Chapter 1

The entire gang was lying around the loft being their usual lazily selves; Roger and Collins were discussing something, Mark was putting together a film, and Maureen was half asleep with her head resting on Joanne's lap, while the lawyer played with her hair, as she talked with Mimi and Angel about nothing important.

Collins stood up after he finished his conversation with Roger, now walking over to join the girls in the living room. On his way over he stopped so he could playfully tickle Maureen's feet that were dangling over the edge of the couch.

"Don't." Maureen huffed as she curled her feet under her.

Collins chuckled as he took a seat on the arm rest of the chair Angel was sitting on. "I'm just playing around, relax."

Maureen sighed. "Well I'm not in a playful mood."

Collins grunted at the attitude Maureen was giving off. "No shit."

Maureen rolled her eyes, and then reached up so she could pull Joanne down for a quick kiss.

"Is it that time of the month again?" Collins asked in a teasing tone.

Maureen pulled away from Joanne and glared towards Collins. "What the hell is your problem?"

"Maureen." Joanne said in a warning tone.

Collins got up, giving Joanne an 'I know how to handle this look' he then hovered over Maureen, and began tickling her.

"Collins!" Maureen shouted through laughter.

"Is someone in a bad mood?" Collins teased in a baby voice, as he tickled her some more.

Maureen laughed while she tried to grab his hands. "That tickles!"

"That's the point." Collins chuckled.

"I'm going to pee my pants!" Maureen shouted.

"I'm going to laugh!" Collins shouted back.

"Dude let her go." Roger said with a smirk. "Remember the last time you tickled her, she threw up."

"Ew." Mimi and Angel both said at the same time, as they moved away from the laughing brunette.

Mark walked over with his camera, zooming in on the tickle fight. "That's because she was wasted when he was doing it."

"Pookie!" Maureen cried out, "Make him stop."

Joanne kissed the top of Maureen's forehead, pulling away with a smile on her face. "I'm sorry honeybear I like to see you squirm, it's kind of a turn on."

"Joanne!" Mimi said surprised by her words.

Joanne shrugged smiling towards the dancer, who had a smile on her face.

"Collins please!" Maureen said. "I'll kill you!"

"I also love to see her beg." Joanne added with a wink.

Collins laughed at Maureen's pleading. "I'm already dieing, so it doesn't matter."

"I'll kill Angel!" Maureen shouted.

Collins suddenly stopped, with a smile on his face. "No one will be killing my honey."

Maureen smirked. "Well you better stop me then!"

Before Collins had any idea what was going on, Maureen knocked him to the ground, and captured Angel.

"Maureen." Angel said with a hint of laughter. "You're not really going to kill me are you?"

Maureen shrugged, and pulled Angel close. "You'll have to wait and see."

Mimi jumped up and down with excitement. "Somebody capture me!"

Roger smirked at his overly excited girlfriend, so he scooped her up bridal style, and rewarded her with a long, over dramatic kiss.

"That was dramatic." Mark said. "That's something Maureen would do."

Angel sighed, as Maureen brought her hands behind her back. "And capturing me isn't dramatic?"

Mark bobbed his head, as he filmed Collins pull himself up off the floor, and charge after Maureen. In turn Maureen gently tossed Angel on the couch next to Joanne, and slipped away from Collins strong arms.

After about two minutes Collins finally got hold of Maureen, and lifted her over his shoulder.

Angel smirked towards Joanne. "Aren't our lovers so mature?" She sarcastically asked.

Joanne grinned. "Very."

"Collins put me down." Maureen demanded, as she hung over her shoulder, with her messy brown curls swinging everywhere.

"Are you in a better mood?" Collins asked.

"Yes." Maureen answered.

"Okay." Collins said, as he roughly tossed her on a chair.

"Hey." Maureen said in a hurt tone. "Watch it; I'm a tiny little woman!"

"More like a tiny dramatic woman." Collins corrected her.

Maureen pouted as she checked herself over, making sure her clothes were proper.

"You know," Collins began as he sat down next to Angel, snuggling her. "One day your lips are going to stay pouted."

Maureen just glared at Collins as she stood up, to go sit on Joanne's lap. On her way over to Joanne, she spotted a hole in her shirt. "Oh my god! Collins look what you did!"

Collins looked at the hole on her shirt. "How do you know I did it?"

Maureen placed her hands on her hips. "Were you not the one just fighting me?"

"I wasn't fighting, I was tickling." Collins stated.

"So you admit it?" Maureen asked. "You put a hole in my shirt?"

"Mo I didn't put a hole in your shirt." Collins said sternly.

Maureen showed Collins the hole again. "I beg to differ!"

"Oh come here." Joanne said as she pulled Maureen on her lap, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Man Mo, you can be such the drama queen sometimes." Collins said.

"Enough with the drama queen shit." Maureen said in an angry tone. "I'm sick of it."

"Whoa." Collins said.

Maureen angrily stood up. "I'm sick you Collins!"

"Mo, what the hell?" Collins asked a little hurt. "I thought we were having fun?"

Maureen shrugged as she headed for the door. "You were having fun! Not me."

"Mo!" Collins called out. "BFFL best friends for life."

Maureen put on her shoes, and slid the loft door open, while Mark filmed the whole thing. "No Collins! BFFN…best friends for NEVER!"

Before anyone could say or do anything Maureen left the loft, and headed home.

"What the hell?" Collins asked.

"She was clearly have a bad mood day." Angel said, while giving Collins a tender kiss on the cheek.

Before anything else was said, the door slid open and Maureen came intruding in to grab Joanne's hand.

"Joanne why didn't you come with me?" Maureen whined as she dragged her towards the door. "Thanks for ruining my exit!"

Joanne mouthed the words sorry to the rest of the group, as she let Maureen pull her back to their apartment.

Everyone else sat around flabbergasted at what just took place.

Mark set his camera down. "Man that really sucks."

Collins nodded. "I know Maureen and I never get into fights."

Mark shook his head. "No…my battery died just as she was throwing that tantrum, so I got none of that on film."

"It's okay sweetie." Angel said while pulling Collins in for a kiss. "You two will make up…its just stupid high school drama."

Mimi and Roger finally rejoined the group, after making out since they started. "Where did Mo and Jo go?"

Mark rolled his eyes at the couple.

Collins then stood up pulling Angel up with her. "I don't want to talk about it."

Soon after an upset Collins and a supportive Angel left.
