Vera walks over and opens the door. "Look! You found the right place!" She smirks as the boys walk in.

"Of course they did. I told them where it was." Clara scoffs, coming into the doorway to say hello.

"Yeah, 'cause you're the best at giving directions. Remember when we went on holiday last summer?" Vera mentions.

"Don't remind me." Clara groans.

"Hey. How about we let the boys come get comfy?" Joanna calls from the living room.

"You boys hungry?" Chrissy asks from the kitchen.

That's when they all run into the kitchen, glancing around.

"Nice place." Niall says around whatever he's eating.

"It's very lovely, yeah." Liam says, grabbing one of the plates set out and filling it with stuff and walking into the living room.

Louis is spinning in Bianca's chair at the island.

"Louis! Grab some food and get over here!" Bianca shouts to him, amusement lining her voice.

Louis grumbles and listens.

"Wow. I've never seen him actually do that. Listen to a person." Harry slides next to Clara.

"Bianca can be very demanding when she wants. And there are moments where you really don't want to do something, but she will tell you to, and you just can't refuse." Clara laughs, grabbing herself some food.

"Did you want a plate?" Harry asks, quirking an eyebrow.

"Clara doesn't believe in plates. Unless it's something that really needs one." Vera responds, getting some stuff here and there.

Clara just shrugs, nodding.

"So you girls are all pretty close." Zayn sounds from the floor, where he's sitting next to Chrissy.

There are noises of agreement throughout the flat.

"Basically family." Clara grins.

"Except Clara and Vera. I think. Their relationship confuses me." Joanna is sitting between Chrissy and Liam.

"Please. Vera totally loves me." Clara says, batting her eyelashes in Vera's direction.

"That's disgusting." Vera tells her, even though she's obviously amused.

When everyone has food, they all are sitting on the little nest in the living room.

Zayn is on the end, and then it's Chrissy. Followed by Joanna, Liam, Niall, Vera, Bianca, Louis, Harry, and then Clara.

Clara decides to lay on her stomach, looking up at the screen.

All ten decide to watch Grease (movie brought by Louis) first.

At basically every song, they're all singing along.

"Greased Lightning" is when the boys go nuts. Louis and Harry stand up, doing all the moves with the characters.

It's all in all, a good time.

Especially when "You're the One that I Want" comes on, because Clara and Vera are making movements they came up with years ago, and laughing at each other every now and then.

When it's over, they all seem like one big crew.

"Well, that was movie number one. What next?" Chrissy says, from where she's almost laying on Zayn's shoulder.

"One of my personal favourites." Clara announces.

"It basically is your favourite, Clara." Vera looks at her, when Clara pops in the DVD.

The Ghostbusters theme plays, and Clara practically bounces in her seat.

"You really like this movie, huh?" Harry whispers, smiling.

Clara puts a finger on his lips, silencing him.

"As she would put it-" Bianca starts, and then all the girls join in.

"Speak and you die!" They laugh.

Clara glares and the boys laugh too.

They watch Ghostbusters in mostly silence, except for the laughter that's bound to accompany the movie.

When it ends, Clara is singing the song as the screen fades to black.

It's almost eleven.

"Should we watch another-" Zayn starts, but is cut off by a well-placed pillow to the face from Louis.

"What was that for?" He questions.

"What was WHAT for?" Louis looks as innocent as possible.

Zayn goes to throw one back, but it hits Bianca instead.

"Uh-oh. Guess who's in trouble now?" Chrissy smiles and nudges Zayn who attempts to apologise.

That's when the war starts.

There's pillows flying everywhere, and it's awesome.

Everyone vs. everyone.

At one point, Bianca trips and Louis catches her, lifting her back into the game.

She doesn't hit him, despite the clear shot.

Vera and Clara wap each other pretty good, and laugh after standing back up.

Even the "mature" people join in, working their pillows as weapons.

Clara, the girl with two left feet, trips and isn't caught. She tumbles into Harry, and sends them both to the ground.

There's a surprised "Oh!" coming from one of them.

Clara looks up, smiling slightly at Harry, who landed below her.

"Wow, Blondie, I wasn't expecting this." Harry pokes her side.

Clara laughs and squirms, rolling off him.

"Shut up." She tells him, smacking his chest with the pillow that's still in hand.

That's when everyone calls it quits and flops down. It's almost midnight now.

"I suppose we should be off then?" Liam says, from somewhere on the floor.

"You don't have to." Joanna tells them, her voice sounding oddly close to Liam's.

"Saturday is one of the busiest days at the shop." Niall groans.

"We'll show up to do some schoolwork, then. And get some coffee, obviously." Clara glances over to Harry, who is still smiling at her.

The boys all stand then.

"Great. Thanks for having us." Zayn voices.

"Bye ladies! See you tomorrow!" Louis waves.

"See you around, Blondie." Harry winks, reminding her of when they met.

Had it only been six days?

"You sure will, Curly." She replies.

When they exit out the door, the girls all squeal and stay up a few more hours talking about how fantastic the night was.

They fall asleep on the living room floor.
