Amy awoke to the sound of her cell phone ringing. She begrudgingly rolled over to glance at her alarm clock, and she cringed when she saw the time. 6:05 AM. Who the hell...? She didn't even finish the thought. Ugh. That ringtone. She reached for her phone, and made a mental note to get back at Janet for giving Bobby a personal ringtone , "You Are My Sunshine" nonetheless. She tapped the green answer key on the screen. "Bobby, how many times do I have to tell you..." Amy began, only to be cut off by a cheerfully awake Bobby Matthews. "Hey babe, wanna grab some breakfast? Like a breakfast date?"
Amy rolled her eyes and grumbled something unintelligible. "Uh, Amy? You there?" She drew in a deep breath and began again, slowly, for Bobby's benefit. "Bobby, how many times do I have to tell you that we broke up? No, I don't want a breakfast date, or a lunch date, dinner date, movie date, mini golf date, double date, or! go dancing, go for a walk, go somewhere to talk about it or any of the other million things you've called me to ask me about in the two weeks since we broke up!" Amy was a little surprised by the ferocity of her outburst. Well, ferocious for her anyway. She did feel a bit bad. "I'm sorry Bobby, but we just aren't meant to be."
"But, babe..."
"Bobby! That's it!" Amy wished for the satisfaction that came from violently ending a phone call by slamming it down to hang up. Instead she tapped the red 'End Call' on the screen, sighed, and tucked her hair behind her ear. Her wrist communicator started to sound off a shrilly sequence of beeps. "It can't be. It can't be. No one could be that dumb." But one look at her D.E.B.S. watch proved her wrong. She threw it inside her desk drawer and slammed that shut. She felt a little better at the resounding sound it made.
Amy yawned, stretched, and glanced once again at her alarm clock, now 6:12 AM. She longed to roll over and go back to sleep, but she decided she should probably just get up. She opened the door to the hallway, where she witnessed Dominique throw a pair of jeans and shoes down the stairs, and yell at someone "Get out, I don't do laundry!" Amy couldn't help but laugh as she headed towards the bathroom to jump in a quick shower and get ready for the day. She shook her head and thought to herself, "maybe I just need to take a cue from Dom and have a little fun for once."
Janet sat at her computer desk in her room, and logged onto the newest dating site she decided to try, . She had been on several horrible dates in the past two months of trying the online dating scene. The first two dates hadn't even complimented the new cardigans she bought for each of the occasions! She sighed heavily but her perky attitude managed to outweigh her frustration. Janet knew there was someone out there for everyone. Right?!
She began creating her profile. "OK" she said aloud to herself. "Likes? Shopping, cute animals, pink, sweaters, teddy bears..." She trailed off. "Oh my gosh I sound so lame!" She deleted everything but shopping (after all, what girl doesn't like to shop?) and started typing again, filling out the rest of her profile. She smiled to herself, and before sharing her profile she had a flash of genius. "I'm not gonna be CuteCardiGirl on this site!" She quickly typed in a new handle and thought "this should land me some better dates!"
Janet logged off, opened her bedroom door and was about to head down the hall when a man in just his underwear emerged from Dominique's room and did a walk of shame down the stairs. Dom appeared in her bedroom doorway, lit cigarette in hand and smirked at Janet. Janet gasped in a breath, rolled her eyes at Dom and said "Please don't smoke in the hallway!"
She stalked down the hallway to the bathroom, still annoyed at Dom, only to become positively aghast that the bathroom was occupied. "Who is in the bathroom? It's my time in the bathroom!" Bang. Bang. Bang. She heard a muffled "What?" from Amy. "Amy, it's my turn!" Amy stuck her head out into the hallway. "Sorry Janet but "You Are My Sunshine" woke me up today." Janet grimaced and looked down at the floor. "He really likes you Amy!" She slammed the bathroom door. "Yeah well, you're gonna have to wait until I'm done now!"
Damn! Honestly, why anyone would design this house with only one bathroom for 4 women is sooo dumb. "You guys! We really need to work on the bathroom schedule! Half the time one of Dominique's...uh...friends...is in there during my time! It's not fair!" No response from anyone. It's so hard to stay cheerful when no one cares about the little things!
Janet sighed loudly and went back to her room to pick out a sweater to go along with her uniform. And to look for her gun. "Oh, where did I leave it?"
