A:N// Hey you guys! Thanks for the reviews. They are much appreciated. If anybody has any ideas that might be good in the story, then let us know! We are more than open to any suggestions. Okay. You know the drill R&R!
"What were you guys doing out there?" Reid asked with a smirk on his face as Tyler and Ashley entered the room.
"Just talking," Ashley said with a shrug.
Reid disregarded this comment and nudged Tyler in the side when he walked past him.
Tyler merely laughed and shoved Reid back.
Hailey started to unpack the groceries, while occasionally setting a few things aside.
"What are you doing?" Pogue asked Hailey.
"Getting stuff out to make something to eat," she answered him.
He nodded.
"Do you want any help?" Sarah asked.
"Sure," Hailey smiled at her.
"The girls can cook while the guys," Kate trailed off in mid-sentence. "Don't help so the kitchen doesn't burn down."
The girls laughed while the guys acted as if they were hurt.
"There's a playstation in the living room if you guys want to play that. I'm not sure but I think we have four controllers," Hailey told them.
"I highly doubt that you girls have any games that we guys would like," Reid smirked.
"We have Halo and Halo 2, midnight club 3…" Ashley's voice trailed off.
"Plus DDR!" Hailey added.
"What is DDR?" Caleb asked.
"Only the coolest game ever," Ashley insisted.
The guys still looked dumbfounded so Hailey decided to explain.
"It's the game that you dance and you have to hit your feet on the arrows."
They looked like they understood which game she was talking about and they headed off into the living room.
"What are we going to make?" Sarah asked.
"Ashley's home-made spaghetti," Hailey answered.
Ashley grinned and started pulling out pots and pans.
"Hailey can you get the stuff to make the sauce?" Ashley asked.
"Sure," she nodded her head and began getting the ingredients together.
"What do you want us to do?" She pointed from herself to Kate.
"You can help Hailey remove the skins from the tomatoes," she instructed.
They nodded and sat down at the table with Hailey, who had already begun peeling the tomatoes.
"This is so gross," Kate complained while flicking a tomato skin into the trash.
Hailey laughed. "That's what I first thought, but I'm used to it. And that's the scary thing."
Kate and Sarah laughed while Ashley was too busy filling two pots with water.
"Okay well we need music if we're going to do this," Hailey announced.
The girls nodded with grins on their faces and Hailey walked over to the radio and turned it on. She pressed play on whatever CD was in and "Don't cha" by the Pussycat Dolls started to sing through out the house.
She cranked it up and started to dance a little.
Ashley was stirring a pot while she was shimmying her shoulders back and forth.
Kate was bobbing her head while cutting the tomatoes.
Sarah took a spoon and started singing into it.
Hailey started laughing and was dancing around the kitchen while getting the rest of the supplies.
Pogue walked in followed by Reid, Caleb and Tyler.
"What the hell are you guys doing out here?" Reid asked while stretched his arms.
Amused looks crossed their faces as they realized what the girls were doing.
Sarah turned around to find the entertained guys and she dropped the spoon on the floor.
"Oh hey you guys. We didn't hear you come in," Sarah explained.
Sarah and Kate blushed, while ceasing their dance movements.
Ashley and Hailey however, did not plan on stopping any time soon.
Once they realized that Kate and Sarah weren't going to continue their little dance party they stopped with bummed looks on their faces.
"Oh come on you guys. Just cus the guys are in here doesn't mean the party should stop," Hailey complained.
"If this is their reaction to us doing this, imagine when we take them clubbing," Ashley added.
A wide grin suppressed Hailey's face.
After a few moments of awkward silence Reid spoke up.
"When's the food gonna be done?"
Hailey pointed her spoon at him. "You just be lucky that we're feeding you. Because I think we could eat it without you guys," She threatened.
The girls all nodded in agreement and Reid was quickly pulled out of the kitchen by Tyler.
Once the boys left the room the girls started to laugh.
"Are you guys always like this?" Sarah asked.
Hailey and Ashley looked at one another and grinned. "Of course," they answered.
Kate and Sarah shook their heads with smiles on their faces and continued to do the work that they were set out to do.
"The skins are all gone. What now?" Kate asked.
"We have to put them in water so the seeds fall out," Ashley explained.
Sarah nodded and helped Kate put the tomatoes into a bowl of water.
"The seasoning is all done, so all we have to wait for is the tomatoes," she explained.
Hailey nodded and popped a chopped up tomato into her mouth when Ashley wasn't looking.
"I saw that," Ashley announced.
Hailey rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at Ashley's back.
"I saw that too."
She laughed and began rinsing the tomatoes.
Reid walked into the kitchen and put his empty soda can on the counter.
"What's cookin good lookin?" Reid asked Hailey with a grin on his face.
She laughed "Ashley's home-made spaghetti."
He nodded. "Well hurry up," and with that he walked out of the room.
"Sorry about Reid," Sarah apologized.
"Why? It's not your fault," Hailed told her.
"I know but sometimes he's just such a…"
"Dick?" Kate finished her sentence.
Sarah laughed and playfully hit her friend.
After another twenty minutes of cooking and talking the meal was finally done.
Hailey put the pasta on the table while Ashley walked over with the steaming pot of sauce and placed it on the table.
Sarah and Kate just finished setting the table when the guys walked in.
"I'm hungry," Reid complained.
"Well, come and eat," Ashley said with a smile.
Ashley sat down next to Hailey and Tyler sat on the other side of Ashley. Reid was across from Hailey and next to Pogue who was next Kate who sat next to Sarah who sat next to Caleb.
"This looks really good you guys," Tyler complimented.
Hailey nudged Ashley in the ribs. "It's Ashley's home-made recipe."
Ashley rolled her eyes then looked at Tyler and smiled. "Thanks Tyler."
"So what was up with you guys dancing earlier?" Pogue asked Kate.
The girls giggled a little before Kate answered. "Nothing, it was just girl stuff."
"Come on Pogue, you know you liked it," Hailey teased.
Pogue and Caleb shook their heads.
"I know I did," Reid grinned.
Hailey laughed and took a sip of her water.
"So where are you guys' parents?" Caleb asked, swallowing a bite of spaghetti.
Hailey looked at Ashley, whom nodded.
"Well mine are off somewhere in the Bahamas, probably screwing as we speak," she chuckled to herself.
"Mine died two years ago so I came to live with Hailey," Ashley explained.
"You anything like your parents?" Reid teased.
Hailey raised an eyebrow. "If you're looking to get in my pants Reid, then you've got to have better pick up lines like those."
Reid shoved a big bite of spaghetti into his mouth, with pieces spilling out.
"That's really mature Reid," Caleb said.
Reid grinned through his mouth of spaghetti and began chewing.
After they finished eating everyone cleared their plates and Ashley began to rinse them and put them into the dish washer.
"Just do it later Ashley," Hailey told her.
"But I'm not going to want to do it later and you know I hate a dirty kitchen," she explained.
"I'll help," Tyler offered.
Hailey winked at Ashley and left the room.
Ashley just smiled. "Thanks."
"No problem. I mean it's the least I can do since you made dinner."
She giggled. "Yeah but I did have some help."
"But isn't it your recipe?" he asked.
Ashley nodded.
"So how did you get so good at cooking?"
"Well when Hailey took a dancing class I was always bored so she told me about this cooking class around the same time. So I decided to take it and I learned a lot," Ashley explained.
Tyler nodded his head.
"I also learned a little bit from my mom before she passed away," she added.
"I'm sorry," he apologized.
"It's okay. It's not your fault," Ashley told him.
"Well if you don't mind me asking, how exactly did they die?"
"They died in a car accident. They were hit by a drunk," she explained.
He nodded his head with sorrow in his eyes. "I'm really sorry," he said again.
Ashley forced a smile. "It's okay, really."
"Yeah but I could never imagine what it would be like to lose both parents."
She nodded. "Well, it's hard. But enough about me. Tell me about yourself."
Tyler grinned. "Well both my parents are alive. I go to Spencer's Academy with everyone who's here and Reid's my room-mate. I have a black hummer that he is constantly stealing," he chuckled.
"He doesn't have a car of his own?" she asked.
"Nope, and it's not like he couldn't get one. He just can't take the responsibility," Tyler explained.
"Doesn't surprise me," she laughed.
They finished up the dishes and walked into the other room to see what everybody else was doing.
Sarah and Caleb were cuddled up on the couch, as were Kate and Pogue.
Hailey and Reid were sitting on the floor playing each other in midnight club 3.
Ashley noticed that Hailey was winning by a little.
Reid pushed Hailey and she almost dropped the controller.
"Hey! That's cheating," she protested.
He laughed.
Caleb looked up at this and glared at Reid.
"So…" Ashley began.
Hailey dropped her controlled and swirled around to face Ashley.
"You're not even going to finish the game?" Reid protested.
"Nope," she shot at him. "I don't play with cheaters."
He chuckled and finished the race, despite his partner's drop-out.
"I know that look," Hailey laughed at Ashley.
"Let's play a game," Ashley suggested.
"What kind of game?" Pogue asked.
The girls grinned at one another.
"Truth or Dare."
