Lizzy walked into the office looking around nervously.

Okay, this is good...no one seems to be suspicious—“LIZZY!”

Shit! It was Will.

“Yes?” she said innocently.

“Could I see you in my office for a minute,” he asked.

“Actually, I was just heading out,” she started heading towards the exit.

“Now!”

“Sure. Right. Of course.”

Lizzy walked in casually, and sat down in his office. Will paced for a minute before sitting in front of her.

“Lizzy, is there anything that you would like to tell me?”

“Um...no...well yes. You see, there was an incident. Some one rear ended your car! I know, it was so weird! I went in to my apartment, oh and it turns out the stove wasn't on. Well anyways, I go into my apartment and decide my nails really are getting bad. So I gave my self a manicure, then I decided I was really tired so I took a little nap. But, then I came straight back. Well, I stopped for a coke and a sandwich, then I realized I forgot to feed the ferret. So I go went back to my apartment to grab him. He likes to sleep in my purse.” she grabbed the ferret out of her bag, holding him up for Will to see, then stuffed him back in. “Anyways, I came back out and BAM! Your car had been hit. It was a total hit and run! Can you belive it?”

Lizzy took a few deep breaths. Will leaned over his desk a little.

“Oh. My. God” Will finally said. “Lizzy I saw the whole thing from my window!”

“Oh really? Gee, who would've thought. I forgot your office overlooked the front of the building. Wait, what were you doing looking out your window so much?! Are you some kind of weirdo freak? I mean a perv who looks at other girls when there naked! Oh my God!!”

“Lizzy, what are you even talking about? Im not a perv! I was casually opening my blinds when I saw you.”

“Oh,” she said looking uncomfortable.

“So, what do you suggest we do?”

“I dont know, I guess I could pay you back...but I would have to pay in increments because Im really low on cash if you catch my drift.”

All of the sudden Will got a weird look on his face.

“Lizzy!! Lizzy!!” Will said, having a panic attack.

“What?”

“The. Ferret. Is. Up. My. Pant. Leg.” He said breathing heavily.

“Oh! Don't worry he wont bite.”

“Get it out!! Holy shit!!” He said hopping around.

“Come here Ferret. Come here.” she said, not really helping, as she was still sitting in her chair.

Will yanked it out of his pant leg by the neck.

“What are you doing? Trying to strangle him?? Let him go!!” Lizzy said, finally rising from her seat and yanking the ferret out of his hands.

“There, there Ferret.” Lizzy said, patting his head quite hard.

“His name is Ferret?”

“Yes. ”

“Oh my God, Lizzy I think you better go take that thing home.”

“Are you sure? What about the car?” she asked.

“I will take care of it. I know it was just an accident.”

“Omigosh! Thank you so much!!” she said hugging him. Until she realized that she was hugging her boss, and she already knew hugging him was much better than hugging Brian.

“Okay, well Im going to go.” she said backing away, laughing nervously. “Bye.”

“Goodbye Lizzy.”

“Oh my God! It ran up his pant leg!”

“Yes! Thats what Im telling you!”

“Thats hilarious!”

“I know!”

Lizzy was talking to her best friend Charlotte Lucas. They were at there favorite hangout, a bar/club called Crazyness. Cheesy name. Amazing martinis.

“What did you do?” she said, screaming over 4 Minutes by Madonna.

“I just sat there.”

“You just sat there! While it crawled up his leg! What if it had bit his balls?”

“Well Im sorry but it was hilarious. And if Ferret would've bit his balls I would've laughed my head off!”

“God! Thats so funny! I wished I worked in accounting rather than stupid marketing. You know what I did all day? I sat in meetings. All. Day. Long!! I could've died!” she said sipping her orange-strawberry martini.

“Im sorry. That does suck ass.”

“Tell me about it! So where is Jane?”

“Out on another date with loverboy, Charlie.”

“God! Thats like every day this week.”

“I know! I think that they are getting pretty serious.”

“Thats weird.”

“I know,” she said, taking a sip of her apple martini, “the weirdest.”

Lizzy walked up the fourteen flights of stairs, finally reaching the top. She scrambled to get her keys before finally reaching them at the bottom of her purse. She had one to many apple martinis.

“Jane!” she said fumbling at the lock. “I need to talk to you.”

Lizzy pushed her way through the door and tripped over the leg of a chair.

“Shit!”

She stumbled over to Janes room and opened the door.

“Jane! What the—OH MY GOD!” Lizzy said covering her eyes.

“Im so sorry! Oh my sweet jesus!”

“Lizzy!” Jane said jumping out of the bed. “What are you doing? Me and Charlie were just um...having a meeting. Right Charlie?”

“Oh yea!” he said trying to collect all his things.

“See you tomorrow then.” he ran out of the apartment as fast as he could.

“You realize I officially get to make fun of this for like the rest of my life.” Lizzy said cracking up.

“Oh! Shut up! I didn't know you were going to be home so early. What ever happened to knocking anyway?” she said tying a robe around herself.

“I did knock but it looked like you two didn't hear me over all those animal noises you were making!”

“LIZZY!! Oh my God! Im mortified!”

“Oh I don't care. Even though I am scared for life.”
