Stars were shining in the sky as the three made their way to the treehouse.  Jackie packed a pillow only, not needing a blanket.  It was pretty warm out, and she wasn't sure if she would have even needed a blanket.  They reached the treehouse, Yeah-Yeah entering first.  Squints entered secondly, wanting to be the one to let everyone know that Jackie came along.

"Guys, we have a special guest today.  Come up, Jackie." Squints looked down at the opening of the treehouse where Jackie poked her head in.  Benny's eyes widened when he saw her, every time he asked her to come she declined.  He would never admit it to anyone, but he was happy that she was there.  He pretended like he didn't mind whether she was there or not.

"Jackie!  You're here!" Tommy jumped up and down, running up to Jackie and giving her a hug as soon as she climbed inside.  Jackie laughed and hugged the youngest member of the group.  Everyone cheered when they saw Jackie.  They all loved her like a sister, well, except for Benny.

"Where's Scotty?" Jackie asked when she didn't see him in the treehouse.  She was hoping he was allowed to go, afraid his mother would say he couldn't come.  It would be a good experience for him to have his first sleepover.

"He hasn't got here yet," Ham replied, setting up the s'mores.  Yeah-Yeah was the first to offer and help with the s'mores, sitting next to Ham.

"Why do you care?" Benny grumbled quietly, Jackie heard though.  She pretended like she didn't though, not bothering to ask why he was in such a bad mood.  She said down next to Squints which was, unfortunately, next to Benny.  She talked with Squints and Kenny until a voice was heard that didn't belong to any of them.

"Hey, guys, sorry I'm late.  My mom made me put on my jacket.  And then she made me do the dishes." Scotty explained, taking a seat across from Ham.  "Hi, Jackie." He waved at the girl, not expecting her to be there since she said she wouldn't be.  She waved back with a smile, not noticing the glare that Benny sent her.

"Your poor little mommy made you do the big, bad dishes." Bertram teased, shaking Scotty's shoulders. 

"Stop being immature, Bertram." Jackie whacked him with her pillow harshly, a few feathers coming out of it.  Ham scoffed at Bertram's behavior, feeling bad for Scotty.

"Hey, you want a s'more?" Ham offered, about to make him one.

"Some more what?" Scotty asked, never being given anything to have more of.

"No, no, you want a s'more?" Ham asked again, motioning to the food in front of him.

"I haven't had anything yet, so how can I have some more of nothing?" Scotty furrowed his eyebrows.  Jackie and Squints looked at each other and tried their hardest not to laugh.

"Scotty, I didn't know you were so uncultured." Jackie shook her head.

"You're killing me, Smalls," Ham said in disbelief.  It was beyond him that the kid had never heard of a s'more.
