Yup she's better.
Flowers By The Side OF The Road
[Hummerhome, 3 am]
Katie: *whispers* Hey guys.
Anni: Are you seriously awake?
Katie: Why? Why wouldn't I be?
Carly: We're still up. Why can't she be?
JC: Because it's 3 am.
Anni: How did you get in here?
JC: I got tired of sleeping in the same room as NO ONE.
Anni: Ah, well it's a good thing there was a spare bed in here.
Carly: It's not a bed, it's more of a cot.
Katie: I have a bed.
Anni: Yeah we know that.
JC: So what were you and Speed doing in there? *wink*
Katie: *smiles* Nothing.
JC: It didn't sound like nothing.
Katie: He pushed me onto the floor so I grabbed him and then he tickled me.
JC: Aw that sounds like fun.
Carly: So he doesn't hate you anymore?
Katie: He said he loves me.
Anni: Well there you go.
Katie: Yeah but it's like he doesn't feel comfortable around me.
JC: He felt comfortable enough to tickle you.
Katie: Yeah...And I thought we kind of had something there before Delko barged in like usual.
Anni: That guys needs some sort of leash.
Carly: With lasers on it.
Anni: Lasers?
Carly: They're fun.
Anni: Ugh man I'm going to be pulling sparkles out of my hair for eons.
Katie: Did you fall down in the dinette or something?
Anni: No, I got itchy. And besides there's glitter EVERYWHERE.
JC: So don't touch it.
Anni: Do you not know the definition of EVERYWHERE?
JC: Well actually I checked the dictionary. The definition of 'everywhere' is 'everywhere' so it gets kind of vague.
Katie: Hey JC, you promised me that cookie.
JC: Oh the giant one?
Katie: Yeah.
JC: Oh man let's make it right now.
Katie: Right now? Really? It's 3 am.
JC: Come on. *grabs Katie*
Anni: Should we go with them?
Carly: Well you can stay here and suffocate in sparkles. I'm going to watch them make a cookie.
Anni: Just one?
Carly: Yeah right, it'll probably be huge.
[Dinette]
JC: Okay, sweety you can't put that much chocolate in there. We don't want to have a stroke.
Katie: I just cheated death. Put in more chocolate.
JC: You're the boss. *pours in chocolate*
Carly: Wow if you listen carefully, you can almost hear our arteries clogging with crap.
Anni: I don't hear anything.
Katie: More sugar! More sugar!
JC: Shh keep your voice down or you'll wake Horatio. Well, not that I have a problem with that but frankly I really want this cookie.
Katie: Okay mix it good.
JC: Why aren't you doing some of the work?
Katie: I cheated death.
JC: So?
Katie: So its your turn to get injured.
JC: Fine. *mixes* My good lord this is thick.
Katie: That's the way I like my cookies.
JC: You know what this batter needs?
Katie: Chocolate?
JC: ...I think we have enough chocolate. I was going for a bit of alcohol.
Katie: You want to put alcohol in the cookie batter?
Anni: Did someone say alcohol? I have alcohol.
Carly: Where did you get alcohol?
Anni: I am a woman of many talents.
Katie: Nah, it's okay. I don't think my body wants alcohol right now.
JC: Pfft, I know what your body wants.
Katie: *smiles* You are insane.
JC: Thank you.
Katie: *throws flour*
JC: HEY! Hey now that was my hair. No one touches my hair. *throws flour*
Katie: *giggles* How about your face? *attacks JC*
JC: AH! *laughing* You are SO dead!
Carly: *jumps up and down* I want in! I want in! *thows flour*
Anni: Ow, my eye.
Carly: Are you okay?
Anni: TOO SLOW! *throws flour*
Carly: AH! Man now you're gonna get it!
JC: *throws cookie batter into oven* Okay now you must all meet your fate. IN FLOUR!
Katie: *screams* ANNI HELP!
Anni: You're on your own girl.
Katie: *runs*
JC: I GOTCHA! *catches Katie*
Katie: AH!
JC: Get back over here you fruit cake.
Katie: Hey now, I'm more of a chocolate cake.
JC: Whatever you like. *throws flour*
Katie: AH! Blech my face!
JC: Aw poor baby. *laughs*
Katie: *laughing*
Carly: Ahem, Speed...
Katie: What? *gets ups* Oh...Haha...You're up.
Speed: *frowns*
JC: *stands* ..Uh..Haha.
Speed: Why does this place look like the michelin man exploded?
Katie: *wraps arms around Speed's neck* We were just baking.
Speed: *looks down* Baking what?
Katie: A cookie.
Speed: *grabs Katie's arms* You girls made a complete mess.
Carly: We can clean it.
Speed: You had better clean it before Horatio finds out.
Katie: You won't...*plays with buttons on Speed's shirt* Tell him will you?
Speed: *frowns*
Katie: Uh...Ahem...Right?
Speed: If he finds out you're all going to be in huge trouble.
Katie: Did you want some cookie?
Speed: No. I don't.
JC: Oh lighten up. Everything will be cleaned up.
Carly: Wow the flour has glitters in it. It's like winter in here.
Anni: OH! Let's put some flour in the vents so it comes out like snow.
Speed: No.
Anni: You know, if Delko had found us he'd be having fun with us instead of getting all mad.
JC: Yeah let's invite him out for some fun. Hey I bet if we got in our underwear, he wouldn't hesitate.
Katie: I'm game.
JC: YES! Plus it's gettin' a little hot in here.
Carly: It is.
[All girls strip, only wearing under garments]
JC: Now THIS is a party.
Carly: Hey where's that alcohol?
Speed: *rubs eyes* Girls, get dressed.
JC: No way. There's no fun in that.
Katie: Man if it wasn't so dark in here, I'd...I don't know what I'd do.
JC: That's the spirit. Go with your instincts?
Katie: What instincts?
Speed: Good lord. *grabs Katie* We need to talk.
Katie: Oooh are you breaking up with me? *laughs*
JC: *laughs*
[Corner of room]
Speed: Are you insane?
Katie: HECK YES!
Speed: Keep your voice down.
Katie: Why aren't you looking at me?
Speed: *frowns*
Katie: *smiles* Oooh talk about going with your instincts huh?
Speed: Enough. Get your clothes on and act like a human being.
Katie: Aw you're so cute when you're nervous.
Speed: I'll tell Horatio you know. I'll just barge in and tell him what you four are doing out here.
Katie: *walks closer* You're going to...Rat us out? *sad face*
Speed: *clears throat* Yeah.
Katie: Aww, that's too bad. I was really looking forward to having some...Fun.
Speed: ....Wh-what was this conversation about?
Katie: *smiles* Why don't you just run along back to bed. Horatio doesn't need to know.
Speed: You're crazy, you know that.
Katie: We're all a little crazy.
Speed: Don't blow anything up. *leaves*
Katie: *runs back* Okay I got rid of him.
JC: How?
Katie: I used my powers of seduction.
Carly: That works?
Katie: Apparently.
JC: Yeah men are all the same. *opens oven* Cookie time.
Anni: That didn't take long.
JC: Super oven. It's even bullet proof.
Katie: Holy lord that's huge. Okay, I want this corner.
Carly: What? It's a cookie. It doesn't have corners.
Katie: Fine, this SIDE.
JC: You know, cookies are round so they don't technically have sides.
Katie: Stop getting technical.
JC: Sorry.
[30 minutes later]
Carly: Okay that was the biggest cookie ever.
Anni: Ah man we should have SO put alcohol in the batter.
Katie: I liked it.
JC: *looks at watch* Man we should clean this place.
Carly: I got it covered.
Anni: Yeah it'll keep me occupied since Carly got me on her stupid Australian time. Now I'm awake during the night.
JC: I'll help too.
Katie: I'm kind of tired.
JC: You've been through a lot. Go get some rest.
Katie: I will, thanks. *leaves*
Anni: Should we vaccum or something?
Carly: Just...Put it all back in the bag.
JC: It's all been on the floor.
Carly: No one will know.
[Speed/Katie's room]
Katie: *climbs in bed* Hey are you asleep?
Speed: Do I look asleep?
Katie: We're finished having fun. They're all cleaning.
Speed: Good.
Katie: Sorry about before. I get hyper.
Speed: It's fine.
Katie: Ah man I have flour all over me.
Speed: Here, let me get that. *brushes flour off Katie's face* Better?
Katie: *smiles* Much.
Speed: *smirks*
Katie: ...*sigh*
Speed: What?
Katie: I just feel....Safe.
Speed: You are safe. I'll see you in the morning. *lays down*
Katie: *turns off light* Yeah...*lays down* In the morning.
