"...And set up an arts and craft table" Claire said enthusiastically.

"I don't know what you are talking about, but I know that an arts and craft table is a big no" Jackie stated as she came walking into the kitchen.

"No, no Jackie I don't think you get it" Claire tried to explain. "We set up a table and everybody gathers around and make stuff and bam! They've got their own party favor"

"Yeah, no" Jackie responded while grabbing an apple.

Phil fake snored loudly.
"Sorry, I fell asleep while you were describing the most boring party ever"

Claire gave him a playfull hit on his arm.

"Ow!" He exclaimed while rubbing the spot.

"Thanks again for the karaoke machine" Phil thanked Mitch and Cam. "I'll get it back to you right after the party"

"That'd be great" Cam told him with a warm smile.

"Please don't. I beg you. Don't bring it back." Mitch whispered.

Jackie gave him a nod.
"We can fix that" Jackie whispered back, while carrying the machine.

"Hey, Phil. Are you getting a clown for today?" Cam asked all of a sudden.

"Oh! No. Luke's not much of a clown fan." Phil explained.

"Really?" Cam asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, he never liked them" Jackie said with a gulp.

"Has he ever seen a good one?" Cam asked again.

Phil and Jackie gave each other a look. Neither of them had any good experience with clowns.
"Has anyone?" They said in unison which was then followed by an awkward laugh.

"So, anyway, thanks again" Phil chuckled nervously motioning to the karaoke machine.

"No, clowns!" Jackie hissed as she walked by Mitch.

"Got it, see you later" He said while closing the door.

"There are snow cones?" Jackie asked excitedly.

"Yeah" Phil said excitedly. "Over there" He pointed.

Jackie squealed in excitement as she saw all the different flavors you could get.

"Mom, just so you know, Dylan cannot have mayonnaise." Haley said walking up to her parents and sister.

"That's random. Why are you telling me that?" Claire asked.

"Because he's coming to the party" Haley explained, looking up from her phone.

"Is that absolutely necessary?" Claire asked again.

"Yes, because she can't go 10 minutes without her boyfriend's tongue in her mouth" Alex interrupted before Haley got the chance to answer. "It's like he is feeding a baby bird" She then added.

"Mm, don't be so jealous. I'm sure you'll find someone super hot at computer camp" Haley said sarcastically.

"Girls..." Claire sighed.

"Snow cones!" Jackie squealed again and sprinted away to the snow cone machine.

"How's it going mom?" Jackie asked giggling. She had eaten about 8 snow cones and was probably high on sugar.

"It's going great, do you want to join me?" Claire asked almost beggingly.
