Natasha rings the door bell to Jaida's house and Ms. Henning open the door.
"Natasha, you're here. Come on in you two." Ms. Henning opened the door wide to let them in.
"Lydia you go in first. I would love to stay but I can't. We've got something going on that I need to help with."
"Lydia, Jaida is in the kitchen. Why don't you go meet her first and get a snack?"
"Okay, thanks Ms. Henning. Bye Tasha." She waved at Natasha before going in the house and straight to the kitchen.
"What is so important you can't even have a drink before you leave?"
Natasha whispered as quietly as possible. "Lydia's birthday."
Realizing what she meant Ms. Henning smiled. "If you need help with anything be sure to let me know. You have my number right?"
"I do. You'll be the first to know if we need help. Thanks Ashleigh."
"Alright go have fun planning her birthday. I'll take care of her."
"I know you will. If you ever need a babysitter don't forget to text me. If I can't I can see if Jordan will."
"Thanks, I'll make sure your the first to know."
"Jordan's picking Lydia up around 1 tomorrow."
"Okay great. That sounds good. I'll make sure she's ready by the time he comes over."
"Thanks again. For taking her on short notice."
"Natasha its okay. I'm happy I mean we've known each other how long? You still act so courteous towards me. Stop."
"You're right. We've known each other since high school. Even though it feels like forever ago it's been only like 7 years."
"Even if it's not forever, its still a very long time."
"That's true." Natasha checks the time. "Oh shoot. I have to go. Bye Ash."
"See you later Tash." Natasha leaves and Ashleigh goes inside to the girls making a stack of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
"Are you girls going to eat all that?"
"We are also making some for later so if we get hungry but don't feel like making more food later we can still eat." Jaida explains.
"Smooth move. What do you two want for dinner? Let me know soon so I can make sure we have enough stuff to make it."
"Can we have grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup?" Lydia asks politely.
"Yeah can we? It's our favourite!" Jaida agrees.
"I thought you might say that. You ask for it every time." Ashleigh laughs, "but yes I can make it tonight."
"YAY!" Both girls yell at the same time.
"Do you want to watch a movie with us mom?"
"What movie is it?" Jaida holds up the case to one of her favourite movies.
"I love that movie!" Lydia nearly screamed. "Jordan learned to dance because of this movie!"
"Jordan taught himself to dance with a movie?" Jaida asks astounded by the facts she was presented with and Lydia simply nodded.
"Sure, I'll watch it with you. Do you guys want snacks for the movie?"
"I can get them don't worry mom. You put on the movie I will grab the snacks."
"I disagree. Ms. Henning you go sit down. Relax. I'll put the movie on while Jaida gets the snacks."
"Okay, since you girls are so keen on doing it I'll go sit down first." Lydia and Ashleigh go to the living room while Jaida stays in the kitchen to get the snacks.
