April 18th

KRISTEN: You're joking

MASSIE: Nope

DYLAN: Are you sure?

MASSIE: Yup

ALICIA: And you're okay with this?

MASSIE: . . .

ALICIA: I knew it!

DYLAN: Its cuz of Nina, huh?

MASSIE: well....yeah

KRISTEN: but this is CLAIRE'S cousin we're talking about here. As in Disney Claire. Flordia Claire. How bad could her cousin be?

ALICIA: A cousin from CALIFORNIA?!

DYLAN: Yea, for all we know this chick could be a crazy, perma-tanned control freak who drinks and smokes and--

CLAIRE: Hey guys? Are you going to stop conferencing about Rory or what?

Claire looked at them with one blonde eyebrow raised. The other girls guiltily looked up from their cell phones.

"Ehmagawd Kuh-laire! We were so NOT talking about your cousin"Massie snapped.

"Uh huh. Sure." Claire made a grab for Dylan's phone.

"Hey!" the redhead squealed as Claire wrestled the phone away from her.

Claire's bright blue eyes scanned the phone's screen. She rolled her eyes. She looked at Alicia.

"And what does the fact that Rory is from California have to do with anything?" She asked dryly.

"Erm..well..you know" Alicia muttered.

"No. I don't"Claire struggled to keep control over her temper.

Massie threw her arm around Claire's bony shoulders.

"I LOVE sassy you!" Massie said.

Claire's eyes softened.

"Sorry," she said,"Its just that, Rory and me are really close. She's like my best friend"

Massie froze. She's like my BEST FRIEND. She moved away from Claire and flipped her shoulder length hair. Claire realized her mistake. Three pairs of eyes were on her and Massie was staring out the window.

"I mean, my best friend after you guys", Claire said carefully.

Massie let out he breath she had been holding. Kristen reached over and lightly punched Claire on the arm.

"Good" she said with a grin.

"So she's gonna be here for how long?" Dylan asked.

"Uh, three and a half months" Claire said to her navy moccasins.

Kristen whistled."That's a long time."

"But not as long as Nina the Obscena was here", Dylan said with a toothy grin.

Massie's head snapped up. She shot an icy look toward Alicia. Even though it had been almost a year since Alicia's cousin had almost ruined her life, the mere mention of the boy-crazy cat burglar still stung like a bikini wax gone wrong. Alicia who had caught the icy glare looked at Claire in hopes of changing the subject.

"So, how are you and Cam?"

Claire smiled her first genuine smile since they had gotten into the car a half an hour earlier.

"Peachy keen!" Claire said giddily.

"Ehmagawd," Massie said suddenly,"did you seriously just say peachy keen?"

"Yes." Claire dead-panned. Massie rolled her eyes and poked Dylan.

"So how's the new diet going?"

"What new diet?"

All four girls slowly turned and stared at the gusty redhead.

"What?!" Dylan asked.

"If you're not on a diet," Alicia said slowly,"then how is it that you lost five pounds since last week?"

"Um...exercise." Dylan said firmly.

"But you HATE exercise!" Kristen said.

"Yeah well, our president said to exercise and you know how patriotic I am" Dylan said.

"Bull!" Alicia proclaimed. "Dyl, do you even know who our current president is?"

"Er....gee I sure do hope that Rory isn't a skank!" Dylan said.

Claire rolled her eyes.

"Okay, we're here!" Isaac called from the drivers seat

Massie's face visibly brightened. They had arrived. At the mall. Or heaven. Who cared? All that mattered to her at that moment was that she was at her favorite place in New York with her favorite people. She would deal with the Rory stuff later. Massie was the first out of the black Range Rover.

Massie fell on her purple duvet. She sighed and pulled out her Palm Pilot. The day's shopping excursion had been extremely successful. She\glanced at the mountain of shopping bags that she had dropped on her carpet. She quickly summed up th day's events in one of her infamous In/Out Lists.
