Saundree walked into the room and saw the twins reading and Claressa sitting next to them. "Watch'ya doing?" she said. The twins showed her the book cover. "Oh, those are good books. Especially in number thirteen, right after the wrath of the Lamb earthquake, when Ryan-" she stated. Shhhh!" the twins said together. "Sorry." Saundree responded. "Saundree, guess what?: Claressa said excitedly. "What?" Saundree questioned. Claressa gestured toward the twins and made the sign for Jesus then for Savior. Saundree smiled and went to hug the twins.
"Sorry we were such jerks at dinner." Ryan said. Claressa put an arm around him. "You weren't jerks. You just hated the thought of being away from Mom and Dad." Claressa said. "Yeah, but we were selfish." Sharpay said. "Maybe a little." Claressa said. "But you had a right to be." Saundree said. The room was silent until Claressa spoke. "Well, they can say anything they want about you two but one thing they can't say is that you don't know when you've done wrong." she said. The twins smiled. Sharpay looked at the door and saw here parents walk by. "We'll be right back." Sharpay said. She got up and went out the door, dragging Ryan along with her.
"Hi, Mom!" Ryan said. "Hi, Daddy!" Sharpay said. "Hi sweaty!" their mother said. "We stormed out of the restraint so fast we never asked when you're leaving. Sharpay said. "We're leaving Monday." their father said. "Yey! We get to spend the whole weekend with you!" Ryan said. "The whole weekend?!" Claressa and Saundree said from the door way. "Yep, and we thought we could do something." their father said. "What?"
"You want to go the fair Saturday?" their mother said. Claressa and Saundree were of course speechless, but Sharpay and Ryan were babbling, jumping up and down and picking up each others sentences. "The fair?" Sharpay said. "Like with the rides?" Ryan picked up, thus starting the babbling,
"And the home-made jewelry?"
"And the animals?"
"And the elephant ears?"
And the corndogs?"
"And the pizza on a stick?"
"So, I'll take that as a yes?" their mother said. "Yes!" the twins said. "O.K. We'll go Saturday." their father said. "Yey!" the twins said and ran into their bedroom, pulling Claressa and Saundree behind them. The four siblings jumped in bed and closed their eyes. Then, they suddenly opened their eyes and stood up. "Wait a minuet, it's only eight o'clock!" they said together.

At school the next day, the students couldn't figure out what got the twins in such a good mood. They were singing and dancing in the halls, which wasn't that unusual at East High, but they were grabbing people randomly and saying "Did I ever tell you that you're my best friend?" They said that to a man in tattered clothes. "You know that I'm the janitor?" he said. "Well, you did a nice job on that toilet last week!" they responded. "What's up with them?" Troy said, who was watching the whole scene. "Um…did they just hug a mop?" Gabriella said. They watched the twins go into home room and pick up snuggles, their class pet, Mr. Snuggles. "Did we ever tell you that you're our favorite class pet?" they said. "Forget the mop, did they just kiss Mr. Snuggles?" Taylor said. The group slowly nodded.
"Did we ever tell you that you're our favorite dog that's not dead?" they twins said when they got home. "Guys, you said that to every thing you saw today." Claressa said. "And Boi has to go out." "Did we ever tell you that you're our favorite older sister?" they said. "Stop it! That's getting annoying!" Saundree said. "Did we ever tell you that you're our favorite younger sister?" Saundree sighed. Sharpay looked over at Ryan. "Did I ever tell you that you're my favorite brother?" she said. "He's your only brother!" Saundree said. "Did I ever tell you you're my favorite twin sister?" Ryan said. "Ug! I give up!" Saundree said. "Guys, when are you doing?" Claressa said when she saw the twins heading out the door to the garage. "We're going to go kiss Fuzzy." they responded. Fuzzy was one of their bunnies. "O.K. you're getting way out of control!" Claressa said and grabbed the twins and put them on the couch. "Did we ever tell you that this is out favorite-" Claressa pinched their ears and they calmed down.
"Hey guys, did you see this?" Saundree said holding a piece of paper and an envelope. "What is it?" Claressa said and took the envelope and the note. "Dear kids, we had to run to the grocery store, but when we get back, we're going here. See you then. Love, Mom and Dad." Claressa read aloud. "Let us open it!" the twins said. Claressa handed them the envelope and the twins stood up and opened it. There were pieces of paper inside. The twins looked at them and had a shocked looked on their face. Saundree and Claressa looked at the pieces of paper. "Cool! Free passes to Deep River water park!" Saundree said and grabbed the passes from the twins. The sister noticed the twins rocking back and forth. The sisters quickly got behind them and the twins fell into their arms. The twins looked like they were in a trance, but a scream from Sharpay brought Ryan back to reality.
