Cal paced the room nervously. He was immortal now, well supposedly immortal. Cal had no way of knowing if he was or not, but that wasn't what was bothering him.

What bothered him was that this immortality came with a catch. A big catch. The sort of catch that involves your ex, the man she left you for, and his best friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fabrizo followed Jack through the busy New York streets. "What do you mean 'immortal'? he asked incredulously. "I mean that we are immortal." Fabrizo stared at him. "Ok. So, who's we?" "You, me Rose, and…….." Jack didn't finish. He was not looking forward to living with Cal for all eternity. Really, really, not.

"Oh. Where's Rose?" "Getting.." Jack left the sentence hanging. "Ah."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rose stepped into the cool lobby. It was a welcome relief after the choas of the outside world. She quickly entered the elevator and pushed the button marked 3.

She was soon on the third floor. Rose briskly walked down the hall. Stopping briefly to read room numbers. Finally, she found the one she was looking for.

Rose reached for the door handle, but it was opened before she could reach it. "Are you alone?" "Yes." "Ok." "Why all the secrecy?" Rose asked. She stepped into the room. "Because, this is odd enough without people knowing about it."

"I see." "Are we really immortal?" "I believe so." "And we all really have to live together?" "Yes." Cal groaned. "Wonderful." Rose smirked. "Come on, we have to go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The four of them boarded a train to California, and things went ok for awhile. It was decided that who would have a joba dn who wouldn't would be sorted out later, and they would spend the next few days getting used to each other. That's when the madness started……………

Cal was demanding the right to sit by the window, Fabrizo refused to budge. "Why should you get it?" he snapped. "Because, I'm……" Cal was at a loss for words. "Older than you." Fabrizo stared at him. "Older? That's why?" "Yes." "There is no way in hell I will give you this seat."

A vein in Cal's neck popped out. "I want the seat!" He lunged at Fabrizo. Fabrizo kicked him in the throat. Cal landed on the floor a few feet away from where he began.

"What are you people doing?!?!" Jack stood in the doorway of the train compartment. "He tried to make me move!" Fabrizo said. He pointed an accusing finger at Cal. Cal massaged his neck. "I want the window."

Jack sighed. He had expected this. "You can't have the window." "Why not? I want it!" "Because, it is not yours. Fabrizo has it." Jack's voice took on the tone of a kindergarten teacher. "Not everything is yours. You must learn to share." Cal's lower lip stuck out in a pout.

"It's mine!" Tears sprang into his eyes. Jack looked at him in shock. Cal crying over a window seat was a little too much. "It's just a window, you can find another." "But, I want that one!!" Cal wailed. Jack couldn't help but notice how much he resembled a small child.

"Well, maybe you can take turns." Cal's eyes brightened. "Ok." "Fabrizo?" "I guess." Jack nodded. "Good." He quickly left the room. He hoped fervently that such arguments would not happen often.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They arrived in California the next morning. Cal and Fabrizo hadn't had any more fights, but it had still been a trying trip. Rose held tightly to Jack's hand. She was nervous about living in a new state, but more so about living with the three of them.

Jack kissed her. "I love you." Rose smiled. "I love you too." Fabrizo made a gagging noise. "Don't do that after I've eaten!" Cal smacked fabrizo in the back of the head. He went flying across the station. "Cal! Do not do that again!!" Rose yelled. Cal flinched. He did not wish to meet meet the anger nehind her voice.

"Let's just leave, and find a place to live." "OOH!" Fabrizo cried. "Can I have my own room?" "Well, maybe." "Yay!!" He clapped his hands happily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rose was exasperated. "You have found some problem with every place we have tried!" Cal stared at her. "They were major problems." "Major problems? You didn't like how the tree stood in one!" Jack said. Cal was adamant. "Those things are important."

Fabrizo licked his lemon. "Do you want one?" "What?" Rose was confused. "A lemon." "Sure." They left the room. "Either pick a place, or don't live with us." "But, I wanna be immortal." Cal's lip trembled. "Then you will find a place." "Ok."
