WHO SHOULD IT BE?

Chapter 1

Michael Vaughn walks up the hallway to his apartment door and is about to put the key in the lock when he hears shouting from inside. Curious as to who is inside, and what their intentions are, he slowly and carefully opens the door with one hand, while reaching for his gun in his waistband with the other.

Opening the door slowly he sees two figures standing in his living room in front of his couch. Two female figures. Very familiar female figures.

Vaughn sighs and takes his hand away from his gun as he pushes the door wide open. Both of the girls stop their arguing to turn and face the person who has just walked through the door.

"Mike! Ummm, I didn't think you were gonna be back for awhile," Sydney said as she started to walk towards him.

"Hey! Hold up! Where the hell do you think your going?" Alice said stubbornly as she pushed Sydney out of her way and also headed towards Vaughn.

"You know, one swift kick to the head and you'd be out like a light. I really should just do that. I'd be doin the world a huge favour." Sydney stated in reply.

"Oh yeh, like you'd have the guts to do anything." Alice said as she made a sound of disgust, and started to walk once again to Vaughn as Sydney grabbed her arm.

"Ya wanna find out?" Sydney asked menacingly.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on a minute." A very confused Vaughn said as he stepped inbetween the two.

"Anyone wanna tell me what this is all about?"

Alice decided to speak up. "Well, Sydney over here, thinks that you love her more then you love me. She thinks that the only reason you broke up with me was to go out with her. Actually, she seems to think that you two are already an item."

"Uhhh." was all Vaughn could muster as a reply. He stood and scratched his head in confusion as he stared back and forth between Sydney and Alice.

"But I sorta, well i.I.I am going out with Syd!" Mike blurted out at once, trying to figure all this out.

"Ha!" Sydney screamed at Alice with a joyful smile on her face. She started parading around the couch as Alice stood there looking ready to kill.

"WHAT?!" Alice yelled so loudly that Sydney decided to stop parading around the couch, at least for the moment.

"Oh, take a chill pill, it's been a long time comin," Sydney stated.

"Easy for you to say! The love of your life hasn't just told you that he broke up with you for another woman!"

"I know! Instead I am that woman! How cool is that?!" Sydney said joyfully, sounding much like a child that had just received the Christmas present they had always hoped for.

Alice stood there, frozen on the spot with her hands clenched into fists. She repeated the numbers from one through to eight through her teeth. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight," she inhaled quickly and started again. "One, two, three,"

"Four five six seven eight," Sydney said in one breath, "Yeh, yeh I can count to."

"You know what? I am so sick of you acting like you are so much better then me!" Alice screamed at Sydney.

"I only act that way because I am better then you!" Sydney retorted bravely, "The truth hurts, move on!"

"Aghhrr!" Alice exclaimed as she was trying to think of a comeback.

At that same moment someone else walked through the door. Eliza. (A/N- If you guys have read my first fic, Nobody can take me from you, you'll know who she is., but I'll write a bit about her for those of you who don't.

She walked in at quite a fast pace, her long blonde hair flowing freely around her shoulders.

"Agrhhh, you two again," Eliza said, not bothering with a greeting. "Seriously, you two are like, puppy dogs with like, a major crush." She finished with a flip of her hair.

"Oh yeah, like you can talk Barbie." This was Sydney's nickname for Eliza, and if you saw her you'd understand why. Her long blonde hair stopped just above her waist, with her black mini skirt and matching halter-neck she looked as though she was barbie's twn, But you know, not plastic. Although she dos seem to have the brain capacity of one.

Eliza is another agent working in the CIA. She also goes undercover like Sydney used to before she quit, just recently. However the CIA makes sure that she is not involved in any mission that involves stressful thinking or fast thinking.

"At least he wants to see me," Sydney continued.

"Yeh, keep dreaming." Eliza replied as she turned to face Vaughn, who was standing once again near his doorway, looking quite nervous.

"Ummm, so can I uhh.get you girls a drink or anything? Brandy? Scotch? Port? Anything with a high alcohol level? Yes? Good." Michael answered his own question as he quickly walked out of the room in search of alcohol. Any alcohol.

"Sooo." Alice started as she rolled her eyes up towards the ceiling. "do we seriously have to put up with each other now?"

"Well you two could just leave," Eliza said as she blew a bubble with her gum.

"Yeh, right. Please. I'm not that mean. As if I'd leave Mike alone here with you two." Sydney said in reply.

"Oh, and what's that supposed to mean?" Alic retorted.

"Nah she has a point," interrupted Eliza, "I wouldn't leave him here with you either."

"Yeh well I think he'd prefer that to being alone with you!" Alice said as she glared straight at Eliza.

"Okay, look. We've all got some issues to sort out here. We gotta fix them somehow and decide who should stay with Mike. Some logical, smart and mature way." Sydney concluded with a nod of her head.

"Yeh I guess." Alice said in reply.

"Yeh.how bout rock, paper, scissors?" Eliza asked, looking at both of the other girls around her expectedly.

Both Sydney and Alice stood there for a moment or two looking at her strangely before shrugging their shoulders and nodding their heads.

"Okay." They said in unison as they all sat around the coffee table and put out one hand with a clenched fist into the centre of the table.

"Ready?" Began Sydney. The other two nodded their heads in consent and Sydney continued.

"Paper, scissors, rock!"
