Disclaimer: Own nothing to do with Crossing Jordan… just the strange idea and the new characters.
A/N: Okay, this is just some random, fluffish type story… don't hate me for it's lack of substance… haha. It takes place anytime before things got rocky between Jordan and Woody, so somewhere in the middle of season four or something… I don't know. I'm just trying to get my mind off the fact that Jordan is with J.D. and Woody and her aren't even friends right now in the show off my mind…
----------
Jordan could not believe the excited voice she heard on the other end of the telephone. She had to say something, they expected her to, but what could she possibly say? "Uh, great, but two questions."
"Sure." The voice exclaimed in a voice that made Jordan cringe. How could anyone be that peppy and excited at, what time was it anyway? Too late, or too early, depending on how you looked at it.
"When and why?"
"We'll be there tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning… and we just thought it would be fun to have a girls' week."
"Sierra, a girls' week? We're like thirty! We don't have girls' weeks." Jordan protested, but couldn't help smiling at how crazy her friends were, and how crazy she must have once been.
"Jodi, we are having a girls' week whether you like it or not." Sierra told her. No one had called Jordan Jodi for years and years. It sounded really weird to hear it, but it also made her miss her old friends and the fun times they always had when they were together. "What do you say Jodi? Please, for me?" Sierra pleaded in an, if possible, more girly, sweet and excited voice than she had before.
"Fine, I'll see you at nine tomorrow, is that all Sierra?" Jordan asked sweetly, hoping to god it was.
"Yes Jodi, but Jess and Lara want to say hello, alright?" She answered. Jordan wondered how often the other three girls still hung out; did they still all live together for gods sakes?
"Uh, sure." Jordan answered before she heard the phone being passed from one girl to another with shrieks of excitement. The shrieks got louder as Sierra handed the phone to Lara, who was always the loudest out of the four.
"Jodi!" She screamed, "How are you girl?"
"Hey Lara, I'm good, how are you?" Jordan replied, wrinkling her nose at being called Jodi for what seemed like the millionth time that day. It had never bothered her years ago when she was called that all the time by everyone. She had thought it made her sound more girly and prettier at the time, but now she preferred Jordan, and she'd have to ask her friends to call her that when they got there, because she didn't want her new friends, a.k.a. the morgue staff, and Woody, Woody especially, to be calling her Jodi for another two months.
"I'm absolutely, positively 100 percent great! Well, I was 99 percent great before, but now we're seeing you, so of course I'm 100."
"Of course." Jordan answered with a laugh. She felt like she was her age, but her friends seemed like they were still acting like 22 year old girls. It could be fun for one week… or it could be torture. She would have to pick one or the other. She wasn't going to do that now though, she'd think about it later, after her ever developing headache went away. "So what are you three doing together at 2:00 o'clock in the morning on a Sunday night?"
"Well, we're reading some magazines, giving each other pedicures, you know, normal girl stuff." Lara told her in a very serious voice. Jordan didn't have the heart to ask if she was joking, because she knew she wasn't. Jordan didn't know what her friends' looked like now, but she had awful images of them a bit more aged than they had been the last time she saw them wearing tons and tons of makeup and the same clothes they had been wearing in University. For some reason, she didn't think she was that far off… but had she really changed that much? She would find out once her friends got there tomorrow morning.
"Oh I see." Jordan nodded, although her friends' couldn't see it.
"Yeah, what are you doing?" Lara asked, "Oh wait, never mind. Jess needs to talk to you now. Love you Jodi, see you tomorrow morning!"
"Bye Lara." Jordan replied with the slightest bit of sarcasm in her voice. She couldn't filter it all out, it was too impossible.
"Jodi, Jodi!" Jordan heard Jessica's voice scream into the telephone in a scolding sort of way.
"Hello Jessica." Jordan greeted the most superficial out of the three, if they were to be ranked.
"Girl, it's been way, way too long." Jessica decided after a second's silence. Her voice had toned down a bit, and Jordan remembered Jessica was the most sensitive of the three as well, and she was hurt by Jordan's less than enthusiastic greeting.
"It has." Jordan agreed.
"Seen any cute boys lately?" Jessica asked after another few seconds of awkwardness drifted over the phone. Jordan's mind immediately thought of Woody, but she wouldn't dare say it. Not when they were coming to Boston tomorrow, and they would no doubt see Woody at some point that week. They weren't stupid enough to not make the connection, but they were stupid enough to say something about it. And what was Jess saying, cute boys? What were they, 12?
"Uh, can't say I have." Jordan replied, trying to sound a bit more enthusiastic than she had been previously. "You?" Jordan shook her head. As if she was having a conversation about the 'cute boys' her thirty year old friend had lately spotted. Had these girls' not matured at all?
"All over the place. Sierra had a boyfriend for a while, and her boyfriend had a lot of friends." Jessica said pointedly.
"Sierra had a boyfriend, for how long?" Jordan asked curiously. Ugh, her curiosity and eagerness just reassured her that although it was nothing considered to her friends', she still had that young, peppy girl spirit inside of her. She wasn't all as grown up as she thought she was.
"A month and a half!" Jessica exclaimed, obviously very excited at this great accomplishment of Sierra's.
"A month and a half," Jordan whistled, "He must have been a piece of work, keeping Sierra that long." Jordan refrained from laughing, because once again, she knew her friend was dead serious about it.
"I know! Do you have a boyfriend?" Jessica asked Jordan.
"I said I haven't seen any cute boys lately, didn't I?" Jordan shot back with a giggle.
"Well Jodi, I was just asking because you were always the one who didn't have 'cute' as a specific requirement for a guy." Jessica replied with a giggle of her own.
"Jess! I'm offended!" Jordan joked. "But listen, send Sierra and Lara my love, and I really have to go. Where are you guys staying in Boston anyways? Do you need a ride to there from the airport?"
"I'll send the love, and of course we do. We don't know where you live, do we?" Jessica told her. Jordan froze. They were staying with her?
"Uh, okay, I'll be there… see you tomorrow then." She told her friend before hanging up the phone. What was she going to do? Sierra, Jessica and Lara in her apartment in Boston for one whole week. Sierra, Jessica and Lara hadn't changed, and she knew she had. She was a completely different person. She was the kind of person the other three girls would never hang out with, was she going to have to have two personalities that week? Or would she make her friend's deal with some maturity for once in their lives? She picked the phone back up and dialed Garrett's number, forgetting it was two in the morning.
"What the hell do you want?" Garrett mumbled into the phone. She had obviously woken him up, and that meant he was not in a good mood.
"Oh, sorry Garrett, I forgot how late it was." Jordan tried not to laugh into the phone at her mistake.
"You forgot? That's funny now isn't it?" Garrett replied, obviously not finding it funny at all.
"Well my friends are coming into town… and I'll be late for work, I have to pick them up." Jordan told him.
"That's it?"
"That's it. Did you think I was in jail or something?" Jordan laughed.
"No… well goodnight Jordan, get to work as soon as you can tomorrow okay?" Garrett replied with a slight chuckle and hung up the phone. Jordan hung up her own phone and headed back to bed.
