***NOTE: Max and Ruby have parents in this version named Matt and Sara***

"This sleepover will be awesome Louise!" "Yes Ruby, I can't wait!" Ruby and Louise were planning their BIG sleepover. "It will be held on Saturday night!" Ruby declared. "We have to tell Valerie!" Remembered Louise. "Yes we do!" Ruby called Valerie and explained to her about the big sleepover. "Of course I will come!" Valerie said excitedly. Ruby hung up the phone. "This will be great!" she thought aloud to herself.

"Ruby please set the table!" Her mother called. "Yes mom" Ruby said disappointed. "Thank you dear" Ruby set the table and sat down. Meatloaf. Again. Ruby sighed. She saw her father caring Max down the stairs, Max had Autism. "Come on Max, you have to eat." "NO." Said Max stubbornly. "You have to eat Max, for go-" "Ruby stop" Sara scolded. "Sorry." Ruby said sullenly. Ruby often wished she had a normal 5 year old brother. Max could only speak 1 word at a time. Once dinner was over, Max waddled up to his room, Matt went up to take a bath, and Sara went into the living room to listen to radio. Ruby followed her mom, she sat down on the couch next to her. "Mom," She began. "Yes?" "Louise and Valerie are still staying over right?" "Yes Ruby, but you know the rule, you must include Max." Ruby almost threw up inside her mouth. Max?! How was she supposed to include Max. "Yes Mom" She said. But on the inside, she had to find a way to make sure Max would not be at her sleepover. Because in Ruby's mind, Max would ruin everything.
