28 Blind Dates: After the Costumes (Part 38)

Teen Birthday Party (2)

Jalisa takes over for Brock with the clean-up after he’s been bombarded with questions from Shania on what being a nanny is like. Merlin decides to spice up the punch with a few of his secret ingredients. Now it’s just as good as the food. Me-Me is the first person to step over and try it out.

Me-Me sits down with her glass and stares across the table at Kory.

Jamelia: Why don’t you go and talk to him?

Melisa: No way, are you crazy?

Jamelia: It’s okay, sis…I’ve got you.

Lia is up and walking towards Kory’s end of the table before Me-Me can stop her.

Melisa: Lia! No!

Jamelia: *sits down* Hey Kory. How are you?

Kory: I’m good. How about you?

Jamelia: I won’t beat around the bush. You see my sister over there? She’s been staring at you the whole time. Do you like her or not, because I’m sure she has a little crush on you?

Kory: Well…I think she’s pretty.

Jamelia: Good. That’s a start. Now it’s out of my hands. Maybe you two can go out sometime or something, but you’ll have to ask her because she’ll never approach you herself.

Merlin sits down right on time to hear the tail end of the conversation.

Merlin: Say what now? Who’s approaching who?

Jamelia: *innocent tone* We were talking about a TV show, daddy.

Despite Lia’s best efforts, Kory doesn’t approach Me-Me. Instead, he’d rather work up his courage and pick another time.

The party guests begin to disperse and slowly leave. Jalisa finishes up the clean-up, hoping that the party was a success.

After the guests have left, Lia heads upstairs and enters the bedroom. She’s shocked to see that the room has gotten a new teen makeover since she last saw it. She should have known that their parents were up to something.

Jamelia: What the heck? Where are the bunk beds?

She puts on her pajamas and relaxes on the bed, unhappy to see all their toys and things of youth gone.

Jay has a similar reaction to Lia when he sees it, but Me-Me is thrilled.

Melisa: Oh my Watcher! I love it!

Jalin: *disappointed* Of course you do, because it’s all your favorite colors.

Melisa: No, it isn’t!

Jalin: Come on, Me-Me. It looks like a bottle of stomach medicine exploded in here.  And where’s our block table? *sigh* At least there’s a TV…and it’s on my side of the room, so I get first dibs.

Melisa: Whatever, Jay. The room looks great.

Jay changes and crawls into bed. Me-Me looks around for a bit longer and does the same, followed by Lia.
