Was this a bad idea? A terrible idea?

"This is hilarious." Manny had to admit, shaking her head and trying to understand this, "Sean just shows up, out of nowhere, and that's what he wanted from you?"

"That's all.." muttered Emma, shoving clothes into her bag. She just explained that she was going away for a few weeks, to go pretend to be Sean's fiance.

Manny looked speachless, "I can't believe you agreed." she sat on Emma's bed as Emma looked around her own tiny apartment

"I need the money." she insisted, rolling her eyes like it should be obvious to why she agreed..

She packed her favorite summer dress.

"he's giving you money!?" Manny exclaimed and covered her eyes for a second, "This is all too great!" she laughed and gave Emma a look who glanced at her confused, "The greatest revenge on the ex whose probably put you through more heart ache than anybody? You can hold this over him for years!"

Emma shook her head, starting to fold her outfits before sliding them into her duffle bag, "I'm not holding anything against him, it's not his fault his mom is sick and thinks we're still together.." Emma drifts, passing Manny a look to be a bit more considerate.

"Yea. That sucks.." Manny admitted, saddening a little for a friend.

Emma went on, "Plus, me and him can be mature about this. Be friends or whatever. I can understand he'd need some help with this and doesn't want to hurt her. I can be there for him, as a friend." she spoke through clenched teeth when Manny was giving her that look, like her and Sean couldn't be friends or somethng, "he's got a girl friend."

Well, he didn't say it, but he implied it at The Dot when he informed her to keep her boyfriend a secret if she had one, and he'd do the same with his 'girlfriend'. She frowned, slowly picking up a shirt that's already been folded

Manny watched do this and frowned herself, "Does that bother you?" she asked softly.

Emma glanced up at her, and down again, "no.." she said quieter. She sighed and admitted, "Maybe seeing him again had me a little taken back but.. I can deal. We've moved on"

Manny nodded, "You can. You're strong." a moment passed and Manny looked up in though, "I wonder if Sean rebounded to another goth again." she teased about the time Sean went to Ellie after Emma, "Or a slut again.." she muttered, remembering Amy.

Emma tried not to smile, smirking a bit and then threw a pillow by her bag at Manny who squeeled and laughed and Emma joined in.

"Are you crazy man!?" Both Spinner and Jay were having a conversation about the same thing with Sean.

Sean rolled his eyes madly, sitting at a bars table with these two crackheads, "Look," he took a gulp of the beer he held, "I don't wanna talk about it," his eyes flashes angerily, "My moms been told she only has months, and this is the only thing she's ever looked forward too. . I wish it wasn't! Trust me! But how the hell was I suppose to say it wasn't happening and crush her heart, crush the only things she's been excited about in months since my dad passed and she got diagnosed?"

Spinner nodded sadly, understanding and Jay itched the top of his hat (head) with a frown. Guess he had them there..

"Dude that sucks.." Spinner admitted and put a hand on Sean's shoulder, sqeezing it a bit.

Jay shared a look with Sean also, showing his deep sympathy.

Spinner lightened the mood, squeezing Sean's shoulder again playfully, "Geez you little stud, you never stop workin out do you?"

Sean shoved his hand off, giving a glare but snickered and Jay laughed, "You're so gay." he told Spin.

"Yea well, what else am I suppose to do as a single man?" joked Spinner, til a group of girls passed, smirking at them.

Jay smirked to them and back at his boys, "I don't know? Move on from your hellhound ex."

Sean looked at Spinner, confused.

"A year ago my ex Jane cheated on me." Spinner sighed in sadness, "I really fell for her you know?"

Sean softened, and merely nodded.

"What about you man?" Jay nodded to Sean, "Any girls in Wasaga?" he eyed him rather closely.

Sean sighed and leaned back in his chair, sipping his beer and shrugged.

Spinner laughed a bit, "If you do, how's the girl gonna feel about Emma and your little sheme?"

Christ, event the way other people said her name stood out. .

"Victoria will deal." Sean explains, "She's cool." he gulped his beer down hard.

'She's cool?' Sean thought, 'you can do better than that..'

"She's the hottest chick in Wasaga.." Sean declared, then waved to the bartender for some shots.

Jay, now married, had to live through Sean for the single life news, "Oh yeah?" he smirked, "That's saying a lot since thats beach babe central..way to go."

"Yea." Spinner agreed and grinned himself to then wonder, "She good in bed?" all the guys smirked, knowingly.

"She's good." nodded Sean.

Jay decided to stay quiet but snorted. 'Just Good?'

FLASHBACK..

"I can't believe it. I can't believe you got Emma to sleep with you." said Jay in awe, sitting at the Dot's counter with Sean, back in highschool, just a few weeks after he got out of jail. He grinned like a cheshire cat. He knew if anyone was to get into that golden girls pants, it'd be her dark knight.

He wouldn't of known either if he hadn't of made a small joke when he saw hickeys on Emma's neck earlier and saw Sean looking too obvious and looking more possessive of her, if that was possible.

Emma had given her most prized possession to Sean Cameron. Seemed right, giving it to your first love who came crashing back into your life, wanting another chance and still in love with you.

Sean looked around, rather panicky. He grabbed Jay's upper arm so tightly in his grasp that even Jay cringed, "Shut your mouth, Hogart."

"Jesus." spat Jay, yanking his arm back and rubbed it, "I get it." he rolled his eyes, "I won't speak badly about the lady." he smirked at Sean though, "Was it.. you know.."

Sean tried not to smirk, but a smile crept out, "It was pretty damn great. Perfect, like her." he had that lost look in his eye when Emma was on his mind.

Jay joked, "Watch it, you know she hates when you call her perfect..."

Sean shrugged and nodded, he knew he couldn't put her on a pedestal anymore, that was too much pressure for her and she's been through enough. He accepted and loved her flaws, loved everything about her, was it such a crime to love her and think shes perfect even with her flaws?

END OF FLASHBACK

"Your girl have anybody for me?" joked Spinner.

Sean chuckled and just happily took a shot that the waitress put down for them and Jay grabbed his two but raised an eyebrow to Sean's next words, "Another batch, please?"

The waitress nodded and left.

Jay looked away when Sean looked back up and nodded to them, "You guys should come up for a weekend. In two weeks is the BFW night."

"What's that?" Smirked Spinner at the funny party title.

"Beach firework night." Sean said simply with a shrug.

Jay nodded, raising his shot glass, "I'm in." he took the shot and then smirked, "We can stop in to see how playing house wife will be for Emma, and if your mom is seriously gonna buy it."

Sean stared off. Yea.. that was the most important part.

"Ready?" Sean stood with sunglasses and wearing jeans and a white wife beater the next morning.

The sun was just trying to burn him alive, he knew it. The hangover sucked ass too.

Emma came over wearing jean shorts and a tank top. She was holding a duffle bag that he grabbed out of her hands and threw in the back of the truck, "There's fragile things in there!" she exclaimed and adjusted the bag on her shoulder as well as she gave him a dumb look.

Jay came out from behind her, carrying another big duffle bag with Manny behind him.

Sean gave her a look back, but she couldn't see it under those glasses, "Jesus, how much did you pack?" he asked.

She shrugged innocently, "You said a months worth."

Manny giggled with her, standing to her side and then crossed her arms and frowned. She knew she and Jay were going to go visit them in a week or two, but Emma would be gone the WHOLE month. Just being in Hollywood before was lonely enough without Emma, she was gonna miss her best friend and worry about her the whole time. This may turn into a messy situation.. Sean was trigger for Emma sometimes.

"Oh great," taunted Jay, flying Emma's bag into the trunk as well and turned to Manny, glancing at Emma, "You made her cry."

"Manny," Emma laughed a little, pulling her friend into a hug, "I'm a half hour away! You need me? Call me. I'll be back in a few weeks." she rolled her eyes to the two guys sharing a silent laugh to another.

Manny sniffed and pulled away, whiping her tears, "I'm just gonna miss you, a-and you'll be on a beach, without me." she pouted.

Jay rolled his eyes sarcastically, "You wanna leave me and go with her just so you can go and get a tan?"

Manny smirked tauntingly to him back, "Could I?"

Jay grabbed her roughly to him and she yelped but then giggled, sharing a kiss that just deepend and both Emma and Sean rolled there eyes and he stormed to the drivers side.

"Lets go" he said to Emma, opening his door and gave Jay a slight nod when his best friend nodded to him as a goodbye.

Sean got in, his truck windows down, and he cornered his eyes to see Emma hug both their friends goodbye and then his stomach twisted seeing her slightly sniffle herself. She was good at hiding her sadness, but not from him. He felt a little bad taking her away, and he stared at the steering wheel as she got in.

Was it really that horribel to be around him for just a few weeks?

Emma noticed them not moving as she waved and watched Jay and Manny go. She turned to Sean, who just had a hand on the steering wheel and stick shift but not moving.

"Sean, we going?" she asked him, putting her hair behind her ears and then got her seat belt on.

He blinked out of it and then nodded, but then eyed her, "You're sure?"

She shrugged simply, "This'll be like a vacation," she taunted him as he started the car, "Just don't piss me off."

He had to laugh. He couldn't promise that.
