What Happens on Girl's Night, Stays on Girl's Night

Chapter 19

Elizabeth gasped as she came down the stairs. Balloons and streamers were tied on every available surface. She burst out laughing as Jan and Jenny sat in recliners next to three lounge chairs that had been moved in. Laying on the chairs were the blow-up dolls of her friends making the whole scene appear rather obscene. Jan sat next to Nell the naughty nurse. The nurses cap had been placed at a roguish angle on top of its head. The doll held a fake syringe and the picture was of her friend winking while sticking out her tongue. Jenny sat next to Lauren the sexy cop. Her cap was placed with the brim hanging low over one her friends crossed eyes. In one hand was a pair of pink fuzzy handcuffs in the other was a blow up billy club like the kind children win at the fair. The couch had been left open for Elizabeth and Addison and next to it sat Courtney the dominatrix. Her black latex outfit was covered in shiny silver studs and a black fuzzy boa had been made into her whip. Her picture had been taken from an overhead angle making her forehead and glasses larger than the rest of her face.

Honestly, she hadn't taken a very good look at them the night she had gotten them but to see them in all their glory now had her doubling over in hysterics. The time and detail they had added to each one was truly amazing. Man, she really hoped that Mason didn't make a surprise appearance tonight. As she walked into the room wiping away the tears that had formed at the corner of each eye, she looked at the spread of goodies upon the coffee table. There was a plethora of different snacks covering anything one could want. There was salty, sweet, spicy, warm, cold, crunchy, and soft. It was a smorgasbord of the worst foods possible one could consume, and she was in heaven. Beside the table sat a cooler with a choice of soda, water, beer, or wine. It was absolutely amazing.

Elizabeth spun around to thank them for the surprise and came face to screen with two gigantic flat screens hanging on the wall across the room. One of them the screen was bright blue waiting for whatever was planned. There was a full surround sound hooked up to it that she was sure was going to shake her windows with the bass. Thank goodness she lived too far away from her neighbors for this to be a problem. On the other screen the faces of her three friends looked at her smiling mile wide smiles each. Sitting next to them on the screen was her French maid blow up doll complete with feather duster and little lace cap. Her face was frozen in a perpetual monkey face making her snort at the sight.

"Surprise!" All six women yelled out together making Elizabeth squeal in delight. Tears sprang to her eyes in joy for all they did for this mini celebration.

"We were not going to be left out of the fun this year and were trying to decide what to do when we got a call from Jan." Jan brought her fingers to her head in salute as they all turned to look at her.

"How did you get the numbers?"

"You gave me Lauren's number the other day remember?" She did indeed but hadn't realized that she would keep it for future reference but secretly was glad she had.

"How is all that going by the way." Addison directed her question to the screen looking straight at Lauren.

"Better then expected. The kids had a blast at the restaurant. He had several surprises waiting for us when we arrived to which just made their day. There's been constant coverage on the case which has caused a petition to appear against all of the foster families ever getting another youth in their care. It is looking like the judge it was brought before is going to swing his verdict in favor of public opinion on this one. I have to admit when I met your friend Mikey, I was a bit of a skeptic of his skills."
