It had been over ten years. Why did his name make her heart drop to the bottom of her stomach? Adjusting her brunette hair over her shoulders, she turned off the camera and moved to stand in front of the mirror. A simply red pullover sweater and a pair of light blue ankle jeans, why was she suddenly so nervous? After all, she was supposed to be a grown ass woman.

Driving to the address, the door opened as she moved toward it, "Bae, hey," Brian was quick to say, a smile brightening his features as he held the front door, "Come inside."

"It's been a while," She hummed nervously, slowly inching inside as a huge grin pulled at her lips, "What is it that you need?"

"We need you to be a bitch."

Her eyes widened at the sound of Joe's voice and she couldn't help but laugh as he and James stepped into sight, "Well," She hummed, a smile on her lips, "You, more than anyone, know that will be easy for me."

"Here's the catch," James was quick to say, stepping toward her as she brushed her hands over the sweater she wore. She was hesitant to speak, feeling as though Sal would jump out of hiding at any moment, "You have to be a bitch to Sal."

"Guys --." She took a breath, not knowing what to say, "You know --."

"I'll walk you through every word," Brian was quick to tell her, saying eagerly, "Look, I promise, it will be worth it."

"I haven't spoken to him in over ten years!" She said nervously. The thought of seeing him again spiked her anxiety, "Guys, I don't know if I can."

"You can," Brian said with a smile, placing his hand on her arm, "Like I said, I'll be in your ear the entire time."

"Germs, animals, tight spaces, and trash!" Murr listed to begin the punishment section of the episode, "Sal hates a lot of things, including us." 

"But we've located the only person Sal doesn't hate," Joe laughed, saying to the camera, "And we would know, since he hasn't stopped talking about her for the last twelve years."

"This girl is a dream," Q said with a smile, letting a nervous laugh escape his lips, "They dated for a total of two years, on and off, of course, but he was totally in love with this girl." Q said, hesitancy in his voice.

"I take pride in the fact that I introduced them to one another," Joe said confidently to the camera with a smile, saying, "She and I have been great friends from the beginning."

"Joe, she fucking hates you!" Q said a moment later, watching as Murr let out a obnoxious laugh, "She thinks you're a fucking lunatic!" He let out a slight laugh, saying to the camera, "So, this is what's going to happen," He began, saying to the camera, "Murr and Joe will be talking to Sal while I talk with Olivia and we are going to watch what unfolds during Sal's food court speed dating."

"Yes!" Murr exclaimed, saying, "Sal's punishment is to get a total of three people to agree that they would go on a date with him, but, the catch, he has to say and do what we tell him."

"That is, until he takes a seat with Olivia," Joe said with a smile, saying, "We aren't helping him with that one!"

She sat at the side of the food court with her phone held to her ear to make it appear like she wasn't talking to herself. With an earpiece and a hidden microphone clipped beneath her clothes, she nervously fixed her hair and shifted in her seat, "You nervous, Bae?" Q asked her, making her grin and shift in the chair she sat in.

"Where'd you disappear to after high school, Quinn?" She asked playfully, keeping her head down, "I've missed you."

"You're lying, I can tell," He said with a smile in his voice, "You're still the demon woman that stole my seat in English class and made me sit in the front row, I know it."
