LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL!! Monica, this is genius! I love it!!
*Ahem*
*Kim rushes through Monica's front door and looks around*
Kim: Did he leave yet?
Monica: No, he's in the bedroo--
David: Honey, I'm gonna go down to Gary's (lol) and watch the fights down there; I'll see you later.
*Kim and Monica wave nicely, trying to cover the computer screen. David chuckles to himself and closes the door. Kim and Monica turn to face the computer and begin to search frantically for the history button*
Kim: How much did you find it for?
Monica: ...Only $120
Kim: $120!? You couldn't possibly buy that, Monica! David would just kill you!
Monica: That's why I can't let him find out!
Kim: But he'd find out, Luc--I mean Monica, you know that! The man is a Cuban radar, he always finds out sooner or later.
*Monica pauses for a moment and smiles*
Kim: I don't like that look, Monica. Everytime you get that look you make it more difficult for any other America wife to get away with bidding behind their husbands' back! None of the women like you anymore, Monica!!
Monica: Shhh, quiet Kim! I'm trying to think!
*Kim goes to run out of the room but Monica yanks her by the arm and sits her back on the chair next to her*
Kim: Ooooo, I can't watch!
*Kim throws her hands over her eyes*
Monica: All I have to do is...when they ask me for special directions I just tell them that I want it delivered next door! So when it arrives, even if Ricky gets home before I do from the grocery store, he'll just think it was Mrs. Ballabin who ordered that hat and not me!
Kim: Say, that isn't a bad idea!
Monica: Well it shouldn't be...it came from my head, didn't it?
Kim: It sure did, but I don't want to see that pretty little head of yours after David finds out that hat belongs to you.
Monica: Oh, he won't Kim. You're such a worry wart!
Kim: Excuse me? I haven't any warts!
Monica: No, but you worry as if you have one right on the end of your nose and the principal announced prom is tomorrow evening. *Sigh* Come on, let's get this thing typed up; I want to get that hat in time for Mrs. Applegate's book club next week!

*Monica calls up mrs. ballabin to warn her, but no one answers the phone*
Kim: what's the matter?
Monica: nobody's home!
Kim: oh you're in serious trouble now mon!
Monica: don't worry there's still time before david gets home.
Kim: time for what?
Monica: time to go over mrs. ballabin's apartment and wait for the package there!
Kim: how do you know the time the package will arrive?
Monica: I don't but it shouldn't be much longer, so I'll tell ya what we'll do...we'll g....
Kim: wait a minute, what do you mean we?
Monica: Kim you said you would help me, now we're in this together!
Kim: I don't know how I always get dragged into these things.
Monica: ok, so here's what we'll do...we'll wait by mrs. ballabin's door til she or the package gets there. If she gets there first we'll explain the whole thing to her and that's it. If the package arrives first then we'll take it and hide it in my closet.
*Mon and Kim go over to mrs. ballabin's apartment as they approach the door they hear noises inside the apartment*
Kim: why monica I think mrs. ballabin is home already, I hear noise in there, shall we knock?

Monica: I think that would be wise...seeing as this is her house!
Kim: Sure...but what if it's a burglar?
Monica: You're a very special kind of strange, do you know that Kim?
Kim: Yeah! ...My mom's always said that.
*Kim smiles cheesily and Monica sighs, shaking her head and knocks on the door. No answer. She knocks once more. She hears footsteps approaching. The door opens*
Kim: Hello, Mrs. Ballabin?
Mrs. B: Yes?
Kim: Hi, me and my friend were wondering...
Monica: ...........If we could all sit and discuss the future plans of rennovating these apartments.
*Kim nudges Monica and she shrugs. Mrs. B hesitates for a moment then opens the door wider.*
Mrs. B: Oh, come on in then, ladies...
*The girls all walk to the couch and sit down. Mrs. Ballabin walks into the kitchen for a few snacks while Kim and Monica quickly discuss what's going to happen*
Kim: We can't stay here and talk about something that's not even going to happen! Let alone wait for who knows how long while waiting for a package that Mrs. Ballabin knows nothing about!
Monica: If the delivery guy does drop it off here it won't matter, we'll just say that they mixed up the addresses!
Kim: But--
*Monica shushes Kim as Mrs. Ballabin walks out of the kitchen with a tray of milk and cookies. *

Mrs. Ballabin: here are some milk and cookies girls
Monica: oh thank you mrs. ballabin
Kim: mmm milk and cookies! (LOL)
Mrs. Ballabin: so ladies what is that I hear about future rennovations for the apartments?
Kim: ehhh...
Monica: well mrs. ballabin, you see kim and I were talking about renovating, well not really renovating but re-painting the apartments.
*Kim opens her eyes wide open and looks at Monica*
*Monica nudges her and smiles at mrs. ballabin*
Mrs. Ballabin: oh is that so? well I would be delighted, as a matter of fact I was telling mr. ballabin the other day that the paint in these old walls are starting to chip already.
*Monica puts a fake smile on her face and just sits there speechless*
Mrs. ballabin: excuse me girls my phone is ringing
*Mrs. Ballabin walks out the room and takes phone call in the kitchen*
Kim: Monica are you crazy? why haven't you told mrs. ballabin about the package, and how do you think she's gonna react when she finds out we're not re-painting her apartment?
Monica: who says we're not?

*The next morning, Kim and Monica grunt all up the way up the stars in their painiting outfits; pulling the paint and tarp up to Mrs. Ballabin's apartment.*
Monica: Lift that end, Kim....LIFT!
Kim: I'm trying!
Monica: Don't spill it...you know how angry Gary would get if he knew you spilled paint all over these carpets.
Kim: Would I know?
*Kim throws her head back and laughs, but almost falls down the stairs. She positions herself against the railing, with eyes wide*
Kim: ....Woah.
Monica: Just lift it, Kim, we're almost there.
*They reach Mrs. Ballabin's apartment and stand halt at the door. Monica steadies the paint bucket on her knee and quickly goes to open the door. She misses a few times, but eventually gets it. They walk in and quickly scurry to the side of the couch. They set the stuff down and collapse on the couch. Panting, Kim looks to Monica and shakes her head*
Kim: I don't know why I let you talk me into these things...
Monica: Because life would be so much less eventful if we didn't....now let's get started before Ri--David gets home from work...

*The girls start painting the apartment while mrs. ballabin is out grocery shopping*
Kim: oh be awful careful monica, we don't wanna get any of this paint in mrs. ballabins furniture or carpet.
Monica: I know kim, besides I brought this newspaper so we can put it all around the floor so we won't get any on the carpet.
Kim: Oh that's a good idea!
*The girls continue their painting, while suddenly they hear a loud noise in the kitchen as if someone dropped something*
*Kim with eyes wide open*
Kim: what was that mon?
*Monica with eyes wide open*
Monica: I don't know
Kim: you think it's a burglar?
Monica: oh don't be silly kim, it's probably mrs. ballabin forgot something and came in through the kitchen door.
*The girls look towards the kitchen door as if neither of them believe it's really mrs. ballabin*
*Kim whispers to mon*
Kim: maybe you should go check and make sure it's her
Monica: ME?!?!
Kim: shhhhhh
Monica: why don't you go?
Kim: *whispering* ok let's both go together
*Monica grabs kims arm and the both lock arms together*
*Monica grabs the paint brush as if to attack someone with it*
*Kim grabs hers and they both head towards the kitchen very slowly*
*They take a peak through the door slowly, and just as they had imagined, A BURGLAR! right before their very eyes*
*The girls panic, monica lets go of kims arm and starts running frantically in circles not knowing where to go and finally surrenders in a corner of the wall facing towards the wall and covering her face, while kim runs to the closet and hides in there*
*while kim's in the closet monica hears the burglars footsteps coming out of the kitchen and into the living room where she's at*
*Monica not knowing what to do looks around the room and finds a doll head on top of mrs. ballabins piano, so monica takes the doll's head out and bends down a little bit and rests her chin on the piano as if her head was the figurine that was there before, trying to make a manequin sort of face*

LOLOL!
*The burger looks around and jumps at the sight of the overly large human head on the freakishly small doll body. He goes to run out of the house when Kim slams the door and throws rope around him. Monica leaps out of the closet and dances around like a crazy woman*
Kim: Monica, STOP IT!
*Monica looks to Kim then slows down and comes to a complete halt.*
Monica: ......So what are we gonna do now?
*Kim looks to the man, folds her hands, looks him up and down and shakes her head, shrugging*
Kim: Ya' hungry?
*The man gives her a strange look*
Monica: Don't be awkward, Kimberly!
Kim: What! I don't know how to babysit a burglar.
Monica: Well...you just...you just ask him why he's here--*looks to him quickly and gives him a glare* Why are you here, mister?
*The man looks to her and gives her an awkward look as well*
Kim: I think he's mute.
Monica: Did he come with a remote?
*Monica looks around the couch area. Kim swats at her head*
Kim: No! *Sigh* Here, let's just call the police; I'm sure they'll handle this better tha--
Man: No! Don't call the cops!
Monica: He speaks!
Kim: Sounds kinda like Sylevster Stallone...*Ahem* We have to call the cops, buster...you're in one of our tenents' home!
Man: You can do anything to me, but don't call the cops!!
*Kim looks to Mon, Mon looks to Kim and they both smile. 45 minutes later Mrs. Ballabin walks through the door. She turns the key and steps into the apartment but shreiks and drops her groceries on the ground at the sight of what she sees; a grown man handcuffed with ribbon, wearing a pink lace bonnet, bright shade of orange/red lipstick, large hoop earrings, permed haircut and a frightfully hideous (and rather tight) mustard yellow skirt drinking tea and talking to teddy bears with faces of dead celebrities glued to their heads*
Mrs. Ballabin: What in heaven's name are you people doing!?
*Kim, Mon and the man look up.*
Mon: You wouldn't believe it, Mrs. Ballabin--
Mrs. Ballabin: Seeing this, my dear, I'd believe ANYTHING!
Kim: This man was trying to break into you home! ...We caught him in the act.
*Mon looks to Kim and nods, then back to Mrs. Ballabin and smiles cheesily*
;D

Mrs. Ballabin: girls this is my husband mr. ballabin
*Kim and Monica open their eyes wide open and look at each other*
Monica: oh no!
Kim: oh dear
Mrs. ballabin: yes dear
*Mr. ballabin nods his head* (yes)
Monica: oh mrs. ballabin i'm terribly sorry, you see we thought he was a burglar because he was prancing around all suspicious and you see we thought.... HEY WAIT A MINUTE! *looks at mr. ballabin* why didn't you tell us you were mrs. ballabin's husband in the first place?
Mr. Ballabin: you girls didn't give me a chance, now would you please untie me? you girls are nuts!!!!
Kim: oh of course!
*Kim and mon start untying the man with a very embarrassed look on their face*
*Doorbell rings*
*Mrs. ballabin opens the door and standing there is Gary and David*
Mrs Ballabin: oh hello mr. alvarez, hello mr. cooper (LOL)
David: hello mrs. ballabin I was wondering if Gary and I can speak with you for a moment
Mrs. Ballabin: sure boys come on in, well what a coincidence *she looks at kim and monica*

*Kim and Monica look to each other and leave Mr. Ballabin the way he is and dart out the door. Gary and David grab them both by the wrists and spin them around*
David: You're not going anywhere, Monica. We have to talk with you about something...
*Monica gulps and smiles faintly*
Monica: Little ol' me?
*David folds his arms and stares at her, nodding*
David: Yes, '*mocking* 'little 'ol me'.
*While David is talking with Monica, Kim quietetly sneaks out of the room but Gary pulls her by the arm and sits her down on the chair*
Gary: I have something I want to discuss with you, too...dear.
*Kim sits in her chair and sighs, placing her fist under her chin and her elbow on the arm of the chair*
Kim: This oughtta be fun.
*Mrs. Ballabin extends her hand and invites everyone to sit on the couch. David and Gary pull Monica and Kim toward the couch and sit; the girls look to each other and shrug*
Mrs. Now, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Alvarez...what did you want to speak with me and my husband about?

Gary: well you see mrs. ballabin we had originally come over here because david and I are waiting for a package to get here, some tools we ordered, to work on some stuff in the building. But we gotta go down to town to get some more stuff and well our wives are here so now they can go home and wait for the package.
Kim: but gary dear...
Gary: no buts
Monica: david you don't expect me to go home too do you?
David: what do you think?
Monica: well honey you see... *monica is interrupted by the doorbell*
Mrs. Ballabin: well now who could it be?
*Monica and Kim look at each other*
*Mrs. ballabin opens the door and there standing is a messenger boy with a package*
Mrs. Ballabin: *while signing the paper* oh this must be your package gentlemen, it must've come to the wrong apartment.
*Kim and Monica open their eyes wide open*
Monica: ewwwwwwwww
David: well that's strange I'm sure I told them the correct apartment number
Gary: yeah david I heard when you said the correct apt #
David: well I don't know this is so strange, oh well lets open it up, right on time boy!
*Monica and Kim start heading towards the door*
Monica & Kim: WELL WE GOTTA RUN!

*Kim quickly takes the package on her way out and skiis down the banister. Monica stands halt at the top of the stairs, keeping everyone from chasing after Kim* Monica: Run, Kim! RUN!! *Kim runs as fast as her feet can carry her. She runs toward her apartment but accidentally knocks into another messenger boy. Kim thinks quickly and takes the package from the boy, replacing the package from upstairs and continues to run. She gets into her apartment and closes the door, just as she sits down to open the package, David, Gary, Monica, Mrs. Ballabin and Mr. Ballabin stand at the door and look to her, panting. Kim hides the package and chuckles faintly. Gary walks over to her and takes the package from her hands. She gives it to him willingly, knowing that the messenger boy has the hat. As Gary opens the package, Kim leans into Monica and whispers* Kim: The messenger boy has your hat, go up there and get it...*Monica nods and sneaks out to Mr. Ballabin's apartment. Gary opens the package and shoots a glare to Kim. Kim shrugs and shakes her head* Kim: What? *Gary hands her the package; she looks inside and makes a strange noise (which is almost impossible to explain while typing, lol).* Kim: Eiiilll, LOLOL It's supposed to sound like Lucy!
