"Mmkay...what's a present tense verb?" Zac asked, looking into the mad lib notebook. He sat in the middle of Jeremy and Hallie, as they both thought of one. Zac stopped going to school a long time ago, so Jeremy and Hallie had to tell him a few things.

"Um...vomiting?" Hallie suggested, as Jeremy laughed, Zac chuckling as he wrote it down.

"A plural noun." Zac said, looking at the other word choices.

"Oxy boxies." Jeremt suggested. Zac and Hallie ended up laughing at the noun.

"Oxy boxies? Seriously, dude?" Zac asked, as Hallie covered her mouth, trying not to crack up laughing even more than now.

"What?! It's all I can think of!" Jeremy defended, waving his hands in the air.

"Right." Hallie said, as all 3 of them looked up from the couch to see Josh pacing back and forthon the phone.

"I love you too, Erika. With all my heart." Josh said, smiling into his phone. Hallie's stare at him disappeared, looking back into the mad lib.

"Man, you're disgusting with all that lovey-dovey stuff." Zac said to Josh when he hung up. Josh stuck his tongue out at him.

"Hey, at least I have a girlfriend." Josh muttered, putting his phone in his pocket. Hallie glanced at him, noticing Josh's eyes on her, then back to Zac.

"At least I actually...um...quiet, you!" Zac argued back, Josh chuckling. Jeremy looked at the book, taking it from Zac.

"Okay, Zac. I'll continue the mad lib, because apparently, someone's being slow at it." Jeremy joked, at Hallie giggled, Zac sticking his tongue out.

"Okay, I need an adjective." Jeremy said, and all of them started thinking. Josh looked Hallie as she stared tiredly at the notebook, leaning on Zac's shoulder. She rubbed her eyes, seeing that no one was thinking that much.

"Rococo." Hallie said, breaking the silence. Zac laughed at how funny the word sounded. Josh smiled, covering his mouth. Jeremy looked at Hallie, cracking up.

"Rococo? What's that mean?" Jeremy asked, Zac looking at her, too.

"Hayley! You know what 'rococo' means, right?" Hallie asked, as Hayley walked into the room, readinga magazine.

"Yeah. It means flamboyant." Hayley said, eyes not off of the magazine. She walked upstairs, still with the magazine in hand. Everyone laughed, including Josh. They didn't know 'rococo' ended up meaning something like that.

"Nice choice, Hallie." Josh commented, glancing at her. Her giggling came to a stop, as she nodded, fake-smiling.

"Thanks." Hallie managed to say, before she heard her mom calling her. She walked out of the living room, Jeremy and Zac looking at the mad lib, and Josh watching Hallie leave.

"Hallie, get the door." Mrs. Williams said, as Hallie rolled her eyes, and walked to the door. Once
