"Finally. The tour is over and I can relax, visit with friends, and spend time with my girlfriend." Brian said. "Brian you are so sweet. Hey. I have an idea. Let's invite everyone over and have a pool party." "Great idea! I'll call everyone and you make the food." "Alright. It's a good thing we got more lawn chairs. Remember the time we went swimming and you asked me to be your girlfriend and gave me the ring. I still have it on and we fell asleep in each others arms." "Yeah and remember the time you twisted your ankle and I brought you a dozen roses. That's when I moved in and AJ got my place." "Yeah. Go call them now or we'll never get finished.
Brian went into the living room and called everybody. Stephanie and AJ arrived first. They were talking a while in the backyard by the pool when Katie, Katelyn, Howie, and Kevin arrived.
"Howie, where's Nick?" Stephanie asked. "He said he couldn't come." "Why couldn't he come?" "He didn't say why he couldn't come."
A look of worry came across Stephanie's face.
"Hun,what's the matter?" AJ asked her. "Nothing." Stephanie said. "We're wasting time. Let's go swimming." Amanda said.
Amanda jumped in. Everyone followed.
"I'm going to go dry off and then I'm going to go make dinner." Amanda said. "Okay." everybody said.
*During dinner*
'Ring, ring.' went the telephone.
"I'll get it." Brian said. "Hello?" "Is Amanda there? Tell her it's Sarah." "Um. Yeah. Hold on." "Ok." "Amanda! Sarah's on the phone."
Amanda got up and took the phone from Brian.
"Sarah?!" "Yeah. It's me." "How's Paris?" "Great. Guess what?!" "What?" "I'm coming home tomorrow." "Really?!" "Yeah. I was wondering if you'd pick me up at the airport?" "Sure. What time should I pick you up?" "About noon. Who was that guy that picked up the phone?" "That was my boyfriend Brian. See ya tomorrow." "C-ya."
Amanda went back to the table and sat down.
"Amanda, who's Sarah?" Brian asked. "Brian, don't be a worry wart. She's only my sister. She's coming home tomorrow so she called to see if I would pick her up." Amanda said. "Cool. Can I come too?" "I don't..." "Me too?" Howie asked. "Me too?" AJ asked. "Me too?" Kevin asked. "Me too?" Katie asked. "Me six." Stephanie said.
AJ looked at her and smiled and she smiled also proud that she knew what was going on.
"Guys, you can all come. I told her I was just coming. She won't mind if all of you came, I think." Amanda said. "Let's finish dinner. I'm still hungry." Howie said. "Howie, your always hungry." Brian said. "Well, excuse me."
