"Cleo!" Tahlia called out as she walked through the hallways, "Gosh dammit. Cleo! Where are you?"

It was December 31st at night, and the residents of House 6 have decided to spend New Years with the neighbourhood. Tahlia was already dressed in a formal knee-length, off-shoulder black dress with matching black heels, silver jewellery and her hair tied into a high formal bun. The girl passed Vivian who was in a formal knee-length teal dress. Vivian was busily re-checking the house for the fifth time for any errors in decorations.

"Hey Viv, have you seen Cleo?" Tahlia asked her housemate.

"Have you checked her room?" Vivian suggested.

"No, I haven't. Thanks, Vivs." Tahlia replied as she made her way to Cleo's room.

By the time she got there, she noticed the door was slightly open, like always. Tahlia sighed and opened the door, and to her horror, she saw...

"CLEO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

There, lying on the bed was indeed Cleo, still in her pyjamas and playing a video game on her tablet. The girl noticed Tahlia looking aghast for some apparent reason, so the younger female waved, "Uh.... hi Tahlia. How are you?"

"I'm doing fine," Tahlia replied, walking over to Cleo and sitting down on the edge of the bed, "But Cleo, the others are going to be here and you are still in your pyjamas."

Cleo groaned and turned off her tablet, "Can I skip the party for today and hang out in my room?"

"No Cleo, you need to get ready," Tahlia replied, standing up and walking to Cleo's closet. She opened the doors and searched around for Cleo's outfit, "Where is that nice pretty blue dress Vivian bought you?"

Cleo sighed and eventually showed Tahlia where the dress is. A few minutes later Cleo was already in her blue dress and is having her hair done by Tahlia at the vanity.

"I want to stay in my room."

"Everyone is going to love you in this outfit." Tahlia smiled as she brushed Cleo's soft brown hair, "Especially your best friend Sam."

Cleo frowned and instead stared at the mirror, "I don't want to see Vivian again for New Year."

"Why?"

"She always ruins it."

Tahlia sighed and put the hairbrush on the vanity counter. She got out the hairspray. "Explain."

"Don't you remember the last new years,  after we screamed Happy New Year?" Cleo pointed out, covering her mouth with her hand.

"Oh..."

-FLASHBACK TO LAST NEW YEAR-

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!" everyone (but Carol, Sabrina and Phoebe cause they aren't there) screamed as the fireworks went off.

"IT'S THE NEW YEAR!!!!!" Cleo cheered, jumping up and down in excitement.

"And what better way to start it by rules." Vivian smiled as she pulled out a scroll and opened it.

The scroll ended up touching the floor. Everyone else groaned at the sight.

"Come on Vivi, can't you cut down the rules?" Arlen asked.

"Nope. I don't want any stupidity happening for this year compared to the last few years which I made rules for which you guys never obeyed. You must follow these rules." Vivian pointed out. She cleared her throat, "Rule Number One: No setting things on fire. Rule Number Two: No sweets after dinner. Rule Number Three: No climbing on the rooftops-"
