Requirements
At lunch, you, Payton, and Mia see Autumn looking tired as she walks around the cafeteria.
Autumn: ...
Danny: Hey, Autumn. You okay?
Autumn: What? Oh yeah! Just a little sleep-deprived. With my dad and Charlotte out of town on their honeymoon, I’ve been all alone... Every time I’m about to go to sleep, I hear a floorboard creak, and I get sacred that it’s a killer... or a ghost... or a mountain lion.
Payton: I’ve got ONE way to fix the problem... Sleepover at Autumn’s place!
Danny: Sounds like fun. What do you say, Autumn?
Time - 4 hours
Autumn: A sleepover sounds great! I DID just get the newest season of ‘Silly Little Gossips’ on Blu-Ray!
Mia: I’m SURE they’ll figure out who ‘B’ is this season. I just know it!
Autumn: Oh! And my stepmom gave me a bunch of her old designer dresses we can try on!
Mia: Ooh, expensive. I like it.
Payton: Slumber party fashion show!
Autumn: Sounds great! You’re all invited!
Mia: It’ll be a total girls night!
Danny: Uh... I think last time I checked, I still had my official Man Card in my wallet!
Payton: Sorry, Danny! I guess we’re just so comfortable around you...
Mia: But, hey, if you don’t want to hang out with three of the cutest, coolest, most popular girls at school...
Danny: Whoa! I never said that! I just... I mean... I’d love to come over!
Mia: That’s more like it.
After school, Mia and Payton jump into your car.
Payton: Party time!
Mia: Sounds good... but we shouldn’t show up to Autumn’s place empty-handed.
Danny: Good point! Let’s go pick up some snacks for the night. Then we’ll head to Autumn’s house!
Requirements
At the grocery store...
Danny: Did everyone get the snacks they want?
Mia: Strawberries and cream... check!
Payton: Hand-packed gelato... check!
Danny: Huge stack of teen magazines that I’m slightly embarrassed to buy... check!
Payton: Sounds like we’re all set! Next stop, Autumn’s house!
A few minutes later...
Autumn: There you are! Come on in! The house is all ours! Er, except for Charlotte’s office. The one rule they left me was not to let anyone back there. Charlotte has some SUPER expensive shoes that she doesn’t want anyone touching.
Danny: No problem!
Payton: Yeah, let’s get this party started!
A couple of hours later...
Payton: OMG! Mia! You look like a fashion model or something!
Mia: I can’t believe Charlotte gave you these dresses, Autumn! Coolest. Stepmom. Ever.
Autumn: After we finish watching ‘Silly Little Gossips’, there’s a Jane Austen movie marathon on TV... including three different versions of ‘Mansfield Park’!
Danny: Sounds like we’ve got the rest of our night figured out!
Just then, the doorbell rings.
Autumn: Huh. I wonder who that is.
You jump up and head over to answer the door.
Danny: Oh, wow! It’s...
Requirements
A big group of your classmates are at the door!
Kyle: We overheard you saying earlier that there’s a PARTY going on over here!
Brandon: A party? Democrat or Republican?
Joshua: I brought a couple of game consoles, and plenty of controllers to go around!
Julian: And Nishan brought a karaoke machine! Who’s ready to hear me sing some Black Keys?
Nishan: Not before I break out some Pharrell!
Danny: Uh... Autumn? Is this okay?
Autumn: You know what...
Time - 7 hours
Autumn: You know what... sure! Come on in, everyone!
Soon enough, the party is in full swing...
Nishan: ...for my next song, I’m going with one of our generations’s finest musicians... Weird Al Yankovic!
Julian: Who wants pizza? I’m ordering pizzas!
Joshua: ...good game, everyone! Who wants to be the zombies next round?
Kyle: Who wants to see me jump into the pool?
Autumn: I don’t have a pool!
Kyle: Huh. That’s going to make things a little tougher...
Brandon: Woo hoo! I haven’t had this much fun since election night!
Autumn: Danny! There you are! Do you think everyone’s having a good time? I’m a little worried because we’re running out of ice. Do we need more ice?
Danny: I think everyone’s having a blast! Try to have fun, okay?
Autumn: Heh... okay. I’ll try. I just want to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves!
Danny: They are! Trust me! Now come on... Nishan’s about to start singing. Let’s go listen!
A few minutes later...
Payton: Okay. That song was officially the weirdest song I’ve ever heard! Is your throat okay, Nishan?
Nishan: Are you kidding? I sang it exactly like Weird Al!
Mia: Exactly!
Autumn: Hehe. This IS fun! It’s so nice to have people over. I’ve been so...
Just then, the doorbell rings again!
Danny: Are MORE people showing up?
Requirements
A large group of people is assembles outside!
Sarah: Is this the line to get in? It seems like the whole school is here!
Nalo: I’ve seen bigger lines. But that was for a new kebab fusion food truck in the city. You probably haven’t heard of it.
Madison: Hey, Autumn! The whole art club is here! We assumed that’s okay, right?
Katherine: And I’m here with some friends from Athena! More girls are always welcome at a party, right?
Autumn: Uh... yeah... the more the merrier, right?
People start filing into Autumn’s house.
Payton: OMG! Look over there at the end of the line... I can’t believe SHE’s here!
Time - 8 hours
Danny: Who’s here, Payton?
Payton: It’s my sister... and HER sisters!
Danny: I’m suddenly confused. Wouldn’t those be your sisters?
Payton: I’m talking about her sorority sisters!
Nalo: You know you’re doing something right when college girls show up at a high school party!
Sarah: This is like something out of a movie!
Madison: Great party, Autumn! The art club is proud to have you as a member!
Soon, music is blasting from the living room as more people pour into the house!
Autumn: I’m pretty sure I don’t know half of the people here...
Danny: I guess on the bright side that means you DO know the other half... right?
Autumn: I guess so...
Autumn: This is starting to feel like a mistake. I know I wanted people over... But not THIS MANY people!
Danny: It’s okay! These things tend to self-regulate... When a party gets too crowded, it’s less fun, and people start to leave... right?
The doorbell rings again!
Autumn MORE people are here?
Requirements
You and Autumn rush to open the door!
Berry: Autumn, what’s up homegirl? Hook me up with some Flamin’ Hot Cheetos!
Nate: Oh man, this is Autumn’s party? Nice! Hey, Autumn, you gotta paint a custom deck for my board! Everyone knows your art is where it’s at!
Autumn: I’m actually more into photography...
Hsin: Whoa, guys, quit crowding her! Sorry about these two, Autumn, they’ve got no respect for other people’s emotions.
Autumn: Yeah, it’s no problem. Are there any, uh, more people coming with you?
Hsin: Nah, this is our group. We did see some other guys on the way, though... it looked like they were maybe college age?
Just then, Hsin is shoved aside as Jack Carver and his posse of college guys show up!
Jack Carver: Have no fear, ladies and gentlemen, the party has ARRIVED!
Time - 6 hours
Jack Carver and his friends push past you into the house and strut onto the dance floor!
Jack Carver: What’s with this R&B? I can’t rock out to this!
Nate: Good thing I never leave home without my favorite ska mixtape!
Jack Carver: That’s more like it! You got good taste, kid!
Nate: Thanks, man!
Jack Carver: All right, who wants to see how many of these appetizers I can catch in my mouth?
Berry: I DO!
Jack Carver: All right, you got first toss! Hit me with one of those jalapeno poppers!
Berry lobs a jalapeno popper into Jack’s mouth! Jack cheers, his mouth full of half-chewed popper!
Jack Carver: Yeah! Twenty points!
Autumn: I think I’m going to be sick.
Jack Carver: Okay, who’s up next? Hey, emo kid! Yeah, you! I’m thinking Italian... gimme some of that Caprese salad!
Hsin: Okay, here goes nothing...
Hsin throws the Caprese salad toward Jack... and misses! The Caprese salad sails over his shoulders and splats against a picture of Charlotte in her wedding dress! The mozzarella and tomato slide down the glass front of the picture frame, leaving a greasy trail of olive oil!
Jack Carver: PARTY FOUL!
Danny: Uh oh...
Autumn: Let’s go get some paper towels...
You and Autumn are getting paper towels from the kitchen when Payton and Mia run in!
Payton: Autumn! Bad news!
Autumn: What now?
Mia: That idiot Jack Carver disappeared with one of Payton’s sister’s sorority sisters!
Payton: We have to find him before he causes any more problems!
Requirements
The four of you comb the crowded house in search of Jack Carver... to no avail!
Payton: He’s not in the living room...
Mia: He’s not in the kitchen, either.
Danny: Maybe he left!
Payton: I hope you’re right! Did we check ever room?
Autumn: Oh no! Charlotte’s office! We didn’t check Charlotte’s office!
Time - 7 hours
The four of you bust into the room to find Jack using Charlotte’s computer with one of the sorority girls sitting on his lap!
Mia: What the heck are you doing in here?
Jack Carver: Uh, we’re obviously using this webcam to take pictures of us making out, what are you doing in here?
Payton: Ew, you are so weird!
Jack Carver: You’re the weird ones for barging in on us like that! Here, let me show you the door!
Jack gets out of the chair and starts to walk around the side of the desk when you hear a terribly CRUNCH!
Jack Carver: What the...?
Autumn rushed behind the best to see what Jack stepped on...
Autumn: Oh no... no no no no no...
Danny: What is it, Autumn?
Autum turns to show you a fancy designer shoe... with the heel snapped clean off!
Mia: Are those... Givenchy heels?
Autumn nods, her eyes filling with tears, then whirls on Jack.
Autumn: That’s it. I’m kicking you out.
Jack Carver: Hey, it’s just a...
Autumn: Shut up! Get out of my house RIGHT NOW!
Jack Carver: All right, all right, say it don’t spray it... sorry, babe, I guess we’re not wanted.
You and your friends shoo Jack out the front door and return to Autumn.
Payton: Jack’s gone, Autumn. Want to go see what everyone else is up to?
Autumn: No... honestly, I just want everyone to leave. I’m sorry, I just...
Danny: We understand. We’ll go clear everyone out.
Requirements
You, Mia, and Payton ask all of the partygoers to leave. Payton hugs her sister goodbye. As the guests file out the front door, you look around the house and sigh. Autumn’s house is strewn with discarded soda cans and snacks.
Mia: I am NOT looking forward to cleaning this up.
Danny: Maybe we should check on Autumn first. It’s not like the house is going to get any dirtier...
Time - 8 hours
You, Mia, and Payton find Autumn in her room, cradling the broken shoe. The three of you squeeze onto Autumn’s bed.
Autumn: Hey, guys.
Danny: Everything okay, Autumn?
Autumn: Not really.
Danny: Yeah, I guess that was a silly question. Are you worried about the shoe?
Autumn: Yeah. But it’s not just that... it’s just been a bad week all around, really. I feel like... like Charlotte and my dad were really relieved to get out of the house and go on their honeymoon.
Payton: What do you mean?
Autumn: Well, they’re trying to build this whole new life, and I think they wish I was already in college or something. Just so I wouldn’t be in the way...
Danny: Autumn...
Autumn: And now the house is a mess, and these stupid heels are ruined, and Charlotte’s definitely going to hate me!
Mia: Oh, Autumn... no one could ever hate you!
Danny: I’m sure Charlotte will understand if you explain it to her.
Payton: And even if she doesn’t, we’ll always be here for you.
Autumn: Thanks, guys. I’m sorry I threw everyone out and ruined the party... I didn’t mean to spoil everyone’s night.
Danny: Are you kidding? We came over to be with you, remember?
Payton: Parties are great and all, but nothing beats quality time with my bestie!
Mia: That was pretty corny, Payton.
Autumn: It was. Sometimes it helps to hear the corny stuff, though. Thanks, Payton.
Mia: I hate to be a killjoy, but we should probably do something about this mess...
Danny: Oh, right...
Just then, you hear voices from the living room.
Autumn: Who’s that? I thought everyone left...
You and your friends creep toward the living room and peer out from behind the hallway door...
Danny: Maybe you’re being robbed, Autumn!
Payton: Should I call the police?
Requirements
Maddie and Jeff walk in from the kitchen!
Maddie: Hey, Brandon can you bring out some more garbage bags?
Jeff: And maybe some wipes? Someone spilled soda all over the floor here...
Brandon: One garbage bag and a box of wipes, coming right up!
Time - 10 hours
You and your friends enter the living room, wide-eyed.
Autumn: Have you guys been here this whole time?
Jeff: Didn’t you notice me? I was one of the first to arrive!
Autumn: But you don’t have to clean! I can handle it, really!
Maddie: Hey, don’t worry about it! You hosted the party, right? Just relax!
Brandon: Yeah, we’ve got this under control.
Mia: Great, well, I guess I’ll see you all later, then!
Maddie: Actually, Mia, the coffee table looks a little grimy... think you could lend us a hand?
Mia: Yes, of course...
You all grab cleaning supplies and help Maddie, Brandon, and Jeff clean the house!
Autumn: Thanks so much, you guys! The house looks even better than when Charlotte and my dad left!
Payton: I just wish there was something we could do about the Givenchy heels...
Mia: Maybe there is! We could try to replace the heel with one from a different shoe...
Danny: Or maybe we could put our money together and try to buy a replacement pair?
Autumn: Thanks, guys, but I think it’d be better if I just told Charlotte the truth. I don’t want to get off on the wrong foot with her...
Maddie: Ha! Nice one, Autumn.
Autumn: What?
Brandon: ‘Get off on the wrong foot’? Get it? Since it’s a shoe...
Mia: Ugh...
The next day at school, you’re sitting with Mia and Payton when Autumn pulls up a seat at your lunch table.
Payton: So, are Charlotte and you dad back from their honeymoon?
Autumn: Yup.
Danny: Was Charlotte upset about the shoes?
Autumn: Actually, she was pretty cool about the whole thing. I guess she gets a lot of stuff through work, so she didn’t pay for them or anything... She even promised not to tell my dad about the party!
Mia: Whoa! She sounds like a keeper!
Autumn: Yeah, it’s actually pretty nice to have someone to talk to about stuff... I mean, my dad’s great, but there’s a lot of things I can’t really discuss with him.
Payton: Aw! You and Charlotte should have a girls’ night out!
Autumn: I don’t know about that, but I definitely want to do something nice for her...
Danny: Well, if you ever decide what you want to do, you know we’ll be there to help!
Autumn: Thanks, Danny. That means a lot.

Autumn: Actually, she was pretty cool about the whole thing. I guess she gets a lot of stuff through work, so she didn’t pay for them or anything... She even promised not to tell my dad about the party!
Mia: Whoa! She sounds like a keeper!
Autumn: Yeah, it’s actually pretty nice to have someone to talk to about stuff... I mean, my dad’s great, but there’s a lot of things I can’t really discuss with him.
Payton: Aw! You and Charlotte should have a girls’ night out!
Autumn: I don’t know about that, but I definitely want to do something nice for her...
Danny: Well, if you ever decide what you want to do, you know we’ll be there to help!
Autumn: Thanks, Danny. That means a lot.
