Disclaimer: I do not own any of the ducks, just the original characters.

A/N: Thanks for the reviews, they were lovely. As I said, finals were finished today (thank God) and I'm ready to spread some cheer. Enjoy the new chapter. ') I don't know if I'm going to be able to update in a bit, because I'm going to be on vacation and I can't bring my laptop with me. I was really hoping that I could bring it along for the trip though. But when I can get to a computer, I'll definitely try to update a bit. Keep the reviews coming, because they're keeping me motivated to update and keep going. By any chance, does anyone wanna get me Guy for Christmas? That would be nice. No takers? I figured. Happy Holidays readers.

"Is it safe to go out now?" Luis asked Jess who looked at Greenberg, and Greenberg didn't answer.

The apartment door slammed, and Greenberg stood up from the chair he was sitting on, "Now it is." All the boys slowly came out of the Jess's room and walked into the kitchen.

"The fight wasn't that bad." Fulton opened the fridge. "Not the best, but not that bad."

Jess took a plate out of the cabinet, "Oh no, not bad at all. They're always uncomfortable though, like if you're just sitting there watching them, they won't notice you for a while, but after a few minutes they look at you and you swear they're gonna tear your head off. Then they'd start another fight on whose going to detach it."

"That's a nice example," Luis said while getting an Eggo to warm up.

"Do they fight for a long time? Like is it going to be a whole lot of, "Fulton paused. "You know, them wanting to pull our heads off and fighting on who gets to do it."

Jess chugged his orange juice, "Oh no, it's going to be ten minutes to cool down, someone calls the other one and they argue for ten minutes, then it's the make-up and problem solving or just letting it go for the last ten minutes of it."

"Yeah, been together for way too long to have day fights," Greenberg added.

"Where's Parker?" Jess looked around.

Greenberg stuffed his mouth with cereal and mumbled, "Subject change."

"No, because if Parker isn't here, then I have to go do the best friends stuff." Jess rolled his eyes. "I suck at that stuff when it comes to comforting Cooper."

"You suck at comforting," Greenberg corrected.

Fulton shrugged, "I'll try."

"Really?" The guys turned their heads towards Fulton, "Cooper's difficult when it comes to Maxwell," Jess warned. "Usually Parker can only take care of it."

Fulton shrugged, and walked towards the door. "She won't physically hurt me, right? " No answer. "Well that's comforting."

"I am going to go home, get ready for work." Greenberg put his bowl in the sink and grabbed his jacket. "Later," He walked out the door.

"I really should tell him about Parker and Guy being," Jess paused to think.

Portman made air quotes, "Just friends."

"Yeah, that. I should get ready for work too. Yell if Cooper kicks Fulton out of the room, I'll try to tackle the beast after that." Jess walked to his room.

"How are you and Katie man?" Luis asked Portman who sat on the stool Jess left.

"They seriously have to get more chairs," Portman commented. "I don't know man, I keep trying to call her, but her roommate always says she's out."

Luis looked sympathetic. "Maybe she just doesn't want to talk to you, and not out with guys." Portman growled. "Right… not the right thing to say, continue."

Portman rolled his eyes. "I'll try again tonight."

"That's the spirit! It takes persistence man."

"Right," Portman turned his head to Mendoza. "What about you? Any girls you like around here?"

"That's a great question Portman. Well I've only met two girls in the city, and they're taken. So that's a great question Dean Portman. The answer is no."

Portman glared. "You could've just said no, ass."

Fulton and Cooper came out of the room; Fulton didn't look beat up, and Cooper didn't look upset. Mission accomplished.

"You okay Coop?" Portman asked.

She smirked, "Yeah, Max is coming back now. " She patted Fulton on the back. "Kid's a pretty good Parker."

"Aw Fulton," Luis cooed. "You're such a great girl."

Fulton smiled. "I'll still beat the crap out of you if I wanted to, Mendoza."

"Duly noted." Luis's Eggo popped out of the toaster.

Parker grabbed her cell phone from inside her black bag. "Oh man, Cooper texted me, she and Maxwell had a fight this morning."

"That sucks." Guy looked down towards Parker, "They okay now?"

"Oh yeah, only thirty minute fights those two." Parker scrolled down. "She had Fulton to talk to. Hm, very nice Reed, very nice."

"Fulton's great at being a best fri-," Guy looked up, catching eye contact with Greenberg, who was walking down the street. "Oh shit."

"What?" Parker looked up at Guy, and then saw that Greenberg was walking towards them with the fakest smile on, and questioning eyes. "Oh shi- Greeney! Hey!"

"Hey guys." He was still smiling. "What's up?"

Silence.

"Oh, uh, just got out of class," Guy answered," You?"

"Lunch break from work. You guys have classes at the same times?"

Greenberg looked Parker in the eye because he knew she couldn't lie to him. "No." She looked at Guy, "He went to my early class, and I went to his."

"Oh, that's cool." Greenberg plastered the fake smile on his face again. "Well I gotta get going. I can't go back to Jess's tonight, I got work to do at home, so I'll see you guys later."

"Oh." Guy looked down at Parker. "Yeah, we'll see you tomorrow then?"

"Sure, later guys." He walked past Guy as Parker sighed, shaking her head.

Guy turned his head back to see Greenberg with his hands in his pockets and his head facing down. "Yeah… he's always gonna hate me."
