A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in forever! I've been hooked up on my other fic, Shadow Girl. I'm going to change the kids' ages from 29 to 25. I also didn't mention that Tomika lost about 10 pounds so she's not skinny but she's not fat either.
Disclaimer: I do not own School of Rock, Bowling for Soup, or their song 1985.
Chapter 6When everyone left Summer decided to start planning.
"Well," she said to herself, "What color should the decorations be?" She tapped her head with a pencil. She finally decided on rainbow pastels. She spent the next 5 hours planning. After the first 2½ hours she had a list that read:
Place:
Date: November 14, 2018 (Remember it's been 13 years since 5th grade, 2003!)
Time: 3:00pm-7:30pmGuest List: Zack, Lawrence, Marta, Alicia, Tomika, Frankie, Marco, Eleni, Michelle, Billy, Gordon, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Jones (Katie and Freddy both had single moms.)
Summer was so tired. She dozed off on top her list.
The next morning Summer woke up to the sound of a jet flying over her apartment. She looked at her clock, 8:30am. She stood up from her desk and decided to take a shower.
--Freddy and Katie's--
Katie woke up to the smell of burnt French toast drifting into her room. She hopped out of bed and walked into the kitchen. She was happy to see Freddy trying to be nice and cook breakfast. It was sweet, but funny.
"Need any help?" Katie laughed.
Freddy whipped around to see his wife. Her hair was tousled and she was dressed in a tank top with flannel pants.
"No," he said quickly.
"Stop being so funky and let me help!"
"Fine," Freddy sighed as he looked over at the black toast that was supposed to be her breakfast.
20 Minutes Later
"This was pretty good," Katie said as she chugged the last of her orange juice down.
Freddy, who had already finished, leaned back in his chair.
"Yeah, I'm a pretty awesome cook!"
"Ugh! You and you're delusional mind!" she laughed.
"I still think Sheila E. sucks," Freddy mumbled.
"Can't you just let that go!" Katie laughed. She couldn't believe he still remembered that!
"No, 'cause I'm right and I know it!" he protested.
"Ok I'll admit that she is as equally good as you now," Katie giggled.
"She sucks! She'll never be as good as me!" Freddy disputed.
"Whatever," Katie chuckled. She won just like in 5th grade! Ha!
"Equal...pishaw!" Freddy muttered as he scrubbed the frying pan.
Katie finished washing the dishes and walked into her room. She turned on the radio and began to choose her outfit. She was beginning to get big for her clothes. She decided to borrow one of Freddy's tee shirts and a pair of baggy jeans. She was definitely going shopping today. Sure Freddy's shirts looked hott on him but not so much on Katie.
"Freddy! I'm going to go shopping today. I need some new clothes!" she shouted from the room. Her favorite song started to play.
Debbie just hit the wall,
She never had it all!
One Prozac a day,
Husband's a CPA.
Katie began to dance around the room. She picked up her hairbrush and used as a microphone to sing along.
her dreams went out the door
when she turned twenty-four
only been with one man
what happen to her plan?
She was gonna be an actress
she was gonna be a star
she was gonna shake her ass
on the hood of white snake's car
her yellow SUV is now the enemy
looks at her average life
and nothing has been alright since
Bruce Springstein, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she's uncool
cuz she's still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985
She's seen all the classics
she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
even Saint Elmo's Fire
she rocked out to wham
not a big Limp Bizkit fan
thought she'd get a hand
on a member of Duran Duran
Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin
and who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen
when did reality become T.V.
what ever happened to sitcoms, game shows
on the radio!
Bruce Springstein, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she's uncool
cuz she's still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985
She hates time make it stop
when did Motley Crew become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop
Stop!
And bring back
Bruce Springstein, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she's uncool
cuz she's still preoccupied

Freddy had been watching her and she reminded him of a fifteen-year-old teenager. He couldn't help but let out a little chuckle. She looked so animated, jumping around with her hair swinging. The song stopped and Freddy walked over to the radio and turned it lower. She rapidly turned her head towards her husband.
"I was just-" Katie began to explain.
"Acting like a kid," Freddy laughed.
"Well...yeah," Katie admitted.
Freddy walked over to her and kissed her forehead.
"Wait a sec! Isn't that my shirt!"
"Yeah," Katie said timidly, "I need it. I'm going shopping today so I'll give it back."
Freddy just looked at her.
"I'm going to the mall with Marta, Alicia, Summer, and Tomika."
"Okay," Freddy sighed.
Katie rushed over to the closet where her purse sat. She stuffed her cell phone, a pack of tissues, some lip gloss, and a couple of aspirins, just in case she needed them. She threw on her jacket and was about to walk outside when Freddy grabbed her shoulder.
"Here, I'll drive you. I'm heading over to Zack's. The mall's on the way," he offered.
"Alright," Katie said as she walked over to his Envoy.
The whole way there the two debated about what color the baby's room should be. Freddy wanted red while Katie fought for her pale yellow. The two were so convinced that they were right and the other was wrong it was a mystery of how they could be friends let alone spouses! On all issues they saw things differently...except for rock. Punk, hardcore, or grunge, rock was rock and that was the best type of music in their opinions.
"Alright, I'll see you later Freddy," Katie said as she exited the SUV, " Summer said she'd drive me home."
"I'll be at Zack's I'll have my cell phone with me if you need me!"
"Yup!! Bye Freddy!"
"See you later Katie!"
Freddy sped away. Katie dug through her purse and pulled out her cell phone. She dialed Marta's number.
"Hello?" Marta answered.
"Sup Marta? It's Katie. Where are you? I'm at the entrance next to Bloomingdale's."
"Oh, ok. We're all here. We're going to head over to the food court. How about you meet us there?"
"Alright, see ya in a few!"
"Bye."
Katie hung up the phone and made her way over to the food court.
Minutes Later
"Hey, Katie! We're over here!" Summer called from a table in front of the A&W.
"Hi, guys," Katie said as she sat down.
"Isn't that Freddy's shirt?" Alicia asked.
"Yeah, I need some bigger clothes," Katie said bashfully.
"Oh girl! We're gonna make you the hottest mom ever!" Tomika exclaimed.
The girls giggled.
"On the way in I saw this store, Modish Maternity" Summer suggested.
"Alright let's go there!" Marta said.
A/N: Modish Maternity is completely made up and you'll see how Katie likes maternity wear in the next chapter!
