I don't own anything or anybody ... no I don't own Disney or That's So Raven.

"Whoa Baxter what do you say to that, you see I ain't never liked that girl Chantel and now I know why . Oh Es Una lastima, pero no importa. I mean that girl is history Eddie totally loves you I think he was just nervous about having sex because he didn't want to get hurt again you know." It was the next afternoon and Raven and Alana where surprisingly hanging out after school together. They had really started to click with each other and since Eddie was working on his music with Nick and Chelsea was off saving a Rain forest somewhere Raven decided to confide in Alana, something she still couldn't believe she was doing. Talking to Alana surprisingly calmed Raven though, they really had a lot in common, perhaps that's why they used to have so many problems getting along before. "You know Raven I never told anybody this but me and Devon have been having sex since last October."

"What, I thought you had lost your virginity a couple of months ago." Raven said kinda shocked."

"Actually Raven, and I'm only telling you this cuz I trust you I didn't lose my virginity to Devon I was Raped in the eight grade by my older cousin's boyfriend. I got pregnant to but ... I lost the baby, I mean of course it wasn't meant to be cuz of the circumstances but it still hurts I was young but it still hurts. Devon was the only guy I trusted after that I love him so much that we did it after only a week of going out we always use protection you know but I swore to myself If I were to ever get pregnant again I would do everything in my power to make sure my baby is born healthy and in one peace." Alana was in tears from the memory but Raven slightly felt honored that Alana trusted her enough to confide her secrets in her.

"It's ok Alana your secret is safe with me I mean my dad is and alcoholic junkie who hasn't been working in over a year, he beats the shit out of my mom and she doesn't do shit about it. My brother smokes so much weed I think he has it flowing through his veins instead of blood, I mean Eddie is all I have really I think that is one of the reasons I love him so much. He is always there for me when I need him just like Devon is for you. We are lucky to have such great men in our lives." Alana looked at Raven as she dried her tears she had no idea that Ravens home life was such a mess whenever she saw The Baxter's they always seemed so happy. It was true though they were very lucky to have such wonderful men in their lives.

A few weeks had passed and the end of school was quickly approaching. It was Sunday morning and everyone was gathered at Pizza loft for the new roll out meeting.

"Well staff it is Sunday May 28. I don't want to be here this early anymore than you I have Jesus I wanna be at church but we need to learn the new menu items. I don't have time for lally gaggin, for laziness, you can take all of that to the unemployment line thousands of people down there would give an arm to have your jobs..."

Did Sean ever say anything relevant. Did he have to start every sentence with a threat of termination. Eddie and Raven had been passing notes back and forth throughout the meeting to keep from falling asleep and Chelsea and Nick had been playing footsie the whole time as well.

"To wrap this meeting up Erica and Shimi loo will soon be leaving us awww it's so sad we know so what does that mean. TWO count them Two manager positions will be opening up so if you are at least 18 and have a car you are eligible. That concludes the meeting now either get out or get to work."

"Hey Eddie, Nick you guys should apply for the manager positions," Erica walked over and said enthusiastically.

"Yeah you would make great managers," Tiffany added.

"Ha ha, could you see us running this joint my man we could play real music have freestyle Friday have dance contest make it totally dope." Nick said excitedly

"First of all Nick you would be hourly managers not owners you still have to follow by Sean and Pizza lofts rules." Raven said crushing Nick's dreams quickly.

"My Baby's right who wants to be a manager anyway all you get to do is send people to the unemployment line." Eddie and everyone laughed at his imatation of Sean. While everyone else talked about the glitz and glamor of being in charge Eddie and Raven sneaked back into the locker room and locked the door Eddie smiled as he pulled a condom out of his pocket and allowed Raven to gently put it on. In the past couple of weeks they had fired their love life up all over town literally. They always wanted each other and if they could find a private place nothing could stop them from getting freaky.
