A girl named Julie turned the page in her romance novel in boredom. She was one of the few teenagers who had to work on a Saturday afternoon. Julie wished her life was more exciting like the characters in her book instead of boring like her job here at your average fast food restaurant.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a buzz, indicating that a new customer had pulled in through the drive. Julie didn't blame them, inside the restaurant was packed with hungry people.
"Hello. May I take your order?" Julie asked.
-Oooh, you sound cute. Can I have your number?-
-Idiot.-
-Ow! Raven hit me!-
-Shut up you guys. Don't make me come back there,- the owner of the voice chuckled. -Sorry about that. Um, let me get six large sodas--
-I want a diet soda.-
-Ditto for me.-
-Right, make that two diet sodas and four cokes.-
-Can we get cherry pie too?-
-I love cherry pie.-
-Would you guys shut up and let me order the damn food!-
-Oh move over and let me handle this. Excuse me, are you still there?-
"Yes." Julie answered uncomfortably. She hated working the drive through, you always encountered the weirdest customers at the drive through.
-Alright, I want two large diet sodas and four large cokes. Let me get two baked potatoes, one salad, three cherry pies, three double cheese burgers, one chicken sandwich and four chicken nuggets.
-Oh, and a chocolate frosty!-
-And don't forget the onion rings.-
-Right, let me also have two chocolate frosties and five onion rings. Also, I would like six large fries and three mozzarella sticks.
"Is that all miss?" Julie asked.
-I think so. Guys?-
-That sounds good to me.-
-Yeah, way to go, Karen.-
"Pull up to the next window and you're food will be waiting for pick up," Julie said. "That will be... 75.80."
-What! No fair. One of you guys should pitch in. Why do I have to pay for all of the food?-
-Because we love you and Bruce gives you more allowance than the rest of us put together.-
Julie began to wonder what type of people would pull up to the window. From what she could tell there was six people, three boys and three girls. Julie gathered everything up into six bags and stepped up to the window. What she saw both shocked and amused her.
There was six people all right, three boys and three girls just like she assumed there would be. She wasn't shocked to see six teenagers looking back at her. She was shocked to see six teenagers on there bikes looking back at her.
"Uh... you are aware this is a drive through right?" Julie asked as she accepted money from a boy with black hair and black sunglasses. For a guy on bike he was cute.
"Yeah, we are," he said. "Why?"
"Well, nothing, it's just... Normally people use cars for the drive through, not bikes."
"We'll keep that in mind for next time we visit," said a girl with long red hair as she took the sodas and placed it in the basket attached to her bike. "Thank you very much for your service."
"You're welcome." Julie said as the group of six began to peddle away. One with blonde hair stopped at the window and winked at her.
"About that number... OW!"
He was dragged away by his ear by a girl with purple eyes. "Idiot."
Julie blinked... that sure was interesting. She sighed. "I need a new job."
Down the street Gar and Raven had finally caught up with Kori, Dick, Vic and Karen.
"That was so embarrassing," Karen muttered as she rode her yellow bike. "Who goes to a drive through on their bikes?"
"Apparently we do." Raven said dryly as she rode her black bike.
"Hey, there's no need to complain," said Gar. He was riding a green bike. "It's not like this is the first time we've done it."
"Well I'm tired of it already," said Vic as he rode his blue bike. "One of us really needs to get a car."
"A car would be most helpful." Kori said quietly. She had purple bike that had a basket on the front.
"As soon as Bruce says it's okay I'm going to get some real wheels," Dick said with a smile as he took the lead in front of the others on his red bike. "I'll have me a motorcycle, just you all wait and see."
"And I'll have the coolest car you've ever seen." Vic said proudly as he rode along side Dick.
"And I'm gonna get a moped that has turbo speed," said Gar as he rode on the other side of Dick. "The chicks will dig me."
From the back the girl's all sighed. "Boys..."
"Hey," Gar paused and looked across the street. "Isn't that Alain?"
"Where?!" Raven and Kori said together, heart's springing to their eyes as they stopped their bikes.
They watched as Alain opened the door to his house and allowed a girl in. She was about his height, only a little bit shorter. She had short black hair that fell into her face and got in the way of her blue eyes. She walked inside Alain's house, him following behind her. The door closed silently behind them.
"Hmm... I ain't never seen her before."
"Me neither. I wonder who she is."
"Hey, the food is gettin' cold. Let's go guys."
Raven and Kori waited briefly, their eyes still on the door to Alain's house before they followed the others.

"So who do you think that girl was?" Kori asked. It was Sunday and she was still curious about the girl she saw with Alain yesterday when they left the drive through.
"I haven't the slightest clue," said Gar as he sipped up his soda. Today Vic and Karen had decided to go out on a date, leaving Gar, Raven, Kori and Dick to hang out with each other at the mall. They were all currently sitting in the food court. "But she sure was cute."
"Super cute." Dick pitched in.
"I bet you that she's his girlfriend."
"What?!" Kori and Raven hissed, glaring at both Gar and Dick.
"Alain can't have a girlfriend," said Raven as she tried to control the jealous feeling inside her. "He just can't."
Dick and Gar knew what was best for them and so they kept their mouths shut. A wise decision on their part. They both knew how scary Kori and Raven could be when they were really angry.
"Hey, the movie is gonna start in a little bit," Gar said as attempted to divert the conversation to a new focus. Particularly the focus of the new movie they all came to see. "We should get going if we don't wanna miss it."
The others agreed and left the food court, heading towards the movie theater located in the mall. They were halfway through their journey when Dick spotted something. Or more like someone...
"Isn't that Alain?" Dick asked, pausing in his walk and pointing.
Gar stopped along with him. "Yeah, I think it is."
"Where?!" Raven and Kori asked at the same time, hearts in their eyes, as they shoved Dick and Gar out of the way, causing them to fall to the ground.
Kori gasped in horror. "He's with that girl again."
Alain with the girl they saw him with yesterday. There arms were linked as they walked into a wedding store.
"Why are they going into a wedding store?" Kori asked in concern. Concern that her crush really was involved with that girl.
"Maybe we should go and find out." Raven suggested dryly, acting as if she didn't care when really she did.
"Oh no, you two are coming with us to the movie theater," Dick said sternly. "Just like we planned."
"Yeah, besides," began Gar. "It's none of our business anyways."
"Right, so come on girls," Dick said as he directed them to the movie theater. "Times a wasting."

It was Monday, which meant school for the students of Jump City High School. Fortunately it was a half day so the students were able to go home early today.
Kori had just finished gathering all of her things out of her locker and was currently walking down the hall. She stopped at the sound of some familiar voices...
"So do you wanna hang out after school," Wally asked Alain. "Roy is gonna hang out with Jade, again, and Jenn thought it might be cool if the three of us could watch a movie together."
"Sorry but I can't," Alain said. "I already have plans."
"Oh really?" Wally questioned curiously.
"Yeah, I have a wedding date with the most important girl in my life."
Kori gasped and quickly ran from the spot where she had been eavesdropping. She ran all the way to Raven's locker, glad to see that her friend hadn't left yet.
"Raven, I have something very important to tell you!" Kori cried out, her emotions going into a frenzy over what she just heard.
"Uh... okay," Raven said slowly with a raised brow. "What is it?"
"I over heard Alain saying he has a wedding date." Kori whispered.
Raven's eyes went wide. "A wedding date? But what could Alain possibly have to do... You don't think it involves that girl we saw him with yesterday do you? They did walk into that wedding shop in the mall."
"Perhaps Alain and this girl are to be married," Kori said in a shrilly voice. "This is horrible. Now he and I won't ever be together."
"Yeah... wait, what? What do you mean you won't be able to get with Alain," Raven asked angrily, poking a finger at Kori. "I saw him first. He's mine."
"What do you mean you saw him first? I should be able to date him."
"You have Dick."
"Dick's a friend."
"Right... whatever helps you sleep at night."
"Oh this is crazy. We're arguing over a boy when we're supposed to be friends."
"You're right," Raven said softly, feelings ashamed of herself. "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too." Kori opened her arms wide for a hung but Raven quickly stepped back.
"Let's save the hugs for later, after we sort out this while mess with Alain," Raven smirked darkly. "Kori, you and I are going to crash that wedding."
"B-but... we don't even know where it is."
It was at that point in time that Wally passed by, whistling happily to himself. "Hey, Kori. Hey, Raven."
Both Kori and Raven smirked. "Hi, Wally."
"Do you mind if we have a word with you?"
Wally didn't know the trouble which laid in stored for him.
TT
"I feel bad about what we did to Wally." Kori confessed as she walked side by side next to Raven.
"Desperate times called for desperate measures," Raven said absently. "I'm sure he'll get over it." Raven paused and looked around. "We're on the right street but where's the house?"
"Over there." Kori said as she pointed at a house that had numerous cars parked in front of it with people coming and going. The people were all dressed up in fancy gowns and suits with gift wrapped presents in their hands.
"Alright, come on, let's go." Raven said as she grabbed Kori's hand and whisked her across the street. Raven pulled her into the bushes lining the fence of the house. They had made it to the backyard with out being noticed.
Kori and Raven couldn't help but stare at all the commotion taking place in the large backyard. Tables with food were set up, white folding chairs were being put into rows and a minister was shaking hands with the guest.
"It appears to be a backyard wedding in preparation," Kori said with a sigh. "I hope that I will have a backyard wedding when I'm older."
"Kori, look," Raven said as she pointed at a girl dressed in a light blue gown. "It's that girl Alain was with."
"I see her, but where is Alain?"
"I'm not sure. But I bet she knows. Come on, Kori. We're going to ask her a few questions," Raven said. "Stay low and follow my lead."
"Uh... Raven..." Kori began nervously.
"What is it, Kori?" Raven asked, turning her head towards Kori. Kori gulped and pointed above at the branches of a tree. Raven followed her gaze and saw three, little, wicked looking buys with water guns in their hands and smirks on their faces.
Raven cursed her luck. "Aw crap."
The boys in the middle had on a blue shirt and short black hair. He pointed at Raven and Kori. "Fire!"
The three boys made a battle cry and fired their water guns at Kori and Raven. Kori and Raven fled from the bushes and accidently bumped into someone holding a bowl of punch. The bowl of punch spilled on Kori, Raven and the person holding it.
"What's going on here?" demanded a voice.
The kids with water guns instantly dropped them.
"You kids go wash up now," said the voice, which belonged to a teenage girl dressed in a light blue gown. The kids instantly ran off and the girl turned her attention towards the three people on the ground, one she knew all too well. "Alain, are you okay?!" the girl kneeled down before him, careful as to not ruin her dress, and helped him up. She narrowed her eyes at Kori and Raven. "Who the hell are you two?"
"Funny, that's just about the same question we were going to ask you." Raven said coldly as she crossed her arms.
Alain blinked his eyes open and was shocked to see Kori and Raven standing before him. "Kori? Raven? What are you two doing here?"
Kori chuckled nervously. "That's a funny story... You see, Raven and I--"
"Came here to get some answers," Raven said coldly, interrupting Kori. "It would have been nice if you told us you had a girlfriend Alain."
"G-girlfriend," Alain spluttered, his eyes going wide. "I don't have a girlfriend."
"There is no need to lie, Alain," said Kori. "We know this girl is your girlfriend."
"Whoa, hold the phone," the girl said as she looked at Kori and Raven. "You two think that I'm Alain's girlfriend?"
Both Kori and Raven nodded.
The girl bursted into a fit of laughter. She was laughing so hard that she clutched her side. "Alain, who are these girls?"
"Uh, the one with red hair is Kori. And the one with black hair is Raven," Alain said. "They're friends from school."
"Well tell friends that next time they should hire a detective," the girl said as she walked away laughing. "Me, Alain's girlfriend. I must be on one of those hidden camera shows cause that is funny."
Raven rose a brow at the retreating girl's form and turned to Alain. "I don't get it, what's so funny?"
Alain sighed ."The girl you just met, her name is Tula. And she's not my girlfriend, she's my cousin."
"Cousin?" Kori and Raven said in union, both rather shocked and relieved at the fact.
"Why did you two think she was my girlfriend?"
Kori and Raven went silent, their cheeks turning red in embarrassment.
"We saw you and her together twice..."
"And I over heard you saying that today you had a wedding date with the most important girl in your life."
"Today is my mom's wedding. She's getting remarried to my father. Tula and her family has been staying at my place for the time being, until the wedding is over."
"But the wedding store--"
"Tula wanted to get my parents a present. She doesn't know her way around Jump City so I had to take her to the mall even though I didn't want to."
"Oh..."
"Alain, we are so sorry."
"We never meant to cause any harm, we were just curious."
"Please forgive us."
"I forgive you both but... Why did you two go through all this trouble just to find out if I had a girlfriend or not?"
Kori and Raven shifted in their spots, both feeling rather uncomfortable by the question. Raven gave Kori a nudge in the ribs, silently persuading her to answer the question.
"Alain, Raven and I both... like you," Kori said, her eyes looking down at the ground. "Like, like you, as in more than just friends."
"Oh..." Alain pulled at the collar of his stained shirt.
"Alain, this may be unfair but... Kori and I need an answer," Raven said. "Which one of us would you like to date?"
"Girls...," Alain began and he took a step closer. "I like you both... but I'm not ready for a girlfriend."
"Not even friends with benefits?" Raven asked, only to be nudged in the ribs by Kori.
Alain chuckled and placed a hand on both Kori and Raven's shoulders. "I like you both, really I do, but I value our friendship to much for it to change. I hope you both understand."
Raven and Kori glanced at each other before nodding their heads. "We understand."
"Good. I'll see you two tomorrow at school," Alain said. "I gotta go change for the wedding."
"Bye, Alain."
Raven and Kori showed themselves out and both sighed as soon as they reached the side walk.
"So, only friends." Kori said sadly.
"Yup." Raven said dryly.
"You know, maybe this is for the better. I mean, there are other guys out there."
"Kori, Raven! Wait up," Alain called as he reached the side walk. His shirt was unbuttoned, exposing his toned chest. "Kori, you left your purse back there."
Kori quietly grabbed her purse, her eyes glued on Alain's chest.
Alain smiled. "I gotta go. See ya'."
And just like that he was gone.
"Other guys huh," Raven asked. "But none quiet like him."
Kori sighed.
Raven linked arms with Kori and pulled her along until they were walking together at the same pace. "Come on, let's go mourn our loss over some ice cream."
