I looked at Lily once he'd left, but it seemed like she'd abandoned the idea of telling me what she was going to say. So instead, I turned back to my clothes, whistling one of my songs to myself and getting dressed for the concert – minus the wig, for now. "All ready," I sang, walking towards Lily on the other side of the closet. She'd picked out her clothes, but for some reason she had been looking at her Lola wig she'd been holding in her hands for the past ten minutes.

"Me too," Lily mumbled, turning around to face me, dropping the wig on the table, and took a while to suddenly turn back to her hyper self. "I am totally psyched for this concert! Three weeks was a long time to stay away from you, you know."

"I know," I laughed, ignoring the sudden change of mood. "Remember, I had three weeks without you too. And it was unusually quiet at school, even the teachers noticed."

"So the teachers missed me?" Lily asked surprised.

"No," I hugged one arm around her shoulder and we walked towards the staircase. "They just noticed you weren't there." Lily laughed, and I walked down the stairs with Lily behind me.

"Smells awesome in here Mr. S," Lily said once we'd gotten into the kitchen and sat down in front of the plates on the counter. My dad had the pizza box open on the island so that we could pick up another slice if we wanted. "Where'd you order from?"

Dad smiled, rubbing his hands together and grabbing a slice for himself. "I got it from Planet Pizza," my dad showed us the top of the box. "I thought I would try somewhere new."

Lily and I sighed, and lifted up our own slices of cheese pizza. We usually bought the pizza from the pizzeria around the corner, and I had no idea what sparked the idea of buying this one. "It's actually good," I told my family.

Dad nodded his head, and took another bite from his already half done pizza. "Are you going to eat Lily?" He said through a mouthful of pizza. I turned my head to my left, realizing that I hadn't noticed Lily hadn't touched her food yet. She looked distant, like she was thinking about something else.

"Yeah," Lily said cheerfully, turning to her pizza and refusing to up at us. She took a small bite, "yum, this is really good pizza Mr. S," Lily smiled and looked up, "If dinner is always like this than I should come over to your house every night." She laughed, and took another bite from the pizza.

"Your welcome anytime," my dad smiled at us and got up from his seat, bringing his plate to the dishwasher. Grabbing another slice of pizza in his hand, he walked towards the living room where he sat on the couch with his guitar. "But just letting you know that you have five minutes to get yourselves into the car." We nodded, and Lily brought her plate to the dishwasher, throwing away the crusts that she hadn't eaten.

We piled into the car ten minutes later than my dad had wanted. I had purposely gone slowly when I put my plate into the dishwasher, and then we both ended up in hysterics on the floor until we were yelled at to get up.

"Can you sleep over tonight?" I asked once we'd calmed down and had our backs to the cabinets.

Lily sighed, and nodded her head, picking herself up from the floor. "I'll have to ask my mom," Lily said to me, now that I was standing up as well. "May I use the phone?"
