Setsuna says.

"Can we do something now?" Serena asks.

"We could watch a movie" Lita answers.

"Which movie should we watch?" Ami asks.

"I'll pick one out" Serena answers.

"Okay you go right ahead" Amara says.

Serena walks over to the movie cabinet and takes out "The Parent Trap".

"What did you chose Serena?" Tristan asks.

"I chose "The Parent Trap" and hope that is okay with everyone Serena answers.

"That movie sounds good to us" Leah, Tristan, Lita, Mina, Raye, Ami, Michelle, Setsuna and Amara say together.

"Can you not do that again?" Serena asks.

"Did we scare you Serena?" Tristan asks.

Serena nods her head.

Leah looks at Tristan and then lets out a long sigh.

"Is there something wrong Leah?" Amara asks.

"Yeah there is Princess Amara but I can't tell you because the Tristan would find out who I really I am and it's too early for my secret to be revealed just yet" Leah thinks to herself.

"What are you thinking about Leah?" Tristan asks.

"Oh nothing much Tristan" Leah answers.

"I somehow don't believe you at all" Tristan says.

"Well that's the truth so better believe me or else there will be trouble" Leah yells.

"There is no need to lash out at me Leah" Tristan says.

"I'm sorry Tristan" Leah replies.

"It's okay Leah but don't let it happen again okay" Tristan says.

"It won't happen again Tristan" Leah replies.

The scouts exchange looks again.

"Why do I get the feeling that I know you Leah?" Amara thinks to herself.

"What are you thinking about cuz?" Michelle asks.

"Its nothing Michelle" Amara answers.

"Are you going to put that movie in Serena?" Ami asks.

"I'm on it Ami so don't get to pushy" Serena answers.

Serena walks over to the TV, she turns it on, then she turns on VCR, she puts the in The Parent Trap and presses play.

"I haven't seen this movie in ages" Ami says.

"I want some popcorn" Amara replies.

"I'll make some popcorn for us" Tristan says.

"You're the greatest daddy" Serena replies.

Tristan smiles and walks out to kitchen to make the popcorn.

Leah sits in the big armchair by the door into kitchen.

"I like this chair a lot" Leah says.

"You'll have to move when my father comes back in because that's his favorite chair so he will want to sit in it" Serena replies.

"Leah you can sit in my chair" Tristan yells from the kitchen.

"Thanks Tristan" Leah says.

"Oh it's no problem because there are tons more chairs where I can sit" Tristan replies.

"Why are you being so nice to Leah?" Serena asks.

"Leah is a guest in our house tonight so we have to make her feel at home as much as possible" Tristan answers.

"Okay daddy" Serena says.

"Are you a little jealous Serena?" Leah asks.

"I'm not jealous at all" Serena answers.

"Well it sure seems that way to me" Leah says.

"I'm sorry if you think that way" Serena replies.

"We are trying to watch this movie" Amara says.

"Oh sorry everyone" Serena replies.

All of sudden the doorbell rings.

Serena jumps up off the sofa, she runs over and opens the door to find Darien standing there.

"Hi, Serena" Darien says.

"What are you doing here Darien?" Serena asks.

"I saw Ami, Michelle, Amara, Setsuna, Raye, Lita, and Mina heading over here so I came to see what's going on" Darien answers.

"I'm having a sleepover tonight" Serena answers.

"You didn't even bother to invite your best friend" Darien says.

"I'm sorry Darien but I guess I forgot" Serena replies.

"I'll let it go this time but don't let it happen again" Darien says.

"Come on in Darien" Serena replies.

Serena and Darien walk into the living room.

"Hiya Darien" Amara says.

"Who are you Darien?" asks looking at Leah.

"I'm Leah Malone and I just move in across the street" Leah answers.

"It's nice to meet you Leah" Darien says.

"Are you really good friends with Serena?" Leah asks.

"Serena and I are the best of friends" Darien answers.

"How long have you been friends?" Leah asks.

"We have been friends ever since I moved here 4 and half years ago" Serena answers.

"We are like siblings" Darien says.

"That's really cool Leah replies.

Leah you know you're right" Serena says.

"Well I'm glad you think that after the way we were arguing before" Leah replies.

"Yeah I'm really sorry that I was mean to you early" Serena says.

"That's okay Serena" Leah replies.

Tristan walks into the living room with the popcorn and puts it on the coffee table next to the goodies.

Tristan looks at the wall and lets a long sigh.

"What's wrong daddy?" Serena asks.

"There's nothing wrong Serena so just leave me alone" Tristan answers.

"Tristan I know you're missing me but to tell you isn't a good idea and if I did then everyone here will find out who I am and you never tell how you feel because you don't like to show your feelings to anyone not even to me your own wife" Leah thinks to herself.
