A/N: So I wrote this a few days ago and just now uploaded it, but I just wanted to say...

I WENT TO SEE SEETHER AND BREAKING BENJAMIN LAST NIGHT! There was a mosh pit of doom! It was fucking awesome!

-ahem- That's it.

I don't even know how to express my appreciation for Sammy. Super Sammy of the Shire. ILikeScarvesAndGuitars. Woo. (Go read her fics!)

Disclaimer: I don't freaking own anything! Like, seriously. I don't even own my own mind. I'm not really sure who owns it... it's just kinda... there.

"Morning," Maureen muttered. I turned to face her. Her hair was tangled and frizzy, and she was rubbing sleep from her eyes. I giggled.

"You mean, afternoon." I pointed to the time on the computer. "It's 1:43. You've pretty much slept the day away." Maureen grunted something intelligible. I turned back to the computer. "There's coffee already made downstairs." I heard her feet plod down the stairs. A few minutes passed before I heard her footsteps return, accompanied by the clanking of a spoon against a mug.

"Where is everybody?" Maureen asked after she took a few sips of her coffee.

"Mark, Roger, and Collins went to Beer Zoo to get some alcohol: there's a football game on later tonight. They'll probably take a while though: we don't have and snack foods here. They'll need to stop at the grocery store. Mimi, Joanne, and Angel went shopping. They also said something about movies, so they'll probably be going to Blockbuster to look for some new movies to watch." I glanced at the time again. "They've been gone for about a half an hour."

Maureen groaned. "So everyone left without me?! What the hell am I supposed to do now?!" I shifted in my chair. It creaked.

"Well, you could go hang out with Benny." Maureen grimaced.

"Why the hell would I want to do that? He's a douche bag." Pause. "I didn't even know Benny was here." I turned to face her.

"I don't know what the fuck your problem is with Benny. He didn't do anything wrong! He decides to marry the woman he loves and you guys treat him like shit! I mean, yes, the Tent City cyber studio issue was a bit jerk-ish of him, but come on! Everybody has their bad moments!" I fumed. Maureen looked startled.

"I guess… I don't know. I'm not really sure why we treated him so badly in the first place… I mean, he was cool in the beginning…" She trailed off.

"Exactly. I feel so bad for Benny because you guys either shun him all of the time or treat him like shit! You're too hard on the poor guy!"

Maureen sighed. "I guess you're right." I grinned in triumph.

"Good. Now go have a conversation with the guy. He's really not as bad as you think." Maureen got up to leave the room but hesitated. I answered the unspoken question. "He's downstairs, listening to my iPod." She nodded and left.

After about twenty minutes of silence, I stood up from the computer and stretched my limbs. I really need to get out more.

Turning to leave the room, I saw Maureen's half-empty coffee cup sitting on the desk. I grabbed it and went downstairs to find Maureen. It's quiet: too quiet. I began to worry about the trouble that Maureen could have gotten herself into. I searched room after room, but she was nowhere to be seen. Finally, I decided to check outside. Can't hurt.

Opening the door, I saw nothing at first. I hesitantly stepped out onto the porch and looked around. I didn't see anyone, but I did hear faint laughter. Following the sound, I headed around to the back of the house. As soon as I rounded the corner, however, water decided to attack me. I closed my eyes and shielded my face from the spray.

I heard more giggling, and the water stopped. Blinking, I hesitantly lifted my head and looked around. Maureen was doubled-over in laughter, her face turning a deep shade of red. A bucket partially filled with water sat on the ground beside her. Benny stood, holding a hose and looking sheepish while trying not to laugh. Both were soaked to the skin.

"What the hell?!" I yelled. I grabbed my shirt and attempted to squeeze the water out of it. I failed. Miserably.

"W—we were h—having a—water fight!" Maureen managed to say between bouts of laughter. I scowled and gave up on getting the water out of my shirt.

"Sorry," Benny apologized. "I didn't hear you coming." I sighed.

"It's okay, Benny. It's nice to see you two finally getting along." I sent a pointed look to Maureen. She laughed.

"Yeah. It's not good news for you, though!" My face scrunched up in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

I saw Maureen and Benny glance at each other. It seemed as if they were communicating, somehow. Uh oh. This doesn't seem good.

"Well… now that we're getting along… we've decided…" Maureen apparently wanted to be really cryptic, because I had no idea what they'd decided. It was starting to piss me off.

"Decided what?!"

They glanced at each other again before grinning. "Tag team!" they both shouted as I was once again assaulted by the spray of water. Maureen picked up her bucked and threw what remained of the liquid at me.

Damn it! I just got dressed! Now I'm going to have to change!

Gah. No good deed goes unpunished.

R&R please?

Gah! I still can't believe I went to see Seether! Ok. I'm done fangirl-ing now.
