A/N: I'm not sure if I should be worried or happy that no one has reviewed this. Oh well... Onto the next chapter...

Later that night, Tyler sat on his bed with his laptop open sitting on his lap when Reid walked in. He looked up and Reid smiled.
"I take it things when well with the brunette from the library?" he asked as he looked back down at his laptop. Reid flopped on his bed and he sighed contentedly.
"Better than well. She may actually make it onto the call back list." Tyler chuckled to himself. The 'call back list' was a relatively short one as Reid never stayed with one girl long enough to get attached. He should have just called the damned thing the 'Booty Call list' because in truth, that's all it really was. "What are you working on over there?"
"Um, looking around at prices for hosting of your website. Any idea what you want to call it?"
"Absolutely. The Girls of Spenser. See if that's available for a domain name." Tyler looked over at Reid and scratched his head.
"You're positive you really want to do this?"
"Yes. At 19.95 for a subscription and with as many guys as there are that aren't getting laid around here, it's a fucking gold mine. Just make all the domain information and stuff as private as possible. If I'm gonna get caught, I don't want it to be too easy to find me." Reid grinned and Tyler raised an eyebrow.
"You have absolutely no morals do you?"
"Let me think... Nope." Reid laughed as he got up off his bed. He proceeded to get undressed as he walked to the bathroom that the two boys shared. "Why are you so scared of all of this anyway? I told you I would take the fall if we get caught."
"Yeah, I know, but something just feels really off about this whole situation. I mean, I kinda feel like we are exploiting the girls on campus just so you can make some money. Which, by the way, you don't really need." Reid poked his head out of the bathroom.
"You're right, I don't need the money, but I would be a fool if I didn't follow this idea."
"No, you are a fool for following it." Reid raised an eyebrow and cocked his head slightly.
"What does that make you then?" Tyler looked up and sighed.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. One of us has to have a conscience about this though. If it's not going to be you, it might as well be me."
"Alright then Jimminy, get to work on the web space thing then. The sooner you get all that done, the sooner you can wash your hands of the whole thing. Am I right?" Reid pulled his head back into the bathroom.
"Yeah, you are." Tyler looked back down at his laptop screen and scrolled through search results on DogPile for hosting sites.
Three days later, Reid, Tyler and Amy, the poor girl Reid had roped into helping switch the teddy bears, sat in the boys' dorm room looking through a box of bears. Amy picked up one of the bears and smiled.
"These are so cute. Can I have one Reidy?" she asked in a voice that could best be compared to the sound of nails raking down a blackboard. Tyler cringed a little at the sound of her voice as did Reid. "Pleeeease?" Tyler put his thumb and forefinger on the bridge of his nose aware that if the girl had kept talking a headache would soon follow. A small giggle escaped his lips.
"Reidy?" Tyler said while trying to hold back a laugh... A very big laugh.
"Shut up, Baby Boy." Reid growled. The girl snickered as she looked at Tyler.
"Your nickname is Baby Boy?" she asked innocently. Tyler felt the familiar heat coming into his cheeks at the mere mention of the nickname in the presence of someone that wasn't a part of the inner circle that he, Reid and their friends, Caleb and Pogue were. Reid cleared his throat and looked at the blonde-haired girl.
"I'll see what I can do about getting you one of these. Until then, these are for the fund raiser on Tuesday," Reid said slowly so the girl would understand him. "You're sure that we can get into the Activities Center and add these to the bunches of bears and shit going out on Valentine's Day?"
"Yeah. I have the key. I am in charge of making sure all the bears, flowers and candy have name tags on them and that the class the recipient will be in is on there." She smiled and Tyler could swear that with each word the girl said, his ears would bleed just a little bit. She looked over at the alarm clock that sat on Reid's nightstand and jumped up. "I really have to go. Curfew is in like ten minutes." Reid got up and Tyler just smiled at the girl. Smiled because he was damn glad that she would soon be gone. Reid walked her to the door and opened it. "So, will I get to see you tomorrow? Meet in the library?" Tyler raised an eyebrow as he looked up at the two people in the doorway.
"Um, I might be busy. I'll give you a call." She smiled sweetly.
"Alright Reidy." Tyler snickered and Reid glared at him. Reid kissed Amy's cheek and she walked out. He closed the door and a loud laugh burst forth from Tyler's lips.
"Shut up." Tyler continued to laugh, tears now beginning to escape from his eyes.
"Okay, Reidy." Reid walked over and sat next to Tyler.
"Will you be serious for a minute?" Tyler wiped his eyes and tried to hold in the few little giggles that threatened to escape his lips.
"Where in the hell did you find her? And how in the hell can you actually sleep with her when she sounds like that with her normal speaking voice?"
"I happened to bump into her in the cafeteria. She really is very sweet, you know. And for your information, she doesn't sound like that in the heat of passion..." Reid looked down. "She's much worse." That was it. Tyler let forth a loud laugh and fell back onto the floor.
"You sure know how to pick 'em." Tyler sat back up and wiped his eyes again. He took a deep breath and tried to quell the last few laughs that were bubbling up. "Okay, so..." He giggled. "Um, usually these things work by recording to a VCR, how are they supposed to work like a web cam?" Reid picked up one of the bears and looked at it.
"My hook-up did all the rewiring and everything for them. The only problem that I foresee us having would be where the girls put them in their rooms. We could end up with them sitting on desks, on beds, chairs, in trunks... anywhere."
"I guess we should pray that they end up somewhere the cam will be able to get a good picture."
"That might be a good idea. Or we could..." Reid's sentence trailed off.
"No. I agreed to help you with this idiotic idea, but using to get the perfect cam angle, that is where I have to draw the line."
"Fine, you won't. I will." Tyler sighed.
"Why do I even bother sometimes?" Reid began to laugh.
"I wonder that every-damn-day." They finished inventorying the bears and boxed them back up. Tyler sat on his bed. "So, what do we do now?" Reid lifted himself from the floor and stretched.
"Nothing until Tuesday. The website is all set, just need the feeds from the bears. Everything else is taken care of."
"Nicky's?" Tyler nodded.
"Sounds like a plan."
