Two of them have a birthday coming up.
Since summer, the two had been contemplating a very elaborate double-birthday celebration. In the end, they settled on a simple gathering of three good friends, pottery, and a sleepover.
These three are loud and they don't care who hears them. They use the words "epic" and "fail" a lot, as in, "That's so fail" or "This is epic." Sometimes they use them together and say, "That was a total epic fail!"
One of them is sporty. One of them is arty. One of them likes to dance.
All of their names start with the letter "A" and this delights them to no end.
The arty one drew pictures and made t-shirts for the party. She packaged them up nicely so no one else could see.
Yep, you can hear them coming from a mile away but when they finally do show up, you'll be so happy they did.
