Work Text:
It was a Friday afternoon, and the music club had finished their rehearsals. They were standing or sitting on the floor, wondering what they were going to do for the weekend.
Milly: You know what, we should have a sleepover!
Hailey: Huh...that does sound fun. Tho-
Jake: Come on Hailey! Take a break for once!
Sean: Yeah Jake's right!
Milly: Speaking of Jake, we should have it at his house!
Zander: Why him?
Milly: Well...His mom is barely home, his dog and brother are cool and he's-
Sean: Milly!
Milly: Why'd you cut me off?!
Hailey: Good point. We'll all get our parents permission to go!
Milly: Yes!
___
1 hour later the doorbell rings, signaling the group has arrived.
Milo: I'll get it!
He opens the door to find all of Jake's friends in their pajamas. Their bodies shining from the early orange-gold sunset.
Sean: Oh hey Milo!
Milo: What's good!
Milo dabs him up.
Milly: Hey! You never dab me up!
Milo: Why are you guys in your pajamas?
Zander: Jake didn't tell yo- oh of course he didn't. We're having a sleepover.
Milo: A sleepover?! Without me?! JAKE!!!
Jake comes down the stairs in his pajamas.
Jake: Bro what now- Oh my- No Milo you can't join.
Milo: Why tf-
Jake: Language.
Milo: Why not?!
Jake: Because you're gonna ruin-
Milo: Gonna tell mo-
Jake: Fine!
Milo: HA!
Hailey: You're not the only one Jake, we had to bring Bethany or she was gonna tell us on our mom.
Bethany peeks from Hailey's body to see Milo.
Bethany: Bestfriend!
Milo: What's up Beth!
Milo dabs her up.
Zander: Bethany you call everyone your best friend.
Bethany: Well...he's my bestest friend!
Zander: Bestest isn't even a word-
Bethany: Shut up before I knock your teeth out.
Zander: Yeah okay.
Milly: LAST ONE TO JAKE'S ROOM HAS TO GO BY THEIR FULL NAME!!!
Zander: HEY!
Milo: I NEED TO CHANGE INTO MY PAJAMAS FIRST!!!
___
Luke: So...what should we do?
The group is huddled around Jake's floor, wondering what they should do first.
Milo: OH OH I'VE GOT SOMETHING!
Milo runs to his room to retrieve a game. A few seconds later he comes back with pack of cards.
Milo: How about Uno!!!
Bethany: Yay I love Uno!
Milly: Okay if ANY of you motherfuckers draw a skip, reverse, or draw four on me, consider yourself as one of my opps.
Zander: Motherfucker you IS my opp.
Milly: Motherfucker do you even KNOW what opp means?
Zander: Oh...no-
Milly: Exactly that's what I thought so I don't know why your expired grape juice looking ass is talking. Tf?
Hailey: Let's just play the game alright? It can't be that bad!
5 minutes later...
Hailey: WHY TF ARE Y'ALL SKIPPING ON MY ASS?! WHAT DID I DO?!?!
Sean: Oh my god bro IS YOU STUPID?!?!?!
Milo: Nah lil bro YOU THE ONE WHO STUPID.
Luke: Guys I'm actually on the edge of crashing out-
Jake: unplug yourself, shut down yourself, eliminate yourself, evaporate yourself, disappear yourself-
Bethany: i. need. a. GREEEEEEEEEEENNN!!!!!!
Milly: MAN SHUT YOUR BITCH ASS UP YOU BUILT LIKE A UNO CARD.
Zander: UNO CARD?! BITCH YOU BUILT LIKE THE WHOLE STACK.
Milly: UNO STACK?! BOY YOU BUILT LIKE THE DAMN PACK ITSELF.
Zander: You wanna know something that will never leave me? My INTELLIGENCE.
He puts down his last card.
Zander: UNO! HOW YOU LIKE THAT?!
Milly: You wanna know something that will never leave ME?
She puts down a reverse card.
Milly: My biological FATHER.
Everyone else: OH DAMN!
Zander: I'MA BEAT YOU WITH THIS FLASHLIGHT.
Milly: AND I'MA BEAT YOU WITH THIS CROC. TF IS A FLASHLIGHT GONNA DO-
The flashlight reveals a tiny but sharp knife in it
...
Milly: AHHHHHHH!!! SEAN HELP!!!
She runs out of the room with Zander behind her.
Sean: You think we should help her?
...
Everyone: Nah.
___
Zander: I only gave you like...two scratches!!
Milly: Well those "TwO ScRAtcHeS" HURTED LIKE HELL.
The two are back in the room, with Jake's dog Oreo licking Milly's wounds.
Luke: Well that was...fun.
Hailey: Yeah...you guys wanna like bake something?
Milly: Oh yeah! How about fairy bread? But we bake the bread!!
Zander: Bleh, too basic.
Milly: Oh of course! YOU'RE BRITISH.
Zander: Well the UK clearly has better food than you AUSTRALIAN ASSHOLES-
Luke: Lets just go for brownies!
Zander: Vegan brownies.
Luke gives him a soft smile.
Jake: Okay fellas!!! I'll make sure we got all of the ingredients! I also need to find Milo wherever he is.
Jake walks out to the kitchen and the gang is waiting silently, Until they hear Jake arguing with someone downstairs.
Jake: OUT OF FOOD?!
...
Jake: AND SNACKS?!?!
...
Jake: FUCK YOU MEAN BIG BACK?!
...
The yelling stops and Jake appears again, looking annoyed.
Jake: Alright change of plans put something over your pajamas since Milo's ass finished everything we're going to Target-
Milly and Zander get out their extra clothes, slide in their slides and crocs and sprint out of the room.
Milly: I CALL SHOTGUN!!!
Zander: NO I DO!!!
Milo: I'm not getting front seat, am i.
Jake: No.
Milo: Damn!
Sean: ALRIGHT I'M DRIVING AND IF YOU TWO DONT MAKE UP YOUR MINDS IN FIVE SECONDS-
Milly: You can go first!!!
Zander: Huh-
Milly: You do NOT wanna get on his bad side, trust me. He may be Sean now but when he gets mad he finna introduce you to "Shawn".
___
As the group drives to the store, Milly slides down her window and looks out the sky.
The scene was beautiful. A deep indigo evening sky with orange highlights and pale periwinkle clouds. The city's white and orange street lights sparkled and the wind blew like a soft melody. White butterflies flew past her hot pink hair. Oh how Elliot would love this sight-
Bethany: TARGET!
Milly snaps back into reality. They're finally here!
Sean: I'll wait in the car for you guys!
Milly: LAST ONE TO TARGET LIKES GIRLS!!!
Zander: AT THIS POINT SHE'S JUST AIMING AT ME!!! SHE LITERALLY KNOWS I'M GAY!!!!!!
Jake: Hmm it looks like we need- Tf is you two doing in the cart?
Milo and Bethany were in the cart playing pat a cake.
Milo: It's fun! Plus, we're like the youngest kids here!
Bethany: Clock it bestfriend!
Zander: Is it just me or Bethany's language is becoming ghetto?
Hailey: You're not the only one dude.
Jake: Just be useful and read the list.
Milo and Bethany: Fine!!!
___
The lights in Target were slightly a dimmer yellow than usual , but the club kept shopping anyway.
Hailey: Girl that's way too much you do not need all those Takis.
Milly: I'm not the only one who's getting "way too much!"
She points to Milo and Bethany filling the cart with sweet snacks and candy.
Jake: Well that's what I would call a mountain!
Luke: Okay you two, that's way too much.
Zander: And no Bethany you're getting the gluten free Oreo's.
Bethany: But they taste like ass!
Hailey: Beth- Milly did you teach her that?!
Milly: Well...maybe-
Luke: Oh dear me-
Milly: But it wasn't my fault!!!
___
After 20 minutes the gang has gathered all of the food, and the sky has turned into a pitch black with a glowing full moon with white street lights. The Target sign bright in red.
The five are pushing the cart down to the car with Milo and Bethany in the cart bathing in the food and snacks.
Milly: You two wanna have some fun?
Milo and Bethany: Yeah!
Milly: Alright then! 3 2 1 GO!
Milly pushes the cart with full force and speed and sends the group riding down the parking ally.
Everyone starts to scream, some with excitement but most in fear. Hailey loses grip of the cart handle and is about to fly off but Jake grabs her hand just in time.
They crash into the car and fall down with the cart, the groceries piling over.
Sean opens the front door to find his friends dizzy, with food all on them.
___
Sean: Why the hell did you think that was a good idea?!
Milly: But it wasn't my fault!!! I was just trying to have some fun!!!
Sean: Milly baby, you could've severely hurted yourself and the others!
Milly: It was only some bruises and scratches!!
___
The gang drives home, outside is pitch black with traffic, car, orange street, and dim yellow house, apartment, and store lights.
After they arrive home they take off their extra clothes and get straight to baking. It turns out to be messy (they blew up the oven) but the brownies are delicious!
___
As they were eating the brownies and snacks they brought on the living room floor, Milly slowly creeps up on Zander with a pillow in her hands.
Milly: PILLOW FIGHT!!!
She slams a pillow on the back of Zander's head. He slowly turns around with a emotionless look on his face.
Milly: "THat'S ThE lAsT stRaW BuDDy" ahh lo-
Before she could finish her sentence, Zander get a pillow and throws it at her face.
Milly: AY! NOW YOU'RE REALLY ASKING FOR IT HUH?! WHAT'S UP?!
Zander: YEAH. I AM.
Hailey: Should we like...get into two teams of four and-
Milo and Bethany: YEAH!!!
They start throwing pillows at the older kids and soon the living room turns into a whole dumpster fire.
___
They sit on Jake's living room under a blanket fort they made scrolling on YouTube, tired after a pillow fight. It's been 2 minutes and none of them know what to watch.
Luke: Milly, what are you doing?
Milly: Hiding from Sean!
Luke: Why?
Milly: Because he's gonna comb my hair! And it fucking hurts when he does- AHH! Oh! Hey Sean! Didn't see you there! Could you spare me just for today-
Sean: You already know what time it is.
Milly: DAMN IT!!!!!
___
Sean is combing Milly's tangled hair, and it hurts like HELL.
Milly: OW OW AY! YOU'RE HURTING MY HAIR!!!
Sean: WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVED USED A BLANKET TO SLIDE DOWN THE STAIRS SCREAMING KSI'S NEW SONG AND GET YOUR HAIR ALL TANGLED- DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO SIT STILL?!
Milly: MEHHH- AH!!!
Sean: HOW LONG HAS IS BEEN SINCE YOU BRUSHED THIS HAIR?! IT'S STALE AS BREAD.
Milly: I DON'T KNOW?! Like 2 weeks?
Sean: TWO WEEKS-...I'm getting some water.
Milly: NOOOOOO!!!!!
___
Milo: Can we play a song or something?!
Jake: We could do some karaoke!
Bethany: But what song though?
1 minute later...
Everyone: HE SAY THAT IM GOOD ENOUGH GRABBING MY DUH DUH DUH THINKIN ABOUT SHIT THAT I SHOULDN'T OF-
As the others were yelling the lyrics, Sean's legs were yelling for help.
Milly: Weee! Weee!
Sean: Milly I said I was sorry! Can I stop now-
Milly: Nuh uh. I'm getting my 7 minutes back from that hair torture. Weee!
Milly was on top of Sean's feet, pretending she was a flying bird.
Sean: Damn it Millicent.
___
After they finished the song, they let YouTube randomly play random TikTok hits.
Milly: Sean...I feel sleepy...my stomach hurts.
Sean: Are you sick?!
Milly: Maybe, I think I drank too much coffee...
Sean: Coffee?! For what?!
Milly: I made a bet with Zander that if I fall asleep first I'd read a page of my diary and if he did, he'd had to shout "I'm gay" to the entire block...I thought coffee would keep me awake longer.
Sean: Oh Milly, come here baby.
She falls asleep on Sean and he slowly cradles her. Zander quietly snickers.
Luke: Don't even.
Zander: Fine.
Jake: Damn...I feel tired.
Hailey: Don't we...all
Everyone agrees, nobody bothers to the tv off and they all slowly close their eyes as the ending of the song "Butterflies" huddles them up in a blanket as they drift off to sleep with the TV light beaming on their bodies. The full gleaming moon shining on them from a unclosed curtain.
___
The End :)
