I wrote this for Ajay and Aiden's Awesome Adventures by Kennedy's Friday Night Delight.
Aiden and Ajay walked into Alex's house laden with shopping bags from their trip to the mall. The girls stopped in their tracks seeing the destruction before them. Chris and Alex had been at the house all day with no adult supervision and it showed. The entire living room was a complete wreck. There was trash and dirt everywhere. Dust had gotten on every surface; the glass table was covered in smudges and fingerprints. The OCD in Aiden was on high alert.
"What happened?" She asked, her whiskey colored eyes intense.
"When?" Alex asked not taking his eyes off the TV.
"In this room dip shit." Ajay said slapping him on the back of the head.
He glared at her, "What are you talking about, and are you ragging or something bitch? If so take your ass on home."
Chris pulled Ajay into his lap before she could start a fight with Alex.
He pressed a kiss to her lips, "I missed you."
She was still glaring at Alex but kissed him again, "Thanks for the distraction, but your friend over there is still a big fucking dick."
Alex scoffed and grabbed his package, "HAS a big fucking dick you mean."
He stretched out as Aiden came over to the table to pick up the pizza box and several dishes that had accumulated since that morning.
Alex spanked her butt, "Hey sexy, what's for dinner? Oh, oh, and will you grab me a beer too?"
"Lasagna." she said as she went into the kitchen.
She reappeared a few seconds later with a beer for each of them and then went to start dinner.
Ajay shook her head, "Cookie has the patience of a saint."
"What are you talking about?" Alex growled.
Ajay opened her mouth to speak but shut it when she saw Aiden come back in the room with cleaning supplies. She dusted, wiped down and sanitized every surface, then vacuumed quickly. Alex turned the volume up on the TV to hear over the vacuum, making no other movement to help her at all. When everything was back to Aiden's liking she went back to finish dinner.
"I don't know how she puts up with you." Ajay muttered.
Alex rolled his eyes, "I'm adorable and absolutely fantastic in bed. You have no idea how enriched your life would be if you would have gotten with me when you had the chance."
"You're so full of shit." Ajay shot back.
"I don't think I've ever seen Aiden in a bad mood. I've never seen her anything more than a little frustrated." Chris noticed.
"I mean any other person would have come in and freaked out, and she only glared, even when you were being an ass." Ajay pointed out.
Alex threw his hands in the air, "I wasn't being an ass. She likes taking care of me, it makes her feel appreciated or some shit."
"Chauvinistic much Lex?" Ajay retorted.
"I've tried helping her but all I do is get in the way. She told me not to worry about it anymore." He defended.
Alex's face lit up, "Wonder what it would take to get her to blow up?"
Ajay's suddenly lit up too, "She would have to be seriously provoked."
"Like really, seriously, severely provoked." Chris smiled, before his face fell completely, "No…don't do it."
Alex and Ajay both had identical devilish grins on their faces.
Chris shook his head, "No way. You're not pranking her."
"Come on, don't you want to know what it would take to get her really angry, other than Alex cheating on her?" Ajay pouted.
"Don't fucking bring that up." Alex recoiled.
She ignored him, "Just one time, Chris, come on. Wouldn't it be funny to see her mad?"
He shrugged, "I don't know. I guess so."
Alex chuckled, "She doesn't stay mad for long. You know you gotta say yes so you can make sure we don't go overboard."
Chris sighed deeply, "Alright, let's do it."
Several days later when the trio had put together the most devious game plan they could come up with, and that Chris would allow, they put it into action the morning they were supposed to leave to go to Orlando.
Aiden woke up early and got ready letting Alex sleep in for a little while like usual. She went downstairs to make a cup of coffee, only to discover they were out of it. She bit her lip and frowned, wondering how she had forgotten that. She shrugged and grabbed a cup of apple juice and a banana. She sat at the counter browsing through the messages on her phone as Alex came trudging downstairs.
"No coffee?" He questioned eyeing her glass.
"We were out. I must have forgotten." She dismissed.
He hid his smirk, that was only the beginning of her bad day.
They met up with Chris and Ajay who purposely ran extremely late because they knew how big of pet peeve tardiness was of Aiden's. She only made a mildly snide comment as they just barely made their flight.
"Ma'am your seat is back here." The flight attendant smiled.
Aiden looked at her ticket, "Umm, no. I always fly first class. I booked all of these tickets together."
"I'm not sure what happened ma'am but I'll escort you to your seat now." she smiled.
Aiden rolled her eyes, "Fine."
"I'm sorry babe, do you want me to switch with you?" Alex offered.
"No. I'll see you when we land." she said following the flight attendant.
Alex, Ajay and Chris took their seats and buckled in.
"She was barely even a little bit irritated." Alex said.
Ajay grinned, "Don't worry; this plan is totally going to work."
They met up with Aiden after they landed, she didn't seem to be mad at all anymore. That was until she discovered her luggage had gotten lost.
"We'll send it to your address as soon as it arrives." the attendant assured.
Aiden took a deep breath, fighting the frustration that had been mounting.
"Thank you. Make sure they get there as soon as possible." she said tightly.
"That flight really couldn't' have gone any worse huh?" Ajay sympathized.
She had been the one to move Aiden's luggage to their rental.
Aiden scoffed, "It happens."
"This is going to be harder than I thought." Chris whispered to Alex who nodded.
They got to Chris and Ajay's house and rested until it was time to go to the Impact Zone. Chris and Alex staged a mock fight so they would be able to knock over a plant right onto Aiden who was sitting on the couch. She stood up quickly and let out a squeal. She was covered in soil and water.
"Sorry." they both sang.
"What am I going to wear tonight?" She whined.
"You can borrow something of mine. I borrow your clothes all the time." Ajay offered, taking her hand and pulling her upstairs.
Aiden disrobed and piled her clothes into a corner in the bathroom.
She looked at the outfit Ajay had picked out, "I'm not wearing that."
"Why?" Ajay asked faking innocence perfectly.
"One…it's a track suit. Two...I'm not Canadian." she pointed out.
"We would adopt you." she laughed.
Aiden crossed her arms, "It's still a track suit."
"How about this?" Ajay suggested putting a pair of jeans and a hoodie on the bed.
"Try it on." she encouraged.
Aiden pulled the hoodie on and grimaced. She pulled the jeans on without undoing them. They were at least three sizes too big on her.
"I've got a belt." Ajay grinned; she could see Aiden growing increasingly frustrated.
"For the INSEAM Ashton?" she questioned haughtily, "I look ridiculous."
Ajay was biting her cheek to stifle her giggles; she only called her 'Ashton' when she was losing her cool.
"What do you want me to do? That's all I have down here."
Aiden sighed, "Let me see what I can figure out."
Ajay nodded and went downstairs.
Chris opened his eyes from his sprawled out position on the couch, "How pissed was she about her outfit?"
Ajay shrugged, "Still the same, though she did call me Ashton."
A few minutes later, they heard Aiden come down the stairs. Alex turned off his PSP with a smirk. She had managed to pull together a totally "Aiden Look" with only Ajay's clothes. Ajay and Chris were shocked.
"How did you…?" Ajay stammered.
Aiden held up two fingers, "Fashion…consultant."
She picked up her purse and went to the garage.
"That resourceful little hooker!" Ajay growled.
Alex laughed, "Watch it, that's my resourceful hooker wife."
They all went to the Impact tapings and instead of Aiden getting mad, Ajay was. All night she had heard nothing except for how cute and stylish Aiden was. Their plan was totally backfiring and they were getting desperate.
"We're going to have to go to Plan B." Alex sighed watching Aiden laughing with Angelina and Madison.
"You're going to cheat on her?" Ajay gaped, making Alex narrow his eyes.
"No…already?" Chris protested, "Maybe she's incapable of being angry. Maybe this is a lost cause, and we're wasting our time."
"Maybe it's time for you to nut up or shut up." Ajay glared.
She had never NOT pulled off a prank. Alex raised an eyebrow at his friend.
Chris groaned, his shoulders slumping, "Alright…"
Ajay patted him on the head, "Good boy."
They waited until the next night to put Plan B into effect. They waited until the very last minute to tell Aiden that they were taking her to her favorite upscale eatery that night for handling everything so well.
She panicked immediately.
"You can't be serious! I have NOTHING to wear."
He put his hands on her hips to pull her to him, "Can't you rummage through Ajay's shit and do that outfit thing you do?"
"NO! Nobu is totally NOT the Impact Zone, Alex!" she half shrieked.
He kissed her neck up to her ear, "I already made the reservations love."
She wanted to scream at him, why didn't he understand her predicament. You do not just NOT go to Nobu.
"Alex, I seriously can't go with nothing to wear." she said.
"Ready to go?" Chris asked coming down in a casual suit, Ajay behind him in a cute top and skirt.
Tears welled up in Aiden's eyes.
Alex kissed her nose, "I'll stay with you. Chris and Ajay you go ahead and go without us."
Aiden sniffed, "No, don't do that I'll be fine. Go ahead and go."
"I'm not going to leave you crying sweetheart." he frowned.
"I'm just upset because my stupid luggage isn't here yet." she hiccupped.
"Are you sure you're okay with me going?" he asked.
"Yes." she said, her lower lip trembling.
"Alright, I'll bring you back that dessert you like okay?" he smiled.
She nodded slowly.
When they were all in Ajay's car Alex exhaled, "That was hard. I almost broke."
"You did good." Ajay encouraged slipping her hand into Chris'.
Aiden sat on the couch pouting. She was super upset that nothing seemed to be going her way. She had none of her belongings, and she was going to miss out on her favorite restaurant on top of everything else. That was when the idea hit her. She had several friends who owned boutiques in the area. All she had to do was give them a call.
"This place is packed." Ajay muttered.
She really only liked coming with Aiden to the restaurant. She felt really out of place without her there. She snuggled into Chris' side for comfort.
"I wish Cookie was here." Ajay pouted.
Alex started laughing out of nowhere.
"What?" Chris asked.
He and Ajay were both confused. Alex could be strange at times but he never just burst out into laughter.
"Ask and you shall receive." he laughed.
They turned around to see Aiden walking to them in a strapless metallic Bohemian inspired dress. Her hair and makeup were flawless and she was beaming.
"Did your bags finally get here?" Chris asked in shock knowing they were still in his trunk.
She sat down after kissing Alex, "No, I called in a favor to one of my contacts down here."
"Of course you did." Alex grinned, "We're glad you made it."
"I'll be right back. I see someone I know." She excused herself.
"What are we going to do? She's all the way back down to zero in the frustration department." Ajay whispered.
"What annoys her the most and the fastest?" Alex brainstormed.
"She hates a lot of attention, she hates it when people are fake, she likes everything to be correct, like if anything is out of place she gets all prissy." Ajay said quickly.
They sat in silence trying to think of their next plan of attack.
"I've got it, Chris, come with me." Alex ordered getting up quickly.
"Where did they go?" Aiden asked coming back to the table a few minutes later.
"Bathroom." Ajay said trying to act nonchalant.
The waitress came to take their orders after Chris and Alex returned, and just as she left two women walked up.
"Oh my God! Aren't you Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin? Like for real?" one of them gasped.
Alex had his panty-dropping smirk plastered on his face for full effect, "Yes we are."
They both turned to each other and screamed, "We are your number one fans! We think you are soooo HOT!" They said sitting down.
"You don't mind if we join you do you? I mean this is insane that we are at the same place as the two of you." one girl said batting her eyes at Chris.
He looked at Alex and shrugged, "Why not?"
They squealed in excitement.
"I'm Casey and this is my best friend Robin." she introduced.
"Nice to meet you both." Alex grinned.
"And Ashton Cage too? This is seriously the best night ever! We really think you're a cute couple but you can't blame us for being jealous." Robin smiled.
Ajay smirked at Chris, "No, I really can't."
"And who are you, like their publicist?" Casey questioned turning to Aiden who was on her phone.
"Ummm…no." she said looking up, "I'm his wife."
They both gasped, "Is that the new Ver-Says bag! Kim Kardashian has one too!"
"Its Versace…" Aiden sighed.
"So do you know any famous designers and stuff? Because aren't you like one of those stylists?" Casey smiled tilting her head.
Robin clapped her hands, "Yeah! Like do you know Goosey(Gucci)? Or what about Lewis Vutony(Louis Vuitton), Yaves Saint LaurenT(Yves Saint Laurent)…?"
Ajay bit her lip trying to stifle her laughter. Everybody knew that it was one of Aiden's pet peeves to mispronounce names of designers. It irked her to no end.
She sat her phone down and finally looked up, "First of all those are all brand names…not people. Secondly, if you are going to pretend to know what you're talking about at least pronounce them correctly."
Casey's face lit up obliviously, "What about Channel(Chanel)?"
"Where is my wine…how about we answer that question first." she snapped.
They smiled and winked at Alex, Chris and Ajay. The waitress came back with the merlot she had ordered. She sat down the glass and uncorked the wine.
Aiden put her hand out to stop her, "This is a champagne flute, certainly you knew that right?"
"Yes ma'am, but we ran out of our regular wine glasses." she apologized.
"I'll wait then." she said, semi-pissed off that she had to do so.
She endured Robin and Casey's ignorance until their food arrived. She cringed when both women kissed Alex on the cheek.
"They were annoying." Aiden said rolling her eyes.
"Your food should be right out." the waitress smiled.
"Along with a wine glass I hope." Aiden sang sarcastically.
Alex, Ajay, and Chris all shared a smirk. Their plan was finally working. By the time they finished their food, Aiden's food still had not gotten there and she was fuming.
"This has been the worst day ever. I've never had this many things go wrong in one day." she said.
Alex kissed her gently, "I'm sorry babe."
Chris spotted the waitress coming and gave the signal to Ajay. She stuck out her foot out just as the waitress got to the table, making her trip and sending the plate of food and wine flying in the air to land directly on Aiden. She screamed as she moved before most of it got on her.
"Are you kidding me?" she shrieked.
Pasta and wine were all over the bottom hem of her dress.
That was bad…what was worse was that the entire restaurant was staring at her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she took off for the bathroom. Ajay pouted and followed her friend. She was going to be FURIOUS when she found out they had all set her up.
"Cookie, are you okay?" she asked coming into the bathroom.
Aiden was crying while trying to blot her dress, "No, I'm not okay! I wish today would just be over with already."
"We were going to walk downtown to that bar if you want to go too." Ajay smiled warmly.
Aiden shrugged sadly.
"Come here. Stop being all sad, that's not like you." she said hugging her tightly.
"I'm just so embarrassed." Aiden frowned.
"Don't be. I'll punch anybody that makes you feel that way okay?" she said.
Aiden smiled, "Okay."
Ajay took her hand and lead her outside where the boys were waiting. Alex put his arm around Aiden to kiss her before they started walking down to the bars. Aiden and Ajay were walking ahead of Alex and Chris talking and not paying attention.
"Last prank before we fess up?" Alex asked grinning wickedly.
"What do you have in mind?" Chris asked.
"See that huge puddle up ahead?" Alex smiled.
"Hell. No. You're on your own with that one." he said spying it.
"Chicken." he whispered before taking off.
He ran up to the girls and grabbed Ajay to pretend like he was going to throw her in and knocked Aiden over in the process. He collided with her with enough force to make her lose her balance and tumble into the knee high, murky water.
She sat there dazed for several moments before she finally had enough. Her patience was completely gone and words could not describe how incredibly furious she was at that moment. She let out a long piercing, frustrated scream that would have made Daffney shake in her boots. She slowly stood up her long dress soaking wet and dripping.
"We have a confession to make." Chris said wincing a little when Aiden narrowed her eyes at him.
She looked totally possessed.
"We planned all of this. Your luggage isn't lost it's been in the trunk the whole time. Those girls at the restaurant were paid off to intentionally annoy you and so was the waitress. I kind of tripped her so she would spill everything on you." Ajay admitted.
"Yeah I totally hid your coffee and knocked that plant over on you on purpose and switched your plane tickets. And uh…this wasn't an accident either." Alex said, grinning sheepishly.
Aiden looked pitiful standing there. Her hands and knees were scraped and tears had started falling again. She carefully sloshed her way out of the puddle on her broken heel. She said nothing as she went to the sidewalk and hailed a taxi.
"We're sorry." Chris said, "I didn't want to do it in the first place."
"I'm sorry too Cookie, don't be too mad okay?" Ajay chimed in.
Finally a cab pulled up.
"Aiden, baby, hold on…" Alex called grabbing her arm.
She reached back and punched him as hard as she could in his face. He staggered back in shock and pain. She got into the taxi and sped off.
"OWW! Fuck, she packs a mean left hook!" Alex groaned tasting copper in his mouth and running from his nose.
"We are in so much trouble." Chris sighed.
They both looked at Ajay who was giggling, "What's so funny?"
"Cookie's like the Incredible Hulk, she decked Alex harder than I ever have." she laughed.
Alex tilted his head in agreement, "It was a pretty solid punch. Who knew deep down she had a little dynamite in her?"
Chris was the only one not laughing. He just wanted to get home and make amends with Aiden as soon as possible.
"Let's go so Chris can grovel for his other girlfriend's forgiveness." Alex joked as they started walking back to the restaurant.
"Do you want me to hit you too?" Ajay asked.
Thinking about a revenge part too...
