Chapter 9- The Switch

A/N: I think this is the last chapter but I don't know... I may add one more. Anyway. I don't own Les Mis. I don't own Mountain Dew. And I don't own "Girls Gone Wild" (Thank goodness!). Warning for onesided Epster/Paul and a joke about "Girls Gone Wild". No Flames Please.

Epster walked up to Paul's door the next day. Tomorrow, she would leave for Utah. She rang the door bell.

"Come in," Paul said.

Epster walked in. Paul looked at her and Grantaire laughed. Epster was dressed in a tight red dress with a slit up one side. She wore her hair up with a rose near her ear. She had makeup and wore red sandals. She smelled of roses and wore a diamond brooch. Paul shuddered.

"Are you ready?" Epster asked.

"Uh... yeah."

"Epster grabbed Paul's hands and closed her eyes. She began to speak telepathically.

"Grantaire, Eponine, Joly, Enjolras?"

"Yes?"

"I want you to come over to me."

"Kiss Paul and we will," Grantaire joked. This proved to be a mistake.

"Okay."

Epster kissed Paul on the lips. He gagged. It was a short kiss but he still was freaked out. Epster felt them enter her mind and soon, the foursome was in Epster's mind and Paul was left alone.

"Are they-"

"Yes. You are free," Epster sighed. "One question on payment."

"Yes?"

"Will you wait at the airport with me?"

"Sure."

"Now, I wonder if I need to get four extra tickets," Epster said causing them both to laugh uncomfortably.

"Hey, Epster," Grantaire said.

"Yes?"

"Are you of legal drinking age?"

"No."

Grantaire let out a string of curse words.

"I can have Mountain Dew though."

Paul laughed. Epster smiled at him. It was almost a sad smile.

"My things are actually on the doorstep... Can I stay here for the night?"

"Sure," Paul said warily.

Epster settled down on the couch and pulled out a picture. Paul looked at it and saw that it was the picture of "him", running in the nude. Epster didn't notice Paul. She hugged the picture before falling asleep. Paul watched her sleep. He was going to miss her but he wasn't about to admit it.

The next morning, Paul woke Epster up. She showered and the two had breakfast. It was French toast. Grantaire took over and ranted about why it was called French toast. Paul and Epster laughed about this rant. Paul then realized he had to take Epster to the airport. They got into his car and he drove to the airport. They checked her bags and went up to the gate.

"All those boarding flight 109 to Salt Lake City, please board now."

Epster turned to Paul, tears running down her face. She buried her face in Paul's chest and bawled. Paul hugged her.

"Paul... I'm gonna miss you so much."

"I'll miss you too."

Epster looked up at him. She reached up and grabbed his face in her hands. She kissed him passionately. She smiled after they parted.

"I love you," she sniffled.

Paul watched Epster board the plane. He felt a tear roll down his cheek. He walked away after watching the plane take off and walked to his car. He got in and drove back to his home. He felt so alone now.

Epster sat on the plane and closed her eyes going into the white room. She remembered in horror that she didn't drink any Mountain Dew. When she had her layover in Kansas, Grantaire heard a noise and caused her to streak about the plane. She was finally able to regain control and ask for Mountain Dew.

"Please put away the video camera, sir." A stewardess told a man.

Epster got home and plopped down on her bed. Her mom would not be home for a while so she turned on the TV. She froze when she saw it was a "Girl's Gone Wild" commercial and there... on the plane... she saw herself, running around in the nude. Epster got up, went to the bathroom, and vomited. Meanwhile, Paul turned to the same channel and saw the same commercial and started laughing hysterically.
