AN: Thank you ImagineThat21 for favouriting the story and Jenna for your review. If anybody sees any errors at all, please feel free to tell me what they are and I'll go fix it up. So anyway my double chapter kind of turned into a triple chapter...=]. I hope you like them.

Stacey bounced on the balls of her feet happily.

"What's up with you," Claudia managed to ask through a mouth full of twizzlers.

"Sam called me last night," she said smiling widely, "he's coming home for the weekend."

"What? Sam?" Claudia cried out after swallowing the last of her candy. "Stacey, I thought you were over him now."

Stacey looked away to avoid answering, when she seen Kristy walking towards her her expression brightened again.

"Hey Kristy!" she called out, waving the brown haired girl over.

"What's up?" Kristy asked. Stacey could tell that she was surprised Stacey was talking to her. All the girls from the BSC were still friendly with one another but as they grew older they had kind of splintered apart.

"Claudia and I were just talking about how much we miss our old sleepovers," Stacey smiled.

"We were?" Claudia said, completely clueless. "I mean we were," she repeated when Stacey kicked softly at her ankle.

"Yeah, they sure were some fun times," Kristy agreed. "Sometimes I miss middle school."

"Me too," Stacey agreed quickly. "Don't you think it would be really fun to have one last sleepover? We can invite everyone over just like we used to."

"Yeah that'd be cool," Kristy agreed whilst Claudia narrowed her eyes. "We could have it at my house."

Stacey grinned even wider, she had been hoping she would say that. "How about this weekend?" she tried hopefully. Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes.

"Yeah alright," Kristy agreed instantly. "My brothers are coming home from college this weekend but Watson and my mom should be cool."

"Great," Stacey said, her mouth starting to hurt from smiling so much.

"Don't worry about Sam being around," Kristy said sympathetically. "He'll keep out of our way."

"Oh yeah," Stacey said, trying to tone down her excitement. As far as Kristy knew Stacey was still mad at her brother for dumping her.

"I'll talk to Mary Anne," Kristy offered, "and Dawn. Should we ask Shannon? I mean she lives close by."

"Sure thing," Stacey agreed. "I'll catch up with you at lunch," she said as Kristy started to walk away.

"Anastasia Elizabeth," Claudia said in a shocked voice when Kristy was out of ear shot. "What are you playing at?"

"Nothing," Stacey said innocently.

"Oh please," Claudia rolled her eyes unable to keep herself from smiling, "you're just trying to see Sam."

"Maybe," Stacey grinned back.

Saturday came and Stacey stood in front of her overnight bag wondering what to pack. She wanted to look pretty and maybe a little bit sexy but at the same time she did not want to give the game away.

"Stacey!" came a call from downstairs, "Claudia's here!"

"Oh great," Stacey said. She made a quick decision and grabbed her cutest nightgown, shoving it in her bag along with one of her more shorter dresses. Claudia was driving Stacey over to Kristy's house. Mary Anne and Dawn were meeting them there. They had invited Mallory and Jessi to come but neither of them had seemed particularly interested.

"So?" Stacey asked, turning around for Claudia as they walked down Stacey's driveway. "How do I look?"

She was wearing a lacy, white crop top over her white bra and a high waisted, mint green skirt which ended part way down her thighs. On her feet she wore dark grey socks with black polka dots and silver mary janes.

"You look beautiful Stace," Claudia sighed. "Although I have no idea why you are even bothering to give Sam Thomas the time of day."

Stacey smiled, Claudia's attitude towards Sam had become even worse once Stacey had informed her of the real reason he had broken up with her. She had already threatened him with further violence at school last year when she had found out he had 'seduced' Stacey.

"He uses you, all the time. You just let him do it," she finished.

"I love him," Stacey mumbled.

"That's not really a good reason Stace," Claudia replied sadly.

"I like your clothes," Stacey said trying to change the subject.

Claudia was wearing a short, grey dress with a large shirt over the top. It had a picture of a zebra on it and she had cut the sleeves off so thread frayed over her shoulders. She was also wearing zebra striped tights and her purple doc martens which were tied up with red laces. She had arranged her hair in a side ponytail whilst Stacey had just let hers fall naturally.

"Come on," Claudia said, "we'd better go."

oxoxoxoxo

Claudia parked her car a bit further down the street from Watson's house as his driveway was already filled with what Stacey recognised as Sam and Charlie's cars as well as Dawn's kombi van. Claudia and Stacey grabbed their bags and headed to the front door.

AN: I reread some old BSC books to get a better feel for the characters and I remembered how everybody always went on about the clothes Claudia and Stacey wore so I thought I'd include a little of that in my story.
