"It's times like these you learn to live again,
It's times like these you give and give again,
It's times like these you learn to love again,
It's times like these time and time again."

"I should get going," Kate nodded, looking up at the clock in Kelly's living room.
"Gotta get ready for your date," Kelly winked.
"Yea," she laughed softly. "I'm actually kinda nervous."
"Aw, don't be. You're gonna have a great time, and trust me, any guy would be lucky to have you, ok?"
"Thanks," she stood. "I'm gonna go grab something to drink real quick."
"Help yourself," Kelly nodded, motioning to the kitchen. She turned on the television, trying to remember what movie she had put in the DVD player last before getting an idea. She got up, walking to the kitchen. "Hey Kate, why don't Ashley and I come help you get ready..." her voice trailed off. "Um...what's going on?"
Kate reached out, wiping the smudged lip gloss off of Jason lips.
"Kelly, this isn't what it looks like," Jason shook his head.
"It's not?" Kelly questioned, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them. "You mean, I didn't just walk in on the two of you kissing?"
"Um, well...maybe this is exactly what it looks like..."
Kelly shook her head, confused before her eyes narrowed at her backup singer, "You have a date tonight."
"Kelly--" Kate tried to protest as the Texan moved to her brother's side.
"No," she cut her off. "It's one thing to sneak around with my brother, it's another to cheat on him with some loser you met at a coffee shop."
Jason turned red, "Kelly..."
"Jay, please don't tell me this is another one of those 'open relationships'. You know you always end up being the one that gets hurt in those."
"Kelly, no, you've misunderstood."
"Misunderstood what?"
"I'm the guy she met at a coffee shop," Jason looked at her nervously. "I'm the loser..."
"What?" Kelly asked, confused again. She looked at Kate, "You said a hot guy asked you out."
Kate nodded, "Yea...Jason..."
"Ok, ew," she shook her head, trying to get the image out.
"So you're ok with this?" Jason asked hopefully.
"Ok with this?" Kelly moved so that she was standing protectively in front of Kate. "She's one of my best friends, Jay, I swear to God if you hurt her..."
"I won't, I promise. You know I wouldn't do that."
"Of course not," she deadpanned. "You'd never do anything like that...Jay you can be a total ass sometimes. I'm sorry, but it's true."
"Just give me one chance..." he blushed as he lowered his voice. "I really like her, KC."
"Jay, you're ten years older than her."
"You know that's not a fair argument. Do you think of me as being ten years older than you?"
"No, of course not, but that's different."
"How?"
She frowned, "Because you're only nine years older than me.
"Kelly, come on...please?"
Kelly sighed, noting the sincerity in his eyes, "Alright, but I swear Jay, if you hurt her--"
"I won't," he replied quickly.
"Or treat her as anything less than royalty--"
"I won't," he swore, catching Kate's eye over Kelly's head and smiling softly.
"Oh God, I'm so gonna throw up," Kelly stepped out from in between them. "Now I know where Ash is coming from when she fusses about me and Care."
"Kelly..." Kate began carefully.
"Come on," Kelly held out her hand. "I was gonna ask if you wanted me and Ashley to come over and help you get ready...the offer still stands."
"Thanks," Kate smiled, taking her hand. She turned to Jason, biting her lip nervously, "See you tonight?"
"Can't wait," he smiled.
"So gross..." Kelly muttered, shaking her head.

"Ok, so seriously?" Kelly asked as she sat on Kate's bed while Ashley did the taller blonde's makeup. "Jason? Seriously?"
"Jason is a pretty great guy," Ashley pointed out. "You raised him well."
Kelly groaned, "She called him hot."
"He is hot," Kate argued.
Kelly covered her face with her hands as she fell back on the bed, "That's my brother..."
Ashley laughed as she pulled back, "There we go... beautiful."
"You sure?" Kate looked into the mirror.
"Kell," Ashley got her attention.
Kelly sat back up, looking at her backup singer. She smiled, "You look perfect."
"And are you sure you're ok with this?" Kate asked.
Ashley looked between the two of them, "I'm gonna go grab me something to drink."
"Please don't find another family member of mine to make out with," Kelly pleaded. "That seems to be the latest fad these days."
"Deal," Ashley laughed, walking out the room, leaving them to talk.
Kate stood up, walking to the bed, "Are you really ok with this? I mean, I know it's kind of weird for you. I'm your friend, and he's your brother, but I really, really like him."
"Yea?"
"Yea," she nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
"So you're not mad?"
"No, of course not. I'm happy that you're happy, and Ashley was right: Jay really is a great guy."
Kate smiled, "I was so worried you'd be upset. That's why I didn't want to tell you sooner. Plus, I didn't think he liked me back, you know? I mean, he and I never really talked much. But when I ran into him the other day at the coffee house, and he asked me out...he was so cute because he was nervous...I'm sorry I didn't tell you. He asked me out, and I said yes, and I know you've been dealing with a lot lately. I didn't want to have you dealing with this too."
"It's ok," Kelly wrapped an arm around her. "I really am happy for you."
"Yea?"
"Of course."
"Thanks," Kate smiled, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Just next time y'all are making out hang like a tie on the door or something," Kelly shivered.
Kate laughed, "Deal...so, you really think I look ok?"
"I think you look amazing," Kelly nodded. "And my brother is a very, very lucky guy to be going on a date with you."
"Thanks, KC," Kate wrapped her arms around her in a tight hug.
Kelly laughed softly, rubbing her back, "Treat him well, ok?"
"I promise," she nodded, pulling back.
"And keep him in line. He'll try to get away with stuff if you let him, but don't, ok?"
"Ok," she smiled.
"Ok," Kelly gave her arm a gentle squeeze. "Why don't you finish getting dressed, and I'm gonna go make sure Ashley isn't completely raiding your liquor cabinet."

Carrie giggled through the phone.
"Care, come on...I'm gonna have nightmares," Kelly grumbled. "I mean, I walk in, and they're like sucking each other's face off."
"I'm sure it wasn't that bad," Carrie soothed through a laugh.
"It was awful," Kelly shook her head.
"Kell...don't you think you're being a little dramatic?"
"No."
"Are you not happy that Kate's out tonight having a good time and not worrying about the whole mess with Jill?"
"Of course I'm happy about that."
"And are you not happy that Jason is on a date with a very sweet girl?"
"Yea, yea...ok, fine, you win..."
Carrie smiled, "So how was the rest of you day before that traumatic experience?"
"Ok, now you're just making fun of you."
"Only because you're cute when you're like this."
"You totally use me for my cuteness..."
"Mmm, among other things..."
Kelly grinned, sitting up, "Oh yea?"
"I wish I were there so I could show you..."
"You could always tell me."
Carrie giggled, "Don't think I forgot how you hung up on me the last time we tried that."
Kelly laughed, "Yea, I was hoping you didn't remember."
Carrie giggled again.
"I love your laugh."
"So did you have fun at the hospital today?" Carrie blushed.
"Yea, I did. I got to hang out with Luke."
"Oh yea? How's he doing?"
"He is in full remission."
"Kell, that's great," Carrie replied excitedly.
"Yea, he's moving back to Washington on Thursday."
"Like the state?"
"Yea...he asked me to take him to Alex's grave today so he can say goodbye."
"I'm sorry, baby. I wish I could've been there. Are you ok?"
"Yea, just bummed."
"Hey, why don't we throw a little going away party at the hospital for him and his parents...you know give a chance for all the kids and doctors to say goodbye for a good reason."
"That's a really good idea, Care. I'll call tomorrow and talk them about it," Kelly replied. "What about you? Good day?"
"Yep, I perform tomorrow night, and I hop on a plane the next morning, so I'm really excited. I'm having a blast hanging with my band and everything, but I miss you so much, Kell. I honestly can't wait to hold you again, and kiss you, and whisper in your ear how much I love you."
"I love you too, Care," Kelly smiled. "I can't wait to see you."
"So are you planning on staying up, waiting for your brother to get back?"
"Absolutely," Kelly nodded.
"And if he brings Kate back, and you hear them..."
"Ok, that's not funny."
Carrie laughed, "I'm sorry."
"You're going to bed?"
"I'll stay up and keep you company if you want."
"You should get some sleep. You have a show tomorrow. You need your rest."
"Kell?"
"Yea?"
"Would you rather I stay up and talk to you or go to sleep?"
Kelly sighed, "I'm so selfish."
"That's what I thought," Carrie smiled.
"So tell me all about your day today," Kelly laid down under the covers of her bed getting comfortable. "I wanna hear all about it."
