Rusty had gotten a nice sleep after his red eye flight from Los Angeles to Orlando. He rested on the couch in Aaron's room. Aaron slept in his bed. Aidan was staying with Jennifer and Sarah Jo.

"What do you have for Breakfast?" Rusty asked as Aaron was waking up, "For a place of this size, it's rather spartan."

"Not sure," Aaron said, "I've not been a bachelor since we were in the Frat, you know?"

"I understand," Rusty said, "I woke up a while ago, and while I was, I went to the shop here and bought you some groceries. Hope that helps."

"Thanks, Rusty," Aaron smiled, "I appreciate that. Jennifer bought some, but she took most of them when she went to room with Sarah Jo."

"Speaking of which," Rusty said, "let's go meet this person that your vicious ex-wife has convinced to join her Aaron bashing cause."

With that, the two went down to the lobby, and saw Aidan playing in the video arcade. The thought of Aidan being left alone infuriated Aaron.

Damn your recklessness, woman! Aaron seethed, You're working in your office, while you leave Aidan alone! That leaves him a sitting duck for kidnapping!

"DADDY!" he yelled, running to him.

"Hey slugger," Aaron smiled, hiding his anger for Jennifer, while hugging his little boy close, "how are ya?"

"Better," Aidan said, "Unca Rusty! I'm glad to see you too."

"Hey champ," Rusty smiled, ruffling his hair, "how are you doing?"

"Better, as I told Daddy," Aidan said, "I was running a temp for a few days. I took some medicines."

"Good," Aaron smiled, "where's Rufus?"

"I'll get him," Aidan said, and ran into the arcade.

"Who the hell does she think that she is?" Rusty hissed, "leaving him in the arcade alone while she's in her office? Doesn't she have any sense?!"

"Obviously she doesn't," Aaron said quietly, "let's not let on we know, it could rattle Aidan, here he comes."

"Here's Rufus," Aidan said coming out of the arcade, showing his bear to Rusty.

"And a fine bear he is!" Rusty smiled, "where's your mommy?"

"Mommy is working in her office, right now," Aidan said, "She had me go to the arcade when she went to work."

"I see," Rusty said, hiding his irritation of Jennifer for Aidan's benefit, "well, we'll find your mommy and we'll talk to her about that. Meanwhile, Daddy will take you back to his room."

"I'm worried about what Mommy will do," Aidan whimpered. While he was resting, he had heard Jennifer and Sarah Jo gloating about their little scheme. " I don't wanna see you hurt, Daddy."

"Daddy won't be hurt, slugger," Aaron reassured his son, "I promise you that."

"Your Daddy's right, Aidan," Joan Ferguson said, "And you don't worry, Aaron, I will not say anything to Jennifer or Sarah Jo."

"Thank you, Ms. Ferguson," Aaron said, "Rusty, this is Joan Ferguson, the assistant manager of the Futura resort. This is my best friend, and the guy I am hoping to be with, Rusty Brown."

"Nice to meet you," Joan said, "now I can place a face with the name."

"Come on, little guy," Aaron said, hoisting his son up, "let's go to my room."

As Aaron took a giggling Aidan to his room, Sarah Jo choose to come out of her office and saw Rusty for the first time since they were in college.

"Who the hell are you?" she sneered.

"Don't you remember me?" Rusty spat at her, "I am hurt! But I am someone who can equal the odds that you and the other bitch have tipped against Aaron!"

"Sarah, what is...." Jennifer came out, and was shocked, "Oh my God! I should have guessed, what the hell are you doing here, Rusty?"

"Trying to get Aaron a fair shake, little miss reckless," Rusty said, "something you know absolutely nothing about!"

"How I treat Aaron is none of your damned business," Jennifer looked daggers at Rusty, "and you will leave this premises or I will call the police!"

"You stupid bitch!" Rusty said angrily, "Still the same arrogant drama queen you always were back in college!"

Just then, Aaron returned to the lobby, after getting Aidan settled to watch some cartoons.

"Where is Aidan, you bastard?!" Jennifer screamed, "I want him down here immediately!"

"He is safe," Aaron said coldly, "He is in my room, watching some cartoons on TV!"

"You get him down here, so he can go to Sarah's room!" Jennifer ordered.

"Not on your damned life, bitch!" Rusty snapped, "For once in your life, you aren't going to be calling the shots here!"

"Says who?!" Jennifer raged, "You!? The man who wrecked my marriage?!"

"Shut up, you damned shrew!" Rusty snapped back at her, his hatred of Jennifer evident, "Can't you ever stop blaming everyone else for your own problems?! I swear, you are the most thin-skinned person there ever was! Jennifer Barrett is always the innocent, she never does anything wrong, while everyone else is trying to undermine her."

"Stop it," Joan said, "this is not good for anyone, least of all Aidan."

Jennifer stormed back to her office, Rusty turned to Sarah Jo.

"Well, I see the bitch had someone to help her through the rough time of divorce," he said not unkindly, though the words were ferocious, "don't you ever get tired of picking up the pieces for little Miss Reckless?"

Sarah Jo couldn't say anything. Rusty was telling the truth. She really was getting tired of picking up the pieces for Jennifer and her recklessness.

Rusty looked at Sarah Jo, he caught the look of confusion, even she was beginning to wise up to Jennifer and her reckless ways.

"Maybe you're right, Rusty," she conceded, "I don't know what to think anymore."

"I'm not mad at you, though, I was at first," Rusty said civilly, "I'm more mad at Jennifer than anyone else. But that is neither here or there. I would like to check in, if it can be arranged, I would like to room with Aaron."

Sarah Jo nodded, "I don't see why not," she said.

"Over my dead body!" Jennifer screamed, storming from the office, "I don't want that piece of shit here!"

"Again, Jennifer," Rusty screamed back, tired of Jennifer's always giving orders, "this time, you aren't calling the shots! You've done that way too much already!"

"This place is so big, you won't have to see one another," Aaron said, "I am all right with it. Jennifer, you stay with Sarah Jo and Rusty can stay with me. And of course, Aidan is staying with Jennifer and Sarah Jo."

Sarah Jo nodded, Aaron had come up with some reasonable solution. In spite of herself, she found herself drawn to Aaron and his friend. I think I was on the wrong side in this all along, she thought, Maybe Aaron DID cheat on her, but maybe by her actions and her recklessness, she DROVE him to it.

"Aaron's right, Jennifer," she said, "this is a very extensive resort and you won't have to see Rusty. The guys will be in their room, and you can remain with me in my suite. Aidan will be there too."

Jennifer conceded that reluctantly. I want him OUT of this place, she thought viciously, I want things MY way or NO way at all!

The two groups walked to their separate rooms.

Rusty shot Jennifer a nasty look, while she shot him an equally nasty look.

For once in your life, Jennifer Barrett, Rusty thought as he and Aaron walked up to his room, You will find out that you are NOT the queen that you think you are. I snared Elixir from you and Aaron, although it killed me to do that to my best friend. I've hated you from day one, Jennifer, and you will be finished! Believe me, you will be FINISHED!

Meanwhile, Sarah Jo was having her own conflicting thoughts.

I could be in trouble for what Jennifer and her lawyer convinced me to do, she thought, I am beginning to see that Rusty and Aaron were both right about her. Jennifer IS becoming more and more reckless. Maybe I should help Aaron. Despite all the hatred over the years, I DO like him. I know he is bi, and it never bothered me. I know it bothered Jennifer, and she never hid her disdain for that. Rusty didn't like me, and I didn't give him any reason TO like me. Maybe I can change that.
