Stephanie laughed, "I TOLD YOU I COULD WHOOP YA!!" She laughed again in triumph.
Brian just laughed as he watched his friend roll around in agony and Stephanie dance around the room. All of a sudden Nick sat up.
"Okay, Missy!!You asked for it!" He looked thru his games and put mortal combat in.
Stephanie just looked at him, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, I'm gonna whoop your butt right now!!"
"Dream on Carter!!"
With that the game began, and Brian just laughed as Nick and Stephanie tried their hardest to beat the other.

"Wow, this one is pretty." Megan commented as she looked at a huge oil painting hanging on the wall of the art gallery Kevin and she had just walked into.
"Yes it is." Kevin replied.
They looked around finding some art to their taste and some that was a little on the strange side.
"Can I help you?" Came a voice from behind them.
Kevin turned to see the an absolute gorgeous women standing their. He looked at her for a minute without saying anything.
"...no, I.." Megan started but Kevin interrupted
"Yes, How much is this painting?"
"Um this one bottom price is $5'000."
Megan looked at the painting and back at the women, "Are you kidding?"
She smiled, "No, I'm not. My name is Laura and if there is anything you need I would be happy to help you."
"Um, Laura, I don't mean to be rude, but you look really familiar. Where are you from?"
"I know, you look familiar too."
"Omigosh!! Do you know Stephanie Thompson?"
"Why, yes I do. How do you.."
"I knew it, she's my best friend. I think we met at our high school graduation."
"oh yes, I remember. So, have you talked to Stephanie lately?"
"Um, yeah, she's here in NY with me. We came up to visit some friends."
"She's here in NY? Oh where are you staying?"
"At the Double Tree."
"I'll have to call her, it's been almost a year since I’ve seen her."
Kevin watched this all take place and didn't say a word. "So, you guys know each other?"
"Oh, I'm so rude. Kevin this is Laura, Laura Kevin."
Laura smiled and then turned to Megan, "Do you plan to be here for awhile? I'm about to get off work, and if you are planning to go back to the hotel I could just go with you."
"Yeah, we were going to look around, that should be fine." Megan answered and turned to Kev, "Is that okay?"
"Yeah that is fine."
"Great! Okay, I will be back in like 10 minutes." with that she walked off and Megan just looked at Kevin
"What is the chance of that happening?"
"Well, slim to none I would guess. So how do you know her?"
"Oh I really don't know her. She's a friend of Stephanie's. They went to the same school and stuff, and I think their families are friends."
"Oh." was all Kevin said.
the continued to look around the gallery and in about 15 minutes Laura came back," I’m sorry."
"Oh, no problem." Megan answered, "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah. This is so weird, I can't believe I ran into you."
"I know. It's weird, but I can't wait until Stephanie sees you. She's gonna flip."

Howie was in his hotel room talking on the phone. "I'm glad you can come up. Are you sure it won't mess up your work schedule?"
"No, I'm taking time off so I can come visit you." The female voice said on the other end.
"I can't wait until the guys meet you. They will luv you I'm sure, but not as much as me of course."
"Oh, whatever."
"Have you told them yet?"
"No, I'm gonna wait until they meet you. That way we can tell them together."
"Oh okay."
"Well huney, I have to go."
ME too, I'll talk to you later tonight."
"Okay, I love you."
"I love you too."
With that Howie hung up and about wet his pants when he turned around to find A.J. standing there.
"Who were you talking to?" He asked
"Umm...no one." Howie answered nervously.
"Well, it had to be someone because you said you loved them."
Howie looked around the room. What in the world was he going to tell A.J., he knew he couldn't tell him the truth......
