After the movie they all went back to Taylor house. "It's a good thing I'm staying the weekend. He want you to meet him a couple of blocks away at 6:00." Taylor looked at Crystal and continued poking around on the computer. "So first we sneak out. Then you set me up on a blind date with out telling me, and now I am expected to go talk to this guy?" Taylor just shook her head irritably.

"I dont think he expects you to do anything. I think he's is asking you to go." As if on cue her cell phone rang. She answered it without looking at the ID and cursed herself when she heard his voice. "Hey Taylor. I just wanted to apologize. I didn't know that you didn't know what was going on. If you want to, you can come meet me at the address I gave your friend. If not it's okay." Taylor glared at Crystal and decided to blame her for anything that went wrong. "Umm, sure why not. I can't stay long but I can stop by I guess."

Jake breathed a sigh of relief that she wasn't blaming him. They said goodbye and hung up. "Your still mad." Taylor just glared at her. "Come on. We'll eat when we get back." Debbie saw the girls walking out the front door. "Where you girls going?" Crystal piped up. "We are gonna go meet Jake for a few. Just hang out at a park or something. Be back in a hour at the most." Debbie gave her consent told them to take Kurby, Taylors dog, with them.

Crystal took the leash and was pulled several yards away by Kurby while Taylor jogged after them. They talked about all sorts of random things while they walked to the street corner that Jake had given them. They were laughing hysterically when Jake showed up a few minutes later because Kurby seemed intent upon cutting off the circulation in Crystals legs and refused to release her. She had just fought her way out of the leash and was trying to breath and laugh at the same time when she realized that Jake was there.

"This dog is going to be getting a call from my lawers," Crystal told Taylor, throwing her hair back as if she were angry. "Oh, and what would the charges be?" Taylor shot back playfully. "Hm. I think intent to harm if i can get a good enough lawer. That ought to put him in the doggy pound!" Taylor and Crystal stood there glaring at each other while Jake looked on bemused.

Suddenly at the same time they burst out laughing. "Doggy pound...that was good if I do say so myself. Hey Jake." He grinned at them and Taylor smiled to acknowledge him. "Well if you got a really good lawyer you could probably go the whole nine yard and get him charged with attempting to perform a medical procedure with out a liscense. Amputation," He said to their confused faces with a smile walking around the dog as if appraising it.

"Dont encourage her." Taylor told him. "I can barely get her to stop." He gave her a ya wanna bet kinda look. He turned to Crystal who had been ranting about medical malpractice. He crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and tapped his foot impatiently, all while fixing her with a irritated look. He could give Debbie a run for her money, thought Crystal, shutting up with a rueful look on her face.

He grinned at Taylor who just sighed and muttered something about it only being because she had said something. Crystal took the dog and started running him up to the park gate. Jake gestured for Taylor to follow Crystal. She grinned and raced after Crystal, Jake easily keeping pace with her. They slowed down when they realized Crystal wasn't planning on stopping anytime soon. The walked around watching the other people at the park.

"Listen Taylor, I'm sorry I-" Taylor quickly cut him off. "No, no, it wasn't your fault. I should have been nicer. I didn't mind you being there I was just mad that Crystal forced me into it." Jake grinned at her slyly. "So you'd go out with me if I asked you?" Taylor raised her eyebrow as she grinned back. "You havn't asked!" She called over her shoulder as she ran to catch up to Crystal who was in the middle of collapsing on a bench, panting and being a drama queen.

Jake smiled and jogged after them. She's got style and looks, and attitude. What more could you want, Jake asked himself. Not much answered that little voice in his head. He caught up to her easily and grabbed her around the waist. "I am now." She didnt seem to know what to say as she pulled away from him. Jake jogged up to Crystal. "Pace yourself." He advised her wisely. She grunted and feebly flapped an arm at him.

"Come on we should get back." Taylor told her. Crystal glared at her and didn't move a muscle. Taylor just shrugged and grabbed her around the waist hoisting her up like a bag of potatoes. Crystal grabbed on to the bench and wedged herself under it as Taylor set her back down. "Well. Looks like we might be staying a little longer than planned. Looks like we might miss Doom," Taylor commented looking at an imaginary watch on her wrist.

Crystal was out from under that bench faster than she would have if she had been offered a cookie. Possibly faster than if she had been shot at. While still flying through the air from having bounded up so high, she grabbed taylor by the back of her hood and started pulling her and the dog unwillingly home. "Come on lets go," said Crystal in a happy go lucky voice. Jake stared after them with a face that was halfway between hiarity and incredulous-ness.
