"Well Kelly, it looks like you got Nicky." Tabitha said to the little girl, who was happily sitting on Nick's lap. They were all over at Brian's house.
"YUP!" Kelly exclaimed and threw her arms around Nick's neck.
Nick was clueless. "What are you talking about?"
"Well, you see as soon as we got on the plane in LA she started her chanting. Kelly, tell Nick what you were yelling until we saw him today."
"Wellw, I was yewling 'I want Nicky! I want Nicky!'. I misseded you! And Bri- bri, Kwevin, Bone, and Owie!" Nick laughed and squeezed the little girl.
"We missed you too, Kel."
"You guys should have seen the look on her face when she saw you on Rosie. Megan and I thought she was going to collapse from excitment." Tabitha informed all of them.
"OK that's it! We hear about these friends of yours, but you never actually tell us anything about them." AJ was frustrated. Tabitha laughed.
" Would you like me to tell you about them?" All but Nick nodded. Lynn was inside enjoying some peace, while everyone else was out by the pool.
"Well, my two best friends, Jessica Foster and Megan Stratford, or Jess and Meg. They have both lived in James Town for about ten years. Jess moved from California and Meg moved from down here, I think she lived in Tampa."
"Meg has really long dark hair and hazel eyes that change color depending on her mood. And I'm just warning you now, if you ever see her eyes turn green, run!"
"Jess has dark hair also, but it is a lot shorter then Meg's. She has dark eyes."
"They both love sports and are both seniors at the local high school. I bet that if they were to chalange you to a game of B-ball Brian, you would have some competion."
"Do you have a picture?" AJ asked, liking the sound of Jessica.
Tabitha pulled her wallet out of her bag that was sitting on the ground. She pulled out four pictures. "This is all three of us. We were raising money for the school last year so we decided to have a car wash." She gave Nick a picture of the three girls. They were soaking wet and have soap in there hair. But they were laughing.
"And this is Jess, her picture from this year." She handed AJ the picture. "And here is Meg. That's this year too." She handed Brian this picture. "And last, this is me. Even though I'm not a student, they let me take a picture anyways." She handed Kevin her picture.
"You're not a student?" Nick asked, surprised.
"Nope. I graduated last year. Havinf a tutor most of my life helped alot and I graduated a year a head of the rest of my class."
"That's cool." Nick went back to looking at the picture.
"You all look like you have fun together." Howie comented, having looked at the picture that she had given Nick,
"Yeah we do. I tell them everything."
"Yeah, she twells dhem ewveyting!" Kelly said.
"Is there anything else you would like to know AJ?" Tabitha asked.
"Yeah. Is she single?" He asked, holding up the picture of Jessica. Everyone laughed.
"Actually, yes she is but she just broke up with her boy friend."
"OK!" They laughed again. The guys continued to pass around the pictures. When Nick got Tabitha's picture (he was the last to get it ) his eyes nearly popped out of his head. She was wearing a royal blue, sleevless dress, that went to just above her knee. The picture was taken from further away then normal school pictures, but so were Meg's and Jess'
"Hey, Tabs? Can I keep this picture? I think the last picture I have of you is when we were in pre-school, and they made us take those picture's with our best friends in the class." Nick asked.
"I remember that! Yeah, you can have that picture. I think I have a picture of Kelly, too. I might even have one of both of us, if you want them." She said, fliping through all the pictures in her wallet. "Here they are!" She pulled out two more pictures and handed them to Nick. The first picture was of Kelly. She was wearing a forest green dress and her hair was up in little clips.
The second picture was of the sisters together. Kelly was wearing the same dress as the first picture, and Tabitha was wearing a burgandy dress, the same style as Kelly's and her hair was back in clips too. Tabitha was holding Kelly and it was a full picture.
"Yeah, I'll keep these, that way I cacn show mom when she gets back."
"Yeah, sure Nick. That's the real reason you want those pictures." Brian said with a smirk.
"Brian, you need to shut up right now!"
"Bwrian, no shut up! Nicky, you have piture for Tabby?"
"She told you didn't she?"Brian said laughing.
"You'll get yours Frick. Don't worry, you'll get yours." Nick said laughing. She handed Kelly to Brian and grabbed his wallet out of his back pocket. He opened it up and pulled out a picture. He handed it to Tabitha. It was a head shot of him, taken a little earlier that year.
"Nice picture Nick. Kelly, look at Nicky's picture." She turned the picture around and showed it to her sister. While Kelly was looking at the picture, Lynn came out ofthe house, holding her cell phone.
"Tabs, it's for you. Meg." Tabitha nodded and took the phone from her mother. She walked into the house.
"Hey, Meg!"
"Hey, Tabs. Where are you? I tried the number of your place down there but no one was there."
"We are all over at Brian's house.........."
