"I call this bed," Grace said, throwing her stuff on the bed in the hotel room. Joan dumped her stuff next to Grace's and sat on the bed, staring at her cell phone. They had just arrived at the hotel for the national competition that was taking place for the next four days. Joan had been reluctant to leave her mother again, who had insisted that she go.
"Hey, do think that maybe you could detach your faces for two seconds and take your crap out of the doorway so we can close it!" Grace called to Glynis and Friedman who were busy in the hall. Apparently neither had heard Grace as they continued. Frustrated, Grace walked over to them and stood right in front of their faces.
"My, Glynis that is the best CPR administration I've ever seen. Unfortunately for all of us though, Friedman isn't anywhere near dead. I could fix that very quickly though!" Grace lifted her fist and that was all it took. Friedman was gone like a shot, disappearing into the room next door. Glynis sighed and stared dreamily after him. Rolling her eyes, Grace pulled her inside and slammed the door shut. She walked over and sat next to Joan on the bed.
"You know, it doesn't matter how hard you look at it, you have to press the little button for it to work."
Joan glared at her and sighed also.
"Girardi, your mother is fine. She has two and a half able bodied people and a gun at home watching out for her, now will you please stop being such a drag." Grace said as she got up to answer the door. She opened it to see Luke standing there grinning.
"Go put on something nice."
"Why?" Grace asked, acting as if he'd just told her to go poke her eyes out with scissors.
"Because I know for a fact that Miss Lishek is going out tonight."
"As in a date?" Grace's eyes widened as she said this, suddenly understanding what it meant.
"Yep, with the teacher from the last competition."
"Finally, some fun! How long have we got?" Grace asked, becoming excited with the prospect of something to do.
"We're leaving in half an hour," he bent down and kissed her quickly.
"Go get them ready," he said and disappeared. Grace closed the door and ran over to Joan. She grabbed the cell phone and in an instant, Grace had shoved it down her shirt.
"GRACE!" Joan demanded.
"Give me back my phone!"
"Nope. I'm sorry it's busy sitting in my bra right now. We're going out, so go get ready."
"I will go in there and get it," Joan threatened, stepping closer to her. Grace hopped up on their bed.
"Don't make me put it down my pants Girardi and you know I will!"
"URGH!" Joan screamed and stormed off into the bathroom. She turned and saw Glynis, holding her book with a frightened look on her face.
"There is plenty of room down here for THAT too!" she said, motioning to her chest. Glynis timidly placed the book down on the bed and went over to her suitcase.

"Come in!"
Miss Lishek opened the door to see Grace sitting on the bed in a hotel bathrobe watching tv and a lump that appeared to be Joan, in the bed.
"Where's Glynis?"
"She's in the bathroom. Girardi's asleep already, she's that boring."
"Rest is important Miss Polk."
"Yeah," she rolled her eyes.
"Luke said that too when he, Friedman, and Rove went to bed twenty minutes ago."
"Well, I guess there's no need to go over the rules then. Have a good evening Grace, I'll see you tomorrow."
The minute the door closed, Joan threw off the covers and rolled out of bed.
"Oh and Grace," Miss Lishek opened the door and Joan dropped to the floor.
"If there are any problems, my phone is on. Where is Joan?"
"Uh, she had to pee. You know Joan; she's got the bladder control of an old woman. In fact, I've heard she's a bed wetter," Grace nodded.
"Oh," Miss Lishek looked very surprised.
"It's supposed to be a secret though, so hush hush," Grace put a finger to her lips to demonstrate.
"Yes, yes of course," Miss Lishek nodded.
"Good night."
"Grace!" Joan stood up as soon as the door closed and it was safe.
"What?" Grace asked as she undid the tie on her bathrobe.
"Oh forget it, not like you'd listen anyway," Joan said, sounding slightly annoyed. Grace shrugged and slipped of the bathrobe, revealing a red embroidered bodice and black pants with high heeled mary janes. Joan sighed and straightened out her knee length black skirt and pink halter-top. The heels of her black sandals clicked across the floor as she went to get Glynis.
"She's gone," Joan called as she knocked.
"Hurry up!" Grace demanded as she grabbed her things.
"Coming!" and Glynis stepped out of the bathroom in her blue tank top and flowery skirt.
"Common, we're meeting the boys in the lobby," Grace explained and they all followed her to the elevator.
