"Yeah, it's me. Connor did you hit your head or something?" Harley mumbled checking my head for any bumps. "How many fingers am I holding up?" I shook my head, putting her hand to her side. "I'm fine just a little shell shocked, had a creepy dream." I muttered, but saw that she still wasn't convinced, I sighed and looked at her again seeing how she now had a lip ring but looked to the floor before I started starring.
"You were holding up 1 finger by the way, and it wasn't a nice one might I add." I mumbled, trying to talk to her like I normally would, except for the fact that were usually 14 and not 20! Harley rolled her eyes, but was smiling. Yes! It was working now if I can keep up the act. "OK, but your still crazy."
"And what gave you the first clue." I mumbled crossing my arms trying to stay calm, even though I'm freaking out on the inside. "Um… maybe that fact that you let a dream get to you." Harley replied smirking. I copied her smirk and leaned against the wall act shocked as I said. "Really, we've been friends for how long, and you just now noticed that." But I failed as I started smiling not being able to hold my act.
"Whatever Connor, get dressed." Harley mumbled but she was smiled, ha mission make Harley smile accomplished! I started my ways up the stairs, before I walked back down. "Um where are we going again?" I asked, looking at Harley feeling like an idiot. "Shopping, for supplies for Katie's surprise birthday tomorrow remember." Harley said, raising an eyebrow knowing I was acting strange. But I just shrugged it off and ran back up the stairs. "Yep, sorry I'm crazy remember!" I yelled, as I reached the top of the stairs and started the search for my room.
After what felt like hours of many wrong turns, I finally found it. Closing the door behind me I quickly searched for something to wear. I stood there for a few minutes mouth hung open seeing I had a walk in closet. I rummaged through the closet till I found a shirt that made me love myself for buying it. I quickly changed into the outfit about to go down stairs, when something caught my eye. A jewelry box, well since it was mine no hurt in looking.
After getting a cool mustache necklace, cool esc. ring, and a watch I made my way down stairs. I gulped feeling Harley glaring daggers at me. "It took you that long, to change into your usually clothes." She grumbled. I shrugged, and continuing making my way down the stairs. "I couldn't find this shirt and I really wanted to wear it."
Harley raised an eyebrow, but just shook it off and made hr way to the living room."Whatever, come on let's go." I nodded following after her, but when we made it to the door she stopped and turned around. "Connor, come on really. Did you forget we always take your car, since it's sweet." I tried to hide my shook and shrugged, "Sorry, I'm out of it today." I mumbled. "Yeah you are. Want me to drive." She exclaimed holding out her hand.
"No way are you driving Melissa." I muttered, not sure why I said it, but it just felt right. I turned around and gulped looking for the keys but went with a strange feeling that they were on the table, which they were weird… I shrugged it off and mad my way to the car, scared to death of driving it.
But as soon as I opened the door of the gray mustang convertible, everything seemed in place. I didn't even notice I was actually driving until I stopped the car in the malls parking lot. "Oh good thing you can still drive, I was scared for a second." Harley mumbled, stepping out of the car. I shook my head, and stepped out of the car.
I followed closely behind Harley not sure on what we should be looking for. I was too distracted by my thoughts that I almost ran into her when she suddenly stopped. "Alright Connor, what's going you feeling alright." She asked a little worried. "I'm fine, just like I said I'm just off today." I mumbled walking a head of her. "So where are Scar and Mandi?" I asked, but just seeing Harley wasn't responding.
"Um… Connor, were right here." I heard someone say, that's wavy black hair was covered by a gray baseball cap. Who I assume is Scar, leaving the Blonde to be Mandi. "Oh sorry didn't see you guys." I mumbled, scratching the back of my head. It's one of my many nervous habits; I just hope they didn't notice.
"Alright Connor it ok." Mandi cheered. "Anyway, what are we getting for the party?" I was so thankful that she said something. I nodded walking towards them. "Well I was thinking since Katie's such a kid inside we throw her a party like she was a teenager. I mean like playing games on the wii, truth or dare, and things like that." I mumbled praying Katie's personality didn't change and this would actually be a good idea.
"That's not a bad idea." Harley mumbled nodding in agreement. "Yeah, and it actually seems like it be fun!" Scar cheered. "And it doesn't harm any animals." Mandi nodded in agreement, I shook my head laughing a little. People never change I guess, I mean Katie's still an inner child, Mandi's still a hippie, Harley still sarcastic, and Scar still seemed random.
"Alright I guess we should split up decorations, and games sound good?" I asked, but turned to see that I was just left alone with Mandi. I shook me head and sighed, yep something's never change. "I guess you're my only friend huh Mandi." I mumbled as we started to walk to find decorations. "Well we younglings have to stick together." She replied, I just rolled my eyes and laughed at her nickname for us. I was always the youngest until Mandi came along; she was only 2 months younger then me which I always joked with her about. "Yep, I guess so."
After a few hours, we hours we meet up for lunch. Seemed like Scar and Harley had a lot of our favorite games that we play, well I guess use to play. "Wait did you get rock band?" I asked, remembering how we always love to play it together. "Na uh!" Harley said shaking her head "Something better." She said pulling out Rocken' group(1)" I gasped amazed that she got it. It was like rock band, had the same qualities, but there was a mode were you'd dance while singing alone to one of the songs.
"Sweet Harley, Katie's gonna love it!" I exclaimed, knowing that I would probably love it more than all of them. But hey, who can blame me; I was still a 14 year old girl on the inside. "Ok, so what you guys get?" Scar asked. I smiled pulling out a plastic tiara and placed on my head. I laughed, dodging Scar as she tried to grab it. "Nope, it's only for the birthday girl and since I just turned 20 a like a week ago, I get to wear till Katie's 21"
"No far, I want a tiara!" Scar exclaimed chasing after me, I jumped on one of the empty tables sticking my tounge at Scar. "I'm the queen of the castle and you're a dirty rascal." I chanted, before running again. I was starting to get tried so I hid behind Harley. "Help me Harley!" I screamed, seeing Scar was only a foot away.
"Sorry not a human shield" She mumbled stepping out of the way. I flinched taking the tiara off my head and threw it at Mandi, just as Scar tackled me to the ground. "Ouch!" I wined, wincing as I touched my head. "Come on Scarlett, you could have given me a concussion." I tried opening my eyes, but the light was too bright. "Sorry Connor, I just really wanted that tiara." Scar mumbled as she held out her hand. "Um… Ok which one of you is the real Scar." I mumbled looking at the three Scarlett's I decided to go for the middle one, but I guess I was wrong since my hand went right through her. That or she's a ghost… Hey… wait never mind that can't be true.
"Gosh, I'm really sorry Connor." I hear her mumble as I felt both of my arms being pulled up. "It's ok." Mumbled, blinking trying to see straight. "How are you going to drive how?" Mandi asked. I blinked rapidly knowing I couldn't I guess one of you will have to drive." I mumbled. "Oh please please let me." Harley exclaimed making my head ache worse.
"Quite down, I can't think straight." I mumbled, trying to glare at her but failed my head hurt way too much. I had a feeling I shouldn't let Harley drive, it was the same from earlier when I found the keys. "Um… Mandi can you do?" I asked, trying to see straight. "Why can't I?" I heard Harley whine. "Come on Harley give it a rest, you crashed her car the last time you drove it, plus it makes more sense since they do share the house." Scar said, well at least I think it was Scar.
"Fine." I hear Harley mumble, I bet she's even pouting. "Ok, so let's put everything in Connor's car since the party is going to be at our house." Mandi said grabbing a few bags. I stood up finally being able to see straight, I lost balance for a second but quickly regained it. "I'm fine." I said seeing the worried looks on all their faces.
Soon enough I was back at the house… well I guess it's my house in this weird dream, or whatever this is, I still don't know. I sighed, steeping out of the car and helped Mandi bring the bags inside. "Man I'm tried; I think I'll just take a nap." I mumbled placing down the bags and just lay on the couch. "Connor, be careful, I think you might have a concussion." Mandi said handing me a pillow and blanket. "Thanks wake me up when it's time for dinner." I mumbled as I drifted off to sleep.
"Connor wake up." I heard someone say trying to shake me awake. I groaned turned back onto my side pulling the blanket over my head. "Connor please get up." They said again pulling the blanket off my head. "5 more minutes mom." I said turning over again. "Connor Ann Marie Reich, get upo right now unless you don't want dinner." I groaned but sat up and opened my eyes, shocked at what I saw. "Mandi… you're your so old…" I whispered. "Haha, very funny Connor. Now come on I made 3 cheese pizza." Mandi replied.
I was shocked what was going on, but then it come flooding back to me. I woke up and I was 20, and I'm still 20. I sighed and went to eat my dinner."Thanks Mandi." I mumbled finishing my dinner and went to walk up stairs to my room. "Hey where are you going?" I turned around raising an eyebrow at Mandi.
"Come on remember, you said you make the a few sweets for Katie's party." Mandi said her hands on her hips. "I'll do it tomorrow." I mumbled continuing my way up the stairs. "No Connor, remember you have to spend the whole day with her so we can set up." I sighed and went into the kitchen getting the ingredients. "Fine, but you're helping."
After 3 hours of baking I couldn't stand any more. Luckily I was pulling out the cake pan, for her 3 layered cake. "OK, Mandi, and tomorrow right before the party put all this in the over at 150 for about 5 minutes to warm them up, and have them melt in you mouth. And for the cake same but put it in earlier so you can frost and decorate it." I mumbled as I wrote it all down and put it on the fridge.
"OK, night Connor." Mandi yawned as I made my way up the stairs. "Night." I yawned back falling on my bed not bothering to change into pajamas. I rooled over pulling the blankets up as I closed my eyes to get some sleep.
A COOL GAME I MADE WHICH IS A COMBINATION BETWEEN SING IT AND ROCK BAND. WHERE IT HAS A MODE THAT'S BASICALLY SING IT, BUT YOU DANCEWHILE SINGING. (Sorry for caps, just realized it and didn't feel like re typing all of it.)
