About five hours later, Candice slowly opened her eyes, she jumped as she saw Maria's face appear in front of her.
"Get up, missy!!!"
"W-what are you doing here? How did you even get in here?" Candice asked rubbing her eyes.
"Never mind that, just get up," Maria said pulling on Candice's arms, we're going to be late.
"Late for what?!" Candice asked struggling to get out of Maria's grip.
"Me, you, John, and Randy are all going to the park," Maria said.
"So I'm guessing I have no option on going or not?" Candice asked as she finally gave in and stood up.
"That is correct," Maria said smiling at her victory.
"Fine, but I'm not staying long…" Candice replied as she walked over to her closet and grabbed her jacket.
"That's fine," Maria smiled and grabbed Candice's arm and pulled her out the door.

Mickie dialed Layla's phone number into her cell and waited for her to pick up.
"Hey, this is Layla El! I'm not here right now so leave a message after the beep. Thank you!" BEEEEP
"Lay! Oh my gosh! You're ex is my neighbor! Call me back ASAP, thanks!" Mickie said talking fast.
She closed her phone and threw it on her bed. She pulled off her clothes and slipped into a long night-shirt and shorts. She grabbed her remote and crawled into bed and turned on her TV.
"You're fired,"
Mickie jumped as she looked at her tv, the Apprentice was on. She could've sworn it sounded just like her boss. She shrugged it off and browsed through channels. She settled on her favorite soap opera and suddenly drifted off to sleep.

"I can't believe you're making me do this, Ria," Candice said, glancing at her best friend as they were walking over to the guys.
"You're going to have fun," Maria replied, "Besides, you need to get out."
Candice shrugged as she watched Maria walk over to John and give him a big hug.
"I missed you, JohnnyBear," Maria giggled.
"I missed you, too, RiaBear," John said with a smile.
"Wow, you guys are super cool," Randy shook his head and laughed.
Candice tried not to laugh when Maria turned and gave him a death stare.
"Shut up, Randy!!" Maria yelled.
"Sorry, sorry…calm down, girl," Randy said smiling at Candice.
Candice smiled and looked down.
"Whatever, you're such an ugh sometimes," she said looking at Candice then back at him.
"I'm supposed to be, sis," Randy said smiling.
Maria sighed and sat down and pulled John down next to her, "Candi, sit!"
Candice smiled, "Alright…" she sat down next to Maria.
Randy sat down next to Candice and bit his lip.
John wrapped his arms around Maria and started whispering flirty things into her ear.
"So, Candice…how are things? I haven't talked to you in forever," Randy said as he laughed a little.
"They're ok, I mean I still can't get over Chris," Candice said with a small smile.
Randy's smile slowly faded away, "Oh…I'm sorry. He's a jerk. You deserve way better."
"Thanks," Candice replied and looked into his eyes, "there's just something about him that's so…I don't know...amazing?"
Randy didn't want to sit here and listen to the one he loves talk about how amazing some guy was, but it looks like there was no choice. He nodded and looked up into the sky.
"Randy, can I ask you something?" she asked him.
"Sure, anything," He said looking back at her.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?"
He smiled and thought 'yes!!!! Finally!!' "Yes, I do. Why do you ask?"
"I think I-"
Maria didn't give her a chance to finish, "Oh my gosh!! Look at that amazing star!!"
"Damn it, Maria.." Randy mumbled to himself and fake smiled, "Yea…great, anyway Candi what were you saying?"
Candice looked up at the star, "Oh…never mind it wasn't important."
