Two Weeks seemed like an eternity for Amanda. During that time Officer Jesse Beaudry was killed, her good friend Patrick Drake was risking his life by being a living donor to his dad and her step brother Lucky was in the hospital yet again.
"Do we have to go," Lulu asked heading downstairs, "I mean Lucky is in the hospital yet again and my dad is about to run away again on some adventure."
"I think some sisterly bonding will be good for you," Amanda said.
"You're not my sister," Lulu said, "You're just the cool older daughter of the step monster."
"But you admit I'm cool," Amanda said.
"Fine," Lulu said, "you win I'll go."
"I'd drag you if you said otherwise," Amanda said.
Lulu laughed and the two girls finalized packing and headed out.
Meanwhile...
"So I finally get to meet this girl Markey," Roger said to his friend and roommate, "If she's anything like the picture then..."
"Then what," Mark asked.
"You did well for yourself," Roger said, "So you said she was bringing her sister."
"Her SEVENTEEN Year old step sister," Mark said, "and anyway Mimi what would she think."
"Good point," Roger said, "you know she'll be out in a month unless the disease takes her first."
"Mimi's a fighter Roger," Mark said, "She'll make it."
OUTSIDE...
"You've got to be kidding me," Lulu said as they pulled up to the loft.
Amanda shook her head and got out of her car dialing her cell phone.
BACK IN THE LOFT...
"What's that," Roger asked his friend.
"My cell," Mark said, "and before you ask it was a present from Mandy."
Roger nodded and picked up his friends phone.
"Mark's line this is Roger," Roger said.
"Roger," Amanda said, "is Mark there."
"Hold on," Roger said.
There was a sudden silence on the other line.
"Mandy so when are you getting here," Mark asked, "I miss you."
"Throw down the keys and we'll be up," Amanda said.
"Ok," Mark said.
The window opened and Mark walked out onto the fire escape.
"Here you go," Mark said.
Amanda smiled up at her fiancé as Lulu looked at her and made a face.
"Come on," Amanda said taking her sisters hand.
"Ok introductions," Mark said, "Roger this is my fiancée Amanda."
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you," Roger said, "I mean Mark has bee writing to you."
"I know," Amanda said, "And he has told me how much you're his Best Friend I'm sure he has asked you to be his Best Man."
"He has," Roger said, "Though I don't think I can make it to Port Charles and even if I could I don't think your mother would approve."
"Like the step monster approves of Mark," Lulu said, "Please she'd rather Amanda marry my half brother Nickolas Cassodine."
"And this Roger is my step sister Lesley Lu," Amanda said.
"Hey," Lulu said.
"Hey," Roger said back.
"Now that the fun parts over," Mark said, "Care for a tour."
"What's there to have a tour of," Lulu asked.
"Shout up and be polite," Amanda said, "we'd love one."
Mark and Roger showed the two girls around the small loft.
No sooner then they were finished when Mark's cell rang and Amanda looked at him.
"You having an affair," Amanda asked, "because as far as I know only two people knew your number and one is dead."
"Sam knows it too," Mark said, "and so dose Elizabeth, Nickolas, Jax, and Maureen."
"Maureen," Amanda said, "your ex girlfriend who dumped you for another woman."
"That would be the one," Mark said picking up the phone.
"Hello," Mark said pausing for a bit, "right now but Amanda is here...I'm sure she'll be glad to meet you too."
Mark hung up.
"I'm sorry," Mark said, "Maureen is coming."
