Chapter 7: Field trip!

Randal stopped as he was walking to the Quick Stop to get the keys to the video store.

"Uh, hi." He said, seeing Lizzie waiting.

"Hi." She said awkwardly. "Um, do you know where Jay and Bob are? They were supposed to meet me."

"I don't know, they're usually here by now." He shrugged. "Last night my cousin said there was some sort of comic thing at the mall. They might be there who knows." Randal finished.

"Where is the mall?" She asked

"It's uh," He ws about to give her directions for walking when he came up with an idea. "It's really fucking far, I'll drive you."

"You have a car?" Lizzie asked incredulous.

"Of course not! I'll borrow Dante's!" Randal walked into the store. "I need to borrow your car!"

"No." Dante said not even looking over from the freezer where he was taking inventory.

"Please." Randal said, a sense of desperation in his voice. "I'm taking Lizzie to the mall."

"Even if I had my car, which I don't, I wouldn't lend it to you." Dante shook his head. "And Lizzie has a boyfirend, give it up man, you're starting to seem pathetic."

"What do you mean you don't have your car?" Randal said exasperated, "and she can always break up with Jay."

"I don't have my car, I leant it to one of my cousins, he needed it for a college thing." Dante shook his head.

Outside Lizzie stood waiting when an attractive girl in jeans and a tee shirt walked up.

"Who are you?" This girl said, a hint of malice in her voice.

"Oh, um, I'm Lizzie, I'm new. Who are you?"

"Right! I've heard about you from Randal. I'm Caitlin Bree!" She smiled and held out her hand. Lizzie took it and shook it still confused.

"From Randal?" Lizzie said with a smile. "Really?"

"Yeah, he has some kind of crush on you or something." Caitlin shrugged. "Well, it was nice meeting you." She walked into the store. "Hey Randal," she teased, "Just met your girlfriend. She's pretty, I totally don't get why she's with the little stoner."

"Yeah," Randal sighed, "We were just talking about that. Can I borrow your car?"

"Sure, just don't have sex in it or anything." Caitlin said throwing him the keys.

"Ah, only Alyssa gets that privilege when borrowing the car?" Randal teased, referencing Caitlin's best friend.

"Shut up before I change my mind!" She said, laughing as Randal walked out. "Hey, Dante I need to talk to you, I have some strange news."

"Got the keys!" Randal said as rushed past Lizzie. He opened the door to Caitlin's car.

"Great." She smiled as she stepped in. They sped off towards The Eden Prairie Mall. As they drove Lizzie sat looking out the window, she couldn't get what Caitlin has said out of her head. "Randal, um you understand that I'm with Jay right? I mean, you seem cool, and I'fdlike to be friends."

"Yeah," he said, "I know. Jesus, I'm driving you all over the fucking world to find him right? What else are friends for?"

"Ok, great." She said, but she had this feeling that he wasn't telling the whole truth. When they reached the mall they began walking and talking. There was no sign of Jay and Bob, or of Brodie, but they went to the cookie stand and as they sat on a bench eating the conversation finally rose above pop culture debate.

"So where are you from anyway?" Randal asked. "I mean, we know you're new, but where did you come from exactly?"

"Manhattan," she laughed, "I never realized that a mere forty minutes away was this whole other world."

"Why'd you move out here anyway?" He said, confused.

"It's a long story." She sighed.

"I'm not going anywhere." He said. She smiled.

"I really liked being with you." Amy said at the train station with Bob. "Will you come visit me? Or I can come down here."

"I'll come." He smiled, kissing her. "I promise."

"Great, get my number from Lizzie!" The train pulled up. "That's mine." They kissed one more time. She got on the train and they waved to each other.

"Where the fuck is every body!" Jay shouted as he looked around the Quick Stop. Obviously Liz and Randal were at the Mall, Silent Bob was at the train station and less obviously, Dante and Caitlin were sitting under the counter "talking."

"If you're not gonna buy anything leave!" Dante shouted and Caitlin giggled.

"Fuck you!" Jay said walking out. "Jesus," he said leaning against the wall, "I'm ten minutes late and then suddenly every one abandons me." So he stood waiting.

A/N: What was Caitlin's mysterious news that made her so giggly? Why exactly did Lizzie move in with her grandparents? When will Bob find out about Amy's sordid past? Will Lizzie return Randal's feelings? Will Brodie show up again to dispense more off color wisdom? Coming soon I swear! Again, reveiw, and again I'm fairly open to suggestion (just not the kind given by Shannen Hamilton).
