Chapter 5

"Outcast: That's cool, I'm glad you had a good time

Cowboy: Yeah, me too. Although I couldn't wait to come and talked to you. This might sounds stupid, but I missed you this week.

Outcast: It's not stupid, I missed you too. My bratty sister wouldn't let me get online only to tell you why I wasn't there. Gotta love siblings.

Cowboy: Trust me, I know what you mean

Outcast: How could you? Nicholas and you seemed pretty friendly the other day

Cowboy: Well, most of the time, but when he first moved here, we hated each other. I wanted to kill him, and, even if he never said it, he wanted to kill me. This go all the way back to our fathers. It's long and painful.

Outcast: Sounds like it. But if you want to talk about it, I'm there

Cowboy: Thanks, same goes for you. It's funny, I know you come from Colorado, but I can't shake the feeling that I know you. You remind me of someone and yet I can't find out who.

Outcast: Well, maybe we met somewhere, I told you I knew people in PC

Cowboy: No, that's not it. Oh well, I'll find out sooner or later. :o)

Outcast: What was that?

Cowboy: That's a smile. Look at it from the side. There is also the wink ;o)

Outcast: Oh they are so cute!

Cowboy: Yeah there are a lot of symbols out there. Like the cup of coffee, c[~], the butt, (_!_), sticking your tongue out :P

Outcast: How do you know so much?

Cowboy: I have a lot of time on my hands. I surf the web, check out the chats, research for homework. My life is my computer. I just live for this stuff

Outcast: I understand now, I have no life too! LOL

Cowboy: How did your plans go?

Outcast: They went well. We went to see a movie, got a nice dinner at a nice restaurant, and then he took me home, I ran upstairs to the computer and waited for you.

Cowboy: Was there a kiss involved? ;o)

Outcast: LOL, no, but I wish there had been

Cowboy: I'm sorry then sweetie. Well, if that can console you, I didn't kiss my date either. Not that I didn't want to, but never on the first date. I believe a kiss has to be special, earned. When you kiss strangers, it loses its meaning. Am I making any sense?

Outcast: You are. I understand what you are saying. If you kiss every date, that comes to say you shook their hands goodnight

Cowboy: Exactly. But I believe it could become special between her and me

Outcast: Hey I'm jealous!

Cowboy: LOL, you are special too, don't worry. Moon would kill me if she knew I said that to someone other than her, but I feel like you are the most special person that ever walked in this chatroom.

Outcast: I bet you say that to all of us, when you are alone with us. Moon was right, you are a smooth talker

Cowboy: LOL, you don't know me yet. I always tell the truth. I HATE lies. There is a difference between embellishing the truth and a lie. For instance, Lorenzo is my middle name. I don't want to give my first name, it makes too easy jokes. But I didn't lie about my name.

Outcast: Well, it's my middle name that gives place to jokes. But I would like to know your first name

Cowboy: Sorry little lady, no can do

Outcast: Why not?

Cowboy: Because I set some rules on myself and never saying my first name was one of them.

Outcast: Even if I promise not to tell?

Cowboy: Sorry baby. I'm a man of my word, even if I gave the word to myself. Now, you wouldn't want me to break a promise now would you?

Outcast: I guess not. OMG look at the time. Lorenzo I have to get to bed! I'll try to be here tomorrow, will you be?

Cowboy: Tell me what time and I'll meet you back here

Outcast: Right after lunch? Say 1 O'clock?

Cowboy: I'll see you then. Dreams of Gold

Outcast: That is so sweet. Goodnight, don't let the bed bugs bite

Outcast left the chat"

While Elizabeth put her PJ's on, she couldn't stop thinking about the similarities between Cowboy and Lucky. Both of them had blue eyes, tall, dark hair. They both lived in Port Charles. They both had a date tonight they didn't kiss. They both had a little sister, but she didn't know the name of Lorenzo's. That was pretty creepy. But on the other hand, there was some differences. Cowboy was outgoing, funny, while Lucky was more reserved, almost shy at times. Cowboy was always on the net, basically no life, while Lucky was probably out every night. She learned from Sarah that Lucky Spencer was quite popular with the ladies, he probably had a date every night this week. Cowboy seemed to have a passion for music, Lucky never talked once about even playing an instrument. Cowboy had to search the net for his homework, while Lucky seemed to collect A's without even trying. It couldn't be the same guy. Why, with his good looks, would Lucky spends his nights cooped up on a machine? And Lucky didn't even talked about owing a computer, while Cowboy seemed to know everything about them. These were just coincidences. Creepy coincidences, but coincidences nonetheless. She had to stop thinking this nonsense. Cowboy was NOT Lucky Spencer, and that was it.

The next day Elizabeth got up around noon, smiling at the sun that was coming from her window. Life was good. She got up and went downstairs to eat her breakfast and both Sarah and Gram grilled her about her date. She told the movie from A to Z, but she didn't talk about Lucky. Last night was for her, and the only person she would talk about it with was Cowboy. The only person she would talk about a lot of stuff was Cowboy. She had a feeling she could tell him anything, he wouldn't make fun of her. After eating she ran upstairs, took a quick shower and then took the computer.

"Cowboy: There she is mom, I'd like you to meet my cyber-wife. Elizabeth, meet my cyber-mom.

Midnightangelone: Hi Elizabeth, how are you?

Outcast: I'm good, so you are my cyber-mother-in-law?

Midnightangelone: Looks like it. He decided so a couple of weeks ago, when he saw I was concerned about him.

Outcast: I know the feeling. HE decided we were getting married. He didn't even ask me. I had pity on him, so I went along with it, he looked like he was looking for a friend

Midnightangelone: I know, he always looks like he is looking for friends. Poor baby

Cowboy: Hello? I'm still in the room you know.

Outcast: Oh sorry, forgot all about you there for a second

Midnightangelone: LOL, yeah, sorry son

Cowboy: And you two wonder why I am always looking for new friends? LOL

Midnightangelone: So, Elizabeth, tell us about yourself, I'd like to get to know my daughter-in-law a little better.

Outcast: Well, I live with my grandmother and sister, I come from Boulder, I'm 16, no children, no dogs, no boyfriend. Basically, no life.

Toukie entered the chat

Cowboy: TOUKIE!!! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?

Toukie: Hey Lorenzo, how are you? Sorry I haven't been around, I've been busy with the twins and everything.

Midnightangelone: How are my precious babies?

Toukie: HI MOM! They are good. Who else is here?

Outcast: I am. I'm Elizabeth, hi Toukie. You have twins? How cute! What are their names? How old? I just love babies.

Toukie: Jonathan and Rebecca. They are two and a half months old. That's why I haven't been around much. And Tommy's just a pain

Cowboy: How's my little tyke? I've been going through Toukie withdrawal here.

Outcast: You look like you know her pretty well Lorenzo. *raging with jealousy*

Cowboy: Come on honey, Toukie's my cyber-sister. And her kids are my cyber-niece- and-nephews.

Outcast: *calming down* Oh, so I guess they are my cyber-niece-and-nephews too then. I'm Lorenzo's cyber-wife

Toukie: Really? And I wasn't invited? LORENZO!

Cowboy: Hey Oh! I heard you yell all the way to Port Charles. You weren't around so how could I tell you?

Toukie: Have you ever heard of email? Or you could've called me at home!

Outcast: You have her phone number?

Cowboy: Yeah, last January I had a job to do up in Canada and I told Toukie. She gave me her phone number and I went to see her and the kids when I was passing through Quebec.

Outcast: That's great! So Toukie, since we are cyber-sisters-in law, I guess I will have to cyber-call-you to have cyber-recipes.

Toukie: LOL, that'd be great. I don't know how you cyber-support-him though, he is a real pain sometimes. Well, most of the time

Midnightangelone: Come on Toukie, don't scare her off like that, Lorenzo really likes this girl

Cowboy: Gee thanks mom, this was suppose to stay between you and I

Midnightangelone: I'm sorry Lorenzo, but as your mother, I have to embarrass you, it's in every mother's genes.

Outcast: What's wrong with your wife knowing you like her Lorenzo?

Cowboy: Oh, I was just pulling mom's leg a little

Outcast: Of course you were. I mean, you didn't really say that LOL

Midnightangelone: Oh he did say it sweetie

Cowboy: MOM! I was home free just now! Don't scare her away, I told her it was all in good fun, she'll think I'll stalk her.

Midnightangelone: Sorry Lorenzo, here, *brainwashes Elizabeth*

Outcast: Where am I, who are you people?

Toukie: ROTFLMBOAGIBOSIDLS

Cowboy: TOO LATE TOUKIE!

Toukie: Bite me Lorenzo, I have stuff on you remember?

Cowboy: Like what?

Outcast: Yeah, like what?

Toukie: Like I think you would really be unlucky if your first name was to come out

Cowboy: TOUKIE YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD TELL!

Toukie: I DIDN'T SAY IT YET SO RELAX! Just know that you have to be extra sweet to me hehe

Outcast: How come she gets to know your first name and I don't? *pouting*

Cowboy: Because she beat it out of me when I went to see her. She can be really persuasive

Toukie: I did not beat it out of you! You just don't answer to Lorenzo so you told me to call you *coughing*

Outcast: Call him what? I didn't hear you right

Cowboy: TOUKIE!

Toukie: Sorry Outcast, he'll kill me and I don't want my kids to grow up without their mothers.

Outcast: That isn't fair! *pouting*

Cowboy: Now, now, honey *taking her in his arms* when you come to PC and I take you out of a nice, romantic dinner, I'll tell you. But not online OK?

Toukie: You are such a sucker you know that?

Outcast: Toukie, I'll tell you what I told moon, I love a sappy man

Toukie: Then you found your perfect match my dear, because he invented sappy

Cowboy: Come on Toukie, I'm not that bad

Outcast: Where's your mom Lorenzo?

Cowboy: I think she poofed.

Toukie: As always when I'm here! I think she does it on purpose! LOL

Cowboy: That's not true

Toukie: oh come on lucky, you are always there when she is!

Outcast: Lucky?

Toukie: Lucky? Oh sorry, BIG typo on my part! I mean Oh come on, you are lucky to always be there when she is!"
