"Hey Pete! Dawn! Over here!" yelled Abby as she stood in the crowded restaurant to wave her arms.

"Stevenson, could you sit down please? I think that waitress is about to bend over to pick up that fork and I don't want to miss that!" stated Cary with a grin. He looked over at Kristy's face turning red with anger and gave her a quick kiss on the tip of her nose. "I'm just playing. I've got the hottest girl sitting next to me!"

Kristy flushed as she self-consciously pulled up her tank top. She liked the attention she received when she dressed feminine and played up her features, however, she couldn't help feeling like she was playing dress up. Why is it that Shannon can sit there in a pair of khaki capris and a black tank top and look like she came straight off the runway?

Dawn clutched Pete's hand stumbling a little in her high heeled sandals. As they weaved through the tables, she noticed how many familiar faces frequented the restaurant. She sat down as Claudia squeezed her arm and said, "It's so good to see you! Your outfit is wild!"

Dawn grinned as she looked down at her outfit. She had an off the shoulder blue top on paired with a short patterned skirt. "Me?" she replied. "Normally that's your title Claudia! What gives?"

Just then AJ leaned across Claudia and said "Are you two girls whispering about clothes? I think you both look great!" Claudia squeezed his hand affectionately as she thought of some of her more wild outfits. Tonight she had chosen a simple red tank top with a pair of jeans. It's better this way. I can't dress all wild and crazy forever. I may as well change that now.

Stacey grinned as her friends made faces at her from their table. She came over with a tray of sodas and began to take their order. She felt herself flush when Austin gave her a quick wink. She began to laugh as Dawn tried to find a non-animal item on the menu.

"Seriously Dawn, do you think you're going to find something healthy at a place called Ribs-n-More?" stated Logan laughing. Just then his face fell as Cokie came storming over to the table.

"Logan, what are you doing here with THAT?!"

Mary Anne sighed and retorted "Cokie, we're just all here having fun as friends, no need to come over and pee on Logan to mark your territory."

Cokie felt her face get red and opened her mouth to reply when Stacey drew her away.

"Look, go man your sections; you have way more tables so you'll be making a ton of tips. If you keep harassing my table, I'm going to tell Troy. Then you know you'll be in trouble for talking back to the head waitress." Cokie whirled around and began stomping away. She hissed under her breath. "Just you wait McGill…you'll get yours."

An hour later Stacey felt like she had been running a marathon. Most of her tables had cleared out leaving just her friends. She couldn't help noticing that every time she ran into the kitchen she saw Cokie talking to Troy. He looked rather angry the last time they made eye contact and told her he needed to talk with her. She said goodbye to her friends and agreed to meet them over at Kristy's for a bonfire after clean-up. She quickly ran to the back room where Troy was waiting.

Outside in the parking lot, everyone was arguing over who would go grab food and who would go back to the house to get the fire started.

"I'd kind of like to wait for Stacey to get out." Mentioned Austin.

It was decided that Dawn & Pete would wait with Austin while the others grabbed food and started the campfire. The three of them climbed into Pete's car and began to sing along with the songs on the radio..

Inside the restaurants as the music blared loudly, Cokie danced from table to table wiping them down and stacking chairs. As she turned on the vacuum she thought, Troy was so pissed when I told him that Stacey brought her boyfriend here. His perfect head waitress is going to get fired!

Stacey twisted her Porky Pig charm on her necklace nervously. She had never seen Troy so angry as when he slammed and looked his office door. He grabbed her shoulders and sat her down hard on his desk.

"What do you think you are doing bringing a guy in here Stacey?" he asked angrily. "I have one rule, and one rule only. No boyfriends in my restaurant!"

"Troy, I-I-I thought it'd be ok, I mean he was just here as my friend, I told him that I couldn't treat him any different that any other guy." Stacey stammered her reply nervously.

"You are a dirty whore." He hissed narrowing his eyes. All of a sudden Stacey didn't see an attractive older man, she saw an ugly face twisted by hate and revenge. She felt her blood run cold as he walked towards her menacingly. "You throw yourself at me, have me serve you underage, tease me just so I'll promote you then you parade a boyfriend in front of me?"

"NO! Troy! It wasn't that at all." Stacey cried. She began trying to back up as Troy continued to advance towards her. "I'm sorry about that one night, I was drunk and you were so nice but I never meant to lead you on. It's Austin that I like. He and I are trying to work things out. I'm sorry, I never meant to tease you." She began to cry in earnest as Troy began loosening his belt. "NO! Troy! What are you doing?"

"You are a slut and a tease just like my ex-wife and just like that other blonde who used to babysit for the kids. She used to come on to me all the time until I finally took what was owed to me. Now it's your turn you slutty bitch. I'm finally taking what is owed to me." He quickly grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head. He covered her mouth with his other hand and said "You can scream all you want but I told Cokie if she vacuumed the whole restaurant, she'd be my new head waitress. She won't hear you until it's too late. So just be a good whore and take what's coming to you…"

Stacey squeezed her eyes shut and turned her head as tears rolled down her face. She bit her lip in fear as she felt his knee pry her two legs apart. God, Please help me. Please! I beg you. I'm so scared. Let someone come and save me…
