I had been walking around the mall all day with Broadie and T.S. Nothing much had happened. Silent Bob did his token Batman impression. Fly, fatass, fly, as Jay would say. Rene and Broadie had broken up *again* and T.s. wasnt so sure of what would become of him and Brandi, though the talk show did help things a bit. And I had been a silent witness. Save for Bob crashing into the change room whilst getting changed. Theres nothing scarier than that.

But I had noticed this really, really cute blonde guy who had been ratting around like us. He was with an equally cute blonde guy, who was taller than him. They sat in front of us in the audience, turning around to say Hi to my friend Trish Jones. Everyone knew her. I was about to ask who her 'friends' were, when I was brought into their converstation.

"Oh her, thats just my friend." Trish waved me off. How could she do that? The shorter, cute blonde guy was asking about me, and she waved it off?

"I was just asking Trish." He turned to me. Oh my god, he was looking at me. "So what's you name?" whoa..what nice eyes he had. Kinda grey and blue at the same time.

"I'm Emily. and you are?" I almost forgot my freaking name. He was staring right at me. I wonder if he could tell i was blushing?

"Jason. ANd this beside me, is Adam. I'm guessing you already know how we would know Trish?" *For those of you who DONT know this, RENT MALLRATS!!!!*"Oh ya...doesn't everyone know about her study?" He laughed. What a nice smile. And I was sitting there, grinning like an idiot. I better say something.

"So, umm..You come here often?" Oh gawd, did I just say that? It sounded like a pickup line. Though, picking HIM up wouldn't be a bad idea....

"No, Adam and I were just passing by, and we remembered Trish had said something about this mall, and we decided to stop by and check it out. Figures we come by on the oddest day ever." He must have seen Silent Bob's big scene. "And what's up with the dancing boy, and his monkey?"

"Oh, that's just Jay. And the monkey? No clue." Jay had done some sexually deviant things in his time, but a monkey? I can't see that.

"You mean good ol' Suzanne here? Ya, shes one sweet chimp, if ya take my meaning!" I turned around to see Jay standing beside me, arm and arm with a monkey. Silent Bob slinked next to him, ever-present cig dangling from his mouth.

"Jay, you've done some questionable things in you time, but a monkey?" I laughed hard, seeing the look of question on Jason's face. Trish could care less, she was flirting with Adam, probably gonna use him for her 'study'. Jay took the empty seat inbetween Bob and I, sitting 'Suzanne' on his lap. This only made me laugh harder. And making Jason look at me like I had 3 heads. Suzanne was flailing her arms around, and I got out of the way, opting to move up an row, and sit beside Jason. I was not gonna talk to Jay anymore tonight. He was just getting too weird for me. Jason was still looking at me.

"What was that all about?" I must have looked like such a loser. Oh well.

"Umm, you don't wanna know. Its Jay, and that's about all I can tell ya. You don't wanna know the rest. At least you weren't around when Broadie Stink Palmed Brandi's dad....he can't stop puking now. Its gross. And with the debut of his show....it was awful." He shot me the strangest glance ever. I wish i could just melt into the chair....

"So, are you from around here?" He was asking me, good thing too, cause I didn't know what else to say.

"Nope, I was born near Toronto, in Canada. Notice the lack of a Jersey accent?"

"Near Toronto? Thats amazing. Where?"

"A little, teeny, little town called Newmarket." His eyes shot out his head at this.

"I lived half an hour away from there! Ever heard of Orangeville?" My turn for the surprized look.

"Yea! I drove through there tons of times. You lived there? Wow...how could we not have met? I used to work there!" Dammit, I didnt know there were so many hot guys from around there. How could I not have seen this one before?

"Where did you work?" We were both talking like hyper twelve year olds.

"Don't you dare laugh. Mcdonalds." He laughed. I expected it."Hey, everyone has to have their start. And what do you do?" I asked slyly.

"Well, now you can't laugh. I'm a wrestler." Since when had such hot guys started wrestling? I stopped watching years ago."You're not laughing?"

"I was just wondering when such good looking guys started wrestling?" Oh crap, did I just say that out loud? I'm gonna pay for this one. He just laughed. "So how long are you in town for?" Good recovery.

"Just for today. Then we have a show in New York. Do you live here? Or are you still stationed in Newmarket?"

"I'm just here for the week. Good thing too. I can't take anymore of Jay back there. He never stops hitting on anything that moves, but thank Goddess for Suzanne...."

"Well, in two weeks, I've got four days off. We should get together or something." Try to keep your mouth closed, girl! He did just ask you out. BREATHE.

"Yea, I'd love that." Uh-oh...did that sound too eager? Hope not. As long as he's still talking to you....

"Okay, well, seeing as you probably won't know when I'm home, I better get your number, and I'll call, and set something up." WHoa....he wants to set something up with me? Haha, suck it Trish! So, I wrote down the digits, and gladly gave them over. He stuck them in his pocket. Adam and Trish were still flirting. She could hold a man forever. Good thing I got at least one of them.

"What time do you have to go?" He glanced at the watch. I hope I didn't remind him that he suddenly had to jet off or something.

"We leave in the morning." Oh thank Goddess he couldn't read my thoughts.

"So, umm, wanna do something now? I mean, if you're not busy." Oh ya, that's smooth. Chalk one up to me.

"Well, I was gonna rent a video, and go back to the Hotel...If you wanna join me, thats cool." Go back to the hotel? With this fine young man? No-one needs to ask me twice.

"Sure! And my friend, Randell works at this shitty little video store, but its worth the trip into Leonardo, just to see the crazy guy. He'll make ya laugh. And we have to go to Quick Stop, to see Dante. You heard what happened to his girlfriend...." So, as we're walking to his rental car, I engage in the tale of Dante Hicks, and his poor girlfriend. *RENT CLERKS IF YA WANNA KNOW* We walk into the video store, and Randell is no where to be found. Return of the Jedi is playing on the TV.

"Hold on. Wait right here" I slip out, next door to Quick Stop, and sure enough, there was Randell, engaged in conversation with Dante, who was re-tagging the Twinkies.

"Uh, Randell? You're needed over at RST. Care to help?" He looked at me.

"Sure, Em. For you?" He walked out the door, as I waved to Dante.

"Well, for me and my possible, future boyfriend." He opened the door to RST and hopped behind the counter.

"SO what are we in the mood for tonite? We got Navyseals in?" Jason shot another one of his what the hell is going on glances.

"Uh, no. How about something funny and sweet?" I nodded. Good suggestion Jason.

"Okay...well, we just got Chasing Amy in?" I freaked. My fave and fairly true to life in Jersey, from what I had found so far.

"Sure. I haven't seen it yet." Good one Randell. Now Jason and I get to see my fave movie. I could have hugged him.

"Well, here ya go. On the house, but only for you, Em." I leaned over the counter and kissed that clerk on the cheek.

"Shall we?" Jason said, opening the door.

"We shall. And screw going to see Dante. I wanna check out this movie." Dante could wait.

"He works in the convience store, right? I was hoping to pick up some whip cream..." Wow...did he just say that?

"And do they have rope there too? I could use some gum.." WHoa....we needed to see Dante...NOW. I dragged Jason next door.

"Dante, get your ass out from that counter, and grab me some whip cream, a rope and gum, and don't even ask." Dante rushed out, and came back with the three choice items. I grabbed them, and ran out with Jason in tow, promising to pay Dante back someday.
