Author's Note: Okay, just want to say that on my profile page, I started having an Update Column and New Projects thing. I'll be updating as I finish a chapter/start story/finish story. I promise! So, check there to see how I'm doing on stories.
A Half Hour or so Later
"Okay, so where are we going?" Ashley asked slightly suspiciously.
"Why, my home, of course." Carlos asked, sounding hurt. "Celebration, remember?"
"Oh yes," Ashley said, rolling her eyes. "How could I forget the words of the mighty Carlos Valertes? I must bow down in reverence and shame for forgetting. Must bow…" Bending over in an exaggeratingly slow motion, Ashley lifted her arms, bending low at then waist in a deep bow.
"Yes," Cassie intoned, adding to the performance. "Bow before the mighty Carlo'" Then, she too, bowed down, the two girls reflecting each other's movement.
Laughing, T.J pulled the two girls up. "Come on, do you really think that Carlos deserves to be bowed to?"
Smirking slightly, Cassie replied, "It's called sarcasm. And Ashley started it."
"Hey! Since when was I the dopey one that gives undeserved attention to Carlos?"
"Undeserved! You stab me!"
"That's Zhane's line, copycat."
"Still stabbed…"
"Goo!"
"That's right, Lillian. Defend Dada."
"Goo!"
Several laughs and One Car Ride Later
"Okay," Ashley declared. "We're here, we came, so where's the celebration?"
"Well, there's not much décor to put up in the first place, we have games… somewhere around here, and there's food." Andrea hung her coat up and set Lillian in a high chair. "Oh, and Ashley, Cassie?" At their acknowledging nod, Andrea continued, "We bought ingredients and food, you can go ahead and cook whatever you want."
"Oh, yes!" Ashley exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air. "Yes, Cassie and I, your chefs!"
"Whatever happened to T.J, famous Angel Grove chef?" Cassie added, while shifting through some bags of food.
"He disappeared because two people named Ashley and Cassie have better recipes that produce food tastes better." T.J retorted as he pulled some board games out of a cabinet.
"Why thank you." Cassie retorted sweetly, tossing her hair and flashing a seductive smile around the room. "I worked hard on them."
"You worked hard on them?" Ashley commented, folding her arms and peering curiously at her underneath lowered lashes, one corner of her lips tugged upwards in a flirtatious smirk. "If I remember correctly, I came up with "Promise Me" and the idea for "Just Humans"."
"Who wrote "My Dream World"? Who actually wrote "Just Humans"? Me, I believe." Cassie retorted, dropping the seductress act and crossing her arms and smirking at her, obviously believing that she had outdone her best friend.
"Who sang backup, dueted with you, and suggested Kim to play the guitar when your guitarist and drummer were sick." Ashley said calmly, a self-satisfactory smile on her face.
"We're hungry!" T.J injected loudly, severing any catfight that could have been brewing.
Glancing at each other, Cassie and Ashley shared a grin… before launching themselves at T.J, laughing as they latched onto him.
"Get off!"
"Never!"
"Ow!"
"Serves you right!"
"You're supposed to be the chef!"
"OW!"
"Don't be a baby!"
"Think of it as training!"
"LET GO OF ME!"
"Come on guys, let go already."
Giggling like mad, the two girls in yellow and pink let go of the frazzled man in blue and red. Silence reigned over the loft for a while, interrupted only by soft sucking sounds of baby Lillian, until…
"So…You guys going to cook… No wait! It was a joke! Let go! Help!"
"Tsk, tsk, must you learn the hard way, Carlos?"
Author's Note 2: Okay, if anyone finds a song called "My Dream World", e-mails me that they found it, along with the singer and a place where I can find the lyrics, just to prove you didn't make it up on your own, I will e-mail you the next chapter of "Life Is" or the first chapter/prologue of any of my other works. Okay? Start searching!
RR! Ashley Hammond/Astro Yellow, yay! You got another chapter of "Make A Wish" out, and you reviewed! Yay! Thanks for the feedback... in the next chapter, Ashley finally really meets Andros... but you, again, didn't really need to know that. Anyway, thanks again for doing my little survey. Okay ,that survey was kinda pointless, since I came up with my Light Warriors on my own, but, you were only two off! Thanks, again, for the second chapter of "MAW" (I'm going to call it that from now on, okay?). Check out my profile page for updates. I'll keep writing! Search for that song!
