Sleepover(Nicole)

[Elle Perry]

Elle did a once over of everything. Elle brought in a sound system and flat screen t.v. for the movie that night. Elle found in-homw theaters to be a waste of money because she didn't watch movies all that much. She had hooked up her Elle-ified iPod to the speakers and it was blasting A Milli by Lil Wayne. Elle loved rap and everyone found her strange for listening to it. She loved he rhyme and the beat. She started to dance around and make sure everything was in it's place. She heard a door bell ring. She ran out her room and to the door. Looking back at her was a smiling girl that Elle was so familiar with. She wound her arms around hr slender neck and said "Yay! You came, and with bags." she said suprisedly at Nicole's unusual extra baggage.

Nicole ran in on her bare feet, having slid off her flats at the front door. She knew all too well how meticulous the Perry's maid, Karmina, was and how she would chase you with a broom if you got any dirt in the house. Rumor had it the Perry's had taken her from an insanse asylum where she was hospitalized for her severe case of OCD. With her crazy cleaning habits, Nicole didn't doubt it, though it had yet to be verified. Reguardless of mental stability, thanks to Karmina, the house was always spotless.

Remembering the big orange bags that were cutting into her sloping shoulders, she immidiately let them slide off her shoulders and onto the big black bench that sat in the doorway. "You'll see what's in the bags" Nicole said, wiggling her eyebrows. "The truth is, I brought strippers, they're in the bags. Just kidding"

As she went to pick up the bags on of them moved. What was that? she wondered to herself. Nicole immidiately retracted her hand and ran over to Elle. "I think it's an evil spirit come to haunt us" She whispered into Elle's ear, half joking, hlf serious.

The bag rustled again and Nicole hugged Elle tighter. Whatever was in there, it probably wasn't good. Suddenly, a pair of white fuzzy ears peeked over the bag. Nicole slowly walked towards it. then she laughed.

"Cotton, you naughty bunny" She said, relieved it wasn't some spirit or bandit or masked murderer. "He must have gotten in her when I was packing the bags. It's okay that he's here, right?" She asked Elle.

[Elle Perry]

"Of course you know I love my baby bunny." she said cooing at Cotton. Cotton really wasn't a baby though. Nicole had had him since she was 11 and Elle treated him as her own. She picked up one of Nicole's bags and walked in the direction of her room. A milli had changed to Hey Mama by the Black Eyed Peas. Elle put down the bag and did a move that mimicked that of someone having a seizure. She loved music but she wasn't a fantastic dancer. She was good at Ballet but she was bad at hip hop or any other form of music that had a beat. "So what's in the bags?" she said excitedly. She loved suprises and Nicole always came up with the best ones. "We should go to Aspen for mid-winter break." Elle said happily. She hadn't been there since they were 15. After 15 they started going to the Virgin Islands and St. Barts. "My ski's are a little dusty though." she said laughing.

Nicole walked into the room and started dancing with Elle. That was something she loved about their friendship. They could be completely silly and look ridiculous, but everything was okay. Out in the real world there was so much pressure to be perfect. They had to sit a certain way, say the right thing, dress in certain clothes, but with each other, none of that mattered. As long as they were together, everything seemed ot be okay.

Nicole sat down on the plush carpet. She loved the way it smelled like Chanel No. 5. It had ever since they were five and had spilled a bottle of Mrs. Perry's perfme onto the carpet. Even after vigorous cleaning, the smell was still there. Many a day had been spent lying on the carpet and just talking.

"I'm glad you mentioned Aspen, becasue that has something to do wat's in this bag." Nicole said rustling the bag. Slowly she lifted one furry boot and then another. There were several pairs left in the remaining bags but she first pulled out a gray one. "I was flipping through an old issue of teen vogue from like three years ago and saw these boots. Aren't they so Aspen? You see, I wasn't kidding about brining bakc the whole vintage thing. iIwas thinking about something with like a real Kate Moss feel to it, you know?"

[Elle Perry]

"Okay if I didn't love you before I so love you now!" Elle exclaimed. The boots were gorgeous! "They are so Aspen. I bet no one even remembers these enough to even buy them." She was so excited that Nicole had taken a step forward in their new proclamation toward vintage-ness. "So do you think all of the girls should come? Daisy is a kick-ass skiir. It would also give us a secret place to meet and conference." Elle leaned in and whispered "In New York even the walls have ears." Elle let out a short giggle and went into the kithen. She pulled out 2 apple martinis that she had chilled for the night. "Two apple martinis with sugar around the rim." Elle said handing Nicole hers. It was their signature sleepover drink. She took a small sip from the glass and set it down on her end table. "Speaking of vintage we have to figure out our theme for the party. You know we are notorious for having the best ones. I was thinking a loft in Tribeca or something. Or maybe an old Chanel warehouse or something like that. It has to be impossible to top."

Nicole clinked her glass with elle's and then too a small sip before putting it down. "I think we should all go to Aspen, I actually kind of miss it. It's like the netitesis of New York, a total cowboy town." She said. Of course, it could have changed isnce the last time she'd been, but Nicole remembered the town for it's cute houses, great shopping, and of course the slopes. It was nice to escape from the skyscrapers and overly hairy cabdrives.

Nicole picked up a curler and wond her hair around it, and then unwound it. She found the snug little bristle's gentle tug on her hair, comforting. "I love the idea of an old warehouse, it's so vintage, it's perfect." she gushed. "And we could have everyone come in vintage. Of course, leave the decorating to someone else. It would be covered in crepe parper if I had to do it." Nicole laughed. While Nicole may have been able to put together adorable outfits, her skill for decorating a room din't really exist. That was alright thoguh, that was what decorators were for.

[Elle Perry]

Elle laughed at her best friends lack of decorating skills. "So true." Elle then thought back to her night with William. "Umm....you know I hung out with William the other day." Elle bit her lip and looked at the floor. "We kind of kissed at a club in SoHo." Elle wasn't telling the whole story but she wanted Nicole to inquire about the situation.

Nicole was surprised at her friend's out of the blue confession. She raised her eyesbrows expectantly, knowing there was more to the story. There was always more to the story.

"Go on..." Nicole urged. She thoguht about Will. There was certainly nothing wrong with him. They'd known each other since they were little, they all had and he wasn't a slimeball or bore, but he just didn't seem good enoguh for Elle. Then again, nicole thought to herself, Elle was her best friend and no one would probably ever be good enoguh for her in Nicole's eyes. Nonetheless, nicole was happy for Elle, as long as Elle was happy with this latest development.

[Elle Perry]

Elle looked at her best friend and sighed. She knew Nicky would never truly approve. "After we kissed.." Elle started slowly. "We went back to his house and almost had sex." Elle bit her lip and looked at the floor. She didn't know how Nick would react. She was just so unpredictable at times.

"So what about you and Mike?" She asked trying to change the subject. Everyone knew about their little bout in the park and those kids that had interrupted them. Wasn't her name Jacqueline,Jamila....O yea Jacqui. She knew Mike was a soft spot with Mike but she didn't know how soft it was.
