"They didn't act all excited when they saw us." Molly whispered to Bill, who nodded in response.
"Eddie…" Chris groaned from behind, he sat the food down.
A While Later
"So, I told Chavo that Chewy was the one who put the tobacco sauce on his borracho burrito and Chavito chased Chewy around while drinking a glass of ice water!" the students erupted in a round of laughter.
Chris, Al, Molly and Bill sat on the other side of the living room as Eddie continued to mystify the students with his tales of lying, cheating and stealing. After a while it was time for the kids to get to bed. Everyone thanked Eddie and headed upstairs. Eddie glanced at the other trainers, who were glaring at him.
"Wow, it's kind of caliente other there, I can feel the heat!" Eddie laughed.
"This is no time for jokes, what you've committed is a serious crime." Al said.
"Yeah." Chris chimed in.
Eddie tilted his head down.
"How could you NOT include us in on this little scheme! We've been trying to think of a way to get Benoit and Dowd together, we could have used your help man!" Al said as he patted a now smiling Eddie on the back.
"What?" Chris' mouth fell open. Here he was thinking the other trainers were pissed because Eddie lied to Vince and Chris about being hurt and all they can think about is hooking him up with Kristen.
"You guys are getting on my nerves." Chris said as he headed into the kitchen.
"Oh come on, everyone can see you like her. I saw you staring at her, vatto. Uncle Eddie's not blind."
Chris rolled his eyes.
"I'm gonna stay here for a little bit anyways. I came all the way, might as well."
"Wait," Molly turned to Eddie. "How are you going to be here without the cameras recording you? If Vince finds out you lied to him, you might get fired."
"Oh it's simple, I'll just hang out in Chris' room until the camera crew leaves."
Chris shot Eddie a look, as if he were annoyed with the idea of him occupying his room. Eddie caught this, and gave him the ultimate puppy dog eyes.
"Please Mr. Chris," Eddie sobbed. "Please don't turn me in and let me stay."
Chris tried to ignore him, but it was no use.
"Oh, alright. But stay out of my way. And if you get caught, I had NOTHING to do with you being here."
"Deal." Eddie shook his hand.
"Oh and another thing, do not, I repeat, DO NOT try to 'hook me' up with Kristen."
"Ok, ese." Eddie turned to walk away.
"Ok nothing, I want your handshake on this." Chris held out his hand.
Eddie turned back around and looked insulted.
"Oh Chris, how could you be like that?"
"What?"
"We're best friends, man. And best friends gotta hug!" Eddie grabbed Chris tightly and whispered in his ear.
"I swear to you, I will not try to hook you up with the mamacita." Chris finally hugged the other man back. Chris went back into the living room, leaving everyone in the kitchen.
"Eddie, how could you ruin our fun? Now we can't meddle." Molly pouted.
"Don't worry, nothing's changed."
"But you shook his hand and promised, you can't break that type of thing." Bill said.
Eddie chuckled a bit and pulled his hand from behind his back, revealing his fingers were crossed.
"I lied, homes!"
