Chapter 13

Chuckie sighed as he walked into his and Dil's apartment. He sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. He switched it to Tommy's old soap, Its Your Feelings. It was now directed by their friend Trevor. Trevor. It had been years since Chuckie had seen him. He smiled. Seeing an old friend might help him get Nicole off his mind.

.....

Back at Tommy and Lil's, Lil was asleep on the couch, and Tommy was in a chair asleep. Phil then barged in. "Hey guys." he said opening the fridge. "H-hey, where's the beer?" he asked. Tommy then jumped up.

"No I didn't!" he yelled. "Huh? Oh hi. Um, yeah?"

"Beer. Where is it?"

"We dont have any." Tommy said. Lil then moaned waking up.

"Yes you did!" she yelled jumping up. "Huh? Hi Phil."

"Yeah, whatever, just you guys get some beer, soon, please." he pleaded. "Hey Lil, you're starting to show." he said patting her belly.

"Quit it!" she yelled. "That tickles." she whispered to herself.

......

"Hey Trevor." Chuckie said walking into the studio. He turned around and gasped.

"Poindexter!" he yelled. "Hey man!" he shook his hand.

"Its been a long time, Trev." Chuckie said. "Haven't seen you since the parade in college."

"Yeah I know. By the way, did you ever hook up with-"

"Nicole?"

"Yeah."

"No. I never saw her after that day." he sighed. "Well, you talked to Z lately or anything?"

"Yeah, I have, actually, and I was going to ask Tommy if him and you, and your other friends wanted to come with me." Trevor said.

"What? Where?"

"Miami. I'm going to go visit. You guys wanna come?"

"I dont know, i'll have to ask everyone else."

.....

"Hey guys." Chuckie came into Tommy's apartment. Tommy, Phil, Lil, and Dil were there.

"Hi." they all said.

"Whats up?" Dil asked.

"I went over to the studio and saw Trevor." Chuckie said. "He wants to know if we wanna go to Miami with him to see Z."

"Z?" Kimi ran in. Phil looked strangely at her.

"Yeah. You want to go to Miami to see him?" Chuckie asked.

"Oh yeah!" Kimi yelled.

"Okay." Tommy said.

"Why not." Dil smiled.

"I guess." Phil shrugged. Lil stayed quiet though.

"I'm not going. I've got a freakin baby in me for goodness sake." she rolled her eyes. Angelica and Susie then came in.

"You guys want to go to Miami to visit Z?" Chuckie asked.

"Sure." Susie said.

"Well, I would go, but....I dont wanna." Angelica said.

"Good, you can stay here with me." Lil said.

"Okay." Angelica said.

"We all know you dont wanna go because you have a crush on the guy who eats breakfast at the restaraunt everyday." Susie said.

"Well, pack up." Chuckie said. "We leave tomorrow."

.....

"Bye." Lil said kissing Tommy on the cheek as they left the apartment.

"Bye guys." Angelica said. Once they were gone, Angelica closed the door and sighed. "So, what do ya wanna do?" she asked. Lil shrugged. "How about..." she then pulled out something from behind her back. "SCRABBLE!"

.....

The gang got on the plane and in their seats. Tommy, Chuckie, and Trevor sat in a row, Kimi and Susie sat by themselves, and Phil and Dil sat by them selves.

"Hey Phil." Dil said. "Pull my finger." he chuckled. Phil glared at him.

"So, Trev, how's the feelings been?" Tommy asked.

"What?" Trevor asked.

"How's the show been?" he asked.

"Ohhhh. Good, good. Been thinking about a new character. Maybe Phil?" Trevor asked. Tommy nodded his head until he heard the word Phil. He stopped and looked at him.

"Phil?" he asked. Trevor nodded. Tommy then looked ahead. "You'll be sorry." he said.

"Hey Phil." Dil said.

"What?" he asked.

"Check out that girl's ass." he pointed to a flight attendant bent over talking to someone. Phil grinned and fixed his hair. The girl then turned around and was revealed to be May. He panicked and turned his head so she wouldn't see him. "M-May?" Dil asked. He also turned his head.

"What are you worried about?" Phil asked.

"We went out, I dumped her, she took it kind of hard." Dil said. "Nothing big."

"Excuse me sir, we are getting ready to take off, you need to buckle up." she tapped Phil shoulder. He then slowly turned around. "Phil?" she asked.

"May!" he yelled sarcastically. "How ya been?"

"Well, after a was kicked off Its Your Feelings, I tried to be in movies, that didn't work so then I became a waitress and now I'm here." she smiled. "Dil?" she asked.

"H-hi." he turned around slowly.

"Buckle up you bastard." she said and walked off. The plane then took off and they were in the air headed for Miami, Florida.

"Susie." Kimi said.

"Yeah?" she asked.

"Um, can you help me or something." Kimi said. "When I said I was all excited about going to Miami to visit Z, I think Phil thought I might still be in love with him."

"Well, just tell Phil that you're not in love with him." Susie said.

Phil was asleep and Dil was as bored as can be. He sighed but then heard Kimi and Susie talking behind him. He decided to listen in on what they were saying.

"Thats the problem, Suse." Kimi sighed.

"What?" Susie asked.

"I think I'm still in love with Z."

Dil gasped and started coughing and choking on his own breath. "You okay, Dil?" Susie asked. Dil looked over at her and gave her the thumbs up. He then caught his breath and sat back down.

"Phil." he shook him to wake him up. "Phil. Phil. Phil!"

"W-what?" he yawned.

"Meet me in the bathroom." Dil whispered and headed towards the bathroom. Phil stared straight ahead for a minute and thought.

"What?" he asked himself. He nervously got up and headed towards the bathroom. He knocked ont he one Dil was in and crept in. "Y-yes?" he asked.

"I have news."

"Oh no! D-Dil! I'm not gay."

"What? Me niether. Anyway, this news is not very good news for you."

"Oh dear God. But its good for you? No. No!"

"Calm down. Its not like i'm trying to do you."

"Oh, okay." he took a breath. "Okay, what?"

"I think Kimi might end up dumping you."

"W-what? F-for w-who?"

"Z. I heard Kimi and Susie talking. Kimi's still in love with Z."

"Oh."

"I'm sorry."

"But, I thought Z was married."

"I think he is. But, I mean, oh, I dont know. I'm sorry." Dil sighed and walked out. Phil put his hand over his face and sat down, on the toilet. He began crying softly.

A kid then opened the door and saw him crying. "Geeze, mister, if its that bad, lock the door." he said and walked off. Phil closed the door and locked it.

......

"H, E, M, P." Lil smiled. "Hemp."

"Dang." Angelica said. "Ooh! Ooh! B, I, T, C, H. Bitch."

"Oh yeah? Gig."

"Gig?"

"Yeah. You know. I got us a 'gig'."

"Oh, okay." Angelica nodded. "Dew."

"Dew?"

"You know, Mountain 'Dew'. Do the 'Dew."

"You have to have Mountain with it or Dew means nothing." Lil said.

"Nuh uh."

"Yuh huh."

"Nuh uh."

"Yuh huh."

.....

Phil slowly walked back to his seat. He sat down and stared straight ahead. "Phil." Dil put his hand on his shoulder. "You okay?"

"No." Phil said. "You're lying." he whispered.

"What?"

"Kimi wouldn't say that." Phil bobbed his head. "You're wrong."

"I'm not wrong, and I'm not lying." Dil said. "Please believe me. I just dont want you to get hurt, Phil. You're my best friend."

"Well, if we're friends, start acting like one." Phil snapped. "Dont go making up stories!" he yelled.

"What did he make up?" Kimi leaned over and asked.

"NOTHING!" Phil and Dil yelled at the same time.

.....

"What now?" Lil asked. She looked over at the scrabble board broken in half.

"I dont know, but I do think we should learn to control our temper." Angelica said.

"Well, its eight o'clock. They should be there in about an hour." Lil said.

"Got Pay Day?"

"Nope. Tommy and I played it once, I lost. So, I threw it out the window."

"Ohhh. How about Monopoly?"

"Actually, yes." Lil said getting up.

"Dont get up. I'll get it." Angelica said walking over to the closet.

Lil shrugged and sat back down. "Hey Ange. Can ya get me a soda?"

"Sure."

"A Milky Way?"

"Sure."

"A blanket? I'm cold."

"Sure."

Lil smiled as Angelica got her stuff for her. "I like being pregnant." Lil chuckled to herself.

.....

The plane slowly decended in the airport run way. One by one, people got off. Trevor took the gang to the hotel and they got into their rooms. Trevor, Tommy,Dil, and Chuckie shared a suite. Kimi, Phil, and Susie got the other room, with two beds.

"This freaking room has four beds." Dil smiled walking in. Then he saw Phil go into his room. Dil walked in there and sat down next to Phil. "Hey."

"Hey." he sighed. "I dont know."

"What?"

"Kimi. Maybe she is still in love with Z." he sighed. "She has seemed overly excited about this trip and she did have a crush on him in school."

"I'm sorry, man." Dil said and hugged him. He continued to hug him.

"Dil."

"I am so sorry."

"Dil!"

"Yeah?"

"I think we look gay." he said. Dil quickly let go.

.....

The next day, Trevor took the gang to Z's house, or, mansion. "The bastard's rich?" Phil asked.

"Yep." Trevor said. He then pushed a buzzer next to a gate.

"Hello." Z said threw through the speaker.

"Z, its us." Trevor said.

"Oh, okay. Come on in!" he said. The gate then opened and they started walking towards the house.

Phil then held Kimi's hand. "Whats wrong Phil?" Kimi asked.

"Nothing." he said. Kimi then got loose of his grip. "Why were you holding my hand?"

"Well, we're going out."Phil said. "It seems natural to me."

"Yeah whatever." Kimi said as the door was opened for them. Z had changed alot. He still had his green hair but no longer in a mowhawk. He was much skinnier and wore glasses now. "Z!" Kimi ran up and hugged him. Phil rolled his eyes.

"Kimi!" he hugged her back. "Hey guys." he smiled.

"So, Z, where's the mrs.?" Phil asked.

"Oh, we broke up. She cheated on me and we got a divorce about a week ago." Z said.

'Crap.' Phil thought.

"Thanks for having us down." Trevor said.

"No problem, come in, come in." Z said.

They took a tour of Z's house. He had a green house, two pools, a hot tub, six bathrooms and it was four stories high! "Z, what do you do?" Tommy asked.

"I am manager of a car making company thingy." Z said. "I make ALOT!"

"I bet you do." Phil muttered.

Tommy, Trevor, Chuckie, Susie, and Dil were in the pool and Z, Kimi, and Phil were sitting outside talking. They then heard a ding. "The cookies are done!" Z ran inside. When he was gone, Phil started a conversation.

"Z's turned into a tomgirl." he chuckled.

"What?" Kimi asked.

"Sissy. He's a sissy! Didn't you hear him?" Phil asked. He got up and started to imitate Z. "Ooh! Ooh! The cookies are done!" he laughed.

"Thats not funny." Kimi said.

"Well, sorry." Phil said.

"Who wants chochlate chip?" Z asked coming back out.

.....

"Okay, wanna be the car, hat, or checker piece?" Lil asked.

"Huh?" Angelica asked.

"Well, the car and hat are the only ones Dil didn't loose the time we let him borrow it and we threw a checker piece in there."

"I'll be the hat."

"I'll be the car."

Angelica rolled the dice. She moved her hat to a chance. "Chance. Collect $200 from every player."

"Dammit!"

.....

"These are pretty good." Dil smiled eating his cookie.

"Really?" Z asked. "You think so?"

"Yeah." Tommy agreed. "They're really great."

"Yeah, they're really great." Phil mocked Tommy under his breath. Phil then struck an idea. He grinned evilly as he asked. "Hey Z, you gonna be making anymore?"

"Yeah sure, why?" Z replied.

"No reason, why dont you get started on that." Phil said.

"Okay." Z said and went back in side.

Once he was gone, Phil turned to Dil. "Dil!"

"Yeah?" he answered.

"Listen carefully, we're gonna sabatoge those cookies!" Phil yelled evilly.

"What?" Chuckie asked.

"Its a play." Phil said. "We're gonna sabotoge those cookies, and the milk, and Santa himself."

"No you wont!" Dil yelled.

"Whatever." Chuckie rolled his eyes.

Phil and Dil snuck into the house and watched Z put ingredients into a bowl. Phil whispered something to Dil and he nodded. "Z!" Dil yelled. "Come here, please."

"Okay!" Z headed towards them. Phil snuck into the kitchen and poured more sugar in it than needed and some flower. He then went back outside.

After a little while, Z brought the cookies back out and everyone but Phil and Dil got one. "Aren't you going to eat one?" Trevor asked.

"Nah." Dil said. "Not hungry."

"I dont feel so good." Tommy moaned. He held his stomach then fell on the ground. Everyone else looked at the cookies and spit out what they had not swallowed and threw the cookies on the ground.

"Tommy!" Chuckie yelled. Phil and Dil looked nervously at eachother.

"He's okay." Dil said.

"Isn't he?" Phil asked nervously. Phil lightly kicked him in the side but Tommy didn't move. "Uh oh."

.....

The phone rang and Angelica got up to answer it. "Hello?" she answered. "OH MY GOD!"

"What?" Lil asked.

"Tommy's in the hospital!" Angelica yelled/

"WHAT!?"

"Said he has food poisoning."

.....

"We killed Tommy." Phil kept saying as him and Dil sat in the waiting room. "We killed him."

"No we didn't." Dil said. "He just has food poisoning. Not dead. Sick. Not dead. Sick. NOT DEAD! SICK!"

"SHUT UP, MAN!" Phil shouted.

"What do you mean, you killed him?" Chuckie asked coming up behind them.

"Okay, we admit it! We added a little extra ingredients to the cookies." Phil said.

"What?" Chuckie asked.

"Too much sugar and flower." Phil said.

"That shouldn't give food poisoning, just bad cookies." Chuckie said.

"After Phil did that, I sort of squashed a wasp and put it in the bowl." Dil said nervously. phil and Chuckie stared at him.

"I didn't kill him! Dil did! Ha ha ha!" Phil cheered.

"You squashed a wasp and put it in the cookies?" Chuckie asked.

"Yeah." Dil said.

"Why?"

"Well, Phil was jealous of Z so he tried to sabotage the cookies so people would say he made bad cookies." Dil said.

"So it was Phil's falt." Chuckie said.

"Oops." Phil said.

A couple hours later, Tommy walked out followed by Z, Kimi, Trevor, and Susie. "Tommy!" Phil yelled.

"Yeah" he asked.

"You okay?" Dil asked.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Phil hugged him. "This is my fault. I tried to sabotage the cookies!"

"Why?" Kimi asked.

"Tell her, Phillip." Chuckie grinned.

"Thank you, Chuckie." Phil glared at him. "Kimi, I did that to the cookies because...I was afraid."

"Of what?" Z asked.

"That you and Z would get back together." Phil looked down.

"What? Why?" Kimi asked.

"Well, you wouldn't ever talk to me, you only payed attention to him, and Dil," Phil said. Dil's eyes widened and walked to the side with his back to them whistling. "Dil said he heard you talking." Phil frowned.

"That I still loved Z?" Kimi asked.

"Yes." Phil said. Susie then walked over to Dil and grabbed him by the ear.

"Ow ow ow ow!" he moaned in pain as Susie dragged him over to Kimi.

"What do you say?" Susie asked.

"I'm sorry." Dil said. Susie squezed his ear tighter. "For eavesdropping. I'M SORRY FOR EAVESDROPPING! I'M SORRY! SO SORRY!" he yelled. Susie then let go.

"Isn't this awkward." Z sighed.

"You guys wanna go test my blood rate again?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah sure!" Susie, Chuckie, Trevor, and Dil said at the same time. Them three and Tommy walked off. Phil and Kimi stared at eachother and Z stared at the ground.

"Who do you love?" Phil asked.

"I dont know." Kimi sighed.

"Who do you love?" Phil asked again.

"I honestly dont know." Kimi said.

"Well, if it takes longer than this to tell your boyfriend you love him, maybe you dont." Phil said grabbing his coat. "She's all your's Z." Phil said angerily and walked out of the hospital.

"Phil!" Kimi yelled but Phil flagged down a taxi and drove off. "Phil." she said to herself.
