"This is one weird ass party." Phoebe commented as she and Toby looked at the kids who were dressed like characters from a children's book.

"Why are we here again?" Toby asked.

"They're a lot of cute guys who go to such parties....duh." Phoebe said and Toby nodded with his mouth in the shape of an 'o'.

"The guys here aren't that cute." Martha rolled her eyes.

"What about us?" Markus asked pointing between himself, Zac and Samar.

"My point exactly." Martha smiled giving Toby a high five.

"You think I'm cute right Aliyah?" Markus asked the short girl.

"I'll give ya a nine out of ten." Aliyah smiled.

"What about us?" Samar whined.

"I'll give you both an eight out of ten." Aliyah shrugged.

"Feeling generous are we?" Zoe smiled at her friend who just rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Okay so are we all gonna be standing here in the kitchen the entire time or are we actually going to party?" Chloe asked the group.

"Honestly, I'm good here. These people are weird." Naomi said looking at the people dancing.

"Did you just say weird?" Zoe smirked.

"Don't you dare. I swear if you-" Naomi's warning was cut short when Zoe dragged her towards the dance floor.

"You wanna dance?" Markus asked Aliyah who nodded making Zac frown a bit.

The party went on for hours with people drinking, dancing, playing and having an all-around good time. The house got really hot so most of the kids were outside.

"I have a question for you two." Zac said pointing at Naomi and Martha. Martha resting her head on Naomi's shoulder.

"What McGregor?" Martha sighed.

"Why do you two refuse to call me by my name?"

"I call you by your name." Naomi deadpanned.

"I mean why don't you call me Zac like everyone else?"

"I don't call guys by their first names unless they are my friends like Toby and Mark." Martha said frowning at the boy.

"I just prefer calling you Zachary." Naomi shrugged.

Zac sighed in defeat. He just couldn't understand the two cousins no matter how hard he tried.

"Hey look. They have guitars and drums over there." Samar pointed at the garage excitedly.

"Don't get too excited Reynolds, it's not like you know how to play them." Martha sassed making all the girls laugh.

"I know that. I also know that I can sing." Samar said sticking his tongue out at her.

"You're such a kid! Almost all of us here can sing by the way." Martha rolled her eyes.

"Wait you can sing?!" Zac and Samar asked the brunette with eyes as wide as saucers.

"Nope." Martha said popping the 'p'. "But Naomi can."

"Stop putting my business out in the street." Naomi mumbled to her cousin.

"What? You can sing along with Chloe, Markus, Phoebe, Aliyah and I think also Zoe." Martha shrugged.

"You can sing?" Zac asked Aliyah and she simply nodded.
