Rachel tucked the kids in and went out to the living room. Mandy, Seth & Kieran were coming over for game night, so she thought she'd invite Julie over as well.
She dialed Julie's phone number.
"Hey Julie? It's Rachel. I was just wondering if you wanted to come over for game night tonight?"
Julie
"Sure," Julie replied. "Bobby's busy with school work so he is so not fun tonight, and all is good now that we have Olivia. When is it starting?"
Rachel
"Well, we usually say 7, which means people don't get here until 7:30 or 8," Rach said. "And it'll be good, the girls won't be outnumbered by the guys."
Julie
"Damn," Julie joked. "I like having a lot of boys to choose from."
She giggled.
"Kidding. I'll see you then."
Rachel, Mandy and Seth
Kieran was the first to arrive, as he lived in the same building. Mandy and Seth arrived a little later.
"We all here?" Seth asked.
"Nah, we're waiting on my friend Julie."
"Julie, have we met Julie?" Seth asked.
"No," Rachel shook her head. "I don't believe so. She's not famous or anything."
"Groovy," Mandy said. "I'm gonna break into the snacks." She went into the kitchen and grabbed a bag of chips.
Julie
Julie knocked on the door. It was kinda novel to have a night not at home, not looking after the kids and not programming, designing something or bug fixing.
Macauley
Mac opened the door.
"Hey Julie," He said, shaking her hand. "Come in." He welcomed her inside. "Everyone, this is Julie. Julie, That's my brother Kieran, and this is Seth Green and Mandy Moore."
Julie
Julie raised her eyebrows.
"Such presigious company," she murmered, then louder: "Thanks for inviting me."
Seth, Rachel and Mandy
"Julie!" Seth called out. "I've heard so much about you! And by so much, i mean absolutely nothing at all!"
"I told you I had a friend named Julie. She's the one with all the kids," Rach said.
"Oh! That Julie! The girl who's almost as slutty as Rachel!"
"Way to insult the new girl," Mandy said, coming back from the kitchen with the chips, and smacking Seth in the back of the head.
"Ignore him. He's used to it," Mandy said.
Julie
"Almost as slutty?" Julie pouted. "Okay, admitedly I'm being the faithful wife now, but y'know, before that I was a slut machine. No one could out-slut me."
She eyed Rach as if she was a rival, but was grinning to show she was just messing around.
Rachel, Many, Keiran and Mac
"I have a feeling that Julie's slept with a lot more guys than I have, Besides, she has 6 kids, and I'm only having my 4th. Especially since I've only been with, like, 8 or 10 guys."
"Am I the only virgin here?" Mandy asked.
"Probably," Keiran said. "Granted, I've only slept with one person and that's my ex-girlfriend."
"I find it interesting that every time Julie shows up, everyone starts talking about sex," Mac said, laughing. "Not that I mind. It just amuses me."
Julie
"It's because I eminate with sheer sexiness," Julie explained with a nod. "Also, I too have been with 8 or 10 guys. At the same time."
She beamed at them.
"So, we going to play? Or do I get to tell you the stories of my exploits? Which really ticks off Day, but I just think that's because she's not getting any."
Rachel and Seth
"Well, I was thinking Pictionary," Rachel suggested. "It's a good game, and involves teams. But you can keep talking while I get the game out," she joked.
"I certainly wouldn't mind hearng more," Seth grinned.
Julie
Julie's face lit up.
"You do? That's awesome! No one ever wants to hear them!"
She grinned broadly, then contemplated her first story.
"Well, let's see, there was the time that I met these hot identical twin boys. Yeah. They did everything together. And I mean, everything."
Rachel, Keiran, Mandy and Mac
"At this point, i will stop you," Rachel declared, "Because, as the mother of twin boys, I do not want to hear such things, and you shouldn't either," she pointed out to her friend.
"Incest is not best," Keiran declared.
"Hey, I;ve seen some of the fanfic written about the two of you," Mandy said, pointing to Keiran & Mac, which caused them both to protest their disgust loudly.
Julie
"I never said anothing about incest," Julie replied. "Dirty, dirty minds. But moving on. Fanfic was fun. I once wrote some erotic fanfic about Zac. Except it would be more accurately called 'fan non-fic'."
She chuckled. The deviant.
Mac, Keiran, Rachel, Seth and Mandy
"So Pictionary," Mac vetoed, "I'm afraid of the dirty pictures Julie might draw. Let's play RISK."
"Sounds good to me," Keinan said, "I'm always good for whupping your butt at Risk, and all six of us can play."
"I'm up for it," Rachel said, "You guys?" Seth and Mandy nodded. "How about you, Julie?"
Julie
"Sounds good to me," Julie replied.
This was nice. An evening out without the kids.
