Emma Gellar walked into her family's apartment in Greenwich Village. After a long hard day at school she fell onto the couch and flipped on the t.v.

"Emma? Is that you?" Rachel called from the kitchen.

"Yeah…" Emma took a deep breath. "Are you cooking?"

"Yeah… rice." Emma got up from the couch and placed the fire extinguisher next to her mom. "Ha, ha very funny. How was your day?"

"Good." It wasn't the best word to use. Her best friend Alexa asked Emma if she wanted to go drinking with her the next night with a group of friends. Emma's all-time crush Cameron was going to be there. "Where's Ben? Isn't he coming for dinner?"

Ben, now 24, was living in New Jersey and visited often to see his dad and stepsister again. Emma loved seeing him to… Emma's younger sister (Eryn, 14) didn't like it as much. Ben had gone through drug problems and she didn't respect him.

Emma didn't connect with her younger sister. She was the geek and Emma was the superstar. She was the most popular girl in school.

Eryn walks through the door. Her hair in a sleek bun, her books in front of her. She finishes her homework before getting ready for dinner.

Unlike Eryn, Emma does her makeup and pulls out her bobby pins. Emma grabbed the top half of her blonde hair and wrapped it in an elastic. The remaining hair she split in half vertically and wrapped the two end around the pony. Emma pinned her twisted pony to her head and looked over at her sister's bed.

"Aren't you getting ready?" Emma asked, slipping on her favorite top. "Ben will be here any minute."

"I am ready." Eryn poked her nose out of her math book. Emma, giving her an is-that-what-you-are-really-wearing look, ran out of the room to answer the buzzer.

"Hello!" She asked excitedly.

"Hey it's me." Ben answered. Emma buzzed him up and ran back into her room.

She grabbed her lip-gloss and smeared some on. "It's just going to wipe off." Eryn complained.

Emma looked at Eryn. "Why do you care?"

"Why do you care if I care?"

"I don't…" Emma said angrily.

"Then why did you ask?"

"Why do you care if I asked?"

"I don't!" Eryn screamed.

"Then why did you ask why I asked?" Emma was confusing herself.

"Because I did!" Eryn stood up and shoved Emma.

Emma ran into her and knocked her onto the bed. "EMMA!" Eryn screamed as Emma grabbed her hair.

Rachel ran in the room and pulled Emma off of Eryn. Eryn ran into the bathroom with a brush and a napkin. "What are you doing?"

"Eryn said there's no point of putting lip-gloss on and I said why do you care and she said why do you care if I care and I said I didn't and she said then why did you ask and then I said why do you care if I asked and she said she didn't and I said then why did you ask why I asked and she said she did and pushed me." Emma took a breath.

"She hit you first?" Emma nodded as she re-pinned her hair. "But you pushed her back?"

"Well… it was more of a poke and she fell over." Emma lied. She smiled innocently and then she heard the doorbell. She pushed back her mom and opened the door. She jumped onto Ben knocking a bag of presents to the floor.

"Hey Ben!" Ben looked at the bag on the floor. "Sorry…" Emma picked it up and pulled out her present. It was the pretty small one wrapped in pink She sat on the couch and greedily opened it.

Inside was a new iPod nano in pink. "Ben!" Emma ran up and gave him a hug. "I love it!"

At dinner the family sat down together. Ross was now there, back from the University. "Any plans Ben?"

"Well… I do have one." Emma stopped eating and looked across the table at Ben. "You know Libby… the girl I told you about? Well…she's going back to London." Libby had been seeing Ben for almost 4 months now. She lived in London and was temporarily living in New York.

"Aww… that sucks." Emma interrupted.

"Not really. I decided to move with her." Ben looked over at Ross who was putting on a good face.

"Well that's great. Good for you… When are you moving?" asked Ross.

"One Week. I just had to say good-bye. You can come visit anytime. It's a great place!"

"You don't have to sway us Ben we have already been there." Rachel smiled. Ben looked over to Eryn who was smiling and to Emma who was playing with her food.

"Well let's have a toast." Ross said, raising his glass. "To Ben and Libby."

Emma's glass stayed in her hands as she gulped down the rest of her water. She excused herself from the table and ran into her room.

She picked up the phone and dialed quickly. Tapping her fingers on her table she impatiently waited for someone to pick up. "Hey… Alexa? It's Em… I'm coming."
