(a/n: hey! I’m gonna make all of my chapters different colors… because it’s fun! Haha. Alright- I would like to take this time to thank all of the people who have signed my guestbook. It means a lot! Wow. That sounded like some dumb thank you a famous person gives after winning an award… haha. ‘when’ I’m famous I’ll give that speech. Ok? I thank all of you. Alrighty!!! On to the chapter.)

 

Emma decided not to wait for Benji’s call and she walked over to his house, taking the long way. As she arrived in the twin’s driveway, a van pulled up. Paul got out of the car and didn’t notice Emma until she practically jumped on him; giving him a hug.

 

“Paaaaaauuuuuulllllllliiiiiiiiieeeeeee!!!!!” she squealed. “It’s good to see you again!!”

 

Paul just stood there, taken aback. “Umm… you just saw me yesterday.”

 

(a/n: DUDE!! If I had to decide which cartoon character Paul reminded me of it would be Eeyore! That came out of nowhere…)

 

“Well, it’s still good to see you Paul my boy!”

 

“Alriight. You’re a little hyper aren’t ya?” Paul questioned, pretending to be somewhat afraid.

 

“Just a wee bit!” she beamed.

 

“Are you high?!” he jokingly accused.

 

“Oh, you know me! I’m as high as a fricken’ kite!” She was really hyper. She was finally going to get to hang out with her friends again. Plus, it didn’t help that she had had two ‘code red mountain dews’ from the time she woke up until the time she had left the house. The two walked up to the door and Emma knocked.

 

“Hey guys.” Joel greeted them. He walked back into the house, motioning for them to follow. Roxi was already there (surprise surprise!) and Joel sat on the couch next to her. “Benji’s in the shower. He should be out soon though.” He mentioned, turning on the tv. Emma and Paul grabbed a seat on the floor and watched as Joel flipped through the channels. Nothing good was on so Joel muted the tv.

 

“Who or what is that?!” Paul asked. There was a faint sound of someone singing.

 

“Oh my gosh!! C’mere!” Joel got up from where he was seated. Emma, Roxi, and Paul followed and found Joel leaning against the bathroom door with his ear up to it. The others could here Benji singing ‘Pretty in Pink’ by Social Distortion.

 

“She’s so pretttttyyy in piiiinnk!” he wasn’t singing very loud but he could still be heard above the running water.

 

“Joel, wasn’t he just making fun of you like an hour ago?!” Emma reminded Joel.

 

“Yeah… he was! He’s a flaming hypocrite!!”

 

Benji turned the water off and still singing softly, he dried his hair off with a towel then wrapped it around his waist. Looking at his reflection he flexed in the mirror, obviously showing no muscle, but Benji still smiled anyway. “I’ll be hanging out with Emma in less than an hour!” he thought. Whistling, he opened the door and was surprised to see Joel, Roxi, Emma, and Paul fall onto the bathroom floor.

 

“What the…..! What are you guys doing?! JOEL!!”

 

Emma looked up and smiled at Benji. He couldn’t help but smile back. He could feel himself blushing.

 

“Dude! You make fun of me for singing in the shower, yet not more than an hour later, you are singing in the shower!” Joel patronized Benji.

 

“Guys! Get up so I can get out of the bathroom!!” Benji ordered. The four got up off the floor and walked back out to the living room, while Benji went to get changed.

 

Five minutes later, Benji walked out with ripped off dickies shorts, a black social d shirt and black cons. He headed towards the bathroom and grabbed the gel to spike his hair up. Joel got up from his seat on the couch and knocked on josh’s bedroom door. He had gotten home around 2:00 that morning.

 

“Josh… you still gonna take us?”

 

“Yeah yeah. I’ll be right out.” Josh muttered.

 

After Benji was done grooming himself and Josh had come out of his room, they all headed out the front door and piled into the ‘family van.’ Benji sat in the front, Joel and Roxi shared the middle seat and Emma and Paul sat in the back. Josh turned the car on and Benji flipped the radio stations until he got the 103.9. “

 

“You’re listening to The Edge and this is Cravin. That was Greenday with ‘Minority’. They are coming to this year’s warped tour. You can get tickets at any ticketmaster location or at www.ticketmaster.com.” (ok, so the edge is an Arizonan radio station… who cares. It’s a station that has music that is good. So shhhh!)

 

“WARPED YOUR!” Benji exclaimed.

 

“Yes Benj… Warped Tour.” Joel commented.

 

“So, are we all gonna go together or what?” Roxi inquired.

 

“That’d be cool.” Replied Paul.

 

Before anyone else could say anything on the subject, they reached Aaron’s.
