Fly Like A Hawk

Chapter 140 - Slumber Party!

I arrived at Devon's with Johnny and helped him to carry several sleeping bags down into the house.

Devon showed us to the basement where she'd set up some pink decorations.

"I've never had a sleepover before." she admitted, holding her hands behind her back and rocking on her heels.

"We can work with this." Johnny mused as I piled my sleeping bags onto the others.

"So what exactly are we doing here?" I asked, as I looked around the room.

"We're gonna create conflict between Sam and Tory so that they get their fight back." Johnny explained as if I should already know this.

"Right, and why can't we do that a non-conflicty way?"

"Because that'll never work. Trust me I know what I'm doing." Johnny mumbled as he adjusted the snacks Devon had laid out on the table.

A knock sounded at the door and moments later Sam and Tory trampled down the stairs.

"Welcome to Miyagi-Do After Dark." Johnny announced, gesturing around himself to the decorations.

"I don't think you should call it that." Sam stated, clutching her bag a little tighter.

"Miyagi-Do Nights?"

"Nooo..." Sam muttered.

"Dark Knights...." Johnny tried again and I frowned at him.

"Wait, is this a slumber party?" Tory asked as she came down the last few steps.

Devon rushed in from the other room with a box of nail things: polish, files, brushes. She clutched it proudly as she held it out in front of her.

"I've never had one before." She repeated, grinning enthusiastically, "I didn't know what colour nail polish you guys like, so I just got all of them."

I figured since you two are friends now, we can have a girls night." Johnny explained.

"With you?" Tory questioned. Both her and Sam looked completely out of place and confused.

"Hell yeah. I'm a girl dad now." He held out his hands as if he'd magically transformed into a pink sparkly fairy at the mention of being a girl dad, "I brought cookies and tampons and everything. Alright, come on inside, grab a sleeping bag."

I took the opportunity to gesture to the selection of sleeping bags that I'd stacked in the corner.

"The Mr T ones mine." Johnny added as Sam and Tory awkwardly went over to look at the sleeping bag options.

"Nice try." I said to Johnny as I headed over to pick my own sleeping bag.

"Who's ready to have some fun!" Johnny cheered as I smoothed the peel off face mask he'd given me down onto my face. It was cool and relaxing and honestly a good decision on his behalf.

He passed out some cucumber circles and I stared at them blankly.

"For your eyes." He explained, "Like the fancy shit they give you at spas."

"Gotta love the fancy shit." I chimed back, placing the cucumber slices on my eyes as I lay back on my sleeping bag.

Beside me Sam chuckled.

I stalked around a corner as Devon twisted in all directions, she held her pillow high above her head.

"Come out, come out wherever you are!" she called and I jumped out from the couch and hit her with the pillow. She turned back and managed to knock me back hard with hers.
