Both girls stayed silent until they got home. When they reached the house, Stephanie jumped out of the car and ran straight to her room. D.J. followed, and Danny came in later on. Stephanie jumped onto her bed. Tears rolled down her cheeks. How could D.J. tell? She promised she wouldn't.
Then Stephanie heard little footsteps down the hall. "Oh great. Now Michelle is coming," Stephanie thought.
Seven year old Michelle came running into the room. "What's wrong?"she asked.
"Nothing. I would just like to be left alone. Okay?" Stephanie tried to kick Michelle out kindly as possible.
Michelle just frowned and went away.
Next, D.J. came into the room. "I'm really sorry Steph. I just didn't want anything bad to happen to you, so I had to tell Dad."
"Right," Stephanie said sarcastically. "Now what's going to happen to me at school tomorrow?"
"Steph, it was only a threat. Don't worry, no one will touch you." D.J. said. She tried to come up with a story, but nothing came to mind.
"Well I still won't be trick-or-treating this year."Stephanie said sadly.
"I know Dad overreacted. I'll try to talk him into letting you go." D.J. explained.
"Okay. But the biggest problem is that I have to explain everything to our school principal. What am I supposed to say?"Stephanie cried.
"Stop thinking about all that stuff. We'll just have to see what happens tomorrow." D.J. said as she walked out of the room.
Stephanie stayed quiet and relaxed for a while. "At least the worst part is over. I don't have to deal with Gia anymore today." The phone rang, interrupting Stephanie Tanner's thoughts.
She picked it up. "Hello."
"Hey Steph. I have great news." It was Jen. "I'm not sick anymore. Now we could go
trick-or-treating together."
"No we can't!" Stephanie cried out.
"What's the matter?"
"I told Deej about the plan, and she told Dad. He caught me. Now my punishment is no trick-or-treating. I also have to call Mr. Matthews and apologize. What do you think about that?
"Oh gosh! No offence, but your dad is definitely overreacting. I'm really sorry Stephanie. I'm not going trick-or-treating alone. Hold on a sec.
"Bedtime Jennifer." Stephanie heard Jen's mom yell.
"I gotta go. Talk to you tomorrow."
"Bye," Stephanie said and hung up the phone.
"Bedtime girls!" She heard Danny yell from downstairs. Stephanie got into heard PJs and went to sleep.
