Cooper and Parker joined the boys, who watched as well, until Portman looked back at them, and waved them over, "Come on you guys!"

The group slowly walked over, feeling a bit shy, with friendly smiles on their faces.

"You guys, this is Parker and this is Cooper," Fulton introduced as he put his arm around the two.

"This is Max, Jess, and Greenberg," Portman thought for a second. "I totally forgot your first name, so I'll just introduce you as Greenberg."

They all laughed, as Charlie held out his hand to all of them,"I'm Charlie. This is Connie, and this is Ken."

Ken and Connie followed, shaking hands with all of them too. Connie shook Parker's hand with a genuine smile, as Parker shook Connie's shyly, with a nervous smile on her face.

"You okay?" Guy leaned down, to whisper to her.

Parker looked up, "She's really pretty." Guy laughed, and Parker pouted.

"Wait," Connie walked towards Portman, and Guy who stood next to each other. "What happen to your faces?"

Portman put a finger on his cut that was still healing, and Guy poked at the bruise that was beginning to fade, "Hockey practice last weekend."

Charlie grimaced looking at them, "That's intense."

"People look pretty angry that we're in a big circle, interrupting the flow of traffic in a very busy airport," Luis said, speaking as fast as he could skate as he was grabbing the shoulder of Ken and Charlie, as a business man cursed trying to get past the group. "Oh, look, he just cursed at us. Let's go get your bags."

"Oh, Ken Wu!" Fulton exclaimed as a suitcase slowly passed him. He grabbed on, but couldn't quite pull it out. Parker, standing next to him, unhooked the part of the suitcase that was caught onto the luggage carousel, and Fulton flew to the ground.

Parker gasped and hurried over to him, "Oh, sorry Fulton." She helped him up.

"It's okay. I got big bruises on my knees, my butt would be a fine addition of color to my pale complexion," Fulton brushed himself off. "Here Ken."

Kenny walked over, and smiled at Parker, "Thanks Fulton."

"Forget it dude, she's taken. She's Asian, too. It's a shame Guy got to her first," Fulton patted Ken on the back, and smiled at Parker, who frowned.

"I wasn't hitting on- . . . . okay," Ken looked at Parker, "So, you go out with Guy?"

"Oh no, no. We're uh, it's uh, hm," Parker thought.

"Oh, still at that stage, right, right," Ken smiled.

Parker smiled back, "I wish I knew Ken Wu, I wish I knew."

"How're you Guy?" Connie asked, as they watched for her bag, which was the only remaining bag to wait for, "I missed you."

"I've been good. Busy though, with hockey practices, school starting and stuff," Guy explained.

"Yeah, college really takes it out of you," Connie agreed. "You must be busier because you have a new girlfriend, too?" Connie smiled at Guy, who looked at her.

"OH! No, no. We're uh, it's uh, hm," Guy paused. "How did you know?"

"You were breaking her fingers off with that grip of yours before," She laughed. "Poor girl."

"Oh no, that was just because I was nervous to see you-" Connie looked up at him. "You guys again."

"Nervous? I thought you'd be excited," Connie looked confused.

"Yes, normal people would get excited; I just got nervous for some reason," Guy shrugged, and looked down at Connie, staring at her, as her eyes followed the circle motion of the luggage carousel. 'This isn't so bad,' Guy thought to himself.

"If it makes you feel better, I was nervous to see you too," Connie admitted. "That was what you were trying not to say, right? You were nervous to see me?"

"Yeah," Guy looked embarrassed. "I don't know, I just was."

"Me too," Connie shared the same embarrassed look as him. "Charlie had to tell me the whole way coming here that it was gonna be fine. That I shouldn't be nervous, and just be excited to see my best friends again."

"That's exactly what Cooper told me," Guy said, and they stood in silence for a few seconds. "I like this."

"Like what?"

"Being friends with you, to just be friends, no romantic attachments, just being friends." Guy smiled to himself, glanced at Connie, before catching eye contact with Parker. Guy winked, and Parker rolled her eyes, then couldn't help but release her smile.

Connie smiled up at him, "Yeah me too." She paused, "Took us long enough."
