Author's Note: SophIe! I was a little scared when I heard Wendy screamed, then I read it was excitement, and I was still scared cos I thought you might have been making Wendy masturbate ::shudders:: Thank God you weren't... or were you? ::shudders more::

Thanx for giving me my monkeys and Henry, they're slightly hung over, Henry actually vomited on my cat... just don't go there... okay.

So, next chapter, I call it 'Ye Morning After'... morning after what?... the kiss... ::acknowledges the fact and nods head::

-------Wendy--------

I awoke from sleep feeling refreshing, although trying to bring my dream into reality, the dream that involved me, Ace and the backseat of his car.

Swinging my legs out of bed, I looked in the mirror, my eye was still a purple-blue colour, but the swelling had gone down slightly.

I went into the bathroom and got ready for the day, which included, make- up, on my way back into the bedroom I noticed Hades trying to get out, I let him go and he almost fell down the stairs in his hurry to get to the kitchen.

I grabbed some black denim jeans and a white shirt, threw them on and floated down the stairs, surprisingly Rory wasn't awake yet, no sign of life except Hades and Tabatha. Rory was probably still in bed, leaving everything to the last minute, once again.

I feed Hades, and much to my disgust, I actually feed Tabatha too, since she was getting thin, and if I was going to mince her, she had to be nice and meaty. Either that or my happy mood and made me feel differently about a lot of things.

Looking at the clock I realised I had enough time to give Hades a walk, which turned into a run, since halfway through he began to case a squirrel. Once we got home I switched my sneakers for my black boots and opened the door ready to go to school, when a car pulled up and who other should step out but Ace and Eyeball.

Rory couldn't have set off then, she was still here, unless she walked, which was highly unlikely, she went to school in style. I looked at my reflection in a spoon (hey! We've all done it when we've been rushed for time... just me then? ... oh.) making sure I didn't have anything like grass in my hair or mud on my face, I didn't.

The knocks on the door came shortly after I had put the spoon back in the draw, I pulled down my shirt to rub out any creases, and opened the door.

"Hey Wendy." Eyeball greeted me, squeezing past and walked to the fridge, and to my astonishment got himself a beer. With his rudeness, I wasn't even going to bother giving him an 'hello'.

I looked back to the door and there he was, the guy I had dreamt about all last night, that smile still on his face, the memory of the kiss, the rush of it all just made me want to fall into his arms.

"Duck." He said giving me a nod.

I pulled away from the door and said "Hi."

He walked past and sauntered into the kitchen, sitting on the worktop.

"Eyeball should you really be drinking at this time of day?" I asked looking at the clock.

"Sorry mom." He shot back, talking like a child.

"I'll go and get Rory." I replied through gritted teeth, then turned and went up the stairs.

Knocking on the door I gently said, "Rory? Time for school."

"I don't want to go." Came my reply, she sounded upset, that kiss with Eyeball must have really screwed her up. I remembered how bad she had looked last night, how upset and hurt.

I stepped into the door and saw her curled up on her bed, "Wow, you look worse than you did last night." I said, trying to make peace or something close to it.

"The thing about being twins, Wendy, is that you can't insult me without insulting yourself."

I walked over and knelt down next to the bed and smiled at her last remark, "Well, I look bad too, look at my eye, I'm turning into a panda."

"How did it happen?"

"I got into a fight." I said, shrugging.

Her mouth dropped and she sat up, "No way."

I nodded my head.

"With who?"

"Doesn't matter. Why don't you want to go?" I said, changing the subject.

"I cheated on Ace." She sighed, collapsing back onto her bed.

"You mean that kiss with Eyeball? Does that really count? I thought you had to sleep with someone to cheat on someone else." I said not only to try and make Rory feel better, but also myself.

"You know?" Rory squeaked.

"I saw you guys, I don't think anybody else knows though, you secret's safe with me."

"Thanks." She said, getting out of bed.

"Welcome." I replied heading for the door. I noticed Rory wasn't going to get changed, "You going to go to school like that, all dishevelled?"

"The school can except me like Mother Nature does, I wasn't born beautiful." She explained.

"Okay, but you weren't born wearing clothes." I said smugly.

Rory gave me one of those annoyed looks, and I just had to laugh. We got to the bottom of the stairs and Rory looked very surprised to see two young (handsome, may I add?) men.

"Don't look to excited to see us, Rors, you might I've yourself a heart attack." Ace joked.

"I-I just didn't know you guys were h-hear, Wendy? Can I talk to you for a second."

Rory practically dragged me into the hall, "Why didn't you tell me they were here?" She asked after she'd spun me around to face her.

"Does it matter?"

"Yes, because now I have to get into a car with my boyfriend and the guy I'm cheating on him with."

"Oh, that's a toughie. 'Bye." Almost escaping.

"You have to help me." Rory said with pleading eyes.

"How?"

"Come with me. Please."

I thought I shouldn't have to, it would have been awkward for me too, but then again, something had happened between Ace and myself, so I gave in and all four of us got into Ace's car and went to school.

Most of the ride was silent, nobody knew what to say, and I just sat in the back with Rory, then turning because I felt her eyes on me. "What?"

"Who hit you?" She asked slyly.

"You're curiosity will kill you one day." I said turned to look at the school, noticing that we had just parked.

"Guys, do you know?" She asked turning towards Ace and Eyeball before climbing out of the car.

In return, they both shook their heads, Rory turned back to me, "Wendy?" She asked frustratingly, "If you don't tell me my curiosity will kill me, and you don't want your wonderful sister to go and die now do you?"

"It was just..." I looked at Ace, "It was just some dumb blonde." I almost laughed at his expression.

"Honestly?" Rory asked, smiling from ear to ear, probably thinking it was a cheerleader.

"Yeah."

"You get a good swing back?" Rory questioned.

Remembering the slap that I had given Ace I nodded. "But it wasn't that powerful, the dumb blonde was bigger than me."

"So it was a fat dumb blonde?" Rory asked, almost jumping up and down.

"I guess you could say that." I said laughing, glancing at Ace's still shocked expression.

Finally, after years of arguing, me and Rory actually had a civilised conversation, the only thing nagging at my mind was, is it going to last?
