Chapter 7: Science Center Activities

One mild second Saturday of December 2023, I met up with my childhood friends Sarah, James, and Henri along with some of my other childhood friends Carly Shay and Spencer Puckett, as well as Carly's stepdad, Freddie Benson at Pittsburgh's Perfect Parties client Abigail Carson's apartment in Point Breeze. "Hi, guys!" I greeted my friends. "Hi, Angel!" Sarah greeted back. "The trouble is that my sisters and Jill stole all of the ideas for my party next Saturday," Abigail stated. "Besides ice skating at the PPG Place, I do not know what else I want to do at the Science Center!" "You could see the Laser Show," I suggested. "I wonder if Stranger Things has a holiday special," Abigail stated. "You must really love our song by Kate Bush," Sarah stated. "Good thing Steelers games are usually on Sundays, huh?" James asked. "We probably can't get tickets to a football game, but we can always play our own game of football in the backyard like we did as kids," Henri happily stated. "I feel sorry that you cannot find anything to do, Abigail," Carly stated. "At summer camp, I found a lot of activities to do." "Hannah and Samantha had ideas for the food," Abigail stated. "I do not know if this sleepover will be as good as the Star-Studded Sleepover and Camp-In. Can't we just flash forward to 2024 already when I will have awesome slumber parties?" "I would like to see the new Trolls movie featuring NSYNC again before it leaves theaters," Carly stated. "It's not that hard to find activities to do at a sleepover," Spencer stated. "Is there any kind of game that you would like to play?" Mr. Benson asked. "Yeah, there is that On a Roll game that I played on Wednesday where I was a human playing piece," Abigail stated. "That sounds like fun!" Carly stated. "Plus, Jill is considering taking a comedy and theater class at Chatham University," Abigail stated. "Don't worry, I am sure that the Science Center will find lots of fun activities for us to do." Pretty soon, it was time for all of us to leave. "Thanks for a great day, everyone!" I thanked my friends. "You're welcome, Angel," Sarah replied. "Good night, guys!" "Good night!"
