Chapter4

Nancy spent the last few days packing her bags. 

"So where are you going this time?" asked Martin. 

"Texas." 

" Whoaa! Why Texas, though?" 

"Great malls and loads of healthy people."  

"Take me with you? Pretty please?" Martin stuck out his lower lip, which Nancy had to admit, looked adorable. This time, however: 

"No." 

"What do you mean 'no'? I'll be good, I swear!" 

"You? Be good? HAH! I'm closer to becoming the princess of China then you are to behaving yourself!" Nancy burst into hysterical laughter. 

" I still have feelings, you know. And I am good at heart." 

"I'm sure you are. Anyway, Mom and Dad said they'll be back next month. Can you handle yourself till then?" 

" Does it matter?" 

" You'll screw up anyway, so...." Nancy shrugged her shoulder. 

" Whatever. Anyway, your whole 'Mom-and-Dad'll-be-back-after-a-month' is a joke, right? 

" Yes, I'm dead serious." 

"No way. No way in hell." 

"Why are you so hype about it anyway?" 

"Once they're back I can finally go to Rabania." 

"And since when have you been so into Rabania?" 

"Nanii, the finest ladies are from Rabania! If you'd take ten seconds off your precious time to check out those backs, I swear, you'd..." 

Nancy held up her hand. 

"So that's what this is all about." 

" But, of course, Rabania's my hometown, and I love it unconditionally, and..." 

"And you love the 'backs' as well..." 

"And that too.." 

"Madam Nancy your bags are kept in the limo!" Said the maid as she entered the room. 

"Okay Thanks! So Mart, I have to go now." Nancy replied as she picked up her jacket and got up. 

"You still aren't taking me?" 

"Not in a million years, no" 

"Fine, Nancy. Have it your way. But no, don't ever think about picking up the phone and calling me up." 

"So I didn't have to do that! Wow, this just keeps getting better and better!" 

"I'd punch you if you weren't a girl." 

"I'd hit your willy if you had one." 

"Oh no you didn't." 

" I'm sorry did I hurt your nonexistent manlihood?" 

"Oh please, the moans and cries from my room every night prove otherwise." 

" Oh, God." 

"And that's what they scream, too." 

"I can't wait for the day you grow up." 

"Have fun waiting for nothing." 

"Goodbye Martin." 

Nancy pushed passed Martin, luggage in hand, and walked out the door.
