Spencer: “Best friends forever.” she smiled, looking at our hands.

Ashley: “Forever.” we stayed on the roof for a while, just gazing at the stars, pointing out a few constellations. We tiptoed back into my room. Spencer turned on my lamp.

Spencer: “OH MY GOD ASHLEY GET IT OFF!!!!” she screamed, flailing around.

Ashley: “What?! What?!” I said trying to be quiet.

Spencer: “GET IT OFF ME!!!” she says flinging her arm. I rush to her and cover her mouth. She’s shaking her arm and pointing to it. I look at her sleeve covered arm and it’s a…a little green caterpillar. She’s still screaming, although its muffled by my hand. I scoop the little guy off with my free hand.

Ashley: “Spencer calm down.” I whisper. I remove my hand from her mouth. She’s breathing hard. “It was just a caterpillar. See.” I say holding it in her face.

Spencer: “Uhh, get it away.” she says shakily while backing away. “Too many legs.” she shudders. I laugh and sit it outside my window. There’s a knock at my door, then Auntie Paula walks in.

Paula: “What’s going on in here?” she says groggily. Spencer looks at me.

Ashley: “Uh…we…she uh….” I look at Spencer’s feet. “she stomped her toe.” I say pointing to her foot. Paula looks at Spencer.

Spencer: “Ow! It hurts really bad.” she says while grabbing her foot.

Paula: “Well, let me see.” she says walking closer to Spencer.

Spencer: “But it feels better now!” she says quickly. “See.” she says walking around. Aunt Paula looks at us skeptically.

Paula: “Go to bed you two.” she says before closing the door behind her. Spencer lays down. I look at her and laugh.

Spencer: “What?” she whines, getting under the covers.

Ashley: “Ow? It hurts really bad!” I say grabbing my foot and imitating her and laughing.

Spencer: “Whatever!” she says throwing a pillow at my head.

Ashley: “Hey!” I hop onto my bed and tickle her.

Spencer: “ *laughs* Ashley *laughs* stop….” my door flies open and I immediately stop as if I was doing something guilty. But this time, it’s my mom.

Christine: “Eyes, shut! Sleep now!” we nod. She closes the door. I roll over and drape my arm over Spencer’s waist, she does the same to me. We just stare at each other contently as we fall asleep.
