I noticed that I really love to write this story... So, that's why I'm updating this almost daily. At least at the moment... But we'll see what happens...

Drink-Up-me-Hearties-yo-ho; don't worry Randy won't touch her on that way... Or I think so anyway... ) Nikki was quite scary, but hey! She is Dumas!

Takerschick: nice that you like my all stories...

And again... Sorry about all weird sentences and spelling mistakes.

Chapter 8

On the next morning Dave was going to talk to Nicolette. He had just coming behind the corner, when he saw her and Randy hugging in his room door. He went fast back behind corner and heard weakly what these two were talking.

"Thanks, Randy, I needed someone last night… " Dave didn't heard what she said next and then he heard Randy answering.

"I'm always here for you, Nikki. You can come to me when ever you want."

Dave didn't want to hear anymore and turned to go back to his room. Did Nicolette mean what she had said after all?

Nicolette went back to her room and saw her sister laying in the bed, her eyes were open.

"Where were you all night?"

"In Randy's room."

"What?" Amy screamed and stood up.

"I've totally messed everything up." Nicolette sighed and sat on her bed. Then she told what had happened after Amy had fallen asleep.

"I'm sure Dave understands that you didn't mean what you said. And Randy won't tell to anyone that you spent last night in his room. There didn't happen anything, right?" Amy comforted her.

"No, nothing happened. I just hope that Dave does understand…" Nicolette sighed.

After a while there was knock on the door and Amy opened it. Adam and Jeff came in and looked at sisters in very interested way.

"What last evening was going on, Nikki? We heard yelling from Shawn and Daves room." Jeff asked.

"Yeah, it was like watching soap opera. Even though we heard only your screaming, it was actually better than any soap opera on TV." Adam added.

Amy and Nicolette glanced at each other and decided to tell what had happened. First Amy told what Shawn had said and then Nicolette told what happened after that. Although she left out that part, what happened after she had ran out of the guys room.

"What? Why in earth Shawn thinks that he is too old for you, Ames? Well, he is old, but…" Jeff asked in awe.

"I have no idea." Amy said shaking her head.

"Stupid man…" Adam muttered.

"Jeff, would you come with me to the gym?" Amy asked.

"Actually I can come, I'll just go change clothes." He said.

Amy changed also and sat then to her bed and sighed. She should talk with Shawn, if he just would listen to her, because she wanted to make it clear to him that their age difference didn't bother her at all. Amy heard that Jeff came back to their room and went to livingroom. She wanted to do a long and hard work out. It was a good way to take out all sorrows and tensions.

"Ames, are you alright?" Nicolette looked at her sister with anxiety when she came to room.

"Well, not really. But a good, hard work out helps a little." She answered going to door, then she turned again to look at Nicolette. "Talk to Dave."

She nodded and when the door closed after Amy and Jeff, she walked to window and looked thoughtfully out. She wanted to make it clear to Dave that she hadn't meant what she said. She didn't even mean that all what she had said to Shawn. She had been so angry, that she hadn't thought what she had spat out.

She sighed and went out of the room and soon she stood behind Dave and Shawns door. She hesitated few seconds before she knocked. Shawn opened the door and he looked little bit scared when he saw, who was standing behind the door.

"Hey, Shawn." Nicolette smiled weakly. "I'm sorry about yesterday. I wasn't really thinking what I said."

"I understand, Nikki. You were angry because of Amy. But you didn't have to take it out to Dave." He said with a very serious face.

"I know. I don't know what came to me. I wasn't thinking clearly." She sighed. "Is Dave here? I'd like to speak with him."

"He's not here." Shawn simply answered.

"What?" Nicolette looked at him astonished.

"He went already to airport."

"But why? His flight doesn't leave yet." Nicolette knew that Dave was going to home for couple of days, but it was still three hours before his flight would take off.

"I wondered that too. He was coming to speak with you earlier on the morning, but came back five minutes later. He seemed somehow angry and hurt. I tried to ask what had happened, but I didn't get any kind of answer out of him. He just packed his bags and then he was gone." Shawn explained. "You didn't talk with him, then?"

"No I didn't" Nicolette said thoughtfully. " On what time he was coming to talk to me?"

"Just before 9 am."

"Ok. Thanks, Shawn. And I'm really sorry about last night." She said once again.

"Don't worry about it. Do you think…do you think that Amy would listen to me, if I tried to speak to him?" Shawn asked little bit unsurely.

"I don't know, maybe you should't do it right now. She's not mad, but she is hurt." Nicolette answered.

"Alright. Nikki, try to sort your things with Dave." Shawn said when he was closing the door.

"I'll do so. Bye, Shawn."

Nicolette was just going back to their room, when it hit her. Shawn had said that Dave had come to speak to her just before 9. She had left Randys room about that same time and his room was in the same floor as her and Amys. Could Dave have seen that and totally misunderstood what he had seen? She couldn't figure any other explanation for his sudden leaving.

When she was on her room, she tried to call Dave, but the call was connected straight to answering machine and she didn't want to leave a message, she didn't know what to say anyway. She glanced at her wrist watch and noted that it was no point to leave to airport to look for Dave, probably she wouldn't be there in time. But she would see him in the next show…

When Amy came back from gym she had little better feeling. She had talked with Jeff and she actually had a plan, how she would get Shawn to notice how wrong he was concerning this whole age thing.

She saw her sister sitting on the couch and she was staring TV. It seemed anyway that she wasn't really watching the program which was on.

"Nikki? Did you talk with Dave?"

"No… He had left already." She said quietly and looked at her sister tears in her eyes.

"Left? Where?" Amy looked her at in surprise.

"Home."

"Why in the earth?"

Nicolette told her what Shawn had said.

"I think that he saw me on morning, when I came from Randys room and did his own conclusions." She ended her story.

"Oh, Nikki… Have you tried to call him?" Amy was really sorry for her sister.

"Yes, but he doesn't answer."

"But he should understand that you and Randy are just friends." Amy said.

"Yeah… By the way, Shawn wants to speak to you." Nicolette changed the subject suddently.

"Oh, he does?" Amy said. Nicolette looked at her sisters brown eyes when he heard a little annoyance in her voice

" Look at us two. We should be the sparky Dumas' sisters and here we are sighing after men."

"Amy? What you have in mind?" Nicolette asked, she knew that tone of voice.

"I think that we should let Mr. Michaels and Mr. Bautista to see what they are giving up. That you shouldn't mess with Dumas' sisters hearts."

"But it Dave haven't done anything wrong…" Nicolette said, she was little bit confused.

"For my opinion he doesn't trust you as much as he should. Look, where is he now, when he should be with you?" Amy raised her eye brows.

"But I love him…"

"I love Shawn too. We won't do anything really scandalous, we just give them a little wake up call." Now Amy had a small evil grin in her lips.

"Amy?" Nicolette felt that she might be interested about her plan after all…

"We need help. You talk to Randy and Lillian. I'm going to talk to Jeff and Adam." She said and continued " My plan is this…"
