"Be quiet Brooke!"

"I'm not the one being loud!"

"Stop shoving!"

"I have no room!"

"Gah!"

I started laughing like a hyena because Ashton fell over the fence into Nicole's back yard.

Just to catch you up we are currently infiltrating Nicole's house. We made sure to check before beginning operation: Retrieve Creepy Doll, to make sure that no one was home.

We found Nicole's room and I used my amazing skills of opening windows to get in. I've had to sneak back into my house time and time again.

I got the window open and we slipped in. Her room was big. The walls were white and her bedspread was purple. Her room wasn't very clean but it wasn't as messy as mine. (Monica always gets so mad at me about it.) "Okay if you were a creepy doll where would you be?" Ashton asked me.

"The closet?" I offered.

Her closet was huge so we took a good ten minutes in there. I found a shirt that I liked so I though she wouldn't miss it. It was at the back of her closet stuffed in a corner, so I might as well put it out of its misery.

"Quit stealing stuff Brooke and find the stupid doll." Ashton said.

"I wasn't stealing!"

"Oh? Then why'd you take that shirt?"

"It's a rescue not a theft!"

"Whatever."

We continued searching, but we couldn't find it anywhere. I did find some funny pictures, but I left them where they were.

We went out in her room and looked through everything, and we were almost finished when we heard something. People were coming upstairs. I hadn't even heard them come home!

"Ashton! Get under the bed! Quickly!"

We both dove under right as the door opened. I couldn't breathe, that is until I saw what was right next to me. Before I could let out a shrill cry Ashton clamped his hand over my mouth. The person searched a little then left.

"Well I found the doll." I said after a couple seconds of silence.

"Grab and let's get out of here before we get caught!"

I grabbed Creepy Doll and shoved him in my bag and we made like a banana and split!

We were laughing as we drove away. "Well what do you want to do now, my beautiful accomplice?"

I thought for a second. "Um...Do you think we can talk?"

He stopped the car and turned to me with a serious face. "What did you do."

"Nothing! I mean...can we just go somewhere to talk?"

"Fine."

He parked in the park parking lot. "What?" He said turning to me. I bit my bottom lip, nervous. "Brooke?"

"Well I have an ex boyfriend..."

"You have many."

"Shut up. His name is Aiden. We didn't exactly end on good terms."

"What happened?"

"He cheated on me."

"Ouch."

"Yeah I caught him with a cheerleader at a party. The cheerleader was drunk, he was completely sober."

"Ass."
