"It's game day." Lizzie tells her brunette triplet

"I'm not hungry." Josie declares

"What?" The platinum blonde questions

"Well, uh, funny thing actually, Josette." Lizzie starts to Explains to her sister beside her

"This morning, as I was desperately trying to make this trash bag of a jersey look cute with the help of our little sister, the two of us suddenly had the urge to purge, so we both fled to the bowl, and low and behold, we both heaved up a gallon of black goo each,"  Lizzie continued to tell her middle sister.

"So, seeing as neither Lexi nor I have been dabbling in any illicit black magic recently, I can only imagine it was a triplet sympathy hurl." "And here you are, denying the day's most important meal." "So fess up What did you do"  the oldest triplet demands.

"Maybe you're pregnant, Lizzie. Oh and Lexi maybe its because she just worried that you would hurt the baby," Penelope, Josie ex girlfriend adds her two cents.

"Oh, or maybe it's just how that jersey fits."

"Go away, evil one."

"Already gone." "Hot tip: next time you burn your ex's hair off, make sure she can't rock a lob."
