"Are you serious, Bree?" Meiry asked, getting giddy.
"Hell yeah girl!" Brianna giggled.
"That's the shit...are you serious about this, I mean, do you really want me to go? Will they mind?"
Brianna laughed, reaching behind the seat to get her cell phone. She punched in AJ's number that she had transferred onto her hand. She waited for a ring and someone to pick up.
"Aloha, this is AJ's personal phone-picker-upper person, Sweet D. If you would like to speak with AJ, say I. I will now pause."
"I," Brianna said, trying not to laugh.
"If you would like to continue, please say e-i-e-i-o."
"E-i-e-i-o," Brianna repeated.
"Oink."
Brianna burst out laughing.
"Sorry, hey, AJ here."
"It's okay, that dude was flippin' funny."
"Oh it's you!" AJ teased. "That was Howie. What's up?"
"Hang on," Brianna said. AJ heard, 'Bree, what the hell are you doing? NO! I don't want the phone! No! I don't even know him! BRIANNA LYNN, I swear to God I'm gonna shoot you. Fine, gimme the damn thing!'
"Hey," a new voice said.
"Hi," AJ said carefully.
"Brianna made me get on the phone...I don't know why. My name's Meiry. Here, I'm gonna put Bree back on."
"YOU SUCK!" Brianna said before taking the phone. "Hey J."
"Wow, awfully talented little girl you are, you can rhyme!" AJ gasped.
"Yep, that's me. Anyway, that was Meiry. I was wondering...could she tag along-"
"TAG ALONG?" Meiry screeched, staring at Brianna.
"Okay, could she come with us on Thursday?"
"As long as she isn't a teenie-bopper..." AJ trailed off.
"Meiry, are you a teenie-bopper?" Brianna asked, grinning.
Meiry screamed, "OHMIGOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AJ, PLEASE MARRY ME!"
"Dude my ears are dying!" AJ moaned. "Yes she can come."
"All right, kickin'," Brianna said enthusiastically. "So see ya Thursday if I don't talk to you again, 'kay?"
"Yup, see ya!"
The both hung up before Bree said, "Meiry, you had better not have plans for Thursday."
