Chapter 53

"Why have I gotta wear this? You didn't make John dress like a fool" Randy complained

"Nah they made me prance around the room to backstreet boys and n'sync which is worse"

"Whatever! Bex your great but I don't love ya I have no reason to do this crap"

Becki laughed as John glared at Randy "I had to do it! Now you have too"

"Would you wear this?" Randy waved his arms about, the movement caused his ears to fall off and into his face.

He pushed them back in frustration as everyone burst out laughing again.

"It wouldn't look as good on me" John replied

"Stop complaining! If John had thrown a punch he would have got it worse but as it was you that threw a punch your just gonna have to deal with it" Jo giggled as Randy looked at Becki with pleading eyes.

"Sorry, she's right! You did punch John" behind her John pretended to rub his cut lip as Joanne tried to hold her laughter.

Randy sighed and glared at John "Yeah and I said sorry. He would have hit me too if you hadn't shouted"

"Lucky me then!" John grinned

"Oh shut up! I hate you guys" Randy pouted.

"Hey we've not said anything" Matt laughed, referring to Jeff and himself.

"You helped her!" Randy pointed at Joanne as he glared at the brothers.

"We couldn't let Jo get all the credit" Jeff replied

"Ok, ok enough of who did what! Randy your first task is to make lunch for us"

"Fine!" Randy sulked

Joanne laughed and added "Then you gotta serve it to us, we'll be out back by the pool"

"WHAT!" Bex grabbed Johns hands and hid behind them laughing as Randy looked at Jo horrified.

"You heard me"

"I'm not going outside in this!"

"No one will see you" Matt replied trying his hardest not to laugh.

"I don't care I'm not doing it!" Randy put his hands on his hips which caused Joanne to burst into laughter again.

"Ah come on Randy! John did everything we told him to its only fair that you do it too" Jeff argued.

Randy looked over to John who was trying to keep a straight face even though Becki was in fits of giggles behind his hands.

"At least they ain't making you pretend to be Justin Timberlake" John sympathised

"I bet Randy could do better than you did at that" Bex sniggered then squealed as John tickled her.

Rolling his eyes Randy replied "Fine" then stomped off to the kitchen, the sight of his bunny tail wiggling as he walked set everyone off laughing again.

Matt, Jeff and Joanne and all headed out to the pool while Bex and John stayed in the living room. They could hear Joanne torturing Randy by asking him to bring drinks out to them, it was followed by five minutes of Randy protesting until he finally gave in and did what he was asked.

"He's not gonna speak to Jo for a month after this" John pointed out.

"I'll be surprised if he speaks to any of us"

"He'll get over it!"

"We so need to get a picture of him in his bunny outfit for Mel" Bex said with an evil smile

"You read my mind" John laughed "I'll go get your camera and give it to Jo. Will you be ok here?"

"Not like I can go anywhere" Bex shrugged

John smiled as he carefully moved from behind her, once he was stood up he leant down and kissed the top of her head.

"Back in a minute"

Becki watched him leave with a smile on her face. She loved it when he was around, it was only when he wasn't that things got weird. As soon as he left the room Randy's cell, which was on the table in front of Bex, started to ring.

Bex picked it up and hit the call button as Randy rushed in, his ears almost falling off again.

"Hello" Bex grinned at Randy

"Howdy"

"Oh hey Mel" Bex smiled at Randy as he started waving his arms about and whispering to Bex not to tell Mel what he was wearing.

"You sound amused, what's going on?"

"Randy's ears are falling off"

Randy threw his arms up in defeat and whispered "I'll get you for that" as Becki laughed.

"Huh! What are you talking about?" Mel asked confused.

"Well Randy and John had a fight yesterday so…"

"Why were they fighting?" Mel interrupted

"Oh I don't know, they were being stupid"

"Okay" Mel could tell Bex knew but decided not to push it…yet!

"Anyhow we decided their punishment should be that they had to be a slave for the day, so John did it yesterday and it's Randy's turn today" Randy was stood glaring at Bex mouthing the words 'I hate you'.

Bex stuck her tongue out at him as Mel asked "What's that gotta do with his ears falling off?"

"He's wearing bunny ears" Randy shook his head as Bex smirked at him

"Um why?"

"Do you not listen?"

"Yeah I heard you but why is he wearing bunny ears as a punishment?"

"He's not just wearing bunny ears"

"Bex seriously shut up! Now!" Randy moaned and at the other end of the phone Mel laughed

"ok, you have to tell me now"

"He's dressed as a playboy bunny"

"What?" Mel giggled

"Here I'll let him explain" Bex held the phone out to Randy. He took it and as he put it to his ear John ran in with the camera, he snapped a picture then took off running.

Randy spluttered in shock then screamed "John, give me that camera!"

By this point Mel was laughing hysterically "Mel I'll call you back" Randy said as he shut his phone and ran after John.

John finally escaped Randy by giving the camera to Joanne who proceeded to hide it as Matt and Jeff held Randy hostage in the kitchen. When John returned to Bex she was on the phone to Mel again, she had just told her about the pregnancy test.

"Don't take it the wrong way but I'm glad" Mel said

"So am I"

"So other than that how are you feeling?"

"Bruises are fading, ribs and foot still hurt though"

"Snap" Mel replied "I wanna go home already but I'm stuck here till they're sure my heads okay, they'll have a long wait, its never been ok"

"Don't joke its serious"

"Who said I was joking?" Mel refused to take any of it seriously, if she did she'd fall to pieces.

Bex couldn't help but smile "Then I'm sure they'll work it out sooner or later that your nuts"

"Yeah either that or the male nurse will get fed up of me drooling over him and they'll kick me out"

Bex laughed "Forgotten Randy already?"

"Hey he's not here to drool over, I have to make do with someone!"

"Okay! If you say so!"

"Yes I do say so! Anyhow I gotta go my times up on this phone"

"Oh ok, see ya later"

"Luv ya, bye"

"You too, bye"

Bex put the phone down and turned to John.

"is the camera safe?"

"Yeah, Jo hid it! How's Mel?"

"She's ok, fed up of being in hospital"

"I'm sure she is but she needs to be there" John replied as he helped Bex stand up.

"I know, what exactly is wrong with her head?"

"Um.. She banged it pretty bad, so she had concussion and I think Randy said the doctors were worried about her getting fluid on her brain"

"Oh" Bex was worried now

"Don't worry, Randy said they would have been able to tell by now if there was"

"Then why is she still in hospital, her other injuries are like mine"

John sat Bex back down "Her injuries are worse than yours and they are probably keeping her there until her concussion has cleared up. You have nothing to worry about"

"Hmm okay" Bex looked sceptical

"Trust me" John replied as he help her stand back up.

He was about to pick her up when Bex said "It's ok, I'll walk!"

"Bex your not supposed to put weight on your foot. Every time you walk on it I can tell its hurting ya and you cant use the crutches until your ribs have heeled"

"It doesn't hurt"

"You've walked on it once today and yes it did hurt! I'm carrying ya end of story"

With that John picked her up and carried out to join the others.

Once outside John sat Becki on his lap as Randy continued to complain. He was getting nervous as Joanne had disappeared and he was pretty sure she would come out of no where and take more pictures of him.

"Randy have you made lunch?" Matt asked getting tired of listening to Randy moan.

"yeah" Randy huffed

"Then will you please just bring it out already!"

Randy glared at Matt before turning on his heels and heading back to the house.

"Shouldn't you hop?" John murmured which caused Becki to snicker.

"What?" Randy snapped, turning his head to look at John.

"Didn't say a word" John grinned.

"Jackass" Randy muttered on his way back to the kitchen as John laughed.

As Randy served lunch Joanne took her chance to sneak downstairs with the camera, she was determined to catch Randy off guard. Then she was gonna e-mail them to Mel and possibly a few of the guys at work!

Mark opened the front door as Joanne reached the bottom step of the stairs.

"Oh hey Mark! What you doing here?"

"Thought I'd come and check on you guys. What are you doing?" he asked when he caught the mischievous look on her face.

"You'll see! Just don't say a word"

"Okay then" he replied as he placed his bags on the floor and followed Joanne.

Randy had just finished handing everyone their lunch as Joanne snuck outside. Matt spotted her with the camera in her hand and smirked, he was sat directly at the pool side and Randy was stood in front of him with his back to Joanne.

Randy noticed his smirk and spun round to look, as soon as he did Joanne snapped the camera, catching Randy in mid spin. The shock caused Randy to topple over, straight into the pool as Joanne continued to snap away with the camera.

Matt and Jeff doubled over laughing as Becki buried her head in Johns shoulder, she felt quite sorry for Randy, but damn it was funny. John just looked on with a smirk on his face.

Mark took one look at them all, then he looked at Randy flapping around in the pool with bunny ears hanging off his head. Shaking his head Mark walked back into the house wondering why he'd let them loose in his house.
