Sleepover Continued (AHW)

The Best Sleepover Ever (AHW)

 "I think it was 30425," I said to my Aunt Jen. "I think you're right," she replied. We were driving to Ellie's house (earlier that day, she called and invited me over.) We had almost the whole family in the car. Me, Michael, Benjamin, and Aunt Jeni. When Ellie called I was really excited and once Aunt Jen got home from work, I begged to go and she said"Yes."! As we turned into Ellie's driveway, I was nervous 'cause I wasn't positive I was remembering the right address. But then, I saw Fletcher, the families dog, and knew it was the right house. Michael stayed in the car with Ben as we walked up to the front door of the house.
        I stepped inside the warm, cozy house and immediately noticed someone I knew was not part of the Deighan family. She looked 11 or 12. Must be one of Hannah's friends I thought to myself. The whole family was standing at the front door when we got there... except for Lauren. I wasn't sure where she was. Probably at a friend's house. Ellie was SUPER excited. I mean, she was literally bouncing off the walls. She was laughing and jumping around. Hannah was holding Fletcher in her arms. A cute, soft Golden-Doodle. Mrs. and Mr. Deighan stood behind the kids and welcomed us, smiling almost as much as Ellie and Hannah. I was absolutely positive that it would be the best sleepover ever.
        For dinner we ate broccoli, gnocchi with marinara sauce, and garlic bread. With milk of course. Delicious.
        Then, Ellie shared a piece of her Halloween candy with me. A York Peppermint Patty. Then, Mr. Deighan suggested, "Why don't you girls go night jumping."
        "Oh yeah, we have trampoline in the backyard," Ellie told me.
        "Cool, let's  go!" I said excitedly. We got our jackets on and our shes and walked outside.
        Not before Mr. Deighan said "Put your coat on, Alex. It's cold out there."
        "All right."
        We went outside and across the back lawn to the trampoline, climbed up the small ladder and onto the black, flexible surface of the trampoline. We had so much fun. Slipping on dry leaves and just randomly falling down repetitively for no apparent reason. "The last time I was on a trampoline was three years ago during the summer." I said. But I'm sure glad that I am back on the awesome, bouncy contraption once more.
        "Two more minutes, girls!" called Mr. Deighan from the back door.
        "What?!" Ellie and I asked in unison.
        "Two minutes!" he repeated.
        "OK!" we said, again at the same time.
        Two minutes later, we came inside and were, once again warm.
        At some point during the sleepover, we played school with Hannah an Emma (The girl I didn't recognize at the front door) I'm not sure if that was before or after dinner. Then, we each made haunted houses for each other. Ellie and I made a haunted house for Emma and Hannah after they made one for us. (By the way, those both took place in the basement.)Ours was a complete failure while theirs was actually pretty cool and scared me and Ellie both. Ellie's and mine, though actually turned into a pitch black wrestling match with me, in a Winnie the Pooh costume taking off people's socks and Ellie jumping on Emma and pinning her to the ground.
        It turns out that the trampoline part was before dinner and the haunted house and school was after.
        Then we watched a movie based on Gaby Douglas's life but I don't know the name of it because Hannah and Emma already started it when we got to the basement.
        "C'mon! We need to get to Netflix befor they do!" exclaimed Ellie. But we took toolong picking the movie and when we clicked play, it said: Too many users are on account at one time. Please try again later. Or something like that so we layed out a bunch of blankets and rolled up in them and slid down the basement stairs. But not before we had a plan that I knew was gonna fail but I tried anyway. First, We layed out the blankets so they were not folded over or anything and Elli curled up in a ball and I wrapped her up. She asked her mom for "assistance" and if her mom was strong but she didn't agree to pick Ellie up and walk her down the stairs in the blankets. Oh well. So we curled up in the blankets and attempted to walk but slid down the stairs to the basement.
        The movie had already started and we sat down in front of the basement TV but Hannah said "Go away!" and Ellie said "Mom said we could be down here if we didn't bother you" and apparently we bothered them the whole time because all throughout the movie, Hannah kept bringing up that "mom said you can't bother us or else you have to leave!"
