Chapter 5

About two hours later, still in the tree house

"You're so funny, Chris." Stephanie and Stacey can't stop laughing, no shock.

"Me? Funny? Nah!" He takes a puff of his cigarette.

Stephanie fake coughs and waves her hand in front of her, "You're.cough.killing me." Both girls start laughing again.

"Stop killing the population." Stacey puts a serious look on her face. Chris and Gordie look at her, then down at their cigs. They put them out, thinking she was serious. At this site, the girls bust out laughing even harder than before, if possible. "I'm just messing with you!" She adds in between laughs.

"You guys think Chris is funny? You should see yourselves." Gordie starts in with the laughing.

"You guys are so adorable." Chris joins in.

"Awe, thanks! We work hard!" They make two big fake smiles.

"Just one night of hanging out with them, and I have already started to fall in love with this girl." Chris whispers. Which shocks Gordie, for Chris barely "loves" a girl.

Gordie nods as he stares at Stacey, who's still joking around with Stephanie, "Yeah, I feel the same." Both boys sit there in silence , While watching the girls in pure admiration. They still can't believe that they're in the same tree house as them.

"It's getting late you guys." Stacey says looking at her watch.

"Um.. I am not walking out in that!" Stephanie points outside the tree house window. It is pouring with a little bit of thunder.

"Yeah, I wouldn't let you guys anyway." Gordie says.

"I agree!" Chris stands on top of the door with his arms crossed. Gordie joins him.

"Ohh, look at what we've got here Steph. Some mocho security guards."

"We can take them." She nods her head at Stacey. The girls tackle the two boys onto the floor.

"Aint so tough now huh?" Stacey asks as they both are sitting on top of the guys' stomachs.

"You're crushing my pelvic area!" Chris acts hurt.

"What? Did you hear something Stacey?" Stephanie smiles cunningly. They stand up and reach out a helping hand. Gordie staggers when he jumps up and makes Stacey fall backwards onto her butt.

"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm not very balanced." Gordie helps Stacey back up.

"It's Ok, I'm not balanced at all." She laughs.

"Yeah, I can tell by the tent incident." All four start laughing at the remembrance.

A while later, Chris and Gordie are teaching Stephanie and Stacey how to play cards.

"I knock!" Chris shouts proudly.

"Already! We just started this hand you bastard!" Gordie states.

"I won!" Chris laughs out loud.

"Ha ha! Very funny!" Gordie says sarcastically.

"Hey, It's calmed down a bit. We better get going home before it starts up again." Stephanie says while looking out the window.

"Yeah, I agree." Stacey gets up to stretch.

"Where are you guys going to stay at tonight?" Stephanie questions.

"We'll just stay here, we do a lot." Chris starts moving the table.

"Well, thanks you guys, this was so much fun." Stacey exclaims.

"Yeah, I had a blast." Stephanie helps Chris.

"Do you guys want to get together again tomorrow?" Chris asks, hoping the answer is positive.

"Yeah, we'd like that." Stephanie walks over towards Chris. She kisses him on the cheek, Stacey doing the same to Gordie.

"Here's my number." Stacey writes it down on Gordie's hand, "We will both be at my house tomorrow, just call whenever you want to do something."

Gordie smiles, "Yeah, we'll do that."

"Thanks again for a wonderful night." They kiss the boys on their cheeks once more and head down the ladder.

Chris and Gordie are watching out the window as they leave. The two girls are laughing away.

"Man oh man, that was a blast!" Gordie says while falling back into a seat.

"Oh my god Gordie, do you not know what just happened there!" Chris backs away from the window.

"Yeah two fine girls were just hanging out with us! That's the first!" Gordie leans back into his chair as he gives off a smirk.

"Not only that, but they are falling in love with us, as we are with them!"

"If you say so buddy."

"Yeah I say so, and I mean so! I mean, she gave you her number! How many times does that happen in a day? A week? Even a month! For Petes sake Gordie! This is awesome!"

"Wow! You're right Chambers; we are calling them first thing tomorrow morning. Let's get some sleep, I'm tired as hell."

"Good idea, night buddy." They blow out their candle and turn off the flashlight and fall fast asleep.

At Stacey's house, right when they get back from the tree house.

"Whew that was so much fun tonight." Stephanie helps Stacey pull back the covers.

"Yeah I know, first we dump our pathetic boyfriends, then we have the most fun with guys that we've had in awhile!" Stacey turns on the radio.

"I'll say! They are so sweet, and so fun, it is unbelievable!"

"Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me! Twice on the pipes, dun dun, if the answer is noooo!" Stacey starts singing to hers and Stephanie's favorite song.

"Oh my sweetness!" Stephanie joins in. They start dancing around Stacey's room. When the songs over, they fall onto Stacey's bed laughing.

"I have no clue where I would be right now if you weren't my best friend." Stacey stares at the ceiling.

"I'll tell you, you would still be going out with that no good two timing Ace, and hanging out with whores as your friends."

"Yeah, thanks for the encouragement." They start laughing, well when are they not?

"Oh Chris, what a cutie pie!" Stephanie utters.

"You got the hotts for him!"

"Hey Stacey? Do you believe all the rumors about him are true? Do you really think he's just another Chambers kid?"

"Well to be perfectly honest with ya, I have no idea sweety. But by how he acted tonight, he doesn't seem like he's all big and bad. He seems sweet and caring. Not like any other guy, especially not like his brother. I will have to say, you choose a good one this time Steph." Stacey nods at her friend encouragingly.

"Thanks Stace, I'm just worried about Ace and Eyeball."

"Yeah, me too. Good night, wake me up in the morning if you wake up first, yeah you know the drill." They each giggle as they lay there in silence trying to go to sleep. Not knowing that each other is thinking about the adorable boys they were with that same night.
