Authors Note: Sorry for the short, and slow update everyone. I'll try to get better at updating soon, I swear! I would update this weekend but I'm leaving for Chicago (a week too late, eh?) on Friday so I've been pretty busy getting ready for that the past couple days. But good news for everyone is that I'll only be there one night, so expect an update Sunday night or Monday. Phew, That was long LOL. Thanks for the reviews, I love hearing from everyone so much and I LOVE how much you guys like this fic. When I started it I never thought that you guys would think so highly of it and everything. I appreciate it SO much. Especially since I've been bummed the past couple days after finding out about Randy's suspension. Let's all hope that he's able to come back soon and he doesn't get into any more trouble.

What will everyone think when I tell them about Randy? Will they believe me that he is actually a nice guy? What will happen with him and Evolution? "Have a lot on your mind?" He asked me as he brushed a stray piece of hair away from my face.
"Yeah, sorta." I responded with a smile.
"Don't worry about it. Just live in the moment." He told me as the car stopped and we were in front of the infamous zoo. Randy paid the cab driver and we got out and entered the zoo. This zoo was incredible. Everything was so beautiful, there were flowers blossoming everywhere. And of course, the animals. To the left of us was some chimpanzees, and to the right was two tigers.
"Oh! The tigers were always my favorite! Let's go see them!" I said as I grabbed Randy's hand and drug him over to the tigers. He just chuckled.
"I never really pictured you as someone who's favorite animal was a tiger." He said as I looked at the tigers in awe.
"Yeah, what did you picture me as then?" I asked as I looked at him.
"Hmm...maybe someone who liked little fluffy bunnies..." Randy said jokingly with a smile as I took my hand and whacked his arm with it.
"Well what is your favorite animal, Mr. Legend Killer?" I asked him.
"I always like snakes. I actually have one at home." He said. "She's my baby."
"A snake?" I said with a giggle. "What's her name?" I asked him teasingly.
"Kate." He said as he proceeded to pull out his wallet and opened it up. The first picture that he had in his wallet was the snake.
"You keep a picture of her in your wallet?" I asked him as I looked at the picture.
"I told you she was my baby." He said with a smile. As he took the wallet back from me to put it away, it slipped out of his hands. I picked it up and there was a picture of a beautiful girl. She looked to be about twenty or so.
"Who is she?" I asked him, now confused. Is that his girlfriend?
"That's my sister, Maggie." He said with a sigh. Why was he sighing? Did he get along with her? I would be devastated if I was arguing with any of my sisters.
"Do you get along with her?" I asked him.
"Most of the time, yeah." He said as he looked upset.
"Is that why you were upset that one day?" I asked him as I took my hand and placed it on his arm.
"...Yeah, she isn't really making the best choices right now in her life. You see, this guy that she is going out with, Charlie, is in prison for up to 7 months on the charge of grand theft auto. But before he went to jail, he got my sister pregnant. She refuses to break up with him even though I swear this guy is a pot head. So a little over a week ago she moved to Houston so she could be near him while he is in prison. She is 5 months pregnant and she is going to have the baby alone. I just don't understand, we were so close when we were growing up and now she's ruining her life." He told me.
"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry Randy. I couldn't imagine what I would do if my sister did something like that." I said as I looked at him.
"Let's just forget about it. I want to have a good time and I know I'm not going to if I'm too hung up on it. Why don't we head over to the reptile house?" He said as a smile crossed his face.
"Whatever you say snake boy." I said with a smile of my own. After proceeding to walk around the zoo for another 2 hours, we decided to stop at a small pond filled with koi fish before we went back to the hotel.
"I've had a really fun time with you today Trish." Randy told me as he held one of my hands.
"I had a good time too." I said as I stared at the fish in the pond. "What's going to happen when we get back?"
"What do you mean?" He asked me as he turned and looked at me.
"Well, it's not like our friends exactly get along with each other or anything. Like how is this going to work?" I said as I concentrated on one fish in particular. What was going to happen? Even though I know what Randy is like, my friends definitely do not. And for some reason I highly doubt that they are going to be wanting to spend any time with him, or want to listen to me about him after they already told me that he's a jackass.
"Trish, I promise you" he said as he put his hand underneath my chin and tilted my head so I was looking at him "I promise you that no matter what happens when we get back that I'm going to do everything in my power to make things work with you. It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. As long as we are happy, they should be happy for us."
"You're right." I said with a smile. Before I knew it Randy leaned down and kissed me. Now this wasn't just any normal kiss. I can honestly say that I've never felt such a connection with anyone before. It was one of those kisses where it just takes your breath away. It was utterly amazing.
"I always am" He said playfully with that cocky grin of his after our little make-out session was over.. "Now we better be getting back to the hotel. We have a plane to catch."
