Title: Chapter 7: The first year of SMK.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Wish I did, but I don't.
Summary: There are three AOL conversations. In order starting with the first one, "The First Time", "Service Above and Beyond" and "Weekend."
Timeline: The first year of SMK. 1993-1994.
Thanks: Would like to thank manda from paxtv forum for letting me use her story of how she met Lee for the same way that "Kate" and "Hank" met.
Author's note: Hey there. Sorry that it took so long to get this chapter out, but I just finished a term paper, work has been hectic, and I had this story written about three times, but my computer is so stupid that it keep on deleting my story. So here it is finally. Oh also, I know the way that Lee and Amanda met are really different, but I couldn't have them telling the truth, because they would know who each other are and it would totally destroy what I want to write. Hope you guys enjoy. Oh also, I don't think that Lee would really act like this in the first conversation, but I thought that it would be cute. Enjoy.

The night after the first case was solved, Amanda sat down at her computer. She turned her AOL on and Bruce was already on, so she binged him.
AngelSD: Hey there!
Bruce512: Hi there Angel face. (Amanda loved to be called that.)
AngelSD: I am so sorry that I have not written to you lately, but I the last few days have been very hectic.
Bruce512: That's okay, I haven't been home enough to even turn on my computer.
AngelSD: Oh.
Bruce512: You want to talk about it?
AngelSD: About what?
Bruce512: Your hectic week.
AngelSD: Oh no, no need to burden you with all my problems.
Bruce512: Kate, that's what I am here for.
AngelSD: No, that's okay.
Bruce512: Okay. Well guess what?
AngelSD: I hate him!!
Bruce512: No guess again. :)
AngelSD: I really hate him.
Bruce512: So what did Charlie do now? (Charlie was the name that she used for Dean.)
AngelSD: Who?
Bruce512: Charlie? Your boyfriend.
AngelSD: Oh, what about him?
Bruce512: Is he the one you hate?
AngelSD: Hate? Charlie? What are you talking about?
Bruce512: (Lee drew out a loud sigh.) You said, "I hate him!" who is 'him'?
AngelSD: Ohhhh! I got you. Oh, um, he is this guy at work.
Bruce512: Oh a guy huh?
AngelSD: Yeah. OH! Shush up!
Bruce512: Make me. Okay, so tell me about this guy.
AngelSD: Well, okay. Let's call him Hank.
Bruce512: Okay.
AngelSD: Well, you see, I was dropping Charlie off at the airport when this guy walks into me! I get thrown down to the ground and he never even stopped to see if I was okay or not! Anyways, I had an interview to go to today and guess what?
Bruce512: (Lee quickly read) What?
AngelSD: He works there!!
Bruce512: Where?
AngelSD: So anyways, part of the interview was an on the job experience.
Bruce512: Oh that's cool.
AngelSD: No, not when it's with Hank.
Bruce512: Why's that?
AngelSD: All he does is yell and is really mean.
Bruce512: Oh I'm sorry.
AngelSD: So after my, hopefully, boss tells me that I did a great job, Hank walked me out.
Bruce512: Ooooo.
AngelSD: Shush up. And you know what he tells me?
Bruce512: That he lovesssss you?
AngelSD: No! My gosh! I wished.
Bruce512: What?
AngelSD: I mean... Oh gosh! I HATE YOU TOO!
Bruce512: Fine be that way!
AngelSD: He tells me that they are probably not going to need me.
Bruce512: Oh he's just saying that because he LOVESSS you!
AngelSD: He does not!
Bruce512: And you love him!
AngelSD: I do not! I have a boyfriend.
Bruce512: So?
AngelSD: So, it's not right to have a boyfriend and be in love with someone else.
Bruce512: Oh so now you're admitting that you love him!
AngelSD: BRUCE!!!!
Bruce512: Fine then break up with your boyfriend.
AngelSD: No! Good night Bruce.
Bruce512: Good night Mrs. Hank!
AngelSD: Ahhh!
Bruce512: Hey can I come to the wedding?
AngelSD: Good night!
Bruce512: Is that a yes?
AngelSD: NO!
Bruce512: Oh fine! I thought I was your best friend.
AngelSD: You are.
Bruce512: Good! Kate and Hank sitting in a tree.
AngelSD: I am going!
Bruce512: K-I-S (Amanda turned her AOL on.)
On Lee's side of the computer...
Lee: How rude. She didn't even say good-bye. Wonder what her problem is. (He opened his e-mail up and started to type to Kate.)
The next morning Amanda got up early and checked her e-mail out and noticed that Bruce wrote to her. She opened it and read it.
"Angel,
Hey there. I am sorry for last night. I hope you know that I am just teasing you. Anyways, I wanted to tell you something. You wouldn't let me say anything between your "I love Hank" story. :) (Amanda just smiled.) But I wanted to tell you something. Yesterday, I went to work and there was this woman in my boss's office. I asked him what she was doing here and *she* answered, "I am interviewing for the part of your secretary." I do not work with anyone. I just don't. I tried to tell her that I didn't need anyone working with me, but did she take a hint? Noooo! So I don't know what to do. Where do you work? You were talking about last night.
Write back soon.
Bruce"
Later that night Lee got a very short letter from Kate.
"Bruce, it's okay, I knew you were just kidding. Shush up and take it like a man, you are acting just like Hank. I tried out for a photographer for my local newspaper. Sorry so short. -Kate-"
About two months went by and only a few letters were written between the two friends.
One night Lee got a letter from Kate with the subject title saying. "Help! What do I do?" Lee quickly opened it up and read it.
"Dear Bruce,
Hey there! Guess what? Charlie asked me to marry him. (Lee said to himself, "She doesn't sound too happy.") I mean it's not a bad thing, he's reliable, sturdy, always there when you need him, and the boys and mother loves him. He's so good to all of us and I decided that the boys really do need a father figure. I thought that it would be a good idea to marry him. But I can't help but think that I can do so much better then him. Am I sounding selfish? I mean I don't even know any other guy. Well, all except Hank, but he doesn't even know I am alive. I mean he's got a new girlfriend ever other week. So tell me what should I do?
Kate"
Very late that night Amanda could not fall asleep, so she got out of bed and went to see if Bruce wrote back to her yet. She got on and saw that he did write back.
"Dearest Angel,
I think you already know the answer to your own question. But I think you just wanted another opinion and I am going to give you my honest answer: DO NOT marry him. For starters you make this guy sound like a car, "reliable, sturdy, always count on". You're not buying a car Kate. Another thing, out of everything you told me, you never once said that you loved him. And no Kate you are NOT selfish. I agree with you, you deserve so much more then this guy. This guy of yours, Hank, where is his brain? He's like a scarecrow! (Amanda gasped at the coincidence.) He doesn't even know what good he has right in front of him. Kate, you just wait a little while he'll come around, if he knows what's good for him. I tell you what. If neither one of us are married by the time we are 40, how about we marry each other? That gives us 7 years. Okay? :) Now go tell Charlie no.
Talk to you soon.
Bruce"
Amanda laughed at Bruce's question and replied saying that she is holding him to it.
A few weeks later. Amanda just got out of the hospital, Lee just left her house after checking up on her, and everyone was now asleep. Amanda got on the computer and was writing an e-mail to Bruce when suddenly Bruce binged her.
Bruce512: Hey there Angel!
AngelSD: Hi there Bruce. So what's up?
Bruce512: I hate her!!
AngelSD: Who?
Bruce512: My secretary.
AngelSD: Why?
Bruce512: She's making me... she's making me...
AngelSD: She's making you do what?
Bruce512: She's making me feel weird things.
AngelSD: LOL weird things? What kind of weird things?
Bruce512: I don't know. I feel funny when I see her, I'm jealous when she talks to other men, and I don't know why!
AngelSD: (Amanda starts to laugh) Bruce, you're in love.
Bruce512: I am not!
AngelSD: Yes you are! Oh no!!
Bruce512: What?
AngelSD: Now we can't get married in 7 years. This stinks! And yes you are in love.
Bruce512: Oh stop it. No I am not!
AngelSD: I don't care what you say, but you are. I know. So when did these feelings start to occur?
Bruce512: Just recently. She was seeing this guy, who I know IS NOT a good person, but she didn't believe me. I acted very jealous. But then she got into a predicament and ended up in the hospital. I rode to the hospital in the ambulance with her and I just tried to soothe her while she was lying there unconscious. And at that minute I knew that I would never forgive myself if something happened to her.
AngelSD: So did anything happen to her?
Bruce512: No.
AngelSD: Then tell her that you love her.
Bruce512: But I can't.
AngelSD: Why not?!
Bruce512: Everyone that I love wind up dieing.
AngelSD: (Amanda thought for a minute and realized that he was right.) Bruce, you have been given a second chance with this girl, you should take advantage of it and tell her.
Bruce512: But I don't love her.
AngelSD: Then wait. These feelings that you have are going to grow and the minute you know you should tell her, so you don't lose her.
Bruce512: Thanks. You always know what to say. You're just great Kate.
AngelSD: Anytime Bruce. Anytime.
(They both got off and Amanda went to bed. She was glad that she didn't tell Bruce what just happened to her. She didn't like to lie to Bruce in the first place, but she knew she had to. He could be a bad guy. Amanda laughed at the thought and fell asleep.)
A few months later Lee and Amanda had to be husband and wife at a resort to stop a kidnapping from occurring.
After supper Phillip got on the computer and started to talk to his friends on AOL.
Amanda entered the living room: Oh, Phillip, you are on the computer.
Phillip: Yeah, I hope you don't mind. I finished all my homework and it's still a little early so I didn't think that you would mind.
Amanda: Oh no I don't mind.
Phillip: Okay, thanks mom.
Amanda tried to keep herself occupied, but it didn't last too long. She soon found herself pacing in the kitchen.
Amanda: What am I doing?! I am acting like a teenager. This is no good.
Meanwhile at Lee's apartment...
Lee: Kate where are you? I need to talk to you. Sure the one night that I want to talk to you, you can't be on.
Back at Amanda's house...
Dotty enters the kitchen and sees Amanda pacing back and forth: Amanda.
Amanda jumped about a mile high: Mother, what do you need?
Dotty: Nothing, the computer is free.
with Amanda ran out: Thank you mother.
Amanda went to the computer; she wanted to tell Bruce about her and "Hanks" weekend.
When she got on she binged him.
AngelSD: Hi Bruce!
Bruce512: Guess what?
(Amanda sighed; she wasn't going to be able to tell Bruce her story again.)
AngelSD: What?
Bruce512: To tell you the truth, I don't know.
AngelSD: What are you talking about?
Bruce512: Well, you remember that secretary that I told you about?
AngelSD: The one that you love, but won't admit to it yet? Yeah, I remember her.
Bruce512: (Lee totally ignoring her statement.) Well, my boss needed me to go to this really big meeting, and well I needed her to go me to make it look like I was married. Big businesses like to make deals with men who are settled down.
AngelSD: Okay so...
Bruce512: Well, at this resort something strange happened.
AngelSD: Like what? (Oh she was interested now. Juicy details.)
Bruce512: I don't know, that feeling I had before came back head on.
AngelSD: You acted like a married couple that was in love and you liked it.
Bruce512: Okay, so maybe just a little, but...
AngelSD: Oh there's a but! Tell me.
Bruce512: That does not excuse my behavior.
AngelSD: (Amanda gasped thinking that he did something really bad.) What did you do?
Bruce512: It's not what you think. It's just that...
AngelSD: Can you finish something without pausing?
Bruce512: Well, see when we were in public we had to flirt, touch, and look like we were in love.
AngelSD: Yeah...
Bruce512: Well, I enjoyed it too much.
AngelSD: Oh my gosh! Bruce its just love! Stop torturing yourself and admit it!
Bruce512: I don't love her, but just being with her made me feel so good.
AngelSD: Well, at least she doesn't play with your feelings.
Bruce512: What was that?
AngelSD: Nothing, I am just letting some anger out.
Bruce512: What's going on with Hank?
AngelSD: Nothing.
Bruce512: There has to be something.
AngelSD: No see there's the problem, there is nothing going on between us.
Bruce512: Tell me. Let it all out.
AngelSD: Well, on our last work assignment we were getting really close, at least I thought so. I really thought so. When I got home from work the other day, Hank comes to my house, the way he sounds when he talks, he sounds so serious like he's ready to tell me something really important, so, I think, I got this delightful look in my eye, and I think I scared him, because the next thing that he says is, "You forgot your lens cap."
(Lee laughs. Not at the situation, but out of curiosity of if she could really say that all in one breath. Then he realized that he really wanted to know.)
Bruce512: Well, he is one stupid man. Not to notice what's right in front of his nose and not tell you anything. If you ask me he sounds like a guy who is just afraid of commitment.
AngelSD: Maybe you should listen to what you say.
Bruce512: Maybe we should meet.
AngelSD: What?
Bruce512: Do you want to meet with me?
