Chapter 17

"Okay, here's your order." Angelica gave a couple their food. She then headed back to the kitchen where a familiar face stepped in her way. "Jack? Hi."

"Hello." Jack smiled. "Where have you been lately?"

"You know, houseboats, Miami,the hospital, the usual." Angelica grinned.

"Ah. I see." Jack said. "So, would you like to join me for dinner tonight, around, oh I dont know, seven?"

"Seven might be good. Let me check with my supervisor." she turned around to a guy at a table with his head on it. He looked miserable. He just stared at Angelica. "Seven'll be fine." she turned back to Jack.

Lil ran out of Doug's Diner as fast as she could. She panicked and ran back inside. Then, a minute later, she came back out with Mikey in his stroller. She looked around for Nicole. She then gave up and headed home. She walked in with Tommy watching Wheel of Fortune.

He turned around and smiled. "Hi."

"Hey." she smiled back. "You'll never guess who I saw today."

"Carrot Top!" Phil walked out of the bathroom.

"No!" Lil yeled. "Nicole."

"Nicole? Chuckie's old girlfriend Nicole?" Tommy asked.

"Chuckie's old what?" Chuckie walked in and asked.

"Chuckie's old, uh, reptar doll!" Phil yelled.

"What about it?" Chuckie asked.

"We found it." Tommy said.

"Really?" Chuckie asked.

"No." Lil shook her head. "Anyway, Chuck, whatcha been up to?"

"Well, a got a new job at Cheezy Chuck's." he said.

"Mentioning of new job. A got another too." Tommy said. "You're now looking at Thomas Pickles, playwright."

"You're gonna write plays?" Phil asked. "That is so gay!" he laughed.

"Well, this job is just until I can get back into the movie buisness." Tommy said. "Dont you need a job Phil?" Tommy asked.

"Nope. I'm still an assistant for Mr. Clark." Phil said. "And jeeze. He is so boring. A sat and listened to him say, anyone? Anyone? Anyone? For like, an hour."

"I wish I could get up enough nerve to quit my job." Lil said.

"You guys!" Angelica ran in. "Guess what?"

"You got a new job?" Tommy asked.

"No, why?"

"Everyone else is." he said and walked over to the fridge.

"Well, okay, whatever." Angelica said.

"So, what?" Tommy asked opening a pop.

"You know Jack?" she asked.

"Yeah, that really cute guy that comes into the restaraunt all the time." Lil said.

"He is so cute!"

"I know!" Lil cheered. Tommy walked up behind her and smiled sarcasticlly at her.

"I'm right here." he said.

"Anyway," Angelica said, "He asked me out and I finally said yes!"

"Didn't he already ask you out and you say yes once already?" Chuckie asked.

"No." Angelicca. "Where are you from? Planet stupid?"

"You said yes!" Lil cheered.

"Yep!"Angelica smiled.

"Good choice. I probaly would have said something like, OH YEAH!" Lil shouted.

"Still here." Tommy glared.

"Oh, T, its four. We gota go." Chuckie said looking at his watch.

"Where ya going?" Phil asked.

"Airport." Chuckie said. Phil look very interseted. "To pick up Ki-" Phil had a big smile on his face. "Kimaah."

"Kimaah?" Phil asked. "What the hell kind of name is Kimaah?"

"British." Tommy nodded casually.

"Come on, tell me wy I can't come to pick up Kimi." Phil said.

"Well, she said that she still dont wanna see you." Tommy said.

"But dont worry, Phil. We'll bring her straight here." Chuckie said as him and Tommy walked out the door.

The walked over to Dil's truck which was parked outside. He was in the driver's seat reading a magazine. "Hey!" Dil saw them. "Bout time!"

"Why is Dil the only one of us who has a car?" Tommy asked and he and Chuckie got in.

"Angelica's got one." Chuckie said.

"I meant a car that we can use." Tommy said.

Chuckie, Tommy, and Dil watched the plane land and a few moments later, people started flooding out. They saw Kimi and she came over to them. "Hi guys." she hugged all of them.

"Good to have you back, sis." Chuckie smiled.

"Yeah." Tommy agreed.

"So, what ever happened to that rat, Z?" Chuckie asked.

"Nothing." Kimi said.

"What?"Dil asked.

"Z never cared more about his money, sleep with the maid, or get arrested." Kimi said.

"I-I dont understand." Chuckie said.

"I just said all that, so, um, so it wouldn't look like I came back just for Phil." Kimi looked down.

Tommy and Dil looked at eachother and Chuckie just sighed.
