Re: Lucy, Megan, Stacey and open (3pm)
Lucy's gaze darted to the door and she grinned when she recognised Stacey - waiting until she was close enough before she gave her a hug too. It was incredibly good to see them both again, and knowing Susan would be here later only made it better. "Why've we waited for my birthday to do this, again?" she asked. She pouted when Stacey mentioned Zacharias couldn't come, but she did understand. "Aw, I was hoping to see him. He seems like he works too hard." She made a mental note to find another excuse to see him soon - he'd done so much to help her lately, she really felt like she owed him a good time.
Lucy gestured to the pool and its toys. "I think this qualifies as doing whatever I want, don't you? I always wanted a pool party growing up, but mum and dad couldn't really justify it." Hiring a whole pool for an afternoon was expensive, apparently, though Lucy had been to a few parties hosted by others. "I'm really going to miss this if I move out."
