𝑾𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐔𝐏 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 a sleepover is usually a struggle for many, but Lucy always looked forward to them. As she slowly made her way downstairs, she was greeted with the aroma of freshly cooked breakfast wafting through the Thunderman kitchen, instantly invigorating her senses.

The soft morning light filtering through the kitchen window cast a warm glow on everything it touched, creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere.

Lucy couldn't help but smile, feeling grateful for the warm and welcoming environment around her.

As Lucy and Phoebe made their way downstairs, she was pleasantly surprised to see Hank already up and about, a bright smile on his face. What caught her attention even more was that he was the one preparing breakfast, something she was used to seeing Barb do every morning.

"Morning, girls," He greeted.

"Morning." They spoke in unison, beginning to fill up their plates with bacon and toast.

The peaceful kitchen atmosphere was disrupted by the loud ringing of a doorbell. "I'll get it," Phoebe spoke up, walking towards the door.

As soon as she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, Phoebe was greeted by an extremely nervous-looking Cherry. The moment Cherry stepped inside the house, she began speaking in a rapid-fire manner, her words tumbling out at a breakneck pace.

"Phoebe, I really need your help!" Cherry said, practically yelling. "Is Lucy here?"

Phoebe quickly fetched her best friend from the kitchen saying something urgent was happening. Lucy was extremely relieved when she only saw Cherry standing by the doorway.

"Hey, Cher," She greeted with a smile on her face "What's up?"

"I need your guy's help." She spoke loud and fast, her tone sounding nervous.

"Oh my god," Phoebe quickly put the puzzles together "Joey finally asked you out!"

"And now we're meeting for pizza! What do I do?!" Cherry yelled.

"Okay, Cherry, just relax and breathe. Alright?" Phoebe instructed, instantly calming Cherry down.

"Sorry for the yelling. I always feel better when you guys are around." Cherry said, an idea forming in her mind. "You guys should come with me!"

"Wouldn't Joey find that a little weird?" Lucy raised her eyebrows.

"Well, better that than me shattering his eardrums. I'll have him invite his best friends." Cherry suggested.

"Neil?" Phoebe spoke up with disgust "The one who only eats blender food?"

"Hey, you haven't lived until you've had one of his hamburger milkshakes." Cherry defended. "Plus, his other best friend Nolan, on the other hand, is totally great. Not a big deal at all."

The girls still had doubts about this whole thing.

"Come on, guys! I've been crushing on Joey ever since my second time through the fourth grade." She begged.

Phoebe let out a sigh, sharing a look with Lucy. "All right. Fine. If it means that much to you, we'll be there."

"Really?!" Cherry's face instantly lit up. "Thank you! I'll see you at Wong's."
