Deb ended up finding Ashley and I on the couch in the morning. We were once again in our underwear, but I don't think she thought we had sex. She would probably make fun of me for waking up in the situation twice.

"So Spencer if you just want to wear your knickers all day, I would be okay with it." Deb quipped. I blushed and Ashley blushed.

"So when did you get home?" I asked nervously.

"It was around 8:00." Deb replied nonchalantly.

"You totally had sex last night with…" Ashley deduced. "Whose house did you stay over at again?"

"Mischa Barton." Deb answered. Of course I knew this.

"The girl that was part of the two greatest girl couples ever." Ashley stated.

"What about Willow and Tara?" Deb challenged.

"Yeah I don't really like vampires." Ashley responded. "Especially after playing a redshirt on The Vampire Diaries."

"What's a redshirt?" I asked.

"It's a character that is solely there for getting killed off." Ashley explained. "The term originated from Star Trek, but in my case, it was more splattered over my shirt."

I tried to think of Ashley covered in blood. It was definitely a weird look and definitely shouldn't be hot because she was supposed to be dead.

"I've never played a dead person before." Deb remarked.

"I really don't think that I'd want to do it again." Ashley replied. I couldn't help but notice that Deb was smiling. What was she smiling about? "What?"

"I just like how the two of you are wearing pink and blue." Deb commented. "You two would make a pretty nice couple."

"Well…" I trailed off.

"Oh my god, are you two a couple now?" Deb asked. "I have totally been waiting for this day to happen. Did you two actually have sex last night?"

"No…" I replied with a heavy blush on my face that possibly spread to my neck. "We just made out on and off for a few hours before we fell asleep."

"Did this making out include groping of the breasts?" Deb pried.

"Why do you need to know?" I asked.

"Maybe." Ashley replied before she gave my panty-clad ass a squeeze. It practically made me jump.

"Ooh, am I going to get some HBO action?" Deb asked in excitement before I threw a pillow at her. "You know I wouldn't be making so many jokes if you just got dressed."

I took Ashley to my room since we had put our clothes in the washer. By now, I was pretty much wearing clothes that I would wear on the set. Sure my clothes looked kind of slutty, but they were great for the LA weather, which was obviously always warm.

"You know and Gabby are pretty much the same now." Ashley commented.

"Except she's 16 and I'm 22." I pointed out.

"Yeah but you both dress the same and you both like girls." Ashley replied. "I think the only other different is Gabby pretty much always wears thongs and you only do some of the time."

I blushed as I started to pull on a dress. It was blue with a deep neckline and went about halfway up my thighs. I added a pair of bracelets to accessorize.

"So are you going to give me something?" Ashley asked.

I smiled and went to my closet and gave Ashley a green tank top. She pulled on it.

"You know most places require me to wear a bottom too." She responded as I rolled my eyes and gave her a pair of Daisy Dukes. She looked really nice in short shorts.

"Okay now what do you say that we go get some breakfast." I suggested.

"I thought you couldn't cook." Ashley reminded me. I didn't need to be reminded.

"Yes go as in leave the house." I stated. "I should probably ask Deb if she's eaten yet."

"Spencer I know it's the polite thing but I want this to be our first date." Ashley responded. That was kind of sudden. "That is if you want this to be a date."

"I would love to go on a date with you." I told her as I held her hand tightly.

Together we walked out into the living room and then to the door.

"Where are you two going?" Deb asked.

"We're going to get some breakfast." I answered.

"Can I come?" She questioned predictably.

"No, it's kind of a date." Ashley told her. "Where are we going anyway?"

"We are going to…IHOP." I replied as I pulled Ashley out the door and took her to my car.

Fortunately, the IHOP was not in one of the gay districts. There really isn't an anti-gay district. The closest would probably be by the Chick-Fil-A. Pretty much all of the anti-gay people eat there. That had to be the absolute worst thing that they could do for their image.

Anyway, Ashley and I found ourselves ordering various varieties of pancakes. I decided not to go for too much because of last night's sundae thing. I think having two large meals in a row is a good way to gain weight.

"So do you think that we'll have to sign any autographs here?" Ashley inquired.

"There's a sign that says 'No asking diners for autographs.'" I told her. "I guess that's means no, at least not while we're eating. That'll be good at least."

I mean I didn't have a problem signing autographs but I didn't like to do it while I was eating. I liked to eat while I was eating and do an occasional amount of talking with little to some making out.

"So how is Kyla recently?" I asked. It had been a little while since I had seen Ashley's sister with all of the work we were doing. "Are she and Aiden still dating?"

"There are, in fact." Ashley confirmed. "Even with all of the breakups, you and me have had she still has managed to be in a relationship."

"Well do you think the episode will stay the same based on the fan love for the couple?" I asked. I was referring to Mandy and Rachel, obviously, but I couldn't discuss specifics on the show in public places.

"I don't know. They may not want to change it." Ashley commented. "I'm fine with it either way. I mean yeah kissing you is great but I want to give the fans what they want."

Ashley's phone then began to ring. She went into her purse and answered it.

"Hello? Hi Joseph." She greeted. "Yes I can come in. She's with me right now. Want me to tell her? Okay. Bye."

"What was that about?" I asked after she hung up the phone.

"They've revised the script and we need to go in and get them." Ashley explained.

So it turned that the scene where Rachel and Mandy break up was being cut. Instead Mandy was going to sing a song to Rachel to try to their relationship. We were going to resume shooting tomorrow.

The scene opened with Mandy. She was in her room, getting ready for school. She was having a little trouble deciding what to wear. She wanted to talk to someone about it but unfortunately there was only one person that she could talk to.

"Daddy, can you come in here?" She asked her father.

"Are you decent?" He asked.

"Yes, but I'm not sure if my clothes are decent enough to wear to school." Mandy replied. "I need your help since you're the only one here."

"I think you should go with the clothes that you normally wear." Heath suggested. "They also don't show a lot of skin."

"I know, Daddy but I don't know if I want to be known exclusively as the country girl." Mandy explained.

"Are you still upset about people seem to think that you killed the head cheerleader?" He asked.

"I have an alibi, Daddy, and the police know that." She told him. "They never even considered me but people around the school think that I should be in jail. It hurts, Daddy."

"Well at least your friends don't think that." He reminded her.

"I still don't know what to wear." She stated.

"Like I said, just be yourself." He responded. Mandy sighed. That was probably the best that she was going to get from him. She took out her boots and put them on.

"Well when can I get that Jeep that I want?" Mandy asked.

"How about after school?" Heath suggested.

"Okay, Daddy. You can pick me up then." She told him. "And we need to go to a place that sells new Jeeps. I don't want some ten-year-old one."

Mandy then heard the doorbell ring.

"That must be Rachel." She replied in excitement. Heath wasn't exactly accepting at first but he had since warmed up to it.

Mandy rushed down the stairs and opened the door to find…Gabby. That left Mandy with a look of confusion on her face.

"Rachel has a dead battery and sent me to pick you up." Gabby explained.

"Why didn't she call me?" Mandy asked.

"She said that you always turn you phone off in the morning." Gabby replied. That was true. "I still don't know why you do that."

"Because we're not s'posed to have our phones on at school." Mandy answered.

"You have to be the only one who follows that rule." Gabby commented. "Well the good news is we will be picking up Rachel on the way. So you two can make out in my back seat if you want.

Mandy blushed as she headed out to Gabby's car.

"So I don't need a ride home." She stated. "Daddy is takin' me to get a Jeep after school."

"Finally, you've been whining about that for the past two weeks." Gabby joked.

"I have not." Mandy replied.

The two of them then went to Rachel's house. The blonde was dressed in her normal Goth clothes.

"Sorry I couldn't pick you up, Mandy." Rachel said as she got in the back. Mandy unbuckled and moved to the back as well. "I don't know how long my car is going to be out of commission."

"Well I'm gettin' a Jeep today." Mandy stated. "Maybe I could give you a ride somewhere."

"So if you two are going to make out, I need you to keep your seatbelts on." Gabby commented. Causing both the blonde and the brunette to blush. "You know you two are a bit of odd couple. It's not often that the Goth girl and the country girl are friends, much less date."

"Well we are bit of an interesting group." Rachel said. "I mean we've got also got a badass girl, a slightly butch artist and Leslie, who is completely straight."

"You know I don't really know that much about Leslie." Mandy replied.

"You'll find out more about her later." Gabby replied as she pulled into the school parking lot. Mandy and Rachel got out and Gabby went to look for a place to park.

"So Valentine's Day is this week." Mandy pointed out. "It would also be our two-month anniversary."

"You really can't have a two-month anniversary." Rachel declared. "Anniversaries only include years. Anyway, I don't really like holidays. They're a symbol of the over-commercialization of America. I mean why do we have to have a specific date for romance?"

"Well that doesn't mean that you can't be romantic on the day." Mandy argued.

"Maybe it doesn't." Rachel said. "I have to get to class. Our excursion made it so we don't have any time to socialize."

Mandy was a little upset by the fact that she walked off before the two of them got a chance to kiss. She also didn't like having to go through the metal detector that had been installed after the murder. She guessed it was okay until they caught the murderer but it was still an annoying thing to do every day. She headed to class.

Mandy walked to her first class where she saw Matt. They had about a minute before it started, so she decided to talk to him. Matt had also been investigated as a possible suspect but had been cleared.

"Hi." She greeted him. "How are you holdin' up?"

"Better since people don't think that I killed my ex-girlfriend." Matt replied.

"Now they think I did it." Mandy muttered. "You don't think that I did, do you?"

"I really don't think that you are capable of murdering anything." Matt replied. "You're not even one of those county girls that like to hunt."

"Okay I'm a little insulted but glad that you don't think I killed her." Mandy replied. "Do you have a new girlfriend yet?"

"No." Matt replied. The whole school knew about her and Rachel. It was Los Angeles, not Nashville, and people didn't really care who was gay and who wasn't. "You know the Goth girl dating the country girl seems like something that would only happen on a TV show."

"Well a student getting murdered sounds suspiciously like what happened on Friday Night Lights." Mandy remarked. "I just hope that there aint some big cover-up with it."

"I don't think there is." Matt replied as the teacher started class.

At lunch, Mandy went to join her friends and girlfriend at their table.

"Look I'm sorry that I snapped at you earlier." Rachel said to Mandy. "I just really don't like holidays. I also don't like big holiday dates like mean more than any other date."

"Well if you girls want, you can come to my work." Gabby suggested.

"I didn't know that you had a job." Mandy remarked.

"I know how to get there." Rachel replied. "That sounds great. It's less planning for me to do."

Mandy didn't actually ask where Gabby worked. She didn't feel it was necessary. She guessed that it wasn't a fast food place because they probably wouldn't have a Valentine's special.

"So are you still writing songs?" Leslie asked.

"Yeah I am." Mandy answered.

"Hey Mandy, would you mind doing me a favor?" Brooke questioned.

"What do you need?" Mandy asked.

"I need a subject to pose for me and the teacher said that I can't use Gabby." Brooke replied. "It would give us some time to hang out."

"Could I do it clothed?" Mandy asked nervously, remembering that Gabby had told her how she wore her lingerie.

"Yes of course. Can you come by after school?" Brooke requested.

"Well Daddy is takin' me to get a Jeep after school but I could probably drive there after we're done." Mandy explained.

"I didn't know that you had your license." Brooke replied.

"Well I do but Daddy has been busy recordin' and hasn't been able to the dealership." Mandy added. "He's been too busy workin' on his new album."

After school, Mandy meant to meet his father in his truck. It was pretty much the only truck in the parking lot so it wasn't that hard to spot.

"So are you sure that you're ready to drive?" Heath asked his daughter.

"Yes Daddy." She replied.

After about an hour, Mandy was handed the keys to a blue 2013 Jeep Wrangler. Gas was included with it. She then drove it to get something to eat before she headed to Brooke's house.

"So have you ever posed before?" Brooke asked her.

"No." Mandy responded as she put her bags down.

"Well you basically just need to stand still so I can capture your essence on the canvas." Brooke explained. It's really not that hard."

"And this is going to be 100% tame, isn't it?" Mandy asked the Italian-American girl.

"Yes I leave all of the sexy paintings to Gabby." Brooke told her.

"So do you two have any plans for Valentine's since she's workin'?" Mandy inquired as Brooke started to pose in a position.

"We're going to get together after she gets off." Brooke replied. "Now hold this."

On Valentine's Day, Mandy was driving Rachel to Gabby's work. Rachel was giving her directions.

"So where does Gabby work anyway?" Mandy asked her girlfriend as she followed the latest direction that had been given to her.

"You'll find out when we get there which is right now." Rachel answered. Mandy noticed that they were in front of a Hooters.

"She works at Hooters?" Mandy asked in shock.

"Yeah so come let's go in." Rachel replied.

"You don't think that this place is too you know…raunchy for a date?" Mandy asked.

"So there are half-naked girls everywhere. It's not that big of a deal." Rachel remarked. "I'm hungry and I don't want to go anywhere else."

Mandy wasn't smiling as they entered the establishment. She guessed that she shouldn't have been that surprised to see Gabby wearing a tank top and shorts, but it hadn't crossed her mind.

"Hey girls." She greeted them. "Let me take you to your table."

"Are you old enough to be doin' this?" Mandy asked.

"Technically not but it pays really well." Gabby responded. "Can I get the two of you some wings?"

"Sure." Rachel replied. This date was not going well so far.

After dinner, the two of them went to the movie theatre. It was pretty crowded.

"Why are we seeing A Good Day to Die Hard?" Mandy asked.

"Cause I don't really like romance movies. They're usually terrible." Rachel explained.

By the time they left, things definitely weren't working out.

"That had to be the worst date I've ever been on." Mandy said.

"Well I'm sorry. I told you that I don't do Valentine's Day." She reminded the brunette.

"You didn't even put any effort into it." Mandy told her. "Are you going to put any effort into this relationship at all?"

"Maybe." Rachel responded. "Why are you so mad at me?"

"If you can't see that maybe we shouldn't be together." Mandy suggested. Rachel didn't respond. She just got out of the Jeep and headed into her house.

The two of them didn't end of seeing each other for a week and Mandy realized that she had made a mistake and she needed to fix it.

She called Rachel over saying that they needed to talk. Once Rachel arrived, Mandy took out her guitar and began to play

Well it's good to hear your voice

I hope you're doing fine

And if you ever wondered

I'm lonely here tonight

Lost here in this moment

Time keeps slipping by

And I could have just one wish

I'd have you by my side

Oh I miss you

Oh I need you

And I love you more than I did before

And if today I don't see your face

Nothing's changed no one can take your place

It gets harder every day

Say you love me more than you did before

And I'm sorry it's this way

But I'm coming home I'll be coming home

And if you ask me I will stay

I will stay

Well I try to live without you

The tears fall from my eyes

I'm alone and I feel empty

God I'm torn apart inside

I look up at the stars

Hoping you're doing the same

And somehow I feel closer

And I can hear you say

Oh I miss you

Oh I need you

Chorus

Always stay

I never wanna lose you

And if I had to I would choose you

So stay

Please always stay

You're the one that I hold onto

Cause my heart would stop without you

Chorus

Chorus

Rachel was apparently really moved by this because she took Mandy and pulled her into a kiss.

I have to say, the Hooters part was a little uncomfortable.

"So I'm throwing a party on Friday." Ashley told me. "I need you to be there."

So the hiatus is over. If you couldn't tell I took a break just like Teen Dramas do. What do you think is going to happen at Ashley's party. Will they find out who killed Valery? You need to review to find out.
