A/N: Well hi again. Ok so it's totally snowing outside...like really snowing so I finished this chapter early and thought I might as well post it too. Honestly I can't believe winter is here :( Anyway here it goes.
"God Silver…I can't believe Kelly actually let you move in with her." Annie exclaimed as she settled into her new favourite spot on Kelly's couch.
"Yeah well look… now she's got a live in babysitter," Silver said sweeping her hands from the top of her head down to her knees in true Price is Right fashion, "Nah but all joking aside she's been amazing, actually everything's been pretty amazing…I guess I have you to thank for that huh?" Silver said elbowing Annie lightly in the ribs as she plopped down next to the girl.
"Well I like my thank you's said with a little unnecessary but completely delicious buttery popcorn and lots of violence so let's get this show on the road Silver."
"Ok, Ok, but I'm warning you now that these are some extremely scary movies and I just put Sammy to bed so I don't want to hear any girlie screams coming from you, got it?" Silver growled this out trying to be as fierce as she could but failing miserably.
"Me girlie?" Annie said cocking her eyebrow up in a questioning look. Annie was the epitome of a girlie girl and they both knew it. They collapsed onto each other in a fit of laughter. That's when it happened, Silver's nails grazed the inside of Annie's thigh right above her knee cap, a complete and utter accident that Silver wasn't even aware of, but which Annie was all too aware of. An unstoppable shiver ran through Annie's body as a blush stained her cheeks. God what was happening to her? Silver was her friend and a…girl. This had never happened before. This could not be happening now.
Silver threw herself to the other side of the couch where the throw blanket was folded up. "Jeez Annie its California I thought you mid western girls could handle the cold" Silver said with a laugh as she threw the blanket directly at Annie's face. "Now are you prepared to be more nervous and scared than you ever have in your life?" Silver said with a wicked grin on her face as she turned back to look at Annie from where she was crouched in front of the DVD player.
The feelings coursing through her body and the thoughts running through her head already had Annie feeling more nervous and scared than she had ever been in her life…and excited. She looked down at Silver, smile firmly in place, "I'm ready."
Twenty minutes into the movie both girls were completely zonked out. They hadn't factored in the toll of playing with a four year old all day would have on their bodies…total exhaustion. Curled up under the throw blanket the two girls had fallen asleep bowl of popcorn between them. Silver's head rested on Annie's shoulder and Annie's arm was draped across not only the bowl of popcorn but Silver's waist as well. And that's how Kelly and Brenda found them when they got home.
"Kelly don't they look like little angels?" Brenda exclaimed in a whispered voice.
Kelly stood for a moment taking in the tableau before her. Her younger sister and her best friend fast asleep on her couch after a day of babysitting and a failed attempt to watch a scary movie. Kelly chuckled…apparently Silver couldn't keep her eyes open long enough to show Annie the true joys of horror films, she was going to be disappointed in the morning. It was then that Kelly truly saw the girls, head on shoulder and arm protectively clutching, Kelly knew then that she had Annie to thank for everything.
