lots of kissing :)

Sleepover at the Beldens

By Caroline

"Trixie, are you sure this is alright with your parents?" asked 14 yr old, hazel-eyed Honey Wheeler asked her best friend Trixie Belden.

"Positive! Asked Moms this morning she said that well she and Dad were gone that you and Di could sleepover and she also told Brian and Mart they could invite Dan and Jim. Hallie's inviting Di right now!" Trixie reassured Honey.

"Sure then! I'll ask Miss Trask later I'm sure that she'll say yes!" Honey squealed excitedly as the bell rang. Trixie and Honey walked into their math class and took their seats, Honey next to Trixie and behind Di and Trixie behind Hallie.

"Please be seated and work on the worksheets being passed around." Mrs. O'Neil their math teacher had hardly finished saying when Trixie's hand went flying up. "Yes, Beatrix?"

"May we work in groups?" Trixie asked quickly.

"If you must." Mrs. O'Neil answered. Trixie, Honey, Di, and Hallie quickly moved their desks into a group.

"Hallie, did you ask Di?" Trixie asked her cousin quietly.

"Yes and she has graciously accepted!" Hallie exclaimed.

"Hallie, must you disturb your classmates?" Mrs. O'Neil asked.

"Sorry, Mrs. O'Neil!" Hallie apologized.

"Stealing my job are we, Hallie?" Trixie joked.

"Not completely you don't see me writing I love Jim Frayne all over my notebook do you?" Hallie kidded.

"No I see you writing I love Dan Mangan all over it," Trixie teased.

"Well, he is the biggest hunk in the school." Hallie stated bragging about her boy-friend.

"Au contraire I believe you mean Brian." Honey giggled.

"I think you mean Mart," Di argued.

"There is only one biggest hunk in school and last I knew that was Jim!" Trixie said as Laci Andrews was walking by them and she stopped to disagree with them.

"I think we all know that my boy-friend, Nick Roberts is the biggest hunk sickle in this school but I have to agree with Di that Mart is a close second." Laci said.

"Since when are you and Nick going out?" Trixie asked.

"Since he asked me out this morning." Laci grinned.

"Congratulations Laci." Honey said politely.

"Thank you, Honey." Laci said as she walked back to her own seat.

"Everyone's pairing off now!" Hallie exclaimed.

"Yeah, guess what I heard Jennie (Di's younger sister) say the other day?" Di asked.

"What did she say, Di?" Trixie asked curiously.

"She and Annie, Larry and Terry had just come back from your house. She was sitting on my lap and I was braiding her hair while the boys were out back and Annie was downstairs practicing her violin and she told me that she thinks Bobby is cute," Di giggled.

"What is it with you Lynch woman and Belden men?" Trixie asked.

"I don't know we just find them intriguing." Di joked.

"Sound the alarms she's picking up Mart's big words habits!" Hallie warned.

"Well as long as she hasn't picked up his eating habits I think we're okay!" Honey teased.

"I wouldn't be so sure!" Trixie kidded.

Meanwhile in Science with Mart and Dan…

"Sure I'll sleepover!" said   Dan Mangan, brushing a lock of jet-black hair off his forehead.

"Great! I'll tell Moms when I get home!" Mart beamed.

"Hey guys, Guess what?" Nick Roberts asked as he took his seat on the opposite side of Mart then Dan was sitting on.

"What's the news, Nick?" Dan asked smoothly.

"I got a date with Laci Andrews!" Nick grinned.

"Way to go man! Guess who I'm going out with?" Mart said giving Nick a high five.

"Hmm…Diana Lynch!" Nick grinned.

"Yep! Of course, it took me three months to ask her out!" Mart blushed.

"Nick bet no-ones told you who I'm going out with!" Dan grinned.

"Trixie Belden?" Nick asked.

"No!!! My cousin, Hallie!! Like Dan would be stupid enough to go out with Trixie. I can't say the same for Jim though!" Mart said sticking out his tongue.

"So…Mart and Di, Jim and Trixie, Dan and Hallie…Who's Brian going out with?" Nick asked.

"Honey Wheeler!" Mart yelled before Dan could even open his mouth.

"So is Hallie a member of the Bob-Whites?" Nick asked.

"Yeah, her initiation ceremony was last night!" Dan said covering Mart's mouth with his hand.

"What's wrong is your friend to fast for you there, Mangan?" Nick teased.

"No usually unless of course by chance it's about Di!" Dan grinned.

"A flower blossomed right before my very eyes!" Mart said.

"Awww…Puppy love!" Nick teased.

"I would describe Hallie as gem with no other quite like it." Dan said his heart melting at the thought of Hallie.

"You to are done for and you've only been dating them for what a week at the most at least that's how long I've known Mart to keep something a secret!" Nick laughed.

Brian and Jim's Social studies class

"So it's settled you're staying over! Boy will Trixie be happy!" Brian said.

"I'm not sure I can handle it with your mom and dad and Bobby being gone! I mean us four guys and our girlfriends what are we going to do for games play spin the bottle?" Jim asked.

"I was thinking seven minutes in heaven!" Brian said.

"You may not want to talk about your love life in front of me especially since it includes my little sister," Jim said sternly.

"Yours includes mine and I have to threaten you to get you to stop talking her," Brian teased Jim.

"She's just so irresistible!" Jim groaned.

"Trixie? Irresistible? Yeah right! Now Honey that's a different story!" Brian laughed.

"You sound like Trixie when Di told her she was going out with Mart!" Jim stated.

"Dating Mart isn't very smart either but it's better then dating Trixie!" Brian teased.

On the bus home

"Hi Trix." Jim said sitting down and putting his arm around her.

"Hey Jim, are you sleeping over this weekend?" Trixie asked.

"Why, of course, when would I miss out on a chance to spend time with my special girl?" He said gently tugging on one of her golden curls.

"If Dot Murray came to visit!" Trixie teased.

"She could be running around me with nothing but a polka-dotted bikini and I still wouldn't take my eyes off your pretty face," Jim said flirtatiously.

"I would hope so!" Trixie said grinning.

"You are the only one I want, Beatrix Belden!" He said gently kissing her on the forehead.

"You are the only one that I want, James Winthrop Frayne." She said leaning her head on his shoulder.

Farther back on the bus

"Is this seat reserved for someone?" Brian asked.

"Of course for you!" Honey said seeing Brian.

"Well thank ma'am!" Brian said sitting down and having Honey cuddle up against him. God, she feels so good against me! Brian thought.

"Kiss me Brian!" Honey said quietly.

"Who am I to deny a lovely lady's request?" He said kissing her softly.

"Exactly!" Honey mumbled.

Even farther back on the bus

"Hello my dear!" Mart said seeing Di nearing him.

"There's my Prince Charming!" Di said leaning down and kissing him.

"So did you have a good day angel?" Mart asked thoughtfully.

"I aced my English test that you helped me study for!" Di said smiling.

"Well that's great princess!" Mart said hugging her tightly.

"It's all thanks to you!" Di beamed.

"My tutoring would have done nothing if you weren't so smart!" Mart said running a hand through her hair.

"Then since you insist Trixie's brain is pea-sized how would she ever learn, darling?" Di asked.

"And her brain is pea- sized! The only reason she is able to learn anything is because Jim tutors her!" Mart grinned.

Still farther back on the bus

"Hello Danny!" Hallie said seeing Dan making his way to the back of the bus.

"Hello sweetie!" Dan said sitting down and kissing her on the cheek. "How was your day?"

"Terribly dull without you!" Hallie grinned holding Dan's hand in hers.

"Well anything is terribly dull without me." He joked.

"You're right, Danny!" Hallie said tightening her grasp on Dan's hand. "So are you sleeping over tonight?"

"You'll be there right?" Dan asked with a grin on his face.

"Yep." Hallie replied.

"Then where else would I be? Where you go I go, what you want I want, when you suffer I suffer, when you're happy so am I." Dan recited.

"I'm happy right now." Hallie smiled.

 

4:00 pm Crabapple farm

Knock, Knock, Knock.

"I'll get it." Brian yelled as he made his way over to the door.

"Hello, Brian." Honey greeted him as he opened the door.

"Hello sweetie." Brian said taking her bags for her. "Here let me take your bags!"

"Thank you, Brian!" She said politely.

"You're quite welcome, Miss Wheeler!" Brian joked. While Brian was going up the stairs there was another knock on the door.

"I'll get it!!" Trixie screamed rushing down the stairs and knocking Brian right of them as she ran to get the door.

"Hi Trixie!" Jim exclaimed.

"Hi Jim!" Trixie panted.

Seeing Brian's position on the floor and Honey kneeling down next to him, he asked, "Are you okay Brian and why are you lying on the floor?" as he helped him up.

"Because Trixie knocked me off the stairs running to see you!" Brian said angrily glaring at his little sister.

"At least I know it was a good cause!" Jim laughed.

"Reminds me off the snowstorm!" Brian teased. "Jim! Jim! Are you alright? Oh, dear I just hope he's okay! Who cares if anything happened to Brian even though he is my smart and handsome older brother! Jim is just so adorable and handsome and kind and funny and I'll just kill myself if anything happened to him! Jim! Jim!"

"I wish I had knocked him harder off the stairs." Trixie murmured.

"So do I," Honey grinned. "Then I might have been able to give him mouth to mouth resuscitation!"

"Umm…Maybe I'll knock myself unconscious sometime!" Brian said leaning down to her and kissing her gently.

"Brian please!" Trixie groaned. "Do you know what kind of horrid mental images that puts in my head?"

"I don't know they seem kind of nice to me!" Honey giggled.

"Crossing the ick factor borderline!" Trixie moaned.

"I think I cross that border everyday with Brian!" Jim laughed.

"Come to think about it I probably cross it to much with Hallie to!" Trixie stated as yet another person knocked on the door just as Brian started making his way upstairs again.

"I'll get it!!!" Mart screamed running down the stairs and knocking Brian off his feet again. "Hello gorgeous!" Mart said flinging the door open taking Di in his arms and kissing her.

"Hello handsome!" She said hugging him tightly.

"You two are worse then Brian and Honey!" Trixie yelled.

"I'm making my way upstairs be sure to knock me off!" Brian yelled starting upstairs again.

"Hi where's Hallie?" Dan said sticking his head through the open door.

"Dan!" Hallie screamed running downstairs and knocking Brian off yet again. "I've been waiting for you!" she said kissing him.

"Hello Hallie!" He mumbled kissing her.

"I'm going to the living room!" Trixie said angrily storming into the living room with Jim following close behind.

"I'm getting an ice pack!" Brian said rubbing his head.
