"C'mon Jo. Pick up the phone. Pick up the phone. Pick up the- Hi! Where the bloody hell are you?" Yeah, she picked up the phone.
"I'm at the baggage claim. Oh, I see you."
"Where are you? I still don't see you." I scanned the area.
"I'm waving at you."
"Oh. My. God. No way! That is so not you." Ahhh! The short, brown haired geek I knew when I was younger now looked like a Taylor Cole clone only… with, you know, brown hair.
Joanna laughed.
"Ahhh! Jo!" I screamed and ran at her, pushing my way through a crowd of people. I flung my arms around her.
"Liz. Kinda…need to breath!"
"Too Bad!" I squeezed her harder.
"Slowly..losing consciousness."
I laughed and let go. I noticed people were staring at us. "Uh oh. I've attracted attention. We gotta go before this gets ugly."
"Huh?" She pushed away some of her dark brown hair away from her brown eyes.
"Don't ask. Lets just go. We've got quite a day ahead of us." I grabbed one of her suitcases and tried to pick it up. "Holy crap! What the hell do you have in here! Bricks?"
"Imagine trying to carry this one. That one contains all my makeup." Ahhh, this is why I love Jo. She's such a joker…at least I hope she was kidding. With Jo you never know. Jo and know. That rhymes. Hahahahahahhahahaha. Oh god. I'm having a laughing attack in my head.
"C'mon let's bring your stuff to the car." I led her out to the parking lot where I was (illegally) parked.
"I thought you didn't have a car." She loaded her stuff into the trunk.
"What Tom doesn't know won't hurt him." I slammed the trunk shut and grinned at Jo who rolled her eyes.
"He's ticked at you." Gio pointed her spoon at me "again."
"I needed the car!" I spooned out some the ice cream from her bowl. It looked like a mess. We had put all the contents of Danny and Dougie's fridge into the bowl with the ice cream. Let's see. We've got: gummy worms, hot fudge, gummy bears, caramel, gummy fish, twizlers brownie bits, cookie dough, strawberry syrup, maple syrup, whipped cream, sprinkles, candy cherries, root beer, reeces pieces, chocolate syrup, sour patch kids, m&ms, butterfinger bar, mini marshmallows, jello, chocolate turtles, junior mints, jellybeans, gumdrops, chocolate chips, peanut butter, chocolate icing, strawberry icing, and vanilla icing (Oh god, now I'm hungry.). Only Gio and I have the stomachs for all of this stuff. The guys tried it once and ended up sick for a week. The girls are scared to eat it.
"They were late for the Popworld interview. Olivia had to drive them"
"So. They're on that show like every flippin' week." Okay, so I was exaggerating but not by much.
Gio just rolled her eyes "So where's Joanna. I wanna meet her."
"Me too!" Jazzie called from the living room.
"Me three!" Izzy called from…I have no idea where she is.
"She's unpacking the stuff at our place then coming over here." I share a house with Gio.
Just then the doorbell rang. "IT'S OPEN!" I shouted.
Jo's voice reached us before she did "So, exactly what kind of plans did you have in mind because frankly, I'm a bit worried."
"Trust me. You should be." Gio said when he reached the kitchen.
I rolled my eyes at her "Gee, thanks." I pointed my spoon at them "Gio. Joanna. Jo. Gio. Now make with the happy."
"Ohhh! Joanna's here! I wanna see!"
"Yeah. Jo, Screamy McScream Pants over there is Jazzie Jazz." I took another spoonful of the 'ice cream'.
Jazz stopped in the doorway "Yo."
"Hi" Jo gave a half wave to both girls. "Um, what is that?"
"It's like my energy source. My power fuel. My-"
"It's choc full of sugar isn't it?"
"You know it!" I said, stuffing my face with a spoon of vanilla icing and m&ms. Joanna reached for a spoon but Jazz stopped her.
"Trust me. If you value your life you won't eat that."
"Why? She'll kill me?"
"No. It , on the other hand, will." Jazzie and Jo laughed.
"Um, guys! We've kinda got a problem." Izzy's voice came from somewhere downstairs.
"How much you wanna bet she lost Zukie. Again"
"You're on." Gio smirked and we led the way to Dougie's 'Lizard Zoo' in the basement.
"Uh, what's a Zukie?" Jo asked, trailing behind Jaz.
"Dougie's favorite lizard."
"Oh."
I opened the door at the bottom of the stairs to the Lizard Lair. Yeah, this place has a lot of names. Anywho, the place is lined with glass cages from floor to ceiling with glass cages. There are lizards, iguanas, and salamanders in those cages. Each one was labeled with their name, what they eat, and what kind of lizard.
Izzy was standing on the footstool in the middle of the room. "Um, I kind of lost Jerry."
Gio leaned over and whispered in my ear "You owe me five pounds."
Dammit.
