A/N: This is a special chapter, because you get two points of view! I hope you enjoy!
~Westly~
After we got back from Benny and Kiven's little pool party, I was pooped. I went up stairs and plopped on the couch. "We only spent a few hours over there, why do I feel so drained?" I ask Penni as she walks in.
She chuckles, "That's how Benny is. A little bit of him goes a log way." She then moves to the kitchen and I took of my shirt to get comfortable. I just laid there on the couch, listening to her humming a soft tune.
************************************************************************************
When I woke up, I think it was noon.
My muscles ached all over, and I guess that's what Kiven meant by 'physical therapy'. I stretched and groaned as my shoulders popped.
Romeo decides that I'm not miserable enough, he came over and plopped down on my head. "Damn Cat!" I say and push him off. "HEY!" I look up to see a girl with snow-blond hair looking at me with a red face. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" she said and stomped over to me.
Who the heck is this girl, and how did she get into Penni's apartment. "Calm down, I'm an old friend of Penni's." I say and put my hands up in defence. The no name girl snorted and grabbed my arms. "I know all of Pen-Pen's friends, and you sir, are not one of them."
She then proceeds to pull me off the couch and through the front door, down the stairs, past the opening to the flower shop, to the basement that I didn't even know existed. "Why don't you wait here for Penni to get back." she says while shoving me through the basement door. (Which is pretty impressive because she's like 5'2" and I'm 5'11") She then closes the door and locks it.
What the crap just happened????

It was around noon, and I was really hungry.
Why don't I go pick up some sandwiches at Berry's Deli, and bring one back for Westly? I smiled, and grabbed my purse. I flipped the sign and went to get those sandwiches.
I had already got them and was heading back when I ran into Marcus again. "If I didn't know better, I'd say you were stalking me." I say, and he smiles. "No, ma'am. Just wanted a pop." he says and holds up his coke. I let a small smile out. "Well if we keep meeting like this, then people are going to talk." he laughs. "Well Its not anything they haven't said before. Mind if I walk you back to your shop?" While he says that he extends his elbow, like any southern gentleman. "Maybe," I say, and walk right past him.
He catches up and says, "I was wondering what you were doing this evening." I look over at him curiously. "James and his wife would like to know if you would join us for dinner." I smile. "No, I can't, but please tell them that I wish I was there."
After that we walked in silence and soon came up to my shop. He tipped an imaginary hat and turned to leave. But then in noticed my door was unlocked. I peeked inside, but couldn't see anyone. "You want me to stay?" he asks facing me. I shake my head, "No, I probably forgot to lock it." I say and head inside.
I look around carefully, and then I hear a noise upstairs. I quietly go up, expecting to see Westly.
"Pen-Pen!", I hear her say and tackle me. "Tulip?!"
She laughs. "sorry! School ended early this year, and I came straight back home!" I sigh and shake my head. "Oh, and I stopped by Benny's and he told me to give you this!" she hands me a box, and I know what's in it. How many times have it told him I don't like guns!
Then it dawns on me: no Westly. I look around and head back down to the shop. Still no Westly. "Hey, Tulip, did you see a guy when you got here?" I ask. She twirls her snow-blond hair around her finger. I narrow my eyes at her. "Tulip, I know you're lying, now tell me the truth!"
Just then we hear a loud banging sound come from the basement. I look over at her. "What was that?" She shrugs her shoulders, and says, "Nothing, nothing! Must me a rat! A really really bit rat!" We head to the basement, and I hear some scuffling, and a bit of shouting.
She laughs and says, "Well look at that! You should get back to work!" I stop dead in my tracks. "Tulip, enough games. He's hurt. Let him out." she pouts and slowly stomps her way to the basement door. "You have been rescued," she says sullenly, and Westly comes barreling out and hugs me. "She's crazy!!!"
I laugh nervously. "Um, Westly, I'd like you to meet my twin sister, Tulip." He paused, probably in shock, and says, "You have got to be kidding me."
