A/N: Oh my lord, all I can say is that I love you all. And, I just found out the friend I usually get to beta my stories for me can't anymore, so is anyone interested?
This chapter is short too, but I figure I'll update at least every three days, so that should even it out a bit.

Readingcutie428- I love Massington too!
If dreams could come alive- I try my best to make it adorable, so I'm glad you think so, and thanks, my friend was telling me about her dream house, and that's where I got the tunnel idea. I think I'd go crazy too, being locked up, and you'll have to wait and see! All will be explained.
LilyLilyLoo- Thank you, thank you, thank you! You're so sweet! But I'm not actually all that great. Oh, and thanks for the review on my drabble. :)
thelittlewitchgirl- thanks for your suggestions, I'm glad you like the idea.
princessjen211101- PROMISE!
Jealousmuch- MASSINGTON FOREVER :) That was actually my pen name for awhile while I was thinking of what I wanted it to be. Anyways, no Massie – Coma - Amnesia from me, that's way overused!
Massie could feel Derrick staring at the side of her head. She was lounging on the couch in a New York Rangers hoodie, black sweatpants, and a New York snapback, all belonging to Derrick. Turning to look at him, she raised an eyebrow.
"Can I help you?" She asked innocently.
"Nope. My house remember?" Derrick stuck out his tongue.
"My face." Massie shot back.
He just chuckled and returned to looking up information. "My clothes."
Massie pouted. "Fine, you win."
Derrick grinned triumphantly. Massie tossed aside her notebook.
"Seriously, what? Do I have ketchup on my face or something?" She asked.
"No, your face is perfect." Derrick muttered.
"What?"
"I said no." He repeated.
"I think there was more than one syllable." Massie retorted. "So what?"
"Nothing." Derrick insisted.
There was no way he was telling her the truth.

Kemp, followed closely by Claire, Cam, Josh, Chris and Alicia. Massie and Derrick were sprawled out on the floor. Well not sprawled, more tangled up in each other, as they seemed to be using each other for pillows. The other six friends immediately took out their phones and started taking pictures, until Derrick woke up, and saw them.
"Oh shit." He muttered.
They all started laughing, which made Massie stir. Wrinkling her face adorably, she mumbled "go 'way" before waking up completely.
"Why are you all waking me up?" She asked grumpily, sounding like a little kid.
"Well-" Josh started, but Claire elbowed him in the side and he shut up.
"No reason!" Chris smiled innocently.
Massie's eyes narrowed. "Harrington, what's going on?"
"Sure, she goes for the weak link." Cam muttered.
"I am not weak!" Derrick protested.
Alicia giggled. "Sure, and I'm secretly an albino." She teased.
Massie kept her amber eyes on Derrick. "Derrick Harrington, tell me!" She insisted.
"Check their phones." Derrick motioned, his eyes looking everywhere but at his friends.
Massie lunged suddenly for Claire, who shrieked in surprise and backed away. Massie had grabbed her phone though, and looked at the pictures on it.
"You all have five seconds to run." She threatened. "And then, and I'm sure D will agree with me, I might kill you."
They took the warning seriously and scattered, heading for the tunnels in various clumps. Alicia and Josh and Cam headed for Cam's house, and Kemp, Claire and Chris turned for the Hurleys.
"You take Claire, I'll get Alicia." Derrick told Massie, who laughed and nodded, following them.
"THAT WASN'T FIVE SECONDS!"

The six culprits tried valiantly to slip away from Massie and Derrick, but the latter were too good of a team for them to escape. They all collapsed on the couch in Massie's basement room about half an hour later, gasping for breath, from the tickle wars that happened.
"We should have a group sleepover tonight." Alicia spoke from her spot on the white La-Z-Boy, looking at Massie, who was lounging on the purple one. "We haven't had one of those in forever." She added, turning her gaze to the rest of her friends.
They all nodded, prompting Massie to speak. "Well, you guys can go grab whatever you need, and then we can just camp out down here and watch movies and play childish games and shit, just like old times." Massie suggested.
There were various forms of agreement, and the guys dragged themselves off to get pajamas and their favourite movies and video games. Claire and Alicia remained behind, knowing Massie would just lend them clothes.
"So, are we going to make them watch chick flicks today?" Claire asked jokingly as she painted her nails a dark blue.
"Oh, I'm thinking Titanic, A Walk To Remember, Dear John, the Notebook, maybe Valentine's Day, and then we'll pull out some Disney, and we'll save the horror for tonight, when it's late and we'll get scared shitless." Massie mused.
"Sounds like a plan." Alicia agreed. "And video games in between of course?"
"Of course, I like COD as much as the guys do." Massie laughed.
"You're so competitive Mass." Claire tossed a pillow at her friend.
Massie ducked and it flew out the open door behind them.
"Hey!" A male voice shouted from behind them.
All three girls twisted around, and saw Josh rubbing his head. They glanced at each other, biting their lips, so they wouldn't laugh.
"Who threw that?" Josh demanded.
Massie and Alicia stayed silent, not even glancing at Claire, who had a completely innocent expression.
"It was Bean." Massie announced. "I taught her how to do that one day when I was bored." The cover was obviously bullshit, but no one pushed it, the three girls were an even better team than Massie and Derrick. The boys doubted even the CIA's most effective interrogation tactics would get them to betray each others' secrets.

"Oh Block, you are so going down!" Cam crowed as he and Massie competed in an intense Mario Kart game.
"In your dreams Fisher, you've been trying to outdo me for years. Never going to happen." Massie shot back, keeping her eyes on the game as she shot over a rainbow-arrow-speed-patch-thing and shot ahead of Cam.
He rolled his eyes in response, and hit a rainbow cube, lucking out with a rocket, and shooting ahead of her. Massie gasped in outrage.
"How dare you rocket ahead of me!" She shouted.
Cam snickered. "Can't keep up Mass?" He challenged.
Massie used one of the golden mushrooms to shoot into first, five spots above Cam's own place. "Funny, I was just going to ask you the same."
The others were watching, laughing, and jeering and cheering as Cam and Massie playfully trash-talked each other.

In the end Massie won, per usual, and Cam with good nature, albeit a little disappointed, accepted his defeat. They were watching Shutter Island, a movie that never ceased to creep Massie out, and make her hide her head.
She was sitting on the couch with Derrick when they came to the creepy cave scene, in which she covered her ears with her hands and ducked behind Derrick, looking like a little girl as she did so. He chuckled quietly, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders in a familiar way, making her relax and start watching again, as always.
"We should really stop watching this movie." Massie whispered.
"But then you wouldn't get scared as quickly, and I wouldn't be able to do this." Derrick whispered back.
Massie stared up at him in surprise. "I guess it's a good thing then." She muttered, and dropped her head onto his shoulder. They were both unaware of Josh and Chris watching them, and both boys were making mental notes, taking in everything.
