Dinner was an overall success. Viggo left soon after, mumbling something about a painting he wanted to finish before Monday. Sean left a little while after that, saying he had to call Christina (or however you spell his wife's name). So, that left Elijah, Billy, Dom, Orlando, Amy, and Roni, all rubbing their foreheads from vicious headbutts. Damn that Viggo.
"So," Roni called from in front of the t.v. "What are we watching?"
"Nothing I'm in." said Elijah.
"Nothing I'm in, either." said Orlando.
"Me, neither." added Billy.
"I guess that goes for me, too." Dom sighed.
Roni turned to them and put her hands on her hips. "You do realize that that cancels out almost all of the movies we own?"
Amy walked out of her room with a movie in her hands.
"What have you got?" Roni asked.
"Just my favorite movie." Amy said as she put the old vhs in the player and pressed start.
Roni clapped. "Yay! I love this movie! And, don't worry...none of you guys are in it."
The group settled down on the couch, armchair, and floor, surrounding the t.v.
Most of the guys lasted until about 15 minutes into it before groaning in disgust and heading into the kitchen. Billy shouted out to the remaining three, "Let us know when it is done. We are gonna play some poker."
Amy, Roni, and Orlando stayed and watched the film.
Amy walked out at the part she hated and went to talk to the guys in the kitchen. "I could break out my anime collection after this."
"What kind of anime do you have?" Billy asked.
"Spirited Away, Dragon Ball Z, and .Hack." She paused. "Yeah, that's all."
Billy laughed. "That's a small collection."
"Yeah, well, the other animes I like I can watch on tv. Why waste good money to buy them?"
Roni and Orlando walked in, wiping tears from their eyes.
"That was such a beautiful story!" Orlando whined.
"I can't believe you've never seen it." Roni sniffled.
Billy snickered. "Did you two actually watch it, or are you just pulling our legs?"
"Yes, we did watch it." Orlando said.
"And you cried?" Elijah asked, incrediously.
Orlando stood up a little straighter. "Yes, I did."
Billy started to laugh and Elijah joined him.
"Geesh, Lando, you really are a sensitive guy." Dom muttered, causing the other two to laugh harder.
"Oh, hardy-har-har...I happen to think it's cute." Roni tried to stand up for Orlando.
It didn't work.
"Oh...oh my God!!" Billy shrieked.
Shaking her head, Amy walked out. She was back a few minutes latter with a cheap looking dvd case with Invader Zim writen in black marker on it. "I found a fourth anime on my shelf. I forgot that I burned a copy from Anthony."
"Whose Anthony?" Dom asked.
"Your boyfriend?" Elijah teased.
"Gosh no! He's my twin brother." Amy said turning bright red.
"Invader Zim!" Roni screamed "Grr...why is there bacon on the stove?!"
Billy, Dom, and Orlando all looked at the stove, then back to Roni with questioning looks on their faces.
Elijah screamed back, in a ridiculously high pitched voice, "I made it myself!"
Amy, in her own high pitched voice, said "I must have taco's or I will explode....It's happened to me before." They all moved back into the living room to watch a few episodes of Invader Zim before it was time for the guys to go home.
When they had gone home, Amy pulled out her crochet basket.
"What'ch makin now?" Roni asked.
"Just fiddlin' around. Christmas is comming soon." Amy replied.
"Yeah, I need to get started on my Christmas knitting." Roni went to her room and pulled out her knitting basket.
The two girls settled on the couch and did their respective crafts, and channel surfed, until Roni stood up and stretched. "I am going to bed. I will see you sometime tomorrow. Oh....we get to sleep in! It is Saturday!" She gathered up her belongings and walked over to her room. Right before she opened her door, she mentioned, "Oh, and if you have anything you want to get done that involves being driven somewhere, it has to happen before 4. I have a date." And with that, she disappeared.
Amy looked around. Roni. On a date? And she hadn't told her about it until the last minute. Amy put away her crochet and went to her room to check her email.
There was a letter from the contractors building the park. They had gotten more than expected done in the past two weeks, and had moved up the day they would be done putting things together. New finishing date, May 17th. She walked back into the living room and put that on the calendar.
Roni woke up the next day with a huge smile on her face. 'What a dream!' she thought before swinging her legs over the side of the bed and placing them on the floor. She sat up and stretched. Slipping on some slippers and her robe, she padded over to her door and was about to open it and head to the bathroom when a thought slapped her in the forehead and stopped her in her tracks. She had a date today. She slid down to the floor and sat in front of the door. She had a date today, with Orlando.
