A/N:Sorry for the lack of updating and apologies for the short chapter, but I now know where I want to go with this and the next chapter should be up quite soon!:D Thanks to all of you who have stayed interested in this story and all of you who start reading even though there are already 13 chapters, I can't thank you guys enough, especially those who review!

Disclaimer: I own nothing at all, so no sueing please! But I did find YET another crayon on the floor today, not blue but orange, I swear my school must be full of people who still think they're like 5 years old!


"Hi, you've reached the Messer residence, I'm no….."

"Hey, don't you mean Messer/Monroe residence??" Lindsay interrupted.

"I'm sorry; you're right, Messer/Monroe residence"

Lindsay interrupted again.

"We're not in at the moment, but if you leave your name and number…"

Now it was Danny's turn to interrupt.

"We'll get back to you as soon as possible."

"Oh no! Danny, you did not just finish my sentence? We're gonna turn into one of those annoyingly smug couples that we make fun of!"

"But we are a smug couple Montana!!" Danny grinned.

"You do realise that Flack'll make fun of you about this for like ever!"

"Wait, you mean this is still recording?"

Lindsay bit her lip to keep herself from laughing and nodded.

Danny reached for the delete button just as Lindsay pulled it away and ran into the bedroom with it.

"Montana! Get back here!" Danny yelled chasing after Lindsay, who was now jumping up and down on the bed waving the machine above her head.

"Oh you are so dead!" he smiled as he wrestled her down onto the bed and began tickling her.

Lindsay spoke between laughs "Da...nny...Stop it!" she squealed. "It's still recording"

Danny shrugged "We'll change it later" he replied tossing the machine out the way.

The last thing that could be heard was the sound of Lindsay laughing before the machine cut them off.


Stella held her phone to her ear and laughed as she heard her friends' answering machine message, when she heard the beep she began talking.

"You guys seriously need to get a new message! You're clearly, ahem, busy right now, but I thought that seeing as we both have the day off, we could have a girly shopping day! Come on, Tiffany's is calling. I'm coming over in an hour to get you, oh and by the way, just in case Danny is getting excited over this prospect, I'm talking to Lindsay."


An hour later Lindsay answered the door still wearing one of Danny's shirts, an apologetic smile playing on her lips.

"Lindsay! I gave you an hours warning! Go get dressed!" Stella exclaimed pushing through the door and switching on the coffee machine.

"I'm so sorry Stella, I'll be five minutes." Replied Lindsay rushing into the bedroom just as Danny walked out, laughing at her when she tripped over the shoe that was lying in the doorway.

Lindsay shot him a warning look as she slammed the door behind her. Danny was still laughing as he walked into the kitchen, abruptly stopping when he saw Stella glaring at him.

"So I assume that you're to blame for cutting into some serious shopping time?"

"Uhm..well…the thing is…there was this huge power cut this morning…yeah…all the lights were out…"

Stella raised her eyebrow as she looked out the window, it was the clearest day she'd seen in Manhattan that year, she turned her gaze back to Danny trying not to laugh.

Lindsay came running out the bedroom and ushered Stella to the door.

"Danny, stop, just…stop. I'll be home for dinner, which I'll bring home with me. Why don't you invite Flack round so you can try and forget about the embarrassment of this moment?" Lindsay smiled as she moved towards the door.

Danny got over his speechlessness before Lindsay shut the door.

"Oh, ok then, I love you too by the way." He said sarcastically.

Lindsay rolled her eyes and walked over to Danny who was wearing a mock hurt expression on his face. She gave him a kiss and whispered something in his ear which left him smiling, and then headed back out the apartment.

Danny saw the door shut and went to make some coffee, frowning when he heard the door open again. It was Stella poking her head through the gap in the door and looking straight at him.

"Power cut? Really? Awful, just plain awful" she muttered before disappearing back into the hallway.
