James was grinning as he laughed, they would like their collection. Video games were all the guys did in there spare time really. So James proudly walked over to the cabinets next to the plasma screen tv and opened the holy grail of movies and games. "Choose whatever you desire." he said with a brilliant smile anticipating their reactions. Well, at least Tatiana's and Samara's. Devin seemed to of gotten Deckle's attention. No wonder he was the one that always got the dates.

Oh, Devin was enjoying himself greatly, getting to flirt with such a feisty girl got his full attention. "Extremely. I hope you can handle it." he said teasing her right back. As the other guys went to join everyone else, seeing as the two seemed in a trance at the moment.

"Awesome. You have good taste." Corey said with a grin at Samara. The shy one seemed to be the a lot of fun. She was into video games, action and comedy movies. What more could you ask for? Even Tatiana was. "I don't think your friends were trying to turn you red because you are adorable." Keegan added in smiling at her and Tatiana. "Your friends are very wise." he said with a small nod of his head.

"James I think you hit the Holy Grail of girls." "They are cute and like videogames." "Man we love you." Corey and Keegan said as the attacked James with a hug only making him laugh. It was easy to tell they didn't get out much.

Deckle smirked at Devin, ginning as he teased right back. "Oh I think I can, I hope you can handle me, I'm not some simpering cutsie prissy girl." she warned, winking good naturedly.

Gasping and ooing and ahhing at the collection of movies and video games, the girls dove in, scanning every title with their eyes, looking in all corners, Seeing two potential movie choices, Tatiana and Samara shot each other a grin. Jackpot.
Turning to see the others comment she was cute too, Samara turned even redder, waving them away as she flushed in embarassment. "Nuuuuuu, I'm not cute!!!" she squeeked petulantly, shaking her head furiously.

Turning to the boys, Tatiana and Samara pulled out their two unanimous choices, grinning triumphantly. "'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' or 'Pirates of the Carribean 1!'" they spoke in unison, stopping and laughing at the boys as they hugged their buddy. Clearly all they'd ever seen were preppy, pansy, or boring girls.

Devin smiled warmly at Deckle as he chuckled a little from her comment. "I wouldn't be able to handle you if you were like that Darlin'. Definitely would be running." he informed her. What she had describe was practically all their fans. At least when they were trying to hit on them, with a flip of their hair or a batting of their eyelashes. They never seem to realize it doesn't work.

The boys laughed merrily at the girls reactions to the collection, all the more to Samara's reaction. "Your reaction completely contradicts your statement Samara." Corey chimed in this time, as he was still hugging James who had just shrugged off what they were doing. Pretty much use to it. Just went to show how comfortable they were with one another, making them a tight band. Never really fought or quarreled.

"Monty Python would be fun and we can always watch both depending on how late you girls wanna stay up." James said with a smile they had choose two good movies. It made Keegan and Corey start debating on which one to watch. Which lead to what James said. The two movies were two great comedies, with two unique stories.

Deckle chuckled, grinning good naturedly as she leaned against the wall casually. "Good, cause girlies like that make me want to clobber someone."

The three girls were really an interesting trio. Deckle, the cool, spicy speak her mind no matter what or who chick. Tatiana, the calm headed, always kind and accepting, pleasant and responsible one. Then Samara, the silent, shy, spacy oddball. Samara was like a lava lamp, always shifting and changing and unpredictable.

Before the two girls could offer comments or answers on how late to stay up and what movie to watch, Samara squeeked, sinking into herself at the attention. "H-how the heck am I cute though?" she asked, blinking innoccently at the others.

Devin laughed leaning against the wall on his arm so he could still see Deckle. "That isn't good, I wouldn't want you to get kicked out."

The guys were the typical quartet of guys that you would never think would be friends. James, was gentleman, with a gentle heart, and was always getting the girls. He was too nice to deny his fans what they wanted. Keegan, surprisingly was the laid back one but yet he was the loudest one, a party animal and somewhat of a diva. Corey, the conservative, introverted one, that took awhile to crack open. He just had a hard time opening up to people. Then there was Devin, a complete playboy, if he liked a girl he would let her know it. He was on the blunt side and didn't mind speaking what was on his mind or do what was in his mind. Was the one that seemed to get into all the fights.

"Well, you have a sweet innocence." "The squeak is adorable and your reactions." "What guy could deny such a cute girl blushing." They all said giving in all their opinions as they talked it over between each other.

Samara squeeked, poking her fingers together shyly and looking at the floor as though it were facinating...and what the hell kind of stain was that? It looked like someone had been playing with a craft smouldering iron. Ideas and possible scenarious ran through her mind, making Tatiana laugh at how easily distracted the female could be sometimes. "Did you take your meds this morning?" "Um...I don't remember?" "Probably not then."

"Pshh, I won't get kicked out. No need to worry about little old me." Deckle shrugged, smiling as she plopped on one of the love couches. "You guys got any bean bags? If not, you should get some, I'm sure they'd be fun." "And squishy! And fun to chuck! Like chuck the medicine ball, that was fun till it got banned!" Samara burst in, a snippet of conversation catching her immediate attention, thereby keeping her from flushing and trying to deny being 'cute' to the others.

Deckle rolled her eyes and snickered. "Not even Tatiana or I liked that game. too painful. Fun to watch, not fun being in it though. I still can't believe the teacher let us try that idea. What were we thinking, dodgeball with a freaking medicine ball?"

James, Keegan and Corey looked at each other before laughing. The girls were really interesting and they guessed Samara had ADHD, or ADD. It would explain how she got distracted so easily and need medicine. To them she didn't look sick at all. And now they were talking about Medicine ball dodge ball? The guys couldn't help but laugh and shiver slightly. That must of been one really painful game. "That would be fun to watch and medicine balls do hurt." James said glaring at Devin. "You had it coming pretty boy." Devin grinned. Was a fun day at the gym.

"We were planing to redecorate the basement of Keegan's apartment into our studio. Could use a girls opinion." Devin said liking Deckle's idea of bean bags because they were just borrowing this room till they could get their own place fixed up. Lucky them got a pipe to burst and finally got the room stripped. Between school and performances they didn't have much time to finish it. Plus they had no idea how too.

Corey shook his head he couldn't understand why a teacher would allow kids to play that. "Well, was everyone playing seriously?" he asked. Most of the time there were just a few kids that stood in a group doing nothing. Their teacher always got mad at them. Really mad. Fun to watch her face turn beat red.

"Despite what one might think, Deckle is good at designing things." Tatiana assurred the boys, chuckling at her best friend Samara. Deckle puffed pout her chest, looking quite pleased and amused by the antics and all the characters in one room. This was fun, and secluded, spacy Samara even seemed to be having a good time, judging by the smile on her face.

"It was fun, even if it did hurt.." Samara began, quirking her brows in confusion and curiousity at James and Devin. "What happened with the medicine ball?" inquired the interested female, looking to James for an answer. Meanwhile, Tatiana proceeded to answer Corey.

"For the most part, yes. We were asked to come up with something one day cause the teacher was feeling tired and out of ideas, and we were rummaging around the supplies and found the medicine balls. We were thinking what to do with them, and one person said dodgeball, not noticing it was a medicine ball, after we scolded the kids for ragging on him for not knowing the diffrence between a dodgeball and a medicine ball, Deckle, as a joke, said it would give more incentive to dodge, so we tried it."

"Then we would love to have her opinion, seeing as Devin just wants a mini fridge." Keegan said with a role of his eyes. He was glad to meet someone with the skills at designing things. The basement need some work. They had all the rooms need, none of the furniture or anything else. It could also work as an excuse to get the girls to hangout with them. Wouldn't wanna pass up such a great opportunity.

James laughed, Samara was quite amusing and she brought up the memory of the day at the gym. "We were at the gym playing basketball and like usual fans were there. At least fans for me Devin wanting revenge threw a medicine ball at me. First time we left the gym with so many bruises and sore." James and Devin started laughing at the memory. It was painful but fun.

"Makes sense, I would dodge a medicine ball if thrown at me." Corey said with a laugh. The story only made the girls seem more interesting.

"A mini fridge is good, You also need plenty of relaxing lounging space, some comfy chairs and beanbags, and a place for your stuff." Deckle began, then held out another finger, thinking of th essentials. "Good light sources, a fan, and plenty of wall outlets or a long extention outlet you can plug like 10 things to."

"Oh, so you were into music and stuff back then too? Well, i bet that hurt, getting whacked with a medicine ball." Samara commented, smiling and glad he mentioned only bruises. One kid at their high school had actually broken heir toe and one lost a tooth before the game was banned.

Picking up the two movies, Tatiana held them up. "Hey ladies and germs, which movie?"

Keegan's eyes widened as Deckle described what they needed. His head was slowly starting to hurt. "You are hired! What will you need for your expertise?" he asked referring to payment. Was willing to give her anything as long as she helped. Devin was smirking. If she accepted then they would be able to hangout again and he couldn't deny how much he was looking forward to that.

"We were into music since the last year of Middle school. Didn't start the band till around midway through High school. It did but we are lucky we got no bones or anything broke. Would of been horrible." James conversed with her. Now thinking about how dangerous what they did was, made a chill go up his spine. But he shrugged it off smiling at Samara.

"Both!" Keegan and Corey said in unison, while James and Devin shrugged they were with them. They were all good with staying up all night.

Deckle's brows raised slightly as she looked with confusion and Devin and Keegan. "What do you mean need? I can tell you the items that are best and in your price range once you figure out what you want and need. As for payment, I'm not here talking about a job, I don't need money, just treat me to a meal or some candy or some random thing like that if you feel like doing so." She said with a shrug.

"Really? that's cool! And I'm glad you guys didn't get hurt, that would suck." Samara smiled, looking over and perking up at the movies. "Pirates of the Caribbean first!" she descided on a whim, then looking suddenly startled by a realization. "Oh! I'm sorry, I need to make sure I can stay out late."

Samara scooted away to a corner, flipping oopne her phone. Normally, it didn't bother her a wink to be living at home with her family. But still, it was kinda making her feel shy and younger and even more un adult and un cool to have to be so nit picky in front of the band.

"Samara, you may be 19, but it is convenient to live at home. Your parens just say so long as you live here, just follow house rules. not that big of a deal, it's their house, their rules." Tatiana reassured her friend, patting her on the shoulder. "Heck, at least your parents would notice if you dissappeared, I'm one of 6, so they tend to frget me, being the oldest."

"We are will to pay you what you need. We have what we need. Just no the furniture, flooring, wall color, etc..." Keegan said explaing what they meant. "Oh, we have the money Darling. We are pretty popular band. Can easily rake in the cash." Devin said with a laugh. They just really needed some guidance. Had the bathroom, recording room and the lounge area. Only thing they decorated was the recording room. Needed specific things.

James laughed and went to sit down on one of the couches hoping Samara could stay late. Would be no fun without her. "Well, we hope you can stay Samara." James said as the others nodded. They gave her a thumbs up. Living with her parents didn't faze them. Thought she was lucky actually.

"It is really convenient. Don't have to deal with taxes." Devin said. Taxes sucked and then making sure they had money for food and other necessities. Luckily he was roommates with James and James could cook, real well. Made it so they didn't need takeout. That cost a lot of money after awhile and was why Corey and Keegan were always over.

"Don't feel bad Tatiana. We all left home, parents didn't really support our choice in making a band. Thought we wouldn't make it anywhere." Keegan said with a laugh. How they were so wrong now. The bands was doing great! Now they just needed to get a CD made.

Deckle shrugged, grinning and leaning back against a couch. "I still don't need money, but pay me if you must. I accept payment in chocolates, cash, and gift cards to best buy." she said, waving a hand in the air and trying to look snooty, albeit grinning the entire time. She would be willing to help, heck, give her something to do, and she could see Devin some more, not a bad deal to her.

Samara conversed for a few moments, smiling when she got off. "So long as Tatiana and Deckle are here, I can hang out until 1:30 am, anything beyond that and I can't hang out for a week." she informed them, glad her parents allowed it. Putting a finger to her lips, she realized they were trying to make her feel better, and she felt almost misty eyed...almost. "Yeah, that's true, they pay for stuff, and I get to stay at the nice house, and with my pets and my pool and jaccuzzi. I also have 3 fridges stashed with goodies and stuff for when I get hungry, so it is pretty nice." she murmured, nodding as she thought of what she had and how she had it pretty much made.

Tatiana smiled at Corey and Keegan nodding. "Most parents don't trust that career choice, but some do make the cut, after all, someone has to be the ones good enough to make it, why not you guys?"

The guys turned to each other and swapped a high five. "That works for us!" They were ecstatic. Were finally going to finish that place. At least Keegan was over joyed about that. Devin on the other hand was more pleased he would get to see Deckle again. He would give her a very nice payment. Wanted her to come back. Was already thinking over hie gift. Cash, chocolate or a gift card. Seemed simple enough that was till he would have to go looking for something. Keegan was just going to hunt James down. Made great homemade chocolate.

"Then we won't go over that time limit." James said with a small nod, glad Samara could stay. Wouldn't be right without her. That was till he laughed at his friends reaction to what she had at her house. "We are so totally hanging out at your place next!" They cheered before turning to Samara sheepishly. "If that is okay with you." But a pool and a jacuzzi with three fridges, how could they not wanna be there. It was like a mini paradise.

The comment Tatiana said made Corey and Keegan laugh. "They'll see the light when we are famous!" They sang happily. Dancing around in a great mood. They were having loads of fun.

Tatiana laughed, nodding. "I'm sure they'll be proud of you then." the boys were pretty fun and seemed to be dancing merrily. She was tempted to join the silliness, as was Samara, but Samara was shy and did not consider herself good at dancing.

Samara smiled, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. "It depends on the day and stuff, but I'm sure my family won't mind, they are never home very much anyways. So long as Deckle or Tatiana is with me, they will permiss it if Tatiana and Deckle approve, cause they trust them."

Deckle smiled, plopping on one of the availiable loe seats. "We have an agreement then, now, let's shut up and watch the movie, now where's the popcorn?" she demanded, crossing her arms and scowling, actng tough and pompous for a moment. "Samara, fecheth me some nourishment!" "Nuuuuu."

Samara fake cowered, the twinkle in her eye sugesting she was faking. She did want popcorn too. "Well, I'll make some, if they let me and have some to make?"

"That works for us!" the guys grinned till Deckle told them to shut up and watch the movie a pout came to their faces. That was till they saw James on the large couch and attacked him. Corey and Keegan ended up in James' lap with their arms around his next.

"We are now ready for the movie." The two laughed as devin rolled his eyes. Getting up he went to the cabinets and pulled out a box of popcorn that need to be microwaved. "If you want to make the popcorn Samara you better get over her be for I do Doll face." he said with a laugh as he cracked open the box.

The guys not standing were all now comfortable, James didn't count. They couldn't help but be so happy over the fact that girls wanted to hangout with them. It was a rare occasion and they were all so great!

Deckle quirked a brow, hoping she hadn't upset them. Why on earth were they pouting? Had she said something wrong? In any case, Samara rushed to the cabinets and microwave,, ready to make the popcorn for everyone when Devin made her begin turning 3 shades of red. "Y-y-yessir.." squeeked the female, snatching the bags of popcorn and tearing off the blastic, popping them in the microwave.

Tatiana had by now taken out her camera, snapping candid shots of the males as they goofed off, laughing as the two boys clung to their buddy, his expresiion an amusing one.

Devin came over to sit next to Deckle. "They are fine. Don't take anything to heart. Just two energetic guys that like to have fun." He calmly stretched his arm leaving one to rest along the back on the couch. It was a comfortable sitting position to him. He didn't mind the idea of having Deckle close, actually it was pleasing. But he smiled over at Samara, she was pretty cute in an innocent way.

James saw Tatiana taking pictures and just gave her a look of, really? They didn't mind at all. Trusted her enough not to do something they wouldn't like with the pictures. Luckily Keegan and Corey were to distracted to take notice. Were to amused with tormenting James.

Deckle smiled, leaning back with one leg crossed, folded over the other. Oune arm reclined on the back of the couc, the other resting on the armrest. Being beside Devin was pretty fun as well, but she just smiled, acting calm and cool as a cucumber.

Tatiana continued to take shots of the boys, even a few of Deckle and Devin. Now where was Samara to take pictures of? Scanning around, she smiled, feeing Samara carry in 3 bows full to the brim with popcorn. Two medium bowls, one giant one. Despite how they tipped precariiously as she carried all three, the red haired girl managed not to spill a single kernel and placed the bowls on the cofee table, giggling as the boys messed with James.

Devin couldn't help but lean down and whisper a message to Deckle. "You know I think you are the most beautiful girl I've seen tonight." He was trying to get her to blush. Wanted that cool, yet attractive act to crumble just a little. Her smile was gorgeous making him want to see more.

James was about ready to fly out of the couch to help Samara but the only problem were the two sitting on him. "Aw, lover boy she can handle it on her own." Corey teased and, "You have us now." Keegan stated rather suggestively causing James to get a horrified expression. Leaving the two to laugh happily as they succeed in creeping him out. Then they took on of the bowls and put it in James lap. "You are great at holding the popcorn love." "We should do this more often." The two laughed as the took some popcorn and gave James some. James was a docile creature, slow to anger, and didn't hit like Devin did.

As Deckle leaned into the cushions, she felt the tickle of Dein's breath on her ear, making her flush a bit, especially at his flattering words. Somehow the way he said it made her smile and feel oddly flattered and intrigued as opossed to the usual wanting to slug a man. "Thank you....that is..kind of you to say.." she said with a smile, quickly doing her best to push the faint blush away.

Tatiana just stood, trying to pick a seat as the boys all hogged one. With a shrug, she went to the other love seat. "Come on Samara, looks like we sit here."
"Ok..." she said, watching the boys in curiousity and half laughing, half gaping as the boys teased him, effectively creeping and weirding their buddy out by being sultry and lovey dovey. Nevertheless, she sat with Tatiana, Tatiana wondering if the boys would notice the two weren't sitting with them on the now crowded couch.

The reaction Devin received was perfect, he loved the blush Deckle had. Though he was truly surprised he didn't get punched. "No need to thank me, just my opinion sweetheart." He smiled back at her, he was good for now. That blush made his day, he was officially on cloud nine, and needed nothing more. Only in a week would he want to see it again. Enjoyed Deckle's company way too much to let her go so easily.

The boys did realize the girls were sitting alone, James pouted while the two looked at each other. Keegan was the first to make a move, he put the popcorn bowl back on the coffee table before making he way to Samara. With a gentle touch he got her two her feet before give her a gentle little push into James. He was playing the matchmaker at the very moment. James seemed to like Samara, Keegan hoped he would get forgiven. Would do nothing to hurt Samara and James would easily catch her.

Keegan sat down next to Tatiana. "Sorry, I hope you don't mind my company. Playing matchmaker is a dangerous job." He smiled at her hoping she would understand what they were doing.

Deckle relaxed, leaning back into the cushions and watching with amusement as Samara was manuevered towards James. She felt rather, content and quite happy to be sitting with Devin and recieving his attention. Ordinarily, any guy speaking to her with such blatant flattery would earn a punch in the face, but Devin seemed sincere, not like a lying, scumbag playboy.. He seemed to be the player of the group, but not overly so to the point it made her nauseous.

Tatiana smiled, grinning as the boys began to pout as they realized the girls were away from them. As Keegan moved, she made no move to stop him from nudging a clueless and innoccently curious looking Samara towards the blonde. She had to nod and agree with Keegan. "Indeed, it seems dangerous, though I've not really done it much myself."

Samara, tripping over her own feet fell and landed so she practically landed in James' lap. Turning a cherry red, she quickly moved so she was not in a compromising position. "I'm sorry! Are you ok?"

Devin chuckled as Samara was practically thrown into James. Made him glad that he was the one to make the move on the girl without assistance. Theirs made things awkward, but seeing Deckle punch them would be good for a laugh. Plus he would get to touch her. He hadn't yet cause he didn't want to move to fast or make things awkward and cross the line. Liked where he was,could compliment her and flirt with no guilty feelings.

"We could teach you if you like. Just need to watch who you try it on. Like Deckle, I would never do that to her. Would prefer not having a fist in my body." Keegan said with a laugh. He sprawled out on the touch making sure not to hit Tatiana. Wasn't sure she was okay with being touched by a male. Would be cute if she reacted like Samara, yet at the same time saddening. He would like the girl to stay in his lap.

James had a good shock as he attempted to catch Samara ending with her in his lap. Felt kind of good but he couldn't do that to Samara. With an inaudible sigh he watched her quickly moving and apologizing. "I'm fine. Are you okay?"
