Disclaimer: I still don't own a thing...with the exception of Paige Evans.

(Lauren's POV)

Lauren watched Paige come out of the kitchen, a confused look on her face. Walker was nowhere in sight. Lauren got up and went into the kitchen. Walker was leaning against the counter. There was a faraway look in his eyes. Lauren came to a sudden realization.

"You like her don't you, Walker," she said with a small smirk. He was being so obvious.

"What?!" Walker said, taken aback, "No! No way!" He shifted uncomfortably.

"You're being so obvious," Lauren smirked, "I'm surprised she hasn't figured it out yet."

"I am?" Walker asked, looking defeated.

"Very."

"Yes, Lo, I like her. But she doesn't like me, I know it." Walker frowned.

"How would you know? Want me to ask her?"

"Uh - yes? Please Lo." Walker had a pleading glint in his eye. He really did like her.

"Ok, Walker," Lauren turned around to leave the kitchen, but Walker's whispered words made her stop.

"Don't tell her that I like her, please."

Lauren nodded, and left the kitchen without another word. Poor Walker…he really liked Paige, and Lauren had a small feeling Paige wasn't feeling the same way. Nick and Matt had apparently stopped fighting, since The Little Mermaid was starting. Lauren plopped down next to Jaime. Walker slipped in a few minutes later, sitting down on the floor next to Jeff.

Lauren needed a way to talk to Paige, alone. She got her chance halfway through the movie when Paige stood up, and headed upstairs to go to the restroom. Lauren followed her. She leaned against the wall until the doorknob turned, and Paige stepped out.

"Paige, can we talk?" Lauren questioned her carefully.

"Sure!" Paige said happily. She was obviously in a good mood.

Awww, Joe's is loooove. Anyway, the next chapter will be up tomorrow...probably. Oh, and please review. If you have any suggestions or guess to what's going to happen then PM/Review.

hogwartsalways5298: It would have been TOTALLY AWESOME if Joey had gotten the doorman. Good thing that the daughter of the director (I think) was a huge Starkid fan. That's how he got the part of Officer Petey. Thinking "Walker and I walked to Walmart" is amusing is not odd at all. Now that you've pointed it out I think it's pretty funny myself.
