Chapter 8 - No Nose!!

After everyone adjusted to the fact that Larry and Victoria are dating they began rehearsing for Chelsea's play immediately. Everything went smoothly until Chelsea got to her first line. In very high pitched and nasally voice with a slight southern drawl "The Lord told me to come to the Lester house, I was at home sweeping out the kitchen when he came to me an said..."

Tom clamps his hands over his ears before shouting "What the Hell is that!" Chelsea instantly stops reading and stares daggers at Tom. "Sister Bessie Rice is a southern woman who was born with out any cartilage in her nose, how else should I sound?" Mari gets up and walks over to Tom's father's study and rummaged through his desk returning with a sharpie and a sticky note.

"Here you have no nose and our ears don't have to suffer" before Chelsea could ask what Mari was going to do, Mari stuck the sticky note over her nose and placed two black dots for nostrils leaving Chelsea very confused. Everyone laughed but for some reason Mike couldn't stop laughing and tears started rolling down his cheeks.

"Dude it was funny but not that funny.." Larry says while shaking Mike to get him to stop. "No man you guys don't get it.. Mari just did a 'Got your nose' and Chelsea had the exact face of a two year old the first time it happened to them."

Mike starts laughing again while Chelsea is getting held back by Victoria and Mari all the while screaming at Mike. "Keep laughing slim shady, I'll give you a real reason for those tears in a second!"

They eventually got through the rehearsal, and Chelsea felt satisfied after whacking Mike a few times. After everyone put away their scripts Chelsea took off her 'nose holes' and they made their way back to the living room to finish the game of Mario party. While Larry was rolling a blunt for them to smoke Tom threw a frozen pizza in the oven, everyone stepped into the basement for a few minutes.

Mike threw some puddle of mud on his Pandora and psycho was the first song to play so everyone sand while they smoked. Eventually they came back up smelling like smoke while coughing and laughing. Mike plops onto the couch picks up his controller and started his turn... landing directly on a Bowser space.

"NOOOOOOO!!!" "Shut up you big baby, it's not like you just lost" Mari laughs while elbowing Mike in the ribs. "If you're not in first you're losing, besides you're the one who took my place so I don't want to hear that from you till I sick a Bow wow on your @$$" Mari keeps goading Mike while laughing "Oooh soo scared whatever will I do?".

Mini-game after mini-game, a few lucky rolls later and Larry was deemed king of the night. being unable to resist rubbing it in Mike's face he offered a handicap he instantly regret. "I feel bad for you Mikey boy how about you pick the next game? I'll go easy on you don't worry"

Mike yells into Kitchen at Tom who happens to be pulling out the pizza. "Break out the PS3.. we're playing drunk DBZ tenkaichi 3!" everyone can hear Tom grumbling as the room fills with the absolute mouth watering smell of pizza. "Yeah sure whatever but I'm eating first"

After a quick pizza break the guys grabbed some beer, while Victoria and Chelsea had wine coolers leaving Mari as 'odd man out' with a Pepsi. "why don't you ever drink at Tom's house?" Chelsea asks knowing that Mari can turn up a pop off vodka like it's water. "Because Tom only has beer or whiskey, beer tastes like crap and I get mean on brown liquor.." "I have some homemade Muscadine wine in my room if you want it? I was saving it for after prom.. but that didn't go as planned." Tom says as he starts looking depressed again.

"Oh I see how it is you made wine just for Ashley but never for your best friends huh?" Mari teases while running to his room. Tom looks indignant while shouting at her receding figure "It's in the Bottom left shelf of my dresser..." he seems to remember something important and jumps up.

"Wait! I'll get it don't go through my stuff!" As he runs after her Chelsea turns to Larry "what's got him so jumpy?" "I dunno might have a porno mag or something embarrassing in there?" Victoria starts laughing "Do people still use magazines for that? I figured those would have disappeared by now thanks to the internet".

Both Larry and Mike stare at Victoria before Mike opens his mouth. "there's still books right" "Well duh there's something satisfying about turning the page that clicking a mouse will never... oh nevermind, wait.. Larry do you have any magazines I need to know about?"

Larry starts sweating and mumbling before he answers her "Do you want to know about them? I could lend you a few?" stupidity runs in the male Gene and he decided to make it into a joke. Victoria just smiles and looks coldly into his eyes "Let's just pretend neither of us said anything and you get to keep those dirty books of other women safe.."

Before Larry could reply Tom and Mari come back acting awkward. "what did we miss?" Mari asks looking like she wants to forget what ever she may or may not have seen in Tom's dresser. "Oh just Larry being an idiot like usual so nothing much, what about you two? Did you get a good look in Tom's dresser? tell us everything" Chelsea is absolutely beaming at everyone else's embarrassment.

""NOTHING!!"" They reply and Tom continues "There was nothing to see besides the wine and my designs for the next robot". "Ooooh is it a sex bot? you guys are acting weird, TELL ME!". Feeling like she hooked on to something forbidden Chelsea would rather die than let Tom get away scot free.

"There are some thing's we are better off not knowing and sadly I know one now, so no I'm not saying a word and by the way I have something for you Chelsea". Mari starts somberly and slowly breaks into smile as she ends her sentence.

"Gimme" Chelsea just holds her hand out to take whatever Mari 'Found' before Mari reaches out and stick another sticky note to her face. ""You got no nose!"" Tom and Mari start laughing as steam rolls out of Chelsea's ears.
