Helen, Sharon, Vanessa and Izzy are the best of cousins since 3.

One Christmas time, their cousin Gil visited their town in Ohio because

he's gonna promote his single with the band The Moffatts called "If You

Only Knew". Sharon and Izzy were already Clint's and Bob Moffatt's

girlfriends. The girls' aunt Angela noticed Gil from her window and she

went down to meet him.

"Gil, is that you ?", Angela was shocked by his physical changes.

"Hello auntie!", Gil hugged and kissed his beloved auntie and

left. The four girls also went down.

"Hello cowsin!!", the four girls hugged him.

"Hello to u too my beloved cowsins!", he greeted back.

"Is Clint with you?", Sharon immediately asked about her

boyfriend.

"I know you are too excited to see him Sharon . But calm down,

you are gonna see him. And I know Izzy, you're too excited for Bob!", Gil

told the two ladies.

"The lovebirds are gonna reunite again!", Vanessa said with a

little sadness.

"Don't be sad Vanessa! …..Hey cowsin, are Scott and Dave still

single?", Izzy asked.

"Yeah! They're still looking especially Dave!", Gil told her.

"Why especially him?", Helen was interested.

"His rich girlfriend left him because the girl loved him

because he's rich and she left him 'coz she found someone who is richer. So

right now, he's really depressed! He would recover soon!", Gil told the bad

news.

"Poor him!", Helen was a little bit sad.

"This is your chance Helen! Chance to be with him!", Izzy

immediately said.

"Yup! And we will arrange a date for the both of you!", Gil

suggested.

"Yeah! I can't believe it cowsin that this is the first time

you think such a good idea!", Sharon joked him and they laughed.

"Hey! I was the one who helped you to get Clint stupid!", Gil

told her .

"Sorry sir!", Sharon saluted him.

"Are you kidding ? Me and Vanessa will date those two

hearthrobs? I don't think so!", Helen refused to agree.

"It's so impossible to happened. I know cowsin that you and

those guys are really THAT close. But it doesn't mean that if we date them,

they would like us!", Vanessa added.

"She's absolutely correct! Look at what happened at the first

meeting! We met them but…..they didn't talk to us! I really thought Dave

would talk to me ! Unfortunately, he is talking to his

...then-girlfriend!!", Helen said it with dramatic feelings.

"I'm sorry cowsin Helen, that's too awful for you! Don't

worry, I'll find a way to make Dave like you!", Gil comforted his cousin.

"Yeah right! As if it would happened!", Helen find it very

impossible.

"Oh before I forgot, there is a good news that I would like to

spread to u ladies, first hand!", Gil announced.

"What is it? You have a girlfriend?", Vanessa asked.

"Vanessa, that "girlfriend" thing is definitely out of the

question for our cowsin!", Izzy told her cousin.

"I don't think so Izzy. My manager told me that there are about

23 girls who are chasing me everyday. And today, there were 22 plus four of

you, that would make 26 chicks following me around! Isn't this great??",

Gil is making his head big again.

"For you is great. For us,…it's great also…..to cut your very

shiny hair!", Sharon said, already holding a scissor. She and the rest of

the gals chased Gil with saying, "WE ARE GONNA CUT YOUR HAIR!!". And the

chase reached the backyard of the house.

 

CHAPTER 2: Move Over (Spice Girls)

Gil told his cousins that he and The Moffatts are going to the

mall. He invited them and the girls were very excited.

"Helen, are u ready to meet your beloved Dave?", Gil asked her.

"Cowsin? I'm sorry but….I'm not that desperate to meet him!", she

defended herself.

"Action speaks louder than words!", Gil said.

"Let's go guys! Why are u so slow?", Izzy was very impatient to

see her Bob.

"What is your problem Izzy? Are you afraid that Bob might see

another girl?", Vanessa was a bit mad.

"No! I know that he wouldn't do it! I haven't see him for weeks!

I'm his girlfriend remember!", Izzy explained.

"Guys! Pls. Shut up!! I'm trying to fix my eyebrow!", Sharon

complained.

And the phone rang. Helen hurriedly answered the phone.

"Hello!", Helen said.

"May I speak to Gil pls.", a voice from the phone.

"Umm…who is this?"

"Tell him it's Dave"

"Really?"

"Pardon?"

"Umm…nothing. Hold a sec!", she picked the cordless and gave it

to Gil. "Cowsin, guess who is on the phone?"

"Who? A girl?", Gil asked.

"Just check it out, chickboy!", Helen was excited for Gil to

know.

"Hello", Gil said.

"Hey man, it's Dave!"

"Oh Dave!", Gil was surprised and he looked at Helen with a

smile.

"Gil, we are about to go to the mall! I heard that you are

gonna bring someone!", Dave asked.

"Yup! Actually, they are four!", Gil confirmed.

"So see you guys there!", Dave said.

"Ok bye!"

"Bye!", and Dave hunged-up

"Wow! Helen can't stop her grinning in her face!", Gil told her.

"I'm lucky that he didn't asked who answered or else I'm dead!",

Helen refused to admit that she was happy to answered Dave on the phone.

"Hey ladies, we gotta go! They are on their way to the mall!!",

Gil told them and went outside.

"We are coming down!", Vanessa, Izzy and Sharon went down the

stairs. And they went outside with Helen to get their bikes and they all

rode together to the mall.

CHAPTER 3: This is the right time (The Corrs)

Gil and the 4 ladies arrived at the mall. The Moffatts were

waiting for them in the entrance.

"Hello everyone!", Scott greeted them. Gil gave a high

five to the four brothers. Clint and Bob kissed their girlfriends. Vanessa

and Helen were just stand up and staring at the rest.

"I'm really lucky that I'm single!!", Vanessa was sarcastic.

"Yeah! I mean we have enough privacy to ourselves!",

Helen added and they laughed.

"Hey stop laughing and come over there!", Gil went to them.

"Are you crazy cowsin? We can't relate to them! You guys

can!", Vanessa said.

"I'm sure they wouldn't talk to us….AGAIN!", Helen added.

"I thought you wanna see Dave!", Gil said.

"Yeah I could see him 4 blocks away from here!", Helen

told him. Vanessa laughed. Then later, Dave and Scott came to the 3.

"Hi ladies!", Scott and Dave greeted them. The two

ladies were surprised.

"Hhell…lo!", the two ladies greeted back.

"By the way, Scott and Dave, this is Vanessa and

Helen!", Gil introduced the guys to the girls. The two boys and two girls

shaked hands.

"I think we have met you guys before!", Dave said.

"Yeah! We have met already! That was….a long time

ago!", Helen answered.

"The two lovebird pairs were there, hugging each

other and so that's why we are here!", Scott said. Then Vanessa stared the

two pairs, who were very sweet to each other. She hoped that she and Scott

will do the same one day.

"I think we shall go in! I'll just call the two love

pairs over there! You guys better go inside!", Gil said. The two girls were

horrified and look each other.

"Ok, we will wait for you guys inside!", Dave said.

"Bye Cowsin!", Helen said with a little fear. As so

as Vanessa, she gave Gil an odd look..

"We shall go inside then!", Scott said.

"Yeah I think so!", Vanessa said. And they began

to walk inside. The two girls were at the back of the two guys.

"I can't believe cowsin left us to be with them!",

Helen whispered.

"And he really meant that!", Vanessa said.

"I'm sorry ladies. I think we should walk together

in the same line!", Dave said.

"That would be cool!", Scott said and the two boys

went to each ladies' side. Scott went to Vanessa's side and Dave went to

Helen.

"Yeah! It really looks nice!", Vanessa insist. Helen

just smiled.

"So how are you ladies doing?", Dave asked.

"We are doing great except that it's really

freezing right now!", Helen said and she's freezing.

"So here's my coat! I'll borrow it to you so that

you'll feel warm!", Dave removed his black coat and gave to Helen. She was

shocked and blushing.

"Thanks Dave!", Helen had no choice but to wear his

coat. Dave helped her wear the coat and smiled at her.

"Are you ok now?", Dave asked. Helen just nodded.

And they waited in front of a shoe shop. Soon, Gil and the two

pairs followed inside and saw them.

"Sorry guys for waiting for us!", Clint said with

his left arm at Sharon's shoulder.

"I think Izzy and I needed to go to the bathroom

for a while! We will be back in a few minutes!", Vanessa said and pulled

Izzy's hand. Izzy didn't answered and they went to the bathroom. Vanessa

has a scoop to Izzy.

 

 

CHAPTER 4: No Good For Me (The Corrs)

"What? He was so sweet! I told you, they are gonna

be a cool couple!", Izzy was happy to hear Vanessa's story.

"Thanks to Helen! She said she was freezing and

then…..Dave gave his cool black coat to her! Isn't it great?", Vanessa said.

"I bet! You and Scott gonna be hit!", Izzy told

Vanessa.

"Me and Scott?? I'm sure we are gonna be a very

ugly, mismatch couple! Keep dreamin Izzy", Vanessa insist while brushing

her hair.

"I'm actually praying for you and Scott, Dave and

Helen, Clint and Sharon and me and Bob so that….we could be a very happy

family!", Izzy said with a smile.

"As I've mentioned earlier, keep dreamin! It's not

gonna happened with me and Scott!", Vanessa insist. "We gotta go outside!",

she added.

"Yeah! Scott is waiting for you outside!", Izzy

teased her cousin and opened the door.

"Shut up!", Vanessa said and they walked towards

the group.

"Are you ready guys?", Bob said.

"Yeah we are!", Izzy said. And they walked. And

then Sharon saw a dress shop that dresses were already had discount up to

50%.

"Helen, the store is on sale!! Come on let's go

inside!", Sharon pulled Helen inside the store without any word.

"Sharon, be careful!", Clint said and the rest went

inside the store. All of them were looking at the clothes which are on

sale. Then Helen found a very cool black ray-ban shades and she fit it. Gil

and Dave went to her.

"Wow! A lady is now a lady!", Gil teased her. Helen

was shocked that the two were staring at her.

"What are you doing there?", Helen asked.

"I can't believe you look like a babe in that

ray-ban sunglasses!!", Gil told her

"Thanks for saying that I'm just look like a babe

and not saying for I'm a babe! But that word is no place in my assets!",

Helen clarified.

"You better buy that shades! It looks cool on

you!", Dave gave her a compliment.

"Yeah right! Very funny!", Helen said and she

looked at the price. She was shock that the shade was worth $30. "Nice

price for a nice shades!", she was disappointed and putted the shades back.

"Anyway, I saw something there on the dress

section! See ya guys!", Helen wore a fake smile and went away.

"Poor Helen! This shades is really beautiful for

her! Do you agree Gil?", Dave asked Gil.

"That's her! To make her trip to the mall worth

it, she had to buy something that's worth it! She never buys really

expensive! You guys could buy expensive things!", Gil told Dave.

"Yeah we admit that we do buy those stuff! But

being rich is not all that fun, I tell you that!", Dave said.

"Why? Because of what happened to you? I'm sorry

about that man!", Gil comforted the sad man.

"Yeah, thanks. One day I wish I could found

someone who really cares for me!…. I can't believe it, I'm getting

sentimental again! Lets go to the corner!", Dave insist.

"You're absolutely right! Let's go!", Gil said

the two went there.

 

CHAPTER 5: Thank You (Alanis Morissette)

They spent the whole day at the mall. Gil and the ladies

returned to their home in the late afternoon. The Moffatts would visit them

in the evening.

"Helen!", Gil called her.

"What's up cowsin?", Helen asked.

"I have to give you something!", Gil said.

"You? Giving me something? Why are you doing that?", Helen

thinked for a second. "……umm…I know! You would give me something so that I

would never ever hold scissors in front of you!!", Helen joked.

"I could already runaway from you guys! You'll never catch my

beautiful hair again!", Gil said.

"Beautiful?", Helen pretends to cough.

"Ok! Actually, this thing doesn't come from me!", Gil insist.

"It's obvious! I'll go to church everyday if you gave me

something from you!!", Helen joked again. "So what is it?"

Gil gave Helen a box and when she opened it…..

"Oh my!…..the shades! The ray-ban shades! ….who gave

this?", Helen was very surprised.

"Ok ! The person who gave this thing is….Dave!", Gil slowly

said.

"What? You're kidding cowsin, I know that!", Helen thought

it was a joked.

"Trust me, Dave really gave you that shades!", Gil kept

telling her.

"Why he would give this shades to me? What did I do to

him?", Helen kept asking her cousin. Suddenly, they heard a knock.

"I'll get it!", Gil opened the door.

"Hi Gil!", The Moffatts were the guests.

"Hello man, come in!", Gil let them enter.

"Hello Helen!", Clint said and the rest followed.

"Hi guys!", Helen greeted them, still shocked about the

shades.

"Where are the ladies?", Bob asked. Then the ladies came

down afterwards.

"Hi Bobby!", Izzy ran to him and they kissed.

"Hi Sharon!", Clint went to her and they kissed.

"Hello everybody!", Vanessa said, just stood there

behind the stairs.

"Hi Vanessa!", Scott greeted her.

"Cowsin, could you call Dave? I want to ask him about

the shades!", Helen told her cousin.

"Why don't you go there? Are you shy?", Gil said.

"I'm not! We need privacy!", Helen said.

"Why? Are you gonna do something…", Gil said.

"Cowsin, I'm gonna get the scissors if you don't call

him!", Helen was sarcastic. Gil called Dave and Dave went to Helen on the

kitchen.

"Hi Helen!", Dave greeted her.

"Hi! I want to ask you about.."

"Yeah the shades! Gil told you already!"

"Why did you bought this for me? I don't get it!"

"Sorry if I made you shocked. I saw your expression

this afternoon and I felt so sorry for you! So that's why I bought this for

you!", Dave explained.

"That's so sweet of you but….this shades cost you big

bucks!", Helen insist.

"Yeah I know! I just want to make people happy!", he

claimed.

"Thanks for that! But…I felt so guilty that you used

your money for my needs…I guess!", Helen wasn't sure.

"You don't have to worry about my money Helen! It's ok!"

She looked at the shades again. "Thank you very,

very much Dave even though how much I was so embarrassed the fact that I

couldn't afford to buy this!", Helen said.

"You are very welcomed Helen!", Dave said. And they

stare each other for a few seconds.

"Hey you two!", Bob entered the kitchen. Dave and

Helen both stared at Bob. "ok! I'm sorry that …. I think I disturbed

you….", Bob said,

"No it's ok! We are about to go outside!", Dave

said. Helen just nodded.

"That's why I'm here! We have to eat! The pizza is

already here! Come on!", Bob was excited to eat and left.

"I guess your brother is very, very hungry!!", Helen

insist. Dave laughed at her.

"That's him! So that's why Bob and your cousin always

stayed at the restaurant!", Dave said.

"I told you guys come on!", Bob said and left again.

"Yes sir!", Helen saluted him . She and Dave just

laughed.

All of them had a great time that night especially

Helen 'coz she had a chance to know Dave a little bit.

CHAPTER 6: From This Moment On (Shania Twain)

After Gil and The Moffatts promotion tour in a

restaurant, they went to the park just to……hang-out. They were all sitting

in the grass. But poor Dave, who sat in the corner all alone. Helen noticed

it and she went to him.

"Hello Dave, you look so sad! I'm sorry about the

break-up!", she said.

"Hi! Thanks for the worries!", Dave said. He was

reading a Stephen King book.

"I'm too lazy to read books like that!", she said.

"I love to read scary stories. So that's why I

appreciate the movie "Scream" so much!", Dave said. He put down his book.

"If you are talking about scary movies, I think "I

know What You Did Last Summer" rules! I got really scared especially at the

ending part!", she said.

"I hate Neve Campbell's boyfriend in "Scream" ! He's a

total psycho!", Dave said.

"Absolutely! I really hate the part where he killed

Drew Barrymore! It really sucks to see her dead, hanging on the tree with

her intestines was shown! Disgusting!", Helen felt so disgusting when she

was telling the story.

"I really love to eat chicken right now!", Dave joked.

"I'm sorry Dave! I didn't mean to describe every

detail of that stupid scene! I'm really sorry!…..I'll shut up right now!",

Helen was very apologetic. Dave laughed at her.

"What's funny?", she was wondering and Dave is still

laughing at her. "Come on Dave, what are you laughing at?"

"Sorry Helen! I'm just kidding! I'm not eating

chicken right now!", Dave laughed at her. She gave him an odd look and

burst into laughter seconds later.

"I can't believe you Dave. You're great humorist!",

Helen said.

"You just make me laugh especially when you act so

disgusting!", Dave said.

"I imagined that stupid scene so that's why I feel so

disgusting!", Helen said and she smiled. Then they saw an ice cream vendor.

"Do you want some ice cream Helen?", he asked.

"Sure but….. I'm gonna pay for my ice cream!", she

insist.

"Sorry miss but…it's my part to pay something for a

lady!", Dave said.

"Yeah right Dave! Are we gonna argue again?", Helen

asked.

"You just let me pay your ice cream and we are gonna

stop arguing ok! Do you get it?", Dave said.

"I wish I couldn't get it! Ok…you won again!", Helen

initially gave-up on the argument.

"Yes! See I told you!", Dave said with happiness. And

the two went to the ice cream vendor. Dave chose chocolate while Helen

chose coffee. As usual, Dave paid the two ice creams.

"Thank you again Dave and don't ever pay for me

again! It's not good!", Helen insist.

"Ok! But it depends!", Dave added.

"Whatever! We have to eat this ice cream before it

really melts!", Helen said and they ate their ice cream. Gil and the rest

were staring to the two and made some comments about them.

"See! I bet that Dave and Helen will click!", Izzy

insist.

"Yeah you kept saying that from the beginning!",

Vanessa said. Izzy gave her an odd look. Vanessa just ignored it.

"My brother is in love again! I can't believe that's

happening again! Helen is ok for him!", Scott said. They all hope this is

for real.

CHAPTER 7: Have You Ever (Brandy)

Later in the evening, they went to the carnival.

Suddenly, Dave saw a girl who was very familiar to him. The girl saw him

and she went to him.

"Hello Dave! Long time no see!", it was Risa and she

kissed him on the cheek. Dave was shocked to see her.

"What are you doing here?", he asked.

"I miss you!", she said.

"You missed me after what have you done? I can't

believe you!", he was little mad.

"I'm really sorry!", she said. Then she saw Dave's

group. "Could you guys leave us alone for a minute?", she told the group.

The group left and Helen gave her an odd look. "I just realized that money

can't buy love! I know that the man I just left is richer than you! But I

just realized that money is not very important in a relationship between

two people! Pls. forgive me Dave! He's always hurting me!"

"Are u ok right now? I'm glad you really realized

that!", Dave was sympathetic to her.

" I still love you Dave after all! I'm really

sorry!", she cried and Dave hugged her. Everyone saw that even though they

are far away.

"Dave still loves that girl?…. I can't believe he

feels that!", Bob was protesting.

"Poor Dave! If you guys see it how much that girl

dumped Dave that made him really depressed! And then now, he still welcomes

the girl!", Scott added.

"Yeah , I could imagined that!", Vanessa said and

both of them looked at Helen for her reaction. Helen looked very shocked

and confused. "Don't worry Helen, you will just end up in him! I swear!",

Vanessa comfort her friend.

"I don't think that you have to swear 'coz it will

never happened! And through that…you can swear already!", Helen insist,

obviously very upset.

Back to Dave and Risa:

"Sorry I can't stay long! I have to go! My dad is

waiting for me! Thanks anyway for accepting me again!", Risa told Dave with

a stare.

" I understand about what happened! See ya again!",

Dave told her.

"Goodbye! I love you!", she kissed him.

"I love you too!", Dave told her and he waved his

hand. She waved hers as she went away. Dave went back to the group with a

smile.

"She came back to me! Isn't it that great?", Dave

said with excitement.

"Yeah that's great of you Dave! You're a lucky man!",

Clint told him and he wasn't happy about the news.

"Guys, what are you waiting for! Let's go!", Dave

said and he pulled Gil with him. Everyone followed. Helen, Scott and

Vanessa were at the very back, very worried about Helen.

"I really hope he changed his mind! This is not good!

This is stupid!", Scott said.

"Don't think Helen that I'm biased or something! The

truth is you're better than her! Dave was just blind to the truth!",

Vanessa said.

"Where did you learned that Vanessa? That….line!",

Helen said.

"Hey! I was B+ in english huh!", Vanessa said. Scott

laughed. "What's funny Scott? Are you insulting me?", Vanessa gave him an

odd look. Helen laughed.

"Not really but…..it's hard to believe!", Scott said.

"Uuuyyy…..they're getting too close!", Helen teased

them.

"Hey! That is scripted!", Vanessa said. Helen and

Scott laughed.

"Yes! Helen is smiling already! That's good of you!

You still tend to smile!", Scott was happy for her.

"Yeah! I can see that!", Vanessa said.

"It's better to move on than to keep hoping

especially if that hope would never come!", Helen said with a smile.

"I don't think Mr. Webster ever said that! See

Scott, I'm her teacher so that's why she's smart like…..me!", Vanessa

joked. Scott gave her a fake cough. Helen just laughed. Never lose hope.

 

CHAPTER 8: Rollercoaster (B*Witched)

They went to the different rides and games in the carnival.

And their final ride is a rollercoaster called "space shuttle" where they

will go upside down for three times and they would go ride back and forth.

"Are you ready guys to get sick?", Clint joked.

"No! Not me!", Sharon was scared when she

observed how the people behaved in that ride.

"Come on Sharon! I don't have someone beside me!

Don't worry, I'll be there for you!", Clint told her with his arms around her.

"Na na na na , na na na na, na na na!!", Helen

is singing their song. The girls told her she's corny! The guys just laughed.

"You girls are just jealous! She's our big fan

'coz she knew our songs!", Dave insist and they laughed. Helen smiled and

rolled her eyes to Vanessa.

"See! He likes you!", Vanessa whispered to Helen.

"Yeah guys, come on now before the line will go

longer! Come on Dave, you're gonna be my partner!", Gil told him and pulled

Dave.

"Come on cowsin, don't let leave Helen alone on

that ride!", Izzy told him. Helen was shocked when she heard her name.

"I know you need a partner Helen! So that's why

I'm here! Sorry Gil! You're old enough to have a partner!", Dave said and

grabbed Helen's hand and they sat. Vanessa smiled at her. Helen gave her an

odd look.

"Dave! You just can't leave me here alone!", Gil

protested. He can't find any place in the ride except the very front row.

"I can't believe I'm here alone….at the front!", he had no choice but to

sit. And the ride had started. Everyone was screaming especially Sharon,

who was very scared at heights.

"Oh my God, Clint I can't take it anymore!",

Sharon was very scared.

"Don't worry Sharon, I'm here, holding your hand"

"Thanx for the contribution to my calmness!",

Sharon said.

And the ride has ended. Everyone enjoyed, even Sharon.

"To be honest Clint, I thought being in that ride

could really kill you! But afterwards, I feel sooo cool!", Sharon told him

with an excitement.

"See I told you! Does my contribution has a great

effect on you?", Clint asked.

"It's 100% effective! Thanks Clint!", and Sharon

hugged him.

Meanwhile, Gil was in a little bit trauma. "It's all your

fault Dave!", Gil accused him.

"Cowsin, girls hate men who are….childish! You're 16! Joey

always telling to Dawson that to "grow up"! Do it man!", Helen defended her

rollercoaster partner.

"She's very correct!", Dave approved to her.

"I got so scared esp. I'm in the front all by myself! You

guys make me scared!", Gil protested and went away. Dave and Helen looked

each other for a while and then laughed.

"Don't they looked like a real couple guys?", Bob said,

talking to Scott and Vanessa.

"I think Helen is hoping again! She gave in to your

brother!", Vanessa said.

"Guys, that's only a first stage about getting to know each

other! There are more stages to come in the future you know!", Scott said.

"Yeah right dr. love!", Vanessa rolled her eyes to him.

"Scott had many experiences on love because he's always get

busted by the ladies! So far, he was busted 6 times now!", Bob embarrassed

his older brother to Vanessa. She just laughed.

"Hey Bob, that's not true! Look Vanessa, my teachers told me

that I was so romantic to play Romeo in our play. And according to them,

take note, that the lady audiences fell in love with me! The problem is,

I'm not yet finished finding those ladies!", Scott really insist.

"The only thing I could only tell you Scott is…..keep

dreamin! Let's go guys!", Bob told his brother and Vanessa couldn't stop

laughing.

 

CHAPTER 9: I Know Where It's At (All Saints)

As they are about to leave the carnival, they noticed

something missing………

"Guys, have you seen Dave?", Clint asked. Everyone

said no.

"Where the heck he went?", Gil asked. Everyone panicked.

"Did you know where he went Helen?", Bob asked and

she was shocked.

"How come should I know?…after we rode the space

shuttle, I just…separated from him and he started hanging-out with

cowsin!", Helen said.

"Yeah! He hang-out with me but after a few

seconds….he's gone! I didn't mind 'coz I thought he's with one of you

guys!", Gil said.

"So what are we gonna do? Searching around this

place?", Izzy said.

"Yes we have to 'coz his parents will surely kill us

all!", Vanessa gave an wonderful suggestion.

"Yeah! So I think guys, we must separate and all of

us must search the different places here!", Scott told the plan. And so

they went to the different corners of the carnival. Scott is with Vanessa,

Bob with Izzy , Clint with Sharon and Gil with Helen.

Then with Gil and Helen……

"Helen, I'll just buy a water. I'm too thirsty!

Just keep looking for Dave!", Gil told her.

"So where do we meet?", Helen asked.

"We shall meet here at around 6 minutes, get

it?", Gil said.

"Be sure you know this place or else….you'll go

home on our own!", Helen said.

"I'm not scared at that anymore! I know my

way!", Gil said and he left. Then Helen kept looking for Dave until….she

found him in the arcade he's enjoying with the playstation.

"Dave, what the hell you're doing here?",

Helen to him. Dave looked at her.

"Oh hi Helen!", he said.

"Did you know that all of us are looking for

ya? We are about to left and then you just…lost. Come on, stop playing!",

Helen pulled Dave from his seat.

"Oh I'm sorry Helen! I didn't notice!", Dave

apologized and then he was silent for a while. "Are you mad at me?", he was

concern.

"Before yeah, now I don't know!", Helen said.

"I'm really sorry Helen. Now could you forgive

me?", Dave begged her to forgive him.

"Yeah I forgive you. But what about them?",

Helen said.

"Yeah I know! I'm really sorry!", Dave said

again. The two went back to the place where she and Gil will meet. But

there are no signs of Gil. Bob and Izzy saw them.

"Dave, where have you been?", Bob asked.

"Look I'm really sorry guys! I didn't meant to

happen !", Dave said.

"You just can't stop apologizing and you keep

apologizing forever and ever!", Helen was sick of his apologies.

"That's Dave! He was just concern for other's

feelings!", Bob said.

"I just don't want people to hate me!", Dave

insist.

"And now, where the heck cowsin is? We are supposed

to meet here in 6 minutes! And he said that he wasn't scared anymore! We

have been here for….12 minutes!", Helen said.

"Once cowsin is separated ….he doesn't know where to

come back!…….Don't ever think that we are gonna search another one! One is

already enough!", Izzy said.

"And I told him that once he doesn't showed up,

he'll go home on his own!", Helen said.

"So I guess he has to go home on his own! Come on

let's go! We gonna meet the rest at the entrance!", Bob said and they went

to the entrance. When they met the rest there….

"Hey Dave, where have you been?", Vanessa asked.

"I'm really sorry guys! I didn't noticed that you

guys already left the arcade! At least, I had the nice time there 'coz I

won!", Dave said.

"Yeah you won and you make us suffer huh!", Clint said.

"I said I'm sorry! It would never happened again!",

Dave promised.

"Be sure to that ! Liars go to hell!", Helen said.

"I'll treat you twice when I broke that promise!",

Dave said.

"Yeah right!", Helen make funny face to Dave.

"What about Gil?", Scott asked.

"Yeah! Where is he?", Sharon asked.

"Actually, Gil broke Helen's promise that they gonna

meet at that place in 6 minutes! But 10 minutes had passed and still, he

doesn't show up! The punishment is he'll go home by himself!", Bob explained.

"And he's a liar too!", Dave added.

"He said he won't get lost again unlike before!",

Helen said.

"Yeah! I think we must go home right now! I'm so

tired!", Clint said.

"Leave him alone there somewhere!", Scott said and

all of them left without the poor Gil.

CHAPTER 10: When You Believe (Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey)

The group went to the hotel where The Moffatts were

staying. They were so thrilled that they saw Gil, seating at the lobby,

waiting for them.

"See I told you guys! I can go home by myself!",

Gil told them.

"So that's why you never showed up!", Scott said.

"Yup! Why? Did you guys waste your time looking

for me?", Gil said with a laugh. Everyone just stared at him.

"No! We had a deal remember cowsin?", Helen said.

Then she added, "I gotta go to the bathroom! Where's is it?"

"It's on the right of that Chinese restaurant!",

Bob said.

"Thanks! See ya guys!", and Helen went to the

bathroom. When she was about to go to the cubicle, she accidentally bumped

a old lady.

"Ooops…. Oh I'm really sorry maam! Are you ok?",

Helen was concerned for the old lady.

"Yeah I'm fine! It's ok! Don't worry about it!",

the old lady said. But suddenly, she noticed something…"Your face is kind

of familiar to me!", she said and she really stared at Helen.

"Really? Have we met? Are we connected to each

other?", Helen asked.

"Yeah! I remember you! You must be the cousin of

Izzy and Sharon who are the girlfriends of Clint and Bob!", she said.

"Yeah!….. I'm their cousin! …wait a minute! You

must be Mrs. Sheila Moffatt!", Helen now remembered her.

"Yes I am! And you must be… I know your

name……..now I forgot!", Sheila can't remember Helen's name anymore.

"To refresh your mind, I'm Helen!", she said.

"Yes you are Helen! I'm really sorry that I forgot

your name!", Sheila apologized.

"It's ok Mrs. M!", Helen said.

"But don't ever think that I'm that really old to

forget names! I've met too many people in the past days and I can't hardly

recall their names!", Sheila insists.

"Yeah I understand!", Helen laughed a little bit.

"So how are you guys doing right now?", Sheila asked.

"We're ok!", Helen said.

"You know what, I just found out something about

you recently!", Sheila told her. Helen's heart skipped a beat.

"What is it? Have I done something stupid?", she

was nervous.

"Not really my darling!", Sheila said, her hand was

in Helen's shoulder. "About you and Dave!"

"Me and Dave? Why? We didn't do anything! We are

just friends!", Helen was so defensive.

"The boys, except Dave obviously, said that you had a

crush on him! And you guys look sweet whenever you're together!", Sheila

teased her. Helen was surprised by what Sheila was saying. "They told me

that you guys are so sweet at your house last night!"

"No! It's just…….we are really good friends you

know!", Helen was confused.

"You know Helen, Dave just broke up with this

lady…..", Sheila said.

"Yeah she's Risa! I've heard about that! It's too

awful!", Helen said.

"I just wish that one day, Dave will fall in love with

you 'coz I know that you are gonna be a better couple!", Sheila assumed

Helen. Helen just laughed.

"I don't think that would happened!", she said.

"Why?", Sheila asked.

"Because…this evening at the carnival, Risa was so

sorry for what she had done to Dave and then….he just welcomed her back!",

Helen told her.

"How did you know that?", Sheila asked.

"They…..kissed! Yeah they did it!", Helen told her.

"I can't allow that to happen! She dumped him and she

putted Dave into depression!", Sheila was a little bit furious.

"I think Dave is happy with Risa and…I could see

that!", Helen said.

"No! He's just blind! I'll just make sure that Dave

will fall in love with the right girl….and that's you!", Sheila told Helen.

"Huh?", Helen was speechless.

 

CHAPTER 11: I Never Really Loved You Anyway (The Corrs)

Helen was surprised by what Sheila told her. Sheila knew

everything about Helen's feelings for Dave. And the two talked for an hour

in the bathroom. Meanwhile, the girls' aunt Angela fetched them. When they

are on their way home, The Moffatts still hang-out with them. Helen was

speechless for the whole journey 'coz she was sleeping and Dave is sleeping

on Helen's right shoulder. Everyone was staring at the two. They really

looked so sweet. And after 10 minutes, they arrived at home. Bob and Scott

waked the two up.

"Hey you little bugs, wake up now!", Bob is yelling

at the two. Dave and Helen woke up. And they all went inside the house.

"Do you guys want to watch "Independence Day"?",

Angela asked the group.

"Yeah! That movie rules!", Gil yelled. The rest

were staring at him. "Oops…sorry! I'm just so excited!", he insist. A few

minutes later, Dave and Helen were both sleeping on the couch with their

both heads on each other.

"Oh! The cute looking couple is sleeping again!",

Clint said.

"I thought we are cute! How come you're telling

them they're cute?", Sharon protested.

"Of course we are cuter than them. I just said that

they're "cute" and not "cuter"!", Clint insist and Sharon puts her head in

Clint's left shoulder. Then suddenly, somebody doorbells.

"I'll get it!", Vanessa stood up and she opened the

door.

"Hi sweety chump!", the boy with a eyeglasses said

with a scary smile. Vanessa screamed and shut the door. Everyone was

alarmed except to those who are sleeping at that time.

"Vanessa what happened?", Izzy rushed to her side

and trying to calm down her. Vanessa was so shocked and she almost can't

breathe.

"Are you ok ?", Scott rushed also to her side and

comforting her.

"I can't believe he's back!", Vanessa said with a

soft voice.

"Who?", Sharon asked.

"Jake!", Vanessa said.

"Jake is back?", Izzy was shocked.

"Whose Jake?", Scott asked.

"Jake was the guy who kept courting Vanessa. She

busted him several times but…. I guess that nerdie is so obsessed with

her.", Sharon explained.

"He's stalking at her everyday, every hour, every

minute, every second!", Izzy said.

"Umm….just everyday! And I really tried to avoid

him! I thought he left already for good in France and then…..he's back!

What's with me that makes him so crazy?", Vanessa wondered.

"Because you're a chick!", Gil said.

"I'm not cowsin! Stop that!", Vanessa protested.

"Is he still there?", Clint asked. Vanessa looked at

the window.

"Unfortunately, yeah! And he would never stop until I

said "yes" to him! He thinks he has still the chance!", Vanessa said.

"That guy was a real dork! I'm absolutely look better

than him!", Scott insist. Vanessa smiled. "Yeah that's for sure!", she

said. Izzy gave her a big smile and Vanessa gave her a dark look.

"What I'm gonna do?", Vanessa was trembling.

"I gotta idea! Just watched there everybody. Don't

worry Vanessa, we could get him out of here!", Scott said and opened the

door. Jake was standing with a bouquet of rose.

"Why are you here?", Scott asked.

"I'm looking for my sweety Vanessa!", Jake said with a

smile.

"Yuck!", Vanessa said.

"Vanessa honey?….pls. talk to me! I need your arms

around me!", Jake said. Scott laughed. "What's so funny?", Jake asked.

"Funny?….you!", Scott said and everyone laughed. "Oh

first of all, I just want to apologized…"

"For laughing me?….what you did was totally

unforgiven!", Jake insist.

"No! Not that! I wanna apologized because…I already got

her!", Scott said.

Jake's eyes grew bigger for what he heard.

"Yup! That's true! Come here Vanessa!", Scott called her

and Vanessa went out. She held his hand so tight.

"This is…totally humiliating! I'm just dreaming!", Jake

was freaking out.

"I'm sorry but… this is a reality!! Don't worry fella,

there are a bunch of girls outside waiting for you!", Vanessa said.

"Those girls are nothing for me! You are meant for me!",

Jake said.

"Sorry! Scott and I love each other and nothing would

changed that!", Vanessa said.

"This is not fair!", Jake screamed and runaway. The

grouped clapped. Vanessa removed her hand from Scott's

"You could win an Oscar for that Vanessa!", Scott said.

"I would like to thank the academy for this big event

where the poor fella cried!", Vanessa said. They laughed. "Thanks Scott for

helping me!"

"I really hope he would get scared of you after this! I

can't believe that he's really mad for you!", Scott said.

"Yeah! And he's a nerd!", Vanessa said. They laughed and

closed the door.

CHAPTER 12: I'll Be There For You (The Moffatts……at last!)

The group had a wonderful night. They enjoyed watching

"Independence Day" especially Gil. And The Moffatts (with Dave) went home

at around midnight. The next day, Helen woke up and found herself in the

couch.

"What I'm doing here?….yeah!", Helen remembered last

night and she sneezed.

"Good morning Helen! How's your sleeping?……oh my God,

you're sick!", Angela puts her hand on Helen's forehead and yes……Helen was

sick.

"No way that I'm sick! You're just kidding me!", Helen

said with a little laugh.

"No! I'm not kidding you!", Angela said. The girls went

down later.

"Good morning everybody!", Vanessa said.

"What's going on?", Izzy noticed.

"Announcement: Helen is sick!", Angela told the girls. The

girls went to the couch beside Helen.

"Sick? She can't be sick right now!", Sharon protested.

"Especially now that their mall concert will already be

this afternoon! Helen has to watched Dave performed!", Vanessa teased Helen.

"Oh yeah!……I almost forgot! I wanna go!", Helen insist.

"No you can't! Look at you, you look like…..ah…..like

a……zombie!", Angela said.

"There a bunch of zombies at the mall so it's…ok!", Helen

said.

"I can't believe it! She finally admitted that she really

wants Dave!", Gil said with a pure joy. The rest express their joy.

"Dave is not the main reason why I wanna go there ok! I

will be there for moral support to the group!… And to cowsin!", Helen

explained.

"But Dave is a part of the group….", Sharon added.

"Yeah I know! There's nothing more personal about my

support!", Helen kept explaining. "I gotta go, I'll get some water!", Helen

find difficult to stand up. On her way to the kitchen, she got dizzy and

few seconds later, she collapsed and blackout. Sharon went to the kitchen

minutes later and she found Helen on the floor. She screamed.

"Guys! It's Helen on the floor!", Sharon shouted and

everyone went hurriedly to the kitchen. Everyone panicked. Vanessa called

the doctor, and the rest brought Helen to the girls' room.

A few hours later……….

"Oh my God….what happened……!", Helen said very softly,

tried to open her eyes.

"Helen are you ok?", Gil said as he and the rest (including

The Moffatts) rushed to her side.

"Ahh….. I don't know!…I guess..!", Helen said softly.

"We are so worried about you!", Dave told her. She was

surprised to see him and the rest of The Moffatts there.

"Dave, guys, what are you doing here?", Helen's grew little

bigger.

"Izzy called us and she told us what happened and so…..we

rushed here!", Clint said.

"By the way, the doctor said that you have a high fever and

that's the cause why you collapsed few hours ago! He recommended you to

rest for a week before you become hyper again!", Angela explained.

"So that means I can't go to the concert later!", Helen said.

"Unfortunately, you have to stay here with me, whether you

like it or not!", Angela said.

"Don't worry auntie, we will have a good time later!",

Helen insist.

"Yeah! Too bad you wouldn't see us!", Bob was a bit sad.

"Especially…me!", Gil said. Helen hit him with her pillow.

Everyone laughed.

"I can still manage to hit you even though how sick I am!",

Helen said. Everyone laughed.

"Umm… do you mind if I can use your bathroom here?", Dave asked.

"Sure go ahead!", Angela said. Dave went inside the toilet.

Vanessa whispered something to Scott and then to Angela.

"Guys, I think we have to go down now!", Scott announced.

Everyone got what Scott meant.

"Why? Where are you going?", Helen panicked.

"Just hanging around downstairs! You just stay there and get

rest!", Izzy said.

"We really think you have to be alone right now to help you

to…recover!", Clint said.

"So see ya Helen! And if you need anything, we'll be

downstairs!", Bob said.

"Bye!", they all told her.

"Hey! Come back!", Helen said and they closed the door. Dave

went out the toilet. "What happened? Why are you guys yelling?", he asked.

"I can't believe them. They left me here all alone because I

have to get rest or….whatever!", Helen explained. Dave went to the bed

beside her.

"Poor you!", Dave said.

"Yeah! That's my life! Everything that is happening is

weird!", Helen said.

"I don't think so! Mine is weirder than yours!", Dave explained.

"How come?", Helen said.

"Before we really that big, nobody like us! They find us too

odd!", Dave said with a little bit sadness in his face.

"No way!", Helen said.

"And now that we are recognized around the place, everyone

just loved us. I don't know if it's because of our fame or because of who

we are!", Dave explained. "Look at what happened to me and Risa. She dumped

me for a guy who is richer and more famous than me. She said she realized

her mistakes but…. I really don't know if she was ..honest to me!", Dave

added.

"I'm sorry Dave!", Helen was sympathetic to his feelings.

"You are lucky Helen! You don't need fame for people to like

you! You have a cool personality!", Dave gave her a compliment.

"No I'm not! I mean….my life is really boring! You guys are

lucky because your dreams were finally came true and you had the chance to

travel around the world! Me?……. I'm just going to travel around the Ohio!",

Helen insist.

"Maybe we are lucky for that! But trust me Helen,…you are

going high sooner than you think!", Dave said.

"Well….. I hope!", Helen said.

"You know….this is the first time that I really opened up to

someone, apart from my annoying brothers and my parents. And this is also

the first time that someone really listened to me!", Dave said. Helen was

surprised. "I also told this stuff to Risa before but….i don't think she

really listened and understood for what I feel", he added.

"Well…..it was an honor that I was the first one! Where's my

trophy?", Helen joked. Dave just laughed.

"I'm glad you listened!", Dave said and stared at her.

"Thanks also for making me higher! I guess I don't have to

give up counselor!", Helen smiled.

"You're very welcome my patient!", Dave smiled and they

laughed. It's seems that they are starting to like each other.

CHAPTER 13: Don't Say You Love Me (The Corrs)

The group went to the mall to see The Moffatts and Gil's

concert. Helen was left at home 'coz she's sick. They had the privilege to

stay in the back. The group and Gil performed some songs on their album and

his songs plus the duet "If You Only Knew".

Everyone cheered especially the girls. After the show, some girls went to

them to take their picture or to sign their autographs. Many things

happened during that day. Sharon went to a food store to buy some food for

her and Clint. When she got back, she saw something that made her mad.

Clint was seen with a fan name Joan and Joan kept flirting on him. Sharon

went immediately to them and confronted the two.

"Hello Clint!", Sharon was sarcastic and she was holding two

hotdog buns.

"Hello!", Clint said immediately after he saw her.

"I think you really had fun today especially…..at this moment!

And here's your food. I paid for it and this other hotdog is for "that

girl"! I think she's hungry or something!…well, enjoy your day Clint!",

Sharon putted the hotdog buns down and she left very upset. Clint

immediately left the girl and run after Sharon.

"Hey! Don't forget your hotdog or else I'll eat it!", Joan

said and finally ate the two hotdogs.

He slipped while he was running and Sharon catches him.

"Sharon, you have to understand! She's only a fan!", Clint

explained and he held her arm for him not to fall.

"Clint, as far as I can remember, this is the….4th time! But

this is the first time that I really freaked out!", Sharon said.

"I'm really sorry Sharon!", Clint begging her to forgive him.

"Yeah right! I'm sorry and I'm sorry and so on…..! Let me

think if I could forgive you this time! Ouch, my arm Clint!", she was hurt

and pushed Clint away. He almost slipped again but he's still standing.

"Sharon, you have to right now! I'm really sorry!", Clint

kept apologizing.

"Never ever pressure me on this Clint or else I'll tell the

whole world that "Clint Moffatt is a womanizer who needs chicks!"", Sharon

almost shout.

"No! Don't do that please!…Sharon!", Clint put his hand on

her lips. Sharon removed his hand on her lips and she kissed him for 5

seconds.

"Now are you satisfied with that?", Sharon said. Clint was

speechless.

"I'm…thirsty! Let's buy a drink shall we?", Clint asked,

still shock for what his girlfriend did.

"You know……I never thought that I would do that!", Sharon

explained.

"Me too neither!", Clint agreed and they went to the store

with holding hands.

Meanwhile in the backstage, Risa went to Dave……….

"Hi Dave!", Risa said. Dave greeted her back and they

kissed. Izzy and Bob watched them at their back.

"How are you?", Risa said happily.

"Great! It's nice to perform to everyone!", Dave said.

"The fans responded so well! You did a great job!", Risa

said, putted her hand on Dave's back. She noticed that Dave was a little

bit sad.

"What's wrong? Are you not happy to see me?", Risa asked.

"No! It's not like that! Umm…I felt so sorry for my friend

'coz my friend really dying to see our show but…..my friend is sick!", Dave

is referring to Helen. Izzy and Bob smiled and looked each other.

"I'm sorry for your friend. But could you tell me who is

this your friend?", Risa asked.

"Why?", Dave asked as long as Risa wouldn't find out about

Helen.

"Why? What kind of question is that? I'm your girlfriend

and I have to found out who are your friends, your teachers and even your

pets!", Risa protested. Dave thought of a reason.

"Because…that person wanted to remain anonymous! That

person is really shy!", Dave said.

"Are you sure?", Risa asked.

"Very positive!", Dave said.

"Ok! I gotta go! Someone has been waiting for me!", Risa said.

"And who is this someone?", Dave asked.

" Look who's talking. And now your asking who is this

person! You wouldn't tell me who is this person you're referring to!", Risa

said.

"I'm just curious who is this person!", Dave said.

"Tell me yours first before I tell you mine!", Risa said.

"Ah nevermind!…..see ya Risa!", Dave kissed her and she

said goodbye and left. Bob and Izzy were at the back, expressing their

opinions.

"I can't believe that my brother felt something so special

for your cousin!", Bob told Izzy.

"He's sad 'coz Helen wasn't here and she's sick! That's

another scoop!", Izzy said with a happy face.

"I guess Dave and Helen would hit together before the end of

the month!", Bob said.

"I agree with you Bob!", Izzy said. They are hoping that

Dave and Helen will fall in love.

 

CHAPTER 14: I Don't Want To Wait (Paula Cole)

At The Moffatts' hotel the next morning, Sheila and their

father Frank got the chance to speak with Dave about his lovelife in the

lobby. The boys told them what happened at the mall.

"Are you sure about Risa?", Sheila asked Dave.

"Umm…. I don't know! But I still love her!… I guess",

Dave told his parents.

"I don't like her anymore because of what she did to

you!", Frank said.

"Yeah I know that!", Dave said, agreeing with his parents.

"I just discovered something…. Your friends here in Ohio

are really great and very nice!", Sheila said.

"Yeah! That's true! Everyone is really nice and great!",

Dave said.

"I spoke to one of your friends and…… what is her name

again?", Sheila said.

"Who?", Dave asked.

"Umm…..Gil's cousin!", Sheila said, still trying to

remember the name.

"There are 4 of them. Which of the four?", Dave said.

"Give names", Sheila still trying to remember the name.

"There is Izzy, Vanessa, Helen…", Dave said.

"Yeah! Helen! She's going to be mad at me if she found out

this!", Sheila was happy.

"Why?", Frank asked, drinking his coffee.

"I accidentally bumped her at the bathroom the last time

they were here! I forgot her name when I saw her! She was very nice!",

Sheila said.

"Really? So that's why she was in the bathroom for an

hour!", Dave couldn't believe it.

"Yeah! It's my fault! I asked her a lot of questions! And

she was talkative as well!", Sheila really remembered Helen.

"She was very talkative and open! Actually, she missed our

concert! She's very sick!", Dave said.

" Yeah! Oh…..poor girl! You should prevent her from

getting sick so that she wouldn't miss the whole thing!", Frank said.

"The virus fell in love with her and we haven't got the

chance to stop it! First come, first serve!", Dave said and they all

laughed. It seems that his parents were very impressed of Helen and that

time, Dave starting to feel something special about her. He is very agree

of their impression of Helen Then he asked his parents…..

"Do you think it's proper to date other than your girl?",

Dave asked.

"Yes if it's not love! Is it a love thing?", Frank asked.

"No, no! It's a…..friendly date!", Dave said with a little

blush.

"Friendly date is a very decent act! And who is that

friend?", Frank said.

"Umm……Helen!", Dave said.

"That's very nice! Come on date her!", Sheila immediately

agreed.

"What?", Dave was shocked.

"Umm…nothing!", Sheila said.

"When?", Frank said.

"I'll ask her first if it's ok!", Dave told them.

"Ok! You could date her! She's a nice lady!", Frank agreed

with him.

Later in that afternoon, Dave called the girls house. Vanessa answered the

phone.

"Hello! May I speak to Helen please!", Dave was a little

bit nervous about the date.

"Who is this?", Vanessa said.

"Tell her it's Redford", Dave joked.

"Whose Redford?", Vanessa heard a laughter and then she

identified the voice. "Come on Dave, nice trick!", Vanessa laughed. "Don't

worry, I'll just call her!", she said.

"Thanks!", Dave said. Vanessa brought the cordless

upstairs and gave it to Helen on their bedroom.

"Who's this?", Helen whispered.

"It's a guy named Redford!", Vanessa joked her.

"Who's Redford?", Helen wondered.

"Just to talk to the guy ok. It's very urgent", Vanessa said

and left the room.

"Hello!", Helen said.

"Hi! How are you feeling?", Dave told her.

"I'm very fine Dave! That crazy moron", Helen identified his

voice.

"Who's moron?", Dave asked.

"Vanessa. If she has to choose a name to be tricked on me,

she must choose a decent and a very respected one. She said that you're

Redford. Ha, ha very funny girl!", Helen said and Dave laughed that Helen

never had an idea that he was the one who chose that name.

"You really find the name very funny huh!", Helen said.

Dave is still laughing.

"Well anyway….", Dave can't stop laughing. "I can't stop

it! I'm really sorry Helen!", he said and still trying to hold his laugh.

"Are you sure you're ok? I guess you have enough coffee!",

Helen was worried about his behavior.

"Yeah…. I think so!", Dave said and he finally stopped

laughing.

"You guys did great at the concert yesterday, according to

the morons!", Helen said.

"Yeah! It was a great show! Too bad you missed the whole

thing!", Dave said.

"Yup! I don't think that would be your last concert! I'll be

watching you guys on your next concert! I promise!", Helen said.

"Then you have to or else…..we will abduct you there!", Dave

said.

"Yeah! Rather than to be bored here!", Helen said and they

laughed.

"Well, Helen,……do you think it's ok for you if we….go out you know and we

date!", Dave said. Helen was speechless.

"Helen, are you still…..alive?", Dave asked.

"Yeah! Very alive! I mean….. I can't believe your asking me

on a date! But…there is one problem!", Helen couldn't believe it.

"What is it?", Dave was scared that she might refuse.

"I…. I really don't know what I have to wear!", Helen said.

Dave was relieved.

"You can wear anything as long as it's ….comfortable to

you!", Dave said.

"Are you sure?", Helen said.

"Yeah! I'll wear anything that fits on me you know!", Dave

said.

"Ah ok!….good!", Helen said. "So when is the date?", she asked.

"It would be great if it's….later tonight! Or I have to make

sure that you're feeling good!", Dave said.

"Don't worry, I'm very fine! I really rested

yesterday!…..tonight would be great I think!", Helen said and blushing.

"That's cool! So… I'll fetch you at around……7p.m.! Is that

ok with you?", Dave asked.

"Yeah! That's really great! So…I'll see you tonight and get

dress!", Helen said.

"Ok I'll see you! You better get rest before the virus will

date you!", Dave joked and Helen laughed.

"Ok bye Dave!", Helen said.

"Bye!", Dave said and hunged-up.

 

CHAPTER 15: Wonderful Tonight (Damage)

The cousins couldn't believe of what Helen told them. She is

getting ready for the big date of her life.

"See! I told ya! Dave likes her!", Izzy proclaimed.

"Stop it! Tonight is just a……friendly one!", Helen said

while combing her Posh-Spice hairdo.

"Friendly?……do you call that friendly?…come on Helen,

maybe Dave has a plan for you that will shock you forever!", Vanessa said.

"Are you scaring me?? I don't think Dave will eat me

but……why? Why he wanted to date me? It's too spooky!", Helen gave Vanessa

an odd look. Then someone knocked on the door.

"Hey….Dave is already here! I'll get the door for you

sweetie!", Sharon said and went down to open the door. Then is Dave!

"Hi Dave!", Sharon greeted.

"Hello Sharon!", Dave greeted back.

"Come in! Helen really prepared for this special

night!", Sharon said and Dave went inside and sat on the couch.

"Really?", Dave said.

"Umm…..I'll just..call her. You just wait ok!", Sharon

said the wrong words and hurriedly went upstairs and she call Helen.

"Dave is here! And he looks so……drop dead gorgeous!"

,Sharon finds Dave very handsome with his outfit. He's wearing a polo blue

and a white shirt inside.

"What?….it's only 6:42 p.m.!! How come he's early?",

Helen was surprised.

"See! He likes you ! So that's why is here very early!",

Izzy said.

"And he's excited to meet you!", Vanessa said.

"Your compliments are not worth it ok so….where's my

perfume?", Helen was confused because of Dave's early arrival. And she

found the perfume after 3 minutes. Before she went down, Helen made a last

look on the mirror and kept asking her friends for some advice.

"Do you think that I look….good and….decent?", Helen

asked her friends nervously.

"Yeah! Absolutely! You're a chick of the night!", Vanessa

said.

"Please don't kidding me right now! I really don't know

what I'm going to do!", Helen was shaking. Sharon came and held her hand.

"All you have to do is to be….true! True to yourself! Men

do like that!", Sharon said.

"Yeah! Just don't be shy and….it's free to mess around

'coz..it's only him!", Izzy said. Helen gave her an odd look.

"….I mean…just have fun with him ! He liked you from the

very beginning remember!", Izzy added.

"Yeah I guess! Well….thanx for being there for me!", Helen

said and the three smiled. "And see ya later morons!", Helen left and the

three gave her an odd look. She hurriedly went down and she saw Dave. She

find him very good-looking with his looks and outfit.

"Hi Dave!….I'm sorry that my outfit is not that good as

yours you know!", Helen embarrassed herself to him.

"No! You do look really…great Helen! You reminding me of Posh

Spice!", Dave really finds her grooming.

"Yeah right! As if I'm buying designer clothes! This shirt and

slacks only cost me $8 and I just bought it from a sale rack in the mall!",

Helen told him. She wore a black spaghetti strap and black slacks.

"You're too early!", Helen said.

"Sorry! I got bored in the hotel so that's why I'm here! I

rather be early than to be smacked in the face for being late!", Dave said.

"Don't worry, I don't do that! I'm not a that psychotic!",

Helen said and they laughed.

"Well…I think we should….get going! We have to decide where

are we going to eat!", Dave said.

"We don't have to talk about where to eat! You asked me out!

We could go anywhere as long as it's not that expensive!", Helen said as

they walk out the house.

"Why?", Dave asked.

"Umm……the truth is….. I really don't have enough money! I

haven't earned lately!", Helen said.

"You said that I asked you out and I have to choose where to

eat and….. I have to pay you!", Dave said.

"Do men really pay on dates?", Helen asked.

"Yeah! Gentlemen will always be caring for the ladies like you!

And…don't ever arguing with me about that! It's all settle!", Dave warned her.

"Alright! Whatever! You guys always win!", Helen said.

"We are just being….practical!", Dave said.

"Yeah right Dave! And there is one thing that you guys must not

forget!", Helen said.

"What?", Dave asked.

"Girl power!", Helen shouts and they laughed.

CHAPTER 16: What Can I Do (The Corrs)

Meanwhile, Izzy and Vanessa went outside for a walk.

"Izzy…. I want to ask you something but pls….. don't ever

laugh! Promise?", Vanessa told Izzy.

"Promise or….. it depends on what you gonna say!", Izzy

said. Vanessa gave her a dirty look.

"Ok alright! I promise! So what is it?", Izzy asked.

"Ok!", Vanessa took a deep breath.

"Come on! Don't be scared! I'm not gonna make you into a

sandwich ok!", Izzy was starting to be impatient and both seated on the bench.

"Ok, ok! Sorry! Umm….. I'm jealous of….Helen!", Vanessa

confessed.

"Why? Because Scott haven't ask you out yet?" , Izzy said.

"Yeah……. Sort of! I thought he really cares about me, you

know!", Vanessa said with a sadness in her voice.

"I'm sure he cares about you! He defended you from Jake

remember!", Izzy insist.

"I know but…..it's not enough! I want more than that

like……dating!", Vanessa said and Izzy hugged her.

"Are you saying that you're really obsessed with him?",

Izzy was a bit shocked.

"I'm scared to tell you but….. I am! I wish Scott knew what

are my real feelings for him and I wish…. I wish I could tell him that I

love him!", Vanessa said. Then, they both noticed that the persons at their

back were already quiet. The girls looked at the back and they saw…….

Frank and Sheila Moffatt. The couple stared at them. The girls were

horrified especially Vanessa.

"He….hello..there!", Izzy said. Vanessa fainted.

"Oh my God!", Sheila was shocked and the couple went to the

girls' place.

"Vanessa! Oh my…", Izzy was panicked. Frank carried Vanessa

and they looked for a taxi and they went to the hotel.

Meanwhile, Dave and Helen dated on a Chinese restaurant,

which is Dave's favorite dish. They are waiting for their food.

"Dave…..can I ask you something….personal, if you don't

mind?", Helen wasn't sure of what she's saying.

"Sure! What is it? I'll try", Dave answered and he drank

his coke.

"Ok…..what's going on right now between you and….Risa?

…I'm just curious", Helen asked.

"Nothing much! She said that she really meant her apology

to me! But I guess…she lied again! I kept calling her but….she's not always

at home! I think she met another one!", Dave said.

"Yes! This going to be good!", Helen thought.

"That's sooo mean! I think you shouldn't give her another

chance! She's a cheater! She's worse than the person who cheats in exams!",

Helen told him.

"Yeah! I think I made such a….huge, huge mistake! But

when she was sorry,….. it looks that she really meant it!", Dave said.

"Well…. I think she's just practicing in becoming an

actress! And no kidding, she's a better actress than me!", Helen joked and

they laughed. And the food arrived.

"Looks delicious don't you think?", Helen asked him while

her food was smoking and it looks really hot.

"Yeah! This is my favorite!", Dave said. They both

ordered a peking duck. And the two started eating.

CHAPTER 17: Crazy (The Moffatts)

Vanessa woke up after a few hours and she finds herself

lying on a couch in The Moffatts' hotel room.

"Where am I ?", Vanessa was trying to open her eyes.

Frank, Sheila, Izzy, Bob, Clint and Scott went to her after they heard her.

"Vanessa,…..are you alright?", Izzy was so worried.

"We are so worried about you!", Scott said.

"I…. Don't know if I'm ok! What happened?", Vanessa got up

and she sat. Scott, Clint and Izzy sat with her on the couch.

"Well…..you just slept in the park!", Sheila said.

"Do you want some water?", Clint said.

"That….that would be good!", Vanessa said. And Clint got up

and went to the refrigerator. Bob sat to Clint's place.

"I can't believe that I embarrassed myself in front of you

guys!", Vanessa said.

"How come? You're just…..sleeping for the past few hours!",

Scott said.

"I mean sleeping in front of you!", Vanessa added.

"What really happened? How come you faint?", Bob asked.

Vanessa was nervous.

"Nothing! She just saw Leonardo Di Caprio in….nude a few

hours ago!", Sheila lied to her step-sons.

"Yeah! She's his number one fan!", Izzy said. Vanessa was

relieved.

"Well…..how come you never told me that?", Scott asked.

"I'm…sooo scared to tell you 'coz you might just laughed at

me because I admire him!", Vanessa said. And Clint gave Vanessa a glass of

water.

"Thanks Clint!", Vanessa said and she drank it.

"I'll go down for a sec guys!", Izzy said.

"Hey! Why?", Bob asked.

"Don't worry Bob! I won't do something stupid! I'll just

buy something at the shop!", Izzy said.

"Ok! Just be back!", Bob said and they hugged each other.

Izzy left the room and she went down to the lobby. And she saw Dave and

Helen, sitting in the lobby. Izzy went to them.

"Hi!", Dave greeted her.

"Hi Izzy! What's up?", Helen said.

"Well….Vanessa fainted and Dave's parents saw us in the

park and so…..she was brought here!", Izzy explained.

"Why did she faint?", Dave asked.

"Umm….because Dave, your parents heard Vanessa, confessing

her love for your brother!", Izzy said. Dave and Helen were surprised.

"Scott? Did he knew that?', Helen was interested to find out.

"Thank God, nope! Or else she's dead!", Izzy said. "I had

to go to the shop. I had to buy something! See ya guys!", Izzy said and she

left.

"I think they are gonna be a cool couple!", Dave said.

"Yeah! It's obvious that they are meant for each other!",

Helen was sarcastic. Dave looked at her and he laughed.

"What?", Helen asked.

"Nothing!", Dave said and he kept laughing.

"Yeah right Dave!", Helen said and gave him a funny face.

Dave nudged her in the ribs.

Meanwhile, Izzy was on the shop. And then, she saw a magazine

which The Moffatts were on the cover. She opened the magazine and she

turned the page where they were featured. And she saw them. The feature is

all about a sort-of comic strip with the boys as the main cast. And Izzy

read the comic strip and when she read about Bob, she was shocked. She saw

a picture of Bob, kissing a girl who plays his girlfriend. He was the only

one in the group who kissed someone. Izzy knew that it was only a job but

Bob never told her about that. And she hurriedly bought the magazine and a

clip. And she went out to the shop and hurriedly went to their hotel room.

Dave and Helen noticed her expression.

"What happened? Why is she mad?", Helen said.

"I think we must go to our room to find out more about

this case!", Dave joked and they laughed. They went up to the room.

 

CHAPTER 18: You Learn (Alanis Morissette)

Izzy went immediately to the room and everyone noticed her reaction.

"Izzy, what's wrong?", Bob began to worry.

"Bob, what can you say about this?", Izzy was mad and she

showed the page where he kissed the girl.

"Come on Izzy, it's only a job! You know that!", Bob

explained. Vanessa got the magazine. She, Clint and Scott read the article

about the group.

"Yeah I know it's only a job! I'm not that dumb!", Izzy said.

"And so……what's the problem there?", Bob asked.

"Oh the problem…….the problem is….why didn't you told me

about this…crap thing?!", Izzy said.

"How come this is a crap? I looked so good on this pics!",

Clint joked. Vanessa and Scott laughed but Izzy and Bob gave them an odd look.

"Sorry….. we just leave you guys…..alone!", Clint said and

the three left the room. As they walk outside, they saw Dave and Helen coming.

"Hi guys!", Dave and Helen greeted them.

"Hi!", the three greeted back.

"Are you ok now Vanessa?…Izzy told us what happened!",

Helen was a little sympathetic to her cousin.

"Don't ever worry….. I'm fine!", Vanessa told her.

"What happened?….Why are you guys outside?", Dave asked.

"Well….Izzy and Bob had a mini debate about the magazine

that we are featured recently!", Scott said.

"What magazine? We did lots of them before we came here!",

Dave said.

"You know…. The mag where Bob….", Clint said.

"Yeah I got it! And Izzy was jealous because of that?",

Dave asked.

"Sort of but….. Bob didn't told her about it and so

they…you know!", Clint said.

"Why Bob didn't told her?", Helen asked.

"We don't know!", Scott answered.

"How come you didn't know? Bob is your bro!", Vanessa said.

"I don't think we have to be reporters to cover every

detail of his life!", Scott said.

"We are not talking about "The Truman Show" ok!", Vanessa

was a little mad.

"Sorry Vanessa!", Scott apologized.

"No! I should be sorry!", Vanessa said.

"Hey guys, let's listen what's going on inside!", Clint

said and they listened through the door.

"The reason is….. I know you wouldn't like it because the

kiss was….. as French as that! But… we were paid to that! And…. The girl

has a boyfriend so…. I don't think there should be a big deal about it!",

Bob explained.

"Is… that true Bob? All true?", Izzy asked.

"Yeah! Trust me!", Bob insist. Izzy was silent for a few

minutes and then….she smiled.

"Yes!", Bob said and they hugged each other. They are about

to kiss when the group opened the door and caught them.

"Wow! They make up!", Helen announced.

"Get lost will ya?", the couple told the group. And the

group left with laughter and they kissed. All ends that end well.

 

CHAPTER 19: You Oughta Know (Alanis Morissette)

Bob, Scott, Dave brought Helen, Izzy and Vanessa to their home.

"I'm glad the day ended with a merrier one!", Bob said.

"We almost went to hell!", Izzy said.

"Ok! I think we must go home now! It's already midnight! We

have to pack!", Scott said.

"Why? When are you leaving guys?", Vanessa was surprised.

"We are leaving on the 24th! That's… two days from now",

Dave said.

"That's….too fast!", Helen said.

"We have to visit Poppa and Nanna back home in Canada to

celebrate Christmas!", Dave said.

"Yeah! I didn't realize that…. It's almost Christmas! I

haven't shop!", Helen said.

"Me too neither!", Vanessa said.

"So that means….. I never gonna see you again!", Izzy was

sad. Bob hugged her.

"Don't worry Izzy,…what's the use of phone, of e-mail you

know!", Bob said.

"But…. That's not enough! I'm really gonna miss you like

crazy", Izzy said.

"Please stop using those cheesy lines! It sucks!", Vanessa

protested.

"Come on Vanessa,….. you'll realize that when you're in

love!", Izzy said.

"When? The day that I die?", Vanessa said.

"I don't know! Maybe….later or….. before the end of the

year!", Izzy said.

"What?", Vanessa was shocked.

"I didn't say anything!", Izzy shut her mouth.

"Well, we really have to go! See ya guys tomorrow!", Dave

said. Bob and Scott waved their goodbyes to the ladies and the three men left.

"Umm….Dave!", Helen called him.

"Yeah?", Dave and the rest stopped and he looked at Helen.

"Umm…. Thanks for……tonight! It's been a pleasure!", Helen

thanked him.

"Yeah! Thanks too! I really had fun with you tonight!",

Dave said.

"Really?….. that's cool! Well….. see ya!", Helen saluted him.

"You too!", Dave saluted back and they left. The girls went

inside their home. As they about to enter, someone called Vanessa.

"Vanessa!", someone called her.

"Who is it?", Vanessa couldn't find who is that person. Then

someone jumped from the tree.

"Jake!", Vanessa was shocked that it was him.

"You such a liar babe! That man wasn't your lover!", Jake said.

"You are so mean! How could you say that?", Vanessa was mad.

"Because…..because…. I didn't see you guys kissing on the

lips!", Jake protested.

"Why? Do we have to do it in front of you? Ha?", Vanessa told him.

"Yeah!", Jake answered.

"And why?", Vanessa asked.

"Because… that's an evidence! To see is to believe!", Jake insist.

"Umm….could you please go home now! Your mom is waiting for

you!", Vanessa said.

"Nice excuse huh?….. I'm not leaving here until you say

that….you love me!", Jake said. Vanessa and the two gals laughed.

"What's so funny?", Jake said.

"Why don't you stop bugging me? Whatever happens, I'm not

getting myself into you! Whether you like it or not!", Vanessa said and the

girls entered the house. But Jake pulled Vanessa's hands.

"Let me go Jake!", Vanessa said. The two gals were trying to

remove his hand to hers. But he kept holding her. And then…..Vanessa

smacked him in the face. Jake tumbles to the ground. Jake got up and he got

his glasses somewhere in the ground.

"You are a……..a lesbian! I can't believe I had fallen for a

lesbian!", Jake shouted it. The girls just laughed at him. When he was

about to go, he was hit in the tree. The girls laughed harder and he

finally went away. The girls finally went inside.

 

CHAPTER 20: Love (The Moffatts)

The 23rd of December will be the last day that they gonna spend

the day together. In the first event, Vanessa and Scott really talked for

the first time for a whole day. They spend their day in the park, having a

picnic.

"Really? You smacked Jake in the face?", Scott couldn't

believed what Vanessa told him.

"Yeah! And the funny thing is…. He called me a lesbian

because…. I think I was the first lady who smacked him in the face!…..he's

really making a fool for himself! And if you saw that……. You just can't

stop laughing! And I can't even slept last night because of that! He's a

truly weirdo!", as Vanessa told him the whole event last night, Scott kept

laughing. And he was staring at her.

"I wish we didn't went home yet just to see the whole

action! I love to see the part where you smacked him! That's sooo cool!",

Scott gave her a compliment.

"Yeah! You know… this is the first time that I kicked

someone's butt! And…. I'm very proud of it!", Vanessa said and they both

laughed.

"If Sarah Michelle Gellar quit in being Buffy, I

think….you're a good replacement!!, Scott said.

"Yeah right Scott! I wish but….keep dreamin!!", Vanessa

said and they laughed.

"You know what….. I'm gonna miss this place!", Scott said.

"Yeah right Scott!… you have been to many places on this

earth and then…..how come you'll remember a little town like…. Ohio?",

Vanessa thought it was a joke.

"No kidding! I really gonna miss this place! The place

is quiet and cool and….. I've met many wonderful people like…you!", Scott

said. Vanessa laughed. "What's funny?", Scott wondered.

"Me? Wonderful? Are you kidding me?", Vanessa thought

again it was a joke.

"Everytime I gave you a compliment, …..you think all of

that was a joke! Why? You don't enjoy that?", Scott was a little bit serious.

"Is not that I'm taking all your compliments for granted

but….. I felt that I don't deserve it….you know!", Vanessa explained. "I'm

sorry Scott!", she apologized.

"Come on Vanessa! That's why Jake really obsessed with

you to the fullest!", Scott said and they laughed again.

"He's a jerk! So I realized……. I'm the hearthrob for the

jerks!", Vanessa insist. Scott laughed.

"Maybe the jerks like you but….. I don't think they are

not the only one who likes you….. even ordinary guys!", Scott said.

"Like…..who?", Vanessa asked.

"Umm….. I don't know!….some people there I guess!",

Scott was little blushing.

"Scott……your face was really hot! You're getting red!

What does this mean?", Vanessa was getting a little bit nervous.

"Umm….Vanessa….. I think…… I think I ….. I like you!",

Scott was nervous. Vanessa was shocked and speechless.

"Scott……you're kidding aren't you?", Vanessa was making

sure.

"Do I look like….?", Scott asked.

"No! Not….really! Whoa! In all girls……why me?", Vanessa

asked, still shocked.

"I guess…you're different from the others! Trust me!",

Scott said. Vanessa blushed ( a little).

"I have also to admit that….. I do like you!", Vanessa

said.

"Well…. That's great! That's cool!", Scott smiled at her.

"Haven't you noticed that…. We have been here since this

morning?….and I guess, it's getting dark!", Vanessa told him.

"Yeah I know…. I think we must go to the hotel now!",

Scott said.

"I can't believe we survive all day long here in this

park! And we are still alive!", Vanessa said and they arrange things and

they left with their hands holding to each other. Love is in the air for

the two.

 

 

 

CHAPTER 21: If You Could Read My Mind

On the same day, The Moffatts and the rest of the gang celebrate

the group's farewell party at their hotel room in the evening. Risa was

there too and she and Dave were very close. They really have fun on that

night. Gil finally got a date. Clint and Sharon recognized the girl. It was

Joan, the girl from the mall.

"Well, well….. I really love my cowsin so much! How come he

brought her here?", Sharon was alarmed.

"Come on…..you still remember that?", Clint said.

"Of course! I almost broke up with you then!", Sharon said.

"Don't worry now. Gil owns her right now!", Clint puts his

hand on her back. Then Gil and Joan went to them.

"Joan, I would like to meet you…..", Gil said.

"Actually….. we've met already…..in the concert!", Clint

inturrupted.

"Yeah that's true! We've met already!", Joan said, smiling at

Clint. Sharon gave her devilish look at the girl.

"Are you gonna repeat your performance to my boyfriend

again?", Sharon said.

"What are you talking about cowsin?", Gil was confused.

"I would like to inform you cowsin that your date flirted my

boyfriend and we almost broke up! I'm just giving her a warning in case

that thing will happen again!", Sharon stated. Gil stared at Joan.

"Come on Gil, let's go!", Joan said and the two left. Gil was

still confused.

"Whoa! This is the first time that I saw you very

aggressive!", Clint was shocked about Sharon.

"See Clint! I would make your life a living hell if you're

cheating me!", Sharon smiled.

"Whoa! I'm in danger! And my life too!", Clint pretends to be

scared. Sharon laughed.

After they ate dinner, Angela announced something.

"Ok guys! This is the moment that you all waiting for…… the

girls gonna perform a song for you guys since you will really gonna miss

each other!", Angela was holding a mic.

"I can't believe she was serious about that!", Vanessa

whispered to the ladies.

"I'm not prepared to sing! My voice is not that good today!",

Helen said. The boys looked at the girls.

"And we are looking forward to hear you girls!", Scott said.

"And I want you girls to sing……what's the song…….oh yes,

"Runaway"!", Angela said.

"What? No way! I'm not gonna sing that song again!", Helen

protested and shocked. Everyone were staring at her because of her reaction.

"What's wrong with that Helen? Don't you think that is a nice

song? You loved the song", Angela asked.

"Yeah I love the song auntie but…. I can't sing it! There's a

line in the song remember?…… and I don't think that song is appropriate to

the guests!", Helen explained.

"Mr. and Mrs. Moffatt, have you ever let your kids watch R

movies?", Angela asked.

"Yes", the couple answered.

"See Helen! Those movies are worst than that line! Don't worry,

they are very nice guys except for this tall gentleman here!", Angela said.

Everyone laughed.

"I love you so much auntie!", Gil said.

"Come on Helen, I really think they would like the song and

ignore that line! There's no big deal about that!", Angela said.

"Ok alright! I'll allow it!", Helen finally agreed.

"Thank you very much Helen! You guys must prepare for 10

mins.!", Angela said.

"Huh?", the girls were shocked.

"Time is very precious these days so…move it!", Angela said.

"Ok ok! Don't be too excited auntie!", Izzy said and they went

to their instruments a little farther. She got her violin.

"Why she kept insisting about that song? I can't really sing

that song especially Risa is there! The song is somehow related with my

feelings for Dave!", Helen was worried.

"Come on Helen! You have to think that you're singing that song

to entertain the guests! Don't worry, it's all gonna be ok!", Vanessa said.

"Thanks!", Helen said. Vanessa went to her drum kit. Gil went

to them.

"You must do your best huh cowsins?", Gil said.

"Yeah! Get out of here!", Sharon said. Gil left. Helen was

really nervous especially that Risa was there. After about 7 minutes, they

began to perform "Runaway" from The Corrs. They really give their best

performance especially Helen, despite her protest. The guys really liked

the song. Dave really listened to Helen's good singing voice. After the

song, they bowed and their little audience cheered them. This is gonna be

the girls' last night with The Moffatts.

 

CHAPTER 22: The Hardest Thing (98 Degrees)

Dave and Risa walked along the pool.

"Dave, I would like to ask you something.", Risa said.

"What is it?", Dave asked.

"Are you love with the singer?", Risa asked.

"Why are you asking that?", Dave said.

"Come on Dave, I already caught you! You kept staring at her while

she was singing! Are the lyrics affected you so much?", Risa said.

"So you're thinking that I'm cheating you?", Dave asked.

"Yeah I think so! And I think you must be referring to her when

you said that you were worried about "this friend" who missed your concert.

If it is her, why you didn't tell me that it was her?", Risa asked.

"You know why? I always calling your home but you were out and you

don't even telling me about your plans. It's always me who works on this

relationship. You don't have to tell me that you're cheating me because I

know. I'm sorry the fact that I think…… I think I'm in love with her!",

Dave confessed.

"So you want a break-up?", Risa said.

"I think that's better! Don't worry, we could be friends right?",

Dave said.

"No problem. I think we are better as friends. Merry Christmas

Dave", Risa said and she kissed him on the cheek.

"Merry Christmas too Risa!", Dave hugged her and then she left.

Dave sat on the chair. Izzy and Bob were at the back and they saw everything.

"Dave left Risa for Helen? This is gonna be cool!", Izzy said.

"Yeah! I can't believe all of us are related to each other now,

except for Gil!", Bob said.

" I wish Helen knew this! I think our song helps of what was

happening right now!", Izzy said.

"Yeah! I don't think I could be able to learn to play the

violin! You're very good at it!", Bob gave her a compliment.

"Thanks Bob but I'm no master!", Izzy cleared.

 

CHAPTER 23: This Kiss (Faith Hill)

The party is still going on. Izzy and Bob returned to the room and

they saw Helen.

"Hi Helen!", Izzy said.

"Hi guys! You have been missing in action! You guys and

Dave!", Helen said, holding a bottle of water. Izzy and Bob looked at each

other.

"Is there something……big happened?", Helen was curious

about the pair's reaction.

"Dave just broke up with…..Risa", Bob said.

"Oh my God! This is not good for him especially now

that….it's Christmas!", Helen was surprised.

"Yeah……. I don't know if it is!", Izzy said.

"Huh?….. Guys,…..don't ever think that I'm gonna be her

replacement!", Helen cleared.

"Maybe…..you are!", Bob said.

"You have no idea what are you saying Bob. I mean, this

guy has just split up from her and it's not that easy to recover unless

that….he's strong enough to handle it", Helen said.

"Come on Helen, don't you see? Your time has finally

arrived!", Izzy said.

"You are a very good announcer! But do you mind if you

don't cover this situation 'coz…it's kind of private!", Helen joked.

"Me and Bob were just excited about you and Dave!", Izzy

said.

"Oh stop it! You guys are just wasting your saliva for

that line but……where is he?", Helen said.

"See I told you, you love him!", Izzy said. Helen gave her

a dirty look.

"We saw him near the pool, he was very devastated!", Bob

said. Helen went to the balcony and she saw Dave, staring at the waters in

the pool. Bob and Izzy followed her.

"Poor guy! He's gonna have a blue Christmas!……. I better go

down and investigate! AND don't ever tease me about this! I'm just there as

a friend!", Helen said.

"Why are you so…defensive?", Bob asked.

"Whatever!", Helen said.

"And please….. pretend that you didn't know anything or

else the three of us will be dead!", Izzy warned her.

"Hello! I'm not duh!", Helen said.

"We are just only reminding you!", Izzy said and Helen

left. A few minutes later, she was in the pool. Before she went to Dave,

she breathes really deep.

"Good luck Helen!", she told herself. And she finally went

to him.

"Hi Dave! You look so…terrible!", Helen said.

"Oh hi Helen! Yeah I know!", Dave said.

"What happened?", Helen asked.

"I…..We finally broke up!", Dave said.

"I'm sorry Dave. And…..it's kind of bad timing 'coz 2 days

from now it's already Christmas", Helen said.

"Yeah I know! It's not working anymore!", Dave said.

"Bad timing huh?", Helen said.

"Absolutely!", Dave said.

"Come on Dave, cheer up a little bit! Don't ever think that

you are not gonna fall in love again! I don't think that she's gonna be

your wife or something or…… I don't have any idea what I'm talking about!

I'm sorry, I'm ruin your present mood!", Helen said.

"No you're not! Thanks for being here! And….. I would like

to tell you something that's very important!", Dave said.

"Is this serious?", Helen was alarmed.

"Yeah!", Dave answered.

"Umm…. Is this about…me?", Helen said. Dave nodded.

"Have I contribute something to your break-up?", Helen was

nervous

"No, no, it's not about that!", Dave cleared.

"Then what is it? Come on, I'm freaking out here!", Helen

said.

"Ok, ok! Just calm down Helen! ……umm……...we really had fun

being together and I'm happy the fact that there is someone who is willing

to listen to me and making me fun, even sometimes it's too corny and…….",

Dave said.

"Oh my God Dave! No,…..you're not serious are you? Tell me

Dave that you're just kidding , right?", Helen is starting to freak out.

"I'm serious about my feelings for you! I just realized

that Risa was never really there for me! But when I'm with you, I felt so

happy! Why are you not happy with me?", Dave said.

"Of course yes! I hate to say this but I feel great when

I'm with you actually! But…… I was so shocked that you said that! It was

very….unbelievable!", Helen said.

"I was kind of surprised too! But I never expect that I

would feel greater than ever especially with the girl who is with me right

now!", Dave said.

"See! I must not have sung that song! I guess that song has

a big effect on you! It's all auntie's fault!", Helen said. Dave laughed.

"So will you? My Christmas will not be blue anymore if I'm

with you!", Dave said, pulled her to him.

"I think my Christmas will be more…..exciting!", Helen said..

And the two began to…. Kissing each other. Then Frank and Sheila caught the

two and they were staring at them for about 3 minutes.

"You guys are totally inseparable!", Frank told them. Dave

and Helen stopped and looked at them.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Moffatt", Helen said and she and Dave

felt so embarrassed.

"I knew that this is gonna happened!", Sheila said with a

smile on her face.

"Why did you predict it?", Helen asked.

"No! I don't believe in predictions! I believe in destiny!",

Sheila said.

"How you guys been standing there and watch us?", Dave asked.

"For about…5 minutes!", Frank said.

"Since that you guys have been staring at us for 5 minutes,

we think that we are deserved to be paid!", Dave said. Helen laughed.

"Don't worry! It's only us! We won't tell this to the whole

world!", Sheila said.

"Come on now Sheila before Dave make some more side comments

about our invasion of their privacy!", Frank said and the two left.

"I'm sure when we get back, we are gonna be the talk of the

town!", Helen said.

CHAPTER 24: Save Tonight (Eagle-Eye Cherry)

When Scott and Vanessa and……Dave and Helen revealed their romances,

the group were not surprised. Indeed, they were very excited.

"You guys are so weird! You guys really expect this

things to happen!", Vanessa said.

"You know why?….because we have very perfect

instincts!", Bob said. Everyone laughed.

"Ha ha ha! Very funny!", Scott was annoyed.

"How come you guys revealed your affairs if you're

leaving tomorrow already!", Gil asked.

"Yeah you are leaving tomorrow already! I didn't notice

that!", Helen said.

"Too bad for you guys that you don't have enough time to

be with each other since you guys will be far apart from each other!", Gil

said.

"Wow cowsin! This is the first time that we heard you

said something very……significant!", Sharon said.

"And yeah! You haven't been really in love until this

time!", Izzy added.

"You've been reading my romance novel didn't you?", Joan

asked.

"How did u know that?", Gil asked.

"That line appeared in chapter 16!", Joan stated. Everyone

were surprised.

"Umm…… I was so curious about the cover and so…. I started

reading it!", Gil confessed.

"Yuck! You're reading those kind of books and….you're a

male!", Dave said.

"At least Dave, I've learned something about love through

this book!", Gil said. Everyone applauded him.

"You know….. I still like you after all even though….you

make me embarrassed sometimes!", Joan said and she hugged Gil. He blushed.

Everyone teased them.

"I think you're gonna be a cute couple Gil!", Dave said.

"Sorry Joan for being……so mean to you! I'm just scared you

know to lose…..someone!", Sharon apologized.

"Don't worry Sharon, everything is ok! I'm sorry too 'coz

…… I've been very ambitious to your boyfriend!", Joan confessed.

"That's ok! You're forgiven!", Sharon said. Joan smiled.

"…….but not forgotten!", Sharon added.

"What?", Joan was shocked.

"Come on Joan! I'm just kidding!", Sharon cleared. Joan was

relieved.

"Finally, all troubles are all over!", Clint said.

"But you might get into trouble the next time I see a woman

other than Mrs. Moffatt!", Sharon warned him.

"Don't worry! I promise! My heart will be stuck to you

forever!", Clint said.

Everyone felt so disgusted of what Clint said.

"Where the heck did you get that Clint?", Bob asked.

"Yucky line!", Helen added.

"Hey! You're just jealous! That was so sweet, if you asked

me!", Sharon defended her man.

"Ewww!", Vanessa said.

"Thanks Sharon!", Clint said and he hugged her.

"I'm sure that you have been very happy today especially

yours truly because….you know!", Scott said.

"And Vanessa is blushing!", Bob teased.

"I had these rosy cheeks since birth!", Vanessa defended

herself.

"Yeah right Vanessa!", Izzy added. Vanessa gave her a dirty

look.

"And tomorrow…….don't forget to bring your tissues

ladies!", Scott announced.

"Me? Gonna cry?? Hahahaha! Not me!", Vanessa said.

"Cry sucks! Of course, we are gonna miss you guys but…..we

don't need to cry! I don't think it's the end of the world or something!",

Helen said.

"You'll never know!", Dave said.

"Yeah right! We'll see!", Helen said.

 

CHAPTER 25: Goodbye (Spice Girls)

It's the 24th of December. The day before Christmas. The day The

Moffatts will say goodbye. In the morning, the group went to their hotel to

say their goodbyes to the boys.

"It's a pleasure working with you man!", Scott is referring to

Gil.

"You too! We'll be seeing each other again!", Gil said and he

hugged Gil.

"I'm sure of that! Take care!", Scott said and he turned to

Vanessa.

"See! I told you I don't have to cry!", Vanessa said. Scott

laughed.

"You're a very different lady I guess!", Scott said.

"Yeah because….. I'm stupid!", Vanessa laughed. Scott just

stared at her.

"Ok ok ok Scott! I know you hate to hear that! Well…..see ya

in e-mail or in…phone!", Vanessa said and Scott hugged her.

"Yeah! I guess that's the only way that we are gonna spend

each other's time…….through technology! I'm gonna miss you!", Scott said

and they still hugging each other and then…they kissed. Jake saw them.

"The two fake lovers!", Jake said. Scott and Vanessa stopped

and looked at Jake. Jake gave them a dirty look and left. The two laughed.

"Nonesense!", Vanessa said and they are still laughing.

On the other hand………..

"I rather allow you to pose in nude than to pose with a kiss

to some girl other than me!", Izzy said. Bob laughed.

"No way! I won't do that! I just wish that I could be in

baywatch but….. not in playboy!", Bob said and kissed Izzy.

"Yeah…. I think you're right after all!", Izzy said.

On the other side…………

"So kiss me and smile for me………tell me that you wait for

me……..hold me like you'll never let me go!", Sharon sang.

"I'm supposed to sing that song!….not you!", Clint said.

"Why? I like the song!", Sharon said.

"Coz….. I'm the ones who will be leaving on a jetplane!",

Clint said. Sharon felt embarrassed.

"Don't worry, you're still smart! I'm gonna call you minutes

before Christmas!", Clint said.

"Make sure that you will call me!", Sharon said.

"Of course, it's you!", Clint said and they kissed.

"Wait! I gotta go to the bathroom! I'll be right back!", Sharon

said.

"Hurry up!", Clint said. Sharon went to the bathroom and she

saw Helen.

"Hi Helen!", she greeted.

"Hey Sharon!", Helen greeted back.

"You must go out now! Dave has been waiting for you and

your….kiss!", Sharon teased Helen.

"Come on! I'm a bad kisser!", Helen said.

"Ha ha ha!", Sharon said.

"Ok! I better get out of here before you said something

ridiculous! See ya!", Helen said and she left the bathroom. She saw Dave

sitting in the lobby. Dave looked at her and smiled.

"Time is really too short Dave!", Helen said and she sat down,

facing him.

"Yeah! But at least…… before we…….really you know, we have some

good time together!", Dave said.

"From the shades…….to the ice cream……..to the date……up to the

pool!", Helen said.

"Yeah!", Dave said and they stared each other for a moment…with

a smile.

"Guys, we have to go now! Dave, help me with this bag!", Frank

told his son. Dave went to his father. Sheila went to Helen.

"You are right about everything!", Helen confessed to Sheila.

"I just wish , not just the both of you, but all of you

youngsters to have a fun time with each other even the boys are away!",

Sheila said.

"Thanx Sheila!", Helen said and she hugged Sheila. Dave saw

them and smiled. Then they let go each other.

"By the way, before I forgot! This time, I didn't forget this.

I have something to give you!", Sheila said and she pulled out a tin whistle.

"A tin whistle! How……how did you know that?", Helen was

surprised by the gift.

"Dave told me that you lost your tin whistle for so long and

you really missed to play with it. And so I gave this to you as my token of

appreciation for your kindness from your heart!", Sheila said.

"Wow! I could play again! …… I…… I don't know what to say

but…. Thank you very, very much for this! I'll be grateful to you!", Helen

was surprised.

"Here's Dave! I'll leave you two alone!", Sheila left and Dave

smiled at her. Then he came to Helen.

"I felt that…… I won in a lottery!", Helen was still

surprised. Dave laughed.

"I know what you felt about not playing with your favorite

instrument!", Dave said.

"Thanks Dave! And….. haven't you realized that you already

gave me too much?!", Helen asked.

"No…..just for you!", Dave said.

"And… I was kind of…….. guilty the fact that I haven't gave

you something since… you guys arrived! And it's an honor for me to give you

this little thing!", Helen said and she pulled out a friendship ring and

she handed to Dave.

"A friendship ring! That's…… so wonderful! But we are more

friends right now!", Dave said.

"Yeah I know that! But don't take it literally about the ring!

That ring means that if you wore it…..wherever you are…. You will remember

the person who gave that to you! And I have mine too!", Helen pulled out

her friendship bracelet and she wore it. Dave also wore his.

"That's very nice! Thank you Helen! It's really so nice of

you!", Dave said and he kissed her.

"Dave, come on now!", Frank called him. The two stopped.

"You're interrupting again dad! This is gonna be my last live

action moment with her right now! Wait for me in the van!", Dave said.

"Ok ok! Bye Helen!", Frank waved.

"Bye Mr. Moffatt!", Helen waved back and Frank left. The three

boys waved at Helen. She waved back and they went to the van.

"You better go now before you miss the trip back home!", Helen

said.

"Yeah! I…….really gonna miss you! Merry Christmas!", Dave

said, holding her hand.

"You too! Have a Merry Christmas!", Helen said softly.

"Merry Christmas! I'll see ya in the e-mail!", Dave said.

"You too!", Helen said.

"Goodbye!", Dave said and they hugged each other and kissed

each other on the cheeks.

"Bye Dave!", Helen said. Dave left and she waved. Dave went to

the van and all of them waved at the group.

"Bye!", the whole family said.

"Bye!", the group said and the van vanished.

"Back to reality everyone!", Sharon said.

"I can't believe it's back to nor-….", Gil said and he saw a

guitar. The girls saw it too.

"That's Scott's guitar! He forgot it!", Vanessa was shocked.

"Did he knew that he left the guitar?", Izzy said.

"I wish he wouldn't go back for the guitar! Nice souvenir for

us!", Vanessa said, holding the guitar. Then they heard a van coming. It

was The Moffatts. They knew that they forgot Scott's guitar. Scott went out

of the van and hurriedly went inside the lobby.

"I thought this guitar will gonna be our souvenir from you!",

Vanessa joked and handed the guitar to Scott.

"Sorry Vanessa! I really love this guitar! Don't worry, I'll

give you my old guitar! Sorry guys! Bye everyone again!", Scott said and he

hurriedly went to the van and the family waved their goodbyes again. The

girls did the same too and the van disappeared again.

"…..they are really gone now! Nothing left already!", Helen

said with a little sadness.

"So what we should do then?", Sharon asked.

"Sleep and sleep and sleep…… until Christmas! I'm sooo

tired!", Izzy said.

"I could see in your faces that you cowsins are too sad!", Gil

said.

"Of course we would be sad! Why are you happy that they're

gone??", Helen said. Gil didn't answered.

"Ok I'll tell them that you hate them! Beware of The

Moffatts!", Helen said.

"Hey cowsin! I didn't say that I hate them! I'm

just…..tired!", Gil defended himself.

"Yeah right! How come you didn't answered right away huh?",

Vanessa joined them.

"I'm just….tired…tired to talk!", Gil said.

"I got a idea!….since all of us are very….sad 'coz the boys are

gone, I think we must go out so that….we could get over our depression and

loneliness and sadness!", Sharon suggested.

"Sharon,….thanks for giving us the synonyms of sad! It's

cool!", Izzy said.

"Seriously, we must go out….in the streets! To have fun since

everyone is having fun because it's Christmas!", Sharon cleared.

"You got a point there! It's so sick for us to be lonely at

Christmas!", Helen said.

"Yeah! We must have fun! We deserve to be happy!!!", Vanessa

proclaimed.

"And…..where are we going?", Izzy asked.

"We need to shop! Shopping is the best medicine aside from

laughter!", Sharon suggested. Everyone agreed.

"So…we must get out of here now!", Gil said and they left and

went to the mall.

 

CHAPTER 26: If You Want To Party (All Saints)

After they shop, they went to the restaurant to hang-out to remove

their depression. The group talked about their experiences with The

Moffatts. They were there for 3 hours.

"You know guys…… this whole Moffatt thing makes me really,

really sad!", Izzy said.

"Yeah! And…. I don't want to get lonely on Christmas! That

sounds very stupid!", Helen added.

"I guess…… we must stop to talk about The Moffatts once and

for all 'coz…..this is getting nowhere! We are just gonna weep and weep as

if someone died in a very tragic way!", Vanessa said.

"We must talk about….happy things like Christmas!", Gil

suggested.

"Yeah…… I guess that is the happiest topic that we really had

to tackle!", Sharon said.

"That's true!", Izzy proclaimed. Then later, she broke down

in tears. The rest comfort her.

"Come on Izzy, Bob will always be there for you! He will

never forget you! He will still love you forever!", Helen hugged Izzy.

"Yes I know that!", Izzy was still crying.

"So why are you still crying?", Sharon asked. Helen let go of

Izzy.

"Because…….. he might cheating me!", Izzy said.

"Oh…..Izzy…… do you love him?", Vanessa asked.

"Of course yes!!", Izzy said. Gil handed a tissue box to Izzy.

"If you love him, you must learn to trust him because…….you

love him!", Gil said and Izzy hugged him.

"Oh cowsin!", Izzy screamed.

"Cowsin, what's with you lately?…I mean-….. oh yeah, you're

reading Joan's pocketbook!", Helen said.

"What are you talking about cowsin Helen?", Gil asked.

"You've been a……. dr. love for sometime! That's cool!", Sharon

said. Gil smiled.

"Yeah! Don't worry cowsin 'coz whenever we need help about

love….. we just come here to you and solve it!", Helen said.

"Thank you my beautiful cowsins! For the first time in our

relationship, I was really loved! I'm touch!", Gil was impressed by his

cousins. And when they were about to group hug, someone called them.

"Whoa guys! What's going on?", the group recognized that voice

and when they turned to the door, it was Clint who talked and The Moffatts

were there. The group were shocked and just stared at The Moffatts.

"I know guys that this was unexpected!", Scott said.

"Cowsins, are we…..dreaming or….. is this the side effect of

our depression?", Vanessa told them, still staring at The Moffatts.

"Sorry if we did this as a surprise!", Dave said.

"Surprise?…..huh?….. am I ok?", Helen felt so dizzy and she

shook her head.

"Ok ok……. We were caught in the middle of traffic and then

when we reached the airport…..the plane just left us! After we knew about

it, we went straightly to your home but….your auntie said that you guys

were in the mall! And we look at the mall and you weren't there until we

spot you guys here in this same restaurant that we last hang-out!", Bob said.

"So…how are you guys going home now? I'm sure your

grandparents are waiting for you in Canada?", Sharon asked.

"We called them up at the airport so….they knew the whole thing!

We won't spend Christmas with them!", Scott said.

"Too bad!", Izzy said, removing her tears.

"Izzy, why are you crying? Did you miss me already?", Bob asked.

"Yup but….. that's not really the reason why I'm crying!", Izzy

said.

"Why?", Bob said and went to Izzy. The cousins left the two

couple alone at their place and they went to The Moffatts.

"Because…. I'm scared that……that you might cheat while you are

away!", Izzy said.

"Izzy…… how come you're still thinking about that??", Bob asked.

"I…… I don't know!", Izzy said.

"Did I tell you that it will never happen again? And….. that girl

has a boyfriend! If her boyfriend didn't knew what his girlfriend did in

the magazine, you will see my smashed face! And how come I'll cheat you,…...

I'm not Clint!", Bob said.

"Are you gonna brought up again Bob?", Clint asked.

"Ooops… sorry Clint! Well… you really don't know how much I

really love you!", Bob said, holding Izzy' hands.

"Really???…… that's nice!", Izzy said.

"Bob….. Izzy… could you please finish your scene because…… we are

kind of hungry if you don't realized that!", Scott complained.

"Sorry…… it's finish anyway. Don't worry about it Scott!", Izzy

said. At last, the couple cleared their feelings.

"Ok guys….welcome back again!", Gil said and they cheered. The

customers stared at them.

"Ooops….sorry for our interruption!", Helen said and they all went

to their table.

The fun is back in the air!!!

CHAPTER 27: Until You Loved Me (The Moffatts)

All of them celebrate their Christmas Eve at the girlies' home.

They were even delighted this time because The Moffatts were gonna

celebrate Christmas with them.

This is gonna be the girls' and The Moffatts' best Christmas that they

ever had. After they ate dinner, Helen and Vanessa went outside the house.

"Hey Helen, do you think that… this Christmas is the

best Christmas that you ever had?", Vanessa asked, while looking up the sky.

"Definitely! I almost consider this as the worst one…if

they wouldn't be here!", Helen said, also staring at the sky. Vanessa agreed.

"So… how's the feeling of being …..attached to Scott?",

Helen asked.

"Attached? …..nice word!", Vanessa said and they

laughed. "Well….do you have any idea Helen why the plane left them?", she

asked Helen. Helen shook her head.

"Because…..as you can see…. We just fell in love with

those guys only yesterday! I think God gave us time to be with them before

they….it would take too long to see them again!", Vanessa said.

"Yeah! That's right! Thank God for this moment!", Helen

said. They were silent for a moment. "I never thought Dave would be my

first…you know!", Helen talked again.

"Me too! Why everything that is happening to us is always

a surprise?… I don't get it!", Vanessa said.

"Really?", somebody answered. The girls looked at the

back. Then… it's Dave.

"Hey! I can't believe your spying at us!", Helen protested.

Dave blushed.

"Umm….Vanessa!", Dave called her.

"What?", Vanessa said.

"Scott kept looking at you inside! He might get worried!",

Dave said.

"Ok….Dave is jealous at me right now because I'm talking to

his girlfriend!", Vanessa said.

"No… I'm not! Honest! Scott is really looking for you!",

Dave was defensive and then laughed.

"Ok ok……I'll leave you guys here! See ya!", Vanessa said.

"See ya!", the couple said. Vanessa went back to the house.

"You are too mean to my cowsin!", Helen complained.

"Why?", Dave said.

"You pushed her away for you to talk to me!", Helen said and

they laughed. They were silent for a moment.

"I heard what you said earlier!", Dave said.

"See!… your spying on us!", Helen said.

"Ok…. I'm already obvious!", Dave said and laughed. "You

said earlier that… this is the best Christmas that you ever had!", Dave said.

"Whoa!…. I can't believe you still remember the exact words

that I said!", Helen was a bit shocked. Dave laughed.

"This is the first time that I would have my Christmas with

the girl who…..", Dave said.

"Come on man, be honest! I won't kill you!", Helen said. Dave

laughed.

"….the girl who saved me from sadness. The girl who makes me

laugh! And….the girl who really love me!", Dave said. Helen was speechless.

"Are you too reading….pocket books?", Helen asked.

"Hey! I'm not!!", Dave was defensive and they laughed.

"Come on…. Dave, you're not cowsin!", Helen said, still laughing.

"I'm glad that I'm here with you!", Dave said.

"Me too!", Helen said. And they were about to kiss when

suddenly……. "Dave, Helen!", Frank was calling at them and he went to them.

"Dad….. you're interrupting us again! Why you can't interrupt

at Scott or Bob or Clint?? Why always me?", Dave complained.

"I'm sorry Dave but…. That's life! Come on, we have to watch

the movie! Everyone is waiting for the both you!", Frank said. "And I

promise….. I won't interrupt again after the movie!", he added.

"Ok ok dad! I believe you now! Come on Helen!", Dave went up

and pulled Helen to get up.

"Merry Christmas!", Frank said.

"Merry Christmas too!", Dave and Helen both said. And the three

went inside and they're starting to watch the movie. THE END
