Tommy sat on his bed with his best freind, Chuckie next to him. They both frantically pressed buttons as they played on Tommys Playstation 2.

"Take that you bastard" said Tommy as the fighter he controlled knocked out Chuckies

"How did you do that?"

"Skill my freind, skill"

"You just pressed as many buttons as you could"

"Well you did to. I'm just better at it"

"Ah shut up" said Chuckie throwing the controller to the floor

"Hey! Delicate equipment"

"It's my controller man"

"You coulda broke the PS2"

"Your way to protective over it"

"It cost me over $200 why shouldn't I be protective over it"

Chuckie shook his head and took a look at his watch.

"Shit sorry Tommy I was meant to be home like half an hour ago. See ya"

"K see ya man" Tommy stared at his TV screen for a while "HEY DIL!"

"Yeah whats up bro?" he said sticking his head round the door

"Get your ass over here, Chuckie forgot his controller"

"Sweet" shouted Dil jumping over Tommys bed and landing next to him, he picked up the controller and began to play with Tommy.

An hour or so later their dinner was ready and they went downstairs to eat.

"You boys looking forward to tommorrow?" asked Didi placing the plates infront of her sons.

"Definatly, it's gonna be great"

"Yeah this could make us famous"

"Well I don't wanna put you guys down. But maybe you shouldn't get your hopes up so much" said Stu

"Well we're not expecting some major label to sign us or anything. Just maybe a few paid gigs" said Tommy

"We've had paid gigs before though"

"Yeah, but we didn't get much money from any of them"

Dil nodded in agreement as he took a fork full of his dinner

"Hey this is good mom" he said before taking another fork full

"Thank you Dil"

"What is it?" asked Tommy also taking a mouth full

"Boeuf Bourguignon"

"And that is?"

Didi sighed "A french dish, Beef cooked in a red wine sauce"

"Mmm alcohol" said Dil which made Tommy and Stu laugh

"Theres not enough to get drunk on Dil so don't get your hopes up" said Didi, smiling

They continued chatting about what has been planned for summer

"Well I supose we'll be getting jobs again" said Dil rather depressed

"Hey at least you get to work at the Java Lava" said Tommy

"Well you get to work with Phil at the 7-11"

"Only on a monday, besides you get to work with Chuckie and Kimi"

"Not anymore"

"What do you mean?"

"Kimi got a better job"

"Were?"

"At the jewelry store, the Johnsons own it"

"Oh I know were that is. How'd you find out before me?"

"She came in earlier today and 'handed in her notice'."

Before Tommy could ask anymore the phone rang. Didi wiped her mouth with her napkin and got up to answer it.

"Hello?....Oh hi....yes he's here." she put her hand against the mouthpiece "Tommy, Kimi for you"

He jumped up and smiled

"I'll take it upstairs" he said rushing up the stairs.

Didi waited until she heard Tommy pick up then hung up

===Upstairs===

Tommy dove on to his bed, picking up the phone on the way and answering

"Hey Kimi"

"Hey baby how are you?"

"I'm cool what about you?"

"I'm feeling good, tired but good"

"Hey congrats for your new job"

"WHO TOLD YOU!"

"Hey calm down"

"Sorry, I wanted to suprise you with some cheap jewelry"

"Aww thanks, I'm not really a jewelry person though"

"Yeah I know, but if it's cheap then you could be"

"I supose, so why the change, other than the cheap jewelry?"

"To be honest, I had enough of Chuckie and Lil. I mean I get to see it all at school, at home and at work"

"Well he must of felt the same way about us"

"I don't think so, well not after the Megan thing"

"Yeah"

"Anyway, I called up to see when you are going to the studio tomorrow"

"You better ask Chuck he's driving"

"I would, but he's at work. Don't you have some idea?"

"Well we're supost to get there for noon so sometime before that"

"So we could go out tonight and still have a lie in?"

A smile krept on to Tommys face. "What do you have planned Kimi?"

"Well my dad and Chuckie are at work and Mom is visiting relatives, so if you wanna come over..."

Tommy quickly interupted her "I'll be there asap"

Kimi kissed down the phone "Buh bye"

"See ya in a minute" said Tommy as he hung up and picked up a coat on his chair.

He slid down the stairs and jumped into his shoes

"Bye mom, bye dad"

"Were you going?"

"Gonna see Kimi, don't wait up"

"But you havn't finished your dinner" shouted Didi in vain, as her son was already gone

"Oh well more for me" said Dil pulling Tommys plate

Tommy ran over to Kimis home as fast as he could and for good reason. When the door opened Kimi jumped out the door wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Wow now that's a welcome. What would you have done if it wasn't me?"

"Probably die of embarassment"

Tommy laughed before being dragged into the house by Kimi

"So what you got planned for me then?" he asked

"Nothing special, just have a few drinks and watch TV"

"By a few drinks what do you mean?"

"There is some beer in the fridge, mom and dad said I could have a few"

"Sweet" Tommy was straight into the fridge and pulling out a few brews

"So the beer is more important than me?" said Kimi standing at the door of the kithen

Tommy simply nodded as he began to drink out of one of the cans. Kimi shook her head, took a can out of his hand and bumped him. He smiled at her before kissing her head and she jumped up onto the table top

"Good beer"

"Yeah dad has good taste"

"So let's watch TV"

"Yay" she said jumping down from the table, taking his hand and leading him into the living room.

They slumped down on to the sofa and fought over the remote

"Hey give it this is my house"

"Yeah, but I'm the guest. Last time I was here your dad said I could choose"

"Well he ain't here"

"So I'm still stronger" he said sticking out his tongue

At that Kimi reached out and grabbed his tongue, between her thumb and forfinger.

"Mmmmph"

"Now who is stronger" said Kimi smiling smuggly

"Mou are! Mou are!"

She let go and took the TV remote from Tommy and began to flick through the channels.

"That hurt you know"

"Well duh. That was the idea"

"Just don't take to long flicking through the channels"

"I'll take as long as I take Thomas"

"Can I get some more beer then?"

"Yeah ok"

Tommy got up and headed into the kitchen. At that Kimi lay back and took up the whole sofa. She picked up her beer and took another drink. When Tommy came back in he saw Kimi lying on the sofa and sighed

"Come on Kimi let me sit down"

"Sit over there" she pointed over to a chair on the other side of the room

"Fine, you asked for it" he said walking over to her and sat on her

"OOOF! Get off me"

"Well I need a seat so if you get up I'll get off"

"I can't get up if you don't get off"

"Then I can't help you"

"TOMMY!"

"Ok ok I'm getting up"

As Tommy got up, Kimi sat up and punched Tommy in the ribs. He smiled at her before leaning over to kiss her, but Kimi pushed him away

"What is it?"

"I just got a bad feeling"

"Huh?"

"I dunno I just had this feeling something bad is about to happen."

==== Pickles home ====

Dil was sat at the dinner table by himself finishing Tommys dinner when the phone rang. He got up and answered it, but wasn't prepaired for what he was about to hear.
