Brady walked into the penthouse only to be greeted by Belle "have a good time at your sleepover?" she asked sweetly.

Brady grinned "yep, had a blast, in fact we are going out again today as soon as I get cleaned up."Ohhh Brady, can I come please?" she begged "I don't want to spend New Years Day in the house." She gave him puppy dog eyes. Brady rolled his eyes, "please Brady?" she begged.

"okay, if you call Chloe and ask her permission" he sighed. "Yipee!" she squealed already running to the phone. Brady chuckled as he ran up the stairs "Be ready in one hour Belle, or you'll stay here" he threatened. Knowing Chloe, she'd say yes and they'd end up somewhere like Dot Com or somewhere like that.

Chloe's phone rang, jerking her out of her thoughts "Hello" She spoke into the phone." You've been keeping secrets from me" Belle accused. "Hello Belle, I'm fine thanks for asking" Chloe chuckled at her best friend. "you've been seeing Brady for a while now" Belle continued not phased by her friend.

"We hung out, yeah, but that wasn't 'seeing' each other." Chloe clarified. "Maybe, but you could've told me, I am your best friend." Chloe could see Belle pouting "And Brady's little sister" Chloe stated "I thought it would be weird for you."

"Uh-huh" Belle stated clearly not impressed "You owe me, Chloe Lane" Belle said. "What price do I pay?" Chloe laughed at her. "I want to come with you and Brady today, me and Shawn." Chloe thought about that for a moment "That would be okay, I guess. What did Brady say?"

"He told me to ask you" Belle responded. "Okay, I guess you can come, it could even be fun." Chloe said. "Thank you Chloe, you've saved me from a fate worse than death." Belle spoke passionately. Chloe chuckled at that "You'd better hurry, then because if I know Brady he's gonna be wanting to leave soon."

Without saying goodbye, Belle hung the phone up and ran up to her room. "well" Brady looked out his bedroom door "I guess that means you're going with us." Belle nodded "I have to get dressed and fix my hair and call Shawn and.." Brady cut her off, "Better get beautiful in 30 minutes Tink or you're staying here."

An hour later, he was knocking on Chloe's door. She opened the door "Sorry, I am late, but you know Belle" he sighed. "You know she has to have perfect hair, perfect nails, matching shoes and purses." Chloe grinned at his chagrin "She is way too feminine" she chuckled. "Yep, she works hard at it" he agreed.

"She didn't happen to say where we're going did she?" Chloe asked. "She said Dot-Com, is that okay with you?" Chloe nodded "yeah, that's fine" she agreed. "So, can we go? Please?" he begged "I am starving." She rolled her eyes "you're always hungry Brady, where do you put all that food?"

"I burn it off, fast" he chuckled "Come on, lets go" he practically dragged her out to the jeep. "Hi Chloe" Belle greeted her best friend. "Hey Belle, where's Shawn?" she asked "Isn't he joining us?" Brady got in the car and started to drive off "Next stop Brady house" he said.

Finally all four of them were in the car and headed to Dot-Com. As they walked in the door of the teen hang-out Brady led Chloe to a table followed by Shawn and Belle. "Hail, Hail the gangs all here" she heard him mutter. Looking over she saw Phillip, Cynthia, Jan, Jason and Mimi at another table. "Why does Mimi still hang around Jan, didn't she learn her lesson already?" Chloe asked. "I don't know" Belle answered "But I guess she can hold her own". It hurt Belle that her two best friends hated each other.

Brady held Chloe's hand in one of his, while the other curved around her waist. She leaned against his shoulder, enjoying being close to him, besides it gave her comfort to know he was here.

Jan, never one to miss a chance to stir up trouble, made sure that Phillip knew Chloe was here and with Brady. Phillip looked over at them, but Chloe was so entranced in Brady's embrace that she never even noticed.

"Well, well well, it seems that Salem has a new couple" Jan noted out loud glancing at Chloe and Brady. Phillip followed her gaze "Yep, it sure does look like it to me." He agreed quietly.
