The Scenes That Keep on Giving

"So, are you enjoying your birthday party?"

Mack just smiled as he swallowed the bite of cake Jodie, sitting in his lap, had just forked into his mouth.

"Actually, yes. Usually, I hate surprise parties, and I'd rather be alone with you, but having all these people here" - he gestured to the small mob of Lawndale High students milling about the Landon house - "is kind of fun."

"I'm glad," she said with a smile, then kissed him.

Suddenly, there was a minor comotion. The various party goers were reacting to something, muttering to themselves. Mack and Jodie both strained to see what it was.

Then they saw it.

"Oh, God," Mack moaned, "Please, God, no."

Daria pulled back with a smirk on her face. "Jodie, I kissed your boyfriend."

Jane shook her head with a sad sigh. "Dangit, he did another one."
