"So, you know in horror movies when the girl's like, 'Oh my god! There's something in the basement. Let me just run down there in my underwear and see what's going on in the dark.' And you're like 'What is your problem? Call the police.' And she's like, 'okay.' But it's too late because she's already getting murdered? Well, uh my story's kind of like that." Jess, the girl the group was looking into being their roommate explained

Ramona found herself cringing as she told them a descriptive story of what had transpired with her ex. Ramona zoned out halfway through it, but from what she picked up she was naked when she found out her boyfriend was cheating on her. She couldn't imagine ever being in a comfortable situation.

"So." Jess began "That happened. That's why I need a new apartment. I'm sorry, what was the question again?"

Schmidt and Ramona shared a look as Nick asked "Do you have any pets?"

-----(Cue theme song)---

"You know what's funny? When I saw your ad on craigslist, I thought all of you would be women. Did you write it?" Jess asked looking at Ramona

This caused everyone to laugh, Ramona a bit harder than them. She gave Schmidt a grin

Schmidt's laugh was more forced "We're all... That's... Why would you think that?" He shifted in his seat "I mean, what?"

Ramona calmed down a bit. "Schmidt was the one that wrote the ad, he wouldn't let me do it. Something about not wording things right?" the woman looked at Schmidt "Nailed it by the way."

"Oh, I guess, it was something about the words you used. It was like, uh, like 'sun-soaked' and 'beige-y' " Jess explained

This caused the group to laugh again. Ramona found herself instantly looking away when Schmidt pulled his shirt off, feeling a bit awkward being next to her shirtless ex.

"No one wants to see that." Ramona groaned and covered her face

"You used to." Schmidt fired back before he looked at Jess "What about these? These beige-y to you?"

"Sorry." Nick looked at Jess

"I'm his trainer, so, uh, it's kind of the house that coach built right here." Coach informed Jess as he smacked Schmidt's stomach lightly

"What are we looking at here?" Nick asked,

"Let me know when you find out?" Ramona tapped Nick's shoulder and went to the kitchen, she wanted to be away from this situation as soon as possible.

Jess got up and looked around "This place is beautiful. It has so much light. Spencer hated light... It's hard to say his name."

It's okay. Nick knows. He got dumped." Schmidt spoke as he finally put his shirt on

Nick scoffed "Dumped. Yeah, I got dumped." he said sarcastically before coming to his senses "Yeah, I got dumped. She dumped me. And I'm over it."

"If you're not, it's okay bud. Breakups suck." Ramona gave him a sad smile

"It was six months ago Ramona! Get past it! I don't even know why we're still talking about it. Why is everybody looking at me?" Nick sighed and rubbed his forehead

"You're one to talk dude, Ramona dumped you." Coach looked at him

"Ernie, I swear to god." Ramona glared at him,

"Thank you for bringing that up. Look, that was a year and a half ago we both moved on." Schmidt told him

"Mhm." Ramona gave him a small smile "It's nothing we have to bring up. We were young and stupid."
