Rose Towers~PH 4~April 2000

''I give up!!'' Tunethat shouted in frustration as she threw her arms up in the air. ''You are obviously set on hating everything I suggest! So what do you want to do Carly??''

''Don't even go there with the self-pity act. I'm not gonna feel sorry for you. You think that because your some hot shot model, you are always gonna get your way'' Carly shouted back ''Well I've got news for you.....''

Kysela, Tunetha, Gia, Emily and Chloe sat back in thier chairs and let out an exasperated sigh because when Carly started in on Tunetha, there was no shutting her up until she finished.

The girls were trying to come up with an idea for thier Nurse's Ball skit but they were having no such luck. Somehow Lucy Coe had convinced the girls to participate in the fund raiser, and then stuck the 6 together. It wasn't really that the group didn't get along...it was that Carly and Tunetha didn't get along.

Carly didn't like Tunetha from the minute she set eyes on her, and that was about 6 mths ago.

Carly had come home one evening from an afternoon of shopping to see Sonny and Tunetha sitting on the couch laughing. They were wearing matching blue sweatsuits and Tunetha had one of her legs draped over one of his. Sonny had his hand on her knee holding her leg there as he cracked jokes with her. Carly stood there fuming for a few minutes before she was noticed.

''Hello, you must be Carly'' Tunetha finally said when she saw her standing there.

''Hey, Babe'' Sonny said from the couch. That made Carly even more mad, the fact that the wans't even to get up from the couch to greet her. ''Carly this is Tunetha, Tunetha that's Carly''

''Its nice to meet you, Carly'' she said as she got up and walked towards her to shake hands.

''Likewise'' Carly said as she walked past her, ignoring the gesture.

Tunetha and Sonny watched Carly go upstairs both shocked by her actions.

''Should I go??'' Tunetha asked Sonny

''Oh, no you don't'' he said as he got up from the couch ''We have plans. I'm gonna go upstairs for just a second and then when I come back down, we'll start cooking''

''Okay'' she said smiling weakly. She watched as he walked up the stairs. As soon as he was out of sight she cleaned up thier mess, took the glasses and the bowl to the kitchen. She hoped she wasn't causing problems. She knew she hadn't known Sonny for long but now that she did she coudln't imagine life without him.

Tunetha went back out into the dining room and went to stand by the window. As she looked out onto the city she smiled as she remembered the morning they first met....

''Aren't you cold?' he asked breaking her from her trance.

Tunetha had just finished her morning run, and was standing on the docks staring out at the water clad only in shorts and a sports bra. She had moved to Port Charles with her sister, Kysela, a couple of weeks before that first meeting on the docks. They had both been signed as the new Face of Deception.

''Shit you scared me'' she said as she turned to look at him. ''I'm a little cold, but I'm getitng ready to go home''She pointed in the direction of the towers.

''I didn't mean to run you off'' he told her as he began to walk off, disaappointed she was leaving so soon.

She placed her hand on his arm to stop him ''your not running meoff. I'm just really, really, really hungry'' she flashed him a smile.

''Oh'' he said smiling back at her. He didn't know who she was, but he liked her. ''Do you live close by?''

''Yea Rose Towers'' she removed her hand from his arm and started digeting with her hair.

''I live in harborview, how about I walk you home?''

''I'd like that...on one condition...''

''what's that?''

''you join me for breakfast''

''It's a deal'' he said not believing he just agreed to go eat with her.

''Cool'' she said as she began walking.

Sonny handed her his jacket ''I can't take this I''m all sweaty and stinky''

''yes you can think of it as my condition for breakfast''

''Well if you put it that way'' she laughed as she slid on the jacke glad for the shield it have her from the wind. ''By the way, my name is Tunetha''

''Sonny''

They talked all the way to her apt and all through breakfast about everything...Carly, her job, his warehouse and her sister. They quickly became best friends

Meanwhile Upstairs

Carly is slamming things around in the bathroom and doesn't hear him come in.

''Don't you think that was just a little rude'' he asked

Not bothering to answer his question, she asked one of her own ''Since when do you wear sweatsuits??''

''Since lately. Tunetha bought them for me a couple of days ago. I like them, they are comfortable''

''So this is something you only do with her, is that why ya'll match??

Not knowing why they matched he ignored her question and went back to his original one ''don't you think you were rude down there, I told you this morning she was coming over for dinner''

''You never bothered to tell me she drapes herself over you or that you eat popcorn''

''your jealous'' he accused

''no''

''whatever Carly, I just came up here to see why you are bieng so rude. Tunetha is still downstairs so I'm gonna go back down. When your'e ready to be nice please join us''

With that said Sonny headed out of the room and back downstairs to find Tunetha
