"Hey Davina, my favorite friend ever!"  Leslie says into the phone, this can't be good.  Leslie, Ann, and Ron are currently at the hospital with Andy who has just broken pretty much his whole right arm.

"Oh no what do I need too do?"  I ask hoping she doesn't want me too drive down too the hospital.

"You see I really need too stay here with Andy since he won't be able to pay his own bills, so it would be the best thing if you would go on stage and sing some kid songs?"  She tells me as more of a questions than a demand.

"Oh my God Leslie you owe me now."  I say seriously and hang up before she can protest.

"Adeline, let's go we have a show too put on."  I say an pull her too the stage, everyone has now stopped talking and is starring at us.

"Hello everyone I'm... Patty Parmesan and this is my good friend Charity Cheddar."  I say as Adeline gives me a weird look, then forces a smile as she glances at everyone watching us.

"Freddy Spaghetti couldn't make it today so we're gonna sing you guys some songs!"  Adeline says and begins singing if you're happy and you know.

"If your happy and you know it clap your hands."  Chris is the only person in the audience to clap.  "If your happy and you know it..."

"Clap your hands!  Hey kids it's me Freddy Spaghetti!"  Freddy comes out on stage and everyone begins cheering.

"Hey we thought you were playing in Eagleton?"  I ask glad that he can finally put me and Adeline out of our embarrassment.

"All I know is this guy showed up."  He stops and looks over at Ben then continues.  "Made me a much better offer, I am all about the money, baby." 

We walk off the stage as Freddy continues singing, Adeline walks over too get something too eat while I walk towards Ben.

"Why did you do this?"  I ask him smile.

"Well I'm not a monster, I want the kids too have their concert."  He says and looks back at where all of the kids are sitting.

"Ah, mean Ben has a soft spot."  We both laugh.

"Is that what you guys call me?  Mean Ben?"  He says feigning hurt.

"No, no, no."  I say and we both go silent again.

"Look, this is really great today but... There's gonna be a lot of pain ahead, Davina, we have too cut thirty two percent of the..."

"Woah woah, your talking too me like I'm Leslie, just stop for a minute and let's enjoy the fact that you provided a service for people, not a cut, and they love it."  I cut him off and smile at him.

"Biggest service was getting you guys too stop singing."  We both laugh again.

"Shut up."  I playfully push him then walk back too Adeline and Daniel, who are eating cotton candy.

"Let's go you guys, the concerts almost over."  I say and we all start walking too our cars, Adeline goes with me and we decide too pick up Blair.

"Knock knock!"  Adeline says as we both bang on Blairs door, most likely waking her up from a nap.  She door starts too open and we both push our way in, ready too watch movies all night and hang out.

"It's my house, so I choose, which means we aren't watching Harry Potter, losers."  Adeline and I sigh and wait for her too come back with her movies.

"We are having an 80's night and no one is gonna complain, she says as she throws down the movies on our legs, making her way too her kitchen too make popcorn.

We all snuggled up under a bunch of blankets on the couch and watched the movies, realizing that I could get used too lounging around our houses all day, since, who knows how long the government will be shut down for.
