Later that evening, Mariah was back over. Nicky was under his covers hiding, but he could still hear them laughing bad talking and having a great time. This bothered Nicky greatly. But there was no way he'd tell Rod. Rod was so happy now, that he actually got a girlfriend, Nicky couldn't ruin it by telling him the truth. A few moments later Rod walked into their room to find Nicky under the blankets.

"Nicholas, what on EARTH are you doing?"

"I told you. If she really was coming, then I really was hiding. Look, she's here, I'm hiding."

"Nicholas, you're being so dramatic over this. She's just a girl."

"Exactly! A girl!"

"What does THAT have to do with anything?"

"Well, last time I checked you were gay."

"But am no longer gay…I'm bisexual."

"I just don't know what you see in her! There are a lot other better girls out there, let alone guys."

"Are you trying to tell me something Nicky?"

"Yes! I am!"

"Well, I think I understand. And I'm sorry to say I don't feel the same way."

Nicky's heart sank

"Well, that's okay I guess, I mean-"

"I understand, that you want me to be with Ricky again, but it just won't happen!"

"Oh, right, yup! Well I guess I should go tell him then."

"He put you up to this?"

"Oh yeah, sure, he's still in love with you, desperately."

"Well you can tell him to get the hell out of my life."

"Will do!" Nicky said with relief.

"I must be going Nicholas, I'd hate to keep Mariah waiting, you should come join us!"

"Fine, but don't expect me to be very pleasant about it."

In the living room, Mariah And Rod were sitting on the loveseat, holding hands, while nicky was lying down on the couch.

"So Nicky," Said Mariah carefully "I heard you were a hobo a couple times in your life what was that like?"

"It was very unpleasant and I do not like talking about it."

"Oh, I get it. You didn't get to be a ninja pirate hobo, just a hobo, that's terrible!"

"well, yeah, it was."

"So do you have any siblings? Like I know you and Rod are pretty close, but like any blood -siblings?"

"Nope, quite frankly, I was taken away by ninja pirate hobos, was sent off to space, and never knew who my family was."

"Wow! That's terrible!"

"Wow! You're so gullible!"

"yeah, I get that a lot."

"But no, I do not know who my family is."

"You sound like my sister, she's always talking about how she was born into the Jonas family and how Joe Jonas is really her twin, when in truth, and everybody knows it, they look well, not very similar."

"Joe Jonas really? And I thought you were the weird one."

"Nicholas!" rod said sharply, "That's terrible of you to say!"

"No it's fine!" Mariah insisted "I am the weird one. A lot of people tell me that anyways, but I really don't mind one bit! Besides I'd be offended if he didn't call me weird."

"wow." Nicky said under his breath

"Well, with that, I must be going. Bye Nicky! See you tomorrow Rod."

"Good-bye Mariah!" Said Rod as she left.

Nicky wasn't really paying much attention, but he did hear her say that she' see Rod tomorrow.

"Oh, so now you're making scheduled play-dates with her?"

"No, and where did the play-date part even come from?"

"You've met her! She acts like she's 5! Give or take a few years!"

"Again, you're being a drama queen again Nicholas. She is quite mature for her age."

"If that's what you call mature, what am I?"

"Nicholas, don't make me kick you out of this apartment again."

And with that Nicky shut-up and left the room.
