Liz: Ummm....Hi. Yeah, it's me.
Lucky: Hi
Liz: Are you there to go out with Gia?
Lucky: What are you talking about?
Liz: It's ok Lucky, I know
Lucky: (lost) Know what?
Liz: Ugh! Don't play dumb! I know about you and her.
Lucky: What about us? We're friends?
Liz: Well that too, but I know you're also more than friends
Lucky: Look, if you heard this from Zander... I wouldn't bet money on it...
Liz: I didn't hear it from Zander, I heard it from Gia!
Lucky: (stunned) She did?
Liz: Yes, she did. She called me and asked me if I would go psycho on her if she started going out with you as more than friends. She didn't want to wind up like Kristina... may she rest in peace.
Lucky: You wouldn't go that far would you?
Liz: (laughs) Cut me some slack Lucky! I wouldn't have *killed* her... beat her to a pulp? Yes. But killed her? Pssh... (laughs and Lucky is silent) Lucky? Lucky, I'm kidding! God...
Lucky: Well... as odd as this is, I'm really glad you *don't* have a problem with this.
Liz: Yeah, it's fine.
Gia: (comes down the stairs) Who's on the phone?
Lucky: (turns around) You wouldn't believe me
Gia: (smiles) Try me
Lucky: Elizabeth
Gia: (looks away) Oh...
Lucky: Yeah...
Gia: Umm... I can explain? (walks towards him)
Lucky: Hmm... well she called to talk to you so... (to Liz) I'll talk to you later Elizabeth
Liz: Ok, bye
Lucky: (covers receiver (word?) to Gia) Here you go (hands phone to her) You and I (smiles) are gonna talk later.
Gia: (smiles and rolls her eyes) (he starts to walk past her) Hey (grabs his arm and he turns around, and she kisses him
Liz: (yelling into the phone) Gia?? Hello? Hey Gia!
Lucky: (pulls back) I think since it's long distance, I'll be on the couch (walks by her)
Gia: (smiles and turns around, now talking into the phone) Hey Elizabeth, sorry...
Liz: Yeah, you better be
Gia: Uh-huh, what do you want?
Liz: Nice to talk to you too
Gia: Sorry, I'm just in a bit of a rush
Liz: It's all right, I'll make this quick since you obviously have bigger and better things to do
Gia: Yeah yeah... just say it already
Liz: Ok... actually.. (Gia sighs heavily) how come you didn't tell Lucky you asked me if it was cool if you two hooked up?
Gia: Because it didn't come up in conversation! Now will you please stop procrastinating and tell me what's going on?
Liz: Ok... well... I'm uh... see... Jason and I are... well... we're expecting (grins slightly)
Gia: (slightly confused) Expecting? (it clicks) Oh! (quiets her voice) Ohhh.... ummm... wow
Liz: Yeah, and I uh.. I know Lucky is there so I understand if you don't want to say anything or ask a whole lot... I didn't really have the heart to tell him right now... but that's cool if you don't say anything.
Gia: Ok... (smiles) good... but I will definitely call you later
Liz: Good, I'm glad
Gia: I'll talk to you later
Liz: Ok see ya
Gia: Bye (hangs up) (quietly) wow
Lucky: (walks up behind her) wow what?
Gia: (turns around, startled) Huh? Oh. Nothing, I just wasn't expecting her to call
Lucky: Obviously, otherwise you wouldn't have let me answer the phone
Gia: (smiles and steps towards him) Or I would've let the machine get it
Lucky: (smiles) Ohh, yeah, that would've worked for me
Gia: Uh-huh (they kiss)
Lucky: (pulling back) So what did Elizabeth have to say?
Gia: Umm... nothing important
Lucky: Well... that's... odd
Gia: Why's that?
Lucky: (has his arms draped over her shoulders, and is twirling her hair/braids whatever) Oh nothing...she just usually has something to say... but it's all for the better because I wanted to get you off the phone as soon as possible
Gia: (raises her eyebrows) Really?
Lucky: Yes... I've missed you...and me... and our fun...
Gia: Oh (rolls her eyes) romantic
Lucky: What? I thought we were playing by our rules and no one else's?
Gia: So?
Lucky: Well anyone else would make this really gushy
Gia: Good point
Lucky: Want to hear another good point?
Gia: Ehh... save it for later (kisses him)
~Later on, in Gia's bed~
Lucky: Can I tell you my other good point now?
Gia: (half-asleep) If it means that much to you, go for it
Lucky: Ok, there was no point in you changing considering your once clean clothes are now (motions to the floor) laying on the floor
Gia: Oh now you tell me
Lucky: You wouldn't listen!
Gia: All right, all right... you win
Lucky: Thank you
Gia: Now can I make a point?
Lucky: Sure
Gia: We've had our fun, so now it's time to sleep... considering I've been sleep deprived for about 2 days...
Lucky: Right. You're right, let's sleep (sinks down lower in the bed)
Gia: (closes her eyes only to open them again) (subtly) You're in my bed...?
Lucky: (opens his eyes) Do you have a problem with that? Because I can leave...
