Chapter 10:

Gordie stayed at Chris' and Lucy's house after the group, including Tiffany, parted ways. Lucy spent the time held up in her room, which was unusual because even if she were in a huge argument with her brother Chris, sure enough she'd be in his room, or Eyeball's depending on the velocity of their argument.

"Is she okay? She's been in there a while…" Gordie said, looking toward Chris' closed door.

"Eh, she's fine. She's just upset that a real girl is going to start hangin' around us and now she won't get to be the only one… ugh, women…" He said rolling his eyes and biting his fingernails.

"Yeah, but even so, I'm worried about her." Gordie replied, more to himself than to Chris.

"What are you, her mother?" Chris barked, and Gordie shrugged.

"Hey, you wanna play some baseball?" Chris suggested, getting up and grabbing his Yankee autographed bat.

"Uh sure… I'm going to see if Lucy wants to tag along okay?"

"Man, you are more brotherly to her than I am. Good thing too, because once she starts learning how to be a female, I'll need all the help I can get."

Gordie let out a shaky, nervous laugh and retreated to Lucy's room quickly. He walked in just as she was fumbling with a beautiful cotton day dress in her undergarments. Gordie blushed and fumbled for words.

"Well are you just going to stand there? Come help me!" She demanded.

"What are you doing?" He said in a choked laugh as he walked over to help her out of the human eating garment.

"Shut up…" She growled, as Gordie slowly unzipped her dress. His fingertips brushing against her skin sent shivers down her spine. She whipped around and stared at his face softy. The scene grew blurry and the two had been tossed from reality into a fantasy world of just each other. Lucy, quickly remembering that Gordie had a new girlfriend, frowned and turned vastly, whipping her hair against his face.

"What do you want anyway?" Lucy growled.

"Uh.. I-" Gordie took some time to get a grasp on the situation. "Chris… we're going to… baseball… want to come?" He stammered quickly.

"Baseball is for boys…" She whined mocking her brother.

"You're welcome to come. You're just as good as the guys."

"No thank you, I have more important things to do!" She said smugly.

"Oh… okay…" It was awkwardly silent for a moment. "I'd really like you to come."

Lucy gave him a quick look and forced herself not to smile.

"Oh… okay… well, just to cheer you guys on…" She turned her back to him once more. "Could you zip me back up?" She said in her daintiest of voices.

"You're wearing a dress?" He said with a cocked brow, quickly zipping her up.

"Yes, I am in fact a girl…" She said, trying to sound delicate but failed to do so.

A/N: Short and not that exciting I know I know, but I'm off to class now. School blows. But I will return soon I pink swear.  -Sophie
