The Sleepover
Zoe was eager to stay over at Mercy's place. A small sleepover is all it is. She was eager though. Mercy not as much, but still eager. "Hurry up! I want to get there now!", Zoe demanded. Mercy sped up her walking to the point where she was dragging Zoe along. "If you insist", Mercy sighed. Zoe didn't care she was being dragged along and Mercy didn't care if she had to speed up. Besides, Mercy likes it when she is around people. Although, she likes to be alone sometimes. Zoe met up with Mercy not far from the place so it wasn't really a long walk back. They just had to enter the building and go up a set of stairs.
When they entered Mercy's small house, Zoe curiously looked around. She hadn't been in Mercy's house before. Mercy went to go get some chocolate chip cookies she had in a cookie jar. Luckily, no one stole a cookie from the cookie jar. "Zoe... want some cookies", Mercy offers as she stuffs a cookie into her mouth. She didn't make the cookies. Hera did. It was a gift to Mercy. The other workers got gifts, but different one. Zoe takes about two cookies from the jar. She's acting like a puppy who's exploring it's new home. It's funny. Zoe keeps looking around. "If you want we can sleep on a couch... or the floor. Choose one. I prefer the couch, but you choose one", Mercy asks. Zoe points at the couches. "Okay... I have enough blankets so we can each use our own", Mercy briefly explains. Mercy's pretty happy she gets to use a couch. She doesn't want to sleep on the floor and she doesn't want to sleep on her bed while Zoe sleeps on a couch or on the floor.
Once Mercy and Zoe get situated someone knocks on the door. "Who'd knock... this", Mercy turns to her window and checks to see if it's night, "this late at night". It is night. She doesn't know how late, but no one usually knocks at any time of day. She goes to open the door and sees Alicia. "Mercy! I heard you're having a slumber party! May I join?", Alicia asked. Mercy nodded her head. This is a genuine slumber party now. Besides, now Mercy can see who Alicia likes. She was planning on asking Zoe if she likes Leo, but she had no one else to tease her. Even if she did decide to tease Zoe, Zoe would bring up Zane and that would ruin Mercy's fun.
"So girls! What are we going to do know?", Mercy said flopping onto the floor. I grunted in pain as my face came in contact with the floor. "Ouchie!", Mercy screamed. Zoe and Alicia both laughed. Mercy hissed slightly. They laughed louder. Mercy pouts. "Hmph!", she huff.
Hours later we get into more fun things like gossip. "So Zoe!", Mercy exclaims as she roll onto her back. Mercy wore a smirk on her face. Zoe turned to her. "I have one question and you must be completely and utterly honest", Mercy smirk. Zoe nods. "Do you like Leo? Now be honest here... word won't get out". She can't walk out of this one. You know unless she brings up Zane. Then, Mercy might have to back of the topic. "Uh... I d-", Zoe cut herself off as she turned to the door. Mercy looked over to it too. "Hm?". Mercy's smirk grew wider. "Maybe you should get with Leo because I think I'm starting to like him", she smiles innocently. There was nothing innocent about it. She has a major plan.
Behind the door, there was a gasp. "What?!? You do?!?", Zoe screamed. Mercy quietly walked to the door and shook her head. She opened it revealing the eavesdropping boys who stood behind it. "Why eavesdrop on our conversation, boys", Mercy hissed as she glared at Mark, Jacob, and Leo. Then, she turned to Zane who was leaning on the wall opposite of the door. "
"They figured you'd talk about this kind of stuff", he sighed, "I had no part in this. I just wanted to see them fail their goals. Although, when you said- more like lied- you liked Leo, you got me too". Mercy then took her gaze from Zane and glared at the three boys again. Zoe and Alicia joined the glaring. "Girls... maybe we should teach a thing or two about privacy", Mercy suggested. Her glare transformed into a smile of pure evil! Evil I tell you! Zoe and Alicia nodded. Zoe shifted into a wolf as Mercy shifted into a cat. All three girls were angry. They chased off the boys. Luckily for the boys, they escaped unharmed. Zane watched the boys get chased off. He was actually hurt when Mercy said she liked Leo. He soon caught onto her lie when he realized a silhouette was approaching the door.
Hours later, Mercy asked the same question. "So how do you feel?", Mercy asked. Zoe shook her head to show she refused to answer. "How do you feel about Zane?", Zoe asked. Mercy laughed as she said, "I'd tell you once you tell me". She knows Zoe won't admit love for Leo, so Mercy won't have to answer. She doesn't know the true answer yet, but she may soon.
