QUESTIONS & ANSWERS PART 2

Back at G-Major…

Stuart and Victoria just shook their heads in total shock of what they just heard from their youngest daughter. Darius, didn't know what else to say other than, "Portia, I think we're gonna have to be ready to do some damage control after this show." She just nodded at her older brother in agreement. "Alright! Way to go Blondie!" Is all Patsy could say and Speid, Wally and Kyle just hi-fived each other and Karma smacked her husband behind the head for his little antics with the boys.

The girls stood up for a bit to stretch after being seated for a while. "Ted is so going to pick me!" Tiffany claimed excitedly. "What makes you think that?" Caitlin asked annoyed. "Are you kidding?! He was practically speechless towards my responses." Tiffany retorted. "Of course, who wouldn't be? Did you even hear yourself and your answers?" Jude replied, and then Tiffany stated, "And what about your answers Miss Goody Too Shoes? They were long winded and you come with a lot of baggage." "So what?! I'm being honest and if he doesn't like what I come with then it's his loss!" Jude snapped back and returned to her seat on stage.

"ALRIGHT PEOPLE! TAKE YOUR PLACES!" The stage announcer yelled.

"HELLO CANADA!" Joe Began. "NOW TED. YOU HAVE TO TELL US. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OUR BACHELORETTES SO FAR?" "Well, Joe it's still kind of hard to tell at this point. I think we still have a long way to go." Tom said. "CAN YOU GIVE A TINY HINT?" Joe asked. "Ok. Bachelorette #1, let's just say is interesting and a lot like other girls I've met and gone out with in my past. Bachelorette #2, is unique in her own way." "AND WHAT ABOUT BACHELORETTE #3?" Tom was looking down at his hands, grinned and shook his head and then looked up at Joe, "Bachelorette #3 is definitely a challenge for me and very different from other girls I've met." Tommy lastly commented.

"TED, READY FOR QUESTION #3?" "Sure am!" Tom answered.

"Ladies, what is the ONE thing that you CANNOT live without? Bachelorette #1, let's start with you."

(thanks to tommyqforever)

Tiffany: I totally couldn't live like with out my lip gloss. It's the perfect shade of bubble gum pink! I feel naked without it.

"Bachelorette #3, your turn, the ONE thing you CANNOT live without."

Jude: Easy, I couldn't live without my music. My music is who I am and I am a part of my music.

"And Bachelorette #2, the ONE think you CANNOT live without."

Caitlin: My books. There is not one single moment in time that I do not have a book with me. I love to read!

"GREAT ANSWERS LADIES! TED, YOUR NEXT QUESTION PLEASE."

"Most women had dreamt of their "DREAM WEDDING" since they were little girls. Describe your dream wedding for me. Bachelorette #2, you first." (thanks to juicyberribaby)

Caitlin: I've always dreamt of my wedding to be extravagant since I plan on only getting married once, I don't care what the cost is, I just want it to be the best. I want tons of flowers everywhere, steak and lobster at the reception, the most expensive whine there is and a wedding cake to die for. I want the most expensive and beautiful white gown ever. I would be in a carriage pulled by horses just like Cinderella and swans in a pond, and dove and butterflies released everywhere. "Very nice." Tom commented.

"Bachelorette #1, describe your dream wedding."

Tiffany: My dream wedding is quick and cheap. I don't want to get all dressed up and made up. I want a Vegas chapel wedding, to be married by an Elvis minister, followed by a night of non-stop partying and bar hopping. "Thank you, thank you very much." Tom said but holding in his laughter be he wanted to do the voice of Elvis when he said 'thank you.'

"And Bachelorette #3, what is your dream wedding."

Jude: As Jude speaks she closes her eyes Honestly, I never thought about a dream wedding when I was little, my sister did that. But when I was a little girl my sister use to take me to this little church by my family's old farm house in the country. She would take me to the church just to watch the weddings there, but I only went along because I loved the sound of the organ playing. Jude began to think about the time that she and Tommy went to that church, shared that kiss and finally decided they were going to be together as a couple Lately, I have been imagining getting married in that same church, with sunlight shining through the stained glass windows. I just want only family and the closest of friends, with their faces all smiling at me and the man that I love. I want is to be a small yet simple intimate wedding with the organ playing and the church bells ringing. But now I'm not so sure, I've grown and matured over the years, and the way I see it, it's really not all up to me. It would also be what my future husband wants, after all our life together will be about compromise and collaboration. What a better way to start building our life together then by planning our wedding together. "You're right, and I totally agree with you." Tom stated. "Agree with me on exactly what, the wedding or starting life together?" Jude wondered. Tommy chuckled and replied, "Well on both, the wedding in the country sounds great. My grandfather had a house in the country that I use to go to when I was a kid. And I agree with you on the starting life together part." "Oh, ok." Is all Jude said and the audience began to applause.

"TED QUESTION #5, PLEASE." "Right. Question #5, do you believe in SOUL MATES? Bachelorette #3, let's start with you this time." (thanks to angelicamber2008)

Jude: Actually, I do believe in soul mates. I believe there are two specific people who are meant to be together and there will be obstacles that get in the way to pull them apart, but somehow, someway their paths will eventually cross and unite them as one. These two people are two halves of a whole, kind of like a broken heart, As Jude explains this she looks down as her necklace and places her hand above it. On the other side of the wall Tommy is doing the same. These two broken pieces are a perfect fit like a puzzle, you can't just put any piece and force it together, these two pieces once finally brought together will never be pulled apart, they are bonded forever. "Wow! That is one very deep answer. Thank you." Tom stated. "Your welcome Jude replied."

Lindsay and Steven are behind the studio audience observing the actions of Jude and Tommy. Lindsay spoke, "I think those two have something very special and close to their hearts. Don't you?" "Yea," Steven replied and continued, "remember that necklace I gave you on your 17th birthday?" "I do. I wear it all the time." Lindsay replied pulling the necklace out and showing it to Steven and he repeated her actions. "Really? So do I." The couple smiled at each other not knowing that this gesture between them existed.

Tommy shook his head to bring himself out of his reverie, "Alright bachelorette #2, do you believe in soul mates?"

Caitlin: No, not exactly. I believe you end up with whoever you're supposed to end up with. If you're proposed to by that certain someone and as long as you love each other, then that's who your supposed to marry. "So you don't believe in having a special connection with that person you're supposed to be with?" Tom asked. "No, I believe it's all about love." "Don't you think there's more than one kind of love?" "No not really. The only other kinds of love I see as different are the ones you have for your family and friends, other than those there is no other different kind of love." "Thank you," was Tom's final reply.

"Bachelorette #1, what about you, do you believe in soul mates?'

Tiffany: I don't care about being soul mates. As long as Mr. Right comes along for me, has money, worships me and the ground that I walk on and he says he loves me and buys me whatever I want, that's who I'm gonna marry. "Oookay," is all Tom could say and thought 'damn this girl has no heart.'

"THANK YOU TED AND LADIES! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS."

As soon as the commercial break began Kwest went to Tommy and Sadie and Mason went to Jude.

"So T, what do you think so far?" Kwest began. "Well you know at first I hated this idea, but now it's kind of interesting, especially since I have no idea what these girls look like." "How do you fee about the girls so far?" "My god, Kwest, #1, I think she's some kind of blonde bimbo." "And #2." "She interesting to say the least." "And what about #3?" Kwest asked knowing who bachelorette #3 was. "She is definitely a challenge, but she's also very deep, in touch with her emotions ya know her inner self, and she shows so much passion for music. Honestly, she reminds me of Jude." "Well T, ya never know this mystery girl maybe the one for you." "Yea, ya never know." Tom said and was suddenly feeling guilty as if he was betraying Jude.

"So how am I doing guys?" Jude asked excitedly. "Jude hun, you're doing great!" Sadie exclaimed. "Girl, it really sounds like your answering from the heart." Mason remarked. "Well, yea I am Mase. He wanted the truth, so that's what I'm giving him, answers from my heart are the truth." "And when did you become so smart?" Sadie asked her little sister. "Hey! I've always been smart! And besides, I have this weird feeling about this Ted guy." "What kind of feeling?" Mason questioned while looking at Sadie. "I don't know, but it's not a bad feeling, it's definitely good, but I just don't know yet."

"PLACES EVERYONE!" The stage announcer called. "WE'RE COMING BACK FROM BREAK IN ONE MINUTE"
