She had just thrown it out on her shift, but the more she thought about a summer party, the more it made her smile.

A cookout. Lots of food, drinks, music, and friends. Very casual. Just as you imagine a party in July to be. A quick look at the calendar confirmed it would have to be the tenth. Before rehearsals on Mockingbird began in earnest.

She smiled to herself and went looking for a notebook to start making plans.

A jubilant Maggie showed up for Annabeth's barbecue with a few boxes of dessert treats from her Aunt Ariana's bakery. "Hiya, Annabeth! We brought dessert! Gran brought her fiddle and Catie has her pipe whistle just in case you wanted live music."

It was much more than Maggie that had come to join in the fun. Her parents, younger brother and sister, and grandmother arrived to add a little flavor to the party.

Colleen's shoes were the first thing to go as she took to dancing with everyone that accepted her hand.

Annabeth grinned as she opened the gate for Maggie and her family. "Well, thank you, Maggie, you didn't have to, but Ariana's treats are always welcome in this house. As are you, and yours."

Once everyone was in the gate she gestured toward the back. "The grill and tables are in the back, there's hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, vegetarian versions of all of those and plenty of side dishes. It's all on the food table so just help yourself.

"As for music, if you want to play I'm more than willing to hear it. Do whatever makes you feel good!"

She led them back to the back garden so they could start the party.
