Chapter 35
"Ice cream's done!" I heard Sunny call. "WALK in a single file, straight line to the kitchen."
'It's like she knows us!' I thought as we walked to the kitchen.
"Okay, Pumpkin pie ice cream or the Chocolate ice cream?" Sunny asked. "One at a time."
"Pumpkin please." Paul, Sean, Dominic, Joseph, Samuel, Leslie, Sarah, Alisabeth, Felicity, Meagan and Sharon said.
"Chocolate please." Zara, the dancers, Jessica, Janey, Josh, Sebi, Jesse, Hazel, Elizabeth, CC, Damo, Neil, George, Emmet, Ryan and I said.
"Here y'all go." Sunny said, placing large bowls of ice cream in front of us. "You may sit in here or in the living room as long as you don't spill it."
"You sound like mum!" I heard more than one voice exclaim.
"I know I do, but I do NOT want the carpet to have stains in it if I am going to sell the house."
"Ye know love, ye wouldn't have to sell the house since it's in Virginia. It's close enough to Ireland that if ye need a break ye can just come here." I said.
"Really Keith? I was planing on getting me own house in Ireland, hopefully by the beach, so I could surf." She said.
"Keith don't get her started on surfing, she'll talk your ear off!" Sean said.
"Will not, Fuzzy!" Sunny exclaimed.
"Fuzzy!?" Everybody said laughing.
"No!" Sean moaned. "Why did you use that nickname Sun?? Why?!?"
"How did he get that nickname!?" Damo asked, while trying to breathe.
"Well, it all started with his ex-girlfriend Sasha--" Sunny started, when Sean cut her off.
"Mistress of Revels*, I believe you should stop humiliating me or I will tell them exactly which books and characters you have them pegged as." He said, emphasizing the word 'exactly'.
"I prefer 'Teller of Tales*' or 'Writer of Words*', Sean, and you know that. 'Wordsmith*' also works well." Sunny said.
"I call Peaseblossom!*" Leslie said.
"I'm Moth*!" Dominic said.
"Mustardseed* here!" Joe called.
"I'm Cobweb*!" Sam yelled.
"I'm Mrs. Edith*!" Alisabeth said.
"Bertie, the Mistress of Revels, Teller of Tales and Writer of Words.*" Sunny said.
"No way! I'm not gonna be Nate* or Ariel*!" Sean said.
"You can be Waschbar*, Mr. Tibbs*, Mr. Hastings*, The Theater Manager*, The Stage Manager* or Hamlet*." Sunny offered.
"Okay, wait a minute, what are ye talking about?!" The rest of us, except her family and friends asked.
"Our favorite books!" They shouted. "Lisa Mantchev* is a genius!!"
"Okay......" We replied.
"Sunny, can we sing that one in which we will be very brave with our feelings to tell them something?" Meagan and Elizabeth asked her.
"What?" Everybody else asked.
"Sure, I'm not sure what they will think, but give it a try!" She answered.
"Damian and Emmet, Meagan and I are singing this for you." Elizabeth said, nervous.
"Okay, lets start. Sunny, music please?" Meagan asked, also nervous.
"Got it." Sunny said.
They started singing.
Artist: Katie Armiger
Song: Kiss Me Now
Album: Confessions of a Nice Girl
Put on my high heels,
My little red dress,
And sugar cookie perfume.
And i don't care if you know I'm trying,
It's time that you got a clue.
You say you wish that you could find a girl like me.
It's funny, how obvious can one girl be.
Yeah it might feel a little bit funny at first,
But I promise we can figure it out.
Let me show you tonight that it's time we stop messing around.
Kiss me now, kiss me now.
I see you're smiling, I catch you staring,
More than a friend would do.
I'm dropping hints like, like it's my job, right.
Why, why you keep playing it cool.
Did you really call me over just so we could hang out?
Boy this little game you're playing is really freaking me out.
Yeah it might feel a little bit funny at first,
But I promise we can figure it out.
Let me show you tonight that it's time we stop messing around.
Kiss me now, kiss me now.
I know, I know, I get it.
Your the gentleman type.
But lean a little closer, let me change your mind.
Yeah it might feel a little bit funny at first,
But I promise we can figure it out.
Let me show you tonight that it's time we stop messing around.
Yeah it might feel a bit little funny at first,
But I promise we can figure it out.
Let me show you tonight that it's time we stop messing around.
Kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me now.

Do you think Elizabeth and Meagan were doing the right thing by admitting their feelings?
Do you think there should be a mini play?
;D
