"Where are you girls going?" Lynn asked a week later. Meg and Jess had got permission to spend some more time down in Florida because they hadn’t been able to spend enough time with Tabitha.
"We’re going out. It’s girls night! The guys are having a guys night and so we decided to do the same thing. Is that OK Mom?" Tabitha asked sweetly. Lynn laughed at her daughter.
"Yes, just stay out of trouble and stop by Brian’s before you leave. I have no idea why, but they want you to all go over there before they go and do their thing."
"OK. I guess I’ll see you later."
"Bye, and be careful. There are a lot of weird people out there." They wouldn’t find out until later how right she was.

"Your my honey bunch, sugerplum, puuuuuuuumpkin, your my sweety pie……" Nick sang as he went to answer the door. "Your my cuppy cake, gumdrop, schnookumns, schnookumns, schnookumns, the apple of my eye." He finished the last line just as he opened the door.
"Hey, what are you girls doing here?" Nick said as he answered the door when they got to Brian’s.
"Nice to see you to Nick!" Tabitha walked right by him and the other two girls followed. "We were told that someone requested that we come over before wee go find some guys." Nick gave her a hurt look. "I’m kidding Nick!"
The other two laughed. "You better be kidding." Brian’s voice said as he came into the room with the other guys close behind. They were all looking pretty sharp.
"And what are the five of you planning on doing?" Megan said walking over to him and giving him a look.
"Um……..well…….ah………" He stuttered.
"Yeah that’s what I thought."
"Well, anyway the reason that we wanted you to come over before you left is that we were wondering if you would mind Amanda tagging along?"
"No, not at all. That’s fine with us." Jess said, looking at the other two girls. They gave her looks of agreement.
"Well, I guess it’s all set. I’ll call her and tell her your picking her up and then we gotta go!" AJ said picking up the phone.
"Why are you in such a big hurry to get rid of us?" Jess asked walking over to Kevin.
"No reason. We just want to make sure that all the good girls aren’t taken by the time that we get to the club." Nick said. Stupid him though, he said it while standing within an arms length of Tabitha. She elbowed him in the gut.
"OK, it’s all set. She’ll be ready by the time you get there." AJ announced as he got off the phone.
"OK, bye guys. We’ll see you lata." Megan said giving Brian another look and the others a smile. They were off.
*******************************************
"So, where are we going?" Amanda asked when they had picked her up.
"Well, we were thinking of going to the Fun House again. That was a blast." Tabitha informed her new friend.
"Sounds good. The guys probably wont be there so we will have to wait in line."
"That’s OK. It’s worth it."
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Amanda laughed.
A few minutes later they got to the club and got in line. It wasn’t incredibly long, so they only had to wait a few minutes to get in.
They all found a table and then went out looking for guys to dance with. It wasn't really a problem. They had a lot of fun, but they all secretly wished that the guys were there. No one was going to admit that though. So they all kept finding guys to dance with and having a good time.
When they were all tired and couldnt dance anymore, they decided that they were going to leave.
They walked out into the Orlando air and out to the car. They got in and started driving. Tabitha dropped Amanda off at her apartment , and Jess and Meg decided that they wanted to go out of ice cream. So Tabitha drove to the nearest 31 Flavors.
The three girls got out of the car and walked into the ice cream shop. They each ordered what they wanted and sat down. They couldn't see the car, nut the weren't really worried about that. They were talking about what a good time they had. even with out the guys to liven things up.
When Meg and Jess were done with their ice cream they all left. Tabitha was taking a really long time to eat, almost as if she didn't want to go back to the car. It was almost as if she knew what was going to happen next.
