"RENT" third grade 8-9
Notice- ANGEL IS HERE! *breaks into the song "Celebrate"* Okay I'm good. I'm just very hyper right now. Mark and Roger meet Angel. YAY! It will take me a long time to get over the fact that ANGEL IS HERE! *Starts dancing like crazy then goes back to normal* Warning: Angel and Mimi know spanish so I may have them speak a bit of spanish. Okay I'll just start the story now. One last thing I can't put the little accent marks on certain words, but I'll translate at the end. Alright so the kids are going to the museum at one point and I looked at a map of New York (I don't live there so I have to do my research in order to write my RENT fics) and the distance between Alphabet City and the museum was a LONG way. As I read on the museum's website there are quite a few exhibits that are past and aren't at the museum; I will be putting them in here because if you think about the general dates, then the exhibits would be different then than now. And just for the record I am NOT going to take ANY credit for any exhibits I may mention here so please don't sue me. Any exhibits I mention belong to the Children's Musuem of Manahattan.
  

  Roger Davis was packing his school supplies into his backpack. He had just celebrated his 8th birthday and his best friend, Mark Cohen was about to turn 8.
  "I wonder what third grade will be like." He wondered aloud as he finished packing his things. He picked up the small black Fender electric his parents had gotten him. He put it into its case and ran out to eat some waffles with whipped cream. A rare treat for him. (A/N: This really is a rare treat for me so I put it in here.)
  "Hi Roger, you ready to go?" Mrs. Davis asked.
  "Yep. All my stuff's packed and I have my guitar." Roger said.
  "Good." Roger's father told him as he walked in.
  "Hey Dad. Can I go to Mark's after school today?" Roger asked.
  "Did Mark invite you?" Mr. Davis asked. Roger nodded. "Okay then sure. Go ahead and have fun."
  "Great thanks Dad." Roger told him, giving him a hug as he ran to the door.
****
  When Roger and his father got to school, Mark and Mrs. Cohen were there too. Roger ran to his small blond haired, blue eyed friend who wore glasses and a blue and white scarf.
  "Hey Rog. Good summer?" The smaller boy asked as the taller green eyed, dirty blond haired boy nodded.
  "You?" Roger asked.
  "Yep. And now on our way to our Third Grade classroom." Mark told him. Both boys said good-bye to their parent and ran into Alphabet City Elementary. There they spotted their two old friends.
  "Collins hey!" Roger greeted a dark skinned boy with a knit hat and long coat.
  "Hi Collins." Mark greeted.
  "Hey any greeting for me?" Another boy with dark skin asked as he walked forward.
  "August 23, 7:40 a.m. Here at Alphabet City Elemantary. Close on Benjamin Coffin III. Benny wants a greeting but will we give him one?" Benny scowled as Mark finished his sentence. "Alright. Hey Benny." Mark gave in and greeted him.
  "That's better. Hey Rogie."
  "Roger. And hey." Roger greeted. The three boys were talking calmly when the bell rang, making them all jump.
  "Let's get to class!" The all said in unison. They ran to Mr. A's room and took their seats. There was one new student. The rest were all people who Mark and Roger knew.
  "Hey Mimi Marquez returns!" Roger yelled as Mimi smacked the back of his head.
  "Maureen Johnson is here!" A sing song voice yelled from the door.
  "Can't Maureen ever make a quiet enterance?" Mark asked.
  "No I can't." Maureen replied. "Oh there's Joanne Jefferson!" She yelled in a sing song voice again.
  "Never introduce me like that again." Joanne said as she sat down. Then they noticed that the new boy was staring at them. Mimi walked over to him.
  "Hablas Espanol?" Mimi asked in Spanish.
  "Si. Que estan haciendo?" The new boy asked. He had tan skin and dark brown hair with brown eyes.
  "Nada. Nomas estabamos jugando. Como te llamas?" Mimi asked.
  "Angel Dumot Schunard."
  "Me gusta tu nombre." Mimi said, her eyes glowing. Angel nodded.
  "Como te llamas tu?" Angel asked.
  "Mimi. Mimi Marquez." Mimi replied.
  "Como se llaman ellos?" Angel asked.
  "Roger Davis tiene el pelo cafe. Mark Cohen tiene el pelo werro. Joanne Jefferson tiene el cabello mui cortito. Maureen Johnson es la que estaba gritando. Benjamin Coffin III no tiene pelo. Tom Collins tiene el sombrarro." Mimi replied.
  "Okay. Gracias."
  "Sabes ingels porque mis amigos no hablan espanol?" Mimi asked.
  "Si hablo ingles."
  "Alright. Should I introduce them to you or do you want to yourself?" Mimi said.
  "I will. Hey guys I'm Angel Dumot Schunard." He greeted.
  "Hey Angel." Collins greeted. "Mimi introduced me as Tom Collins, but my friends call me Collins." Angel nodded in response and then thier teacher told them to be quiet. Third Grade had officially begun.
****
  When the bell rang for lunch the bohemians ran to the playground. Angel and Mimi were really getting on great and Collins kept trying to talk to Angel. Roger carried his guitar with him like always and Mark was filming everyone.
  "August 23 11:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time the group of eight is now in third grade. Today we meet Angel Dumot Schunard. He's a new student here and already has a bunch of friends." Mark narrated.
  "Hey Mark." Angel greeted the camera as he acted as though he was going to kiss the lense. Mimi laughed and grabbed Mark's scarf that April had given him.
  "Hey! Mimi give that back!" Mark yelled. He shoved his camera into Angel's chest and ran after Mimi.
  "There's Mark chasing Mimi for a scarf. Maybe Roger can tell us why Mark is so upset about his scarf." Angel turned the camera to Roger.
  "My friend April Ericsson gave that to him when we were in Pre-School." Roger explained. "She also gave me this." He showed the dog-tag with April's picture on the back.
  "Oh okay." Angel replied. Then he turned the camera back to Mark and Mimi and watched intently as Mark continued to chase her. Angel sighed and shoved the camera at Maureen who filmed as Angel ran after Mimi. "Meems give him the scarf!" Angel called as she got closer to Mimi. Mimi threw the scarf at Mark who caught it and grabbed the camera back from Maureen.
  "Spoil sport." Mimi muttered, looking at Angel.
  "I just wanted to give him back his scarf." Angel replied. Mimi shurgged and ran to the bars that were set up outside so the kids could play on bars without going on the monkey bars.
  "Meems, what are you doing?" Angel asked.
  "I'm in gymnastics Ang." Mimi explained. Angel watched as Mimi swung herself off the bar and stuck a perfect landing. Maureen climbed up and hung upside down while Mimi continued doing gymastics moves. Mark was filming and Roger was playing his guitar.
  "Jo what are you writitng?" Benny asked as he walked forward.
  "Oh this is just a short essay on how laws could be improved." Joanne said holding up the 15 page long essay.
  "Oh yeah that essay is short alright. Absoluetly tiny." He replied sarcastically. Roger nodded in agreement to Benny.
  "I have no idea how she's that smart about laws." Collins remarked. Angel had just walked over and agreed with Collins. Mark stood there filming each of them. Roger sat next to Joanne and played his guitar while she tried to work. Maureen came and joined them a few seconds later while Mimi went over to the monkey bars where she showed just how well she could balance by walking along the side bar that held the monkey bars together, only to get into major trouble from the teachers.
  "Wow those teachers are worried! I'm a gymnist I think I can take care of myself. I'm not gonna fall!" Mimi protested after the teachers left.
  "It's okay Meems, we all get into trouble over stupid things." Roger told her, putting an arm around her shoulders. She shrugged him off and went back to the monkey bars. Joanne looked up but otherwise gave no idication that she had heard. Mimi and Maureen were now having a conversation about how gymnastics and ballet were the same and how they were different.
  "Rog, SMILE!" Mark yelled pointing his camera at Roger. Roger groaned and tried to get Mark to quit.
  "Mark! I don't want to be on film!" Roger protested.
  "Jo how do you know all this?" Benny asked.
  "Most of it is my father's work. He's a lawyer and I intnend to be one too when I grow up. Ten pages are his the rest are mine."
  "Okay that makes more sense." Benny told her.
  "Ang, what are you doing?" Collins asked as Angel ran at the wall of the school, but stopped short upon hearing Collins.
  "Just watch this." Angel ran at the wall again before taking one step up the wall and doing a backflip.
  "ANGEL SCHUNARD!" An angry teacher ran at Angel.
  "Ohhh! Run boy run that's Quincy and she'll give you detention." Collins told him, Angel took off his shoes and socks and ran the oppisite direction. "GO ANGEL!" Collins yelled. Mark, Roger, Maureen, Benny, Mimi, Collins and even Joanne ran after him. Ms.Quincy kept after them.
  "Keep up guys!" Roger yelled. Mark, who still had his camera picked up the pace and nearly caught up to Roger. Maureen grabbed his hand and dragged him forward. Joanne ran faster herself and helped Collins catch up. Mimi jumped over a student who was turning a somersault. Mark stumbled and Mimi (who was behind him) caught him before he fell and kept him from falling. Angel was already really far ahead and still kept going, his neck length hair flew out behind him. It took the others a second to realize where he was going. He was running into a huge crowd of boys that were taller than him. Benny kept up an easy jog and burst into speed when he had to.
  "GO ANGEL!" Collins screamed. Angel looked back and ran faster still. Collins looked back and saw Ms.Quincy was now talking on a walkie talkie. Everyone sped up. Collins darted ahead and caught up to Angel.
  "Ang, she's got her talkie out! She's callin' in more people to catch ya! RUN FASTER!" Collins panted as he and Angel ran forward. Angel was beginning to breathe harder. Collins ran just behind him and grabbed his shoulders to help support him. Before they could reach the crowd Angel collapsed. The others caught up soon after while Collins tried to revive him.
  "Thomas what happened?" Benny asked.
  "Don't call me that first of all and second of all Angel ran out breath. Help me!" Collins begged. Roger scooped the Hispanic boy into his arms and ran. All the others followed and soon they were at the gate of the school.
  "Alright, we either keep running or we let Quincy get Angel." Roger suggested. They looked around and saw the back up Ms.Quincy had called for.
  "I say we run." Maureen said. The others nodded. "Let's go!" All of them burst through the gate and ran onto the street. Roger was in the lead with Angel still in his arms.
  "Where do we go?" Collins asked.
  "Central Park." Roger replied. "They can't catch us there." The group ran toward the park where they stopped near the lake. Angel was laying on the ground where Roger had layed him. Mimi put her ear to his lips and felt warm breath.
  "He's alive. Thankfully." Mimi told them all. Collins sighed in releif and nearly fell over himself. Angel awoke and he was still brething hard, but it had a more regular pattern to it now.
  "Where's Quincy?" He asked as soon as he sat up.
  "We lost her. You fainted from exhaustion and Roger carried you to Central Park and we all followed." Collins explained.
  "Oh. Wait a second, you mean we ditched school!" Angel screamed. Everyone looked at each other and nodded. "AYE NO! Tenemos que regresar!" Angel muttered loudly in fluent Spanish.
  "Angel, calmate. No pueden aser nada." Mimi replied. Angel sighed and relaxed.
  "What should we do while we're here?" Raoger asked the group.
  "Well we have to go back for our stuff, we can't just leave it at school." Mark said.
  "But if we do that then we'll get into major trouble." Joanne pointed out.
  "We already are." Maureen reminded her.
  "Oh great! My parents are going to kill me!" Angel gasped as tears came to his eyes. Mimi pulled him into a hug.
  "Calm down Ang. We'll go back, but we'll say that you got sick so that at least you won't get into any more trouble." Mimi told him. Angel only cried harder. Collins and all the others joined into the hug. Angel was in the middle of all of them. Mimi and Collins were the two in the middle who were both holding him.
  "I can't beleive we ran away from school." Angel gasped.
  "We did what we had to do." Roger told Angel.
  "Yeah we couldn't let Quincy skin you alive just for that." Collins said with a grin. Angel giggled slightly and his crying stopped.
  "While we're here, what can we do?" Mimi asked.
  "Why don't we play a game of tag?" Maureen suggested, but then Ms. Quincy ran up to them, gasping for breath.
  "You eight are in SO much trouble!" She yelled at them. The boho's all looked at each other. Angel's eyes went wide with fear.
  "Hey we can't blame poor Angel for running away from you." Roger told her, standing up.
  "Yeah. He didn't do anything wrong!" Mark agreed quickly as he stood up.
  "Exactly." Maureen said standing up.
  "We tried to help him." Mimi defended as she too joined the group.
  "He fainted from exhaustion so we were helping!" Collins stood protectivley in front of Angel.
  "Yeah." Joanne spoke against a  teacher for the first time. She even stood up against the teacher.
  "You saw exactly what happened." Benny said.
  "Don't put any blame on them." Angel said as he stood up behind Collins. "It was my fault."
  "No it wasn't. It was us who carried you off." Collins told him.
  "I know, but I'm the one who got into trouble so you shouldn't be blamed for that." Angel replied.
  "No matter ALL of you are in trouble. Mr. Schunard is in trouble for the backflip. Mr. Collins is in trouble for helping him escape. Mr. Davis is in trouble for ditching school, Mr. Cohen is in trouble for the same reason. Miss Johnson, Miss Marquez and Miss Jefferson are all in trouble for helping him escape and for ditching. Mr. Coffin is also in trouble for that." Ms. Quincy told them. She led them all back to the school.
****
  The eight sat in chairs in the principals office.
  "What were you eight thinking?" The principal asked.
  "Well we were thinking that helping a friend would be a good thing." Roger replied.
  "Yeah." The others agreed.
  "Well you were wrong." The principal said.
  "How?" Mimi asked.
  "You helped that friend into trouble." The principal replied.
  "But we also kept him away from possibly going to the hospital." Collins defended.
  "But you actually ran OFF school grounds!" The principal replied.
  "We were going to come back." Maureen replied.
  "No you weren't. Ms. Quincy heard you say that you were going to play tag."
  "Yeah we were gonna play tag on our way back to school." Angel covered.
  "You were going to play tag as you came back?"
  "Yes." Mark agreed.
  "You can stick to that story, but it still doesn't explain why you deliberatly disobeyed a teacher and left the grounds while KNOWING that you would get in trouble."
  "We left the grounds because we lost track of where we were going." Benny told him.
  "Really?"
  "Yes." Joanne replied.
  "Well I'll let you off with a warning this time, and no parents will be called, but all of you will have to sit out of recess for two days." The principal told them.
  "Alright." The eight agreed. They left the office and walked back to class.
  "Well that was easy." Collins remarked. The others laughed, but agreed anyway.
  "I'm jst glad he decided not to call our parents." Angel told them. Collins gave the smaller boy a quick hug and they all went straight to their table.
****
  The week passed quickly for the boho kids. That weekend, Mark invited all of his friends to go to the Children's Museum of Manhattan. Of course all of them agreed. They would be meeting at Mark's house and Mark's parents would be driving them there. Roger arrived first, then Angel, after Angel came Collins, Maureen was next, then Benny and finally Joanne.
  "Is everybody here?" Mr. Cohen asked Mark who nodded. "Alright let's go. Now kids we have a long drive ahead of us so do you think you'll be bored?" He asked them. They shook their heads no. "Alright then out to the car!" He called. The eight bohos ran out to the car and got in. Everyone buckled their seatbelts and Mr. Cohen drove off. Mrs. Cohen would be staying at home. Mark sat in the middle, Roger on Mark's left and Maureen on Mark's right with Joanne next to Maureen. Collins sat in the middle in the back with Angel on his left and Benny on his right with Mimi sitting next to Angel and behind Roger.
  "What can you do at a museum?" Angel asked, slightly embarrased that he didn't already know.
  "We're going to a museum especially for kids so I guess there will be things for kids." Maureen replied.
  "Like toys?" Roger asked.
  "Yeah." Collins replied.
  "What else?" Mimi asked.
  "Maybe arts and crafts." Mark said.
  "I just hope it isn't boring." Benny said.
  "It won't be." Joanne said. All eight shrugged and split up into conversations. Mark and Roger were playing rock, paper, scissors. Collins and Angel were talking. Maureen and Joanne were talking about things only girls could find interesting while Benny and Mimi talked about how school was going.
  "Ha I win!" Roger shouted after their tenth rock, paper, scissors match.
  "I almost won!" Mark protested.
  "But it was ME who won in the end." Roger told him.
  "True."
  "Good work Rog." Mimi told him.
  "Thanks Meems." Roger replied. It was Collins who hinted that Mark had also played a part in the game.
  "Ang, do you think Mark deserves some credit too?" Collins asked Angel. He nodded.
  "Of course. Mark good try." Angel rewarded Mark.
  "Thanks. At least someone tells me that." Mark told the group.
  "Good work Marky." Maureen told him.
  "Mo don't call me that!" Mark replied.
  "Oh so you don't thank me then." She replied.
  "Oh sorry, thanks but don't call me that!" He told her.
  "You two pick on each other a lot." Roger observed.
  "No we don't!" Maureen and Mark shouted at the same time.
  "Yes you do."
  "Do not!" Mark replied.
  "Yes!"
  "No!"
  "Yes!"
  "Yes!" Mark replied.
  "No! Wait, oh darn!" Roger realized his mistake.
  "Good work Marky." Maureen told him.
  "Now that time I won." Mark told Roger proudly.
  "Yeah, but you tricked me!"
  "But I won."
  "You tricked me."
  "Oh shut up the both of you!" Collins exclaimed. Mark and Roger fell silent.
  "Thank you Thomas." Benny said.
  "Hey, don't call me Thomas, Benjamin!" Collins spat back.
  "I won't if you won't call me Benjamin!" Benny replied.
  "And you all say that Maureen and I fight. Look at the rest of us." Mark spoke up. At his comment everyone burst out laughing.
  "Hey he's right!" Roger said while laughing.
  "He is." Collins agreed. When they calmed down, they realized that they were almost to the museum.
  "They DO say that time flies when you're having fun." Maureen remarked.
  "Well it seems that saying is true then." Joanne said. Then the van pulled into the driveway of the museum.
  "Here we are kids." Mr. Cohen told them. Mark climbed over them and shoved open the door so the boho kids could get out. Mr. Cohen told them all to get a partner to hold hands while they walked through the parking lot. Maureen ran straight to Mark and gripped his hand tightly. Roger shyly took Mimi's hand. Collins and Angel held hands and Benny and Joanne partnered up.
  "Watch for cars." Mark's father called.
  "Okay!" Mark spoke for all of them. Maureen all but dragged Mark to the sidewalk in her excitment to get into the museum. Roger and Mimi joined them shortly. Colllins and Angel ran up to join them and Joanne and Benny walked like two mini adults.
  As they walked inside the partners quickly dropped each others hands, but Angel didn't let Collins' hand go right away. Collins didn't seem to notice, until he realized that he was holding a very warm hand in his own. Angel and Collins both blushed and let each others hands go.
  "Ang, come look at this!" Mimi called as she ran further into the museum. Angel looked around. It was amazing. There were kids everywhere and so many different rooms. The boho's ran further inside for a better look at what they could do here. Not much was meant for eight and nine year olds but they decided to look around anyways. They went straight to the exhibit called 'The Art of Andy Warhol.'
  "Whoa." Roger remarked as soon as he saw the art.
  "You can say that again." Collins replied.
  "Dang this is cool." Maureen commented.
  "Masterpeices." Was Joanne's comment.
  "If I could do that, I would be SO happy." Benny told them.
  "I bet you could but you'd have to practice a lot." Angel responded.
  "I like the self portraits." Mark said randomly.
  "Me too." Mimi agreed. The boho kids looked around a bit more before Mark's father told them it was time to leave. The eight boho kids partnered up with the same people to cross the parking lot to get to the car.
  "That was an awesome trip!" Roger exclaimed.
  "Yeah, thanks for bringing us Mr. Cohen!" Muareen told Mark's father.
  "No problem. Glad to know that you kids had fun." Mr. Cohen replied.
****
  When they arrived at Mark's house, they all got to play until their parents showed up.
  "Bye Mark!" Roger called, he was the first to leave.
  "Later Rog!" Mark called back as the taller boy waved and left with his parents. Next came Angel's mother.
  "Mark, I'll see you at school on Monday!" He called.
  "Okay, bye Angel!" Mark yelled. Now only Collins, Maureen, Joanne and Benny remained. Until Benny's parents arrived.
  "Later Mark." Benny gave Mark a high five and ran to his car.
  "Later Benny." Mark replied. Collins was next.
  "See ya later Marky." Collins teased as he ran off.
  "Bye Collins." Joanne was next.
  "Thanks for inviting me Mark!" She called.
  "No problem. Thanks for coming." Then Mimi left.
  "Bye Mark!"
  "See you!" He called after her. Now only Maureen was left alone with Mark. He squirmed a bit. This was the first time he had ever been alone with a girl before and it made him a bit nervous. Thankfully Maureen was only there for ten more minutes.
  "Bye Marky." Maureen ran at him and nearly toppled him over in a very tight hug around the neck until he was gasping for breath.
  "Bye Mo." He responded when she had let him go. Mark waved as her car dissapeared around the corner.
****
  On Monday, the class got the chance to tell what they had done over the weekend. Mark, Roger, Mimi, Angel, Collins, Benny, Maureen and Joanne all told the story about the museum, but of course a few details were different according to each person who told it. Mark's was story was detailed and it was told in a bit of a shy tone (which Maureen thought was adorable.) Roger's version of the story lacked details and got off topic. Mimi's story was had very vague details and a lot of emotion to it. Angel spoke with a bit of a stutter in his voice and shuffled his feet a lot, but the story itself was good. Collins told his version with details that mostly included what he and Angel had seen that the others sometimes missed. Benny talked about every detail and he managed to say it all confidently. Maureen over exhageratted every detail. Joanne told it like Benny had, she told it in detail and confidently.
  "Thank you Mark, Roger, Mimi, Angel, Collins, Benny, Maureen and Joanne for sharing." Their teacher said. The eight then muttered variations of the words 'you're welcome.'
****
  At the end of the year Angel invited the boys to a sleep over at his house and Mimi decided to invite the girls since she lived on the same street as Angel. The eight waited for the weekend they would get to go to the sleepovers and when it came the boho kids couldn't get more excited.
  Angel waited for the boys to get to his house while Mimi waited for the girls at her house.
  Mark and Roger arrived at the same time at Angel's and Maureen arrived first at Mimi's. Benny and Collins showed up next as they carpooled and Joanne showed up at Mimi's.
****
  At Angel's the boys were having a great time.
  "Hey guys, wanna know what we should do?" Roger asked.
  "Sure." Collins replied.
  "We should go crash the girls' party." Roger told them.
  "Mimi would kill us if we did that." Angel reminded him.
  "So what?"
  "I don't wanna make Mimi mad." Angel told him firmly.
  "I do. It'd be funny." Roger said.
  "I say we should." Collins agreed with Roger.
  "But, Collins don't you agree with me?" Angel asked.
  "It might be fun." Mark said.
  "Oh not you too!" Angel yelled.
  "Yes me too." Mark replied.
  "Fine. But if she asks whose idea it is we're saying it was Roger's." Angel told them.
  "Alright." They all agreed.
****
  Meanwhile at Mimi's the girls were also having a great time.
  "Hey, it would be fun to go spy on the boys." Maureen spoke up.
  "But they might get mad." Joanne replied.
  "It WOULD be fun." Mimi agreed with Maureen.
  "C'mon Jo!" Maureen begged as she pouted.
  "Maureen, we could get into a LOT of trouble." Joanne replied.
  "But it'd be fun!" Maureen countered.
  "You don't care about getting into trouble?" Joanne asked.
  "No. Well maybe a little, but I still say it would be fun. What do you say Meems?" Maureen asked.
  "I say we should." Mimi agreed.
  "Let's go!" Maureen yelled.
  "But in case Angel gets upset, Maureen will take the blame. After all it WAS YOUR idea." Mimi told them.
  "That's fine." They agreed.
****
  "Let's go boys!"
****
  "C'mon girls!"
****
  The two groups headed out at exactly the same time. The groups crept through the backyards. The boys carried no flashlight and were all wearing pajamas. The girls were dressed in some of Mimi's dark clothes, but wore pajamas under them and had no flashlight. Both made it through two bakyards before they met in the fifth one. Mimi was leading the girls and Roger was leading the boys. The backyard they were in had a lot of bushes and trees so it made the already dark night darker. Roger led the way for the boys, unknowing that Mimi was leading the girls the opposite direction. So it came as no surprise that he and Mimi screamed when they ran into each other.
  "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Roger screamed as he sidestepped a tree and ran into another, smaller girl.
  "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mimi screamed when she ran straight into Roger's chest. There was no doubt that their screams had been heard around the neighborhood.
  "MIMI!?" Roger asked.
  "ROGER!?" Mimi shot back.
  "What are you doing here?" They asked in unison.
  "We were going for a walk." Roger lied.
  "In your pajamas?" Mimi asked.
  "Yes. What about you?"
  "Same."
  "Looking like a ninja?" He asked.
  "Yes."
  "If I didn't know better I'd say you were going to spy on us." Roger told her.
  "It was Mo's idea. And I'd say you guys were gonna crash our party." Mimi told him.
  "It was my idea." Roger said.
  "I figured." Mimi retorted. Roger stuck his tongue out at Mimi. She stuck her tongue out back at him. Maureen and Joanne came up behind Mimi and Angel, Collins, Mark and Benny came up behind Roger. The boys ran into Roger causing him to scream again and this time Roger took off running back towards Angel's house. Mimi saw the boys.
  "You'd better get home." Mimi told them just before Maureen and Joanne ran into her causing her to scream and run home with the other two close behind.
****
  The next morning they met on the street and talked about what they had done at their sleepovers. Mimi and Roger refused to talk to each other and if they did it was to argue.
  Later that afternoon Mimi said goodbye to Maureen and Joanne and they went home. Angel said goodbye to Roger, Mark, Collins and Benny and they went home.
  It was going to be another typical summer for the boho kids.
