Abbey and Blanket Chapter 3

Easter Sunday started very early for Abbey. She was sleeping soundly in her bed covered up with her purple horse blanket and Blanket laying across her freckly nose. That was his favorite place to sleep and Abbey had gotten used to it although it was still kind of weird to have your best friend lay on your face to sleep at night. Blanket said that it was the only way to stay warm, and that it helped him stay aware enough to battle off the bed bugs as they marched in for their nightly attack. Abbey wasn't sure about this part of the explanation as she had never actually seen one bedbug let alone an army of them. She suspected actually that Blanket was afraid of the dark and this made him feel better.
It was still dark outside and Sally was asleep at the end of her bed when Abbey heard a voice whisper/shout "Abbey, it's Easter!" She tried to keep her eyes closed and pretend that she was sleeping soundly, but she heard the crackle of a freezer pop wrapper. She opened one eye halfway and sure enough there Blanket was, eating what she was sure was the last purple freezer pop.
"Do you realize that it is still dark outside, which means that it is either the middle of the night, or very early in the morning?" Abbey whispered.
"I know! No one is awake which means we could watch that movie that your mom said was a grownup movie only, you know the one with that guy who really loved his horse that got visited by those guys in the black suits. I bet that was really cool. And we can have the cookies and freezer pops before Maddy gets up. I say we get this day started." Blanket jumped up and started doing the Sprinkler on Abbey's bed.
"You know you're really a pain sometimes."
Abbey turned over and tried to go back to sleep but Blanket continued jumping and dancing. She realized that she wasn't getting back to sleep and got out of bed. Blanket let out a whoop and jumped off too. She walked very quietly and carefully down the hallway to be sure that the Parents were still asleep. They were so the duo headed downstairs.
Abbey wanted a freezer pop so she went out to the garage and found the door wide open, she reached inside and sure enough, they had started to melt. She grabbed one and closed the door. How many times does she have to tell him that leaving the door opens let out all the icy air. Geez.
Abbey headed back inside and found Blanket loading Netflix on the XBox, looking for a movie.
"What are we going to watch? I want to watch a funny movie."
"Funny movies are so lame. Only children watch funny movies. Real grown ups watch scary movies with no laughing and serious faces. This is grown up time. If we show your mom that we can watch a grown up movie without freaking out, she'll let us watch them all the time." Blanket started flipping through the list of movies. "300, no I can't count that high, Taxi Driver, no I don't know how to drive yet, Scarface, gross, who wants to see a movie with some ugly person. Oh, this is perfect, I finally get the chance to watch a real grown up movie, and all of my options stink. Let's try this section, okay, this is better, Grown-ups, Father of the Bride, The Other Guys. Yes, this is perfect. Let's watch Grown-ups."
Blanket loaded the movie and the 2 friends snuggled together on the couch. They ate their freezer pops and watched the movie. After a half hour or so, "Great, just great, this is a funny movie. Buuuuutttt, there are no cartoons, so technically not a kid movie. Let's keep watching." Blanket reasoned.
Abbey rolled her eyes and ignored him. She heard a thump from upstairs and her mom came down. "Abbey, how many freezer pops have you eaten, there are like 10 wrappers there on the floor, and what are you watching? You can't see that. It's PG13. How long have you been up?"
Abbey turned to Blanket, "I swear, I'm going to lock you up and stop letting you out."
