The next morning, T.C. shut off the alarm and got
out of bed, wearing only his boxers. Rebecca watched
as T.C. dressed.
"All of that working out he does really pays off,"
Rebecca thought, she couldn't help but feel remorse
as he pulled on a shirt. Rebecca closed her eyes
and pretended to be asleep, hoping she could sleep
in. Neither one of them had gotten much sleep the
night before since Eve had packed her things to move
into the mansion and T.C. and Rebecca had gone to the
mansion for Rebecca's suitcases, which were still
piled around the living room. Rebecca tried to hit
the snooze button, but her hand was stopped by
T.C.'s, who pulled her into a kiss.

"I'm awake," Rebecca said sleepily, falling back
onto the pillow in exhaustion.

"I think you need another wake up call," T.C. said,
kissing Rebecca again.

"Are you sure we can't sleep in for a few more hours?"
Rebecca asked. T.C. smirked.

"A few more hours? Becky, I have to get to work, and
you're not going to get settled in if you're asleep
all day!" T.C. said.

"Alright," Rebecca said with a sigh. Rebecca grabbed
some makeup and headed towards the bathroom when
she ran into Liz, who was carrying a suitcase. The
suitcase came open and the contents emptied onto the
floor.

"Hey, watch it!" Liz said. Rebecca grabbed Liz's raised arm before it had a chance to slap.

"Front door's that way," Rebecca said, pointing down
the stairs. Liz started to repack her suitcase when
Rebecca saw some lingere fall out of Liz's hands.
"Oh, and if you know what's good for you, you'll wipe any plans you have of using this with T.C. from your
memory!" Rebecca said, throwing the slip at an outraged Liz.

"You bitch!" Liz said. Liz jumped up and started to
violently pull Rebecca's hair. Rebecca started to
choke Liz.

"Now where did I put that-" T.C. said, looking for
something in the bedroom when he heard screeches coming from the hallway. T.C. panicked when he heard
Liz's suitcase fall down the stairs, not sure what
it was. T.C.'s jaw dropped when he saw Liz and Rebecca
fighting. "Not this again," T.C. said. T.C. pulled
Rebecca and Liz apart. Liz struggled to breathe.
"What the hell happened out here?" T.C. exclaimed.

"She attacked me!" Rebecca said.

"You tried to choke me!" Liz said.

"You tried to rip out my hair- you psycho!" Rebecca
said.

"Me!? I'm the psycho one!?" Liz asked. "At least I
don't run around acting like this-" Liz tried to
copy Rebecca's smirks. "Oh pookey! Where's pookey!?"

"You- you-" Rebecca yelled. T.C. struggled to hold
Rebecca back from attacking Liz. Rebecca pointed down
the stairs. "The door is that way."

"You're not going to let her talk to me this way are
you?" Liz asked. T.C. put his arms around Rebecca, who
smirked at Liz.

"She is right, the door is that way," T.C. said, pointing towards the door.

"Oh!" Liz said angrilly, closing her suitcase. Liz
headed towards the door.

"You two haven't seen the last of me!" Liz said.

"Don't let the door hit you on your way out!" Rebecca
said, waving at Liz. T.C. and Rebecca high-fived as
Liz slammed the door and threw their arms around
each other.

"No more Liz!" Rebecca said. "I can't tell you how
glad I'll be not to have to see that cheshire cat
grin!"

"You and me both!" T.C. said, pulling Rebecca into
a kiss. T.C. caught sight of his watch. "Oh no, I'm
almost late for work!" T.C. said.

At Tabitha's house, Kay woke up Simone, still stunned
over news of the Russells divorce.

"Kay-" Simone said. "After last night, waking up is
the last thing I want to do."

"Oh, yes you do, Simone. I have a completely brilliant
plan." Kay said.

"Ok, I'm going to go back to sleep and hope when I
wake up that hearing you say that was a nightmare."
Simone said, laying back down. Kay woke her up
again.

"No, Simone, we'll go to L.A. and get revenge on your
sister." Kay said.

"What's in this for you?" Simone asked, suspicious
at Kay's eagerness.

"I'll take Maria Ivy with me, then I'll call Miguel
and let him know we're in Los Angeles- he'll be
forced to fly out here- I'll just tell him it was
a spurr of the moment spontaneous thing-" Kay said.

"Kay, you are dispicable!" Simone said.

"Do you honestly think that my mother would let me
go out to Los Angeles if I asked her?" Kay asked.

"No," Simone admitted.

"Then come on," Kay said. Kay pulled her lap top for
college out of her bag that Ivy had got her for the
purpose of making Grace mad to provoke her in front
of Sam.

"I can't believe you're actually accepting all of
these gifts," Simone said.

"You're the one who's going to get revenge on your
sister so I wouldn't go getting all self-righteous,"
Kay said.

"I'm not getting self-righteous, but I don't think you
should accept these gifts from Ivy." Simone said.

"Hey, its not my fault Ivy is the closest thing to
the mother I never had!" Kay said.

"Kay, you are dispicable." Simone said.

Kay sighed. "Well, do you want to let Whitney have
it or are you just going to let her get away with
going to L.A. and not keeping your parents marraige
from falling apart?" Kay asked.

"You're right, Kay," Simone said. "First, I have to
go home and pack my suitcase." Simone said. "But I
can't forget the most important thing."

"What's that?" Kay asked.

"Whitney's racket!" Simone said. "When I get to Los
Angeles, I am going to give her some of this!" Simone
pretended she had an invisible racket and wacked the
air, pretending she was hitting Whitney with it.

"Simone, I want to help you get your family back
together as much as you do but don't you think
you're being a little violent?" Kay asked.

"Violent? I'm not the one who used some kind of evil
to trick Miguel into bed by making him think he was
Charity." Simone said.

"Well, I'm not the one who believed Chad was my
boyfriend-" Kay said.

"Well, I'm not the one who is still chasing after
Miguel, am I?" Simone asked.

"Let's just drop it," Kay said. Kay and Simone headed
over to the Russel house, not knowing that Rebecca
was unpacking upstairs.

"Here it is," Simone said, a huge grin as she pulled
Whitney's racket out from the closet.

"Gee, why don't you take a few trophies to hurl
at her too?" Kay asked sarcastically. Simone
and Kay headed to Simone's room and packed
Simone's suitcases. Heading into the bathroom to
grab her makeup kit and hair dryer, Simone noticed
a tube of bright red lipstick.

"This isn't mom's." Simone said, her mother would
never wear that bright of a shade.

"Looks expensive," Kay commented.

"Must belong to daddy's new girlfriend," Simone
said. "I otta hunt her down and give her a nice slap-

Kay stopped Simone from leaving.

"Simone, trust me, as someone who's parents are
having marraige problems, it wouldn't be good news
for you if you gave your dad's girlfriend a big
slap across the face." Kay said.

"Why not?" Simone asked.

"In case you're forgetting, your mom is in love with
someone else too, and don't forget what happened
at my house when I expressed instant dislike for
David." Kay said. "Besides, you don't even know
your dad's new girlfriend, so you might be able to
use this as an opportunity to get your dad to side
with you over Whitney."

"Whoever she is, I have to pretend to tolerate her."
Simone said.

"You never know, it might actually be someone you can
get along with," Kay said.

Kay and Simone left with Simone's bags. Later that
afternoon, Rebecca had finished unpacking.

Simone was leaving just as T.C. was coming home from
work, he had gotten off when school let out that day.

"Simone, where are you going?" T.C. asked.

"If its ok with you, I think I'm going to spend a few
days at Tabitha and Kays," Simone said.

"Simone, about last night- we didn't get a chance to
explain-" T.C. said.

"Daddy, just who is mom in love with and who is this
new girlfriend?" Simone asked.

"Simone, your mother and Julian Crane had a past
together- before she ever knew me. Alastair broke
them up and that was why Eve was always worried when
I attacked Julian, Liz is your mom's sister and she
was trying to break up our marraige by blackmailing
your mom with her past with Julian which is why
Eve never told us Liz was her sister."

"Oh my God," Simone said. "But who is your girlfriend?"

"Rebecca," T.C. said.

"Rebecca- Hotchkiss?" Kay asked in shock.

"Yeah," T.C. said.

"Daddy how did this happen?" Simone asked.

"Everything happened so fast," T.C. said. "Don't worry, Liz is out of the house so there's no fueds
going on or anything, your mom and I might not be
together but we're still on good terms." T.C. explained.

"T.C you're home!" Rebecca said. "Hi Simone, hi Kay!"

"Um, hi," Simone said. Simone picked up her suitcases.
"Well, Kay and I have to get going, we'll have to get
to know each other later," Simone said.

"Um, bye-" Rebecca said as Kay and Simone left.

"Wow, she took that a lot better than I thought
she would," T.C. said as he watched Simone and Kay
head off to Tabitha's.

"I hope," Rebecca thought uncomfortably.

At Tabitha's Kay was looking up ticket prices on
her laptop.

"See how much easier it is to find tickets with my
new laptop?" Kay asked.

"Please, Ivy is just using the fact that you picked
your baby's middle name after her to make herself
look better than Grace." Simone scoffed.

"Exactly." Kay said.
