Sam and Brenda slept in, and when they woke up and went downstairs, Angela and some kid were in the kitchen with Mary and Sandy. Sandy and the kid were playing with blocks on the floor next to Angela and Mary. Brenda had on a grey long sleeved shirt and black pants that say 'DANCE'. Sam just had a pair of sweat pants on, which were sagging, without a shirt. He scratched his head and turn the stove on, getting a pan and putting it on the stove. He took the eggs out of the fridge and cracked a couple in the pan."How many you want, B?" He asked.

"2 is fine. Scrambled." She answered, talking to Angela and Mary.

"You want anything mama? Angela?"

"No, we've already eaten." He nodded and went back to cooking. He finished the eggs and made toast, putting jelly on his, P-nut butter on Brenda's. He put his plate on the table and hers in front of her, giving her a fork. He got a cup of milk for him and apple juice for her. He sat down and started eating immediately. Brenda shook her head at him, smiling. She ruffled his hair and he smiled at her with a mouth full of food. When they were done eating, he took the dishes and washed them, then sat back down. Brenda got up and sat on his knee, leaning back on him. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Whose kid?" He asked.

"Angela's." Brenda answered.

"Since when did she have a kid?"

"Since four years ago when she was born." Angela said. He stuck his tongue out at her. Then Chord came in chasing a little boy, who looked just like the little girl."That's Jackson and that's Addie." Angela said.

"Again, so many kids." He mumbled. Brenda patted his head.

"Come here you." Chord exclaimed, picking Jackson up."This one seriously needs a freaking leash of some sort."He said, looking at Angela, who shrugged and laughed. She took Jackson back and he was kicking his feet, and he kicked Chord right in the junk. He grabbed at is, cursing in his mind and said,

"That's it, I'm going back to bed." Then walked out of the kitchen. Everyone started laughing.

"When are you going to do that makeup crap?"Sam asked."Because I want to get it over with." She laughed.

"I'll do it later on tonight. Mom and mama want us to go through all of our clothes and stuff that's in the basement. I'm going to donate all my old shoes and clothes that don't fit anymore to people in need." Brenda said. Angela went in the living room with Jackson and Addie.

"Wait, did you just call my mom, mom?" Sam asked. She thought for a second and nodded.

"Um, yeah. Is that a weird thing?" She asked."Because if it is, I won't do it anymore."

"No, I love the fact that you call her that." Sam said. She smiled at him. Mary hugged Brenda.

"You have no idea how happy that makes me."She said. Brenda hugged her back.

Later that day

Sam and Brenda were in the basement by themselves, looking through old boxes of clothes and shoes they didn't wear anymore. They had three huge piles of their stuff all together. Brenda looked at Sam, who looked at her and huffed. He stood up.

"Alright, alright, alright, I'm done for now at least. It's to hot down here for me." He said. She giggled and let him pull her up. They went back up stairs.

"I'm gonna let you cool off some, and I'm gonna go get Stacy and my makeup." Brenda said, going up stairs. He groaned and fell onto the couch face first.

"You shouldn't have agreed to this." Mary said, giving Stevie Sam's phone so he could video tape it.

"When did you get my phone?" He asked. She ignored him and he continued." Have you seen Stacy's puppy dog eyes? They're hard to resist."

"Says you. You used to do it all the time when you were little. And I still see you doing it sometimes." He grinned cheekily. Sam heard Brenda call Stacy and Angela and tell them to go down stairs. She came down after they sat on the couch. Brenda made Sam get on the floor and she sat across from him.

"You recording this, Stevie?" Brenda asked.

"I am now." Even Donna came in to watch it. Brenda shook her head.

"Hold your arm out." She said. She put a little bit of foundation on his arm to see what matched his skin color, then started putting it on his face, going around the beard he's trying, and succeeding, to grow on his face. Sam just kept his eyes closed and let her do it.

"What does he need on his face, San San?" Brenda asked. Sam opened his eyes and looked at Sandy. She looked at him and said immediately.

"It needs Jesus." Then went back to braiding her doll's hair. Sam's mouth dropped open and Brenda started cackling, making everyone else start laughing. She calmed down, then saw the look on Sam's face, which made her start laughing harder. The face he made was between an angry face and a pouty face. He made a straight face and laughed at Brenda. When she calmed down, she went back to putting the makeup on his face. It took 20 minutes, because she kept poking him in the eye.

"If you'd stop moving, I wouldn't be poking you in the eye!" She exclaimed at some point, making him laugh. When she was done, lipstick and all, she took a picture of Sam with her phone and put it on Twitter. She looked back at him and saw him making kissy faces at her, trying to get her to laugh. She laughed.

"Chord! Mercedes! Get your asses down here!" Mary yelled up the stairs. Brenda looked at Sam and said,

"You should have been a girl. Seriously. Your eyelashes are longer than mine!" She exclaimed. Sam laughed and looked in the mirror.

"What the hell did you do to my face?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Something Jesus wouldn't even do." She answered seriously, then smiled sweetly. He chuckled."You know," She started," If you were a girl, I'd totally go gay for you." She finished, popping a piece of gum into her mouth and smiling. Sam laughed.

"Okay then."He answered. Chord and Mercedes came down and with one look at his face, Chord burst out laughing. He was literally on the floor laughing by the time he was done.

"You effing look like Miley Cyrus! But with big lips. And you're not naked on a wrecking ball." He said, holding his stomach since it was hurting from laughing so hard.

"You're an ass hole. And you look more like her 'cause your hair is lighter than mine."Sam said, sticking his tongue out at him. Then he looked at Brenda,"Can I take this off?"

"Hang on, one more picture. Duck face!"

The next day, after everyone got back from church, Brenda told Angela what she wanted her to do to her hair. She was going to get it died blonde. The only way she was letting Angela do it, is because she makes it look natural. Angela's hair is naturally black, but it looks like she was born with blonde hair, like all the Evans kids. And she was getting it cut to about mid back. Sam knew she was getting it blonde, and he told her to go ahead and try it out, see if she liked it. Sam took a nap upstairs, her hair still brown when he fell asleep. But when he woke up, he thought she was a completely different person. Angela had just finished her hair, drying, and straightening it. He came into the kitchen, wondering who the hell the woman was. He got a water bottle and whispered to Angela,

"Whose that?" She burst out laughing.

"Seriously, Sam? You didn't recognize your own girlfriend?" Brenda asked, standing up.

"What, oh!" He laughed at himself, hugging her."I'm sorry, it looks so natural though. I could have sworn it was someone else, like Kitty or Quinn."He kissed her forehead."It looks really good on you, it suits you." She grinned at him.

"No pictures until later tomorrow. I want to freak the shit out of everyone at the glee club meeting tomorrow."

Sorry it's not as long as the other chapters y'all, there are going to be a lot of chapters for this book. Way more than book 3, which was 60 chapters long. There will be at least 70.
