Chapter 19

"Lets see," Tommy stared at his typewriter. "Love's Harsh Consequences. Hm. Neat name, I guess." he began to type, finally. "Okay, um, 'Phil', uh, 'Phil Smith sat at his kitchen table staring at the most important person in his life, Kimi', um, 'Kimi Gregory', yeah, this is pretty good."

"Hey!" Dil walked into Tommy's apartment. "Whats up?"

"Oh, just writing my play, here read." Tommy said.

"Okay. Phil Smith sat at his kitchen table staring at the most important person in his life, Kimi Gregory, yeah, this is pretty good."

"Thanks."

"No, you typed that." Dil pointed to the paper.

"Oh! Oops." Tommy backspaced and asked, "So? Was it good?"

"Well, you did sort of write it as a story, not a play." Dil shrugged.

Tommy glared at him. "Dont you have to be at work?"

"Nope. Just got fired." Dil smiled.

"Are you proud of that?"

"Yes actually." Dil nodded. "I can hang out here with you."

"Oh God, get a job!" Tommy begged.

"Alright, fine." Dil rolled his eyes.

"Search the newspaper or something." Tommy said.

"Oh, mention of newspapers, Kimi needs a place. Maybe she could stay in your guest bedroom?"

"Yeah sure, okay. Lil wont mind, but, um, how does that have to do with the newspaper?"

"Oh! She was looking through it this morning for apartments."

"Ah, I see. Very large connection you have there."

"Jeeze, you dont have to be a jackass." Dil sighed and walked out the door.

Later that evening, Kimi walked into Tommy and Lil's with Tommy, Lil, and Chuckie there. "Hey guys." Kimi said.

"Hey." Tommy said.

"Hey Kim, you can move into our guest bedroom if you'd like?" Lil suggested.

"Really? Oh great! Thanks guys." she hugged Tommy and Lil.

"Well, guys, I gotta go. My lunch break ended like," Chuckie looked at his watch, "Four hours ago, so, see ya!" he said and left.

"Hey guys!" Kimi yelled. "This will be awesome! We'll be roomies!"

"Yeah." Lil nodded.

"Hey hey!" Kimi smiled. "Come and knock on our door." she started singing. Tommy and Lil looked at her strangely.

"Ha ha, yeah. Thats the Three's Company theme song." Tommy grinned sarcasticlly.

"Yeah, I know." Kimi said. "Anyway, guys, thanks." Kimi said and walked out.

Tommy and Lil stared at the door, then eachother. "What the hell was that?" Tommy asked.

"Huh?" Lil looked strangely. "That was the Three's Company theme-"

"I know that!" Tommy yelled. "DIdn't you notice she was acting a little odd?"

"Well, she's excited. She hasn't lived here, in what? A year or two? She misses it and us. She's been gone for several months." Lil said.

Phil walked into Doug's Diner and walked to the middle of it. He looked around and shrugged. "Summer!?" he yelled out. "Summer Break!?"

"Yeah?" a girl asked looking up from her magazine.

Phil turned around and saw a gril with beautiful long brown hair and she was just plain pretty. Phil grinned and walked over. "You'll do." he smiled.

"Hey everyone!" Phil opened the door to Tommy's apartment. Tommy, Lil, Dil, and Angelica were there. "This is Summer." he showed everyone the girl that had come with him. "This is Dil, Tommy, Angelica, and ,my sister, Lil. Kim should be around here somewhere."

Tommy and Dil turned the heads on the side and stared smiling. Kimi then walked out of the guest bedroom and stared with her mouth open. Tommy and Dil continued smiling. Then, Lil came over and pushed their heads together knocking htme out of the trance.

Kimi just stood there staring.

"Kimi." Phil turned around. "Well, this is-"

"Summer." Kimi said. "I know. You told me about her."

"Okay." Phil nodded.

"How long have you two been going out?" Tommy asked.

"About a week actually." Phil said.

"How'd ya meet?" Angelica asked.

"Um, in college." Summer said. Phil nodded along until she said college. "We met in college then we ran into eachother again and-"

"Um, Summer, a minute please!" Phil drug her ot the bathroom.

Everyone but Dil was staring strangely since she said college. Dil just daydreamed. "Hey wait!" he burst out. "Phil didn't go to college!"

"Um," Tommy turned to him, "Duh!"

"Summer!" Phil yelled quietly. "I told you to say high school!"

"Well, I figured college would be more believable." Summer shrugged.

"I didn't go to college!" Phil yelled. "Now, we need something to cover this up."

"Oh, how about-"

"No no. You've already screwed up enough. I didn't give you a hundred dollars for nothing. Oh! I got it!" Phil smiled.

Phil and Summer walked out of the bathroom casually. "Hey, uh, Phil." Lil walked over. "How'd you too meet again?"

"Who?" Phil asked.

"You and Summer." Lil said.

"High school." Phil nodded.

"Didn't you say-" Angelica said.

"High school. Yeah." Phil said.

"Right." Tommy stared strangely. "Whatever."

"Lets eat!" Dil smiled. Everyone stared at him.

"Were we planning on it?" Tommy asked.

"No." Lil said. "But, I made chicken just in case." she smiled pulling a roasted chicken out of the oven. "Dig in."

"Actually, Lil, I gonna go." Kimi said.

"No, Kim, dont go." Phil said.

"No, no. I have something to do." Kimi nodded. "Yeah, I have to, um, paint my room." she said and headed towards the door.

"But you live here now." Phil said. Kimi stopped and turned around.

"Oh yeah." Kimi grinned. "Okay then. I'm going to go get some paint." she siad and left.

Lil was preparing the dinner while Phil, Tommy, and Summer were watching TV. Angelica walked over to get a drink. "So Ange, how'd the date with Jack go?" Lil asked.

"Very good." Angelica said. "He took me to dinner, then we went back to his place and talked for a while. He kissed me."

"Tounge?"

"Oh yeah." Angelica nodded. "Then, he drove me home. He walked me up to my apartment and we said goodbye."

"You slept with him didn't ya?"

"Oh yeah."
