Peace.***

"so, chief Bennet's still on my case about this Montreal thing."

"hum."Fox, Miguel and Jhon huffed.

"that was nothing man, when I proposed to Kay he left me threatning voice mails."

"he still does that."Reese sighed.

"damn."Jhon hissed" you two have it real bad."

They both sadly nodded in agreement.

"seriously, but that's nothing compared to when I proposed to Charity David told me if I ever was stupid enough to pull what I pulled on her again, he'd make sure that was the last thing I'd ever do."

"damn!" all three said in dissbelief.

"my dad told you that?"

"yeah, your dad is twice as crazy as Sam."

"and then there's them."Miguel said, as they all focussed on their wives/girlfriends."I don't know how we got around to falling in love with them."

"I sometimes wonder how that happened."Fox agreed.

"they have some nasty tempers."

"ha! hurricane Lisa nasty tempers" Jhon chuckled."trust me I know, my little sister isn't always a peach."

"her cousin, isn't all that sweet most of the time either."Fox laughed.

"Jessica's the worst though, when she get's started it takes her forever to stop."

"you don't have to tell us, Charity's just like that."Miguel laughed.

"Kay too!"

They all shook their heads, as Miguel turned on the t.v and began to flip the channels."they're cute as hell though aren't they."Miguel smirked.

"amen to that."Reese agreed, as he tapped beer bottles with Fox.

"hey isn't that the raiders game."Jhon ended almost mesmorized, as where the other guys as they watched the game.The ladies stood in the next room watching the guys fixaded on the t.v screen.

"men and football, I'll never understand."Charity sighed.

In other places, Marcus glided around the Steel Pan's spaceous dance floor getting his nightclub ready for the night.

"Mark, I got a call from you know who."Toya, began as she crept up behind Marcus.

"really what did our diva say?"

"she'll be here in a few."

"alright, you go tell Jai to let them all in."he said, as he fixed the mic on the stage.

"alright, Marcus."

"thanks Toya, and tell Shauna her turn tables are waiting for her."

"alright boss." she giggled softly.

Outside, a crowd of people waiting impatiently outside.It was cold November night, and everyone was chilled to the very bone.Whitney, Chad, and Theresa await outside front and centre of the line.

"just like way back when huh?" Chad shivered out, as Theresa laughed Whitney on the other hand was busy on the phone listening to Tania and Kori's full report of how Reggie was doing.

"hey Reggie baby."she cooded.

"momma!?"he screeched out, as he clenched the phone in his tiny hands.

"you're going to be a good boy for T and Kori?"

He laughed playfully, as he got back on the phone."bye, bye!"

"bye bye baby, mommy loves you."

"love you! bye!" he finished in a goofy tone as he padded away leaving Tania and Kori with the phone.

"were going to put him to bed any minute now."Kori said as she picked up the reciever.

"good, and if anything goes wrong call me on my cell!"

"alright."Whitney when on about Reggie as Chad and Theresa watched on.

"baby..."Chad began as she got the cell phone out of her grips."baby, Reggie is going to be okay."

"I know, I just want to make sure he'll be more than okay."Whitney replied trying to get the cell away from Chad, noticing that he hurridly put it in his pockets, as he foccused on his wife." If I'm not worried about Reg, you shouldn't be."

"he's right you know, Tania and Kori are amazing babysitters."

"exactlly, and tell Whitney when's the last time we've gone clubbing before Reggie was born."

Whitney laughed softly as she thought.

"see it's been that long."Chad said."so let's just lay back and have a good time, and when we go home little Reggie will be sound asleep just like he's supposed to be."

"T and K are good."Whitney began.

"yeah."Theresa and Chad said as they smiled slyly.

"so I guess it wouldn't be that bad if we chilled for a bit!"

"that's my girl!" Theresa exclaimed as Jai popped out, the club already booming with music.

"come on in."The bouncer began as people began to file in."hold up player I wasn't talking bout you!" he continued as he stop another crowd from entering.

Now usually I don't do this,but uh...

go on head break 'em off with a little preview of the remix.

Now I'm not trying to be rude, but pretty girl I'm feeling you the

runing her hands through my fro,

bouncing on twenty fours,

while they say on the radio:

the remix to ignition comming

straight out the kitchen...

"okay I don't know about all of you, but I'm a little bit tired of sitting here watching the guys watch that stupid football game."Charity huffed, as she waddeled to the the fridge.

"I hear that."Simone laughed out."so, Charity what do you propose we do."

Charity arose from her search in the fridge, as she smiled and looked towards Kay causing her to smile aswell."why don't we play... I never." she ended.

"I never?"Jessica repeated awkwardly.

"yeah, it's that game where one person would go I never..."

"broke the law."Simone finished." and then if you did you'd take a drink from a shot glass."

"were playing the non-alchoholing version of course."

"deffinately."they all responded.

"what can we use?"Kay pondered,as Charity went back to what she was doing in the fridge.

"orange juice?"she popped out again, as she closed the refrigerator door behind her.

"that could work."Simone nodded.

"okay."Charity ended as they all trotted downstairs, heading towards Charity's studio.

"attention to all passengers of flight 298, to Toronto this is your last call the plane will heading off the runway in the next thirty-five seconds...thirty-three.The whole entire staff of Harmony airlines whishes you a happy destinations, and remember wherever you roam, make Harmony airlines your home!" the intercome screeched, as the stuartess ended.Walking vigorously down the air port hall as none other than...Beyonce, behind her was her make up artist, fashion cunsultant, background singers hell her whole God damn staff! they made sure to walk breaths away from her primping and preping her for her preformance at the Steel Pan.

"would you get off me!" she shouted, as they all came to a hault."where's the limo, Bobby?"she questioned as she darted towards her agent.

"I don't know the guy should be here by now."he began as he searched through his palm pilot."yeah, here it is ten thirty, I made the appointment it's right here."he stammered.

"give me that!" she exclaimed, as she grabed the device observing the schedual and then narowing her eyes towards Bobby, while resting her hands on her hips."the apointment..."

"yeah,"Bobby began attentively.

"was for ten thirty in the mourning!" she shouted as she shoved the pilot in Bobby's chest."I don't know why I even bother." she huffed, as she stormed away her crew marching behind her.She continued to storm before bumping into Anthony, they both stood observing eachother before Anthony spoke up.

"hey, don't I know you from somewhere?"

"child please!" Beyonce laughed, as she brushed past him.

Oww! I've got the magic stick,

I know if I could hit once I could hit twice,

I hit the baddest chicks, shorty if you

don't belive me then call me tonight

and I'll show you magic what? what?

magic! uh huh.

The song continued to blair, as people covered the dance floor.Whitney and Chad where the first ones to hit the floor, as Theresa made herself somfy at the bar.She watched the happy couples on the dance floor, and she felt a little out of place, it wasn't like she had any problmes in the dating department but she had to be honset with herself, presently her love life was as dry as the sahara desert.

"c'mon girl, why are you just sitting here!?"Chad gasped out, as he went to where Theresa was sitting Whitney not too far behind."now tell me all you came here for, was playing the wall sit."

"no."Theresa replied crisply.

"I know what this is all about, you don't have anyone to dance with.Girl! don't even trip me and Chad could be your dance parters all night long."Whitney screeched through the loud music.

"no"Theresa shook her head."you two go have some fun! I'll be alright here."

The couple paused as they looked at her quizzingly, back in the day Theresa was quite the party animal and seeing her sit down was like watching Tabitha bolt down into the club with a pair of bright read hotpants... it wasn't gonna happen.

"go!"she laughed out, as she shewed them away.Theresa wasn't in any mood, to play the third wheel she felt fine just plopping herself down on the bar stool watching all the other happy couples liven up the dance floor.Just fine.She spun her stool around, as she taped her well-manicured fingernails across the bar.

"what'll it be?"the bartender questioned.

Theresa contimplated, as she started blankly at the bartender."I'll have a cosmopolitan."

"alright, alright y'all are you having fun?" Marcus asked the crowd as he stepped up onto the stage.

The crowed roared in great response.

"that's what I like to hear! anyways sit tight, and in a few the very skilled Beyonce Knowles will be hitting the stage."he stepped of as Shauna continued to spin the vinyl."if she ever get's here!" Marcus whispered to himself.

"well look who's here." a familair voice, began as he sit beside Theresa she swung herself around to see who it was.

'no!' she screamed to herself, as if things weren't going bad enough as it is she just had to sit beside the guy she'd just embaraced herself infront of.'this can't be happening.' she convinced herself, as she gave the guy an awkward look.

"aren't you Ms independant; that girl I met in the airport three months back."

She hesitated, but she figured the night was already as bad as it could get why not make it worse."yeah."she began as she tried to smile."look I'm sorry, it's just that I live in New York and the guys up there are..."

"I compleatly get it, no problem..."

"Theresa, what's you're name?"

"...Richard, but everyone calls me Rick."

"Rick."she repeated, as the bartender handed her a cosmopolitan she casually observed the man while sipping.Tall, around twenty-three...hopefully and rugidly goodlooking.'this might not be a bad night afterall.' she thought to herself."so, Rick tell me about yourself?"

The girls splattered themselves around Charity's studio, the sound of the guys cheering and shouting downstairs could still be heard.

"so who wants to start ?" Charity asked, swiveling the orange juice in her hand.

"let me."Simone began as she smiled slyly."but first I want to put a twist in the game, istead of just drinking orange juice, you have to tell us everything."

"what do you mean?"Jessica inquired.

"well, in the original game all you had to do was drink but in this version you're gonna have to tell us...everything."

"everything?"Jessica repeated.

"down to the last syllable."

"I'm game."Charity said as she sat herself down.

"me too!"Kay agreed, as they all faced Jessica who was ify on the subject.

"it's all on you Jess."Simone started."I mean if you don't want to we could always do something else."

"no, and to prove that I want to do this I'll even start!"Jessica stated boldly."I never..."

Marcus stood impatiently in the club's hallway as Beyonce brushed past with her crew.The group stoped as Marcus stood infront of them."Beyonce, girl what a pleasure to have you at my club."

"I know." she beamed confidantly."I'll be preforming in a few miuntes."she trailed as she left with her bodyguards.

"diva's!"

"you told mom you were three were going on a field trip!"Jessica squealed as she laughed.

"we did, just not the one we were supposed to go to!" Charity ended as the girl erupted in laughter.

"alright, I never..."Kay started, as she searched the room."slept, with an ex."she waited to see who would actually drikn to that, but no one did...yet."I had a feelli---No!."she said her eyes widened, as Charity to a big gulp of her orange juice."Chris?"

"no."Charity replied.

"not Justin!."

"nope."Charity shook her head."...Miguel."

"hold up wait a minute! Charity she's talking about an ex, we already know you and Miguel get busy all the time."Simone laughed.

"you guys would've never..."Jessica giggled, as they all observed Charity.

"remember that night when we decided to take that bus to Boston, Kay."

"yeah, it was you me Fox, Mark, Miguel, Simone Jhon and Jhosh."

"well it all started when Miguel wanted to get a tattoo."

"we were so gone that night!" Simone laughed.

Charity nodded, as she laughed at the memory."we were compleatly out of it, anyway..."

---Flashback---

Two years back,the group stumbeled down the streets of Boston one hot summmer in the middle of July, all singing old disco songs while ever so often tripping or falling on the hot pavement.After passing down an array of streets, and causing a big scene they all found themselves infornt of a tatto parlor.Out of the blue Miguel and Marcus felt the great need to get a tattoo/ear piercing, which seemed like the perfect plan at the time think about it...how better to end the perfect summer road trip then to get something you'll probably never ever be able to get rid of!

"you know, Miguel I really think this is the dumbest thing you've ever done!" Charity slurred as they walked in.

"no, Charity getting with you was the dumbest thing I've ever done."

"it's amazing even waisted they can't stand eachother."Fox laughed, as he plopped himself down on a chair nearby,Kay falling onto his lap.

"hi!" they both said, as they laughed.

"I don't know man, maybe Charity's right."Jhon began as he slowly made his way to Miguel and Marcus."dudes you can take this off!"

"man we know that!"Marcus hissed, as he sat himself down.

"yeah."Miguel added, as he settled himself down in the chair while the tattoo artist made her way to them.

"hey!" she said in a bubbly tone."I'm Kandi I'll by assisting you today."she looked around and noticed the strange way everyone was, and just figured it was just her as she shook it off, and focused on Miguel and Marcus.

"Hey Kandi."Miguel and Marcus flirted, as she sented the alchohol.

"are..."she waved her small hands infront of her nose to diminish the smell."are you sure about this."

"yeah."

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"I remember that part Charity just skip that and get to the good part! "kay pryed.

"well, if you let me continue maybe I can."Charity sighed,as she regained her spot in the story."anyways that when that whole thing was all over and done with we took the bus ride back to Harmony, it was a long, long bus ride!"

"I remember that."Simone giggled.

---Flashback---

The group staggered their way out of the bus, when they arrived in Harmony.

"c'mon guys! my parents are all out on vacation we could crash there."Fox managed to fumble out, as they all began to follow him Charity and Miguel heading in the oposite direction.

"where are you two going?"Simone questioned, trying to keep her balance.

"the mansions that way!" Kay screeched, as she pointed the the Crane mantions direction.

"no,I feel like going home."Charity moaned, as she started down the street.

"me too..."Miguel followed , a few steps behind.

"okay."Fox replied, as they all disapeared into the night.Leaving Miguel and Charity to walk the streets of Harmony, alone maybe before that wouldn't of been nothing but remember they'd just broke up.Yes the love ended, and the fued began! Charity began to walk as she heard some footsteps not too far behind, she turned to them.

"great!" she hissed.

"don't flatter yourself, the road doesn't belong to you princess Charity!"

"whatever."she replied.

Miguel smiled deviously, drunk or sober he always found a certain kind of joy pissing his ex girlfriend off."Charity, you don't have to put on this act just for me."

"what!? what are you talking about now?"Charity sighed, as she stoped and faced him.

"you know, and I know that you aren't over me let's face the facts Charity we had something..."he searched for the words as he approached her"incredible."

"yeah it was fabulous, I especially love the part where you cheat on me with my own damn cousin yeah Miguel our relationship was pretty friggin amazing!"

"whatever Charity,you cant put up this front as much as you want but we both know you still want me."at this point Miguel was stood face to face with his ex, she gazed at him for awhile, before slapping him hard across the face.

"that's how much I want you!"she began to walk as she darted around."would you like to see how much a love you!?" she smirked as she got ready to give him another.

"what'd you do that for!?"Miguel exclaimed, as he rubbed his jaw.

"you know I an believe you'd try to pull something like that, but then again it only proves what an immature, over sexed bastard you really are!"

"really? you weren't having much of a problem when you were dating me."

" I was young and stupid! Miguel something people kinda grow out of except for you case!"

"fine alright, stupid immature that's all me I'd rather be that than a self righteous, goody toe shoes!"

"urgh! I don't even know how I put up with you this long."Charity shouted into the night.

"funny I was thinking the same thing."

They both paused both angered, and irratated but in a strange way kind of turned on maybe it was the heat or just all of the alchohol they took in, but that night...let's just say anything goes, and it went.

"are you, as turned on as I'am right now?"

Charity hessitated as she faught her answer"yes." she finally replied , as the two found eachother even closer and this time intensely kissing.

------------------------------

"why is this the first time I'm hearing this?"Kay asked astounded by the story.

"because I knew you wouldn't of kept it a secret, and me and Miguel kind of decided to keep up between us the mourning after."

"whoa,"Jessica said solemly."my turn!"they all laughed as Jessica's eargerness, their giggling and screeching could be herad all the way downstairs where the guys' football game was comming to an end.

"what do you think there doing up there?"Reese inquired.

"beats me!" they all shrugged.
