AN: I'm sorry that this took so long-stupid final exams.

But just so you're not too disappointed with the little filler part, I will promise even more major shit happening (see bottom for details.)

Hey- and thanks to every one who reviewed! Two pages (this is a record for me)! YAY!

Mimi stormed into the bathroom, feeling like shit. Nah-make that lower than shit. Which was strange, because she and Roger had pretty much fucked the whole night. Sex usually made Mimi feel a lot better the next morning. Her T-Cells had better not be low.

She opened the medicine cabinet to pop her pills. I gotta piss.

Mimi threw on her bathrobe after she finished. "I want eggs." That was weird, cause she never thought aloud to herself. "Roger! Breakfast!"

She didn't notice that she had missed her period.

"Mark, you're gonna be late!" Tara tried to push him away from her. Which was tough, because Mark had already backed Tara up against the wall.

"Hell, I'll just tell them the train was full. Come on- one for the road."

Tara kissed him, for the fiftieth time, at least for her. "Happy now? Get going."

"I'll see you when I get home." He kissed her yet again, and then he left.

Tara flopped back down on her couch. God, he was crazy about her. Why Mark even left her was a mystery to Tara. Oh yeah. Maureen.

She looked at the calendar on the home. August 14. "It's been two months already!" Holy shit. It seemed a whole lot longer, especially with the break-up and everything.

Not mention her birthday was in a week. "It goes by way too fast," she muttered.

"What is their deal?" Maureen asked.

Mimi sighed. Why did she take a sick day? Stripping didn't require that she be perfectly healthy. "You mean Mark and Tara?"

"Didn't she just move in? And now he's like, whipped or something. I mean, at least we didn't fuck around every second."

"Gee, I wonder why." Although Mimi generally liked the girl, and was pretty good friends with her, she really, really didn't want to deal with Maureen. Especially like this.

"Dave, what do you mean, you haven't told him yet? It's next week." The door shut.

"Well, I don't know how to spring it on him, all right?"

Mimi and Maureen went out to the living room. "What's next week?" Mimi asked.

"Our birthday. Twenty-fifth." Dave smiled a little, and then sighed. "But we haven't mentioned it to anyone."

"I keep telling him that he should tell one of you guys 'cause, you know, the whole twin thing, but-"

"Oh shut up. You could tell Mark whenever you want. If you just kept him off of you."

Maureen tried smile at her. "Well. I have to practice- I'll see you all later."

"Stay for lunch, at least, Mo. It's from this great little Thai place Tom and I ordered from once."

"No, I'm not really that hungry. I'll go."

Tara watched her go out. "What is her problem?"

Mimi stretched. "I don't know. Come on, I'm starving."

Dave held Tara back. "Look, I don't know why anyone hasn't told you yet, but Maureen wasn't happy when she heard 'bout you and Mark."

"Because of…what's her name? Josie?"

"Joanne. I think that's way she doesn't like you."

Tara looked back at the closed door and then at her brother. "She hates me because Mark's my boyfriend? God, she needs to get over him. It's been, what two? Three years?"

"Look, just don't say it to her face, 'kay?"

"Hey!" Mimi stood at the kitchen door. "Where's lunch? I'm really craving something here."

"Yeah, we're coming."

PS: Okay, the mini spoilers I promised:

I think you know what Mimi's thing is. BUT a very important relative will come into her and Roger's life! Maureen and Tara, as we all know, have been teetering on the edge. But this little fact gets pushed even further when Mark decides to make a big step in his relationship. A flashback to film school days! And special guest appearances by old favorites and No Vacancy (that one's for u BohiemianCane!)
