"You're going out again?" asked Brittany Irons.
"Why? What's the problem?" asked Dylan Han, her best friend. They were at Dylan's house and Dylan was getting ready for her date with Reid. They'd been going out for three months now.
"You know the commitment thing really doesn't suit you guys," droned Brittany. "Who would have thought? Reid Garwin and Dylan Han having an honest-to-goodness relationship." Brittany started poking Dylan with an umbrella she picked up on the floor of Dylan's room.
"Cut it out!" said Dylan as she threw a shirt at Brittany's head. "You're just jealous, Brit."
"Yeah, right!" snorted Brittany. "Like I'd want to be tied down to one guy?"
"Suit yourself," Dylan shrugged as she picked out a few shirts out of her closet. "I pity the guy who's going to fall in love with you." Brittany made a face at Dylan as she stood up to pick some shoes out for Dylan.
"Moving back here was a good idea," remarked Brittany. "How did you even fit all your clothes in your dorm?" Dylan had moved back into her house and brought Brittany with her. Her parents didn't live there so she had plenty of room.
"That's the beauty of having a single," replied Dylan as she picked out a green lace top. "You don't have any roomies who hog the closet." The doorbell rang and Dylan looked up at the clock.
"Right on time," said Dylan. "I knew he'd be late. Could you get that, Brit? I just have to pick out my shoes." Brittany groaned as stood up to go downstairs.
"You just had to pick today to give the maids a day-off," Brittany sighed as she went to answer the door. She opened it and saw Reid with his best friend Tyler Sims. Brittany had always had a crush on all the Sons of Ipswich. But now, Reid was off-limits and so were Caleb and Pogue. She wouldn't have minded dating Tyler but he was just too nice for Brittany.
"You look very hot today, Brit," said Reid as he looked her up and down. She was wearing her favorite short shorts and a flimsy pink tank top. Reid would never change. He was still a pervert but Brittany had to give him credit. He hadn't cheated on Dylan yet. That's quite something when you're talking about Reid Garwin.
"I know, dumbass!" said Brittany as she held the door open for them to come in.
"You planning on a threesome with Tyler?" Brittany asked sarcastically as she led them to the living room. Reid chuckled while Tyler just blushed. How cute.
"Nope," answered Reid. "But I did ask Dylan if we could have a threesome." Reid pointed at her and then himself.
"You are such a pervert, Reid Garwin!" Brittany cried as she threw a cushion at Reid.
"Hey," Reid said as he shielded his head. "She said she'd think about it!"
"Who'd think about what?" Dylan asked as she entered the living room. "Hey Ty! Why are you here? Are we gonna have a threesome that I don't know about?" Reid laughed at her while Brittany rolled her eyes. Tyler just blushed even more.
"You do know he's rubbing off on you?" Brittany asked sarcastically. Dylan just chuckled as she kissed Reid on the cheek.
"We're just gonna drop Tyler off at Caleb's" said Reid.
"Can't you buy your own car instead of always borrowing from Tyler here?" asked Brittany.
"It's on its way, doll," retorted Reid. "And you're not allowed to ride in it!" Brittany stuck her tongue out at Reid.
"Let's go dude," said Tyler. "Bye Brit. See you in school!" Tyler waved before going outside. Reid and Dylan followed him after Reid blew Brittany a kiss. Dylan just slapped the back of his head.

Reid drove over to the Crab-Shack by the docks. Dylan loved seafood so Reid never forgot to bring her there at least once a week. The waiter brought them to a table next to the window that overlooked the beach.
"Thank you," Reid told the waiter as he gave them the menu.
"Is Tyler going out with anybody?" asked Dylan as she scanned the menu.
"You're seriously not thinking about leaving me for him, are you?" Reid joked.
"No, you idiot!" Dylan said as she hit Reid with her menu. "I'm thinking about setting him up with Brittany."
"You're a smart girl, Dee," said Reid. "But I think you're a little off your rocker this time."
"What? Why?" Dylan whined. She thought that Tyler would be a nice change for Brittany. She was always dating assholes and jerks. She even dated Reid when he was an asshole.
"Do you even see the problem?" asked Reid. "Tyler and Brittany are complete opposites. They wouldn't even last a day together. If you're talking about one-night stands or considering the idea of them being fuck-buddies, I give you my blessing." Dylan hit him again.
"That's not what I mean," said Dylan. "Why can't they date? It's not such a bad idea. Have you ever heard of opposites attract?"
"Yeah, those are the ones who get divorced." Reid answered. "Tyler is studious, responsible and a sensitive guy. Brittany's a party animal, nymphomaniac and all-around bitch. No offense, even you know that." Dylan nodded in agreement. Even if Brittany was her best friend she couldn't deny the fact that everything Reid said was true.
"But I realty think that Tyler would be good for her," whined Dylan.
"I'm telling you, babe," said Reid. "That's a loss cause. Now let's order. I'm starving." Dylan sighed as Reid called the waiter. She was not going to win this argument.
A/N: That was just an intro about the lead characters of this one. There's still going to be a lot of Reid/Dylan but this time I'm getting a few ideas on a great climax.
