"Glue song"

REAL LIFE

Walker arrived at Zia's house, the excitement of the upcoming sleepover evident on his face. He carried his bag in one hand, and the other hand was occupied with a bouquet of flowers for Zia. He took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness, and walked up to the front door. Reaching out, he rang the doorbell and waited for Zia to answer.

The door opened, revealing Zia with a wide grin on her face. She was dressed in comfortable pajamas, clearly ready for the sleepover festivities. "Hey there, Walker!" she exclaimed, her lively tone immediately setting the tone for the night. (Or is it?)

Walker's heart skipped a beat as he took in the sight of Zia. She was always so radiant, and her enthusiasm was contagious. He held out the bouquet with a smile. "Hey Zia. These are for you," he said, a hint of shyness in his voice.

Zia's eyes widened at the sight of the flowers. "Awww, Walker, these are beautiful!" she exclaimed, taking the bouquet from him and bringing it to her nose to inhale their fragrance. "Thank you so much!"  she said, and then giving him a hug.

As Zia's arms wrapped around him, Walker felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in his chest. He returned the hug, his arms encircling her. "You're welcome," he replied, his voice a little muffled against her soft pajama top.

Zia pulled back from the hug, still holding the bouquet. "Come on in," she said, stepping aside to let him into her house. "We're going to have so much fun tonight!" Walker grinned, his nervousness melting away a bit at her infectious enthusiasm.

He stepped inside, taking in the cozy and inviting atmosphere of Zia's home. The scent of baked goods and the soft glow of fairy lights filled the air. He could already feel the excitement building, and he knew it was going to be a night to remember.

Zia closed the door behind him and led the way to her bedroom. "We're going to play some games, watch movies, and just have a great time," she explained, chatting excitedly as they walked. "I hope you're ready"

Walker chuckled, feeling a mix of anticipation and butterflies in his stomach. "I'm ready," he said, his eyes meeting hers for a moment before dropping to the ground. "I brought my favorite pillow and some snacks for us to share," he added, holding up the overnight bag.

Zia made a face at him and laughed. "Your favorite pillow?" She said in a questioning voice.

Walker chuckled sheepishly, feeling a little embarrassed. "Yeah, I can't sleep without it. It's just really comfortable," he explained, a hint of defensiveness in his tone. "It's not weird, is it?"

Zia laughed and patted his shoulder reassuringly. "No, it's not weird. People have their favorite things, and if your pillow helps you sleep better, then it's totally fine," she assured him, her tone friendly and accepting. "but how come I didn't see it last time?"

Walker flushed a bit at the mention of the previous sleepover they had together. "Um, I might have forgotten it last time," he admitted, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly. "But this time, I made sure to bring it."

Zia chuckled and rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh, Walker, you can be such a doofus sometimes," she teased, but there was no malice in her voice. "Well, I'm glad you didn't forget it this time," she added, leading him into her bedroom.

The room was cozy and inviting, with fairy lights strung across the ceiling and a large bed covered in fluffy blankets and pillows. Zia plopped down onto the bed, still holding the bouquet of flowers, and gestured for Walker to come and sit next to her.
