The next morning I woke in happier than ever before. I just had a sleepover with most of the girls that have been my role models. Life was good.
We got up and because Lauren was hungry, we made breakfast. I won't lie I was pretty hungry too. We made some pancakes and bacon and chomped it all down with orange juice. With full stomachs we cleaned up our mess a little but before watching some cartoons. In the middle of the episode we were ambushed by the boys. The bursted into the apartment, battle crying, spraying blinding with water guns.
"What the-" Denise yelled as she turned around.
"Sneak attack!" Rosenthal cried. Us girls ducked for cover behind the couch, occasionally throwing pillows at their faces. They had us surrounded.
"This is the end!" Lauren faked bawled into Jamie's arms.
"Not yet it isn't." Jaime said in a determined voice. We all huddled real close for Jaime's plan.
As soon as she was done explaining we got in position for counter attack.
"Go!" Jaime yelled.
Lauren and I, being the smallest, ducked behind the coffee table. Meredith and Denise were our distraction throwing themselves out from behind the couch with the leftover pillows, using them as shields and weapons. Jaime was readying the next move. When Meredith and Denise had gotten all of the boys attention Lauren and I crawled into the next room and silently closing the door.
"There in this box!" Lauren ordered as we dug through the cardboard box, pulling out three sling shots and two squirt guns.
"Let's full them up!" I smiled excitingly. Once we were ready we carefully army crawled back into base without getting caught. Jaime was ready with the jumbo marshmallows and the plastic spoons. The pounding of soft pillow against body was heard in the background. Meredith and Denise cautiously made their way closer to us to we could throw the guns to them.
"Now!" Jaime called. In a split second Meredith and Denise turned around just in time for Lauren and I to toss the guns to them and fired right back at them. Meanwhile Jaime, Lauren and I, readied our slingshots and fired marshmallows. The boys were just as surprised as we thought they should be. Joey was the best at blocking the marshmallows, occasionally catching on in his mouth. Just as the boys came in early, their water guns ran out. Once they were all defenseless we stood, prepared to fire at will. I hoped their surrendered soon like we planned. I didn't know how long I could hold that position or my slingshot much longer. The boys looked at each other, sad and annoyed.
"Fine we surrender." Dylan grumbled. We cheered.
"Teaches you to mess with us." Denise taunted, batting her eyelashes.
"Yeah yeah, whatever." Rosenthal shrugged.
"Thank god for your plan Jaime." I sighed with relief. "I thought we were done for."
We were all still soaked, as far as being soaked with a water gun goes.
"We'll now that the apartment is wet, we get to hang out in yours." Lo smirked as she crossed her arms.
"We can watch Harry Potter?" I suggested. There were smiles all around
"I like the way you think." Joey nodded and we all headed to the boys flat. I smiled.
"Oh by the way you officially pass." Jaime whispered as she walked pass me.
"Pass what?" I whispered back.
"Now you're one of us." Meredith answered.
I beamed. I didn't know how a water gun fight and a sleepover determined anything but I couldn't stop smiling. Officially one of them.
We watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was one of my favorites. Half Blood Prince was tied with the Deathly Hallows (pt1 and 2) the Sorcerer's Stone, the Order of the Phoenix, the Chamber of Secrets, the Goblet of Fire, and the Prisoner of Azkaban as my favorite Harry Potter films. I really just loved when Harry said "not to mention the pincers." And just everything about it. I only wish they could do every single detail in the movie. A six hour representation of the book with the cast would be my fantasy. My eyes were glued to the screen along with everyone, occasionally making jokes.
"Poor Draco," Lauren said at the scene where he had to kill Dumbledore. "All he wants to do is go to Pigfarts."
I chuckled.
The movie ended and had to go home. Joe came with me, cause it was too far to walk at my point of laziness. When we got there, I was in shock. There was no one home. Evanna was always home at this time, her program was on. She even made Denny watch it with her. I peeked in the apartment, dumbfounded.
"Anna..." Joe called from the hallway.
"Yeah?" I called back heading in that direction.
"Didn't you say that Evanna's boyfriend Denny lived next door?" He said cautiously.
"Yes..." It was then where I saw it. There was a tie on Denny's door.
"Holy crickets." I gasped.
"I don't know about you," Joe said looking towards me, "but I think Denny is getting laid."
