~One week later~

"Cici!" A voice rang out from behind her.
"Yep?" Cici asked, turning around. "What's up?"
"Do you want to go shopping today? The three of us? It is Black Friday!" Pippa asked, gesturing to herself, Renée and Jazzy.
"For real?" Cici asked, excited.
"Hell yeah!" Jazzy grinned, lifting her coffee up like she was giving a toast.
"Can I come?" A voice from behind the girls asked. "I need a new suit."
"Yas, Jon!" Pippa grinned, latching arms with King George.
"Sweet, let's go spend a ton of money." Renée laughed.
The days were turning crisp and cold,
The girls (and Jon) spent hours out, trying on clothes for fun, and swiping credit cards everywhere, battling crowds at any store. At the end of the trip Cici had a great new wardrobe.
"Okay, I love this more than anything, but I don't have a closet to keep all of this in." Cici said.
Jazzy shrugged, and they walked to the theater.
"Who's house am I staying at tonight?" Coco asked.
"Mine." Jon grinned. "Do you mind sleeping in my bed? I'll take the couch."
"No way. It's your bed. I'll take the couch."
"No, because I'm the adult, and I wouldn't be a good adult if I did that."
Cici shook her head, giggling, dropping the argument.
A few hours later Jon and Cici decided to take the train to Lin's house, going to pick up a few of Cici's belongings. She went up to the guest room, and as she came down, she heard Jon and Lin whispering.
"Miranda-Groff makes more sense. Groff-Miranda's stupid." Lin said.
"Are you kidding me, Miranda-Groff sounds terrible." Jon argued.
"Stop it, you two. I've been hearing this argument for a week. She had to chose. Or, what if she doesn't want to change her name?" Vanessa butted in.
"What are we talking about?" Cici asked, making her presence known.
"Nothing!" The three adults said quickly.
"Sure." Cici giggled.
"Let's go, doll?" Jon asked, offering his arm to Cici.
"Let's go, sir!" Cici giggled. "Bye Lin! Bye Vanessa! Bye Sebby!"
"His name is Sebastian." Lin said singsongy.
"Bye Sebby!" Jon and Cici said together, going out o the door.
"Can we go get ice cream?" Cici asked.
"Hell yeah." Jon grinned.
His phone buzzed.
"I think it's Lin." Jon said, pulling it out if his pocket.
Lin: No dessert before dinner. Seriously, Groff.
"He says no dessert before dinner." Jon frowned. "Should we listen to the responsible adult?"
"Of course not." Cici said matter-of-factly.
Jon: Too late.
"Ice cream, here we come!"
