Emily fluffed the pillows on the floor, her excitement barely contained. Lucy and Mia arrived, carrying bags filled with snacks and games. "This is going to be the best sleepover ever!" she declared.
"I brought my new board game," Lucy said, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. Mia nodded while setting up her laptop for a movie marathon later.
Mia tossed a blanket over Emily, who giggled as she adjusted it around her shoulders. "Let's start with a game before the movie!"
"I agree! And then we can make sundaes," Lucy added, already eyeing the ice cream in the cooler bag.
Emily took her turn, her face a picture of concentration. "You're going down, Emily!" Mia teased, tossing a handful of popcorn into her mouth.
"We'll see about that," Emily retorted, rolling the dice with a mischievous grin.
"I can't believe we ate all the popcorn," Lucy said, her eyes wide with mock horror.
Mia chuckled, adding chocolate sauce to her sundae. "Good thing we have ice cream," she quipped.
Emily snuggled deeper into her blankets, her eyes glued to the screen. "I love this movie," she sighed contentedly.
Lucy nodded in agreement, her focus split between the movie and her melting sundae.
Mia whispered, "Tonight was amazing," just before drifting into dreams.
Lucy murmured a sleepy agreement, her voice barely audible in the quiet room.
Emily smiled, eyes closed, knowing these moments would be cherished forever.
