So, I have officially crossed over to the world of evil. I am jumping between this chapter of Light of the Moon and an oneshot with Chris Jericho that will be my longest one ever!!! Stupid promises about reviews and orgasms. Anyway, I have now started this chapter like a gazillion times. Hopefully, this time I will write something that is actually readable.

"Oh my god, this plane has internet," Candy squealed as she flipped open the laptop that was connected to the seat in front of her, "why have I never ridden first class before?"
All four of them were on their way back to Cameron. They had stayed two days after the funeral to start putting things in order, and Candy had left her mom's lawyer in charge of the rest of things.
"Seriously, is this what it's like on every plane?"
Candy looked up as the guys laughed at her.
"What?!"
They pretended to ignore her, while they talked to each other.
"This is why we like her."
"Yep, incredibly easy to shop for."
"All you gotta do is find something shiny."
Candy narrowed her eyes at them, and then turned back to the computer.
She updated her twitter, and messed around on facebook for a little bit, but got bored quickly. She peeked over the top of the laptop, and then smiled to herself. She couldn't help but giggle as the page came up.
Shannon looked over at her.
"What are you doing, Candy?"
"Nooooooooothing."
Shannon whipped the laptop out of her hands.
"Oh my god, you're looking at fanfiction?!?!"
"I know it's awesome, right," she said, taking the laptop back, "dude, I'm on the character list!"
"Candy…."
"Rated M! Ooooh, let's see who your competition is!"
"You don't wanna do that…"
"Oh, don't be such a party pooper."
"Candy, you really don't wanna do that."
Candy stuck her tongue out, "too late, the page loaded."
Shannon sighed, dropping his head in his hands.
"Oh my god! Please tell me hardycest isn't what I think it is!"
"It is."
"But, but, but, don't they know Matt and Jeff are my brothers?"
"They know."
"Oh god, I clicked on one. I can't read it. Ahhh, take it away, take it away!"
Shannon grabbed the laptop from her, snapping it closed, and sliding it into the slot on the back of the seat.
"Next time, will you listen to me when I say you shouldn't do something?"
"As much as that scared me and I should probably learn from my mistakes or some after school special shit like that, no," she smiled up at him, while pushing the armrest up and curling into his side, "how much fun would I be if I listened when people told me what to do?"
"No fun at all," he said, kissing the top of her head, "speaking of no fun, Matt said…"
"Hey," Candy protested.
"Matt said, the night I bailed you made an amazing Italian dinner. So, I thought I'd make it up to you by taking you out tonight on our first official date."
"Ooooh, where are we going?"
"That's a surprise."
Candy pouted, "I hope you know I hate surprises."
"I hope you know that you secretly love them, what you don't like is not knowing something other people know."
Candy curled deeper into his side, using his arm like a blanket and holding it to her, "yea, well, I better find out soon."
Candy fell asleep, exhausted from the past few days.
Shannon turned off the overhead light and pulled closed the window shutter. He stared down at Candy, watching the peaceful expression on her face and the steady rise and fall of her chest.

Candy tossed her bags in the corner and then collapsed onto her bed. She'd basically slept all the way here from Chicago and she was still dead tired. She crawled to the top of the bed and then pulled the covers over herself and fell asleep in her clothes.
Matt walked past Candy's room, closing the door on her sleeping form. He slipped downstairs, where Jeff and Shannon were waiting.
"We have one and a half weeks left before we go back on the road. What are you thinking, Shannon? She's not even nineteen and you're going to consume any free time she might have," Matt said, in a half whisper.
"Matt, I get it, okay? But I really like her and so what if it's selfish? It's her decision too," Shannon countered.
"Fine. But if you break her heart, and yea she has given you her heart, if you break it…I swear to god that will end our friendship. Make sure you know what you're doing before you get into this," Matt said, his words edged with steel.
"I do…we cool," Shannon asked, apprehensively.
"Yea, we're cool. So, where are you taking my little sister to dinner?"
Shannon smiled, slinging his arms around Matt and Jeff's shoulders.

Candy rolled onto her side, looking at the digital readout on her clock. She pulled the blankets tighter trying to remember what time Shannon said he was going to pick her up. She threw her arm across her forehead.
"I know there are numbers in it…"
She sat up and as she did she stared down at her arm.
"Shit," the blurry ink said 7:45 and it was already 7:30.
She yanked herself out of bed and turned on the shower hopping in.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit," she bounced on the balls of her feet, shampooing her hair as she gazed around trying to find her razor. She washed away the soap that was dripping into her eyes and pulled back the curtain, sticking her head out.
She leaped out quickly, grabbing the razor and a new blade, and then hopping back in. She started shaving and mentally decided that from now on she was waxing.
She turned off the shower, threw the towel around herself, and dried off as she ran into her room. Candy dug through her bags, glancing over at the clock every five seconds. She let loose a string of curses every time the numbers clicked a minute closer to 7:45.
Candy tossed her hair up in a messy bun as she did her make-up, keeping it simple with some black eyeliner and mascara. She grabbed a pair of heels from her closet and slipped them on as she sped down the stairs.
Matt and Jeff were sitting on the couch watching TV and eating popcorn.
"How do I look," she asked spinning around.
"Amazing," Matt said, standing up, "just, ahh…" he trailed off and tapped his fingers to his head.
"Ahh," Candy said, as her hands flew up to her wet hair, which was still in the messy bun. She ran into the downstairs bathroom and quickly ran her fingers through her hair.
Just then the doorbell rang.
"Don't let him in," Candy yelled out to Jeff and Matt.
"What? Why?"
"Because I am so not ready," Candy said as she furiously tried to fix her hair.
The doorbell rang again.
"Candy, we can't just leave him out there," Jeff shouted in to her.
"Jeffery Nero Hardy, if you know what's good for you, you won't open that door!"
"No fear," Jeff shouted in to her, as he walked past the bathroom towards the front door.
Candy ran out of the bathroom, tackling Jeff just as he was about to open the door.
"My hair is full of knots, I am not going to let you open that door so Shannon can walk in and see me like this," Candy said, pinning Jeff's shoulders to the ground.
"Candy, I'm pretty sure he's seen you when you've looked worse than this besides," Jeff''s voice lowered and Candy had to lean in to hear him, "Hardy's always kick out." With that he tossed Candy so that he was now pinning her down.
She just smiled up at him, "you forget, I'm a Hardy too," she wrapped her legs around him, flipping him off her.
They started fighting each other on the floor. Jeff trying to get towards the door, while Candy dragged him away.
Jeff was reaching out for the door with Candy standing over him, holding onto his ankle with both hands, trying to pull him back, as the door opened and Shannon walked in.
Jeff and Candy froze.

Haven't had much time to write lately, hopefully that will change soon. This chapter was kinda a filler cuz it's about to get really good…soon…I'm just building up their relationship cuz I don't want it to be the kind of thing that happens like *snaps*, you know? I want it to actually work its way into an understandable relationship.
Please reply. I try to let my twisted sense of humor slip through, but I don't know if you guys are finding the story humorous at all. Anyway, let me know!
