"I have an idea," Val started walking in Caitie's house. School had let out a half hour ago
and had begun the long 5 day weekend. Caitie thought Val had to work and was surpirsed
when she came walking in. Val sat down on the stool by the kitchen table.
"What?" Caitie replied while making coffiee. When it was done she handed Val some in a
mug when it was ready.
"Thanks. You want to throw every over a loop for April fools right?" Val grinned. Thinking
of her idea again, made her grin even more.
"Yea I do." Caitie was getting supisious.
"Alright, than I have an idea that will get a laugh out of everyone."
"Come on tell me already Val." Caitie started to get excited.
"If you go blond..."
"Yeah right.." Caitie started, "...and you go goth."
"Excitaly."
"WHAT." Caitie almost yelled standing up. She sat back down and took a drink of her
coffiee.
"Look, we will do it tonight, go to work tomorrow like nothing happened. You act me, and
i'll act like you. And we'll have fun."
"Why?"
"Come on you know it will get a laugh out of everybody. Please Caitie, please please." Val
started to bag. "Come on Caitie...please pretty please with..."
"Alright, why not. I'd love to see Jamie's face." Caitie started to grin.
"I'm sure you would." Val said with a smirk.
"Hey...."
But Val didn't give her no time to protest. "Why don't we invite Jamie and Tyler to go to the
mall and get the stuff. There's nothing else to do today."
"I don't want them to find out until it's done."
"We can hide it from them." Val started. She really wanted to see Tyler that day. She hasn't
seen him all day and it was only 1:00 and she was dieing already.
"Alright, than call Tyler."
"No way, you call him."Val wanted to call him...wanted to hear his voice. But couldn't call
him to ask to go to the mall with them.
"I'm not the one who is 'head over heals' for him." Caitie started.
"I am not." Val started to protest. But she knew she wouldn't get far.
"Yeah you are. Look fine i'll call Tyler if you call Jamie." Caitie gave up trying to get her to
confess.
"Fine."
Caitie got the number from Val who said the only reason why she knew it was for when she
had to call him about work one day and never forgot it. Which Caitie knew the real reason.
Caitie heard the phone ring on the other end 3 times before someone finally picked up.
"Hello?"
"Is Tyler there?"
"Yeah, who's this?"
"Caitie."
Caitie heard William shouting to Tyler telling him it was for him. And heard Tyler shouting
back, "Who is it?" And William answering him, "Some Caitie girl." and heard the phone
being tossed and Tyler mumbled something about 'why would she be calling me.' But
couldn't really understand him.
"Caitie, what is there something wrong? Is Val okay?" Tyler started getting all worried.
"What Is me calling you such a suprise?"
"Yeah..."
"Well don't worry nothings wrong with Val. We just wanted to know if you wanted to go to
the mall with us."
Really?.." Tyler started. Relaxing. "..So be truthful, what is the reason you want ME to go?"
"Well.." Caitie started trying to make up some reasonable reason, "...We need a ride, plus it
was Val's idea to call you. So you coming or not?"
"Yeah i'll be down there in a half hour or so."
"Great, not"
"Bye." Tyler said than hanging up. Than getting ready for the big adventure.
"Val..." Caitie started with a look on her face of discust. "..I am NEVER doing that again.
EVER."
"Fine, you dont have too."
"Aright, now you call Jamie." Caitie said with a smile coming back to her face.
"Fine. What's his number?"
"Oh it's on the phone. Memory One."
"Really? what about mine?"
"What?" Caitie played inasent.
"What about my number?"
"His is the only one programed one in there."
"Well that's not that big of surprise."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing." Val said as she pressed Memory and than 1. This time the waite for someone to
answer was longer. But 6 rings after Val heard someone pick up. Followed by some
screaming and shooting. Than finally someone spook. "Hello?"
"Hey Jamie, it's Val."
"VAL. Whats up?" Alex don't want us to come in early or at all today does he?"
"No he doesn't, but me and Caitie, mainly Caitie wanted to know if you wanted to go to the
mall with us."
"Why would I want to do something like that?"
Val replies, "Becasue Caitie will be there." under her breathe.
"What?"
"Nothing." Val added a bit to quickly. "Just that Caitie dosen't want to spend the whole day
with two overacherviers."
"Alright. I'll go for Caitie."
"That's what I thought."
"What" Jamie said getting annoyed, she knows things he don't. (A/N: Well we all knew that
from the begining lol sry hehe)
"Nothing, so you meet us at Caitie's in a few minutes."
"Yeah. Bye." Jamie hung up and started skipping to his room. Skipping around all his little
brothers and sisters that were running around and being, well, annoying. As Jamie would
put it. But he really loved them and Caitie could tell. But for her sake, wont dare to tell
anyone.
Val throw the phone back down, "Should we go outside and waite for Tyler?"
"NO why?"
"He's never been to your house..."
"He's a big boy. I think he can find it." Caitie interupted.
"Alright."
Val and Caitie were sitting down watching music video's waiting. 10 minutes later they
heard a KNOCK KNOCK.
"That must be Tyler." Val got all excited again.
"Don't get so excited. I'll get the door."
"Hey Caitie." Tyler said when Caitie opened the door.
"Yeah hey."
"Hey Tyler." Val came over to the door from the couch.
Val started pulling her finger. 'Why am I so nervous' she thought.
"Hey Val..."
"Alright, Jamie better get here soon. I can't take you too for much longer.... Hey stop
staring at her already..."
"What is your problem?" Tyler asked, not moving his eyes or head.
"YOU" Caitie said getting an attuitde. (A/N: Just like c/t never getting along lol)
"Hey you two are not going to start fighting today." Val said. Val was really getting sick of
it. That's all she ever heard. Them too bickering back and forth, non-stop.
"Fine, Tyler why dont you sit down?" Caitie said between her teeth. She didn't really hate
him. But she didn't like football players and overacheveries. It was bad enough Jamie had
to be kinda 'one of them'
"So you too planning something for tomorrow?" Tyler asked still looking at Val.
"No what makes you think that?" Val replied, maybe a bit to fast.
"No reason. So how long does it take Jamie to get here?" Tyler replied, now truing to look
at Caitie.
"How would I know that!!!"
"I bet you five bucks, Tyler, that when he gets here, he won't knock. Just walk in and head
straight for the kitchen." Val started.
"He'll give Caitie a kiss on the check first." Tyler offened knowing he'll be five bucks richer.
"Both of you knock it off now. Your so not funny. And he'll not."
"Why?" Val quested.
"Because. I locked the door. SHIT."
"What?" Tyler almost started to panick.
"I totally forgot. I gave him a key."
"Really?" Val started.
"Shut up right NOW." Caitie cute in not letting her say what she wanted.
"That must be him right now. I wouder who is right. Me or Val."
Jamie walks in, "Hey Caitie."
"Hey Jamie, how long have you had a key?" Tyler asked.
"A month." Than he headed for the kitchen.
"Val you were right." Tyler was shocked he was wrong.
"Caitie...you got no chips."
"Yeah there in the cabnet." Caitie yelled back to him.
"Thanks hon." He comes back in the room with a bag of chips. And kisses Caitie on the
forehead.
"Unbelieveable...." Tyler started.
"I guess neither of us won." Val finished.
"CAN WE GO NOW. RIGHT NOW!!!" Caitie yelled. Not wanted Jamie to know about Val
and Tyler's little 'bet'
Within a few minutes the group got in Tylers car. Tyler was up front, while Val was in
the passenger seat. Caitie and Jamie in the back. Sitting close to eachother. Really close, of
course neither of them minded.
"So..." Jamie started, "..You girls got any pranks ready for tomorrow?"
"NO/NO" Val and Caitie said at the exact same time. "But I guess you guys will have
hundreds of childish pranks to plan." Caitie finished.
"Hey they are not all childish."
"So, there are going to be some?"
"Of course, it's Aprils Fools." Tyler covered for Jamie.
"Jamie, can I ask you a question." Val started. Having it still on her mind.
"Yeah."
"How many times a day does Caitie call you?"
"Why?"
"Because i'm trying to figure out why she has your number on memory and not mine."
"Really?" Jamie asked shocked.
"Yeah. I mean if your just her 'back-up' best friend. Why does she. Is there something else
between the two of you or would want there to be?"
"There's nothing between us." Jamie offened.
"Yeah, man but would you want there to be? And what about when you kissed her?" Tyler
said backing up Val.
"Tyler just drive. Val mind your own bussiness. Jamie you dont have to answer tham. Oh
and look, we are here." Caitie said getting ready to get out.
