Ch. 8 Sleeping over

The five teens left the arcade and walked toward Sour Cream's car. Sour Cream sat on the driver's seat. Diana sat beside him in the front passenger seat. Ronaldo sat on the left back passenger seat, Jenny sat in the middle, and Bucky sat on the right rear passenger seat. 

Sour Cream turns on the car and drives away, putting the volume up and music playing from the radio. 

Diana closed her eyes, listening to the music play. The wind causes her wavy pale pink hair to sway left and right. She sighed, feeling much better than before, thanks to hanging out with her friends. 

Sour Cream and Diana dropped Ronaldo, Jenny, and Bucky off at their houses. On the way to Sour Cream's place, Diana texted Amethyst, letting her know she would spend the night at her friend's place, and asked if she could drop her school backpack in the morning. 

" Sure! Tell Vidalia I say hey," Diana read Amethyst's response. 

" So, My Aunt, Amethyst, is cool with me spending the night at your place," She looks at Sour Cream. 

" Cool. Cool," Sour Cream nodded. 

" I know it's a school night. But Mom loves you and wouldn't mind you spending the night at our place. Of course, you'll take my room while I sleep in the living room. Standard protocol, Mom's words, not mine," He glanced at Diana. 

Diana nodded in response. 

Several minutes later, the two teens arrived at Sour Cream's place. Sour Cream parks the car on the driveway, and he and Diana get out of the vehicle. 

" How are you feeling?" Sour Cream asked while walking with Diana to the front door. 

" Thanks to you and the others. I am feeling better," Diana smiled. 

" That's great. We like seeing you smile," Sour Cream smiled. 

Diana's gaze softened, glad to have Sour Cream and the others in her life. 

Sour Cream pulls the house key from his jacket pocket and unlocks the door. He poked his head and saw his stepfather, Yellowtail, shirtless, wearing pajama pants and watching TV in the living room with his mother, Vidalia, wearing a lavender-colored shirt and black pajama pants. 

" Mom. Yellowtail. I have Diana with me. She is going to spend the night. She had a bad day," He explained. 

He watched Yellowtail leave the living room to put on a shirt. His mother looked at him and nodded. He opened the door fully and stepped inside with Diana behind him. 

" Good evening," Diana greeted. 

" Sorry for coming in unannounced, and my Aunt Amethyst says hello," She smiled, looking at Vidalia. 

Vidalia looked at Diana and smiled. 

" Tell your Aunt I say hi. Also, looking beautiful every time I see you, Diana," She greeted the younger teen and hugged her. 

Diana blushed and hugged Vidalia. 

" Mom. She will sleep in my room, and I'll sleep in the living room. I need to get my pajamas and change in the bathroom," Sour Cream explained and walked toward his bedroom. 

" You better make sure your room is not a mess!" Vidalia shouted while letting go of Diana and watching her eldest son enter his bedroom and close the door behind him. 

A few minutes later, Sour Cream exited his bedroom with his pajamas in his grasp and walked toward the bathroom. 

" My room is clean," He reassured and entered the bathroom, closing the door behind him. 

" I'll be back. You can borrow my old pajamas. I think they will fit you," Vidalia turns and walks towards her bedroom, which she shares with Yellowtail. 

Diana stood there, her eyes blinking, feeling like she was getting stared at. She turned and saw Sour Cream's younger brother, Onion, staring at her from the crack of his bedroom door. 

" Hello," She waved.

Her eyes blinked, looking confused, when she saw Onion close the door. She heard footsteps behind her and turned to see Vidalia holding a lavender-color nightgown, cream-color underwear, and black shorts. 

" This nightgown, underwear, and shorts will fit you," Vidalia holds the nightgown, underwear, and shorts to Diana. " Don't worry. The underwear is clean," She reassured. 

" Thank you," Diana grabs the nightgown, underwear, and shorts. She walks towards Sour Cream's bedroom. She closed the door behind her and removed her dirty clothes, setting them aside. 

Diana put on her pajamas and looked at herself in the body mirror. She grabs her dirty clothes and walks out of the bedroom, seeing Sour Cream conversing with his mother. 

" Um. Where can I put this?" She asked. 

" I'll take them and wash these clothes for you," Vidalia grabs the dirty clothes and walks away, leaving Sour Cream and Diana alone in the living room. 

Sour Cream saw what Diana was wearing and looked away, transforming the couch into a bed and putting blankets and pillows on it. 

" Thanks again for letting me spend the night here, Sour Cream. I appreciate it," Diana smiled. 

" No need to thank me. I'm glad to be there for you," Sour Cream. 

" I am going to brush my teeth and get ready for bed," Diana smiled. 

Sour Cream nodded, showing Diana where the bathroom was. He watched her close the door and returned to the couch-turned bed to sleep. 

He lays his head on the pillow and falls asleep after brushing his teeth. 

Diana washed her face and brushed her teeth. She dried her face with a towel, turned off the light, and left the bathroom. 

She enters the living room and sees Sour Cream asleep. She smiled, wishing her best friend good night, and entered his bedroom, closing the door behind him. 

" Night," Sour Cream muttered. 

Vidalia left Diana's clothes to wash alongside her dirty clothes. She walked towards the living room and wished Sour Cream good night. She knocked on the bedroom and wished Diana good night. 

" Good night!" Diana responded from inside the bedroom. 

Vidalia enters her bedroom and closes the door. 

Diana looked at her surroundings and noticed that the room had changed since the last time she visited. 

' Then again, we were like 12-13 before we changed our rooms, now that we are like 17-18,' She internally speaks. 

She saw that Sour Cream had band posters of different genres, and the walls got painted a dark blue, making the room look darker, but her heightened vision could see. 

She gets on the bed, grabs the blanket, and lays on the bed, putting the blanket over her. 

' I hope Steven realized his immaturity when he saw that he almost died because of a stupid freezer,' She internally speaks. 

She closed her eyes and fell asleep since she had school in the morning.
