Chapter 6
Collins and Maureen both sat there staring at one another.
"So…" Collins said again.
Maureen sighed. "This is stupid I'm not an animal." She then jumped up and started pounding on the door. "I'm not an animal let me out!"
"You sure sounded like one, when you were mooing!" Roger shouted, which made Maureen grimace.
"Maureen you know they are going to keep us in here until we resolve this." Collins said.
Maureen stopped pounding and turned around. "Well…apologize then…"
"What?" Collins asked shocked. "Why do I have to apologize, I didn't even do anything."
"Yes you did!" Maureen shot back.
"Then tell me what I did?" Collins fired back.
Maureen stopped and thought about the question, she started pacing back and forth, as a huge grin grew on Collins face.
"You don't remember do you?" Collins asked with a soft chuckle.
Maureen stopped pacing and eyed the taller man. "So what if I don't…you did something or else we wouldn't be locked up in this bathroom."
"You're just being a drama queen." Collins said.
"That's it!" Maureen said her finger pointing in Collins face. "That's part of the reason…I get sick of being called that."
Collins sighed. "But you are one."
Maureen shrugged. "Well it still hurts to be called one every single day of your life, I'm sorry entire life, since the day you were born…to the day you die…"
"You're starting it again…" Collins warned.
Maureen stopped mid sentence. "Well sorry I'm an actress! I like drama!"
"Then why do you get mad when I call you a drama queen?"
"I don't know…Collins…because…I don't know…I actually don't mind it…that's not the reason I'm mad at you…" Maureen suddenly decided.
Collins shook his head. "Girl you are impossible! Why are you mad?"
Maureen sighed and then a smirk hit her face. "I have no idea…honestly…I can't think of one reason why I would be mad at you…you did nothing to me…"
"PMS?" Collins asked with an understanding nod.
Maureen looked down and shook her head. "Nope…"
"Well," Collins began as he walked closer to Maureen. "If it makes you feel any better I'm sorry, if I did hurt your feelings or what not…"
Maureen jumped in his arms. "I'm sorry too!"
"I just want my best friend back." Collins said into her messy brown curls.
Maureen sniffled. "Me too."
"Friends again?" Collins asked.
Maureen nodded. "Best friends!"
"Now want to go grab a drink?" Collins asked with Maureen still in his arms.
"I would love too!" Maureen said.
"You guys!" Collins knocked on the door. "Let us out, we're friends again."
"How do we know you're not lying?" Angel called out.
"Trust us we're not!" Maureen said.
"That's what you said to me, when you cheated on me." Mark shouted. "Don't trust her!"
"Let us out." Collins said with a chuckle.
Suddenly the door opened a crack, and Joanne peered inside to see Collins arm wrapped around Maureen's shoulders, and Maureen's arm wrapped around Collins waist. Joanne smiled and opened the door, letting the two out.
Everyone eyed the two.
"We're friends!" Maureen said hugging Collins once again.
Mimi still being drunk began clapping. "That was my idea! You guys my idea brought Collins and Maureen back together."
Roger pulled Mimi close. "And the world starts spinning again."
"Lets celebrate!" Collins said as him and Maureen headed to the bar.
Angel and Joanne looked towards each other, and then quickly hugged.
"Thank god that's over." Angel said.
Joanne nodded. "Amen to that."
"Finally the party starts!" Mimi said as she watched Collins and Maureen walk back with drinks in their hands.
"Looks like you didn't have to waste your money on a basket of porn, eh Collins?" Roger said nudging the professor in the ribs.
"Porn?" Maureen asked her ears perking up.
Collins chuckled. "Roger and I were joking about sending you a present, that would help you forgive me for whatever I did…and a basket of porn came up."
Maureen took a sip of her beer, and with a sly smirk said, "If you sent me a basket of porn, I would have been your best friend again the moment I received it. I'm sorry scratch that…I would have became your best friend again the moment I finished watching, and reading them…and taking the after math of it out on Joanne…"
"Okay!" Mark said his hands covering his ears, while everyone laughed. "You two are friends now, that's all the information we need."
Joanne giggled pulling Maureen on her lap. Angel quickly kissed Collins, before sitting on his lap.
"Cheers!" Mimi said holding up a drink. "To things being back to normal…and to my idea!"
"Cheers!" Everyone said.
Then next day Collins and Angel were at Joanne's apartment hanging with MoJo, they were watching a movie, when Maureen declared she was going to go make some more popcorn since they ran out, Collins in turn followed the diva into the kitchen, leaving Angel and Joanne alone in the living room.
"Doesn't popcorn only take three minutes?" Angel asked his eyes still glued on the movie.
"Usually why?" Joanne asked.
"It's been about ten minutes." Angel replied.
A puzzled look crossed over Joanne's face. "You're right…should we check on them?"
Angel nodded, as he stood up, pulling Joanne with him. They both looped arms and slowly headed to the kitchen.
"Come on Maureen you can do it!" They heard Collins shout.
Angel and Joanne both glanced at each other, before bursting into the kitchen to find, Maureen chugging a jug of chocolate milk, while Collins stood back with his eyes on his watch cheering her on.
Soon the milk disappeared, and Maureen brought the empty milk jug down wiping her mouth in the process, her breathing heavy as she eyed Collins. "How'd I do?"
Collins looked at his watch, then back up at her with a giant grin. "You beat your old record!"
"I did?" She asked.
Collins only nodded, and it wasn't long before the two were hugging.
"I knew I would do better with chocolate milk!" Maureen said. "It just taste better!"
Angel then accidentally hit something on the counter, causing a noise, and causing the now friends again to look up at them.
Maureen smiled towards Joanne, a brown milk mustache on her face. "Pookie did you see me?"
Joanne playfully rolled her eyes. "I sure did honeybear."
"Sugar…doesn't your stomach hurt?" Angel asked.
Maureen shook her head. "Never…"
Collins then walked over to the fridge opening it up. "What else can you chug?"
Maureen walked next to him. "I don't know…"
Joanne and Angel just watched as the two searched the fridge.
"Weird." Joanne muttered.
Angel nodded. "Want to go back to our movie?"
"Lets." Joanne said as her and Angel walked back into the living room, setting themselves on the couch.
Maureen and Collins looked at each other.
"I don't understand…Joanne never wanted to time how fast I could drink things." Maureen said.
Collins shrugged. "I know Angel never wanted to participate in any of my dares."
Maureen and Collins just eyed each other, and then smiled before saying at the same time, "Weird."
"Ooo pickle juice!" Maureen said as she grabbed the jar.
"I don't think pickle juice and chocolate milk will mix very good." Collins warned.
Maureen shrugged as she twisted the cap off. "You can always time me throwing up."
Collins frowned but then smiled. "Okay."
It wasn't long before Maureen was hunched over the toilet with Collins holding her hair back, as he timed, and commented on everything that came up, thus completing the rekindling of their friendship.
