Jole grinned gratefully at Perry before turning back to Abby.
"Oh, you think so? It's a brand new aftershave, really expensive... I just picked it up yesterday," he answered, smiling happily.
I got it because I knew I'd see you.
His head turned sharply to the jukebox in the corner. "Natasha B?" he joked, striding over to the juke. "Quite upbeat, but I think we're ready for something a little more familiar..." He bent over the juke. "Let's liven this place up a bit," he muttered, selecting one of his own songs.
((Okay, that's a bit better >.<))

Charlie came in, tackling Jole because he was the first one she came across. "They accepted it!" She squealed excitedly.
"Congrats!" Perry grinned.

Abby smirked as she noticed the song playing. Jokingly she shook her head. "I hate this song." She said and looked at Jole. When he looked at her she smiled and put her hands up. "Just kidding!" She smiled. "Only a joke." Abby sipped her coffee and smiled. "Ah, just like I remembered it."

Jole tried to make his way back to Abby, but was jumped by a squealing Charlie rushing through the door.
"They accepted it!" she shouted, her eyes bright with joy.
"They did?" answered Jole, a huge grin slowly growing on his face. "Charlie, that's amazing! Oh, well done, well done, well done!" He scooped her up in his arms and swung her around, laughing.

Charlie giggled, clutching the letter in her hands. There wasn't much to say, she was happy! She got her book accepted, going to be published that fall, and she was in the arms of-
Wait, in the arms of? What difference did it make who's arms she was in?

Still smiling joyously, Jole opened his eyes and saw Abby looking at the pair, a curious smile on her face. He quickly set Charlie down and approched Abby.
"Charlie sent a book to a publisher, did she tell you?" he beamed at her. "I always knew they'd accept it, I told her so..."

Abby shook her head. She would have jumped up and down but she still had the coffee in her hands. "Congratulations! Dibs on making the cover!" She yelled excitedly.

Charlie was still dancing, she grabbed Daichi's hands and danced with him.

Jole turned back to Charlie and laughed, watching her dance manically with a very bemused and red-faced Daichi.
"You know what this means, guys," he said excitedly, looking at Charlie and Abby expectantly. Abby looked at him curiously.
"Party!"

Charlie nodded, grinning. "Yup!" She stopped dancing with Daichi, who went back to his pie, dizzy.

Abby laughed. "Don't forget the keg." She joked. "The keg is very important." She watched Charlie dance. She seemed to be dancing on air. "Charlie, I think you should call your boy toy and tell him the good news. I'm sure he will be thrilled."

"Billy! I forgot!" She ran towards the nearest phone. She really did forget. It seemed too much like the old days, before him. How was she supposed to remember her boyfriend in a time of reunion with friends.
"Hey! I was accepted?"
"Oh, hey Charlie." Billy's voice crackled over the phone. "Hey, can we meet up tonight?"
"Of course." She looked out the window. "Where?"
"Oh, just the Waffle House."
"HUH?" she near dropped the phone. He'd rather eat at the Waffle House?
He chuckled. "See you." And then there was the dial tone.

At the mention of Billy, Jole's smile finally faultered. As his spirits slipped, he suddenly noticed the old battered clock ticking away on the wall.
"DAMN! Is that the time?!" he gasped, his eyes wide with panic. "My parents will have been home hours! Mum'll be going mental by now! Honestly, she'll think I've been kidnapped..."
He turned to the two girls. "Listen, I've got to dash," he said urgently, "I'll be back tomorrow, and we'll go out and buy some balloons for the big bash." He gave Charlie a wink, and then pulled them both into a hug.
"It's good to be back," he said quietly, and he smiled contentedly. He kissed each of the girls on the cheek and burst noisily out of the Waffle House, leaving the door swinging open and several testy customers muttering in his wake.
((Off to bed, goodnight guys! ^^))

Abby watched Charlie while she told Billy the good news. She smiled at how happy her friend was. That is until she dropped the phone. Abby put down her coffee and ran to Charlie. She walked in front of her so she could see Charlie's face. "Are you ok? What's wrong? Did he cheat on you because if he did I will cut off his groin."
