We open on the beach with Sam and Emma dying to hear about Carrie's date with Billy last night. We read how impossible it is that three such different girls would end up best friends and a recap of all the previous books. Carrie isn't sure if she wants to go all the way with Billy. She wants them to get AIDS test first because anyone could have AIDS (we'll ignore the full proof method since the author doesn't believe teenagers can control themselves.)
Later we find out the Carrie's working on a portfolio of pictures for a summer project for school with Claudia and Ian. I'm sure this will be important later. Becky, who's now Ian's girlfriend, comes over. Becky at 14 wants them to go hang out in his room with the door closed, but Mom insist it has to be open. During the night we find out both Chloe and Ian have chicken pox. Wonder if Becky has them as well? Carrie has some time since the kids are sick. Billy comes over - he's fighting his third cold from April. Wonder if this is a warning sign for an STD? Billy thinks they should both get tested not just him. Carrie's shocked that he could think he's sick. Then he says that one girl he slept with did sleep around a lot so he's nervous to take the test. I'm thinking that's more reason to take it.
The girls meet that evening and we get outfit descriptions. Sam - an antique navy-blue lace slip from a thrift store with a jean jacket and her red cowboy boots (trademarked). Carrie - baggy jeans, t-shirt, and flannel shirt (Did she get lost on the way to Seattle?). Emma - white jeans, sleeveless white lace t-shirt, and a long embroidered white vest (gee, think she's the Ice Princess?)
And guess what the twins have chicken pox! Told you so.
