Sage put the finishing touches on her makeup, before she peeled off her comfy clothes and exchanged it for a revealing top and tight pants.

Avery had invited her to a party, and she really did miss her. She was there for every one of Sage's birthdays, and always texted to check in on her.

She figured she'd make an effort even if it was only an hour she was planning on staying. Sage grabbed her purse, and slid on her shoes.

"Where you going dressed like that?" Jacob asked, and Sage froze. She was now an adult, but that didn't stop the wrath of Jacob seeing his baby sister in little to no clothing.

"A party." Sage smiled, and Jacob raised his eyebrow. "I'll wear a jacket." Sage sighed, and Jacob nodded.

"Yeah, you will." He said, kicking his feet up onto the coffee table. "Bye, love you." Jacob called out, as Sage slammed the front door closed.

"Hey hottie! Get in!" Avery called out, and Sage smiled. Sage climbed into Avery's car, and she didn't waste any time speeding down the street.

"How the fuck are you? I missed you!" Avery exclaimed, smacking Sage's arm lightly.

"Oh you know..." Sage trailed off. How does one explain treasure hunting, being hunted by those in competition for gold, self administered house arrest for 8 months... blah blah.

"Well I'm glad you said yes, I'm excited." Avery said, turning into the gated neighborhood.

"Who's party?" Sage asked, hoping it was anyone but Topper.

"Tyler's." Avery said, and Sage gave her a look. "I know, I know. He's actually... docile recently. Not like him at all." Avery said, and Sage laughed.

"Sorry, but I cannot imagine that man being... docile." Sage laughed, as Avery parked the car down the street.

Sage grabbed her purse and jacket, and followed Avery towards the house.

"The girls will be excited to see you too. They've been non stop talking about you." Avery said. Her and Sage climbed the porch steps, and Avery let herself inside.

The music echoed throughout the house, Avery sliding past a few people. Sage followed closely behind, Avery making her way into the kitchen.

"Sage!" A voice squealed. Sage smiled, Madison making her way up to Sage with her arms out.

"Hi." Sage smiled, embracing her in a tight hug. "How are you?" Sage asked.

"I should be asking you, Miss treasure hunter!" Madison said, poking Sage in the arm. Sage laughed, shaking her head.

"Well, now we've got nothing to show for it." Sage said, instantly regretting it.

"Drink?" Madison asked, and Sage nodded. "You're a vodka girl, right?" Madison asked.

"I am." Sage said, taking the bottle from her hand. She took a large swig, needing to loosen up a little.

Tonight was going to be a fun night, Sage told herself.

Yeah, so much for that.

"Ayee, Topper in the house!" He called out, and Sage looked over at the door. Where there's Topper... there's Rafe.

And there he was. And there she was.

"Shit, Sage. I didn't know they were coming." Avery said, and Sage shook her head. She took another swig from the bottle, before she made her way into the living room.

"Get the fuck out. What the hell is Sage Brown doing at my party?" Tyler said, making his way up to Sage.

"Hi, buddy." Sage smiled, and Tyler wrapped his arms around her. "Heard you've gone soft?" Sage asked, and Tyler laughed.
