"Okay, what movie are we watching first you idiots?" Will yelled as he flopped down on the couch and the rest of us were in the kitchen. We automatically laughed at Will's comment.

"Uhm, let's see." Naomi said as she walked into the living room and grabbed the TV remote and went through the movie genres on Netflix.

"I know, a scary movie!" She quickly exclaimed.

"Oh, sign me up!" Will sassed.

"Make that two!" I shouted from the kitchen.

We were all waiting for Nasim which if I guessed correctly she wasn't too fond of scary movies.

"I forgot you hated them, we can watch another m-" Naomi said as she realized but Nasim quickly interrupted her. "Hell no, we're watching a scary movie tonight! I'm on." She said and we all cheered.

As Naomi and Will tried to decide which movie in particular we were going to watch, Nasim and I made the popcorn.

When it was done, we served them into two big bowls and we brough them over the couch with drinks as well.

"We picked to watch The Silence because it said it was the scariest one yet." Naomi said as we all sat down on the big comfy couch.

"Alright, I'm ready!" I pressed my hands and rubbed them together.

"Naomi, you better hope Netflix is right about this movie being the scariest." Will jokes and we laugh.

We all get into our comfy positions. I sit up on the couch while Naomi lays her head on my chest as we're wrapped up by a big fluffy blanket.

Will and Nasim both had their separate blanket and pillows. "We ready?" He asked and we all nodded. So, Will pressed play.

"Yo, N, remember when I told you that you'd better hope Netflix was right about this movie being the scariest?" Will asked and Naomi laughed, "Yeah?"

"Well, they were damn right!" He said with a shaky voice.

"Please, Wills, you're just a scaredy cat." I scoffed and he gasped dramatically.

"Okay, little dude, may I remind you t-"

"Alright, you two five year olds." Nasim stopped us from having the most funny and stupid argument ever.

"But I was ready t-to roast him!" Will whined and I laughed hard.

"Aw, don't worry Wills. Maybe next time." I said.

Naomi stood up and clapped her hands together. "Okay, what's next? Beside watching Mena and Will bicker all night long?" Will and I both laughed at what Naomi said because it was true.

"I know, I know. One word. Charades." Nasim said.

"Ooh! I agree!" I quickly said.

"Let's do it!" Naomi said and she and Nasim both left to find some paper and pencils.

When they got back, we started playing. Nasim played against Will while I played against Naomi until we all switched.

Naomi started drawing on the piece of paper. "Here we go." I said. "Oh, nothing yet." I said and she laughed.

She kept drawing and I had zero idea what she was doing. "Uhm, a pop can that exploded." I answered and she laughed, "No!"

"Oh, wait is that like a Disney princess?" I asked and her eyes lit up. "Yes!"

"I know what it is, she's jumping onto the castle and she had really long hair?" I asked and she nodded as she kept drawing. For some reason, I couldn't pinpoint the name but I sure as hell knew what she was drawing.

"See, this is me. This is on me, I can't remember this." I mumbled quickly.

"Who was really long hair..." Naomi said.

"No, I know, I know...Uhh, Rebunzel?" Came out of my mouth and Naomi was quick to laugh so hard.

"Is that what it is? What is it?!" I chuckled.

"Rebunzel! Rebunzel!" She kept repeating in between laughs.

"You always make fun of me!" I protested and then she said "Rebunzel!" with the funniest Egyptian accent I've ever heard, making me laugh so hard.

"What is it, though?" I asked her as our laughter calmed down.

"Rapunzel!" She said.

"Well, it is!"

"But not Rebunzel!"

"B-but, I-, what? I switched the P with a B, that's-that's an Egyptian thing to do! We always say the bolice car instead of the police car. I grew up in an egyptian household!" I said and she laughed even harder by everything I said.

And not even to mention Will and Nasim, they were cracking even harder than we were. "Yo, Mena!" Will said and I turned to him.

"Remember when I made those hem nom whom hem sem hem mis shirts? Well consider the Rebunzel shirts as well for your birthday!" He said, making us all laugh.
