"Cam...!!! Cam..!!! CAMMMMMMMM!!!!!," Mary
yells. Almost falling out of her lounge chair Cam quickly straightens up and asks, "what. What's wrong, and why
are you yelling at me?" Mary crossed her arms across her chest and tapped her foot impatiently and said, "I was calling
you for like almost half an hour and you were just staring at nothing."
"So what did you want," Cam asked while turning her head to up at the sky again.
"CAM!!!! You're doing it again! You're letting me talk and talk, but you weren't even listening
to what I was saying," Mary told her angrily.
Seeing that Mary wasn't going to let her go back to staring at the
sky, Cam looked at her innocently and said, "okay, that's just not true. I was listening to you."
Raising an eyebrow at Cam's claim of innocence, Mary said, "Really. So tell me then what was
the last thing I told you?"
"Umm the last thing you were talking about was...a trip. Yeah
you were talking about taking a trip to meet Colin and Jason," Cam said confident that she got it right.
"And," Mary ask waiting for her to keep talking.
'What the hell did she say when I wasn't paying attention,' Cam thought to herself. 'Crap
I might as well admit otherwise she'll make me sit here the rest of day trying to figure it out. Turning back to Mary,
she said, Okay I wasn't paying attention. Is that what you wanted to hear?"
Mary smiled at her smugly, and replied, "yes thank you hun.
Now was that so hard to admit that I was right and you were wrong? Now tell me what you were thinking about."
Cam looked back at the sky and sighed knowing that it was going to be a long trip.
********2 Days Later****************
Los Angeles, California (at the airport)
Cam shooked her head at the sight before her, and looked at the ceiling silently praying that the
day couldn't get any worst. She looked back over to the metal dectators when they went off for a third time as Mary
went through it. 'How many JB buttons does the woman own,' she thought to herself. Watching as Mary pulled off
more buttons, she thought to herself, 'apparently enough for us to get stop at customs twice.' Finally after one more
walk through the metal dectators security was satisfied Mary didn't have anything harmful just a ton of JB buttons.
Cam walked over to Mary and helped her with her luggage and buttons. Mary still a little angry that she had been stopped
by security twice in two different countries because of her Jason Behr buttons was muttering that "I know that security lady
took a few of my buttons. I'm reporting her to her supervisors for taking off with my JB buttons." Cam quickly
seeing that Mary was getting worked up started dragging Mary out of the airport before Mary could turn back around and go
looking for the rest of her buttons. 'How the heck she knows if she's missing buttons out of all those is beyond me,'
Cam thought to herself. Pushing open the door that would lead them outside the two looked around when they heard their
names called. A tall guy moved in front of them blocking their view. Cam being her paranoid self started reaching
for her pepper spray when the guy removed his shades and she saw that it was Ed.
"Ed, is that you," Mary asked.
Smiling at the two girls, he said, "yeah it's me. How are my two lovely girls doing today?
It's great to see you two." He leaned down and grabbed the two girls in a big tight
bear hug.
"Ed! Ed! I can't breathe," Mary gasped trying to get some air.
He quickly let the two girls go with a look of chargain on his face. "Oh I'm so
sorry. I was just so happy to finally meet the two of you," he sobbed.
Seeing the chargained look on his face she told him, "Ed sweetie don't cry. It's okay, so
please calm down." She reached up and gave him a quick hug. Looking over his shoulder she sees that Cam is
turning blue. She let go of Ed and rushes over to check on Cam.
"Oh my God! Cam, you have to listen to me okay. Cam!!! Can you hear me?"
Mary puts her hands on Cam's shoulders and looks her straight in the face. Seeing that she
had Cam's attention, she tells her, "Now look at me. Good girl, now breathe. In and out. That's right, in
and out. Come on you're doing a good job."
"Mary, what's wrong with her," Ed asks while wiping his tears away. He moves over to
help Mary with Cam, and Mary explains what's wrong with Cam. "Oh well, Cam has this problem or rather an
illness. She has a personality paronic distress."
Looking confused Ed asks, "a what."
"It's a disease in which she tends to get all paranoid when strong emotions overwhelm her, and it
stresses her in a way that she has a hard time breathing."
"But she looks really bad. Maybe we should take her to a hospital or something. I mean
what if she dies or something. She can' die now not when I just met the two of you."
Mary seeing that Ed was going into full blown panic told him, "Okay you need to calm down.
I know what I'm doing so please just calm down."
She turns back to look at Cam and sees that she no longer is blue, and that she is getting her color
back. "Okay Cam, you're doing great. Just don't pass out on me now. That's right you can do it. Rember
breathe in and out slowly. You're doing great hun."
Cam continues doing the breathing execrises and after a few minutes she calms down enough to talk.
"Mary," Cam whispers to her.
"Yeah huh?"
"I feel like I'm going to..." She doesn't even finish her sentence when she just passes out almost
hitting her head except that Big Ed caught her in his arms.
"Oh thank you Ed. Now we need to get her to your place so she can get some rest," Mary sighs.
Taking a deep breath she turns around to get their stuff, and she turns back to face Ed and a now snoring Cam in his arms.
"Oh yeah this is going to be a fun trip. WELCOME TO LA," Mary says saracastically to herself.
