Thanks to my friend Marie for cheering me up and so I got in the mood for more writting of Claire and Alex! Thing is, I saw eppie where Claire's room is redecorated and I cried sooooo much...And than I read Marie's stories and smile came back to my face, really needed some C&A moments than! So, I was laying down on the couch in front of the TV and suddenly idea popped up in my head! And in few hours, I wrote this story – it's kinda short, but it's finished – imagine that!! LOL! I promise you that you will have good laugh while reading this! Reviews are more than appreciated, thanks in forward! Notice: Jodi, Tess and Claire are sisters here! Jodi is dating Luke and Tess is dating Nick. And Claire and Alex were never a couple!

Tess was in the kitchen, playing cards with Jodi.
„You're on", smiled Jodi, throwing popcorn in her mouth, smiling.
Tess pulled out a grimace as she stared at her cards. She huffed in frustration as she scanned the misery of cards in her hands.
„Come on, Tess, you can't think that much!", Jodi started to loose her patientce.
Tess grimaced even more and as she was about to throw a card, front doors slammed opened and shut ted down next moment soooo loud that Tess and Jodi screamed in surprise and their cards fell all over the place!
In next moment Claire showed up, furious as a hell and picked up the cards and sat down, leaving Jodi and Tess in complete shock.
Totally ignoring their looks, Claire started to shuffle cards and shortly said:
„Jodes, get us some ice cream."
Jodi glared at Tess and Tess looked back at her, than as Jodi got up from the chair and opened the fridge, Tess turned back to Claire.
„What happened?", asked Tess.
„Nothing", was Claire's short reply.
„Weren't you supposed to dig holes at Skinny Jim paddock with Alex?", asked Jodi, putting ice cream on the table.
„Don't wanna talk about it", Claire gave short answer once again and dealed cards with energic movements of her hands.
Jodi sat back down beside Tess, neither of them didn't dared to ask Claire anything else.
Tess carefully threw first card and Jodi followed her. Claire was staring at her cards, than angrily slammed one on the table.
„Bloody, stupid, drunken idiot!", growled Claire under her breath.
Jodi bit her lip, trying very hard not to laugh. Tess swallowed her laugh, putting one more card on the table. Jodi followed it and than again it was Claire's turn. And one more time, she growled silently in frustration:
„I can't believe he said it again! AGAIN! Like I'm some stupid useless machine as his stupid useless chopper!!"
Tess and Jodi shared a look, having no clue what the hell is Claire talking about.
Tess threw another card, Jodi followed and they looked intently at their oldest sister. Claire didn't moved and all of the sudden she threw her cards angrily in the air and jumped from the chair, exploding:
„Stupid drunken idiot!!" If there is former life, stupid Alex Ryan was bottle of homebrew in that one, that's for sure!!"
She stormed through the kitchen toward the fridge annd opened it. She scanned it for a second and in next moment she furiously slammed the doors of it.
„Jodi, where's that damn ice cream?!"
„Um...it's on the table, Claire", Jodi barely replied from trying to hold her laugh.
Claire grabbed bowl of ice cream and digged into it. Swalloweing mouthfull of ice cream, she continued:
„I mean, who the hell he think he is?! I mean, he is changing girlfriends like socks and than he has a nerve to tell me – ME – that he loves me more than his bloddy stupid chopper!!!!! TWICE!!!!!!!!"
That sent Jodi and Tess to bits of laughter. Claire turned on her heels.
„What, how can you laugh at this?! Oh, it's funny. Huh, it's hilarious joke to two of you, huh?!", Claire ranted, frustrated as a hell „How would you feel, Jodi, if Luke would come and tell you that he loves you more than a fridge?!"
That sent Jodi to even bigger laughter and she layed her head on her arms on the table and Tess leaned her head on her younger sister's shoulder laughing sooooo much that tears came in her eyes from all the laugh.
„Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!", Claire groaned in frustration and exited the kitchen, storming upstairs.
Jodi doubled over from laughing and Tess leaned on her chair, laughing loud.
„Oh, I can just imagine Alex like that!!", laughed Jodi. „That plastered look in his eyes and drunken talking!", she catched Tess's hand and squeezing it gently, she imitated Alex's voice „Claire, I love you more than my chopper!"
„Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, stop it, you're killing me!!", laughed Tess and Jodi laughed even more.
„God, I wish I could have seen that!", chuckled Jodi. She calmed down a bit while Tess still laughed slightly.
Jodi looked toward the stairs and glared back at Tess.
„How much uspet do ya think tha Claire is?", asked Jodi, suddenly geting worried for her big sister. Ever since she got aware of world around herself, Jodi was always seeing Claire and Alex closely by each other. They were nothing more than best mates, although it was pretty obvious that there are some stronger feelings there between those two.
Tess wiped her wet cheeks and followed Jodi's look. She nodded and said:
„You're right. We better check it."
