But It's Better If You Swear to Shake It Up.

One Month Later.

Izey's P.O.V.

"Cali, move your hands." I said pointing the camera at Cali who had her hands in front of her face so I couldn't see it.

"No. You're leaving me, and I'm not helping you do it." She said not budging her hands.

"Cali, I'm not leaving for another week. And anyway, you're staying with me in New York for a whole week after I get there. But I need the practice before I do anything out there. So please move your hands." I told her.

"Yeah, but you're gonna get in the school and not come home until breaks and holidays, if you even find time then." She answered and I huffed.

"Don't make me tie your hands behind your back, Smith. I've done it once, I'll do it again." I told her and she laughed.

"You can't threaten me now. I'll sic my dog on you." She said and it was my turn to laugh. "Don't laugh, he's a mean little son of a bitch. He keeps nibbling and jumping on my feet when I'm sleeping."

"He's a puppy. A little white boxer puppy. And anyway, you brought him for Brendon as a Christmas present. And that would make him Brendon's dog." I told her and I could see her frowning behind her hands.

"He can be menacing. You should see him play with Hobo. Thank god he's not trying to hump her yet like Hemingway does. The poor little thing. And I spent a lot of money on that little fucker. Brenny bear can learn to share."

"How are you gonna hide him until tomorrow morning? Or are the guys working tonight, too?"

"They're gonna be in the studio for a little bit, but not very long. I don't know, he might just get his present early then." She said shrugging. "Hey, if I've managed to hide him for a week now, I bet I can hide him for another night."

"I'm sure you can find a way. It probably won't be easy, though."

"No. I'll probably end up dropping him off at Ryan and Pete's, and then running over to get him in the morning." She told me and I nodded.

"Are you going to take your hands away from your face anytime soon?" I asked still holding the camera at ready for when she did.

"No." She stood up and started walking, but not seeing where she was going, she tripped over something on the floor. Which happened to be Brendon's dog.

"Ow, Prince!" She yelled as she fell flat on her ass and removed her hands from her face. I abandoned my mission of getting a picture of her and put the camera down. I helped her up while trying not to laugh and she just glared. "That's not funny."

"Yes it was." I nodded my head.

"No it wasn't!" She yelled and the phone started ringing. She walked over to the one on the wall and answered it.

"Hello." She paused for a couple of seconds, probably waiting for the person on the other line to reply. "Um, he's not here right now. May I ask who's calling?"

I watched the color drain slightly from her face and she faked a smile as if the other person could see her. "Oh, hi, Mrs.Urie." She bit her lip and looked at me with huge eyes and I couldn't help but laugh this time.

"Shut up." She whispered to me and then her face really did drain of its color. "No, not you." She said into the phone and I giggled again.

"Who am I? I'm his, um...roommate." She said looking around and I was still giggling silently at how nervous she was. She had probably just successfully pissed off her boyfriend's mother, whom she had never met before. "Yeah, I'll tell him you called." She said hanging up the phone and staring at it for a couple of seconds more.

"Fuck!!" She said looking at me and we both burst out laughing. "I feel so stupid. I can't even talk to my boyfriend's mom without getting nervous. She hates me."

"And apparently now we have to explain to Brendon that he's your roommate." I said and she sighed.

"Shut up. I was thinking of the top of my head. And you got me in the most trouble. If you would've just stopped fucking laughing!"

"Geez, Kara must be right about her being a bitch if she had you jumbled up like that."

"I think it's because she's my boyfriend's mom, and I really love Brendon and I don't wanna fuck that up. Which I don't think will happen just because his mom doesn't like me, but you never know." She said sighing. "But she did sound like a bitch anyway."

"I don't know. I didn't talk to her." I told her and she rolled her eyes.

"I know, you were too busy laughing your ass off in the corner over there." She said and I smiled.

"It's what I do best." I said and she smiled before rolling her eyes again. "I hope your eyes get stuck like that one of these times."

"And I hope you go blind from doing this too many times." She said stroking her hand over her thigh to insinuate a whole other meaning.

"Shut up, that's guys."

"You mean you aren't a guy?" She asked and I glared at her before grabbing her hand and biting it. "Ow, you bit me!"

"I sorry." I told her kissing her cheek, but she wiped it off with her hand and then smacked me.

"Come on, you stupid whore." She said pulling me up to my feet.

"Where are we going?"

"To take the puppy to Pete and then I'm gonna go annoy the guys at the studio." She said and we walked out of the door to the car.

***************

I followed behind Cali as she walked up to the floor of the hotel that the studio the guys were recording at was. She knocked on the door and didn't get an answer, so she jiggled the handle but it wouldn't come loose.

"Fuckers." She whispered looking around before knocking again. Suddenly I saw Brendon walk down the hallway. When he noticed me he smiled and put his finger up to his lips as he advanced toward Cali. She had her back to him with her arms crossed over her chest as she stared at the door. Brendon walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her stomach. He whispered something in her ear that I didn't hear, but knew it was something personal because her cheeks went pink and she giggled before twisting her head back to kiss his lips.

"I can't get in. Your ass hole producer was actually being serious last time. He locked the door on me, baby." She whined at him and he laughed.

"That's why I have a room key, baby." He said and she reached her hand back to pull it out of his pocket and unlock the door.

"Ha, I got in! I told you I'd do it!" She yelled at someone when she walked in the room. I followed behind Brendon who walked in behind her after a couple of minutes had passed. I saw Ryan, Spencer, and Jon sitting on a couple of chairs laughing at her.

"That's okay. We're taking a break anyway, you won't be a distraction." A man sitting at the controls told her and she pouted.

"Aww!" Ryan said and she kicked his foot. "Ouch!"

"Hey, you don't need to get violent now." Brendon said grabbing her hand and sitting down on a chair with her in his lap.

"Why not?"

"Because there's too many things in here for you to break. Ryan probably being the easiest." Jon told her and Ryan glared at him while holding his foot.

"You just wait. I'm gonna get you." The younger man told him, making Jon laugh.

"Hey, Cali, did you tell my mom we were roommates?" Brendon asked her and she chewed her lip.

"Maybee. Why?"

"She just called me on my cell phone. She said she talked to my "roommate", and she said she sounded like she had mental problems. Now who could that be?" He asked and she shrugged.

"I have no idea." She said kissing his lips.

"Me either."

"Maybe she's the one with the mental problems."

"Oh well." Another kiss.

"Aw shit!"
