Tree P.O.V:

This is great! CJ gets to spend time with his friends! And I can finally clean up the house without having someone almost burn it down...

I enter back into Remote's living room to find Black Hole holding her up while she fixes a lightbulb, with Jr. cheering her on.

"What on earth is happening?" I ask, they all instinctively turn to look at me.

"The light was flickering." Black Hole states.

"So we went to fix it." Remote adds on.

"YEAH!" Jr. yells. I facepalm and shake my head. "You guys are weird." I chuckle as Black Hole sets Remote down. Remote nods, "But we're fun! And you love ussssss!!" She smiles, running around in circles a bit.

Black Hole laughs, a full sound. I feel my heart flutter a bit, it's always nice to hear them laugh. It makes me feel good, knowing that they're happy. I wish I could tell them but that's to corny for even me to handle.

"Hellloooo? Earth to Tree?" Remote asks, waving a hand in front of my face. I snap out of my trance, shaking my head around a bit.

"Oh! S-sorry!" I chuckle, rubbing the back of my head. Remote laughs, "It's okay lover boy, I know you're just so enthralled by you're boyfriend." 

My face warms up, "Wh- WHAT?- What are you talking about hahahaha...ha..." I say, quickly trying to brush it off. CJ makes an "ooooooo..." sound as Remote laughs. 

"...what?" Black Hole asks, looking at me, then CJ and Remote, then back at me. I give an awkward smile and brush it off. "N-nothing love, let's go home so CJ can pack! Thanks for letting us spend time here Remote BYE!" I say quickly, gently shoving Black Hole and CJ towards the door.

"Of course! Tell me when the weddings gonna be!" Remote calls after us, giving me a mischievous smirk. I throw a playful glare at her. 

We all enter the car, silently pulling out of our parking space. Black Hole fidgets with his hands, looking out the window.

"Uhm...Tree?"

"Yeah?"

"What's a wedding?"

Oh for the love of god-

Cherry Jr. P.O.V:

I'm having a sleepover!!!! I'm having a sleepover!!!!! I'm having a sleepover!!!! I'm having a sleepover!!!!! I'm having a sleepover!!!! I'm having a sleepover!!!!! I'm having a sleepover!!!! I'm having a sleepover!!!!! I'm having a sleepover!!!! I'm having a sleepover!!!!!

"I'M HAVING A SLEEPOVER!!" I yell when we get into the house. "Inside voices CJ." Dad smiles.

"I'm having a sleepover!"  I whisper happily. Running off to my room to pack. I grab my toothbrush, pajamas, extra clothes, a deck of cards, all kinds of stuff!

"Sleepoverrrrrrr..!!!!!!!!" I smile, running back into the kitchen. Dad is drinking a smoothie again and Tree has some sandwiches. He smiles and hands one to me, "Thanks Tree!" I smile, taking a bite of the food.

"Of course, anytime." He chuckles, sipping his water. Dad stares blankly at the table, kind of weird.

"Uh...dad?" I ask. Tree turns towards Dad as well, looking equally confused. "Uh...babe?" Tree asks, tapping his shoulder. Dad jumps, looking around.

"S-sorry! Sorry...I uh-...wait...Tree?" He seems scared, holding his hands in front of his face before realizing where he is.

"You okay love?" Tree asks, placing his hand on dad shoulder. He sighs, nodding slowly. 
"Guess I just zoned out a bit...sorry about that."
