(Sleepover at Anya's Part 2)
*March 14th, 1941*
*6:41pm*
Anya was getting ready for her sleepover with Charlotte and Nancy as she was finishing up with cleaning her room as she checked the clock that was hanging on her wall.
"They should be here any minute now, This is gonna be quite fun!" Anya said to herself with a smile on her face as she heard the sounds of the doorbell ringing which caught her attention as she quickly made her way towards the door to open it as she was greeted by her two friends.
"Good Evening my good friend, It's wonderful to see you! How is your evening going so far?" Charlotte had greeted her friend with great joy in her voice as she hugged her friend tightly before releasing herself from the hug.
"It's going good, I'm glad you and Nancy were able to come" Anya had spoken back to Charlotte with a smile on her face as she turned her direction to Nancy.
"I'm glad you were able to come. I'm sure that you will enjoy your stay and don't worry, My family is very nice and welcoming so please make yourself feel at home" Anya had spoken towards Nancy in a warm tone of voice as she allowed her friends to enter the house while they were being greeted by Anastasia and Frederick.
"Good Evening, It's a pleasure to meet you, Nancy. I've heard wonderful things about you from my daughter as well but please make yourself at home." Anastasia had spoken to Nancy with a smile on her face as she heard Nancy beginning to speak back.
"It's wonderful to meet you as well, My name is Nancy Booker! I hope to make my presence wonderful!" Nancy had spoken back to Anastasia as she smiled in which made the young mother smile back as well in which caused her to think about her appearance.
"Nancy, She looks rather familiar? I can't put my finger on it…" Anastasia had thought to herself before shaking her head in disagreement with herself before turning her direction to greet Charlotte.
"And it's wonderful to see you again as well, Charlotte and how's your family doing? I hope they're doing good as you are" Anastasia had spoken to Charlotte as well and she was met with the young girl smiling back at her before speaking once more.
"My family is doing well. Thank you so much for asking. My mother has been working at the department store although the work can get stressful, She has been doing good" Charlotte had answered back in a warm tone of voice as this was good news to Anastasia.
"That's wonderful to hear and I'll let you ladies be but If you need anything then don't be afraid to call on me, okay?" Anastasia had advised the three girls as she was met with nods of agreement as she watched the trio making their way towards Anya's room with a smile on her face.
*Anya's Room*
The girls had made themselves comfortable as Anya's room was quite lively as it had pictures of her family, Clara Bow, and other such lovely things as the room looked quite beautiful as well as Nancy looked around in awestruck.
"Your room is so wonderful! It's so lovely. I almost wish this was my room buuuut My room is MUCH better than yours" Nancy had spoken to Anya in a rather playful tone of voice as she chuckled in the process as this was followed with Anya and Charlotte doing the same thing as she continued to walk around the room until she saw a group photo of Anastasia, Kaede, and their family and friends in which sparked her interest.
"Hey, When was this photo taken? It's such a lovely photo. I had a feeling that everyone had a wonderful time" Nancy had asked Anya in a tone of curiosity as she continued to look at the photo as this caused Anya to speak.
"It's when my mother gave her friend a huge birthday party. It was truly a wonderful night for my aunts, uncles, mother, and for their friends" Anya had answered back with a smile on her face as she jumped on her bed before asking Nancy another question.
"When's your birthday? I never got a chance to ask you…" Anya had asked Nancy as she sat up and turned her direction towards her friend as she awaited her answer.
"June 27th but you don't have to celebrate my birthday if you and Charlotte don't want to. I never really cared about my birthdays honestly.." Nancy had answered back as she looked down, which was quickly noticed by Charlotte as she walked over and gently touched her hands.
"Come June, Let's make your birthday special okay? I always see birthdays as a wonderful blessing that someone is here on this beautiful planet…" Charlotte had spoken to Nancy as she looked at her with a warm smile on her face as this was being watched by Anya.
"She's right, It's always good to make your friends feel better about themselves. It's just the right thing to do but we'll make your birthday special okay? We'll throw a party like my mother did to Kaede twenty years ago.." Anya had spoken to Charlotte as well as those words made Nancy smile warmly as she began to speak.
"Thank you, My adoptive parents never really cared about my birthday but they still love me but they don't see any point in celebrating it" Nancy had spoken once more as she began to open up more to her two friends as they listened with great intent.
"Well, If they don't wanna celebrate your special day then please know that we'll always do it. You are our wonderful friend and we love you…" Charlotte had spoken to Nancy as she and she gave each other a warm hug as this was watched by Anya who had a smile on her face as the pair released each other from the hug.
"You guys better remember my birthday! June 27th! It's not hard to forget! I hope it's written down in your notebooks!" Nancy had playfully advised her two friends as laughter eventually erupted from the room as there were sounds of knocking on the door which caused Anya to respond.
"Come in…" Anya had responded back in a polite tone of voice as Anastasia entered the room as he used her fingers to form a five.
"Dinner will be ready in five minutes, okay? I'm glad that everyone is having a wonderful time tonight so please be safe as well" Anastasia had spoken to her daughter, Nancy, and Charlotte.
"Thank you so much for having us here and we'll take your wonderful advice as well" Nancy had spoken back to Anastasia as her words were followed with Anya and Charlotte nodding their heads in agreement.
"That's wonderful to hear, It makes me glad but I'll leave you ladies to yourself but be sure to get ready for dinner.." Anastasia had spoken back to Nancy and the others as she closed the door gently.
"Hey, You guys wanna tell scary stories after dinner? I'll be sure to scare everyone extra good!" Anya had asked her friends as she made ghost sounds at the end of her sentence as she was met with Charlotte and Nancy nodding their heads in agreement.
"That would be wonderful! I always get scared but I can manage since I have my best friends with me" Charlotte had spoken in agreement as she and her friends shared a warm laughter together as this was watched by Nancy.
"Anya. her family, and Charlotte are truly wonderful people…" Nancy had thought to herself with a warm smile on her face as she and her friends continued to have a wonderful time throughout the night.
