Ah! I love you people. Really. I know this part is horribly short, but the next part is better. Benny and Roger banter. Ah, I love it!

Please enjoy. 3.

Benny poked his head in the loft. "Ho, ho, ho!" he said, smiling.

"Benny!" Collins and Mark said in unison.

"What's up?" He stepped in, and Collins whistled.

"Whoa. That's a suit if I ever saw one. What's happenin'?" Benny looked down, and rolled his eyes.

"Ah, it's for Allison. Her dad wants to meet me later on today, and she told me to be 'on call', just in case he wanted to get together early." He looked down at the suit again, then smiled. "But I do look damn good in it, if I do say so myself." While Benny took time to pretend like he was on a catwalk, Mark got on his coat. He looked at Benny and laughed.

"Why don't you just sing 'I'm Too Sexy' while you're at it?" Benny paused, and then started to sing.

"I'm too sexy for my suit, too sexy for my suit, so sexy it's cute!" Mark and Collins burst out laughing as Benny continued to dance around a little more, then stopped, chuckling. "What are you guys doing, anyway?"

"Ah, we were going to go down to the café," Collins said, "and, you know, even though we can't get anything, just relax and all." Benny smiled.

"Well, let me treat you to lunch. Allison lent me a few dollars, and what better way to spend it than with you guys?" Collins and Mark looked at each other, then hugged, pretending to sob.

"Oh Benny," Collins mock-wept, "you're too kind to us!"

"Ah, shut up, or I'll starting singing 'I'm Too Sexy' again." And they all laughed and went out the door.

But Mark came back in the loft quickly to fetch his camera, and then shut the door behind him.


Roger and April walked along with their hot dogs. She looked at him. "Brunch, huh?" Roger blinked at her.

"What? This is brunch?" April laughed.

"Roger, this is a hot dog. You don't have hot dogs for brunch."

"I do," he said, stuffing one end into his mouth. "I always have hot dogs for brunch," he mumbled.

"Babe, do you even know what brunch is?" she said, raising an eyebrow.

"Can't we just get off the subject of brunch?" Roger pouted, and April kissed his forehead.

"Sure." He gave her a glance, then wrapped her up in a hug.

"See? That's why I love you, April. You know when to give me space." He nuzzled her neck and she yelped.

"Roger! Before you decide to nestle into my neck like that, remember to shave!" He paused, and then did it again. "Roger! Asshole!"

"That's what I'm here for," he replied, and they laughed and struggled until they hit someone lightly.

April smiled bashfully. "God, I'm so sorry—"

"Maureen?" Roger said, an eyebrow raising. April did a double take. It was Maureen...with a young woman that she had never seen before. "Hey, I thought you were at work." Maureen turned red. She looked back and forth between the young woman and Roger and April before Roger grinned and replied. "Oooh. That kind of work, huh?"

"Shut up, Roger!" both Maureen and April chided, and Roger just rested his head on April's.

"So, what are you going to tell Mark?"


Benny had gone through several stanzas of 'I'm Too Sexy' before Collins finally stuffed a roll into his mouth and told him to quit it. Mark had filmed the whole thing, and Benny looked into the lens. "Mark, why don't you get a new camera?" he asked.

"I like my camera," Mark pouted, giving it a quick hug. Collins and Benny laughed.

"No, seriously. You do shoot some great footage. It would be so much better on a better camera."

"Nah, I like my camera."

"Are you sure? I mean I'm sure—" Mark looked up and gave him 'the look'. Benny and Mark had the 'camera' conversation many times before. And no matter how many times they had this conversation, Mark would always end it with what Collins dubbed 'the look'. Really, it was a glare that said, "Oh my god shut up about my camera or I just might have to hurt you." Since Mark would never actually say that, Collins always explained, 'the look' says it for him. And Collins chuckled at the two former roommates.

"I hear you're getting married to Allison soon." Benny held up his left hand.

"Already taken," and both boys smiled.

"When?" Mark asked, and Benny grinned.

"Three weeks ago. We were planning on having the wedding next week, but we decided to hurry it up." Collins and Mark clapped.

"Finally!" Benny pretended to bow, and smiled.

"It's because no woman can resist my charms, boys. No woman." Mark scoffed.

"How come the first time you hit on Allison, she slapped you?"

"She's fiesty," Benny replied, "and because she loves me so much she couldn't stand it." Mark and Collins exchanged looks. "Hey, hey, it's true!"

"So where'd you get the money from?" Collins asked as they got their orders. "I know Allison's rich, but I also know she wouldn't give you money for nothing." Benny bit into his hamburger.

"I'm workin' for her dad," he said, and Mark's eyes grew wide.

"Her dad! Wasn't that the guy you told us 'is completely evil and is going to be Satan's bitch when he goes to hell'?" Benny nodded.

"The very one. However, Allison said I should get on his good side by joining his real estate company." He took another bite of his hamburger, then grinned. "Do you know I now totally own your building?" Collins smiled.

"No shit?"

"No shit! That's why I'm meeting with her dad today in my oh-so-sexay suit." He winked. "I figured, hey, I could help you guys out since you let me live there, you know?" Mark smiled, ecstatic.

"Wait 'til Roger hears about this! He'll be floored!"

"Where is he? I was hoping for some banter with him before I was called off to meet with Allison's dad." Collins grinned.

"He went to brunch with his girlfriend." Benny raised an eyebrow.

"Brunch? Roger doesn't even know what the fuck brunch is, much less actually participate in it."

"I know."

"And when did he get a girlfriend? Is she drugged or something?" The guys laughed.

"No, it actually looks as if she is sane and sober," Mark replied, "and it looks like she really does like him." Benny shrugged.

"Then I blame it on animal magnetism. That boy's got it." Benny looked at the table, and smiled. "Well, shall we pay the check and go? I want to go see the loft before I have to go."

And so they did just that, and went out the door, Mark resuming to film as they went out the door.


And now, the reviews! I figured I'd put this at the end. And even if you're not listed, everyone who reviews get chocolate (or other tasty things), because it does make me want to write more when I see that. So, thank you, everyone.

L.M. Ward - My first review! LOVE!
To No Absolutes - Mark drunk is always funny in my eyes.
eLpHaBaFaBaLaElPhIeFaE - Yeah, I know it can get pretty confusing. Work with me in the meantime, though; I'll fix the next parts, try and make them less confusing.
Eponine Poe - Yes, I do make grammatical errors all the time. And it really irks me because I only seem to catch them when I go back and read it after it's already uploaded! Gah, it kills me. But I'm glad you like it!

I'm glad everyone thinks it's funny! You know your reviews make me all fangirly. And the parts will get longer, eventually, I promise!
