A/N: Not dealing too much with Fi and Roger, but they will be dealt with in the next one which I'm writing after this! I thought that Maureen and Joanne weren't getting to much attention and well I plan to spoil Gen and Mark's relationship...at least for a while.

Disclaimer: I own me. I also own Gen, Fi, and the handsome gay man- Aaron. However, I do not own Mark, Maureen, Joanne, Roger, or Collins. Tragic really.

A Pretty Much Useless Chapter.

Aaron and Collins woke up to the sound of Gen puttering around in the kitchen. Aaron knew that Fi was out on the balcony and clearly avoiding Gen. He had heard Gen slam a few doors last night and he could only guess they had, had an argument. He was surprised however. Fi and Gen rarely fought and when they did, it was usually over in minutes. This one seemed different, and he realized it was because of Roger's revelation to Fi last night. Had Fi not taken it well? Apparently not. She crawled back through the window and mumbled something to him that sounded much like a 'Good morning.' She walked back into her room and changed into her jogging apparel. She returned into the living room and turned to Gen in the kitchen. "I'm going jogging."

"Have fun." She said kindly, though not looking up at Fi. Fi sighed and walked out of the door and down the steps.

"What happened last night?" He asked Gen.

"I'm not going to gossip about it. It's over." Gen said sternly. Aaron shrugged it off. Gen came out of the kitchen holding three cups of coffee. She handed Aaron his and giggled when she saw that Collins had fallen back to sleep. She walked over to the couch and sat on him. He woke up and groaned.

"Good morning Gen," he said, his voice muffled by the couch cushions.

"'Morning love. Coffee?"

He nodded. She handed him the black brew and he looked at the mug and then at her. "Um Gen...I can't drink this when you're on top of me."

"Whoops. Sorry." She grinned. She took a spot next to him and Aaron sat on the other side of her. He put his arm on the back of the couch and Collins did the same. Gen leaned back and turned the TV on. She began flipping through and decided to stop on a movie that stared Johnny Depp and Mary Stuart Masterson.

"What is this Gen?" Aaron asked.

"Benny and Joon. Such a sweet movie."

"You only like it because of Johnny Depp."

"No I don't. But his presence in the movie does make it better."

"I think I've seen this." Aaron said.

"You have."

"When?"

"On the night I caught you in my junior prom dress."

"What?" Collins asked.

"Apparently Aaron wanted to feel like a princess so he tried on my junior prom dress. Luckily he was smart enough to not try on my senior prom dress. I would have murdered him if he had."

"Okay onto something more interesting..." Aaron said trying to divert the conversation to something other than that.

"Oh Aaron you're not still embarrassed that I caught you in it are you?"

"Actually I am. You weren't supposed to be home for another two hours."

"Not my fault my prom date decided to get pissed drunk before the actual prom after party!"

"Oh yeah, sorry forgot."

"So anyway, tell me about this prom dress incident." Collins said eagerly.

Gen laughed, "Okay, so I was come home from my senior prom around 1 or so, and I walk up to my room and there Aaron is prancing around in a pink fluffy prom gown. Unfortunately we aren't the same body type so he couldn't zip it up. Needless to say his face was redder than my hair and had a hard time getting out of the dress. Spent twenty minutes trying to pull it off of his waist, greatest thing that happened that night if I do say so myself."

"I'm glad I was your sole source of entertainment."

"Don't worry you weren't. Kathy was pretty hilarious after she got drunk. I'm so glad I listened to my mother for once, I'd hate to think what I look like drunk." Gen said as she shivered at the thought.

"Any more embarrassing stories about Aaron?" Collins asked.

"Oh I have loads."

Aaron groaned and got up from the couch. "Fine, reveal my deepest secrets but I'm going upstairs. I refuse to listen to this." He said, trying to sound miffed.

"Bye!" Gen and Collins said in unison and Aaron walked back upstairs. He opened the door and found both Roger and Mark on the couch eating stale cereal and watching TV.

"Hey guys, what's up?"

Mark looked up, "Um, nothing. Just watching TV...well trying, Roger keeps changing the channel."

"Huh?" Roger said at the sound of his name.

"Wasn't talking to you sunshine." Roger glared at him. "Not intimated by your glare Roger so stop." Roger smiled and returned his attention to the TV. "So what brings you to man-town?" Mark asked.

"Gen is spilling my most embarrassing moments to Collins and since I can't murder her for fear of what Fi would do to me, I came upstairs."

"Well, have a seat." Roger spoke up.

"Thanks man." Aaron sat down next to Roger and turned his attention to the TV. After a while Collins walked up the stairs to the loft laughing heartedly. "Have fun?" Aaron asked coolly.

"Aw don't be like that."

Aaron smiled, "Whatever, did Gen kick you out?"

"Yeah, she went to go take a shower."

"Guess that means I have to go back down."

"What!" All three guys exclaimed.

"I'm self-proclaimed towel boy. Relax hon, I've seen both Fi and Gen naked and neither times have I wanted to ravage their bodies."

"Yes we know that smart-ass." Collins stated

"Then why the surprise?"

"Didn't know those two made you their personal servants."

He was about to respond to this when a voice called up, "AARON!"

"That's me!" He proclaimed happily. "Coming Princess. Be back later." He said and kissed Collins soundly before bounding down the steps.

"He's so cute." Collins said happily.

"Wrong people to tell that to." Mark said. Collins laughed. A moment later Aaron came back inside.

"Gen said if anyone wanted breakfast to go down and she'd cook it when she was done." Needless to say by the time Gen got out of the shower she had four very hungry men waiting for her. She looked out into the living room and laughed.

"I'll be out in a moment." She called out.

"Alright Great! Collins said, remembering her dinner from last night. A few minutes later she came out barefoot wearing a long sleeve blue shirt and jeans.

"Eggs, Pancakes, and sausage alright?" They nodded, "Alright go sit in front of the TV and I'll call you when I'm done." All four men left the kitchen and Gen smiled at the fact that she had suddenly become the "mother" of the group. She started up another pot of coffee and mixed up the pancake batter. Mark into the kitchen after that.

"Need any help?"

Gen looked up at Mark and smiled. "Sure. What can you do?"

"Um... cereal?" She laughed.

"Alright, I'll let you make the pancakes since the batter is already done. Just put them on the frying pan and flip them when they begin to brown." She walked him over to the stove and showed him what she meant. When she saw that he was doing it correctly she walked over to the refrigerator and got the eggs and sausage out. Mark called her over after ten minutes and she went over to him to see what the problem was.

"Everything alright?" She asked, looking up at him as he smeared pancake batter on her face. "Think you're funny do you?" She asked. He shrugged. She sighed and returned to her post, he had finished with the pancakes and walked over to her and put his arms around her waist from behind. She smiled and leaned back into him. He nuzzled her neck for a few minutes while Gen chopped up some fruit.

"You have pancake batter on your face." He whispered into her ear. She stopped cutting up fruit and turned to face him.

"Wonder how that happened." She said. He laughed and reached down to her cheek where the batter was and kissed her cheek, thoroughly removing the batter.

She smiled when he pulled back. "Thanks but make it more like this." She put her arms around his neck and pulled him down into a kiss. His lips immediately began moving over hers as he moved his hands to her waist. Roger walked in.

"Hey what's taking so long...oh..."

Neither Gen nor Mark moved from their embrace but Gen did left her hand, shooing him away from the kitchen. He chuckled softly and walked back into the living room. "Gen and Mark are entertaining themselves at the moment, so it might....take a while." Roger finished when he saw Aaron and Collins kissing on the couch. He sighed and walked into the bathroom. When he came out he saw Fi talking and laughing with Aaron and Collins. He stood there silently, hoping that she would at least acknowledge him. She looked up once and saw him in the door way. She walked past him briskly and walked into her bedroom shutting the door silently. "Great." He mumbled to himself. Gen smiled sympathetically.

"Breakfast is ready."

Everyone walked to the table, and Fi came out and sat on the other side of Gen, which unfortunately for Roger was directly across from his seat, forcing him to look at her the entire time.

At Maureen and Joanne's apartment, Maureen woke up first. She walked out and looked out the window across from the city. Joanne came out thirty minutes later. "Hello." She told Maureen stiffly.

"Hey." Maureen said softly. She honestly did not know as to why Joanne was being so cold to her.

"Have a good time last night?" She asked coldly.

"Yeah, I guess so. We watched Fi's band perform, after that things got a little chaotic."

"They always do with you."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Maureen asked, offended.

"It means that you have to be in the spotlight all the time Maureen, and that you'll do anything and I do mean anything to get into that spotlight."

"Where is this coming from? What are you hiding?"

"I'm not the one to hide things in this relationship Maureen, that would be you."

"Give me a break."

"And why the hell would I do that. You're always getting breaks from Maureen, always using people to your advantage to get what you want."

"Is that what this is about?"

"Is that what's about?"

"Do you honestly believe that I'm using you. After all, what do I have to gain from using you?" Maureen stated, glaring at her coldly.

"That's what I wonder Maureen. What do you have to gain from being with me?" Joanne said, clearly not intimidated.

"Oh I don't know, maybe the joy of being with someone I love. But maybe you don't know what that feels like since your constantly questioning my motives. At the beginning I could understand your hesitance to trust me, after all I did break up with someone after cheating on him with you, but after Angel's death, I have done nothing to warrant this. So now it comes down to this, do you trust me, or don't you?"

Joanne looked at and simply stated, "No I do not."

"I'll be out of here by tonight then." Maureen said, leaving the apartment and slamming the door loudly.

Joanne shouted after her, "Good! Damn Drama Queen."

Maureen stuck up her favored finger and replied, "Stuck up Bitch." Having no where to go, she ran straight to Mark and Roger's apartment. Finding no one there she decided to check Fi and Aaron's place, there at the table sat everyone, including the person she was most anxious to see...Mark.

A/N: And I'm leaving off there. Here I go to finish up Chapter 15, and I'm debating on whether I should put it up tomorrow or make all of you suffer through the weekend. If you really want to read it however, let me know and I'll post it up by Sunday morning. Cheers.
