Music of all kind blared throughout the mall. Jay, Silent Bob, and Bess were in the record store, looking through all the CDs. Bess smiled, watching the two men head bopping to the music, clearing enjoying themselves.

"Silent Bob, you two going to sleep together, or what?" Jay whispered to his friend.

The mute man's eyes widened before turning to Bess. She was still choosing her music, giving no indication that she heard what Jay said. Silent Bob glared at Jay. He and Bess were still getting to know each other. It was way too soon to be doing anything like that.

Silent Bob watched Bess go into another aisle to look at different music genres. He had to admit that there was something special about the mute girl. Yeah, she was cute and all, but she really understood him without any words at all.

Bess lifted her gaze, meeting Silent Bob's eyes. She gave a smile while her cheeks were visibly turning red. If last night's kiss indicated anything, she liked him too. That was a good start.

"Dude", Jay said bringing Silent Bob back to reality. "Go put the moves on her, or something."

He pushed the larger man toward the girl with a smile. Bess gasped as the two bumped inch each other. Silent Bob gave a nervous smile. This was certainly more than he had experienced in a long, long time. He genuinely liked this girl as opposed to every other girl in town that he and Jay tried sleeping with.

"Silent Bob!"

The two mutes were approached by a young woman. She looked remarkably young and well-dressed to be buying anything from the two stoners. Short brown hair, held in place with a headband, cute dark sweater to match her dark school. The perfect Catholic schoolgirl, the ideal girl for any parent in the world.

"Sup, Trish", Jay said approaching. "Bess, this is Tricia. Girl's a huge slut! 15 years old and Trish the Dish is banging every dude she wants!"

Bess' jaw dropped as she looked at the teenager. So much for that image of an ideal daughter! Tricia huffed, rolling her eyes.

"It's research, dumbass!"

Research? Bess tilted her head confused. How did sex count as research? Tricia opened her journal to try and explain it.

"I'm writing a book. It's called Bore-Gasm, and it's about the sexual appetite of men 14 to 30."

Bess' eyes widened. 14 to 30 year old men? That couldn't be legal in any way! This girl was still a minor! If she was doing all of this, what did she want with Silent Bob?

"Anyway", Tricia said. "I need some help with the research."

Silent Bob slowly took a step back. If she was asking him to sleep with her, he was ready to run for the hills. He wasn't into jailbait. Bess looked at the two of them with sad eyes. The thought of him sleeping with someone else hurt.

"Dumbasses..." Tricia scoffed, rolling her eyes. "I need help with my camera setup. I need to record the different ways sex goes for my book. Think it over."

The teenage girl walked out of the record store, continuing about her business.

"Yo, let's get out of here", Jay said. "Starting to get bored."
