"Davis!" Ken called as he let himself in the penthouse. "I got your message. Is there some sort of problem?"
"Hold on. You'll see." Davis said as he showed himself, but he had kiss marks all over his face that he was cleaning with a rag.
"What happened to you?" Ken said.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. No, it was not to brag." Davis said like he knew what Ken was thinking. "Something really weird is going on. Ashely is back in town."
"Ashely?!" Ken said as he was surprised. They haven't heard from Ashely since she had to leave. When that happened, hers and Davis' relationship got a little complicated. "She's really back?"
"Yeah. It started just a few days ago." Davis said.
…
Flashback
Davis was home, but he heard a knock on the door. Davis wasn't really expecting anyone. He answered the door and he was surprised to see it was Ashely.
"Ashely! What are you…." Davis didn't get to finish that as Ashely surprised him again and just kissed him out of nowhere.
End of Flashback
…
"Just like that. She kissed me out of nowhere." Davis said. "It was a little weird. There was no warning, no words, no anything. We didn't even get the chance to just talk."
"Maybe she was just happy to see you after being away." Ken said.
"That's what I thought, but I wanted to really talk to her." Davis said. "So after school, I went to try and talk to her again."
…
Flashback
School ended and Davis was on his way out. Davis snuck his way around the school. Since Ashely is a big celebrity, people would be hounding her. So they needed some privacy. Davis looked around and was able to find her.
"Ashely!" Davis called as he went over to her. "Listen, we really should talk." He didn't get the chance to as Ashely kissed him again.
End of Flashback
…
"She didn't give me the chance. She just kept making out with me." Davis said. "Usually, I would be happy about that, but I feel like something's wrong. It's almost like there's something bothering her."
"Okay. So how have you tried talking to her and resist?" Ken asked.
"I did." Davis said. "I'm weak. This time, I went at her."
"Davis…." Ken said as he thought that was stupid of him.
"What?" Davis said. "I'm a guy and she's a beautiful girl that's also a celebrity. She wanted to constantly make out with me. I couldn't really help it."
"So is that how "that" happened." Ken said as he gestured to Ashely's lipstick over the rag.
"Yeah." Davis said. "I was still trying to talk to her. After being a part for so long, I took her down to the beach, found a nice private spot, and everything went like red and pink after that. Neither of us really talked about what was going on and she used me to test her lipstick. This is only from my face."
"Your face? What do you…. Wait. Never mind. I don't want to know." Ken said. "Look, maybe Ashely just missed you. Don't think too much about it. It is a little weird what she's doing, but you still need to talk to her if you feel like something's wrong. Just go for it."
"I guess you're right." Davis said. "Jason Burner is actually making a reappearance on her show. I'll try and talk to her than. No way she can make out with me if we're there. That is probably the first time a guy wants that to happen with her." Davis just shrugged it off and left the room to get the rest of himself cleaned up. That was when Ken heard a knock on the door. He answered it and saw Yolei.
"Hey." Ken said as he kissed her cheek.
"Hey, Ken. Is Davis here?" Yolei said as she seemed anxious about something.
"Yeah and get this. Ashely is back in town." Ken said.
"She is?!" Yolei said.
"Yeah, but something's going on. She's constantly making out with Davis." Ken said. "Do you really think that's weird or do you think she just missed Davis?"
"I doubt it." Yolei said. Ken was starting to see something was wrong with her.
"What's going on? What do you mean?" Ken asked.
"I think I know why Ashely is doing that. I think she feels guilty." Yolei said as she took out her phone. "Ashely actually made out with another guy last week."
"What?!" Ken said. "She cheated on Davis?! I know their relationship was a little more open, but Davis never did that. He never did anything behind her back. There was that one time it almost happened with Kari, but that was stopped before anything could. Are you sure?"
"Look. My sister was out partying with her friends out of town. We were texting each other this morning. She knew about Ashely going to our school and texted me a photo of this." Yolei said as she showed a picture of Ashely kissing another guy. "I can't believe she would do this behind Davis' back. Since nothing really happened while they were away, I thought they were making things really work. If Davis had done this, he would have admitted it, but she kept this a secret for at least a week. For all we know, this could have been going on the whole time she was gone."
"Oh boy." Ken said as they weren't really sure what to think. Things might have gotten complicated between Ashely and Davis when she left, but this was a line that shouldn't have been crossed. Davis may have almost did, but he was stopped and didn't try anything after that.
"I just don't know how we're going to tell Davis." Yolei said.
"This is bad. Jason is actually making a reappearance on Ashely's show." Ken said.
"He is?! Oh man." Yolei said. "We've got to tell him before he gets on camera. No way he can go through a scene with her if we know what she did."
"You're right. We've got to tell him." Ken said.
"Hey, Ken!" Davis called as he came back in the room. "I think you're right. I'm probably overthinking this whole thing. Ashely was really into me and she's done so much for me. Now that she's back, I should be happy about it."
"Really?" Yolei said and Davis just noticed her.
"Yolei? What are you doing here?" Davis said.
"I need to tell you something." Yolei said, but Ken stopped her.
"She just wants to make sure if it's okay if she comes to the set as Lulu." Ken said. "You know how she gets around celebrities."
"Good point." Davis said. "Its fine, but you better behave yourself, Yolei." Davis left the room and Yolei stared at Ken.
"What are you doing? We have to tell him." Yolei said.
"He seems really happy. Maybe we should just watch and see how things go for them." Ken said. "Besides, you said Ashely might feel guilty. What's more is that those two came close to breaking up last time. If things go like last time, maybe he'll break up with her officially and we'll have nothing to worry about." Yolei wasn't so sure. "Come on, Yolei. The first girl he went out with technically cheated on him. I don't want to hurt my best friend."
"Okay, but I hope you're right." Yolei said. They don't want to hurt Davis, but they don't want to see Davis get hurt. This is going to be hard.
…
The Studio
Davis and the others put their disguises on for Teen Monster Huntress. Since Jason is playing as Dexter again, a small love interest to Ashely's character Vivian, he is actually looking forward to this.
"Hey. Looking good, monster slayer." Miley said as Jason was getting ready.
"Don't get weird." Jason said.
"Hey. No, I'm serious." Miley said. "You look good and you're going to look good on camera. I bet you're excited to be on camera with Ashely again."
"Yep. Last time, I wasn't big on the kiss scene, but I'm cool with it now." Jason said. He was looking forward to this, but not Keith and Lulu.
"I hope you're sure about this." Lulu said.
"I'm sure everything is going to be okay." Keith said. "We'll just keep an eye on Ashely and see how she acts."
"Speaking of the she-weasel." Lulu said as Ashely came over.
"Looking good, monster slayer." Ashely said as she kissed his cheek and placed her arms around her.
"You're looking pretty good yourself." Jason said.
"Of course." Miley said as she saw why he didn't have a problem with Ashely saying that. "If you'll excuse me, I some sweet set food with my name on it." Miley went over to the snack table and left them.
"Hey, Ashely. Let's try and be professional, but after we're done here, you want to grab a private dinner or something?" Davis said. "I'm really hoping we could just talk."
"I can think of other things we can do, but we'll see." Ashely said.
"I'm sure you will." Lulu said with Ashely noticing them.
"Oh… Hi, Keith. Hi, Lulu. Sorry, I didn't see you guys there." Ashely said.
"Bet there are somethings you have seen." Lulu said.
"Excuse me?" Ashely said.
"Easy." Keith said.
"Right. Sorry. I'm just a little on edge." Lulu said. "I'm just…excited to be here, surrounded by these people who work on a great show. However, I do know things are different behind the scenes where some people could "mess" with my friends. So be assure that if anyone does, I will take them down." She said as she was getting in Ahsley's face.
"Down, girl." Keith said as he pulled her back. Jason and Ashely thought they were acting strange, but they decided to just let it slide.
"We need to be on set in a couple minutes. I'll see you there for our little romance scene." Ashely said as she gave him a quick kiss and went on stage.
"Hey, what was that about?" Jason said.
"Nothing." Lulu said, but didn't sound sincere.
"So what do you think of Ashely now?" Keith asked. "Last time, things were getting a little ugly with her."
"I know." Jason said. "Things seem to be going well. I don't know what it is, but she seems a little different." Lulu and Keith may have had an idea. "I think I'm done with this whole partial relationship we have going on. I think I'm going to try and make it a full relationship, give us another chance."
"What?!" Lulu said.
"You seriously want to do that?" Keith asked.
"Yeah. I know things didn't go well last time, but maybe things will be different." Jason said. Keith and Lulu looked at each other and didn't like the sound of that.
"That's it. We can't let him go through with this. He needs to know the truth." Lulu said. "Otherwise, what's to stop her from making the same decision?"
"You're right. He deserves better than this." Keith said.
"What are you guys talking about?" Jason asked.
"My sister sent me a picture of this. It was taken last week." Lulu said as she took out her phone and showed Jason the photo. He couldn't believe his eyes.
"You guys knew about this and didn't tell me?" Jason asked.
"Well, we only knew about it today." Lulu said as she tried to seem innocent.
"We didn't want you to get hurt." Keith said. "We think Ashley feels guilty she did this behind your back. That's why she's constantly making out with you."
"I can't believe this." Jason said. "I thought she really liked me. I know we tried long distance and were little more open about our relationship, but still."
"Are you okay?" Lulu asked as they both felt really bad for him.
"I don't know." Jason said. His brain feels like it's going a mile a minute. "It's confusing and frustrating. I'm not really sure what to think."
"Well, maybe you and Ashely aren't really right for each other." Keith said. "I hate to say it, but whenever you are together like this, it seems to cause some problems. Maybe you two are better off apart."
"Maybe you're right." Jason said. He hated to admit it, but perhaps a relationship with Ashely isn't really worth it. "I just can't believe she did this to me. I know I was close to doing the same thing, but I pulled away. Oh man. I'm giving myself a headache. So now what?"
"Just…try not to let it bother you." Keith said.
"Forget that." Lulu said. "It's not enough that she has a guilty conscious. We need to make this girl pay for hurting our friend like this."
"How?" Keith said. "She's a girl. It's also going to look bad for Jason if he tries to hurt her." Lulu wasn't going to let Ashely getaway with this. She looked around and spotted something that might help.
"Who said that Jason has to do it?" Lulu asked. Once she filled them in on the plan, it was time to start rolling. They were in a scene where Vivian and Dexter just managed to win a big battle.
"Not bad, Dexter. You still got it." Ashely said.
"I never lost it." Jason said. "It's always a good feeling to see these creeps get what they deserve. Wouldn't you think so?" That last line he was trying to say directly towards her.
"I suppose." Ashely said as she placed an arm around him. The crew watched as things were going pretty good. "How about we head back to my place. We can grab some dinner and talk."
"I don't know, "Vivian." I think there are some things left unfinished." Jason said. That was when he started to change things around.
"What do you mean?" Ashely questioned as she didn't understand what was happening.
"I said that it feels good when creeps get what they deserve. This is what you deserve." Jason said as he moved out of the way and Lulu appeared dressed as a monster and started wrestling her. No one that knew understood what was going on.
"Eat it, she-creep." Lulu said as she kept attacking Ashely.
"What's going on?" Miley asked Keith. Keith had a copy of the photo on his phone and showed it to Miley. "That miserable two-timing slithery lousy she-weasel! Pardon my French."
"What?" Keith said.
"I just always wanted to say that last part." Miley said. Now that she knows what's going on, she's enjoying this.
"Should I call cut?" The director questioned.
"Not yet." Miley said.
"Wait! What's going on?" Ashely asked. Jason pulled out the picture as well to show her and now she understands. "Oh…"
"Is that really all you have to say?" Lulu said. "You're lucky this is television!" She kept wrestling Ashely around for her friend and, just like all cheaters, she got what she deserved. After all that, Miley was comforting Jason.
"You okay?" Miley asked.
"Yeah. I just don't understand how she could do this or why I even care so much." Davis said. "I know things were complicated with Ashely, but still."
"Relationships are always hard." Miley said. "She was the first girl you really went out with. It makes sense that seeing her with another guy would bother you since you never really got over her. In time, you will and you'll forget all about it. In the meantime, you have people that will be there for you." Jason was already starting to feel better.
"So what about us?" Keith asked about him and Lulu. They were both worried he was mad at them.
"You're fine. You guys just didn't want to see me get hurt." Jason said. He was thankful for having two caring friends like them.
"Uh oh." Miley said as she saw Ashely coming over.
"Hey. Can we talk?" Ashely asked. Jason thought he owed that much to her as he went to talk to her.
"Care to explain?" Davis said.
"I swear, it was accident. The whole time I was away, I thought about you. I don't even know how it happened." Ashely said. "I'm sorry."
"I believe you're sorry. I believe you love me, but….maybe we're not really right for each other, Ashely." Jason said. "I think it's time we stop with this halfway relationship or whatever you want to call it. Goodbye, Ashely." Breaking up with someone is never easy, but it must be done. Ashely could see she couldn't fix this. So she just walked away in sadness before anything she made things worse.
"You sure you're okay?" Lulu asked.
"Yeah. I got friends to help me." Jason said as he placed his arms around both of them and Miley came in. Girlfriends may kiss and go, but real friends really are forever.
