Chapter 8: A New Face

Shayna was walking outside when she saw someone going up to the door.

"SHAYNA!" Misty yelled.

Shayna came running in from the outside and ran towards the kitchen.

"What Misty?" Shayna asked out of breath.

"Look." Misty said pointing to Christine who was unguarded. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

"If you're thinking we should take Christine and taunt Jesse with it then yeah I'd say I'm thinking what you're thinking." Shayna said with a devilish smirk on her face.

Jesse came back in and saw that Christine was 'missing'.

"Where is she?" Jesse asked looking around.

"Where is who?" The guy asked.

"Christine, She's gone. I don't see her." Jesse said searching the kitchen frantically.

"Who is Christine, a better question, what is Christine?" The guy asked.

"She's a very caring person, but everyone else calls her a waffle iron." Jesse said still searching.

"A waffle iron? God, Jesse. I never thought you'd bring the waffle iron with you." The guy said.

"Look, Ryan, I didn't bring that one with me. I found a new one. The one back home didn't have a name." Jesse said.

"Well, maybe someone took it, er, her." Ryan said.

Jesse's head shot up. "Shayna." He said.

"Who?" Ryan asked.

"This girl who can't stand me. Well, at least I think she can't stand me. I don't know but she pulls pranks on me all the time and I'm determined to get back at her but everytime I think of something great she thinks of something better and gets me before I get her." Jesse said.

"Wow, she's good." Ryan said.

"Come on, we're going to go find, Miss Shayna." Jesse said walking out of the kitchen.

Ryan followed closely to his friend.

They went upstairs to Shayna's room to find Misty and Bryan.

"Alright, where is she? I know you're in cahoots with her!" Jesse said pointing an accusing finger.

"Who uses in cahoots?" Misty asked.

"Who is it that you are searching for?" Bryan asked.

"SHAYNA! WHERE ARE YOU?" Jesse screamed.

"Oh you're looking for Shayna? Why?" Misty asked.

"She stole Christine." Jesse said.

"Are you sure? Did you check everywhere? And I mean everywhere." Misty said.

"Yes, I've checked everywhere." Jesse said.

"No you didn't, you checked everywhere in the kitchen." Ryan said.

"Shut up, Ryan." Jesse said.

Ryan turned his head and whistled.

"Why don't you just go around the whole mansion and look it for it? Shayna probably hid it somewhere. Plus she's not home, she went out with Piotr." Misty said.

"She's what?" Jesse asked.

"Out with Piotr." Misty said.

"So he finally asked her out." Jesse said.

"Yeah, uhm, aren't you supposed to be looking for someth, er, someone?" Misty asked.

"Oh." Jesse said snapping his fingers. "Christine! I'm coming!"

Jesse ran out of the room and searched everywhere. Ryan casually walked out of the room and Jesse pulled him down the hallway. They searched all day for Christine but no luck. Finally they went to Jesse's room. Jesse sat on his bed and Ryan sat in a chair.

"I can't find her anywhere." Jesse said.

"What's that?" Ryan asked pointing to Jesse's side.

Jesse turned his head and saw Christine right there.

"Christine!" He said picking up the waffle iron and hugging it. "What's this?" He asked picking off the note that was attached to his love.

"It looks like a piece of paper with writing on it." Ryan said.

"No, really? 'You should never leave anything you love laying around. Someone could take it.'" Jesse said.

"There's something on the back." Ryan said.

Jesse flipped it over. "Love, Shayna." Jesse read.

Ryan began chuckling.

"Shut up, Ryan." Jesse said. "I'm just so glad that she's back." Jesse kept hugging Christine.

"Okay, this is worse than what happened back home." Ryan said.

"What are you talking about? The one back home doesn't even come close to Christine." Jesse said continuing to hug the waffle iron.

"Whatever you say Jesse." Ryan said dropping the subject.

Shayna and Piotr walked through the door to the foyer. Misty was walking to the kitchen when she spotted Shayna closing the door. She walked over to the couple and said,

"Jesse noticed that Christine was missing." Misty said chuckling.

"What did he do? I'm so mad that I missed it but I can live. Just tell me what happened." Shayna said.

"Well, from what his friend told me, they searched the kitchen and came to our room. There he quizzed me and Bryan on where you were and where you hid the waffle iron. I said that you weren't here and you'd be back later and he could ask you then. Well he wouldn't take that, so I said have you searched everywhere and he said no so they went and searched the whole entire mansion and they went to Jesse's room. Jesse was all depressed and convinced that you had taken Christine to a chop shop or something. Then his friend was like what's that? And pointed to Christine then Jesse was hugging it and his friend pointed out the note you left and Jesse read it front and back and he was like Grrrr. Then he started hugging it again." Misty said without breathing.

Shayna stood there laughing and Piotr was clueless.

"I'm not going to ask." He said. "Well, I'm going to get a shower and then I'll meet you guys in the living room."

"Okay, have fun, and smell good later." Shayna said giving him a hug.

Piotr walked away to his room. Misty and Shayna walked to their room. Shayna was searching through her movies trying to find the one she wanted to watch. She found the one she wanted.

"Hey, Misty. Do you like the Breakfast Club?" Shayna asked.

"Yes." Misty answered.

"Does Bryan?" Shayna asked.

"Yes." Misty answered.

"Okay, cause that's what we're watching." Shayna said grabbing the DVD.

"Cool, Judd Nelson isn't that bad looking." Misty said.

"No he is not that bad. So who's Jesse's friend?" Shayna asked.

"His name's Ryan something. It's French, he's French, well Cajun French, but still it's French." Misty said.

"Oh, is he still here?" Shayna asked.

"Yeah, he's living here now." Misty said.

"Oh, that's nice Jesse has a friend now." Shayna said.

Her and Misty left the room and went to the living room. They walked in and Shayna turned on the lights. Misty turned on the T.V. and the DVD player. Shayna sat down in front of the player. She opened it, stuck the DVD in and shut the thing. Her and Misty sat on the couch and watched the menu five times. Piotr came in and sat next to Shayna. Then Bryan came in with popcorn and four bowls of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. Shayna pushed play and they sat there. About half way through the movie Jesse and Ryan came in.

"Mind if we have a seat?" Jesse asked.

"Go ahead." Misty said and poked Shayna in the side.

Shayna looked at her and watched her eyes. They lead to Jesse's side and arms. Shayna looked and noticed that Christine was not there.

"So, Jesse, where's Christine?" Shayna asked.

"Oh I put her back in the kitchen. She belongs there not with me." Jesse said.

"Did she break up with you?" Misty asked smiling.

"No, I put her back because it would have never worked out between us." Jesse said.

Ryan laughed. Jesse looked at him.

"Shut up Ryan!" Jesse screamed. "Oh, I don't think you two have met Ryan. Ryan that's Shayna and Piotr; Shayna and Piotr, that's Ryan."

"Nice to meet you Ryan." Shayna said smiling at him.

"Nice to meet you." Piotr said.

"Nice to meet you both. By the way, what are you guys watching?" Ryan asked.

"The Breakfast Club." Shayna said finishing her ice cream and heading towards the popcorn.

"I'm hungry." Shayna said.

"You're not pregnant are you?" Jesse asked.

"EW! Bobby knocked you up!" Bryan screamed popcorn spewing from his mouth.

Shayna looked at Bryan. "Bryan, me and Bobby have been broken up for 2 and half to three months now. You could tell if was pregnant." Shayna said.

"Well I was just wondering." Bryan said.

"You wonder why I always go to Piotr's room don't ya?" Shayna said smirking.

Piotr's eyes got wide.

"So Piotr knocked you up?" Bryan asked.

"No, I'm not pregnant. No one knocked me up." Shayna said eating the popcorn.

When the movie was over Shayna got up and took the DVD out of the player. Piotr handed her the case and Shayna put the DVD back in it. Bryan grabbed the remote and started flipping through the channels at light speed. Misty sat there, off. She grabbed the remote and started flipping through the channels.

Bryan stared at her. "What did you do that for?"

"I hate it when people flip through the channels at light speed. How do you possibly know what is on?" Misty said a little miffed.

"I can tell what's on. I've been trained." Bryan said.

"Oh yeah by the channel flippers association." Misty said settling on Comedy Central.

"Oh look! It's Dane Cook!" Shayna said pointing to the T.V.

"YAY!" Misty said.

"Christ Chex. It's a miracle in a bowl." Dane Cook said holding out his hands like he was holding a bowl.

They sat there and laughed for a half hour. Then nothing else good was on.

The next day, Misty and Shayna were walking around the mansion.

"You were eating a lot last night." Misty said.

"I was hungry. Did you ever have one of those days when you can eat anything in sight and still be hungry?" Shayna asked.

"Yeah, I hate that. I didn't want to eat but I was so hungry." Misty said.

"Ow!" Shayna said rubbing her head.

"What?" Misty asked.

"Someone through a rock at my head." Shayna said looking around for someone.

Misty was looking also and didn't see anyone. They turned around and looked at each other with confused faces.

"Sorry girls." A voice said from behind.
