"Where's everyone else?" asked Stacey.
"Well, they're coming in tomorrow. They stayed home for two days cause they were a little sick." Taylor said.
"Oh." Stacey said.
"Yeah. Mac was just getting over the flu. Everybody else just had a cough." Zac said.
"Ohhhhh!" Susie said in sympathy to Mac.
"Where are you guys staying?" Stacey asked.
"Marriott again!" Zac answered.
"Cool!" Susie said. She and Zac were flirting! Stacey could tell because they were always smiling at eachother and whenever Susie flirted, she played with her hair.
They were all still in Stacey's room. Susie and Zac were sitting on
the floor, Ike was sitting on Stacey's desk chair, and Stacey and
Taylor were sitting on Stacey's bed. Zac was throwing jokes at everyone and they were all laughing so hard
their stomachs hurt.
"Zac! How do you get all those jokes?" Susie said still laughing from the last one.
"I don1t know! They just come up in my brain!" Zac said.
"How long are you guys staying?" Stacey asked.
"I don't know!" Zac said.
"Gosh Zac!" Taylor said. "Can't you ever let someone else answer a question?"
"If you want to you have to be fast!" Zac said challenging his brother.
"Come here!" Taylor lurched to Zac and they started wrestling!
"Go join in Ike!" Susie said. Ike jumped in. And in less than a minute, Taylor was pined by Zac and Ike.
"That wasn't fair," he said. "Two against one!"
"Zac let's strech him!" Ike said.
"Yeah!" said Zac.
"No! Not the-AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!" Ike pulled Taylor's legs and Zac pulled Taylor's hands.
"Hey!" Stacey said. "That's not fair!"
"Well fine!" Ike reached up and pulled Stacey down. "Zac just get one of Stacey's hands and one of Tay's."
"Stacey looked over at Tay and said, "Um...Does this really hurt?"
"Well-DUH!" Taylor said.
"Oh great!" Stacey said.
"Okay," Ike said. "one, two, three!"
"AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!" Stacey and Taylor yelped.
"Okay! Let the prisoners go." Susie said.
"Oww!" Stacey said. "Well at least it got that creeck out of my back!"
"Yeah. That's what I said when they first did this to me. But now it gives me creecks in my back!"
"What's goin' on in here?" Ruth said.
"Oh. Hey Mrs. Marties!" Zac said. "We just were streching Stacey and Tay."
"Okay, just checking. But Stacey I gotta go to the library to return some things so I'll be back in about an hour."
"Yeah. Don't worry! The pain will come out of my arm pretty soon!"
Stacey said.
"Okay!" Ruth said.
After Ruth drove away, Stacey said, "Ohhhhhh! I'm getting that creeck back!"
"We'll strech you again!" Zac said.
"NO! That's okay!" Stacey said.
"What do you guys want to do?" Susie said.
"I don't know." Zac said.
"Let's go watch TV then." Stacey said limping to the living room.
BING! went Zac's head. "Hey Stacey! Susie. Are you doing anything on Tuesday night?"
"Kind of." Stacey said. "I have volleyball, then Susie and I are
going to go to this skateboarding and rollerblading thing."
"That's where we were gonna go too!" Zac said. "Not the volleyball though."
"When did you start going to volleyball?" Taylor asked.
"I've been going ever since we met you guys! You didn't know?"
"No." Taylor said. "Maybe we could watch."
"Yeah, that's what Susie's gonna do."
"Yeah, how about if we take you guys to volleyball watch then
we'll go to GX Jam then we'll eat somewhere then go home?" Zac said.
"That's sounds good." Stacey said.
"When does volleyball start?" Ike asked.
"4:30." Stacey said.
"Sure. I can take you guys."
"If we ask my mom first! But I'm sure it's okay." Stacey
smiled.
