The day was over in a flash and at the end of it, he realized that hanging out with Sasha had been a blast.

He was a little nervous at the thought of going over to her house, but he was excited too, and it wasn't a big deal, right? Friends visited friends, hanged out with each other, and had a fun. Then again, Sasha was a girl, so it was a little strange, but why did it matter? What counted was that he enjoyed her presence and liked having her around. He came to a conclusion and the nervousness ebbed away, in its place came excitement. Having a friend who didn't call him strange or too quiet for his own good was nice.

Evening came and he had quiet dinner with his family. They asked him about Sasha, how his day went, and how he met her at the amusement park. His mother was happy he had made a friend and so was his dad, though the latter took the opportunity to tease his son a little bit. Garret got all flustered and his mom scolded his dad, telling the man to apologize. It was a night full of joking around and laughter and they ended it by watching a movie together. At ten they sent him up to his room to sleep, but he couldn't, so instead he gathered his pokemon cards, picked out a few books then stuffed them into his shark looking bag, when he finished he flipped on his lamp then went to sleep.

The following day, he was a combination of eager and afraid, though the latter won out. His mother dropped him at Sasha's place and the girl and her mother gave him a warm welcome. He gave them both a sheepish smile followed by a hello and a wave. He felt tense, and shuffled in awkwardly after his friend. Sasha's mom suggested grilled sandwiches and salad and he bobbed his head up and down in response, unsure about what to say. It took him a few tense moments before he muttered a 'thank you very much.' then stuck close Sasha. Both children went upstairs and for some reason the girl apologized for her mom. Garret shrugged it off and gave her a smile, he was back to his normal self now that there wasn't anyone else around. "Grilled sandwiches are great, thank you very much."

They entered Sasha's room and it was a calm and comforting lavender. It was also very neat and there were so much books. He smiled and it lit up his face, "Neat," the boy's eyes flitted from book to book and some of books she had were books he had enjoyed. "You have a great taste in books," he complimented, a bright smile still stuck to his face. Marine life and books, those were things he loved very much. He continued looking around but was interrupted by Sasha's offer to play Pokemon cards.

"Really? I'll do my best to learn." He stated with much more enthusiasm than he usually had. "I-I, brought some cards...but I don't know how to play the game. Can I use any kind of Pokemon in a deck?" He gave her a look that was both determined and curious before he pulled his bag open and began digging around for his cards. Eventually, he pulled them out and put them before Sasha.

They actually broke into Applewood and made it out without getting caught!

She felt like she was on top of the world and the rush made her giddy with excitement. If felt like they were back in the haunted house all over again. She gave Devon a bright and cheerful grin. "If chasing after kids like us is all they do, then it sounds like it sucks pretty bad." Devon was sad they didn't get to see any of the students, but Ami didn't mind much. They got their trophies and just looking at the bulky Physics book made her grin. She made a mental note to hide it under her bed, if her older brother or her parents saw it, they'd question her for sure. "Mhm, though today was a lot of fun already. Thanks, Devie."

Both children walked down the street only for an ice cream truck to appear. Devon offered to buy ice cream for them both and Amity accepted it gratefully. She had a strawberry ice cream sandwich and ate it happily by the sidewalk. Hanging out with Devon was exciting and new, the things he were into were definitely adventurous and exciting and she looked forward to going on more wacky trips, they were a lot of fun. She was glad that Mrs. Hankle paired them together during the trip to the amusement park, if she hadn't, then she wouldn't have met a great friend.

As they ate ice cream on the sidewalk Devon suggested they hang out. Laser tag sounded cool and so without hesitation she gave him a grin and two thumbs up, muttering an incoherent sure since her mouth was stuffed with ice cream. She gobbled it all up then laughed, "Sounds cool to me." The Devon walked up to leave and she waved goodbye, watching as he disappeared down the road. Ami remained seated for a bit more, just relaxing before she too decided to head back towards her own house. She got home around the same time her brother did and when he asked her what she was up to, she stated she went on a grand adventure. He shrugged it off and they played a bit of tekken before she left to draw in her room.

The next day she asked her parents if she could hang out with a friend at the laser tag place. They gave her the money she would need and she was off to meet Devon. The girl was looking forward to another day of fun. When Ami got there she saw Devon waiting and gave him a bright grin and a wave.

"Morning, Devie!" It was different meeting up with people who weren't a part of her circle of friends, but she didn't mind. Besides, Devon would fit in just fine with Theo and Kas. Maybe next time she could introduce him to them. "What's up on such a fine day?" She asked with much energy and cheer.
