Homecoming Queen (Such a Shame, Shame, Shame)

Frenemies With Benefits?

"Wait a sec, you wan't me to do what?" Bam shouted, Jeff laughing hysterically before regaining his composure.

"We need you to- HA! Ahhaaaaaa.... We need- Oh my god, Amy, a little help?" Jeff attempted, but turned to Amy who looked at her clipboard.

"Ah yes, Margera comma Bam..... You're supposed to get chased down the sidewalk by six police dogs."

"Oh I understood that, I just want to know why." Bam shouted, looking at the six massive dogs sitting on the sidewalk.

"Because it will be funny." Johnny answered, Rikki smiling.

"You want to help me here?"

"I promised to keep my mouth shut sir." Bam glared at Rikki who merely continued to smile as the cop shouted a command to the dogs, the group darting down the sidewalk after a screaming Bam, camera men filming his every move. Bam darted into an alley, praying the dogs would run past him with no luck, the shepards darting after him without giving him the chance to catch his breath. He ran back past the others and skidded to a halt, scrambling up a tree.

"CALL THEM OFF DAMMIT!" The cop whistled and the barking dogs left the tree, now uninterested in Bam. "You guys are dicks." He said, jumping out of the tree and grabbing a beer out of the cooler, his hand visibly shaking. "Scared the fuck outta me....Rikki!"

"I'm not supposed to talk."

"You can talk now, you should have spoke up when the bastards sicced the dogs on me!" Rikki smirked and snatched the beer from Bam.

"Okee dokiee Bambi."

"Stop calling me that."

"Gotcha Bambi." Rikki said, Bam groaning and grabbing another beer before sitting cross legged on the pavement beside Rikki. Ryan and Astrid were sitting in the catering tent nearby, Ryan still pointing at Rikki's neck.

"Ryan honey, stop it."

"Buh, buh."

"There's nothing there." Ryan shook his head no vigorously, setting his beer down. "What?"

"I'll go prove it, do you want me to prove it?" Astrid sighed, finishing off her beer and tossing the bottle in the trash. "I saw it. I FUCKING SAW IT."

"Why are you so wound up about this?"

"Because that means they were makin' out, which means they don't hate each other, which means those two are gonna date, which means I don't get any guy time with Bam. I NEED MY GUY TIME ASTRO!"

"You're concerned that he's not going to spend time with you? I'm marrying a teenage girl with a beard. Ryan, where are you-" Astro tried, Ryan jumping to his feet and dragging Rikki to the catering tent, her butt scraping the pavement. "You poor defenseless Italian woman, I apologize."

"I brought the proof."

"When did I become evidence?"

"The same time you and Bam started canoodling."

"'Canoodling?' Really Ryan? Canoodling...." Rikki said, Ryan looking at her with an unamused expression before unsnapping the clasp on Rikki's choker and tossing the necklace away, pointing proudly at the little circular mark, now a darker shade as it was bruising up.

"HICKEY. Astrid my love, I won. HICKEY! GOD DAMMIT IT'S A HICKEY!" Ryan shouted, Everyone looking now.

"Ry, you have issues." Rikki said with a chuckle before grabbing her choker and replacing it around her neck. "Now may I go and drink the beer you made me abandon?"

"Wait, I wanna do something really quick." Astrid said, grabbing the megaphone from atop the cooler, Rikki's personal favorite toy. "BAM AND RIKKI SITTIN' IN A TREE, F-U-C-K-I-N-G! Ehem. Now you may go."

"Thank you you useless Dunns."

"We love you!" Ryan and Astro shouted, Rikki chuckling and sitting back down beside Bam, her beer now in his hand.

"Thanks you dick."

"Welcome bitch." He said with a little grin before motioning to the tent. "What was that about?"

"Dunn number one feels as though the fucking hickey you decided to put on my neck somehow compromised something he called 'Guy Time'."

"Oh no, I'd never compromise guy time. God damn we're so totally gay for each other!" Bam shouted, flopping backward on the pavement.

"You just now realized that? Without me, Astro or Amy around this would be one big gay orgy." Bam grabbed Rikki by the collar and drug her to the concrete beside him, the two of them staring at the stars and swatting at mosquitoes the size of their hands.

"I'm pretty sure you know for a fact I'm not gay." Bam argued, Rikki chuckling and removing her hands from behind her head, placing them lightly at her sides as Bam yawned and sipped on his third beer.

"Methinks the lady doth protest too much." She murmured, Bam chuckling and passing her the beer. "Thanks." She yawned and leaned her head on Bam's shoulder, Bam's arm wrapping around her shoulders and resting lightly on her left arm.

"Ha ha ha. Methinks the lady should shove it up her ass."

"Oh, kinky."

"You're an asshole."

"The proper term is Jackass." Rikki added, Bam shaking his head and standing up before pulling Rikki to her feet, his arms around her torso and his forehead rested against hers. "Bam."

"Hm?"

"I don't think I hate you anymore."

"Same here, so what does that mean? We... like each other?"

"No, oh fuck no. But I just don't hate you anymore." Bam shook his head and kissed her, not the urgent needy one from earlier, or the rough one during their quick fights for dominance, this one was softer and extended, Rikki slightly surprised at his change in behavior but pleasantly so. "Well, that was different...."

"Uh, y-yeah. I'm gonna turn in for the night, those dogs wore me out." Bam said, taking his hands off  Rikki and walking for his trailer.

"Yeah, me too." She said, walking into her adjacent trailer before screaming and bolting back outside, diving into Bam's trailer.

"The hell?" Bam shouted, darting out of his room in his boxers, toothbrush clamped in his teeth.

"There was a spider...."

"Still scared of spiders huh?"

"It was big Bam! And yes, yes I am. Hold me?" Rikki held up her arms and pouted, Bam shaking his head and giving her a hug. "Can you go kill it?"

"Ugh, hold on." Bam exited his trailer, Rikki peering out behind him before he bolted out and back into his trailer. "There wasn't one there were twelve and they were all out to get me."

"Then I'm sleeping here." Rikki stated, Bam shrugging and waving her to the bedroom.

"I'll take the couch."

"Thanks Bam." Rikki said, walking to the little room and curling up in the only thing inside, a massive king-sized bed. Bam sighed and ran a hand through his hair before he sat on the couch, attempting to get comfortable before walking to his room.

"Hey, move over, the couch isn't comfy." Rikki grumbled sleepily but slid over, Bam crawling in beside her and drifting to sleep, Rikki vaguely aware of his breath on her neck.
