So I don't know what happened with the last chapter I posted, I hope people
didn't stop reading it because of that, it was like it was right one second
then it wasn't and it was a part of my other story. But I made a really
long one this time to make up for it.
Anyway on we go.
Kevin: What? I thought you just said you liked her and you wanted me to be happy and she makes me happy, really happy and
Kat: I was referring to living arrangements.because I am obviously not staying with you two, considering what I just witnessed. You two are staying in the same hotel room aren't you?
Kevin: (blushes) Yeah.
Kat: Don't worry about it I think I can find a place to crash at least for tonight. Then I can get my own room.
Kevin: Who are you gonna stay with? The only people I know that would have extra space in their rooms are guys and you are so not staying with a guy.
Kat: Why not you're staying with a girl.
Kevin: Ok, ok I know no fatherly lectures. But it would help me sleep at night.
Kat: (grabs his hand) Nah, it's nice to know that you care. But you room with Trish and actually manage to sleep?
Kevin: Kathryn!
Kat: What?! All I'm saying if I were you and I had a girl like Trish I wouldn't be doing much sleeping.
Kevin: I am not having this conversation with my daughter.
Kat: Oh come on can you honestly say that there are any secrets between us anymore? If it makes you feel any better I could tell you that I was 15 when.
Kevin: No! (Covering his ears) La la la la la. I would rather not think about your sex life or even the fact that you actually have one so can we please change the subject.
Kat: Ok. And I'm not staying with any guys so you can feel better. I'll stay with Mikhaila.
Kevin: Who is she.
Kat: My girlfriend.
Kevin: WHAT! Oh no I know you're just trying to freak me out. Who is she seriously?
Kat: Oh, she's um, Adam's friend yeah, from Canada.
Kevin: Oh ok, no can we please finish dinner now?
(They finish dinner and Kat calls Mikhaila's room from the lobby)
Mikhaila: Hello?
Kat: Mikhaila? Is that you? This is Kat.
Mikhaila: Oh hey Kat. What's up?
Kat: Um, I know that we've known each other, what, 5 minutes? Can I stay with you tonight?
Mikhaila: Is there a problem with you and Kevin?
Kat: No, no problem. It's a good thing. See, my dad has a girlfriend.
Mikhaila: Oh! Makes sense now. Sure! It'll be nice having company. Just bring your stuff to my room. I'm in 1253.
Kat: Sweet! I'll be there in a few. (hangs up and goes with Kevin to his room, collects her things, and goes to Mikhaila's room. Knocks) Mikhaila? Yo, open up!
Mikhaila: (opening the door) A little insistent are you? Come on in!
Kat: (looks around the room) Hell, when you're the boss's daughter.
Mikhaila: I know! Jesus, you could fit half the city in here it seems like!
Kat: So what should we do first?
Mikhaila: Clubbing. I need to get out. You up for it?
Kat: Oh hell yeah! Anyone else going?
Mikhaila: Considering you're the only other person I know here, no.
(The two get dressed to go out. Mikhaila is wearing a short leather skirt with knee high leather boots and a red halter top. Kat is wearing black bellbottom pants and a black tanktop with a star on it and a spiked choker. They find a club and when they get there they notice some people they'd seen around backstage. Kat takes her over and introduces her)
Kat: Guys, this is Mikhaila. Mikhaila, this is Jeff, Matt, Amy, Jay, Stacy, Drew, and of course you already know Adam.
Stacy: Hey Mikhaila. You know, you look kind of familiar. Have I seen you somewhere before?
Kat: (quickly) Oh no! She's.Adam's friend. From Canada. (gives him a pointed look)
Adam: (catches on) Yeah! She's my friend from back home.
Jay: But I never.(feels Adam kick him under the table, giving him an I'll tell you later look).got a chance to say hi before. What's up? Haven't seen you in a while.
Mikhaila: I'm great. (looks at Adam confused) I haven't seen.Jay in a while either. It's nice to see him again.
Adam: (nods his head to the side) Come on. There's other people I want you to meet. (takes her aside) Look, Jay's my best friend from back home in Canada. He's gotta know what's going on if you're using me as a cover.
Mikhaila: Well it wasn't really my idea! Kat just pops up with this idea and I'm stuck going along with it. (sighs) Do you mind? Vince knows that you know, so it's not like he'll kill you.
Adam: (shrugs) Do I have a choice?
Mikhaila: (shakes her head) Not really. Thanks for the help. Why don't you come back to my room with Kat and Jay later and all four of us can at least talk about this, considering the four of us are kind of involved.
Adam: (nods) That'll work. Come on. If we don't get back soon they'll begin to wonder what I've done with you.
Mikhaila: (closes her eyes and puts her hands on his shoulders) Take me to your leader.
Adam: Funny, but you've already met him. Let's go. (heads back with her to the table)
Jay: (moving next to Adam) What the hell is going on? What'd you two get me into?
Adam: (whispering) I'll explain later. Public is a bad place to do this, and ESPECIALLY with everyone we're around.
Jay: But why.
Adam: Please, Jay, I'll explain later. (grabs his drink) Oh I'm gonna need this. (downs it)
Jay: Um, Adam, you remember what happened the last time you drank?
Adam: Jumping out a window into the snow, I get it.
Jay: Are you sure.
Mikhaila: (turns laughing) Are you telling me you got drunk and jumped out a window?
Adam: (nods) Not a good idea for me to drink wine. Bad bad idea.
Mikhaila: (laughing herself to tears) You lightweight.
Adam: (raises eyebrow) Is that a challenge?
Mikhaila: If you say so. Pick your poison.
Adam: (thinks) Sex on the Beach.
Mikhaila: Tempting offer Adam, but drinkwise that's a girly drink. Whiskey. Straight up whiskey. I'll get the glasses and the bottle.
Jay: (shakes head) This is gonna be a disaster.
Mikhaila: (gets back with the bottle and two shot glasses, fills them) Drink. (The two end up finishing the bottle. Mikhaila isn't feeling much, but Adam is piss drunk) You don't drink much do you?
Adam: (shakes his head) Nnnooope. Tha las time I drunk I fell ow a winow.
Mikhaila: Jay, a little assistance? I think Adam needs to go home.
Adam: (nods) Yessss. I nee ta go seep. (falls over onto her) Take me ome peas?
Mikhaila: (shakes her head) Oh my god. Why did he even agree to drink with me?
Jay: He's a stubborn jackass that's gonna have the hangover from hell in the morning.
Mikhaila: (nods) Oh god yeah. Come on. Kat, you coming? I've gotta get Adam back to the hotel. He's bombed.
Kat: Sure. (waves to the others) I'll see you guys later.
(The four of them grab a cab back to the hotel and help Adam out of the car.)
Adam: (leaning on Mikhaila and Jay) I like you guys. You fffunny people.
Mikhaila: (groans) What have I done?
Jay: Mikhaila, meet the Drunken Master. Drunken Master, Mikhaila. By the way, you're not allowed near any windows. Let's just be glad Chris wasn't with us tonight, otherwise we'd have Drunkacho to deal with too.
Adam: (waves his head around) Wwhere? Wwhere's Drunkacho?
Mikhaila: He's not here Adam. We're going to your room now.
Adam: (confused) You stayin wif us?
Mikhaila: No, I have my own room.
Adam: (hand on his head, confused look still) Lil fas isn it?
Mikhaila: (wide eyed and chuckling) Oh good god Adam. Kat, you wanna head back to the room? I've got an extra key with me.
Kat: (looks at Adam) Probably a good idea. I'll see ya later. (heads off)
Mikhaila: Alright Adam, into the elevator. Jay, where's your room?
Adam: (standing in the elevator, his balance is knocked when the elevator starts moving and he tips sideways. Mikhaila and Jay catch him from falling. His head lolls to the side) Mik, you've got a nice ass.
Jay: Adam.(busts out laughing)
Mikhaila: (laughing) Adam, for your sake, I hope you don't remember this.
Adam: (confused) Remember what?
Mikhaila: Good Adam. (pats his head) You may be drunk, but you learn quick. (they get off the elevator and get him to his room with Jay. They get him on the bed, where he promptly passes out. Jay lays on his bed while Mikhaila lays on the couch) Alright, so you probably want to know who I am right?
Jay: (nods) Would be nice, considering I've just admitted to half a dozen of my closest friends that I've known you for years.
Mikhaila: Alright. Here it goes. And yes, I'm telling the truth, and no, you're not drunk nor have you had too much to drink.
Jay: Alright. (confused)
Mikhaila: My father is Vince McMahon.
Jay: (laughs) Right. And I'm the Queen Mum.
Mikhaila: (smirks) Nice to meet you your majesty.
Jay: (raises eyebrow) You're shitting me, right?
Mikhaila: You know, I've never quite gotten that expression, but no, I'm not shitting you.
Jay: (wide eyed) But how.who.what?
Mikhaila: (sighs) Alright. Vince was thinking about divorcing Linda a long ass time ago, so they separated. He came to Chicago, where he met my mom. He was gonna stay with my mom but found out Linda was pregnant, so my mom sent him away to her, knowing he wanted to be with his kids. So time goes on and they keep meeting when he's in Chicago. She gets pregnant one of those time, but instead of telling him, runs away, cutting off contact. Blink ahead 24 years. Mom dies, hands me an envelope as she dies, and tells me that the answer's in the envelope. And here I am.
Jay: You're shitting me right?
Mikhaila: Nope. And here's the best part: Stephanie and Shane know, and they'll probably take my head off next time they see me. (sighs) You know that expression when it rains it pours?
Jay: Yeah.
Mikhaila: Well there's a flood warning in my area right now due to constant monsoon rains.
Jay: (nods) Oh yeah.
Mikhaila: You know, every pun intended, but stand back, there's a Hurricane a comin.
Jay: (laughs) You've got a weird sense of humor. Your mom's side?
Mikhaila: (nods) But apparently I get some of my looks and my sarcasm and temper from my dad.
Jay: (looks at her) Yeah, I can see the looks thing.
Mikhaila: (yawns) Well, night.
Jay: (confused) What the hell are you doing?
Mikhaila: (throws a blanket over herself) Going to sleep.
Jay: In here?
Mikhaila: (nods) I wanna be here in the morning when Sleeping Beauty wakes up. I got him drunk. It's my responsibility to take care of him. (closes her eyes)
Jay: Whatever. (goes to sleep)
Adam: (wakes up in the morning with a severe headache and a need to puke. Runs to the bathroom, crashing into the wall and waking Mikhaila up) Oh god. Not feeling good.
Mikhaila: (opening one eye) What the hell.oh, I'm in their room. Adam, what'd you do? (hears him fall down in the bathroom) Shit! (runs and holds his head over the toilet and holds his hair back) Adam, you're an idiot.
Adam: (grabs his toothbrush and toothpaste, turning red) Thanks, but what are you doing here?
Mikhaila: I told Jay everything last night after we got you up here and I figured I'd just crash on your couch. You've got a nice couch by the way.
Adam: (closes his eyes) Turn off the lights. Please, no lights.
Mikhaila: You don't have anything to do for work today do you?
Adam: (shakes his head) Well, now that you mention it, I've gotta go to a signing this afternoon. Good thing my character wears sunglasses.
Mikhaila: Then we'd better get you sobered up real quick. (searches through his bag) You've gotta have some form of aspirin in here. (looks around)
Adam: Actually, I'm allergic to the stuff.
Mikhaila: Well, grab what you need for later. You're coming to my room. I've got damn near everything in there.
Adam: (shrugs) Whatever. Just so long as I can be out in public by..well, seven hours from now.
Mikhaila: (looks at him as they walk out the door) Why in god's name did you agree to drink with me last night?
Adam: (walking down the hall with her) I have no damn idea. And why aren't you as miserable as I am.
Mikhaila: I went to college. I learned real quick to hold my liquor.
Adam: Ah. (nods then holds his head) Not good idea to nod. Let's just lay down now. Not wanting to move.
Mikhaila: Well, one elevator trip left. (gets in the elevator and on the way up remembers what he said last night and laughs)
Adam: What?
Mikhaila: Do you even remember what you said last night?
Adam: (thinks) At what point?
Mikhaila: The elevator.
Adam: (thinks back and goes wide eyed, looking at her) Uh oh.
Mikhaila: (nods) Yeah.
Adam: (turns red) Oh man. I've made a complete ass of myself. Shit!
Mikhaila: It's fine. I've done this before, unfortunately. In college, you learn a lot of shit, including how to cure a hangover in time for an exam. Or, in your case, a public appearance. (opens her door) Come on. Lay down on the couch. I'll find some sort painkillers. Aleve work?
Adam: (nods and lays down) Oh god, what's that noise?
Mikhaila: Sounds like Kat's playing a guitar.
Adam: (closes his eyes and puts pillows over his ears) Make it stop! Please make it stop!!
Mikhaila: (shouts) Hey Kat, can you cut the guitar for a while?
Adam: MIK! STOP SHOUTING!
Mikhaila: Sorry! (hears the guitar stop) Well, it worked. (walks over with water and Aleve) Here's the Aleve. I'll have room service send some food up.
Adam: I don't want to see anything resembling food. I just saw it in the toilet thank you very much.
Mikhaila: (chuckling) Lots of bread. It'll soak up the alcohol. That way you'll sober up faster. I think.
Adam: (groans) Whatever you say. Just please make sure I can be in public today, or your dad'll fire me.
Mikhaila: No he won't. (hears a knock at the door)
Adam: Aw man! My head's pounding so bad I can hear it!
Mikhaila: No dear, that's the door. Someone's knocking.
Adam: Why does everyone insist on torturing me now?
Mikhaila: (walking to answer the door) Cause you're so damn entertaining when you're hung over. (opens the door) Hey Matt. Come on in! (shouts) Hey Kat! It's Matt!! Get your ass out here!
Adam: MIK! THE SHOUTING!
Mikhaila: Sorry again! I'm gonna call for that food.
Matt: (looking at Adam on the couch) Do I even need to ask?
Adam: Add whiskey to the list of things I'll never drink again.
Matt: You look like hell.
Adam: You don't look so bad yourself.
Matt: (shakes his head) Good god man. And you've got a signing tonight don't you?
Adam: Yeah. So right now I've got.oh.7 hours to sober up enough to be in public.
Matt: And you ended up here how?
Adam: Another long story.
Matt: Right. And on that note.I have plans with Kat so I'll see you later.
Adam: (raises eye brow) Plans with Kat huh?
Matt: Dude it's not like that. I'm with Amy and I have been for a long time you know that, besides Kat's just a kid.
Adam: I don't know man, she doesn't look very kid like to me anymore.
Matt: We're just two old friends hanging out for the day that's all.
Adam: Well bro, she's in there.
Matt: Thanks. (walks over to the door and knocks) Kat?
Kat: Come in.
Matt: (walks in and finds her sitting cross legged on the bed with papers scattered around guitar in hand) Hey woman.
Kat: Oh my god Matt! It's noon already? (starts to franticly run her fingers through her hair trying to fix it)
Matt: Yep (looks at her in a pair of grey skater pants and a black wife beater) Don't worry you look fine.
Kat: (blushes) Sorry, I start to play and I just loose track of time sometimes.
Matt: Sounds like Jeff (sounding almost disappointed) I'll never understand it.
Kat: Come here (pats the bed by her) Let me show you.
Matt: Ok (sits on the bed and Kat puts the guitar in Matt's hands gets off the bed and kneels in front of him and moves his fingers to a position to play a cord and puts the pick in his hand and motions for him to strum and he does and it comes out sort of muffled and she moves his fingers to another cord position and Matt strums the guitar again Matt looks from at the end of the guitar to down at Kat and stops at her eyes and she goes to move his fingers again and when she moves his hand their fingers interlock they both look at their hands and quickly let go and Matt almost shoves the guitar back to Kat.) I think I'll just leave the guitar playing to you and Jeff.
Kat: (gets up) Yeah, um we better get going lot's of shopping to do, come on.
Matt: Yeah.
Kat: (walks out to the other room) Wow Adam.
Adam: Yeah I know, I know I look like hell.
Kat: Well we'll see you later.
Adam: Ok have fun you too.
Matt: Let it go.
Adam: Ok ok!
Kat: (they leave) What was that all about?
Matt: No clue. So um, where would you like to go shopping?
Kat: Um, I guess Pac Sun.
Matt: Ok I like that store. (they head to the mall and they find the store)
Kat: Oh my god I could get in so much trouble in here.
Matt: See a lot of stuff you like?
Kat: Yeah pretty much the entire store.
Matt: So grab some stuff and try it on.
Kat: No, I am looking for bathing suits I don't need to spend money on clothes right now.
Matt: (reaches in his pocket and pulls out his wallet and pulls out his American Express Card and hands it to her) Here get whatever you want.
Kat: Matt, I'm not spending your money.
Matt: No, it's ok really.
Kat: Wow. I, I don't know what to say.
Matt: Consider it a welcome back present.
Kat: That's some present, are you sure?
Matt: I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't.
Kat: Oh my god (Hugs him) this is about the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me.
Matt: (Matt goes ridged and then takes his arm slowly and puts them around her) Um, your welcome.
Kat: (she walks through the store to where the bathing suits are and grabs some and goes in to the dressing room) Um I think I've found one but I don't know is this diva worthy? (she walks out in a light blue and white Hawaiian print string bikini)
Matt: (Matt's jaw drops and his eyes go wide and he inadvertently holds his breath) Wow.I.um.
Kat: Oh, is it that bad?
Matt: (blushes) No, it's...it's um that good.
Kat: (blushes) Thanks.I'm gonna go find another one now.
Trish: (she can't see Kat because she is standing in the dressing room.) Hey Matt hey Ames.Kat, what are you doing here? With him?
Kat: Well I'm doing the photo shoot with you guys tomorrow and Matt and I had plans to hang out to catch up on old times and I needed stuff to wear for tomorrow and so I had to drag him with me.
Trish: Hey Kevin over here!
Kevin: Hey Matt. Kathryn! What the hell are you doing in that?
Kat: Hi Kevin, err dad, I guess I forgot to tell you that Vince asked me to do the photo shoot tomorrow and he may want to use me as a diva.
Kevin: You aren't doing any photo shoot especially in that.
Kat: Dad!
Kevin: Mathew what do you think?
Matt: (he and Kat are now blushing profusely because of what had happened a few minutes earlier) I, I think it's up to her, I mean, she's the one who had to wear it.
Trish: And babe that's just like the one you made me buy for the last shoot.
Matt and Kat: Kevin!
Kevin: On second thought you look really pretty honey and have fun, I need to go now.
Trish: See you later guys. (looks at Matt) Behave!
Kat: (finds another two bathing suits and quite a few outfits and runs up quite a big tab on Matt's credit card) Thanks so much for this Matt.
Matt: It's not a problem. I'm sure you'll find some way to repay me (Kat blushes) I mean.wow that came out so wrong.
Kat: It's ok.
Anyway on we go.
Kevin: What? I thought you just said you liked her and you wanted me to be happy and she makes me happy, really happy and
Kat: I was referring to living arrangements.because I am obviously not staying with you two, considering what I just witnessed. You two are staying in the same hotel room aren't you?
Kevin: (blushes) Yeah.
Kat: Don't worry about it I think I can find a place to crash at least for tonight. Then I can get my own room.

Kevin: WHAT! Oh no I know you're just trying to freak me out. Who is she seriously?
Kat: Oh, she's um, Adam's friend yeah, from Canada.
Kevin: Oh ok, no can we please finish dinner now?
(They finish dinner and Kat calls Mikhaila's room from the lobby)
Mikhaila: Hello?
Kat: Mikhaila? Is that you? This is Kat.
Mikhaila: Oh hey Kat. What's up?

Kat: (looks at Adam) Probably a good idea. I'll see ya later. (heads off)
Mikhaila: Alright Adam, into the elevator. Jay, where's your room?
Adam: (standing in the elevator, his balance is knocked when the elevator starts moving and he tips sideways. Mikhaila and Jay catch him from falling. His head lolls to the side) Mik, you've got a nice ass.
Jay: Adam.(busts out laughing)

Jay: Alright. (confused)
Mikhaila: My father is Vince McMahon.
Jay: (laughs) Right. And I'm the Queen Mum.
Mikhaila: (smirks) Nice to meet you your majesty.
Jay: (raises eyebrow) You're shitting me, right?
Mikhaila: You know, I've never quite gotten that expression, but no, I'm not shitting you.
Jay: (wide eyed) But how.who.what?
Mikhaila: (sighs) Alright. Vince was thinking about divorcing Linda a long ass time ago, so they separated. He came to Chicago, where he met my mom. He was gonna stay with my mom but found out Linda was pregnant, so my mom sent him away to her, knowing he wanted to be with his kids. So time goes on and they keep meeting when he's in Chicago. She gets pregnant one of those time, but instead of telling him, runs away, cutting off contact. Blink ahead 24 years. Mom dies, hands me an envelope as she dies, and tells me that the answer's in the envelope. And here I am.
Jay: You're shitting me right?
Mikhaila: Nope. And here's the best part: Stephanie and Shane know, and they'll probably take my head off next time they see me. (sighs) You know that expression when it rains it pours?
Jay: Yeah.
Mikhaila: Well there's a flood warning in my area right now due to constant monsoon rains.
Jay: (nods) Oh yeah.
Mikhaila: You know, every pun intended, but stand back, there's a Hurricane a comin.
Jay: (laughs) You've got a weird sense of humor. Your mom's side?
Mikhaila: (nods) But apparently I get some of my looks and my sarcasm and temper from my dad.
Jay: (looks at her) Yeah, I can see the looks thing.
Mikhaila: (yawns) Well, night.
Jay: (confused) What the hell are you doing?
Mikhaila: (throws a blanket over herself) Going to sleep.
Jay: In here?
Mikhaila: (nods) I wanna be here in the morning when Sleeping Beauty wakes up. I got him drunk. It's my responsibility to take care of him. (closes her eyes)
Jay: Whatever. (goes to sleep)
Adam: (wakes up in the morning with a severe headache and a need to puke. Runs to the bathroom, crashing into the wall and waking Mikhaila up) Oh god. Not feeling good.
Mikhaila: (opening one eye) What the hell.oh, I'm in their room. Adam, what'd you do? (hears him fall down in the bathroom) Shit! (runs and holds his head over the toilet and holds his hair back) Adam, you're an idiot.
Adam: (grabs his toothbrush and toothpaste, turning red) Thanks, but what are you doing here?
Mikhaila: I told Jay everything last night after we got you up here and I figured I'd just crash on your couch. You've got a nice couch by the way.
Adam: (closes his eyes) Turn off the lights. Please, no lights.
Mikhaila: You don't have anything to do for work today do you?
Adam: (shakes his head) Well, now that you mention it, I've gotta go to a signing this afternoon. Good thing my character wears sunglasses.
Mikhaila: Then we'd better get you sobered up real quick. (searches through his bag) You've gotta have some form of aspirin in here. (looks around)
Adam: Actually, I'm allergic to the stuff.
Mikhaila: Well, grab what you need for later. You're coming to my room. I've got damn near everything in there.
Adam: (shrugs) Whatever. Just so long as I can be out in public by..well, seven hours from now.
Mikhaila: (looks at him as they walk out the door) Why in god's name did you agree to drink with me last night?
Adam: (walking down the hall with her) I have no damn idea. And why aren't you as miserable as I am.
Mikhaila: I went to college. I learned real quick to hold my liquor.
Adam: Ah. (nods then holds his head) Not good idea to nod. Let's just lay down now. Not wanting to move.
Mikhaila: Well, one elevator trip left. (gets in the elevator and on the way up remembers what he said last night and laughs)
Adam: What?
Mikhaila: Do you even remember what you said last night?
Adam: (thinks) At what point?
Mikhaila: The elevator.
Adam: (thinks back and goes wide eyed, looking at her) Uh oh.
Mikhaila: (nods) Yeah.
Adam: (turns red) Oh man. I've made a complete ass of myself. Shit!
Mikhaila: It's fine. I've done this before, unfortunately. In college, you learn a lot of shit, including how to cure a hangover in time for an exam. Or, in your case, a public appearance. (opens her door) Come on. Lay down on the couch. I'll find some sort painkillers. Aleve work?
Adam: (nods and lays down) Oh god, what's that noise?
Mikhaila: Sounds like Kat's playing a guitar.
Adam: (closes his eyes and puts pillows over his ears) Make it stop! Please make it stop!!
Mikhaila: (shouts) Hey Kat, can you cut the guitar for a while?
Adam: MIK! STOP SHOUTING!
Mikhaila: Sorry! (hears the guitar stop) Well, it worked. (walks over with water and Aleve) Here's the Aleve. I'll have room service send some food up.
Adam: I don't want to see anything resembling food. I just saw it in the toilet thank you very much.
Mikhaila: (chuckling) Lots of bread. It'll soak up the alcohol. That way you'll sober up faster. I think.
Adam: (groans) Whatever you say. Just please make sure I can be in public today, or your dad'll fire me.
Mikhaila: No he won't. (hears a knock at the door)
Adam: Aw man! My head's pounding so bad I can hear it!
Mikhaila: No dear, that's the door. Someone's knocking.
Adam: Why does everyone insist on torturing me now?
Mikhaila: (walking to answer the door) Cause you're so damn entertaining when you're hung over. (opens the door) Hey Matt. Come on in! (shouts) Hey Kat! It's Matt!! Get your ass out here!
Adam: MIK! THE SHOUTING!
Mikhaila: Sorry again! I'm gonna call for that food.
Matt: (looking at Adam on the couch) Do I even need to ask?
Adam: Add whiskey to the list of things I'll never drink again.
Matt: You look like hell.
Adam: You don't look so bad yourself.
Matt: (shakes his head) Good god man. And you've got a signing tonight don't you?
Adam: Yeah. So right now I've got.oh.7 hours to sober up enough to be in public.
Matt: And you ended up here how?
Adam: Another long story.
Matt: Right. And on that note.I have plans with Kat so I'll see you later.
Adam: (raises eye brow) Plans with Kat huh?
Matt: Dude it's not like that. I'm with Amy and I have been for a long time you know that, besides Kat's just a kid.
Adam: I don't know man, she doesn't look very kid like to me anymore.
Matt: We're just two old friends hanging out for the day that's all.
Adam: Well bro, she's in there.
Matt: Thanks. (walks over to the door and knocks) Kat?
Kat: Come in.
Matt: (walks in and finds her sitting cross legged on the bed with papers scattered around guitar in hand) Hey woman.
Kat: Oh my god Matt! It's noon already? (starts to franticly run her fingers through her hair trying to fix it)
Matt: Yep (looks at her in a pair of grey skater pants and a black wife beater) Don't worry you look fine.
Kat: (blushes) Sorry, I start to play and I just loose track of time sometimes.
Matt: Sounds like Jeff (sounding almost disappointed) I'll never understand it.
Kat: Come here (pats the bed by her) Let me show you.
Matt: Ok (sits on the bed and Kat puts the guitar in Matt's hands gets off the bed and kneels in front of him and moves his fingers to a position to play a cord and puts the pick in his hand and motions for him to strum and he does and it comes out sort of muffled and she moves his fingers to another cord position and Matt strums the guitar again Matt looks from at the end of the guitar to down at Kat and stops at her eyes and she goes to move his fingers again and when she moves his hand their fingers interlock they both look at their hands and quickly let go and Matt almost shoves the guitar back to Kat.) I think I'll just leave the guitar playing to you and Jeff.
Kat: (gets up) Yeah, um we better get going lot's of shopping to do, come on.
Matt: Yeah.
Kat: (walks out to the other room) Wow Adam.
Adam: Yeah I know, I know I look like hell.
Kat: Well we'll see you later.
Adam: Ok have fun you too.
Matt: Let it go.
Adam: Ok ok!
Kat: (they leave) What was that all about?
Matt: No clue. So um, where would you like to go shopping?
Kat: Um, I guess Pac Sun.
Matt: Ok I like that store. (they head to the mall and they find the store)
Kat: Oh my god I could get in so much trouble in here.
Matt: See a lot of stuff you like?
Kat: Yeah pretty much the entire store.
Matt: So grab some stuff and try it on.
Kat: No, I am looking for bathing suits I don't need to spend money on clothes right now.
Matt: (reaches in his pocket and pulls out his wallet and pulls out his American Express Card and hands it to her) Here get whatever you want.
Kat: Matt, I'm not spending your money.
Matt: No, it's ok really.
Kat: Wow. I, I don't know what to say.
Matt: Consider it a welcome back present.
Kat: That's some present, are you sure?
Matt: I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't.
Kat: Oh my god (Hugs him) this is about the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me.
Matt: (Matt goes ridged and then takes his arm slowly and puts them around her) Um, your welcome.
Kat: (she walks through the store to where the bathing suits are and grabs some and goes in to the dressing room) Um I think I've found one but I don't know is this diva worthy? (she walks out in a light blue and white Hawaiian print string bikini)
Matt: (Matt's jaw drops and his eyes go wide and he inadvertently holds his breath) Wow.I.um.
Kat: Oh, is it that bad?
Matt: (blushes) No, it's...it's um that good.
Kat: (blushes) Thanks.I'm gonna go find another one now.
Trish: (she can't see Kat because she is standing in the dressing room.) Hey Matt hey Ames.Kat, what are you doing here? With him?
Kat: Well I'm doing the photo shoot with you guys tomorrow and Matt and I had plans to hang out to catch up on old times and I needed stuff to wear for tomorrow and so I had to drag him with me.
Trish: Hey Kevin over here!
Kevin: Hey Matt. Kathryn! What the hell are you doing in that?
Kat: Hi Kevin, err dad, I guess I forgot to tell you that Vince asked me to do the photo shoot tomorrow and he may want to use me as a diva.
Kevin: You aren't doing any photo shoot especially in that.
Kat: Dad!
Kevin: Mathew what do you think?
Matt: (he and Kat are now blushing profusely because of what had happened a few minutes earlier) I, I think it's up to her, I mean, she's the one who had to wear it.
Trish: And babe that's just like the one you made me buy for the last shoot.
Matt and Kat: Kevin!
Kevin: On second thought you look really pretty honey and have fun, I need to go now.
Trish: See you later guys. (looks at Matt) Behave!
Kat: (finds another two bathing suits and quite a few outfits and runs up quite a big tab on Matt's credit card) Thanks so much for this Matt.
Matt: It's not a problem. I'm sure you'll find some way to repay me (Kat blushes) I mean.wow that came out so wrong.
Kat: It's ok.
