So... I'm not dead.

So sorry about the long wait, things have been crazy and I haven't really had any ideas for this story, and (insert excuses here). But enough about that, onto the story!

I wish I would have written a better chapter after disappearing for a month, but oh well. This one is... slightly more mature than the others ;) but nothing really happens.

I don't own Fangirl (although I really wish I did)

J is for Just Us

Baz was about to groan and let his head fall onto the table when Simon caught his eye. They had a brief mental argument, and then Baz sighed defeatedly and put on a forced smile. "Of course you're not bothering us. Do we look bothered, or bored out of our skulls, or like we would rather die than be here another second, or-" Simon cleared his throat and kicked Baz under the table. Baz kicked him back and said "So, please. Continue this fascinating story about... Whatever it was you were talking about."

"I was asking you if you wanted to come with me and Aggie for the week off. We're allowed to go, and her parents have this awesome little cabin near the beach that we could stay in." Penelope said, rolling her eyes at Baz. "That sounds great!" Simon said, while Baz simultaneously said "We can't, sorry." Penelope ignored the intense eye contact and beneath-the-table-shin-kicking for a few minutes, then gave up on getting a timely answer and shook her head with a laugh. "Well, think it over. You can tell me tomorrow." There was no reaction. Irritated, she waved her hands between their eyes and said "Earth to Simon and Baz! I need an answer by tomorrow, ok?"

"Yeah." Simon replied, only half paying attention, "Great."

"What was all that about?" Simon asked once Penelope had gone "Why are you being so rude?"

"Why am I-" Baz laughed incredulously "No, snow, the real question is why are you being so... unrude?"

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you always say yes to whatever Penelope wants!"

"I do not! I only agreed 'cause it sounded like fun!"

"Oh yeah, loads of fun. Sitting around with a bunch of mosquitos while getting sunburned, eating bad food and talking to people. That's my idea of a grand time!"

"Well, what did you have in mind for our week off? Sitting around twiddling our thumbs, waiting for school to start again?" Suddenly Baz's anger was gone, and he acted almost bashful. "Actually, I thought we could spend some, um, quality time together. You know, just us."

"Oh." Simon said nonchalantly, then his eyes got big and the corners of his mouth turned up "Oh."

"Yeah." Said Baz with a grin. "What do you think of that plan?"

"Hey Simon, what's going on?" Penelope asked answering the door with a smile, which quickly shifted into a rather annoyed expression "If that was all you guys waned to do, go to your room and let me get back to my homework." With a giggle, Simon untabgled himself from Baz's arms and said. "Actually, Penny, we were coming to say we probably won't be able to make it to the cabin this time. We're... um... you know." Penelope raised her hands and waved them in front of her face "Please, say no more. I'll tell Aggie you two... had other plans. The offer still stands though, if you change your minds." Simon grinned "I don't think that's going to happen. We both really want to spend some time together, just us."

The end!

The next chapter will be up soon and will be better than this one, I promise!
