Once dinner was finished, Kat had to go home.
"Aww, you have to leave now, Kitty Kat?" Dico asked. Kat slapped him.
"I hate those kitty nicknames. It's just Kat. Nothing else." she said.
"But it's fun to call you names like Kitty Kat!"
"Dude, do you realize what you've gotten yourself into?" Sami asked, walking over to them. "Everytime you come over here now, he's gonna be like, "Hey, Kitty Kat!" and other shit like that." Dico and Kat laughed.
"Well, everytime I come over here, I'll just slap him." Kat replied, looking at her watch. "Aw, I gotta go. I'll see you at school, Sami!"
"Alright. Bye, Kat!" Kat walked out the door and Sami and Dico walked into the lounge. They sat down on the couch. Dico and everyone else started a conversation. Sami fake yawned.
"I think I'm gonna go to bed." she announced.
"What! Bed? It's like eight o'clock." Bam replied.
"I know. I'm just...tired, I guess."
"Okay. I'll be down here if you need me." Sami nodded and "yawned" again. She walked upstairs and into her room, shutting the door behind her. Remembering what Novak said about him being in her dreams, she got ready for bed quickly. She hopped into bed, closed her eyes, but failed miserably when trying to fall asleep. About 30 minutes later, Sami was pissed.
"Damn it!" she whispered loudly, punching the bed. "Why can't I fucking sleep?" She sighed and fell back onto her bed, closing her eyes.

"I'll be down here if you need me." Raab said, mocking Bam.
"Shut up." Bam said, leaning back and crossing his arms.
"Aww, Bammy-Bam's embarrassed."
"No, I'm not."
"He's just learning what it's like to be fatherly to someone. Don't make fun of him." Ape said, sticking up for her son.
"Awww...so...Bam, you gonna adopt her?" Bam stopped being interested in his shirt sleeve and looked up at his friend.
"I never thought about that..." he said, quietly.
"Well, don't you want to"
"Yeah, of course I do. But...what if something goes wrong and I can't and she'd have to go back to her mom?" He shivered at the thought.
"Bam, don't think like that. Just...go up and ask her. I doubt she's asleep." Phil suggested.
"Yeah, Phil's right. That yawn was so fake." Ape said, laughing slightly.
"Okay..." Bam sighed and got up. He walked upstairs slowly, thinking about what he should say to Sami. Finally, he knocked on her door.
"Yeah?" Sami asked, opening her eyes,
"Can I come in?" Bam asked, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Sure, Bam." He opened the door and slowly walked into the dark room. He stood in the middle of the room, not even thinking about sitting down.
"Um...I need to ask you something." he said. Sami snickered.
"Why are you just standing there? Sit down or something." she said, patting the side of her bed. Bam blushed (Sami didn't see him blush since the lights were off) and sat down on the bed. "So...what's up"
"Well...um..." Bam tried to figure out what to say.
"What is it?" Sami propped a pillow up and sat up against it. Bam sighed.
"I want to...adopt you..." Sami's heart skipped a beat. She was really surprised and couldn't belive this was happening to her.
"Really?" she finally asked.
"Yeah...is that okay with you?"
"Of course! I mean...yeah, I'm good with it." Bam sighed in relief. Sami scooted over and gave Bam a big hug. He smiled at her.
"Well...you look tired, so I'm gonna let you go to sleep now." Bam said, patting her on the head.
"Okay. I'll see you in the morning. Night, Bam-Bam." Sami replied, snuggling under the covers.
"Goodnight." Bam walked out of the room and shut the door behing him. He walked downstairs.
"Well?" Dico said, lying down on the couch.
"She said she's okay with it." Bam replied, grinning.
"Awww. I'm so excited for you, Bam!" Ape said, hugging her son.
"Thanks, Ape." Bam sat back down on the couch and couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the night.
At about 11:00PM, everyone decided to call it a night. No one felt like driving home so they all stayed at Bam's house. Everyone went to their old rooms and fell asleep. Bam decided to go check on Sami before going to bed. He snuck upstairs and quietly opened her door. Bam laughed silently when he realized she was drooling on her pillow.
"Damn braces." he whispered quietly, as if Sami could hear him. Bam left the door slightly open and walked over to Sami's bedside. He lied down on the bed and watched Sami sleep for awhile. Bam watched her sleep until he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore. He finally fell asleep next to her.
About an hour later, Ape and Phil decided to check the house. After all that had happened, they wanted to make sure all the doors were locked, all the windows were shut and locked and that Sami was sleeping okay. The two of them walked towards Sami's room and pushed the door open slightly and saw Sami and Bam with his arm around her, sleeping soundly.
"Aww...that's the cutest thing I've ever seen." Ape whispered to Phil.
"I know. He really loves her." Phil replied back in a whisper.
"She's lucky to have found Bam..." Ape suddenly remembered something. "Phil...I remember walking in Bam's room one night when he was little and seeing you in that same posistion with him"
"Really"
"Yeah. I think I have a picture somewhere." Ape laughed, wondering where she put it. "Wait...I'll be right back." April ran upstairs and got her camera.
"Aww, Ape. Do you really have to do that"
"Yes." She smiled and took the picture, making the two of them stir. "Come on, let's go." She and Phil hurried back into their room, leaving Sami's door open. Leaving someone to stand in the doorway and watch Bam and Sami sleep.
