Me: Alrighty! I was very very truly bored and therefore decided to start writing. We are in a very short supply of Cal/Gillian fics and so I have nothing to read.

Cal: Tell me about it.

Me: Psh, you get the real thing. Stop complaining.

Cal: You mean I will get the real thing, once the writers realize that it's the way to go.

Me: ... I give them until Season 3.

Cal: Wanna bet on that?

Me: Fine. Loser runs around the building dressed as a giant chicken.

Cal: This could take a while.

Me: In the mean time, enjoy the story!

Cal: And she does not own Lie to Me or any of its characters. She also does not own the movie 'Made of Honor' or any movie in that case. Don't forget to review, she likes getting those.

Gillian had paid for what she and Emily got. After Cal left, they decided to depend on each other's opinions instead. Once they finished, they found Cal in the Men's Department somewhat mindlessly staring at random items of clothing. They all made their way back to the car in silence.

"Hey, um, maybe we should go get your car now." Cal told Gillian, remembering they left her car at the restaurant.

"Which reminds me, how did you get your car back?"

"I made a few calls." he said, igniting the engine.

"You made a few calls for your car, but not mine?" she said, clearly annoyed.

"Hey! There wasn't time ok?"

"Oh, there wasn't?" she replied with a hint of sarcasm.

"No! There wasn't!"

"Well maybe if you didn't waste your time-"

"Oh! I waste my time?"

"Yeah, you-"

"Will you guys just shut up?!", yelled Emily in the back seat, which made them shut up, followed by a deep sigh of frustration from both of them, "You guys are acting like a young bickering couple!". This made both Cal and Gillian shoot a quick glance of disbelief at each other, before turning away. There was an awkward silence until Cal spoke once more.

"Alright, look... I'm sorry." Gillian looked at him then sighed.

"I'm sorry too." she smiled slightly. They both stared at each other.

"Dad!!! Look at the road!!!" yelled Emily, shooting both Cal and Gillian back into reality as a car honked multiple times behind them. They soon arrived at the restaurant and got out of the car to ask for Gillian's car keys. They were handed to her and she started heading towards her car.

"Um, Gillian?" asked Emily as she ran up to catch up with her.

"Yes, Emily?" she asked as she turned around.

"Is it ok if I ride with you?" Gillian thought about it and looked at Cal.

"Well if it's ok with your father, then sure." she smiled. Emily flashed her a gratitude smile, and ran over to Cal. Gillian saw Cal nod in the distance and opened the car doors when she saw Emily running back. Gillian smiled.

"Alright, get in." Emily ran over to the passenger door and slid in. The engine roared to life and Gillian started following Cal's car. A few minutes into the car ride, Gillian asked Emily something.

"You didn't want to come with me, just to ride, am I right?"

"Yea. I need to tell you something Gillian. Well, actually, maybe ask you something, I'm not exactly sure." Gillian gulped. Emily saw this and continued.

"You know what I'm going to ask you about, don't you?"

"I have an idea, yes."

"Look, Gillian, I'm not exactly sure what happened at the mall, but I saw your face. You saw something. You read my dad."

"Yea, I did." There was that same look on her face, which once again did not go unnoticed by Emily.

"Why are you so scared? Look, my dad may be fairly creepy and weird, but he's not a bad guy. He likes you a lot, Gillian."

"So I've seen." This made Emily's eyes widen.

"So, you know?!"

"Know what??"

"Wait, you don't know??"

"Know what???"

"Nevermind. It's nothing."

"Liar."

"Yupp." Gillian sighed. They arrived at Cal's house and proceeded to get out of Gillian's car, with their shopping bags. Cal held the door open for them both and followed them inside. All three collapsed on the couch.

"Wow. It's been a looooong day." said Gillian, exhausted.

"Told you shopping was a bad idea." said Cal, now leaning on Emily, who was in the middle of them both.

"I say we watch a movie." suggested Emily.

"I'm in." agreed Gillian.

"Alright, fine. But absolutely no-"

"Romantic comedy!" exclaimed both Emily and Gillian. Cal, knowing it was a lost cause, slumped back into the couch as Emily and Gillian started picking which movie they'd watch. They settled on 'Made of Honor'.

"I'm not a huge fan of the movie, but I like the idea it has." smiled Gillian.

"Yea, same here!" Emily took the movie and put it in the DVD player, "I'll go make some popcorn, you guys just stay here, k?"

"Oh, Emily, you don't have to do that."

"Hey, you can't leave my dad here all alone. Don't worry about it." she smiled.

"And why the hell can't I be alone?" asked a confused Cal.

"Because...... um................. oh, look at the time! The popcorn's calling!" said Emily, running to the kitchen. Cal and Gillian looked at each other, both having quirked eyebrows and smirking, as Gillian sat down next to Cal.

"Emily's acting strange, don't you think?" asked Gillian.

"She's a teenager." shrugged Cal.

"True." Gillian replied, as she turned to face the movie which had just started. Emily walked into the room with a bowl a popcorn and sat down next to Gillian, who was now sitting next to Cal.

"I believe honesty is the best policy." said the male lead, Tom, played by Patrick Dempsey, at the beginning of the movie.

"I like this guy." Cal smirked, while Gillian and Emily just rolled their eyes, though smiling. They all watched the movie in peace, and even Cal laughed at certain parts of the movie. Gillian noticed Cal's jaw clench about half an hour into the movie when the female lead informed her best friend, the male lead, that she was getting married. She tried to ignore it, and turned back to the movie. Later in the movie, Emily spoke up.

"You know, those two act like you guys." she said.

"How so?" asked Gillian.

"Well they're best friends, they trust each other, and they obviously lo-"

"Alright Em, could you get me a bottle of water please?" asked Cal, quickly interrupting Emily from finishing. Emily shot him a look that said 'this was not even close to over', as she got up.

"Hey Em, sorry to bother you, but you wouldn't happen to have any chocolate pudding, would you?" asked Gillian before Emily left to the kitchen.

"Course, I'll get it for you." she said standing up.

"Thanks so much." replied Gillian. Cal faced her.

"You really do have a sweet tooth." he said disbelievingly. Gillian smirked and they turned back to the movie. It was nearly over, there were only about 20 minutes left. It was at that moment, the universe decided that it would be a good time to have the two main characters kiss, while Cal and Gillian were alone, at night, on a couch, with no one watching. A heavy silence suddenly overtook the room, even though it had been pretty silent before. Gillian decided to break the silence.

"Now that's a kiss. So romantic and passionate." she smiled. Cal turned to look at her.

"You read way too many romance novels." he smirked and felt something against his right shoulder. Gillian had laid her head against him and he smiled to himself.

"Alright guys here you go.", Emily walked in with water, chocolate pudding and a spoon, "I see you've gotten cozy..." she smirked at Cal.

"Thanks Emily." Gillian said, as she was handed the pudding. She lifted her head off of Cal's shoulder so she could eat. Cal grabbed his water and set it down beside him.

"You know what guys, I'm pretty tired. You guys finish the movie without me, k?" said Emily as she headed towards the stairs. Cal shot her a look, which she replied with a smirk.

"'Night Emily!" said Gillian.

"'Night luv."

"'Night guys!" Emily said as she ran up the stairs.

"You know, you can stay here if you'd like." Cal told Gillian.

"Cal, we already talked about this. Besides, I found myself a hotel room and maybe soon my own apartment." she said, looking down.

"Emily seems to be very fond of you. Stay for tonight at least. You can decide tomorrow, alright luv?" Gillian looked at Cal for a few moments before nodding and turning back to the tv screen. Hannah, the female lead played by Michelle Monaghan, had just caught Tom with her cousin, even though it was her cousin who put the moves on him.

"That must really be hard on her." said Gillian.

"But it wasn't his fault."

"She doesn't know that."

"Then she should listen to his explanation."

"It's not as easy as it looks, Cal. If anything, this is all his fault."

"How the hell is it his fault??"

"If he had just told her he loves her before she left to Scotland for 6 weeks, then none of this would've happened."

"He was going to tell her and then she comes back engaged ready to marry a man she barely knows!"

"She wouldn't have gotten engaged with someone else if he had just had the guts to admit it!"

"Is that all it would have taken?! It's not enough! It's never enough! It would have ruined everything! It would have ruined their friendship!"

"Have you ever thought that maybe she would've wanted to hear it?! Just for once in his goddamn life he couldn't tell her how he felt before it was too late?!" Cal just stared, breathless, not having an instant response. Gillian was panting and out of breath, looking Cal in the eyes, regretting the path the conversation took.

"No... he couldn't." finally said Cal as he looked back at the screen. Gillian had remorse written all over her face.

"I'm sorry Cal." she said silently.

"I'm sorry too, luv." He looked at her one more time.

'Really sorry' he thought before turning his attention back at the movie.
