Sabrina walks into the office, she is not happy. Miguel turns and looks at her with great concern.

Sabrina: The bathroom has NO toilet paper. [sits down grimacing] DON'T ask me how I know.

Miguel: [tries not to giggle hands her a box of tissues] Tissue?

Sabrina:[glares at him] A little too late for that.. thank you.

Miguel: Okay.. hope you at least washed your hands.

Sabrina: Yes. [lowers her head then turns towards him] Miguel, the girls are being impossible!!

Miguel:[turns and looks at her] More so than ever?

Sabrina: YES!! This is just one of many pranks they have played on me in the past few days.

Miguel:[smiles] Oh it's just Delia and the others girls making you one of us, you ARE the rookie after all.

Sabrina: [turns and crosses her legs] Miguel? Why do you call Funky, Delia?

Miguel:[turns to face her] Cause.. it's her name.. Delia Juarez. DJ Feline Funky is just her stage name, or what we call her. She's my best friend.. known her since we were small. So I'm the only one who calls her Delia.

Sabrina: [smiles] Oh.. I see. What about Groovy?

Miguel: No that's her name.. it's kind of a play on a title of a song.. you know… that song by Loving Spoonful.. Feeling Groovy.

Sabrina: [laughs] Oh.. that's good.

Miguel: Anyway.. if you want.. I'll talk to the girls so they will stop picking on you.

Sabrina; No.. that's okay.[gets up] I understand.. I'm just being inducted.. I think I can talk to them and we can settle things like mature women.[walks out]

Miguel goes back to work when he hears Sabrina scream. She walks back in soaked. Miguel looks at her rather concerned.

Sabrina: I was wrong.. I just came back for this chair!![picks it up over her head and heads out]

Miguel: [takes the chair from her] Now Ms. Sabrina.. I don't want any bloodshed.

Sabrina: [takes a deep breath] Miguel.. I like you.. a lot.. so I'm giving you a chance to get out before I slaughter everyone in the building.

Miguel: Come on now.[hands her a towel] This isn't you.. and you know it.

Sabrina;[shoulders droop] Sigh. [takes the towel and dries her hair] Thanks.

Miguel: [takes her glasses and dries them with his shirt] You're welcome.

Sabrina: [dries her self as she looks at him] Got anything I can wear?

Miguel: Not that you'd slap me for later.[smiles]

Sabrina: As long as it's not Funky's or Groovy's outfits.. I'm happy.

Miguel: [takes off his Chinese shirt and hands it to her] Wait a sec.

Miguel goes into his backpack and pulls out a pair of Chinese pants. He throws them to her and she catches them.

Miguel: I just wear the shirts.. I only wear one pair but as PJs.. so you can wear that.. they have draw strings so they'll fit you.

Sabrina: K.

Miguel: [leaves the office and closes the door behind him. he stands guard at the door] Whew.

Decadence: Bet you want to sneak a peek so bad.

Next to him is a cobalt-blue cat, rather feral looking. She has on a T-shirt and jeans and a trench coat. Her claws are rather long as well. She grins wickedly at him.

Miguel: No.

Decadence: Come off it, I know deep down inside.. you wish you could be in there watching everything. Seeing her peel her wet clothes off of that rather curvy body of hers.

Miguel:[turning red] Not.. true.

Scene goes down the hall to the boarded up door. The door starts to buckle and the boards creak as if under great strain.

Decadence: Oh my.. it seems Cain says different. Why don't you give in.. if you don't.. he'll break out.. and you don't want that do you?

Miguel: [stares at Decadence] You want me to give in to him.. my dark side? I'd be more than happy to.

Decadence: [gets frightened then glares at him] You wouldn't dare!

Miguel: Maybe I would… Sabrina does not know about Cain.. or any thing else behind that door.. and I'll do anything to keep it that way. Now behave yourself, or you'll find yourself locked behind that door as well.

Decadence: [laughs] Well now.. about time you grew a spine. Hmm hear that.. Cain has stopped.. what did you do?

Miguel: I stopped letting my feelings build up, I vented my rage.. on you. Thanks.

Decadence: [eyes narrow] Don't insult me. I'd never help you.

Just then Sabrina opens the door and steps out of the office. She is wearing the shirt and pants, which fit her a bit big.

Decadence: Well now, fresh meat.

Sabrina: [gets behind Miguel] That's Decadence isn't it?

Miguel: Yes..[grabs Decadence by the arm] And she was just leaving.[leads her down the hall and shoves her into a room] Make her feel comfortable will you ladies?

Funky:[popping her knuckles] My pleasure.

Groovy: You bet!!!

Miguel heads back to the office. Sabrina pokes her head out and sees him approaching. He smiles at her and she smiles back at him.

Sabrina: Is she gone?

Miguel: Yes.. she's gone. [looks her up and down]

Sabrina: [plays with her hair]What?

Miguel: Nothing.. you just look incredibly cute.[smiles]

Sabrina: [blushes] I feel like I shrank in the wash.

Miguel: Nonsense.. you look nice. [smiles at her] May I have your clothes?

Sabrina: I don't know[looks at him] I just know I'll find you wearing them.

Miguel: [looks at her] Right…. I'm just going to go dry your clothes geez.

Sabrina: Okay.. [hands him a pile of wet clothes] Sorry to disappoint you but I kept my under things.[eyes him]

Miguel:[glares at her] Oh like I wanted to see them.[walks out and makes a face] Rats.

Later, Sabrina in her clothes once again. [for those of you just joining us.. NO she was NOT nude just now] Blake enters and waves at her. Sabrina looks at him and turns to hug him.

Blake: Is he working you like a dog again?

Sabrina: No, he's been good to me lately. I'm just about finished okay. [goes back to work]

Blake: So.. where is the old ghoul anyway?

Miguel:[pops up suddenly and holds a mirror to Blake's face] Right there I'd say.

Sabrina: [laughs] Sorry Miguel, he walked again I promise he'll be good. Can he stay?

Miguel: I don't know[thinks] is he house broken?

Sabrina:[looks at him] Miguel?!

Blake: You do know I'm standing right here?

Miguel: Yeah..[pats him on the back] But I try not to let bad news get to me nowadays.

Sabrina:[laughs] Okay enough. See I'm done.[gets out of her chair] I'll see you tomorrow, okay boss.

Miguel: [makes a face] I hate it when you call me that.

Sabrina: [makes a face at him] Now you know how I feel when you call ME Ms. Sabrina.

Blake: I hate to interrupt, but we have a party to get ready for. Remember gorgeous?

Sabrina: Oh that's right?[slaps her head] I really don't want to go.[puts her jacket on] It's just your stuffy friends.. [picks her head up] HEY Miguel wanna come?

Miguel: Um.. I'm not much of a party person.

Sabrina:[gets closer to him] Please.. I'd feel better if I had someone to talk to there.

Blake: What about me?

Sabrina:[glares at him] Yeah right you go off and talk with your friends, like that mixer you took me too, you spent all night talking to your boss, then there was that lunch-in, you ditched and went to go talk to those guys from that corporation you were doing business with. And then there was…

Blake: Okay okay.. but.. he doesn't have a date.. he needs one if he wants to..

Funky:[pokes her head in] He's got one. I'll consider it my duty to liven up all those stuff shirts at that party.

Sabrina: Great.. [write directions on a paper] See you there. [goes off with Blake]

Miguel: You sure.. that's the only reason you're going there Delia? [raises an eyebrow at her]

Funky:[giggles] Well who's to say Blake does go off and talk to other people, what if someone made sure he does.. and you had a chance to talk to Sabrina.. say.. all night?

Miguel: [gives Funky a hug] Thanks Delia, you're my best friend.

Funky: [winks at him] And don't you forget it.

Miguel: Can you please lay off of Sabrina with your pranks?

Funky: I did a long time ago.. just [eyes open wide] SHOOT, I FORGOT TO TELL THE OTHER GIRLS TO STOP!!!! Um be right back[runs off]

Miguel: Crazy girl.[shakes his head]

And so at the party, Sabrina is sitting in a corner grumbling as she glares at Blake talking to other people only HE knows. Suddenly there's a knock at door and Miguel and Funky are let in. Funky goes off on her own, getting stares from the people as she is in her DJ outfit consisting of her blue shirt and skirt, matching platform boots, and her orange vest. Sabrina waves to Miguel and he walks over to her.

Miguel: Left you to your own devices I see. [looks over at Blake]

Sabrina: Sigh. Yeah, I really hate him at these things. I ask him.. PLEASE not to.. but he does it to me every time. [drinks a clear beverage] I just hate it!!! [takes another from a waiter who passes by]

Miguel: Oh cheer up, look what my date did.[points to Funky who is flirting with all the guys]

Sabrina: [shakes her head] What a ham.. you should see her at the club. [chugs the drink] Mm this is good. [raises her hand] Hey.. can I have another over here?

Miguel: Um.. I take it.. this is really bothering you?

Sabrina: YES!!! I don't fit in with these people. Blake works with a company that's working with a new type of media.

Miguel: What's wrong with 1 gigabyte disks?

Sabrina: I haven't a clue.[takes another glasses and drinks] Anyway… he's off talking to people left and right.. about this new mini DVD disk. [shakes her head] It will just be replaced later like everything else. [looks at her empty glass] Shoot.. this lemon-lime cola doesn't last long.

Miguel: Tough luck for him.. I hear Nintendo has the only rights to it as far as entertainment systems go.

Sabrina: [gets in his face] Shut up!! I don't wanna hear it!! [almost falls]

Miguel: [Looks at her] Ms. Sabrina… what were you drinking?

Sabrina: [looks at him.. her face kind of pink] Lemon-lime soda.. very yummy.

Miguel:[sniffs her glass] Um.. [tastes a bit] Ms. Sabrina.. this is Zima.. it's alcohol.

Sabrina: Huh? Doesn't taste like it..[laughs and falls out of her chair]

Miguel: Hooboy. How many have you had? [helps her up]

Sabrina: [counts then holds up 4 fingers] 6..I think.

Miguel: That's what I figured. Listen Ms. Sabrina.. you better..

Sabrina:[stands up] HEY YOU!!! [wobbles] Don't call me Ms. Sabrina!! You make me sound older than I am.. I'll have you know.. I'm only.. [falls but Miguel catches her]

Miguel: Please sit down.. just sit down.. you'll be safer.

Sabrina: Okay Miguel.. you're worrying over me, that's so thweet.. I me.. tho sweet. [giggles]

Miguel: Oh great.. you've turned into Tabitha.

Sabrina:[rests her head on Miguel's shoulder] Sigh. Thanks for coming Miguel.

Miguel:[trembles like crazy then slips to the other side of the sofa] That's okay Ms. Sabrina.

Sabrina:[crawls towards him] Hey.. don't leave me.[lays down on the sofa, resting her head on his lap] There, now stay.[points at him and nearly pokes him in the eye]

Miguel:[sweating like crazy] I think I need a drink now.

Sabrina: You don't drink Miguel. Boy is it warm in here.

Miguel: Yeah…. I have to agree on that. [suddenly breaks free as Sabrina's head falls on the sofa] Sorry Ms. Sabrina.

Sabrina:[gets up] Hey.. I told you not to move!!

Sabrina wobbles over and knocks over a waiter, He stumbles into a crowd of people and knocks them down as well. Sabrina watches this then breaks out into a fit of laughter. Miguel sits her down again. Blake comes over towards them.

Blake: What the heck is wrong with her?

Miguel: Nothing.. had you been with her.[glares at him]

Blake: Oh my god.. is she drunk?

Sabrina: [stands up] NO!! I'm.. ooo got up too fast..[falls back into the sofa]

Miguel: [sits her up] You okay Ms. Sabrina?

Blake: Well this is the perfect end to a perfect night. I'll take her home. [picks her up and rest her on his shoulder] You're coming home with me.

Miguel: HEY!! You should take her to HER home.. not yours.

Blake: HEY!![glares at him] Where I take her is MY business… so butt out!!!

Miguel: [grabs Blake by an arm and twists it] A gentleman, would take her to her place..[he throws him and he falls to the ground] I don't trust you Blake.. not at your place anyway. [quickly takes Sabrina and throws her over his shoulder] I'll take her to HER place.

Blake:[gets up] HEY YOU!!!

Blake goes after them but a platform boot trips him and he falls flat on his face. He gets up and sees them gone. He glares at Funky and she glares back.

Funky: I was leaving anyway.. this party is dead. [walks off]

Sabrina: [over Miguel's shoulder] Hey.. is this what they call "hindsight"? I can see everything behind you.[bursts out laughing]

Miguel: Hooboy.. [looks at her rear end next to his face] Under normal circumstances I would never have THIS end of a skunk near me. [flips her around and carries her instead]

Sabrina: Careful!!! [giggles] Are you taking me home?

Miguel; [smiles] Well yes and no. I'm taking you home.. so you can sleep this off.. safe in your bed. At least there I know.. nothing bad can happen to you.

Sabrina;[rests her head on his chest] You're a sweet guy Miguel. If I could think.. I'd come up with a way to thank you.

Miguel: [turns red] No thanks necessary Ms. Sabrina.. just looking out for you.

Miguel finally makes it to Sabrina's apartment. He places her in bed.. or rather tries to but he falls and lands on top of her.

Sabrina;[looks at him] Well you're kinda brave now aren't you?

Miguel:[in a flash to his feet] NO!! It wasn't anything like that Ms. Sabrina!!!

Sabrina: [After a few attempts sits up] HEEEEEEY! Don't worry, you're not in trouble?[face rather pink]

Miguel: Um.. I'm not?

Sabrina: Nope.[grabs him by his shirt and throws him on the bed. She gets to her feet in front of him] You stay right.. there.[presses her finger to his nose]

Miguel starts sweating up a storm as he sees Sabrina smile at him then pull her shirt up. She turns around with her back to him and looks back at him with a wicked smile.

Sabrina: Can you guess what color bra I have on? [Miguel, red-faced shakes his head like mad. She giggles and turns as she takes off her shirt] SEEE?! It's whi….. HEY!![looks at him and sees he has his eyes covered] You can't do that..[wobbles and uncovers his eyes]

Miguel: [Sees. And turns very red] Oh my… [begins to tremble like mad]

Sabrina: [giggles] You like?

Miguel:[very weak] Yes.

Sabrina: Thought so.

Sabrina flops down on top of him and plants a long kiss on Miguel on the lips. Miguel closes his eyes and sighs. Then his eyes open very wide and pushes her off.

Sabrina:[rolls over on the bed] HEY!!

Miguel:[bows sweating bullets] I'm sorry I can't Ms. Sabrina.. not like this. You're drunk and not in the right mind right now, you may not even want to sleep with me. I can't.. I love and respect you too much to do this.. like this. I'm sorry I cannot.. please forgive me Ms….. [opens his eyes and sees she is fast asleep] Thank god.[flops down on the ground] That was close.[looks at the reader] WHAT?! I'm a guy yeah, but I'm not a monster. I just couldn't do it this way.. it be taking advantage.. and any guy who TRULY loves a gal.. would wait till she does this of her own free will and is very much sober. [stands up and looks at her] Oh, Ms. Sabrina.[strokes her face] I love you, and I would never do anything to hurt you.

Miguel's eyes open wide as he notices, she is still without a shirt. He looks at her bra for a while then slaps himself across the head. He tries to put her shirt back on.

Miguel:[notices it is on backwards] Aw shoot close enough. [tucks her into bed then places a kiss gently on her forehead] Good night Ms. Sabrina. [walks off still looking at her] Now to get home without any incident. [turns and slams into the doorway] or.. I could just pas out here on the floor. [falls down]

The following morning Sabrina wakes up with a major hangover. She tries to focus her eyes. She sees someone there, she reaches for her glasses and puts them on. It's Miguel smiling, he hands her a cup of coffee.

Sabrina: Mi..Miguel?

Miguel: Morning sweetie..[smiles wickedly] you were wonderful that night.

Sabrina:[eyes open wide] OH MY GOD NO!!! You.. you mean.. you and..ooooo[holds her head].. you and me..

Miguel: Oh it was wonderful.. [clasps his hands together] The earth moved.. the angels in heaven wept.. and you.. I had no idea you were so flexible and limber.

Sabrina:[glares at him] Now I KNOW you're lying.[takes the cup and drinks from it] Thanks for the coffee. [she looks at him and sees a huge lump on his forehead] What.. happened?

Miguel: Um well…

Sabrina:[looks at her shirt] And why is my shirt backwards?!

Miguel: [lowers his head] Ms. Sabrina.. I took you home from the party last night.. you got drunk and well.. Blake was taking you to HIS place. I wouldn't hear of it.. so I took you here to YOUR place.. nothing happened.. even thought.. it almost did.. but I did nothing nor did I try to. I bumped my head trying to sneak out and well I woke up an hour ago.

Sabrina:[looks at him] You.. took care of me?[Miguel nods. Sabrina smiles] I believe you Miguel, I know for sure.. I can trust you. You're a sweet guy, and I know you wouldn't..[almost falls over] God I feel sick.

Miguel: [unfolds his shirt on her bed] I have a headache just as bad. [touches his bump]

Amy: Do I want to even know what happened?

Both turn and sees Amy standing at the door way. She's leaning against the wall with her arms crossed and is giving Miguel a look that could kill him dead in his tracks.

Sabrina: Amy?! Um..

Miguel: Who is she?[sweating]

Amy: I'm Amy.. I'm Sabrina's roommate. And you are?

Sabrina: Amy..[gets up] he.. ooooo [falls back but Miguel catches her]

Miguel: Easy Ms. Sabrina.

Sabrina: [looks back at him] Thanks.[looks at Amy] Amy.. nothing happened.

Amy: Sure.. then why is your shirt on her bed.. not to mention your shirt is backwards.

Sabrina; Aw shoot![pulls her arms in and turns it around]

Miguel: [sweating] Nothing happened Ms. Amy!! I swear.. I did nothing!! Ms. Sabrina got drunk at the party so I brought her here safely.. and put her to bed!! And that's all I respect Ms. Sabrina too much to try anything.

Amy: [looks at him then smiles. Then she looks past him at Sabrina] You're right about him, he's just so cute and sweet. [looks at him] Okay I believe you, Miguel right?

Miguel:[nods] Yes Ms. Amy.

Amy: Heh. No need for the Ms. part.. Amy will do fine.

Sabrina: [turns green the gets up ] OUT OF THE WAY!!! [grabbing her stomach and covering her mouth she dashes off to the bathroom]

Miguel: Um.. is she okay?

Amy: [closes the bathroom door for Sabrina] yeah.. but I doubt she'll be drinking again for a LONG time. [looks at his forehead] Let me get you something for that.

Miguel looks at the bathroom door as Amy heads for the kitchen. He strokes the door and sighs. He then heads for the kitchen after Amy.

Miguel:[sits at the table] I hope she feels better.

Amy: She will. Here. [places a bag of frozen peas on his forehead] Much better for you than steak. [smiles]

Miguel: Thanks Ms. Amy. [closes his eyes]

Amy: [leans against the table] I take it you made coffee?

Miguel: [opens on eyes] Yeah, I made it for Ms. Sabrina, there's plenty more.

Amy: Thanks. Blake left about 16 messages on the machine last night. I take it this is why?

Miguel: Yes.. he wanted to take her to his place, I didn't like the sound of that.

Amy: So you brought her here? [smiles] Boy you are a noble one aren't you Miguel?

Miguel: Too much for my own good I always say. [rests his head in his hand]

Amy: [puts her hand on his shoulder] I want to thank you for watching out for Sabrina, and I want to apologize for thinking badly of you.

Miguel: No problem Ms. Amy, you're just looking out for your friend. I would have done the same.

Amy: [smiles] Too bad I already have a boyfriend, or I'd ask if you had a brother.

Miguel: [smiles back] Good thing you do, cause my brother Matt is in Preschool.

The door opens to the bathroom and Sabrina walks out. She looks groggy as she stumbles towards the table. She sits down and lays her head down on the table.

Sabrina; I feel awful. I puked up stuff I ate back in 86.

Miguel: [takes the pack of frozen peas off of his forehead and place sit on hers] Here this will help.

Sabrina;[closes her eyes] Ahh thanks.

Amy: If Blake asks.. I'll tell him I didn't see Miguel.

Both:[look up at her] Thanks.

Amy: No problem.. so who wants breakfast?

Sabrina: NO!! Not food!![runs back to the bathroom again]

Miguel: That was mean[glares at Amy]

Amy: [watches the door slam to the bathroom] Yeah.. [wicked grin] But she needs to learn a lesson from this.

Miguel:[gets up] Ms. Amy.. thank you for your hospitality. I must go now, please tell Ms. Sabrina she can stay home today.

Amy: Will do.

Amy walks Miguel out. He waves as he walks off. She smiles and watches him walks out of sight. She closes the door and walks back in and sees Sabrina with her head down on the table again.

Sabrina; Did he leave?

Amy: Yeah. [sits down next to him] You know, you got a sweet guy there. If I were you..

Sabrina;[lifts her head] And you're not.

Amy: Fine. But.. where else are you going to find a guy who will take care of you like that?

Sabrina: Sigh. Blake's gonna kill me.

Amy:[gets up from the table] Not if I kill him first. I'd go back to bed if I were you. Your boss, gave you a day off.

Sabrina: [smiles] That was sweet of him.

Sabrina gets up and wobbles off to bed. Amy watches her and shakes her head. She goes to the answering machine and erases all of Blake's messages. She smiles and walks off. Later in the afternoon, Sabrina walks out of the bathroom drying her hair. She sits at the table where Amy is eating a sandwich.

Sabrina: I feel a little better after that hot shower.

Amy: Ready for food yet?

Sabrina:[gags] Um.. I'll wait a bit longer.

Amy: Good cause I'm eating the last of our food. And..[smiles at her] it is YOUR turn to go grocery shopping.

Sabrina: [lays her head on the table] Fine ..sure.. I'll do it in a bit.. right now.. me head is spinning.

Amy: Well that will teach you not to drink so much.

Sabrina: I didn't know.. I thought it was soda.

Amy: Man..[crosses her arms] even I can come up with a better excuse.[turns and looks at the readers] I hope you kids are paying attention, we're showing you the evils of alcohol. Sure it makes you look cool and such.. but in the end.. you're only hurting yourself.

Sabrina:[stares at her] How much are they paying you to say that?

Amy: Well let's just say I won't be here next week cause me and Thomas will be at Aruba!!

Sabrina; [eyes narrow] Shameful.

Amy: Sez you.. I'm doing it for a better tomorrow and cause I long to walk on the sunny sandy beaches of a tropical climate in a swimsuit with my best guy.

Sabrina: Must be nice.[picks her head up] Speaking of best guys.. has Blake called?

Amy:[looks away] Nope. And I said BEST guys.

Sabrina: Will you get off of it?! [places her hand on her forehead]

Amy: Sorry, but right now.. I'm rooting for the underdog.. as it seems he's the best choice right now. [chews her sandwich]

Sabrina: Miguel is NOT an option okay.. [lays her head back down] So just drop it.

Amy: Well I mean is it THAT bad. So the guy isn't like cover of sexiest man alive material... but he has his perks.

Sabrina: Then you take him.

Amy: Sorry I'm spoken for. However, tell me at 5 good reasons why Miguel isn't the best choice.

Sabrina: Okay[lifts her head up] One… he's my boss.

Amy: LAME!! Don't you watch TV.. it happens all the time.

Sabrina: That's TV with is real life.

Amy:[looks at the reader] Should I tell her? [looks back at Sabrina] Continue.[finishes her sandwich]

Sabrina: Two… [silent] I'll get back to it. Three…[silent].. sigh can I just get away with one reason.

Amy: No.

Sabrina: AHA!!! OW!![grabs her head] Okay I got one.. he's a jerk sometimes.

Amy: The judges want an explanation.

Sabrina: Well he picks on Amigas all the time, and he has this obsession with ripping my Silverbolt asunder. Heh but I like telling him off.. yeah..[lays her head down again and sighs] Our battles seem legendary.

Amy:[smiles] Seems like you enjoy it there Sabrina.

Sabrina:[face turns red and she picks her head up again] Um.. no.

Amy: Sorry, that one doesn't count. Besides I'd like to bring up.. that ditching you at a party where you know no one .. even AFTER to ask him not to. That's a real jerk.. and no where near what Miguel does.

Sabrina: Sigh. Okay.. you got me there. Have you got reasons as to why I should?

Amy: I'm glad you asked.[pulls out a list from under the table]

Sabrina: Where'd you get that?

Amy: The writer gave it to me to speed things up. Okay, One.. any guy who has a chance to sleep with you.. and doesn't.. IS worth at least a thought. Not many guys would do that..and you know that.

Sabrina: Yeah.. okay.

Amy: Two.. he's really sweet and shy. Kinda cute if you ask me.

Sabrina: And I didn't.

Amy:[glares at her] ANYway… three.. he seems to be able to handle Tabitha… the fact that he will baby-sit her and not complain earns him the chance.. that and he deserves a purple heart just for doing that.

Sabrina: Go on.[closes her eyes]

Amy: well I could go on for days.. but I will finish with this one..you have the hots for him but you don't seem to be aware of it.

Sabrina: [picks her head up] I DO NOT!!! OW!!!![grabs her head] Don't make me do that again!!!

Amy: It's true Sabrina, I hear you talk about Miguel more than you do Blaine.. I mean Blake. (geez that joke's getting old fast)

Sabrina: Amy….. Miguel show no interest in me anyway. Sometimes I think he does.. then he gets all quiet and pushes me away.

Amy: maybe he's just scared…he's just been hurt before.. and acting distant around the one he cares for is just a way of for him ..in his mind to keep from getting hurt again.

Sabrina: [crosses her arms and looks at her] And you know this for a fact?

Amy: Yes I do.. I was there.. and the reason I'm suddenly sticking up for the guy is cause… I feel his pain.[gets up] Believe me.. you two could be good for each other. Just give him a chance.[pats her on the shoulder then leaves]

Sabrina: I'm not falling for him.. so it doesn't make any difference. Besides I have Blake. Aw shoot I should call him.[gets up slowly and walks over to the phone]

Amy:[looks at the reader] I know.. but what can I do? She'll just have to figure this one out on her own.

Meanwhile Miguel is at the office trying to write. He sits with his head on the desk tapping one key at a time. Funky watches him then walks in and places her hand on his back.

Funky: You okay Miguel?

Miguel:[looks up at her] Yeah, I guess.

Funky: This has nothing to do with that bump on your forehead does it?

Miguel sits back in his chair, removes his glasses and rubs his eyes. Funky leans against the desk with her arms crossed and waits for a reply.

Miguel: Something happened last night.

Funky: What? [wicked smile] Did you and Sabrina go to bed together?

Miguel: Falls out of his chair] I didn't do anything!!!

Funky: [eyes open wide] OH MY GOD!!! You didn't?!

Miguel: [gets up] NO!! I mean… aw shoot.. I don't want to talk about it.

Funky takes him by the arm and drags him into the bathroom. She turns on all the sinks and throws him into a stall and enters after him.

Funky: Talk.. no one will hear.

Miguel: [sweating] Must we talk in here?

Funky: Miguel.. talk.. or I start stripping.[glares at him]

Miguel: Um okay well it almost happened that way. She was drunk and made a pass at me.. but I didn't do anything.. I swear.

Funky: And?

Miguel: She kissed me. [shoulders droop] It.. it felt sooo nice. I wanted it to last forever.

Funky:[smiles] Correct me if I'm wrong but.. that was your first kiss right? [Miguel nods] Heh, lucky you.

Miguel: But it came to me that she wasn't in her right mind so I pushed away.

Funky: Miguel?! [lifts an eyebrow]

Miguel: She had her shirt off for crying out loud!!! [covers his mouth]

Funky: Oh.. okay. Yeah you probably would panic and do something like that. But still you got a kiss.

Miguel: It wasn't what I wanted.. not like that. I .. I would rather she kiss me.. in her right mind.

Funky: [pats him on the shoulders] Well. I'm proud that you resisted temptation and didn't do the deed.

Miguel: Yeah.. so am I. I guess. Um can we get out of here now?

Funky: Sure.

Later Miguel and Funky are walking down the hall to his office. Funky's tail reaches over and takes Miguel's. She smiles at him.

Funky: No matter what, you know I'm always here for you.

Miguel: [smiles back] Yeah I know. Thanks Delia.
