"Oh Christopher. You are the most charming, wonderful, handsome, and magnificent man I have ever known!" Angela said looking up at him admiringly. Her eyes were shining like stars.

"Oh yes he is Dear. In fact he is just the man I have always pictured you with." Mona too was looking at him, her eyes and face both lit up like the fourth of July.

"OH PLEASE!" Tony rolled his eyes.

"Yes, much better than that other guy. Oh what was his name?" Angela put her hand to her forehead trying to remember.

"TONY! Toe-Knee!" Tony yelled. "And Mona I thought I was the man you always wanted Angela with?!"

"Oh it doesn't matter Dear. He doesn't matter. All that matters is Christopher!" She sighed and placed her hand over her heart.

"I don't believe this!" Tony threw up his hands.

The front door opened and Sam and Jonathan walked in.

"Oh thank God you're here!" Tony breathed a sigh of relief. "I could really use your…."

"OH MY GOSH! Jonathan! Look who is here!" Sam squealed. She threw her purse down and ran to Christopher.

"Oh the lovely Samantha!" Christopher picked her up and spun her around.

"The lovely Samantha?!" Tony shook his head. "What the hell?!"

Christopher put her down and turned to Jonathan.

"And Jonathan! Pal-O-Mine!"

"AY OH! OH AY! I am the only one allowed to say that!" Tony growled.

"Right back at you!" Jonathan said. They shook hands and hugged each other in the way all guys do with a few slaps on the back.

"Oh it's so great to see you!" Sam gushed.

'It truly is. How long has it been?" Jonathan asked.

"I believe it has been two hours." Mona said.

Sam gasped. "Two hours?!" She put her hand to her mouth, her eyes filled with tears.

"Oh Christopher! Please don't ever be away from us that long again!" Jonathan begged him.

Christopher laughed. "Oh you are all too kind."

"I'm going to lose my lunch!" Tony growled. "And why can't I see his face?!" Tony walked around him trying to catch a glimpse but all he saw was a faceless man.

"Hey! I have an idea!" Christopher said.

"Oh an idea!" Mona clapped her hands.

"What is it Christopher?" Sam smiled at him.

"How about we go take a walk in the park?"

"A walk in the park? Oh that is brilliant!" Jonathan grinned.

"A walk in the park? Oh yeah he is such a genius!" Tony rolled his eyes.

"Oh Christopher, that is such a splendid idea!" Angela said.

"Well then let's hit it! Let's move it! Let's do it!" Christopher exclaimed

"Let's hit it?! AY OH! Why do you keep stealing my lines?!" Tony yelled.

Sam giggled. "That sounds so familiar for some reason."

"Yes it does." Jonathan agreed.

"That's because they're mine! Your Father Samantha and your best buddy Jonathan!" Tony said, trying to get their attention.

"You heard the man. Let's go!" Mona said.

"Oh wait a minute! I have to take care of something first. You all go on ahead." Christopher said.

"Okay. Please don't be too long, my love." Angela smiled up at him. In response he bent her over and gave her a deep, passionate, and lingering kiss emitting sighs and giggles from Mona, Sam, and Jonathan.

"Oh wow!" Sam sighed.

"Now go on! I'll be right there!"

They all left, walking backwards so they could still see him.

'We'll miss you!" Mona cried.

"Yes we will!" Jonathan said.

"Please hurry! Please!" Sam cried.

Christopher just smiled and waved them away. After they were gone he turned to Tony.

"So Tony. It looks like I'm the new man in their lives!" He smirked.

"WHAT?! The hell you are!"

"Oh Tony. I'm afraid it's true."

"No! No! No!"

"Oh Tony you need to accept it" Christopher shook his head.

"Never! You will never take them from me!"

"I already have."

"No! Angela! Mona! Sam! Jonathan! Come back! Please come back!" He started running after them but then his legs stopped working and he fell to the ground.

Christopher walked past him shaking his head.

"You lost Tony. Just accept it. They're mine now Tony…..

"They're mine now Tony…."

"They're mine now Tony….."

"NO!" Tony shot up his heart racing and his body filled with sweat.

"What the… Oh my God!" He took a few deep breaths willing himself to calm down.

"No! I haven't lost them. I can't lose them!" He looked at his clock. 3:55 a.m.

"Okay it was just a dream. A stupid dream. " He laid back down and closed his eyes.

"Just try and get some sleep. Everything will be okay." He tried to assure himself.

Unfortunately sleep eluded him and he spent the next few hours wide awake until his alarm went off.

####################################

"Two weeks?! You're actually going for two weeks?!" Mona asked in surprise. They were riding the train back home when Angela dropped the news in her lap.

"Well Christopher realized that the weekend would be over before we knew it. I mean the plane ride alone is going to take at least ten hours. And he does have business meetings the first day. So by the time we go sightseeing it would be time to come back home."

"Well I am proud of you Angela! Shocked, surprised, and flabbergasted but most of all proud."

"Thank you Mother." Angela laughed.

"But, I can imagine someone else who isn't going to be as happy as I am." Mona raised an eyebrow."

"Oh really? And who is that?" Angela examined her nails.

"Queen Elizabeth! Come on, you know I'm referring to that Italian Stallion you're living with."

"Oh him! Well he's just going to have to deal with it. Just like I have to deal with…" she trailed off her eyes and voice taking on a soft melancholy look.

"Tony dating Kathleen?" Mona asked gently.

"Yeah." She took a deep breath. 'But you know what? He made his choice and I have made mine. In a few days I will be off to Greece with a sexy, charming, and wonderful man!"

"That's my girl! I'm so happy! The hospital didn't switch babies on me!"

"Mother!" Angela shook her head.

"Aww but seriously Dear. I hope you have a fantastic time."

"I will. I definitely will."

######################################

"TWO WEEKS?! Angela! You're going to Athens with that louse for two weeks?!" Tony was incensed.

"Yes Tony. Two weeks. Fourteen days."

"But you can't!"

"And why not?"

"Uh…What about your business?"

"Jack and Mother are taking care of things." Off Tony's look she relented. "Okay fine. Jack will be but I will still be calling in."

"Angela! Please reconsider. I don't trust Christopher."

"Oh really? And why is that?"

"I don't know. He just seems too good to be true."

"Well that's your opinion and you are welcome to it. "

"Gee Thanks!" Tony said sarcastically.

"Tony, are we done here? I have some packing to do. Christopher is picking me up in an hour."

Tony sighed. "Can I at least know your flight number?" You know, just in case?"

"Oh Christopher has his own private plane." Angela smiled.

"Of course he does!" Tony growled.

"Yes, it will be just the two of us. And the pilot of course!" Angela giggled.

"Well have a wonderful time!" Tony growled and stalked out of the room.

"Thank you. I will." Angela rolled her eyes and continued packing.

Sam and Jonathan came in and sat down on the bed.

"Angela! This is so exciting! I wish I were going!"

"Yeah, that is just what my Mom wants. You coming along!" Jonathan rolled his eyes.

"I said I wish I were going dweeb!"

"All right you two!" Angela shook her head and went into her bathroom and gathered up her toiletries.

"Okay. Sorry Angela. We just wanted to be sure we said goodbye before you left."

Angela came back out and put her toiletries in her carryon.

"Yeah. Sam's right."

Angela smiled and gave them both a hug.

"Okay. Now you both be good! I love you!"

"I love you too Mom."

"I love you too Angela. Have a good time!"

"Thank you."

Sam and Jonathan smiled at her and left the room. A little while later Mona came strolling in.

"Well Dear. Are you all ready to go?"

"Yes, I am."

"So… how did Tony take the news?"

"Oh, not too well."

"I'm not surprised."

"Yeah, neither am I. But I'm not going to let it or him spoil my fun!"

"That's my girl!" She gave her a hug.

"Have a good time Dear!"

"Thank you Mother."

Mona walked to the door and turned around.

"And don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Mr. Sensitive."

"Oh Christopher! This is amazing!" Angela turned around taking it all in. The plane had a mini bar, refrigerator, stove, and a microwave. There was a cupboard stocked full of cans of soup, crackers, peanut butter, cookies, cereal, and a couple boxes of pasta. A couch, two chairs, and a T.V. took up the one side and a bedroom and bathroom took up the other. There was also a bookcase filled with books and finally a C.D. player with various C.D's lying in a shelf next to it.

Christopher chuckled. "I'm glad you like it."

"Like it? I love it!"

"Well I just want you to be comfortable." He winked at her.

Angela smiled and walked over to him. She put her arms around him and pulled him down to her and gave him a kiss.

"HMMM I like that!" He grinned.

"ATTENTION! We will be taking off in five be sure you are buckled in." The pilot announced over the intercom.

"Come on." He took her hand and led her to her seat. She buckled herself in and he sat down in his own and did the same.

"So what are we going to do first?" Angela asked.

"Well after we're allowed to walk around I thought we could do a little dancing and then I can make us some lunch. Or if you want we can watch some movies."

"That all sounds heavenly." Angela smiled.

"That's because you are." Christopher winked. He leaned over and gave her a long, lingering kiss. They felt the plane take off and in a few moments they were in the air.

"Safe travels Angela."

"Safe travels Christopher."

##################################

Tony stalked into the classroom and slammed his books on his desk. He couldn't believe that at this very moment Angela was flying to Athens with that jerk! Couldn't she see what a phony he was? He sat down and put his head in his hands.

"Tony?"

"WHAT?" He snapped.

"Hello Tony."

"I said.." He picked his head up. "Oh Kathleen."

"Oh Kathleen? Yeah, that feels right." She sat down next to him.

Tony sighed. They hadn't spoken since their disastrous date a few days ago. He knew he should have reached out but the truth was he was preoccupied by Angela and Christopher to give it or her much thought. He knew it was wrong and now seeing her in person he felt like a jerk. She didn't deserve to be treated this way and he owed her an apology.

"Kathleen, I owe you an apology."

"Yeah, you do." She picked up her Art book and began thumbing through it.

"Kathleen look. I was a jerk the other night. I was preoccupied and I didn't give you the attention you deserve."

"You most certainly did not!" Kathleen continued flipping through her book.

"I was just so worried about Angela."

Kathleen sighed.

"Yeah, I know! It's Angela! It's always Angela!"

"Kathleen look. Angela is my best friend and I don't trust this guy she is dating. And now they're on their way to Athens as we speak."

"They are? Well I hope they have a good time."

"I would too normally. But I just have this weird feeling about Christopher. I think. No, I know Angela is in over her head."

"She's a big girl Tony."

'I know that I just…."

"Good afternoon class!" The professor walked in, cutting off their conversation.

"Good afternoon." a few students said back.

"Well, I have some good news for some of you. But first I wanted to tell you all how pleased I am by how well you all did. This was one of the best art classes I have ever taught."

A scattering of applause went around the room.

"But there were four of you who did exceptionally well and those four will be joining me on a trip overseas."

A surprised and excited murmur overcame everyone.

Who were the four students?

Where were they going?

A student raised his hand.

"Yes Greg?"

"Who are the students?"

"The four students are: Stacy Carson, Danny Harrison, Kathleen Sawyer, and Tony Micelli."

"Oh gosh! I can't believe it!" Kathleen squealed. She raised her hand.

"Yes Kathleen?"

"Can you tell us where we are going?"

"Yes, I can. We are going to Athens."

Tony felt a jolt go though him.

Athens!

They were going to Athens!
