“I’m guessing the Halloween party. We have been discussing costumes and food.”
“Alec said she wants them to go a disco ball and a 70s person.” I looked at her to gage her reaction.
Penny tossed her head back and laughed. “I loved that idea. It was by far one of the better ones she tossed out there.”
“What else did she want?” I asked.
“Either she was going to be the volleyball from Castaway and make him Tom Hanks or be Juno.”
“Those are horrible ideas.” Shaking my head, we walked back to the livingroom and sat down.
“There was some more sexual ones but we all decided to go as something funny.” Penny had made the recliners hers. There was pillows lining it all the edges. Cups and snacks were piled neatly on the end table and her computer was within arms reach.
“The Moon Goddess was funny?” I asked turning on the T.V.
“Better than the gumball machine she wanted me to be.” Penny pulled up a blanket as Friends started playing. By the time I looked over at the next commercial, she was passed out.
Wanting to be helpful, I got up and picked up the livingroom, did the dishes and got the laundry rotated. There was some cleaning stuff out so I went ahead and cleaned the bathrooms. I had just finished folding the blankets when the doorbell rang.
“What?” Penny shot up, looking confused.
“Looks like Alec and Ice are here.” I tried to hide my laughter as I opened the door.
“Hey!” Ice smiled as she came in. Alec was holding a few different bags and took them straight to the kitchen.
“Oh no! I was going to do some cleaning before you got here.” Penny frowned.
“Already did it.” I said as I went into the kitchen with Alec.
“You can come do my house next.” Ice laughed as the girls came in.
“The builders have finished putting in all the cabinets and shit. Our hour is a giant dust collection.” Alec was pulling the food out. He placed two salads in front of the girls and him and I each got a steak.
“I can’t wait to see it!” Penny looked excited. “I’m surprised you managed to do it all by yourself. Usually, I have to do it all for you.”
“Hey!” Ice faked looking hurt. I was mid way into a beer and choked on it. Beer came out my nose, making my eyes water.
“She isn’t wrong.” I laughed as I cleaned my face.
“If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have even made it to fifteen years old.” Penny opened her salad and took a bite.
“Send your ass back to the orphanage.” Ice grumbled. “I did some stuff!”
“You did. You gave me all the information and I organized, created a plan and submitted it. Then I did the followup checks and daily set ups.” Penny looked at Ice like she dared her to argue.
“Whatever. I was running my own shop.”
“Speaking of which, I am going to need a tattoo once our babies are born.” I said to her.
