According to Mikey, the week passed by quickly. That Thursday, while they were playing house with Alicia again, Pete asked Mikey if he wanted to come over and play that weekend; a sleepover if you will.

Mikey was ecstatic. He was so unbelievably thrilled to be able to play at a friends house. His mother was excited, too, as Gerard was sleeping over at Frank's house again this weekend. She was going to take a much needed, well deserved, nap.

And Friday after school, Mikey rode the bus with one of Gerard's old backpacks full of his clothes and his toothbrush. He watched as they dropped off Gerard and Frank at the Iero residence and passed up Mikey's own house.

The bus stopped just after, Pete tapped on Mikey's shoulder and they piled out of the bus together. The chased each other to the Wentz's front door. Pete threw it open and pulled the shy Mikey in behind him.

"Nana, I'm home from school!" Pete yelled through the house. Mikey looked around their living room in awe. He looked at all of the pictures on the wall and admired all of the humming bird decorations hung around the house. It looked as if someone had been living here for years, not a week or two.

A small dark skinned lady came out of a room. Mikey hid behind Pete, not knowing who she was. Mikey knew not to talk to strangers. Pete ran up to the woman and jumped into her arms.

"Hi nana! This is my bestest friend Mikeyway and he is really cool see?" Mikey waved a little at Pete's nana. Pete's nana set Pete down and she bent over a little so she could see Mikey better. She smiled a little and stuck her hand out.

"Hello there, Mikey," she said sweetly. Mikey stuck his hand out too and shook her hand. "I'm Pete's Nana. You can call me Nana if you'd like to." Mikey smiled shyly and nodded. All of a sudden they heard a baby crying from... somewhere.

"Oh! That's Andrew. I'd better go take care of him. Pete, do you want to introduce your friend to Andrew?" Nana asked. Pete nodded quickly.

"Come on, Mikey! I want to show you my brother!"

Pete grabbed Mikey's hand and pulled him after Nana. They went into the room she had just came out of. Mikey looked around and took in what he saw. The room was a light blue colour with a bunch of baby toys every where. There was a crib next to a rocking chair and in the crib, was a crying toddler.

"Woah. I've never seen a baby before," Mikey said. Pete laughed.

"That's my brother. His name is Andrew. He likes to cry a lot. He is very dumb." Pete said. Mikey nodded.

"Does he always cry a lot?" Mikey asked as Nana picked up the screaming baby and sat in the rocking chair. Pete nodded as he and Mikey placed their hands over their ears.

"That's kind of aggravating," Mikey noted. Pete cocked his head to the side and squinted his eyes at Mikey.

"What's aggravating mean?" He asked as he led Mikey to the door. He shut it behind him and began to lead Mikey down the hall to another room.

"It means annoying. I know a lot of big words," Mikey explained. Pete nodded and opened a door on the right side of the hall.

"This is my room," Pete explained as he opened the door. Mikey gasped when he stepped inside. Pete had a XBox 360 and a really big TV like the one in Mikey's living room.

"Oh wow. This is a very nice room, Petey," Mikey noted. Pete nodded in agreement. He ran over to his shelf and picked up a dark green car, and showed it to Mikey. Mikey 'oohed' at the really cool car.

"See this? It's really cool. My dad got a box called, I don't remember, but he built this with it and now it's mine. He let me help him make it too." Pete held the car upside down and let Mikey examine the vehicle better.
