"Good morning Vi" Nick said, as Vi happily bounded down the stairs and sat on stool besdie Brian, after graciously excepting a cup of Milk Nick handed her. "Good Morning" Vi replied. "How's my litle Viva Gordita doing this morning?" Brian asked, as Vi gave hima weird look. "Fine..........Thanks" she said. "Yeah....I bet Aj kept you happy" Nick said. Vi shot him and evil glare and tyhrough a piece of Brian's muffin at him. "That wasn't nice" Nick said. "Oh well....get used to it" Vi replied, and took anoither sip of her milk. "Besides...........me and Aj are ancient history. Where's no?" Vi asked. "Oh........her and the rest of the guys went somewhere....and said to let you sleep" Brian replied. "Howie Aj and No? OOO.........coiuld spomething be going on here?" Nick asked. Brian quickly wadded up a napkin and through it at Nick, who caught it and threw it back. It missed and landed on the floor. Vi quickly grabbed it nad tossed over the counetr into the trash can." SWISH!!" she said, and hopped happily back onto the stool. "What'd you do that for?" Nick asked. "Because you two are acting like 10 year olds........and you shoukdn't throw stuff at each other" Vi replied. Brian chuckled, and Nick gave hima weird look, "What you be lookin' at, boy?" Brian asked, using his best old-southern-farmer accent. "Nothin' pappy," Nick said, imitating Brian's accent. "Just, the cows are loose, that's all." "Lordy!" Brian yelled, still with his phony accent. "Get yer Ma! Get yer Pa! Get John Boy! If Old Man Joe sees them cows, he'll shoot 'em fer sure!" Brian continued Vi nearly fell off her stool laughing, and Nick and Brian joined with her. "You twp are so square" she said. They stopped laughing and looked at her. "Square?" Brain asked. "It's a compliment........it means your funny, but retarded.....kinda' like a giftard" she explained. "Giftard? Hay....I like that!!!! Did you here frick.....we're giftards" Nick said happily. Vi rolled her eyes, "I'm glad your excited.........now if you would excuse me, I would like to get something decent on" she said, and bounded up the stairs. Brian followed her and then he looked back at Nick who was smiling, "oooo..B-Rock........." Nick teased. Brian smiled then his smile faded, "No man.......Leigh-Ann remember?" he said, and shook his head, and headed to the living room.

"Why do we have to get blue and green?????? Why can't it be yellow?" Aj whined, as he followed Noel to the check out counter. "Because blue and green are Vi's favorite colors, and we were lucky they had this in her size." Noel explained, tossing a credit card to the clerk. "Well personally...the girl don't deserve what she wants" Aj mumbled. "Aw.........did Vi hurt my poor Baby Bone? Your just mad right now..........thats all" Noel said, while they walked out the door. They looked around for Kevin and Howie who had decided to wait in the Jeep. "why exactly are we buying her gift again?" Aj asked after shutting his door. "Because Bone........her mom died.......she needs something to cheer her up." Kevin explained. "Yeah well blowing off me seemed to cheer her up alot" Aj said. "Okay AJ.......we get the picture. You think she's a slutty little whore now..........but get over it!!!!! Look, when we do our concert, Merissa will be there, and you can go get hooked up with her again.........OKay? but today....try to be nice, and if you can't, I suggest you keep that smart mouth of yours shut, because if you say one rude thing to her I'll jack slap you inot tomorrow" Noel said. Aj shifted alittle and then looked at her, "Fine......." he said, and turned up the radio. Mam I hate girls........cept for the cyte ones!!! he thought, and smirked.

Vi pressed the paly button on her Cd player, as stepped over to the mirror to apply some make-up and fix her hair. "Give me love, Give me love, LOve me goodZ" she sang to Michael W. Smith, on her WOW 99 cd that she had recently bought. ***AN in case you don't know WOW is a cd put together 30 phinominal christian artist, and a new is released every year. It rocks........so you should go get it!!!! The guys would want you to.........*** "Ahh......heaven has blessed with the voice of ANgels" Nick said, as he and Brian walked into her room, and they both flopped down on her bed. "Are you planning on going outside or sumthin'?" Brian asked noticing her out-fit. Vi was wearing a pair ofGray Leisure pants, a blue tank top, and some Addidas b-ball shoes. She nodded yes, not being able to speak since she had a pony tail holder in her mouth, "Yes...as a matter of fact I was. I was also gonna; see if you guys wanted go shoot some hoops." she added. Brian and NIck looked at each other and smiled, "Of course we would" they said, and stood up as Vi shook her head. "Um.....wait........to play basketball, we need a basketball" Nick said. "Not to fret my friend...." Vi said, and tossed hima regulation sized NCAA basketball. "Do you always carry a basketball with you?" Brian asked. "Oh yeah.........Always........I mean...what's the world without b-ball?" she said. "Uh.........I really seriously hope your joking" Nick commented. "I am Nicky......I just happen to toss it in my duffel bag when I was packing.........do you seriously think I'm that weird?" she asked. "i won't answer that..." Brain said, "And you can't make me" he added. Vi rolled her eyes, and grabbed the ball from Nick, "Lets go Boys.." she said, and hurried down the stairs, outside to where there was a court.

"Hey Kev........do think Nick and Bri have spilled the plan yet?" No asked from the back seat. She was leaning in between the two front seats. "You never know with those two." KEvin replied. "I know.........I think teir brains stopped mentally growing when they were 13" Aj added. "Tell me about it. They act so stuopid together.........but....from what I've heard from Vi.......Brian's awfully sweet" No said nudging AJ. "Don't get your hopes up No........he's got a girl friend" Kevin said. "So...what she doesn't know can't hurt her" No said. Aj smirked, "NO No.........Brian diesn't act like AJ" Kevin said. "Was there a oun intended in that sentence?" She asked. "No No there wasn't" he said again. Aj laughed again, "I'm not as bad as she outs me to be......I really do have a big heart...but she will never know that" Aj said. "No........but she has some pretty good polaroids" Kev said, then gasped. "Crap" he mumbled. "What?" Aj asked, turning to face NO, who probably had some idea what Kevin was talking about. "Well........I was walking past your room, and I just happened to get some pictures of you last night after she blew you off" Noel said cringing at the scowl on his face. "Oh god.....you guys are going to ruin me by the end of this tour" Aj commented. "He....and think...we still have six months left" Kevin said. "Yippy Skippy" Aj mumbled, and leaned his head bacl and sighed.

"She shoots, fades back, and......scores!!!! NOthin' but net biys!!!!" Vi said, gettinf the rebound and tossing the ball to Nick. "Your good........where'd you learn to play so well?" Brian asked, getting Nick's rebound, and stopping in front of her, as she finished a sip of water. "Well.......I grew up surrounded by my nrothr and his friends, and became quite the tomboy. However...being athletic hasn't gotten me any where relatuonship wise. You two are like the only guys who don't care if i can kick their butts in basketball" Vi said. "Your exagerrating........someone had to like that" Nick said. "Nope.........all throuhg Junior, and HIgh school, every guy was afraid to challenge me to anything, whetehr yet ask me on a date. I justs at back and let No have all the fun" Vi explained. "so she isn't athletic?" Brian asked. "Not unless you call running around the mall a sport. To me a challenge is running six miles a day. To hera challenge is gping one day without make-up." Vi said. BRain and Nick laughed and rolled their eyes. "You don't act like that much of a tomboy" Nick said. "If you went to school with me you would think better..........everyone thought No and I were the weirdest two friends ever" Vi said. " Let me have some" Brian said, and Vi tossed him her water. "Why did they think that?" Nick asked. "OKay........picture this. No is wearing a skin tight tee and a mmini skirt, heels,a nd her hair is down and all. I'm wearing wide leg roxy jeans, a Basketball tee and my hair's ina ponytail. It would like putting Aj and Aaron together" Vi said.
I'm running out of room so I'll send more in the following e-mail, plus you might need to proof some things.
Nick nodded, "That is weird....but hey...don't feel bad anymore. Now you've found not only 1 but 2 guys who like your sporty sdie" Nick said. "Yeah........we wouldn't judge you anyway........" Brian added. "Cool........but might I remind you, you still haven't taken me on that date yet" Vi said grabbing the Ball form brian's hands. Brian and Nick looked at each other. "Where do you wanna' go?" Brain asked. "Well......I hear the Knicks and Lakers are playing Friday.....if you guys could somhow get connections......I would love to see them play" Vi said. "We just might have a few connections........" Nick smiled. "But only if you make this nexy shot" Brian added. Vi turned around and shot the ball and watched as it swished thriugh the net. "It's a date then.........but just us three....if you don't mind" Vi said. "Okay....just us three......It'll be like the three musketeers." Nick said. "Yeah....All for on and One for all" Brian said in a mock british accent. "eye........ye noble men can wisk this fair maiden off o ala' De' Bsketball court" Vi added in frenvh accent. The guys laughed and turned as they heard Kevin pull into the driveway.
