Back at the Carlin House

Paula: Ashley! (Yelling into the living roon) Can I talk to you for a second?

Ashley: Sure Mrs. C. (Walking into the kitchen) Whats up?

Paula: Um, its about you and Spencer.

Ashley: Uh huh, what about us?

Paula: Well Spencer told me that you two were on some sort of break and that that Katie girl was your new girlfriend.

Ashley: What? She told you that?

Paula: Yes. Thats the real reason she left. I mean she said she had homework but I know that she was lying.

Ashley: Mrs. C, Katie is not my girlfriend we're just friends, I promise you. Spencer is just really paranoid about me and her for some reason but I keep telling her that she has nothing to worry about but she wont listen.

Paula: So you two aren't on a break?

Ashley: Well, yeah and no.

Paula: Ashley... You either are or you're not.

Ashley: Well Spencer can see other people if she wants but I won't.

Paula: Why would she... I don't understand.

Ashley: Mrs. C, I just think that if Spencer experienced a little more then she would realize that me and her are meant to be together and she would be completely happy with me.

Paula; Ashley thats crazy but if you're sure that its going to work then I support it.

Ashley: Thanks Mrs. C. And seriously tell Spencer that Katie is NOT my girlfriend. She's just a friend. Okay.

Paula: Will do.

Ashley: Thanks.

Paula: Could you go tell the boys and your friend that lunch will be ready in about 20 minutes, I'm just waiting for Arthur to get back.

Ashley: Okay. Ashley went back in the living room.

Paula: (Thoughts: I hope Ashley knows what she is getting herself into.)

At the Restaurant

Spencer: Wow this is delicious.

Kristen: Mines is also. What did you get?

Spencer: The Penne Pasta.

Kristen: Oh yeah thats right, you were a copycat and got what I got.

Spencer: Shut up. We just happen to like the same things.

Kristen: Really?

Spencer: (Avoiding the question and eye contact with her) So... what are we doing after this?

Kristen: I don't know. What do you want to do?

Spencer: Hmmm... Let me think... We could always go back to your place.

Kristen: Wow Spencer you move fast. (Smiling)

Spencer: And you have a dirty mind. I mean to watch a movie or something.

Kristen: Sure thats what you meant. I mean yeah we could but I don't really know what time Katie is going to get home.

Spencer: You can't have friends over?

Kristen: Yeah sure, I can have FRIENDS over. (Smiling)

Spencer: (Smiling) Are you hitting on me?

Kristen: (Smiling) I haven't touched you.

Spencer: Are you about ready to go?

Kristen: Yeah.

Spencer: Come on. They paid for their food and left. Kristen drove Spencer back to the campus library to pick up her car.

Kristen: So this was really fun, we should do it again sometime.

Spencer: Ofcourse. Next time, I choose the place though. Deal?

Kristen: Deal. Spencer got in her car and drove home.

Spencer: (walking into the house) Ash you here? Ash! I guess not. (Thoughts: This is so genious, I'm going to use Kristen, Katie's girlfriend to make Ashley jealous so she can focus on me. This is so brilliant)
