"Jaz, what are you being for Halloween?" I asked as we were sat in her bedroom. It's been ages since we've hung out as just us two, and I was loving every moment. "Oh, I'm going as a cat." She replied, sitting up. I nodded and then became curious. "What cat?" She seemed to catch on and laughed. "Just a black cat. I'm not being rude and going as a Cheshire, don't worry." She replied, I nodded and we went back to the movie. We were watching a movie called 'So Undercover' and it was really good.It had some swearing in it, but it's not like we were going to repeat it. Well, not in front of our parents anyway! (The movie is a real thing and Miley Cyrus is the main character. There should be a pic at the top of the DVD cover.)

I started throwing popcorn and catching it in my mouth, making Jaz giggle. "Hey, I wanna try!" She smiled, grabbing a handful of popcorn. We started doing stupid tricks with the popcorn after that, and ended up with half of it on the floor and in Jaz's hair! Ali came in when he heard us laughing and just rolled his eyes. "You girls should be asleep, it's ten at night!" He told us. He took some popcorn before leaving. Jaz and I looked at each other before falling into a fit of giggles. Rajah's cubs, Ria and Rorrie, soon joined us in the bedroom, so we all settled down and finished the movie. Ria was curled up on my lap and Rorrie was playing with Jaz's hair as she watched. I don't think we got to sleep until around two in the morning, but that was ok because I wasn't going home until seven that night anyway.

Jasmine came in and woke us up at 11:30 am the next morning. Genie was with her too, so I knew this wouldn't end well. I had been up for around fifteen minutes, but kept my eyes closed so they thought I was still asleep. Jasmine whispered something in Genie's ear, and soon I heard barking and elephant trumps. I screamed and so did Jaz, and we ended up hugging each other. Rorrie and Ria jumped up and 'protected' us, growling and swiping at the thin air. "Mum! That wasn't funny!" Jaz whined when we let go of each other and saw Genie whooping with laughter and Jasmine giggling like crazy. I picked up Ria and Rorrie and walked out with them, leaving those three to it. Ria just snuggled into my chest, but Rorrie was rolling around and playing with my hair. Smiling at them, I dropped them off to Rajah as I passed the room she was in, before going to eat breakfast.

"Morning, Charlotte. What was all the noise not long ago?" Aladdin asked me as I sat at the table. "Oh, Genie made dog barks and Elephant trumps sound out of nowhere and Jaz and I got scared so we screamed. Make sense?" I replied. He nodded and Ali came in with a smile. "How were the dogs, Char?" He teased. I smiled and pushed him playfully, but he made a big deal and fell backwards dramatically, making Aladdin and I laugh. "Get up, Ali. She didn't hit you that hard, you drama queen." Aladdin smiled as I helped the older boy up. Ali just smiled and answered his father with, "Drama just follows me." After that, the others came in and I saw Genie talking with his daughter, Jordan.

I love Jordan. She's really cool and reminds me a little bit of Uma and Gil in one. She's brave and doesn't care about others opinions, but she's also kind and can make you feel good in any situation. Speaking of Uma, I haven't seen her since that day at the prison, and I think she was released, I'm not sure. Maybe I should ask Dad later. Yeah, I'll do that. "Hello, earth to kitten?" Jordan's daughter, Gabriella, said as she waved a hand in my face. Her twin brother, Jason, was talking with Jaz as they ate. "Hey, tiger. Sorry, in a world of my own." I replied as we did our usual handshake. Gabbie's become one of my closest friends since I met her at Auradon Prep's Christmas party two years ago. Along with her, Jaz, Carla, Willow (I've called her Winnie, I'm so sorry!),  Talia (Tink's daughter), Miley, Hannah, Raven, Mckenzie and Meredith, we all have our own girls only club. I'm the leader of this group, with Jaz and Gabbie as the deputies for if I'm ill or can't meet up for some reason. It's a really good group, maybe you can join too if you want? Let me know in the comments!
