T.C. fixed himself lunch since he had came home for
his lunch break after Simone left. A few minutes later, T.C.
headed for the door when Rebecca caught
up to him.

"Becky doesn't want her boo bear to leave yet," Rebecca said.

"Rebecca, I have to go to work, I'm only on my lunch
break," T.C. reminded her.

"But boo bear-" Rebecca said. Rebecca gave T.C. her
best sad puppy face. T.C. couldn't resist that look.

"Becky, I have to go to work, but I'll be home later
this afternoon, we'll have the whole evening to
ourselves and Simone is at Tabitha's with Kay tonight
so we'll have the whole house to ourselves," T.C.
hinted seductively.

"Ok," Rebecca said, kissing T.C. before he left.
Rebecca sat down on the couch. "I've already
finished unpacking, what am I supposed to do
during the rest of the day?" Rebecca asked. Rebecca
looked around the house. "Um, I think I'm supposed
to do that whole homemaker thing- which would be, uh
cleaning, and uh- cooking!" Rebecca said. "But I
don't know how to do either!" Rebecca said. Rebecca
got an idea. "I know! I bet Ivy has had to have been
stuck watching Grace do all that stuff- she has been
living at the Bennetts for month- maybe she'll give
me some pointers!" Rebecca said. No way was she asking
Grace, that would be a little scary.

A few minutes later, Ivy was laughing so hard that
she almost fell out of her wheelchair.

"You're going to make me fall out of my chair-"
Ivy laughed so hard she was gasping for breath.
"I honestly don't know where you get your crazy ideas!"
Ivy laughed. Ivy smirked.

"Ivy, what's so funny?" Rebecca asked. "What the hell
are you up to?" Rebecca asked.

"Oh Grace!" Ivy called. Grace came upstairs.

"What now, Ivy, oh, hi Rebecca," Grace said dismissively, not
wanting to be in the same room as
Ivy any longer than she had to.

"Um hi-" Rebecca said. "I was just- leaving-"

"Nonsense! Grace, Rebecca wanted me to ask you if
you would help her out with the whole homemaker
thing- you know since she's not living in the mansion
anymore!" Ivy said. Rebecca stared at Ivy speechless.

"Must-kill Ivy." Rebecca thought.

"Sure!" Grace said, wanting an excuse to ignore Ivy.
Next thing Rebecca knew, she was being dragged into
Grace's kitchen.

"Ivy, what have you gotten me into?" Rebecca thought
desperately.

"Welcome to homemaking 101- how to make a tomato soup
cake." Grace said.

"Ivy is trying to kill me!" Rebecca thought. Grace
started to walk Rebecca through the steps of making
the orange-looking frosting. "Ivy- she's evil."
Rebecca thought. Grace put the ingredients into
the blender for the frosting.

"Oh- I've seen this done on those cooking channels-"
Rebecca said. Rebecca's finger went towards one of
the buttons on the blender.

"Um, Rebecca- the lid isn't on-" Grace said, but it
was too late. Frosting was flying all over the
kitchen. Rebecca gasped as a huge blob of splattered
right in her face. Jessica walked downstairs.

"Oh-my-" was all Jessica could say.

"Stop this crazy thing!" Rebecca screamed. Jessica
ran into the room and pushed the button. Grace
laughed hysterically.

"What did they teach you at the mansion?" Grace asked.

"Um, room service?" Rebecca asked in embarrassment,
usually the maids took care of everything at the
mansion.

Eve and Julian smiled at each other as Eve removed
the cast from Julian's arm.

"I'm so glad that's off," Julian said, glad to finally
be able to flex his arm again. "You know, I could be
your patient any day of the week," Julian said. Eve
smiled at him.

"As long as it doesn't involve any more injuries or
broken bones," Eve said.

"Hey, I have an idea," Julian said. "Why don't I fly
you out to Los Angeles so you can visit Whitney?"
Julian asked.

"That's a great idea!" Eve said. "You think of
everything, do you know that?" Julian kissed Eve. They
continued to make out in the room when there was a
knock at the door.

"Dr. Russell, you're needed in E.R." Nurse Brenda
said.

"Coming," Eve said. Eve winked at Julian after Nurse
Brenda left. "We'll finish playing doctor and patient
back at the mansion," Eve said seductively, kissing
Julian before she left.

"I'll get a schedule on flights to Los Angeles for
the next few days," Julian said.

Simone and Kay were going through a checklist of
their luggage.

"Looks like we have everything," Kay said. "Our flight leaves
tomorrow morning."

"Los Angeles, here we come." Simone said.

"Los Angeles hasn't seen anything yet," Kay said,
a devious smile. "Hey, you don't think we'll run
into anyone famous, do you?" Kay asked.
Simone giggled.

"I hope so!" Simone said.
