"Oww. What'd you do that for? Oh, my flight. Well, guys, I'll be seeing ya!" Ali said, picking up her backpack and slinging it on her right shoulder.
"Have fun in LA," Jamie said, still clinging to Howie.
"Do you two ever seperate? James, you haven't been home in a week, I'm beginning to think you're connected in more ways then one," Cathy said, poking fun at the fact that Jamie and Howie were "connected" as Jamie put it.
"Shut up. Whenever you're with Nicky Boy, he sticks to you like glue."
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Cathy replied. When he's not by Ali's side, Cathy thought. What the hell was I thinking? I don't like Nick, I never did, he's an ass. And he's only using me to get to Ali. And why is he at the ticket counter?
"Hi, I'd like a later flight to Los Angeles, any time today, first class please," Nick said, hoping no one would notice him buying an airline ticket to Cali.
"Aisle or window?"
"Aisle," he said quickly, glancing back at the group.

~Five hours later, at Cathy's house
Cathy was sitting on the porch swing, being bored, just staring off into space, like she usually did. She was informed via the answering machine that Hallie and Brian were going to the Olive Garden and then to Pleasure Island and she could go if she wanted. *Delete* Also, that Jamie and Howie were going to Disney World then to CityWalk, and she could go if she wanted. *Delete* Also, that Nick was on a flight to Los Angeles, California, for something having to do with "Business." *Slam down the Delete button* So, naturally, Cathy was stuck at home, bored out of her mind, wondering what to do. Until she saw a truck pull up in the driveway.
AJ walked toward Cathy, and for some reason, she felt strangely attraced to him. Probably the heat, she thought as she shook off the feeling. "Hey," AJ said, plopping himself down on the porch swing next to Cathy.
"Hey yourself Bone Daddy," Cathy said, using his nickname.
That got a smile from AJ. Then he remembered why he was there in the first place. "Where's my cousin?"
Cathy looked at AJ like he was mental. "Memory much? Jeez, sometimes I wonder about you. She's in Cali."
"Oh yeah. Where's Jamie?"
"With Howie."
"Hallie?"
"Brian."
"Kevin?"
"Cali."
"Howie?"
"Jamie."
"Brian?"
"Hallie."
"Nick?"
"Cali."
"Cathy?"
"Swing."
"Wrong answer," AJ said, breaking their cute pattern.
"Huh?" Cathy said, confused.
"Try 'AJ,' " he said, with a small grin.
"Okay, where is she going with AJ?"
"How about anywhere?"
"Good plan. Let's go," Cathy said, strangely excited about the whole idea of going somewhere with AJ. Must be the heat, has to be the heat.
