Hey, everybody. I updated sooner, so now you have to review! It's a take
some give some kinda thing. Lol, I'm just kidding, though reviewing is
strongly encouraged(.
Here's chapter nine.

I ran to the bed and gently shook Johnny awake. "Johnny, get up. Johnny, you have to get up. My mom is going to have my ass on a silver platter if you don't get out of the damn bed!"
"All right, I'm coming. Dammit, I was having a good sleep too."
We ran across the neighborhood as fast as we could, and by the time I slipped through the window, my mom was just getting out of her bed. I threw my clothes off and jumped into my bed after making the covers look very untidy. I could hear her footsteps in the hall, so I sprawled out so that only half of my body was covered up with the sheets.
"Ashley, it's time to get up," she said while briefly stepping into my room.
"Mom, it's Saturday," I role-played.
"If you get out of the bed in the next thirty seconds, you're ungrounded."
"I'm up!"
(Later that morning)
"Mom, I'm going to the Curtis' house!"
"Okay, be back by twelve tonight."
I rushed out the door, and started toward the small house at the end of the street. As I entered the living room, I yelled, "Hey, people. Howzit?"
"It's good, Ash. It would also like to know if you wanted something to eat," Steve said, with a crooked half grin.
"Nahh...I already had lunch. Thanks for asking though." I then lied down on one seat of the couch, leaving half of my body hanging over the arm rest. I bent my head back so that what I saw was seen upside down, and viewed Pony looking at me like I was an idiot.
"Hey, there. How's life?" I spoke extra happy that day.
"Life is fine. What put you in such a good mood?" he asked.
"I just happen to have the best life ever. Is that a good enough reason?"
"I guess so," he replied. With that, we sat back to watch T.V.
"Yay! There's a Superman marathon on today!" I absolutely loved Superman. I was cursed with having a sad obsession with him, and back then I believe the same curse was given to many seven to nine year olds throughout the world. I watched with very much enthusiasm until Johnny came walking in a half hour later.
I didn't say anything, but I lifted my legs up from over the edge of the couch and made room for him to sit down. He sat down and leaned his head back on the top of the couch. His eyes closed after a moment and he drifted of into a light sleep. After noticing this I remembered that I hadn't let him sleep much the night before. I nudged his shoulder and asked him if he wanted to go sleep in Pony's bed instead of having to sleep in the middle of a noisy house that was about to get noisier.
"Sure," he said. He lifted himself up off of the couch and trotted down the hallway with his hands in his pockets. When I saw that he had gone into the room and closed the door, I resumed my position on the couch with my feet hanging over the edge.
"You know, I didn't get much sleep either. I think I'll go join him."
"Of course you will," Pony said trying not to laugh.
I slapped him on the back of his head lightly. "Will you shut up kid? It's Johnny! Now, if it were Steve..." I said with a mischievous look on my face. The looks on both of their faces were priceless. "Dudes, I'm kidding. I'd pick Johnny over anybody."
"Whatever," Steve said.
I left them to go sleep.
All right peeps, you don't have to review, but if you don't the ninja penguins will lot your demise in your sleep... Sorry. That wasn't necessary. Still, review.
