Thanks for all the reviews everyone! Sorry for the bit of confusion with
the last chapter, I'll try to make sure it doesn't happen again. On with
the story!
"Twitty," Ren hissed.
"What? What's wrong?"
"We need to come up with a new plan. This one isn't working. It's not working at all. We need some new ideas."
"Okay, here's Plan B. My parents need someone to baby-sit my little brother tonight. It's a last minute thing, and they were going to have me do it. But, I don't want to, he's such a little psycho. So, here's what we'll do. First, I'll ask Tawny to do it. Then, without either of them knowing, I'll ask Louis to do it. They'll end up at the same place, and then I'll do something so they're stuck in there till I come home. It'll work."
"Are you sure? I mean, it might not work. What if it makes things worse?"
"No way! It's bound to work! Just wait outside my house for me around eight tonight, okay? We'll watch how they're doing from outside. It'll work, I'm sure." Twitty turned and walked away to go find Tawny.
"Hopefully." Ren muttered.
"Tawny! Hey! Sup?"
"What do you want, Twitty?"
Twitty noticed she looked tired. She also looked somewhat mad. "Want to make thirty bucks?"
"Why do I not like the way this sounds? Sure, how can I make thirty dollars?"
"Just have to babysit my brother tonight. Be there around ten to eight."
"No! The last time I sat for him, Louis and I were chasing him all night, and we had a huge mess to clean up. No way."
"Come on, Tawny. He's older now. More mature. I'll make it thirty- five!"
"Fine. I'll do it." Tawny turned and walked away.
"One down, one to go." Twitty whispered.
************************************************************************
Twitty finally got his chance to talk to Louis during gym. "So Louis, you want to make twenty dollars?"
"How?"
"Watch my little brother tonight for a couple of hours."
"I dunno, Twitty."
"Come on, it'll take your mind off your troubled love life."
"I have no love life, and if I did, it wouldn't be troubled!"
"Will you watch him then, please?"
"Fine. Twenty bucks is twenty bucks. What time?"
"Be there around five to eight." 'First step accomplished'
The Stevens family was eating dinner that night. "So, Louis, how was your day?" Eileen Stevens asked, noticing the way he picked at his food.
"Boring. I have to go watch Twitty's brother tonight. So I won't be home."
No one noticed the excited look on Ren's face.
"Louis, I'm not sure. It's late, and it's a school night."
"Let him go, Eileen. A little work can teach him some responsibility. And it will give him some money to pay back for the cabinet work."
"Alright. Alright. You can go, if you finish your homework."
"It's all done!"
After dinner, Ren and Louis were assigned to dish duty.
"So, Louis, how was your day? How are things between you and Tawny?"
"Who's Tawny?"
"Still fighting. Louis, you two should get over this stupid fight! Honestly! I think you should apologize for whatever you said to each other."
"We probably should."
"Well, then, when you see Tawny next, you apologize. Okay?"
"Alright, I guess."
'They'll be together sooner than they think'
************************************************************************
"Mom, I'm going to babysit!" Tawny yelled.
"Okay! Have fun!"
"Oh yeah, loads of fun," Tawny said sarcastically as she walked out the door. "Loads of fun sitting for the demon child. Oh goody. I can hardly wait." When Tawny got to Twitty's, she rang the doorbell and waited.
"Hey, Tawny! You're just in time! My brother is really excited."
"Oh. Great."
Tawny went inside and sat down on the couch. "Where is he?"
"Upstairs, getting into his pajamas. He'll be down soon."
Tawny looked around the room, remembering the last time she had been here, with Louis. the doorbell rang, and it snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Hey! You're just in time!"
'Who could that be' Tawny wondered. She looked towards the doorway to see Twitty and Louis walking towards her.
"What!"
"What is he doing here?!"
"You're watching my brother."
"No way. I am not doing anything with Louis."
"Sorry, guys. I gotta go. I'll set the alarm. Remember, don't open any doors or windows till I get home."
"Twitty, wait!"
"Oh no you don't!"
Twitty dashed off to the alarm and was out the door before the two could stop him.
"Now what am I going to do?" Tawny said, frowning. She didn't want to spend a whole night with someone she wasn't speaking to.
A number of thuds on the stairs told the two that their charge was coming.
"Twitty?" Ren whispered. She was hiding in one of the bushes, waiting for him.
"Okay. We'll leave and come back in a half hour to see how they're doing. My little brother should be asleep by then."
"What? Where are we going?"
"To a McDonalds or something."
"I don't have any money."
"I'll buy you something. Don't worry about it."
"Twitty."
"Don't worry!"
The two reached McDonalds. Ren tried not to get anything, but Twitty bought her a small order of fries anyway.
"So, the dance is tomorrow," Twitty said.
"Yeah. Hopefully this plan works."
"Are you going with anyone?"
"No. Are you?"
"No. Maybe we'll see each other there."
"Yeah, maybe."
The two sat in silence for the rest of the time there.
Meanwhile, at the home front.
"Why did I agree to this?!" Tawny shouted as she ran throughout the house, trying to find Twitty's brother."
He popped out a second later, spraying her and Louis with baby- powder.
Tawny screamed and both she and Louis coughed several times.
"So this is what my parents went through," Louis muttered.
"I feel sorry for them," Tawny whispered.
"We'll, I'm getting a feel for what marriage is like."
"Eww! I would so not want to be married to you!"
"Neither would I! I hate you!"
"I hate you too!"
Louis frowned, and grabbed the nearest thing to him, the container of baby powder. He didn't realize what he had taken, and he didn't hear the yell of amusement from Twitty's brother. He sprayed Tawny with the jar, making an even bigger mess, and causing every inch of Tawny to turn white.
Tawny stood there, glaring at Louis.
"Well, I wonder how they're doing?" Twitty asked, as he went up to one of his windows, just in time to witness Louis hit Tawny with the baby powder.
"Oh my gosh!" Ren exclaimed.
"It didn't work. The plan didn't work!"
"You better go in there before she retaliates!"
Twitty ran in the house as quick as he could.
"That was the worst idea ever. Maybe it really isn't meant to be for Louis and Tawny." Ren whispered.
