PARTY!

One day a girl named Alla decided to have a birthdayparty for her friend, Lila. Lila had many, manybrothers at home, so it would be difficult for her tohave a 'girl' party at her house. So, Alla generouslyoffered to host the chick party at her house, to giveLila a 'girl' day. That's when a strange thing happened. It was, perhaps,strange enough that Alla was having Lila's birthdayparty. But now two of Lila's brothers, one slightlyolder, Baddy, and one younger, Jabby, decided theywanted to come to this party. Well, Baddy wanted to,and Jabby was talked into it by their other friend,Jasper. Jasper was the brother of another partyattendee, Amper. Amper and Lila decided having theguys over would be fun, and they convinced an uneasyAlla to invite them officially. Whether they wouldcome or not was up to them. It was clear to Alla thather all-girl party plan was not going to happen. So,after getting over the first-time weirdness, she toldher parents about it. They were cool with it, whichsurprised her. The plan was to make a movie, eat somecake and play some games if they all wanted to. Atlast, the day came for the party.Alla met up with Breezy, Joyous, Amper, Lila, Baddy,Jasper and Jabby at Breezy's house. From there theywent to Alla's house. Alla gave them all the tour ofher home, feeling a little weird showing a bunch ofguys her room. But her director/actress mode poppedin, and she ordered everyone to start preparing forthe movie. She applied makeup, set up sets, and letthe guys read her screenplay. She told themsuggestions were encouraged, critisms were forbidden.At last she was able to start shooting scenes, and shesettled into the task of not ticking anyone off whiletelling them to stop laughing. Everyone was excellentat acting, though there were some giggles. Alla justignored these and kept filming. The final scene camewith rapid-fire shots required. This was difficult, asanyone who touched the camera other than Alla tendedto screw it up. Her sister, Aby, came to the rescueand took over the camera. Alla was now free to do whatshe loved the most, act. And there were times when Abydidn't cut that the dialogue just kept flowing. Jasperand Alla liked to match wits with one another, notfighting or flirting, just a little wickedly funnybanter. She also managed to crack up Baddy, but thatwas easy. Jabby she just let talk- he could alwaysmanage to insult himself. Breezy was always flirtingwith Jasper- this drove Lila nuts for some reason. So,as a gift to Lila, Alla made Breezy Jasper's wife inthe movie. This meant Breezy remained a slight shadeof pink the entire time. Amper and Joyous, the sistersof Jasper, were amused by this as well. They playedtheir parts unenthusiastically, but Lila and Alla madeup for them by being crazy and loud throughout. Theend result was 2 hours of work for a 10-minute clip.But Alla felt proud. This was her finest work yet, andshe looked forward to more guy-girl movies in thesummer. They cleaned up and ate some Pizza Hut pizza. Then outcame her rounded double-layer ice cream bombe cake,with a nutter-butter crust and reese's hard shelltopping over it. The guys went crazy, then after they all had a piece the girls went crazy- sugar affects usdifferently, Alla realized. Then Lila opened her giftsand the girls oohed and ahhed while the guys ate morecake. They played some games and Alla struck up a nice 'whatto do at camp' conversation. Baddy, Jabby and Liladecided Alla should go undercover and pretend to betheir sister for the week. It was agreed. Alla alreadyfelt like family to everyone there, even though shewasn't related to any of them. Looking around her fulltable, she realized this was her youth group- theywere all sitting at her kitchen table, way too hyper.That would've never been happening a year ago. Thesewere realitivly new friends, yet she felt very closeto them. Maybe trying new things wasn't so bad after all.
