Team8s and Counting

145. Thread's First Sleepover

After coming back from the resort, everyone on Team8s was exhausted. All the kids and parents alike were tired from days of hitting the slopes, and life started to flow back into its normal routine.

Thankfully, Coiny was recovering well from his concussion after resting in bed for a few days, and while he wasn't 100%, and could still be a bit sensitive to the environment, he was able to be up and about for the most part, which everyone was thankful for.

Thread was particularly excited to be back home. After begging her parents for weeks, they had  finally agreed to let Thread have her first sleepover. Flare was still away with her parents for their winter break, but Bookmark was available to come over for the night.

Book and Price Tag were ecstatic that their daughter was up to actually staying over at Thread's house for the night. Given how reserved of a girl she is, they were surprised that she had been open to the idea to begin with.

"Can you believe it Taggy!" Book was practically jumping up and down. "Bookmark is actually having her first sleepover!"

Price Tag faintly smiled, "The question is, will she make it through the night?"

Book, still brimming with excitement, waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, she'll be fine! It's Thread, and besides, I know her parents are going to make sure she has a good time." She paused, glancing at her wife. "Right?"

Price Tag raised an eyebrow. "I hope so. But we'll keep our phones close—just in case."

After Book and Price Tag finished gathering everything Bookmark would need for the sleepover, they finally got her and told her that it was time to head over.

"I'm scared." Bookmark said. "What if I start missing you guys?"

Book knelt down to her level, "Ask one of Thread's parents, they'll be happy to give us a call, and you can speak to us whenever you want, we promise!"

"Besides," Price Tag added, "You are going to have so much fun with Thread, you won't even have time to be sad!"

Bookmark faintly smiled. "Okay, I guess I'll try to have fun."

Book gave her a hug, "I'm sure you will, and if you're not, we can always come get you, Mimi and I would never force you to stay the night."

Bookmark got up, and started heading outside, "I think I'm ready to go."

Taggy was happy that Bookmark was giving this a shot, "That's the spirit, champ!"

Once the three of them got to Thread's house, they knocked on the door, and were treated by Pin.

"Why hello there, Bookmark!" Pin said, a smile across her face. "Come on in, Thread's really excited to see you!"

Bookmark headed inside, where Needle was ready to take her to Bookmarks room. Book stayed and talked to Pin a bit.

"I'm so glad we made this work," Pin exclaimed. "Is there anything she might need while she's here?"

Book smiled, "She might want to call me or Taggy, I told her she could call whenever she wanted! Otherwise, just give us a quick update when you can, it's her first time doing anything like this and I don't know how she's going to feel exactly."

Pin nodded, "Of course, we'll make sure she's comfortable!"

Price Tag smiled, "Thank you so much, call us if you need anything." The two left, hopeful that this sleepover wouldn't end in disaster.

Upstairs, Needle had just brought Bookmark to Thread's room to get this sleepover started.

"Oh Thread?" Needle said, while knocking at the door. "You have a visitor!"
