Morgan got all the girls out into the living room so they could loosen up before going to Brian's. A.C. was already out there and the danced together for a moment until the other girls came out. They all danced and then A.C. gasped. Morgan looked to see what the problem was. She looked out the window to find the guys staring at them through the kitchen window. She screamed and pulled the drapes.

The guys laughed as Morgan dropped her mouth and shut the curtains. AJ just seemed to stare into space while the guys talked. "They were pretty good," Nick admitted.
"Yeah, they really can dance!" Kevin exclaimed. "Who are those other girls?"
They all looked at Brian. "I dunno!" he excused himself.
* * * *
The girls walked over reluctantly. They peered through the peek-hole in the door and knocked. Brian and Nick raced to the door. Brian pushed Nick and he ended up at the feet of A.C. "Well, it's nice to meet you too, but um, Toria here is really more your type." she curtsied. "But you can bow at my feet anytime you'd like." They all laughed as Nick turned a color that matched Morgan's dress. After that, things went smoothly. Shai and Howie got along great. Kim and Kevin went to talk about football, Morgan tried to talk to AJ and ended up in the punch, so they went to the drycleaners, Toria and Nick went to a teen club (16+, and I do know that they have them), with Shai, Kev, Howie and Kim. A.C. wasn't old enough, so Brian stayed and hung out with her. He thought that she was pretty cool for a 14 year-old. They watched Bean, and then Brian went to get some Cokes, while A.C. used the bathroom.
He just sat down on the couch when she called for him. "Brian?"
He walked over to the bathroom. "Yeah?"
"I know this is really weird to ask you of all people, but do you have any Kotex?"
Brian was taken aback at this. "Do I?"
"OK. Good. Um, can you run over to Morgan's and grab me some? The keys are in my coat pocket, and the bathroom's off the kitchen. Could you do that please?"
Brian was still confused. "Kotex?"
"Oh God, maxi pads." she explained.
"Oh. Yeah, I'll be right back."
* * * *
Morgan got back with AJ just as Brian got to her apartment. "Hey!" she called out the window. "What are you doing?"
"I'm getting. . . oh I'll tell ya later!"
* * * *
Morgan was going to go to the bathroom but the door was locked. "Hello?" she asked. "Is anyone in there?"
"Yeah, A.C."
"Sorry. Why is Brian in my apartment?"
"Oh god. He can explain. I just want to go to bed."
"OK"
Brian got back and passed the Kotex to A.C. She got out of the bathroom and laid down in Brian's room. "What was that all about?" Morgan asked.
"Why would I be using Kotex?" Brian countered.
"Oh. Poor A.C. This is her first time. And she was with you." Morgan sympathized, disgusted. "Maybe she oughtta stay here," AJ stated. "She's pretty out of it."
"Maybe." Morgan pondered. "If you guys don't mind."
"Nah, she's a great kid." Brian stated.
"OOHH! Brian's got a crush on the 'new' lady!" AJ teased.
"No, I don't. I just feel sorry for her. I heard that it feels like you've got pliers in your pants."
Morgan laughed. "Well, I gotta go. If she wakes up, give her some PJ's of some sorts. Oh and Brian?"
"Yeah?" he asked.
"It doesn't feel like pliers, it's worse."
"Oh, ha ha ha." he said to her. She laughed as she walked out the door. He turned to AJ. "Now I really feel sorry for the kid." AJ laughed and shook his head as Brian gave A.C. pair of his sweatpants and a T-shirt.
