--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mariah stared at Nora in shock, her eyes wide, and held one petit hand over her mouth. Nora had just told her everything that had happened from when the She-Wolves got to the gang to when she talked to Kai and it had shocked the neko-jin to her bones.

"You really killed him??" Nora threw herself onto Mariah's bed, burying her face into the fluffy pillow.

"Yes! And I can't afford to go to court! I don't have the money to pay for it! And the next time I go to town to sell crops is in spring! And it's winter! I have no money to do that!" She cried, Mariah pulling her into a hug. The pink-haired girl soothingly ran her fingers through Nora's ebony hair and quietly sang a song she knew from her childhood.

"Hey, relax, it'll be alright. Everything will be alright, I promise. Shhhh." She breathed, Nora calming down. She pulled away and gave Mariah a smile.

"Thanks, I really needed that." Mariah smiled.

"No problem. You're my friend; we have to look out for each other. Especially seeing how we're surrounded by guys!! We girls need to watch each other's back, ya know?" Nora laughed, eyes shining.

"Yeah, right? I know exactly what you mean. Ya know? I never actually took the time to count just how many guys ARE here." Both girls took on a thoughtful look.

"Well, there's Max, Bryan, Tala, Kai, Tyson, Rick, Kevin, Ray, Gary, Lee, Kenny… and I think that's it." Nora nodded.

"Yeah, I think so too. So that's one… two… three… eleven guys. Damn, we're seriously out numbered here!" Mariah nodded, eyes wide.

"You're telling me! We need some more girls here!"

"No doubt about it." It fell silent as the two pretty much killed the topic, the silence awkward. It stayed silent for a few minutes, neither speaking, before Nora suddenly grinning to herself and spoke. "Cricket, cricket."

"What?"

"Buzz, buzz."

"Nora?"

"Now you got chicken fuzz!!" Nora fell back onto the bed as she laughed, Mariah getting it after a few seconds and laughing as well. When they had finally calmed themselves down enough to say anything, Mariah spoke.

"Wow Nora, that was out there!"

"Yeah, you're telling me! It's so stupid but it's so funny too!"

"Like males?"

"Exactly like males. Well, most of them anyways. The Russian's are funny but not stupid. And neither is Ray or Kenny. Can't say the same about the others though…" Both girls sweatdropped and sighed disappointedly.

"How right you are…" Sighed Mariah, shaking her head. "Kevin is immature as ever, Gary only ever thinks about food, and Tyson… well I can't even being to describe Tyson." Nora laughed.

"Agreed. Maxie is cute though, you know, like kitten-cute. He can be serious and immature too. He's just this great big mix ya know? But, he's still like a little kitten. So adorable and cuddly. It just makes you want to give him a hug and ruffle his hair." Mariah and Nora giggled.

"Yeah, I know what you mean! He's just too cute."

"Well, I better be getting to bed. You should too. We've got a lot of work to do tomorrow to catch up on today seeing as how we only managed to get around half of it done before we all had to stop." Mariah nodded and gave Nora a hug before the teen left the room, neither knowing that someone, or rather I say some people, had eavesdropped on their whole conversation.

-----------------------

"Kitten-cute? They think I'm kitten-cute? What does that mean anyways?" Said Max in disbelief, trying to figure out what the girls had said. Ray laughed.

"It means that they think you're like a kitten. Cute and adorable with a sweet, playful side but also with a serious or mean side." Max nodded.

"Ohhh, that makes sense I guess… but I'm not mean…"

"No, you're not. That's why they only mean the sweet and serious parts."

"They were mean." Muttered Tyson, pouting. Kai smirked.

"Well, they were right. I doubt anyone can even begin to describe you." He said calmly, Tyson shooting him a glare. Kai shrugged it off.

"Well, I think they should get a break. You guys know what I mean? They're completely surrounded by guys, don't you think they should get a break and be able to just hang out with each other for a couple of days or something?" Said Ray, bringing the attention to him. Slowly, the other guys nodded.

"True." Said Max, Tyson nodding. Ray spoke.

"Maybe we should send them to the lake or something? Let them go camping way out there away from us." The guys nodded and began planning the girls' camping trip.

-----------------------

Nora yawned as she shuffled out of her room and towards the kitchen, sleepily raising one hand as Mariah joined her, the girls both still tired. They made it to the kitchen quickly and Nora sleepily made two cups of coffee, handing one to Mariah before plopping down at the table, slowly sipping at the steaming liquid. The both smiled as they began to wake up completely, their senses getting sharper by the second. The blinked as a head poked into the kitchen, sleep-tousled two-toned hair sticking up everywhere. They laughed. Kai glared at them and walked into the kitchen, snatching a cup of coffee off the counter before leaning against the cool stone and drinking it calmly. Nora smiled.

"Hey sleepyhead." Kai mumbled something that made Nora blink, having not been able to hear it. "Huh? Couldn't hear ya Kai, too quiet." Kai yawned.

"I said be quiet, I'm drinking." Nora rolled her eyes.

"Yesh, grouchy much?" Kai merely shot her a quick half-glare. Nora yawned, shrugging it off. Mariah giggled and the two girls stood, having already finished their coffee, and Nora tapped Kai on the shoulder, the teen raising an eyebrow.

"Hn?"

"Move please. We need to get to the sink." Kai nodded and moved out of the way, the two girls quietly putting their cups in the sink.

"Get dressed and ride?" Asked Mariah, Nora smirking.

"You bet. I'll beat you!"

"No you won't!" The two girls took off in a mad dash, both trying to beat the other at getting dressed and brushing and saddling their horse. Kai watched with amused eyes as the two girls flew past the kitchen door and out towards the barn, Nora somehow managing to come out before Mariah on top of JJ, the horse galloping through the large double doors. Mariah came out seconds later, both girls laughing.

"That was fun, we should do it more often!" Mariah nodded, eyes shining as the two trotted away calmly, their horses happy.

"Yeah, much more often."

--------------------------

Nora and Mariah gasped, their eyes wide and jaws dropped. Kai and Ray had just told them that they were going on a little camping trip by themselves as a way to get away from all the guys that surrounded them and boy were they shocked. They stared at each other before squealing and jumping up and down, holding each other's hands as they twirled.

"Oh my god! I can't believe it! I haven't been out camping in over ten years!" Said Nora, ecstatic.

"Me neither!" Nora let go of Mariah only to jump on Kai, hugging his neck tightly.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!" Kai merely chuckled and shook his head, giving her a hug.

"No problem. Now, you might want to go get your things ready to go." Nora nodded and let go of him before turning to Mariah and dragging her off, letting go as soon as she reached her room. Nora snatched her sleeping bag out of her closet as soon as she was in her room before grabbing her large black gym bag and tossing them onto her bed. Quickly, she pulled open her dresser and pulled out an armful of Wrangler jeans and flannel shirts and sweaters before grabbing her socks, underwear, and longjohns. Folding them neatly and with expert ease, she fit it all into her bag before going and getting any other necessity she'd need for the trip. After making sure she had everything, she grabbed a pair of thick ropes and used them to tie the bag and sleeping bag together. Picking the things up, she all but ran out of her room and into the living room, Mariah right by her side. They set their bags on the floor before smiling at all the guys, even Tyson who had somehow managed to wake up and stay awake without food.

"Seems like yall got everything figured out already, when'd yall plan this?" Asked Nora, Tala smirking.

"Last night. Lets just say a little birdie told us."

"Yall were eavesdropping, weren't yall?" They all bowed their heads while Nora and Mariah laughed.

"Yes…" Nora slapped her forehead, one hand on her hip as she laughed.

"Good lord yall! I can't believe it's so funny."

"Agreed. It's kinda cute too though, eleven guys gathered around one door all with their ears pressed to it listening to girls talk." Both girls laughed.

"Yeah, agreed."
