Spencer and Ashley are freaking out. Ashley just can’t jump out the window and its obvious Paula is suspicious being the concerned mother she is.

"Ashley go in the closet!" 

"Ahh this is so stupid, we are just hanging out, you know.. as friends"

Spencer gives Ashley a stare, "You’re so right.. Why am I worrying so much?"

Paula starts turning the knob on the door. Spencer quickly pulls out a deck of cards and scatters them among her and Ashley. Paula walks in. "Spencer what’s going on in here?"

"GO FISH!" Spencer says as she slams her hand down on the bed laughing. "I can’t believe this! You’re telling me you have no 5′s!?" they both continue to laugh at their sudden game of go fish.

"Spencer!"

"OH! Mom you’re home early, what a nice surprise" she says as she smiles the biggest smile at her mother. Ashley cuts in with an even bigger smile, "Hey Mrs. C"

"Yeah surprise, surprise. Who said it was ok to have a friend over?"

"Ummm well I figured it was ok, Ashley was my ride home. Plus you haven’t met her yet."

With that Ashley jumps up off the bed and moves towards Paula sticking her welcoming hand out. "Hi, I’m Ashley Daives" Paula gives a weak shake with a unexpected reply, "You know, Ashley you should stay for dinner. I might as well get to know my daughters’ new friend."

"I’d love to!" Ashley says feeling excepted already 

Spencer has a weird look on her face by now. Since when is her mother so nice about friends being over on school nights?

"Well Spencer your father should be home soon so why don’t you girls come down and help me out with dinner."

"That sounds grea…" Ashley begins to say

"No its ok mom, we’re just gonna stay up here, do some homework." Spencer says slyly "Ohhh ok. Well i’ll just be downstairs if you need me" 

Paula walks out of the room.
Ashley looks back at Spencer.

"Your mom was being nice! And we don’t even have homework Spence, what’s the problem?"
