Khushi watched her twins drag a quilt and pillows out of the bedroom and into the tent. Akshay followed them with more pillows and another quilt. She spread the sheets in the tents and received her adorable helpers in an embrace.

They were having a slumber party just as she promised them the previous night. With her little assistants she set up three tents at the poolside while the other two ladies arranged for food and games each.

Aarushi - I sheep wid Mumma!!!

She yelled out of nowhere before any of her sister or brother could demand to share a tent with her mother. As their father wasn't home, she wasn't going to compromise.

Arshi - No, I sheep wid Mumma!

They pulled out of their mother's hug and glared at each other stubbornly. Khushi nodded in denial at her pigheaded daughters.

Khushi - Ok, no need to argue, else Mumma won't sleep with any of you both.

Akshay - Exactly, because Massi will sleep with me.

And except of the twins' cocked eyebrows and Khushi's frown, he was also the recipient of their fuming anger. The look he received by the little ASRs almost scared him.

Khushi - Stop it you three. We will decide later with whom we'll sleep. For now we'll eat lots and play games.

Aarushi - Eat Jebis?

Khushi - Yes, we'll eat Jalebis too. And we'll play Twister. My Shona loves Twister, isn't it?

She laughed as Aarushi jumped to express her excitement. The other two just rolled their eyes indifferently.

Akshay - So can we come back to the sleeping order? I'll sleep with Massi.

Anjali - And who'll sleep with me?

They smiled wide at their aunt Anjali who walked over to them followed by Payal and took place next to them on the sheet.

Arshi - Meeee! I sheep wid Anji Bua.

She hugged her grinning and sat in her lap. Akshay and Aarushi smirked for one less candidate.

Aarushi - And I sheep wid Mumma, and bhai sheep wid Masshi.

Akshay - No. Massi, I never slept with you, Aarushi sleeps with you so many times. Today it's my turn.

Khushi sighed giving up and agreed thinning her lips. But Aarushi narrowed her eyes at him coming between them.

Aarushi - NO!!!

Khushi - Aaru, jaan, why don't you sleep with Massi today and let Bhai sleep with me?

She scowled in response and struggled in her mother's hold.

Khushi - Aaru! What do we do with kids who won't listen to their elders?

Akshay - Tie their hands and feet and throw them in the water.

Khushi, Anjali and Payal's eyes widened in shock as they looked at Akshay horrified for his imagination of drowning three years old Aarushi.

Payal - You, my little friend won't be watching any TV for a month and your IPad will be confiscated too. How can you even think of such a horrible thing?

Akshay - Watched it in a movie.

The three ladies exchanged looks of fear. He's just five years old and shares the room with twins. If Arnav and Akash get to know about this, Akshay will be in deep trouble.

Khushi - And as punishment for even suggesting to drown your little sister you won't be sleeping with me.

Payal - And you won't join the slumber party. What you said is wrong and you think about it in your room where you'll be sleeping now.

Akshay - Obviously. You love her more. She's shona, jaan, baby and blabla. I'm none. Twins get all the love. I'm only just scolded by everyone. Have fun at your boring girly slumber party.

The women looked at each other with guilt as he grumpily sat on the outside recliner. They got it he feels neglected and is jealous of the twins.

Khushi - That's not true. We don't love them more, we all love you three equally.

Akshay - No. You don't. They get everything they want, I don't. They can do whatever they want, I can't. I always get scolded.

Khushi nodded in denial and looked at her twins. Payal got up and sat beside him, trying to cheer him up.

Payal - Akshay, you are elder to them. They are just three, you are five years old and a big boy. And you too get everything you want. You have so many video games, a TV in your room, an Ipad, a bed with a slide and so many toys you don't even play with.

Anjali - And you're the only boy in this house allowed to join our slumber parties. That's a great honor.

While Anjali and Payal tried their best to butter him, Khushi whispered into the twins' ears. So they walked over to him and hugged him with a huge smile adoring their faces. They placed quick pecks on his cheeks which had him melting of course.

Arshi - We luv you. You ah besht Bhai.

Aarushi - And we luv you. Sho I give you mah Barbie.

She handed him her favorite Barbie doll and even Akshay acknowledged and admired this gesture of her for he knew she loves this doll of hers.

Akshay - Thanks. But I don't play with dolls so you can keep her.

Her face fell at that. She was gifting him her doll even though her mother didn't ask her to so that. It was her own idea. And she fell bad for he didn't accept it.

Payal - Akshay, Aaru is giving you her doll. You won't play with her?

He caught his mother's hint and nodded at his little sister.

Akshay - Yes of course. Aaru, you keep your Barbie, because I know you love it.

Payal - Yes. And whenever he wants to play with her, he'll ask you.

Aarushi beamed at that in satisfaction and nodded in agreement. Arshi looked around for a gift now. Her sister had come up with that idea on her own and now Arshi, in order to not look bad too needed to come up with a present.

Arshi - I too gift you. I plomish...um' I plomish I gift my favot pajhal (puzzle).

Khushi proudly smiled at them and watched the three Raizada kids hug each other lovingly before Arshi broke the hug and ran to her mother.

Arshi - Mumma, mah favot pajhal.

Khushi - Yes shona, I'll get your favorite puzzle and give to Akshay. I'll do that tomorrow.

Khushi kissed her overwhelmed with proud and joy. Arshi moved back to continue embracing Akshay. Being the mother she was, Khushi couldn't help but stare her pouting twins with an Awwww.

Anjali - Now it's time we start with our slumber party. Shall we play Twisted first?

Akshay, Arshi, Aarushi - Yeeeees!!!

Payal chuckled holding her ears as they screamed almost in her ears.

Anjali spread the sheet and took her place aside as the master of the spinner while Khushi accepted the box of Jalebis she made earlier.

Aarushi - Jebiiiii!

They grabbed pieces of Jalebis before starting with the game which was a smaller and easier version of the original.

Arshi - Ashide all. I win hea. Anji Bua, shpin!

Khushi clapped for her daughter who went to the mat with a confident level of her father and mother combined. Anjali laughed at the cute order and spinned.

Anjali - Ok Arshi, put your right hand on green.

Akshay - Now me!

And with that the slumber party just started. They played and ate till late what kids defined as 10 at night. One of the games was a competition of dressing Aarushi's dolls where obviously Aarushi performed as the judge. Akshay lost the game badly, with 0 points and Anjali won it with full 10 points.

Aarushi - No woy (worry) Bhai, neksht time you win.

They had laughed so much at her comment.

But one thing was still not clear, who'd be sleeping with whom.

Aarushi - I sheep wid Mumma!!!

Akshay - Aaru, you love me na, so let me sleep with Massi. Then I'll gift you a new doll.

She considered his offer for few seconds before denying it.

Payal - Ok, so Arshi will sleep with Di and both Akshay and Aaru want to sleep with Khushi. I suppose I'm not wanted here.

Payal acted a bit for attention with a fake pout. And it had the desired effect.

Aarushi - Oh, Masshi on (alone) I sheep.

Akshay - No no, Mumma don't be sad. I'm here na, I'll sleep with you.

And even Arshi jumped out of her Anji Bua's lap to offer herself.

Arshi - I sheep wid Masshi.

Khushi, Anjali and Payal looked at each other sighing in exhaustation for now they started arguing on who will sleep with Payal.
