I swear, he goes through my things when I'm not there." "So, when he found you on his bed, in his jersey, reading his magazines, that was just-" "Details, details. What is Alex up to?" "I don't know." "Yeah, right." "What does that mean?" "Isabel...you like, always know where Alex is." "I do not." "Yes, you do." "And I suppose you have no clue where Max is." "Puh-leeze. Max is with my probation-boy." "What was it this time? 'My Little Pony' or 'The Princess Bride'?" "I'm lost." "There's only two things-" "So far." "So far that she puts him on probation for. He either insults her "My Little Pony" collection or he makes fun of 'The Princess Bride.'" "Hey...you don't insult a girl's "My Little Pony" collection under any circumstances." "But, I've already told you. A million times. We used to blow them up when we were learning our powers." "Yeah, and he still eyes them as though they're target practice." "Isn't probation childish, Maria?" Two snickers were heard. Maria shot them both a death-glare. "Honey...you're dating Kyle. Valenti. He's not Alex. Our amazing Alex who's the best guy friend a girl could have. Well, Max is too, but...nevermind. And you don't have Max. No offense there, because we know you like Kyle, but they are good boyfriends. We, on the other hand, have the "slightly defective" brand of men." "Slightly defective?" "Oh, come on, Isabel. You have to agree with me on that one." "You guys. Max isn't perfect." Three pairs of eyes roll in someone's direction, followed by "Uh huh"s. "He's not!" "Ladies, shall we review for her?" "Maria-" "Shush. Does he get you flowers?" "Well-" "Come on Liz, answer the question. Does my brother get you flowers?" "Yeah." "And does he take you out on dates. Real ones?" "Yes." "Has he ever insulted any of your sacred objects?" "Sacred? Maria-" "Zip it. Has he?" "No...he has not insulted 'The Princess Bride." "I rest my case." "He's still not perfect, Maria." "Look, Liz. If he hadn't been all ga-ga over you since, like, third grade and I didn't have some sick obsession over his best friend...I would have jumped him." "WHAT?!" "Oh, he's just so...great...he was such a good friend this summer..." "Wait. Are you saying you want my-" "Whoa, Amidala! No. Unfortunately, I've decided to be completely whipped on Michael. There is no room for anyone else. Functional or otherwise." "Except that we all know that you own him." "I don't own him." "Oh, really? Probation?" "What has Alex done to get on probation? Zip. And, before you say anything Liz, Max won't do anything probation-worthy, either." "You act like he's the worst boyfriend." "No. Just inept. That's all." "But you love him." "Hellooo?! I'm Amy DeLuca's daughter. Call it genetic or something. Ooh! That reminds me. Gotta call the boy. Mom needs me to do stuff in her shop tomorrow and I am so not doing it by myself." "I can help you. Kyle's gone all day and I'm not doing anything." "Thanks for the offer, Tess. But he still owes me." The other three watched as she went to the next room to make her phone call. "So what is Alex doing tonight?" "Actually, Tess, I think he was going to do something with Kyle." "Really?" "Yeah. Some computer thing or something." "Well, we all know that Max is with Michael. Probably listening to him rant about his 'probation.'" "So why does she do that?" "Probation?" "Yeah?" "You tell her, Liz." "Because she can." "What?" "Yep. It's pretty simple. Michael is whipped on her. Hard core. So she can pretty much get away with anything she wants. Oh, he pretends it drives him nuts and all that stuff...but the truth is..." "He screws up." "Yeah...like Liz said...he screws up. And he knows it. I swear, sometimes I think he does it just for entertainment." "I could see that. Plus, Maria can't keep him on it that long." "Why not?" "Because a girl needs action." Three heads whipped to the girl who just entered the room. "Mission accomplished. He's mine at one p.m." "You're evil." "Whatever. So, Tess...is Kyle a good shopping buddy?" "Oh shut up. He came, like, one time. Just because you can't take Michael into a mall..." "Trust me when I say this Tess. And this is from years of experience. You don't want to take Michael to a mall. Ever. Max, no problem. Alex, no problem. Michael, problem." "Why not?" "Way too long of a story." "Okay. So, Maria, since you seem to be the resident expert...how do I stop Kyle from going through my things?" "Probation." Two groans were heard. "We're gonna be upstairs." "Yeah, I do not want to be a part of this." "Shoo, then. So, Tess...here's how you do it..." * * * * * |
