JUST ANOTHER PHASE
"Good Night Rene!" Bob said smiling. He continued down the back stairs and into the kitchen. "Hey doofus!" he said to Clint. "What Duke?" Clinted turned to look at his twin. "She knows it was you, and she knew all along she wanted to mess with your head." "OH!! Paybacks are HELL I'll get her back for that." then went back to making his turkey sandwich. "Make me one of those Chef Clint!" Dave said. "No Get off your lazy butt and make your own and shut off much music! We're here to relax and get away from all that." He said grumpliy. "Yes Frank!!! Good Lord you sound like Dad," Dave said getting up and shutting off the TV. He walked into the kitchen to make a sandwich. "So where is eveything?" He asked his brother. "There's the plates are in that open cabinet over there the knives are in the drawer below the bread box and there's meat and cheese in the fridge, chips are on top of the fridge. Now I'm going upstairs to get Rene." Clint snuck quietly up the back staircase. Rene had her radio up pretty loud so she did not hear him anyway. Clint listened to the music *Garth Brooks...hmmmm...this is my kinda girl* he opened the door to Rene's room. She was bent over and blowdriyng her long dark brown hair. He stood watching her for a few minutes, when she turned right side up again she jumped. "Clinton Thomas John Moffatt you scared the crap out of me don't sneak up on a person like that." She yelled over the music. He walked over and found the volume knob on her CD player and turned it down. "Well you shouldn't play tricks on people like that Bob told me that you knew that it was me." he said. "Well I was trying to see what yoou would do if I called you Bob, then you just played along with it so i had a little fun. But everything I said to you is true. I'm not going to lie about that." She said then turned to the mirror on her vanity and started brushing her hair. "Well just so ya know everything that I said was true you are my kind of woman." he siad coming up behind her. She looked at him in the mirror and said "If what I said was true and what you said was true then what are we going to do about it?" "I don't know i'm sure we could think of something....Do you guys have a movie theater here in town??" "Of course what do you think this is Hicksville?" "So what's playing?" he asked. "Umm...I don't know let me think......Pay It Forward, The Grinch, and Unbreakable, and I haven't seen any of them and I want to see them all." She answered. "How about The Grinch, tomorrow night late show?? and where are the good resturants?" "Well there's a great little mexican place up on Summit it's called El Terreo's or something like that but it's really good." "yum...mexican my favorite!" Clint said. "Mine too except when I can get a decent plate of Sweet and Sour chicken." Rene said. she turned around on her stool and looked at Clint expectantly. "What??" he said. "you have to leave now because i'm tired and I can't get into bed until your gone." "Why not?" He asked. "because I only have my PJs on underneath this and they don't leave a whole lot to the imagination." I said. "Oh really and that's a problem because why?" he said mischeviously. "if that's the way you wnt it then fine!" She said untying her robe. Clint's mouth dropped open when she slid the robe off her shoulders. "yo...you...you are going to sleep in that?" he asked. "yeah i always do." she answered. she was wearing a small t-shrt probably what you would call a boys t-shirt and well no shorts. "okay i'm leaving before i really embarass myself be ready for dinner at 7:30 sharp" he said then turned and walked out of the room shutting the door behind him. in a Daze Clint walked down the stairs and sat on the couch. "So, Did you get her back?" Bob asked. "umm..." was all he could say. "Earth to Clint come in Clint!" Scott said waving his hand in front of Clint's face. then Dave snapped his fingers right in front of Clint's eyes "Snap out of it Clint!" that caused clint to blink and look at his brothers who were supressing their laughter. "What happend up there?" scott asked. '"She was blowdrying her hair and listening to a CD then we talked and made a date for tommorrow night then she wanted to get into bed and I didn't leave so she took off her robe and she had hardly anything on and Wow!" clint said reverting back to his daze. "Oh yeah he sure got her back for that huh??"Bob said
At two in the morning bob was awoken by a weeping sound. He threw on a T-shirt over his boxers. Slowly he made his way down the winding staircase. "Jillian?" He whispered out into the dark. He saw her sitting by the window looking out onto the street. She turned her head so he wouldn't see her crying. "What's wrong?" he asked. "It's 2 in the morning." Needless to say he was slightly shocked. "She's not home yet." Jillian still wasn't looking at Bob. Just as if on cue the back door opened. "Don't worry Ryan She's upstairs we can fool around down her if ya want". Jillian couldn't move. So bob did it for her. "You! How can you do that to your BEST FRIEND!" Jess was taken back at his bluntness. "Well, Jillian doesn't mind do you Jill? I mean she doesn't even like Ryan anymore." Jess threw out one LAME ASS excuse. Jillian just ran upstairs knocking down Clint and Rene on the way. She continued to hear screaming in the following order. Bob, Jess, Ne, Scott, Bob, Bob, and go figure bob. Soon her door opened and Bob walked in to find Jillian packing her things. "What are you doing?" He asked franticly. "Leaving I'm not staying here with that...THAT BITCH!" "You don't have to She's leaving. Rene is making her move out tommorow. So you don't have to worry cause I'm taking you out tommorow." Jillian sighed and started to unpack again. Bob walked over and stopped her. "Do this tommorow morning tonight you should be sleeping." She didn't listen just laughed and continued on. So he ran over, picked her up, and threw her on the bed. "AGH!" she laughed hysterically and Bob fell on the bed beside her. "So what are we doing tommorow?" She asked. "I don't know. Go somewhere where all the guys hang out." Bob said. "OH NO! you are not draging me into a guy fest!" Jillian warned. "NO! We'll just be there for a second I want to let EVERYONE know that Jillian Jacobelli can no longer be hit on, picked up, or dated cause she's taken!" He smiled and kissed her quickly on the lips. "Get some sleep." He walked out of the room. *OH MY GOD! I DIDN'T EVEN ASK HER IF SHE'D GO OUT WITH ME SHE PROBABLY THINKS I'M A MORON* Jillian sat inside with a smile on her face *WOAH! He said I was taken I guess this means I am or something.* *Clint and Nenners(haha dreaded nicknames!)* "OH MY GOD THAT LITTLE...." "Hey Rene, Calm down it's okay. She's gone." Clint tried to calm her. "I know and tommorow she'll be back to get her things but still I mean...UGH!" Rene slapped her head. "Woah no suicidal beatings here." Clint joked and put his hands on her shoulders. "It's fine. You said Jess was hanging with new people. People change Rene." Rene smiled at Clint. "I just never would've guessed she could do that I mean we've known her for so long and SHE JUST GOES OFF AN..." Clint shushed her and directed her. "You need to calm down and go to bed." "Yes Dad." Rene laughed at her playfulness. "Suppose your right." Rene walked into her room she went to close her door but Clint was standing in the frame. "What are you doing?" She inquired. "Tucking you in like any good 'Dad' would" Clint grinned. Rene looked at him suspisiously but precided to let him come in. She crawled into bed and he pulled the covers over her and tucked in the sheets. "Thanks CT!" Ne said in a baby voice. "Go to bed he scolded turned off her light and closed the door. *SCOTT AND DAVE* "Hey Scott..." "Shut up!" Scott chucked a pillow at Dave. "Missed me, anyways with Jess gone one of us can have our own room." "You take it I don't want a pink room!" Scott growled. "NOW SLEEP!" "Okay Frank!" Dave mocked. Scott threw yet another pillow. "Missed me again." Dave smirked.
*the next morning* Rene woke up in an excellent mood. It seemed that she had completely forgotten about the fight that had taken place in the wee hours the night before. She woke up and threw on some flannel pants and went down stairs to make breakfast for everyone. She got out the eggs, milk, cheese, sausage, and a loaf of bread. She started out making sausage patties when that was done and frying she started cracking eggs in a bowl to make scrambled eggs. She used the whole dozen eggs and quickly added the milk and cheese to the bowl and set it off to the side. After the sausage was done cooking she started cooking the eggs. "I smell sausage" came a voice. It was Dave. "You can smell food cooking from a mile away can't you?" Rene asked him looking up from the stove. He walked over and watched her cook. "And scrambled eggs, do you do this all the time?" he asked. "Nope, only when I feel like cooking" She answered. "I take it that isn't very often." Dave said. "Correct." Dave looked at the clock on the microwave, "Good Lord, Girl!!! Do you know what time it is?" Dave said in disbelief. "Yup. It's 7 o'clock, I have to be at work at 8 and if I don't eat before I go I eat tons of food at work!" She answered. "Who in the world is up this early and why?" That was Scott. "I am, Scott if you want hot food then I suggest you stay up until you eat." Rene said in her mother tone. "You cook?? Wow!! What are you cooking?" He said. "Scrambled eggs, sausage and toast if I can get Dave to pop some bread in the toaster since he's in the way." She answered. "No don't let him do it trust me he'll burn it." Scott said incrediously. "Okay I won't, Dave go sit on the counter or something you are in the way." Rene ordered. Dave quickly did as he was told. Rene pulled the toaster out and popped a couple of pieces in the slots and pushed the button down. She turned around and looked at Scott, he was standing by the fridge in nothing but his boxers. Rene rasied her eyebrows, "Nice boxers" Scott looked down at his South Park boxers. He blushed and turned to got to his room to pull on some pants. When he came back he was wearing some tear-away pants. He looked at Rene "Better?" "Much" she replied. "Now here's your plate go sit down!" He looked at the plate, eggs, 3 sausage patties, and 2 pieces of toast already buttered. *God, I could get used to this* He thought to himself. She handed Dave a plate and sent him to the table too. Dave looked at his brother, "I can't believe you are up at 7" he said. "WHAT?! there is no way that it is only 7 am." "Believe it Buster! I have to get up early on the weekends to go to work and that is usually when I cook." Rene had a bottle of ketchup in her hand when she sat at the table. "What's that for?" Dave asked pointing at the ketchup. "My eggs." Rene answered. "EWWW...GROSS!" The boys said in unison. They watched as she covered her plate in ketchup and as she took her first bite. "MMMMM Good" She said rubbing her stomach. The boys didn't want to try it so they just ate their food. Rene ate quickly and stood up, "Rinse your plate off and put it in the diswasher when you are finished I am not your maid! I'm going to clean up my mess then get ready for work." She walked back into the kitchen and quicky cleaned up her dishes. She went up the back stairs and got her jeans and white shirt out for work. She went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth and put her hair up in a ponytail. She changed into her work clothes. After she was finished she went and knocked on Jill's door and opened it. She wanted to tell her that there were leftovers in the fridge. What she saw was Bob and Jill's sleeping figures. She quietly shut the door and crept down the front stairs. Dave was sitting on the couch searching for something on TV. "Hey Dave! Come Here! You Gotta see this!" He got up and followed her upstairs. She opend Jill's door again and Dave saw his brother sleeping with his arm flung over Jill's side. "AWWWW How cute!" He whispered. "Isn't it? Hey hang on I got an idea! " Rene turned and went to her room. She came back with a camera in her and leaned in the room and snapped a picture. The flash went off and Bob grunted. "He's gonna wake up, we better get out of here." Rene said. "No he won't he's a heavy sleeper trust me." Dave said. "well I have to go gotta get to work." Rene said. "Where do you work?" Dave asked. "Country Mart, its the grocery store up the street." "Oh, Have fun!" Dave said cheerfully. "I will, its a blast today I work with Crystal, Sherry, and Betty. They are tons of fun!" Rene said just as cheerfully. She shut Jill's door, and went downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs she grabbed her coat and purse. "I'll be home at two or around there. Tell Clint for me please Dave." "Okay, I'll relay the message." Rene walked out the front door and to her car. Dave heard her start it and leave. He went and sat back down on the couch and continued flipping channels. Finally about 10:30 or so someone came tromping down the stairs. It was Clint. He rubbued the sleep from his eyes. "Where's Bob?" he asked. "In Jill's room, sleeping." Dave answered. "Okay, well where's Rene?" "At work." He answered again. "She says to tell you that she'll be home around two or so." "Oh Okay, any food around here?" Clint grumped. "Yeah, Rene made some breakfast before she went to work." Dave said. "She cooked? What did she cook?" Clint asked in disbelief. "Yeah, she made scrambled eggs, sausage, and you can make yourself some toast if ya' want." Dave said flipping to much music. The Serial Joe video for 'Silently Screaming' was on. Dave left it there. Clint looked at his brother in disgust. "Why can't you just watch MTV or VH1?" "cause they don't play the cool stuff." Dave said. "Whatever," Clint said walking to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and found a plate of food already fixed for him. *She must have done it* He stuck the plate in the microwave for a few minutes and ate quickly. Scott came out of his room after Clint was done eating."Hey Bro! Enjoy your breakfast?" Scott asked. "Yeah, it's really good we should get her to cook more often!" Clint said setting his plate in the sink. "Uh-Oh! You can't do that! It must be washed off and put in the dishwasher." Scott said teasing his brother. "I can get away with it I'm sure," Clint said cockliy.
"Yeah, right! I highly doubt it." Scott said. "I'm gonna go change and explore the town. Wanna come?" Dave said to his brothers. "Yup! let's go." Scott said. "Nah, I'll stay here and chill its almost time for Nae to get home." Clint said. "We were gonna go by her work and go a few other places so that you knew where to drive tonight when you went out tonight so that she won't have to drive." Dave said. "Well then I'll go," Clint said sunddenly agreeable. "Yeah, That's what I thought." Dave said laughing. "Okay well let's go change." Scott said. 20 minutes later they three boys met up in the living room. Clint was showcasing a somewhat subdued wardrobe, he had on a pair baggy khakis, white t-shirt, and a blue plaid button up shirt. "Calm wardrobe there bro," Scott commented. "Well I didn't know how they dress here so I don't want to embarass Nae at work."Clint said nonchalantly. Dave had on a pair of black jeans and baby blue sweater. "When did you get that sweater?" Scott asked. "This morning out of your closet." Dave said smiling. "When did I get that sweater?" Scott mumbled to himself. "Who knows? Clint said eyeing his brothers choice in clothing. He had a shirt on that looked like that it was a reject from the 70's, orange vinyl pants,(author's note: Hey Jill, Orange pants!!! I was thinking about you) and his hair looked like he just ran his hand through it. "I think that is a bit much for this place." Clint said. "You are probably right but oh well let's go." Scott said. "I get to drive!" Dave said grabbing the keys from the hook they were on in the kitchen. I don't think so." Clint said. "I'm driving," Scott said grabbing the keys from Dave. "Should we leave a note for Bob and Jill?" Clint said. "Yeah, probably." Dave said grabbing the marker for the dry erase board hanging by the phone. Here's what the note said: Bob & Jill-- Scott Clint and I went to see Nae and sight-seeing be back soon. There's food in the Fridge. Dave "Okay, let's go!" Dave said putting the cap back on the marker. They grabbed their coats and headed out to their rental car. "Okay how do we get to where Rene works?" Scott asked his brother. That's why I wanted to drive! Go to the stop sign and turn right, at the next stop sign turn right again, go four blocks and turn left then turn into the country mart paking lot." Dave said. "How do you know how to get there already?" Clint asked is brother in disbelief. "I went to see here earlier so that I knew where to go," Dave said simply. "Oh," Clint said. "We're hear," Scott said. They got out and locked up the car. When they walked in the store Rene saw Scott first. She started laughing. by the time they got to the Deli, she was laughing so hard she had tears coming out of her eyes. "Scott, honey you can't dress like that here they will take you to the state hospital in Osawatomie." Rene said wiping the tears from her eyes. "Crystal, C'mere you gotta see this!" Rene said motioning to a short pregnant girl. "OH MY GOD!! What planet did you come from?" She asked. "Canada," Scott said eyeing Crystal. Rene leaned over to him "Back off she's engaged and pregnant." "Oh that explains it. Betty, Sherry come here you gotta see this! Crystal said. Betty wiped off her hands and walked over to where the group was standing. "Did you mother let you out of the house like that, young man?" Betty asked cringing at the sight of Scott's pants. "She doesn't know," Scott said looking at the floor. Then Sherry walked over. "Rene are these the boys that are going to be living with you for a while? OH MY GOD!! What are those?" Sherry said eyeing Scott. "Pants," Scott answered. "Sorry he forgot to take his meds before he got dressed," Dave joked. Sherry looked at Rene "Now young lady, I don't know if this was such a good idea I mean look at him." "Sherry its okay he's from Canada he's a little weird. The weird one is Scott, the one with facial hair is Clint and you guys know Dave from earlier. Are Jelly-bean and Bobert up yet?" Rene said looking at Dave. "No, they are still sleeping like babies in Jill's room. And Where in the world did you come up with Bobert?" Dave answered. "From some fan fic story I read and so ever since then I've called him Bobert." Rene answered him. She looked at Clint "Are we still on for tonight?" "Yeah, we are." Clint said giving her a cheesy grin. "Come on help me with my break out so I can leave." Crystal said. "Sorry guys gotta go, Sherry doesn't want Crystal to pull one of those boxes down on her." Rene said apologetically. "No problem see ya when you get home." Clint said. "Hey would one of you guys wake up Jill and see if she has to work tonight?" "Sure, Clint will do it he's the only one that can wake up Bob without being killed." Dave volunteered.
Jillian's eye's fluttered open. When the sleep cleared out of her eyes she realized that Bob was staring back at her. "Well good morning," Bob said to her. "Oh my goodness you startled me." Jillian said. You wouldn't believe the dream I had." "Why don't you tell me about it and I'll see if I believe it." Bob told her. Jillian took a deep breath and started her story. "Well I woke up and you were looking at me so I said good morning to you and you didn't say anything so I started shaking you and nothing happened you were dead! It was horrible." "It's okay, I'm here. I'm not going any where I promise you." Bob said trying to calm Jillian down. He hugged her. They laid in bed holding on to one another then Jillan opened her eyes to look at the clock. It read 1:35. "We have to get going Jess will be here soon and I don't feel like facing her." She crawled out of bed and onto the floor. "What am I going to wear today?" She was really talking more to herself than to Bob. "Let me choose." Bob said. He got up and ran to her closet. He picked out a black tank top with the word 'HOTTIE' in red lettering across the front. A red sweater in case it got cold and khakis. "Here wear this." Bob said. "Okay, you go get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs." Bob kissed Jillian on the forhead and walked across the hallway to his room. Jillian hurried to get ready and ran downstairs. Bob had beat her downstairs. She looked him over. "Well, do I pass?" He was wearing a pair of loose blue jeans and a white structure tee shirt. "Yes you do!" "Are you ready to go?" he said smiling. Just then the front door burst open. Jess walked in with Ryan. "You don't know how ready I am to go." Jillian answered. Bob took her hand and they brushed past the two invaders and walked out to Bob's rental car. It was a 2000 yellow mustang. "Cool car awesome color!" Jill said. "Yeah that's what I thought." Bob said and they got in and sped off. *Clint and Rene* Clint paced nervously in the living room. "Why are you pacing, Clint? Snap out of it! Repeat to yourself JUST A GIRL!! RENE IS JUST A GIRL!!" Dave said. Scott laughed at his brother for acting this weird about a girl. "No this is not just any girl, this is Rene. There is a HUGE difference." he turned and looked at Jill, "And would you please turn off Serial Joe!!" "No, I love these guys!! The lead singer is way HOT!!" Jillian said smiling. Bob reached over and snatched the remote from her grasp. "It's time to turn the channel." Bob said flipping to MTV. "Don't worry," she said petting Bob's head, "You are TOTALLY hotter than Ryan!" "Thanks, for the compliment, and since I'm totally hotter than him we can turn them off right??" Bob said settling down on the couch next to her. "What's in it for me if I let you turn them off?" Jillian said giggling. Bob got up and drug her off the couch and upstairs. As they were going up the stairs Rene was coming down. She walked into the living room and did a little turn. "Well, what do you think?" She was wearing dark brown leather pants and a wine colored v-neck top. "Umm....uhhhhh....uhhh." Clint stuttered. "Nice pants," Scott piped up. "Thanks, Scott!" She said smiling at him. I grabbed my jacket that matched my pants and my purse. "Ready to go Clint?" I said. "Yeah, sure let's go." Clint said finally finding his tounge. He made sure he had is wallet and his keys. "Hey Bob! I'm taking the car!" He screamed up the staircase. No reply came from upstairs so the two walked out the door. Clint went and opened the passenger door for Rene and she got in. He shut the door and ran around the car to get in on the driver's side. He quickly drove to the resturant. When they got there he ran around the car and opened the door for Rene. "Oooh a real gentleman!! I'm so impressed." Rene said. "That's right! Shelia rasied us right!" Clint said smiling.
