I'm not gonna lie. Part of me was a bit bummed out when I found out Phantom didn't have a thing for me. I mean we totally flirt all the time so I think it was okay for me to think he liked me. I wonder what this other girl is like. He never mentioned- well we never really talked about lives before... I wonder if she was from when he was alive? Maybe she was someone who he didn't have romantic feelings for? Nah, he definitely is in love with this girl, I could see it in his eyes... They were burning brighter and were full of worry but also softness? I don't know they were eyes! But I do want to help him. Mostly because how could I not? He is so worried for this girl which brings me to the second reason: this just reassured me that Vlad Masters is more than what he seems and a bad guy. I have to protect this girl for Phantom. I have to help him because even though we have a... strange relationship, I know he would help me if I ever needed it.

Now the hard part: how the fuck am I going to be there as Sam and Spectra?

Valerie and I were both wrapped up in blankets and curled up on our chairs in my basement. Perfect Day faded out as the credits started rolling.

"I forgot how much I loved that movie" Val said smiling.

"How did you like it?"

"It was actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be. At first I was a bit creeped out how she followed him to Harvard and all but when she started working really hard just to show him up that was great... Dang that was actually really good ." I said smiling. I don't remember the last time I watched a movie with just one friend, it was nice.

"You know what else was good?" Valerie added.

"The fedex guys ass"

I laughed.

"I identify with Paulette's bend-and-snap, I would also break someone's nose."

Val laughed then her eyes got wide then suddenly started to laugh harder.

"SAM SAM SAM SAM SAM!"

"What?" I asked suspiciously.

She calmed her laughing down a bit then said.

"What would I have to give or do for you so that you do a bend-and-snap in front of Danny?"

I felt my face heat up instantly.

"Nothing because its not going to happen."

"Awww come on! He is so clueless and klutzy his response would be hilarious!"

I thought about it, I mean I'm not going to lie, I like getting attention from him and it would be fucking hilarious to see his response but that would require me to actually try to act sexy which might be a disaster.

"Tell you what, I will do it-"

"YES!" Valerie exclaimed.

"BUT! You have to make a move on Tucker." I smiled mischievously. Her smile faltered and she started to pout.

"That's not fair! I'm not asking for you to give him a lap dance or anything! Just drop something then bend and snap!"

"I'm not saying you need to become his girlfriend right now or anything but just like, I don't know! Ask him out to coffee, just say something like, 'Hey, wanna get coffee?' I don't know! But you know he wants to ask you out he just doesn't know how to"

Valerie sighed.

"I know…"

"What's the problem? Do you not like him that way?" I asked.

Valerie picked up one of the pillows and smashed it into her face.

"No I do like him. Why do boys suck?" She moaned muffled by the pillow.

"That's always a good question" I fell back in my chair.

"Fine" She said dropping the pillow down.

"You bend-and-snap for Danny and I ask Tucker out for coffee. Why do you have the easy one?" She said throwing the pillow at me.

"Because I'm awkward as hell, Danny is Captain Clueless and you and Tucker have been flirting for who knows how long and you both know you want to go out with the other, so really you win here."

Valerie and I smiled at each other. I think in that moment we both were just full of happiness and love, not because of the boys but because we both finally had found a friend who we could talk to about anything and not worry about being judged.

It was about 11am when my mother came downstairs.

I for one was surprised since she never came into the basement, let alone even was aware we had a basement that was used for something other than for storing the wine and brandy.

"Sammiekins! Valerie! Time to get up!" My mother said as bright and cheery as ever.

"Mom... why did you wake us up?" I grumbled.

"I had Susan make you all some pancakes and fruit for breakfast then we three are going shopping!"

Valerie, my mother and me.

Together.

Shopping.

The fuck?

Sorry that there hasn't been an update in a while family stuff and school.

But I have a super long break and I already have the next few chapters ready so I will be trying to get those out like every other day or something (no promises on that) but I will get out everything I have right now by the end of my break!
