Disclaimer: I own nothing except for my laptop, my imagination and my crazy poodle. Steph, Ranger and Morelli belong to Janet Evanovich. Inside the Actor's Studio and the questions belong to someone else also. The plot for this however is all mine!!

A/N: I got this idea when I was surfing . There is a section that has the list of questions posed to the main characters and what their answers would be. Funny stuff!

The Questionnaire

Chapter 2: Morelli's Answers

Two days after she had mailed the questionnaires she got her first response.

Morelli stopped by with a pizza and some beer. It was late, about 10pm.

"Here you go." He gave her the questionnaire back as he pushed past her to drop the pizza and beer on the coffee table and reach for the remote. "You wanna grab some napkins Cupcake?"

Stephanie muttered under breath as she went to get some napkins. Morelli didn't even look at her as she began to read his answers; he was too engrossed in the ballgame on the television.

What is my favorite color? Blue

Which would I rather listen to Godsmack or Linkin Park? Godsmack

Not too bad so far. Stephanie thought. Well except for the fact that my favorite color is yellow, because it's a happy color and my favorite superhero is Batman. Those are minor things though.

If we were in a relationship and sex wasn't an option what would you do? You like sex too much to give it up.

By the time Stephanie finished reading his answers she was hopping mad. Joe happened to look at her.

"What's wrong?"

"This!" She waved the questionnaire in his face and he laughed. She got off the couch and paced the living room so that she wasn't tempted to beat the crap out of him.

"Come on Cupcake it was a joke." He tried to calm her down when he saw how angry she was.

"It says right here." She stabbed at the top of the page. "Please answer them seriously and return the list to me. This is important to me."

"I thought you were kidding." He said warily. "Here, give me the list and I'll answer it seriously."

"No!" She shouted.

"What do you mean… no?"

"I mean N. O. NO! Joe, I was being serious with this. I wrote that I was serious on it. You just didn't get it. Look at your answers. Joking or not, these show what you really think. Do you think I'm lying when I tell you I don't know if I'll ever want to get married? 'What would my mother think?' What about what I think? What about kids? They scare the ever lovin' shit outta me. And you write…" She read from the paper 'every woman wants kids' then she just shook her head, crumpled the paper and dropped it on the floor.

"Cupcake." He tried to use a cajoling tone of voice. "Let me make it up to you. I didn't know it was some kind of test."

"It wasn't a test. I wanted to know what you thought about us and to see if you 'got' me. You don't. You don't understand me." She pointed to the door. "Joe I think you should leave."

"You don't mean that. You'll get over this and we'll be back together before you know it."

"Yes, I do mean it. And besides, I haven't gotten the other questionnaire back." She smirked at him, so angry that she didn't care what he thought. He really thought that this meant nothing. It definitely meant something to her. It reinforced to her that they weren't meant to be together.

"What other questionnaire? I only got the one." He looked confused.

"That's because I only sent you one. I sent out another one just like the one you got. I haven't gotten it back yet." She watched in sick fascination as his face grew red and purple. Interesting colors. She thought.

"You sent another questionnaire out?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"Yes I did."

"To him?" Morelli growled.

"If you mean Ranger, then again… yes." She told him.

"Why?" He demanded.

"Because he has expressed an interest in dating me and I wanted to know what his answers to those questions would be. Just like I wanted to know what your answers would be before I considered going back to you."

"You're kidding right?" Joe relaxed and laughed. "He probably won't even send the thing back."

They were both startled by a knock on the door. Stephanie ran to open the door. Ranger stood there with his questionnaire in his hand.
