"Nothing... I just would like to pick Cin up before my mother decides to come outside and dust the grass. Which she does EVERY day from 7:00-7:30."
"Yea… Jim... I'm PRETTY sure your mom is the only one I know who makes a habit of dusting the yard."
"Not my fault!" Jimmy said hopping out of the vehicle to ring Cindy's doorbell.
"One second!" he heard Cindy holler through the door. "Wow! You're about five minutes early!" She said appearing at the door not long after.
"How about we keep it that way… I'm trying to sneak my way to the party and mom should come outside anytime to dust the grass."
"Cool! Let's go!" Cindy said and the two ran to the car and jumped in back.
"By the way, cute outfit!" Jimmy said as Sheen zoomed down the street.
"Thanks." Cindy said. She had put on shorts that were probably a whole inch long and low-rise as well; along with a double spaghetti strap tank that was hot pink with 'hottie' written in black letters that appeared to be on fire.
"Sheen… do you happen to have that new CD out by NR Rocks?"
"Jesus Geek? No. Mom didn't approve of 'What if I Crumble', or 'In the Dark."
"You're kidding? Those are like the BEST!"
"I know! Well… here we are… you two go 0on.. I'm gonna go catch up with Carl." Sheen said vanishing into the crowd of teens in the front yard.
Jimmy climbed out and waited for Cindy to come out behind him. "Let's see if there's anything sides wine and beer… I'm thirsty and it's too early for that."
"Ok… hey… Jim, mind if I go talk to Betty… I'll be right back."
"Ok… sure." He said and she ran off about thirty feet to where Nick and Betty were.
Cindy guessed from the look that Betty gave her that she and Nick were trying to get off by themselves alone. "Hey… I was wondering when next cheer practice is."
"Tuesday… and Cin, I'd love to hat but Nick and I were heading over there so I'll call ya later, K?"
"Sure." Cindy headed back to Jimmy and they joined hands. "Sorry… had to ask her a quick question."
"That's cool… can we set down a sec?"
"I guess." Cindy said and they sat down on a nearby couch, Cindy on top of Jimmy due to crowdedness. "Jim… this ain't that comfortable… I got this darn armrest in my ribs."
"Wanna dance?"
"Not now… maybe later… my ribs hurt to much."
"Wanna walk around?"
"Sure." They both walked outside and found Cal and Sheen arguing… and apparently slightly drunk.
"Hey, Jim, how many hours are in a minute?" Carl asked.
"Cause Carl insists that there's a hundred… but I KNOW it's sixty."
"Um… I'm PRETTY sure it's sixty MINUTES in an hour." Then turning to Cindy. "My vote is we leave this area."
"I'm with you… however I really need something to drink… I'm dying out here."
"All I can find at this point is wine."
"Then get me a small cup… I am SO thirsty I don't care at this point."
"Ok… I'll grab too... a small won't hurt anything." Jimmy left Cindy by the house and grabbed two small glasses of wine. "Here." They 'cheered' and then drank what they had.
"Man it's nippy out here… I'm heading going inside."
"I'm behind you. Looks a little bit like rain." Jimmy said as a gust of REALLY cold air swept over them. Apparently everyone else felt it and decided to go in not long after because as soon as Jimmy and Cindy sat down they were pushed off he couch and moved to where Betty and Nick were.
"I like apples." Jimmy said thoughtfully, his head resting atop of Cindy's whose was resting against his chest."
"Really?"
"Yea… they are so… fresh."
"I guess they are. Hmm… where'd Nick go?"
"I dunno… why?"
"Cause... I forgot to tell Ms. Betty-Lynn something."
"Probably in one of those rooms behind us… wanna knock and see?"
"Sure." She stood up and Jimmy followed, knocking on the first door."
"Who is it?" A younger girl called out.
"No one."
"Ok… hope you have a great day no one!"
Jimmy didn't think twice of the girl and knocked on the next door. "Go away!" a gruffer man yelled throwing something at the door.
"You can try the next." He told Cindy. She knocked on the door. Nothing.
"Should we like... dare to enter… they have been know to just watch TV in a separate room a few times.
