By the time the pizza got there, Victoria's face was nearly the same color Lita's hair.. The only thing that kept Lita and Trish from telling stories, was the fact that they had equal amounts of information on each other, hence equal amounts of blackmail material.. And the only thing that saved Victoria from further embarrasment was the arrival of the pizza...the four women settling themselves on the floor in the living room.

Victoria set down her paper plate, "obviously we need a table, a couch.."

"Television, vcr, dvd player and the rest of the stereo system are at my mom's." Lita swept her hair back from her face, "we do have a dining room but, are we going to use it?"

Trish arched an eyebrow, "why wouldn't we?"

"Do you intend on cooking often?" The redhead questioned her best friend, "honestly Trish.. You couldn't make cereal if you tried."

"I can so make cereal."

Lita smirked, "how exactly do you make cereal?"

Before Trish could reply, Mickie spoke up... her expression completely serious. "You put the box next to the milk. I saw it on the Food Channel."

Victoria rolled her eyes at the two blonde women, "you two are not going anywhere near that kitchen. We know Lil can cook, but, I don't want to put all the pressure on her."

Trish nodded to the redhead, "she can cook, she's just too lazy."

Lita stuck out her tongue, "I'm not lazy.. I just work more hours. This year isn't much better."

Mickie canted her head, "what are you majoring in?"

"Music Therapy, my minor was in Speech-Language Pathology," she shrugged before placing her palms flat on the hardwood floor. "I couldn't make up my mind between Music Therapy and Speech Therapy."

Trish wiped at the corners of her mouth before stacking her plate with Victoria's. "Lilian is majoring in Early Childhood and Special Education.. I'm majoring in Social Work."

"And, as you know Mick," Victoria stretched out her legs, "I'm majoring in Occupational Therapy."

The blonde woman nodded slowly, "is that how you all met?"

Lita gestured between herself and Trish, "we grew up together.. Next door neighbors actually." She nodded over to Victoria, "we met her at Freshman Orientation...kinda."

Victoria nearly blushed, "I met Li through her brother."

"He was hitting on her," Trish supplied in a stage whisper, "he stopped hitting on me.. Sophomore year of high school?"

"Something like that," Lita conceded after a moments pause.. "Or summer between Sophomore and Junior."

Mickie frowned in thought, "so he's older then you?"

The redhead nodded, "by two years.. We have the same mom." A beat passed, "he's in the medical program."

"And how did you guys meet Lilian?"

"Freshman Orientation," Lita spoke again, "we were all in the group for future students of Steinhardt."

Trish sent her a questioning look, "what are you majoring in Mickie?"

"Law," the blonde woman shook her head, "but not by my choice.. My dad is a lawyer, my mom is a law professor so, naturally, I had to follow in their footsteps. If there's anything good about it, at least I'm on my own now."

Trish bit her lower lip in thought, "that sounds like Adam actually.. Only, both of his parents are lawyers. He's in the pre-law program too. Well, he's starting it this year since he took a year off before college.."

Mickie brightened slightly, "then I won't be the only degenerate law student. I took a year off before college, basically did nothing."

Trish, Victoria and Lita exchanged a look...Trish speaking first: "Are you single?"

While they didn't have their living room or kitchen furnishings, they at least had bedroom furniture.. The four women calling it a night, but, not before Lilian finally got home. She explained that she had been volunteering that day at the hospital and she would've called, but, they got extremely backed up. In any case, the room-mates parted ways downstairs; Trish, Victoria and Mickie heading to the second floor while Lilian went up to the attic bedroom since she was paying second most in rent. Lita, who was paying the most in rent, had the coveted downstairs bedroom...which also happened to be the biggest.. But, no sooner had the redhead changed into her sleeping clothes, this time a pair of boy shorts and a t-shirt reading: Sarcasm keeps you from telling people what you're really thinking...there was a knock at the door. And a rather persistent one at that. Before she moved from her room, she grabbed
he baseball bat that her brother insisted she take..

Lita blinked at the figure she saw through the stained glass on the door. Setting the baseball bat down before she opened it. "What are you doing here?"

Hunter managed to look somewhat sheepish, "I'm staying at the dorms."

"So?"

"Dorms aren't open yet."

Lita scowled, "and you couldn't go find someone else to bother?"

The blonde man shrugged, "I don't have anywhere else to go."

The redhead frowned, but stepped back from the door, the baseball bat still in hand. "I invite you in, nimrod."

Hunter smiled, motioning for the pair behind him to enter the house first. "I love you too, sis."

Jeff Hardy went first, unphased by the redheads antics, taking the baseball bat from her as he entered.

Randy Orton blinked, the man still standing on the doorstep. "And when exactly did your sister get unbelievably scary?"

Lita glanced back over her shoulder, "I've always been like this, you've just missed it."

Now he seemed really hesitant to take another step, Hunter reaching back to grab his elbow. "Just go inside, she won't hurt you."

The redhead retreated for a moment, to shut the door to her room, "so, how many unwanted houseguests are there tonight, hmm?"

"Uhh.."

Lita rolled her eyes at her brother, "you're in the pre-med program at NYU and yet, you haven't mastered kindergarten math?"

Hunter rolled his eyes right back, "Well there's us three here.. Adam and Dave were following us. But, I'm not sure where they are now.."

"Oh that's really comforting, so Adam and Dave might be wandering around New York City?" Lita crossed her arms over her chest, glancing between the three. "If one of you has something edible, you can stay.. If not," she pointed back to the front door, "don't let the door hit your ass on the way out."

Randy blinked, "you aren't just scary.. You're terrifying."

"Well, considering that it's almost midnight and some of us do have to get up early in the morning." Victoria ran a hand through her hair as she joined the four in the living room, "it's late, why are you idiots here?"

Lita thumbed over to her brother, "numbnuts apparently forgot to find a temporary place to stay until the dorms are ready." She gestured next between the two dark haired males, "as for Frick and Frack? I'm not really sure."

"Peachy," the raven haired woman sighed, "did you bring food? Or better yet...are you three busy tomorrow?"

The guys exchanged wary looks, Hunter speaking first. "And if we are?"

Lita smirked, "cancel your plans. We need to get our furniture moved in."

Hunter groaned, Randy looked ready to protest while Jeff held up a grocery bag. "We have ice cream."

"Is it melted?"

"Not quite, but--"

Victoria flopped down on the floor, "then put it in the freezer." She waited until Jeff had moved before adding: "and no, it doesn't mean you're out of helping us with the furniture."
