"I don't understand it.  One minute, you and Shane are arguing like crazy.  Now, you're telling me that you two are together.  Am I missing something?" Amy scratched her head.

    As soon as Amy heard about Nora and Shane, she had rushed to Nora's hotel room to get all the information she could get.  She liked the fact that they were together but she wanted to make sure they stayed together since she thought they were a real cute couple.

"I know, it's kind of weird but we're just trying to see what it feels like as a couple.  I guess whatever we like the best will be our final decision."

"So do you like him as a boyfriend more?" Amy asked before she tossed some popcorn in her mouth.

"Well, I haven't seen the dude since yesterday.  He went to that autograph signing with Matt and Jeff." Nora said as she put her in a ponytail.

"They should be back in a few minutes." Amy said, looking at her watch.

"No, wait, I take that back.  He called me on my cell phone but I was in the shower.  He left me a sweet message.  Wanna hear it?" Nora grabbed her phone from the nightstand.

"Yeah, I wanna hear it!" Amy replied, with the voice of an anxious child who was about to get something they really wanted.

    She watched as Nora mashed a bunch of buttons on her phone while glancing up at the screen here & there.

"Here you go." Nora smiled as she put the phone to Amy's ear.

"Hey, Nora.  Matt and Jeff decided to take me along with them to their autograph signing.  It's scheduled to be over at three o'clock but you know how crazy people are about Matt & Jeff so we might be here much longer than that.  You were sleeping so peacefully when I left so I didn't want to wake you.  I thought you were sound asleep.  Well, I should be back soon.  Take care, sweethart."

"Awww.  I never knew Shane was such a sweet talker." Amy smiled while Nora put her phone back on the nightstand.

"Yeah, that he is...and I fall for every word.  I'm under a spell."

"I know what you mean, girl.  It's that damn southern charm.  Matt does it to me all the time." Amy and Nora both laughed.

    ***********

"So if you could just give them this message when they get back, I would really appreciate it."  Nora said to the desk clerk as she placed the slip of paper down on the counter.

"Will do ma'am."  The young boy said as he flashed her a perfect smile.

"Thanks."  She said turning around and running to where Amy was waving her over.

The two had become bored fast waiting for the boys to return.  Sneaking into Jeff's room, they had stolen the keys to his rental car and decided to do the one thing that they both loved.  Go shopping.

"Do you know exactly which one it is?"  Nora asked as they scoured the parking lot for Jeff's Eclipse. 

"Not really, but this has got one of those beep features on it, so I'm gonna press the button and see what we got."  Amy said as she held up the key chain and pressed the button.

The girls heard the tell tail beeping and looked around, breaking out into giggles as they saw a brand new Eclipse Convertible.  Running over to it, they unlocked the doors and put the top down.

"I am so glad that the boy has such good taste."  Amy said popping in a CD and following the directions that the desk clerk had given them.

*************

"Mr. Hardy, Mr. Helms.  I have a message for you."  The desk clerk called as he saw the three enter the building.

Glancing at each other, they all walked over and took the paper that he had been given.  Matt shrugged his shoulders and read, laughing when he got to the end.

"Amy and Nora got sick of waiting for us. They broke into Jeff's room and stole his rental car.  They are at the local mall."  He said laughing at the look on Jeff's face.

"Why do they always have to steal my car?  I'm still paying for that dent they put in the last car they stole."  He said scowling, following the other two out the door.

**************

"Can I ask you a question?"  Nora said as the two walked along, holding their bags and sipping on the fruit smoothies they had just picked up.

"Sure, what do you want to know?"

Nora hid her face, kind of embarassed, but dying to know.

"Is it true what guys say about tongue rings?"  She asked, her face burning with embarassment.

She had always wanted to get one, but she'd never really had anyone to try it out on.  She knew that Shane was freaky in more ways than one and figured there was no time like the present.  Looking over, she saw Amy's face burn red as well.

"Umm...well according to Matt.  It's very true."  She said as they started giggling.

"I've done it with and without and Matt says it makes all the difference in the world.  Why do you want to get one done?  Cause I saw a piercing shop on the second floor."  Amy said pointing up.

Throwing caution to the wind, Nora nodded her head enthusiastically as Amy grabbed her hand and ran up the stairs.

***********

"You think this is the mall they came to?"  Shane asked as they pulled into the parking lot with Matt driving.

"Oh this is it alright.  There's the car with top left down.  I will kill them."  Jeff said running a hand through his hair while the other two laughed at his irritation.

"This isn't funny, they never do things like this to you guys."

"Shut up Jeffro, let's go inside and find them."

***********

"Is this gonna hurt?"  Nora asked gripping Amy's hand as they gave her the antisceptic to put in her mouth.

"I'm not gonna lie, it will, but think of the pleasure you will bestow."  She said laughing.

"No shit, my girlfriend's got one. You're man is going to be very happy."  The piercer said pulling her tongue out with the clamps.

Nora squeezed Amy's hand as Amy's cell phone rang.  She answered, smiling over at Nora, giving directions as to where they were so she knew it was the boys.  Gasping when the needle went through her tongue, tears sprang to her eyes, but it was over before she had a chance to cry.

"What the hell are you guys doing here?  Please tell me you didn't get another tongue ring.  I don't think I could handle it."  Matt asked as he walked up to Amy, putting his arms around her waist.

"Not me."  She said, pointing over to Nora, who in turn stuck her tongue out to reveal perfect silver barbell.

Shane looked at her tongue, mesmerized, running a hand through his hair.  How in the hell did she know that was one of his fantasies?

"Holy shit."  He whispered as she went to pay.  This was definitely starting to get interesting.
