Still Day 6.
Chyna POV
"Stella!" Lexi cried.
"Alexis!" Stella cried.
The two girls stood their awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Chyna, who was sitting on the couch next to Fletcher, rolled her eyes. She stood up and walked over to the two cousins. "Just hug already."
"Oh...uh, Ok." Lexi started. She gave Stella an awkward hug. Then, the two separated and looked at Chyna.
"Just talk." Chyna suggested. She grabbed both their arms and led them over to the couch. Sghe motioned for Fletcher to move. Fletcher glared warily at her.
"I don't want to." Fletcher whined. "So tired."
Chyna gave him a pointed glare. Fletcher hurried up and sat on one of the small couches.
"Ok." Chyna said. "Just sit and talk it out. Go back five years and just talk it out."
Stella took a deep breath. "The morning of our tenth birthday."
Tina POV
"Ready." Tina started.
Angus picked up his first lollypop. He got ready to unwrap it. He was going to win it.
"Set."
Paul went through his twenty lollypops, looking for the perfect flavor. Where was that strawberry lollypop?
"Go!"
The three boys unwrapped their lollypops and began licking. Angus was the first one done with his lollypop. He had finished it in exactly thirty seconds.
Steven froze. "Is that even possible?"
Angus grinned as he finished his third lollypop.
Steven hadn't even finished a half of his first one.
Tina groaned and fell back on the couch. This was going to be a long day.
Five minutes later
"Done." Angus said. He threw his last stick away.
Paul glanced at his last thirteen lollypops. Steven threw his last fifteen away.
"That is not possible." Paul grumbled.
"I have a stomach ache." Steven added.
Angus glanced at Tina. "Hey Sugar? You have any more lollypops?"
Tina rolled her eyes. "Go get your own, Angus."
Angus grinned and went out the door. "Happy to."
Stella POV
"I can't believe I'm going to say this, but…I'm so-I'm so-" Lexi took a deep breath. "What I'm trying to say is that I'm so-"
Stella giggled. "I get it. You're trying to say that you're sorry."
The two girls hugged.
"Great." Fletcher said. "Can we go now? Chyna? Why did we have to sit through that…very…detailed story?"
Chyna wiped a tear from her eye. "First of all, I wanted to know what happened between them. Second, if we left them alone, they would have blown up the suite."
Fletcher glanced at the cousins who were making plans to visit each other.
"I've got to say, we owe this all to Chyna." Stella said. "If she hadn't gave me Lexi's number, we still would be enemies. We owe her a thank you."
Chyna smiled. "You need to thank me."
"I wasn't going to." Lexi pointed out. "I still don't like you."
A knock on the door interrupted the conversation. Fletcher opened the door to find Molly standing in the doorway. The pretty girl rushed past Fletcher and shoved a piece of paper into her best friend's hand.
"What is this?" Stella asked.
Molly grinned. "It's a poster. Read it."
Stella raised an eyebrow. "Come see Lady Gaga perform with Barney the Dinosaur…"
Molly jumped up and down with excitement.
"Molly," Stella said. "This is the poster you made for a class assignment in second grade…"
"So?" Molly asked. "Are we going to go?"
Stella rolled her eyes. "Ask Amber to go with you."
"She's too busy spying." Molly answered sadly.
"On who?" Chyna asked.
"Stella and Lexi." Molly shrugged like it was no big deal.
Chyna glanced out the window just in time to see a blond head duck. "Why is she spying?"
"She wanted to see if Lexi was really worth blowing our deal on." Molly answered.
"Sometimes I wonder why I'm even friends with you people." Stella grunted. She made her way to the front door and threw it open. Amber, who had her ear pressed against the door, fell at Stella's feet.
"I wasn't doing anything." She stuttered.
Stella frowned. "I can't believe you, Ambs."
Amber stood up and crossed her arms over her chest. "I can't believe you either. Ever since you came to France, you've been all…nice!"
"Well, it's good to be nice." Stella said.
"But it's not…you!"
"Yes it is." Stella realized. "I always was a nice person. Until I met…you."
"Are you blaming me?"
"I guess I'm not really like you." Stella said. "I'm not mean, or cruel…"
Fletcher frowned. "She's kidding right?" he whispered. "She's done nothing but torture us this whole trip."
Chyna shrugged.
"It was all influence." Stella went on. "This isn't me."
Amber rolled her eyes. "Are you done?"
Stella nodded. "I'm done. Bye Amber."
Amber turned around and left the apartment. "See you later, Sucker."
Stella turned around. "She was my first friend here."
Chyna lay a comforting hand on Stella's shoulder. "You did the right thing. You don't need to hang around mean people like that."
Lexi nodded. "That was so brave. You just said goodbye to one of your closest friends. You realized that you are really a good person."
Stella nodded. "Yeah, I did. Didn't I?"
Lexi opened the door. "I just found something we don't have in common. You're nice, and I'm mean."
Stella turned to Chyha. "Is that a bad thing?"
Chyna shrugged.
"That doesn't mean we can't be friends, Stell." Lexi told her. "I'm friends with Paisley and she wouldn't hurt a flea."
Stella raised an eyebrow.
"Anywho, I am going shopping. You coming cuz?" Stella nodded and the two girls left the suite.
Paul POV
Steven and Pual had decided that they had tobeat Angus at eating something. They had gone through Bacon eating contests, Cake eating contests, Pie eating contests, popsicle eating contests, chocolate eating contests, and cookie eating contests. So far, Angus had won everything.
Paul groaned and patted his stuffed belly. "There's nothing else. He's just so good."
Angus bowed. "Why thank you. I try my best."
Steven sat there, thinking. "You surely cant beat us at everything….Are you like a robot or something."
"I wish." Angus answered. "That would be so cool!"
Tina rolled her eyes. "Why does it matter, anyway? So what if he likes to eat?"
"They have pride issues." Angus told her.
Tina smiled. "Yeah. I've known them for years. That's pretty obvious."
Paul stood up. "Tomorrow at one. More contests."
Angus smiled. "Sure. Pleasure to beat you. I mean eat with you. Nah, I mean beat you."
And with that, he let himself out of the suite.
