Title: Good Times At Miami High Author: Me.... and with the help of others! Fandom: All the CSIs Pairing: Ummm if I told you it would kind of ruin the story... but it's mostly the characters and OC pairings Rating: PG13 Warnings: This story may cause you to pee your pants... Fair warning Disclaimer: If I did own them I would be in the series!! Summary:What would happen if our favorite CSIs and favorite people went to high school together? I'm sure it would be one wild time! Let's find out... Shall we?
“Another day, another school year,” Niki yawned.
“You can say that again,” Sarry agreed.
Allie chimed in, “Now I have to spend my days doing homework!”
“Not cool!” Lauren finished.
Sierra looked over to where the buses were letting the loser who actually took the bus off.
“Hey look!” She said, “It’s our two favorite froshy’s!”
Lilly and Kelly had noticed the group the group of girls standing in a circle. Kelly ran right over to them, but Lilly got a little distracted.
“Hi guys!” Kelly smiled, “Excited about the first day of school?”
Caitie just gave her a glare, “You’re joking right?”
“Give her a break,” Katie said, “She’s a freshmen, what does she know?”
“Hey Lollipop!” Niki shouted, “They aren’t leaving!” They where all the guys that Lilly was drooling over.
“But come on,” Lilly whined, “Just look at…” Lilly never finished her sentence. Archie had just walked by her.
“Looks like we found the next Niagara Falls!” Niki laughed.
All the girls laughed, except for Lilly. She was to busy drooling over Archie. Finally he walked away, which brought Lilly back to reality.
“Who was that?” She asked.
Niki rolled her eyes, “That was Archie Johnson, sophomore, and a Libra.”
“Really?” Lilly’s eyes widen.
Niki just chuckled, “Well I’m not to sure if he is a Libra, but everything else is true.”
“Oh my god, Niki, you have to set me up with him! Please!” She begged.
“I’ll see what I can do,” She said.
“Oh man,” Sarry shouted, “Look who is walking by!”
All the girls turned around to see Nick Stokes walking by. Every girl began to whistle or make some sort of noise, except Allie, Lauren, and Niki.
“Ew! Gross! Not cool!” The three shouted at the same time.
“Is it our fault that your brother is hot?!?” Adri asked.
“No, but can’t you whistle at him when we aren’t here?” Lauren asked.
Sarry smiled, “But that takes the fun out of it,”
Just then Ryan Wolfe walked pass the group of girls. They began to ‘Wolfe’ whistles and shout. After he walked by Allie turned to Adri and asked, “So do you like the way it feels?”
“I hate it when you guys are right!” She whined.
Before anyone could say anything else, the first bell rang. They girls said their good-byes and started making their way to their classes.
The front school yard had cleared and there was only one soul left outside. Greg Sanders. Greg had just arrived to school and was making is way to the principle’s office. When he got there the lady at the front desk told him just to head right on in. He knocked on the door and walked in. Two men were standing by the desk talking about the usual. Whatever that is?
“Um hi,” Greg mumbled, “I’m Greg Sanders.”
“Oh hello there,” The one with black hair said, “I’m Principle Stetler and this is Vice- Principle Ecklie.”
“You are probably here to get your schedule,” Ecklie said, “Well here it is. Now move along and I hope not to see too much off you,”
Greg grabbed his schedule and booked it out of there. He read over his schedule to figure out where he was supposed to be. Greg wasn’t paying attention to where he was going and neither was Niki, who was speed walking down the hall, looking over her shoulder. Before the two realized where they were going they ran right into each other.
“Ouch!” Greg moaned.
“Oh my god,” Niki started, “I am so sorry! I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going. I’m trying to get away from this guy, John, he is such a perv and a jerk, but I totally hottie. But I have no desire to talk to him right now. And I have no idea why I am telling you all this when I don’t even know who you are. Oh wait! You are the kid who moved into that house!”
“Well most people live in houses,” Greg said.
Niki shook her head, “No I mean that house that was for sell. It’s a block or two from my house. So if you just moved here then you are the new kid! Whoa this is the first time I met the new kid all by myself. Usually someone has to show me who he or she is, but this time I ran into you first! Literally!”
“Do you always talk this much?” Greg asked.
“Well I don’t think I talk a lot, I mean I get in trouble for talking, but that’s because I have a lot to say! I mean come on there are something’s that people need to know!” Niki rumbled, “So what’s your name? I feel like I’m doing all the talking.”
“Well that’s cause you are,” Greg joked, “And I’m Greg Sanders.”
“I’m Niki Stokes,” She said, “So what’s your first period class?”
Greg handed her his schedule. She read it over and then said, “Awesome we have some classes together! And we have Biology together! What time is it?”
“It’s 7:28,” Greg said looking at his phone, “Why what time does class start?”
“If we don’t start running now, then we are in big trouble!” Niki grabbed Greg’s wrist and starting running toward the biology room. The seconds were ticking away. The second bell rang and Niki and Greg sprinted through the doorway into the class. Grissom peered over his glasses at the two trying to catch their breath.
“Late on the first day off school Ms. Stokes,” Grissom said.
“I am not late!” She defended, “I walked in while the bell was ringing! This means I was on time! Not late, but not early either!”
“You always have an answer for everything,” Grissom shook his head, “Just take your seat,”
Niki and Greg faced the class. Kat, H, Cath, Sarry, and Ryan started waving Niki over.
“Looks like those guys are waving you over,” Greg said.
“Thanks Captain Obvious!” She said sarcastically, “You want to come sit with us?”
“Nah,” He said, “You go sit with them,”
“Alright” Niki smiled, “Oh and after your history class wait for me! We’ll walk to English together!” Niki ran to the back with her friends.
Greg looked around and found an open seat.
“Dude why didn’t you sit with her?” The kid next to Greg asked. Greg just gave him a look.
“Archie Johnson,” He said, “Man, she is hot and popular and totally digging you and you turned her down?!? What is wrong with you?!?”
“Greg Sanders,” Greg said, “Her friends kind of scared me,”
Archie laughed, “Good reason. Kat and Cath are the Senior Cheerleading Captains. H is just the man. Sarry is a junior who is dating the quarterback. Ryan is a junior who is an insane track runner.”
Greg just laughed. The two stopped talking and started paying attention to Grissom.
Since it was a half day and the first day of school none of the classes had to get changed for Gym. Most of the freshmen were stuck with first period Gym. Kelly and Lilly were part of those most.
“I hate first period Gym!” Lilly whined.
Kelly rolled her eyes, “Stop complaining. Man there are no hot guys!”
“Oh and I complain,” Lilly laughed.
First period had ended and then second period began. Soon enough second period had ended and it was now time for third period.
Greg was looking up and down the hallway for Niki. He never thought to look behind him.
“Boo,” She whispered in his ear.
Greg jumped, “Whoa don’t scare me like that!”
“Sorry,” She laughed, “You ready for sophomore English with Ms Bonasera?”
“As ready as I’ll ever be,” Greg asked.
The two walked to the classroom in silence. When the finally got there they had time to spare, unlike the last class they had together. Before the bell even rang Ms Bonasera had everyone in seats.
“Okay class,” She started, “I noticed we have some new faces, so I decided that we are going to play a game.”
“I love games!” Adri shouted.
“Okay I want everyone to say their names and something about themselves. Okay?”
The class nodded, “Alright, Adri since you love games you can start,”
“Okay,” She started, “I’m Adri Wolfe and I play soccer, I swim, and I do track. Oh and I’m unfortunately related to Ryan Wolfe.”
“I’ll go, I’m Katie Davis and I am a cheerleader!”
“I’m Eric Delko and I’m on the football team and baseball.”
“Caitie Jacobs, not the sporty kind of girl, but I have a sister named Sierra!”
“Lauren Stokes! Twin sister to Niki Stokes and I play soccer and softball!”
“Hi I’m Allie Stokes; obviously you can tell who I’m related to. I play soccer and cheerlead!”
“Hey I’m Nick Jonas and I love playing music!”
“Hello I’m Sheldon Hawkes, but please call me Hawkes,”
“I am David Hodges, and…”
“Yea I’m Wendy Simms, and I know I just totally cut you off Hodges, chill!”
“Hi I am Maxine Valera, Valera or Maxine is fine,”
“Hey I’m Archie Johnson and I’m insane when it comes to computers!”
“Hey I’m Niki Stokes. Yes I am part of the Stokes’ family which includes Nick. I play soccer and cheerlead. I love acting and surfer and…”
“Niki no need to tell us your whole life story!” Caitie said. Niki just glared at her.
“Well I guess that leaves me, I’m Greg Sanders and I’m from San Gabriel, California,”
Finally the bell rang and it was time for lunch. Greg walked out of the room and started making his way toward his locker.
“Yo Sanders!” A voice shouted, “Wait up!”
Niki ran up to Greg and said, “You ready for lunch, the real jungle?”
“You make it sound so much fun!” Greg said sarcastically.

Well looky what we have here... lunch time. Let's find out how it works out for our high schoolers...
Niki and Greg entered the lunch room full of people. It was buzzing with noise cause every table was talking about something. Greg looked from table to table.
“So do you want me to give you a little introduction to how lunch works at Miami-Dade High?” Niki asked.
“Sure,” Greg shrugged.
“Well, that table is for the jocks and the cheerleaders. That’s Kat Lewis, Catherine Willows, and some other football jerks. Oh and Horatio Caine sits there to, but only cause he is dating Kat. That table has the jocks, but the smart ones. Like Warrick Brown, Don Flack, Ryan Wolfe, Eric Delko, and Nick Stokes. That table is like the nerds or not that popular people. That includes, Archie Johnson, Wendy Simms, Maxine Valera, Bobby Dawson, and David Hodges. And that table is the one I usually sit at. It has Caitie and Sierra Jacobs, Adri Wolfe, Katie Davis, Sarry Miller, Lauren and Allie Stokes, Nick Jonas, Lauren’s boyfriend, and two froshy’s Lilly Thomas and Kelly Higgins.” Niki said all in one breathe.
Greg just stared at her.
“Yea I know, lunch is very complicated,” She laughed, “So you want to sit with me?”
“Nah,” He said, “I’ll go sit with the nerds and not as popular people,”
“Are you sure?” Niki asked.
“Yea I’m sure. So see you in Chem.?”
“Yeppers!” Niki laughed. The two parted ways and went to their tables.
Before Niki could sit down Adri was already begging Niki to do something for her.
“Niki can you please try to set me up with Flack!” She begged.
Niki rolled her eyes, “You have to like the one guy that my brother is friends with that I’m not really friends with. Jeezs!”
“Come on!” Adri whined, “Please, please, please!”
“Fine,” Niki gave in, “I’ll see what I can do,” The girls then began to talk about every guy they had seen today, old and new.
Ryan looked over at the table where his sister sat. He noticed that they were all leaned in talking about something, but what. “Man I wish I knew what girls were talking about,” Ryan moaned.
Warrick jumped in, “Man if I knew that I’d have every girl in school,”
Flack and Eric nodded. Nick laughed at the guy’s pathetic ness. Having three younger sisters he could figure girls out.
“Obviously they are talking about us,” Nick started, “Niki, Allie, and Lauren are making fun of your name, Flack, and Adri is trying to make them stop. Katie is telling Caitie about you, Eric. Sarry is telling Sierra about me, and the two freshmen are most likely talking about any guy,”
“That’s scary,” Flack said.
“Yea,” Nick shrugged, “I blame my sisters,”
Over at the table with the cheerleaders and the jerky jocks, Kat and Catherine were talking about the new kid.
“So that new kid definitely has a thing for Niki!” Cath gossiped.
“You think,” Kat laughed, “He was drooling over her!”
“Who’s drooling over Niki?” John interrupted.
“The new kid, Greg Sanders,” Kat said pointing to him. John got up from the table and started heading toward Greg.
“Are you Greg Sanders?” John asked, well more demanded.
“Yea,” Greg said, “What’s it to ya?”
John grabbed Greg by the collar of his shirt and lifted him of the ground.
“Whoa John is picking on the new kid,” Sarry said.
“Oh sh!t!” Niki said and ran to the two boys. When she got there so stood in the flirtiest position possible and said, “Hey John,” as flirty as possible.
“Hey Niki,” John smiled, while lowering Greg a little.
“What are doing?’ She asked, still trying to sound like she was flirting.
John looked from Greg to Niki, “I was about to punch this kid in the face,”
“Oh,” Niki pouted.
“What’s wrong?” John asked, lowering Greg enough so that he could stand on tip-toe.
Niki swayed back and forth and said, “I was wondering if you wanted to come for a walk with me?”
When Niki said that John dropped Greg to the floor and wrapped his arm around Niki’s waist. As they began to walk away Niki turned her head and mouthed to Greg, “You owe me BIG time!”
The students all went back to their seats, upset that there wasn’t a fight.
“Man I was really hoping for a fight!” Adri whined.
“That’s mean! He is the new kid!” Sarry defended Greg.
“Poor Niki, now she is stuck with the creep John,” Sierra said.
“Well she didn’t have to save Greg’s butt,” Nick J. said.
“Yea but he’s the new kid he doesn’t need to be beat up on the first day of school,” Lauren sided with Sierra.
Sierra was going to say something when Jake Berkeley walked by. “Hey Jake,” She waved.
Jake just gave her a smile and a wink. Sierra melted in her seat.
“Sierra stop drooling!” Caitie said, “Drool does not work for you!”
Sierra gave a slight smile. Finally lunch was over and it was time for sixth period. Sixth period ended and it was now seventh. Greg found Niki standing in a circle with Sarry, Nick, Sierra, Eric, and Lauren.
“Hey Niki,” He said.
“Greg!” She shouted, “Just the person I want to talk to,” Greg just gave her a look.
“I texted my cousin who lives in San Gabriel and she knew who you where and say that you were a master prankster. So where are the pranks?”
“Um,” Greg said, “I don’t know,”
“Well,” She smiled, “If you pull a prank on Mr. Taylor, then you have more balls then I thought,” “You’re on,” Greg said shaking Niki’s hand.
The bell rang and the students walked into the classroom. Greg walked passed Mr. Taylor’s desk and dropped the whoopee cushion on his seat. Mr. Taylor began talking about him, the class and all that boring stuff. Mac was leaning on his desk talking to the class. *Crap* Greg thought, *Time to improvise* Greg found the pen flashlight thing he had and blinked it a couple times in Mr. Taylor’s face.
“Whoa,” Mr. Taylor said.
“Are you okay?” Niki asked, seeing what Greg had done, “I think you need to sit down,”
Mac agreed with his student and sat down. When he hit the chair the whoopee cushion did its job very nicely. The class burst out laughing. Mac’s face was as red as an apple. His face started as horrified, but then went to anger.
“Okay who is the wise guy that left this on my chair?” Mr. Taylor asked, holding the whoopee cushion.
Before any one could say anything the bell rang and everyone ran out of the room.
“I’m impressed,” Niki smiled.
Greg smiled back, “Well if it wasn’t for you I don’t think I could have got Mr. Taylor to sit down. So where are we off to now?”
“Gym,” She said, “And it’s going to be beast cause we have all the athletic people in our class!”
Greg just gulped. He was never one for sports. Well it wasn’t his fault; his parent just wouldn’t let him play any sports.
The second bell had rung and Mac’s next Chemistry class entered the room. He was still angry about the prank from the class before. So he took his anger out on the class. Adri was telling Caitie, Katie, and Allie how awesome Flack is. Mac was tired of hearing this and shouted, “Ms Wolfe please stop talking about your love life! I could care less!”
Adri sunk in her seat, “I’m sorry Mr. Taylor,”
“Okay class,” Mr. Taylor started, “I want you to write an essay on why Chemistry is important. Oh you can thank the class before you for that,”
“What?!?” The class shouted.
“Oh and it better be good,” Mac threatened, “Now get to work!” The class did as they were told and got straight to work. Mac just smiled to himself knowing full well he wasn’t going to collect the paper or doing anything with it. He just liked the idea of scaring them.
In Gym Nick, Warrick, Ryan, Flack, Eric, Lauren, Greg, and Niki were playing basketball. Frank Tripp and Jim Brass, the Gym teachers, were reefing the game cause sometimes it got out of control. Nick was going up for a lay-up when Niki pushed him to the ground. Nick was on his butt and dropped the ball. Warrick picked it and dunked it in the opposite net.
“And that’s how it’s done!” Niki boasted.
“That was such a foal!” Nick complained.
Brass and Tripp rolled their eyes, “Maybe we should end this game now,” Frank said.
“Yea,” Jim added, “Before it gets really ugly!”
All the players moaned, except Greg, he was glad the game was over.
“So Nick, you ready for the big game this Friday?” Eric asked.
“You better believe it!” Nick said, “I’ve been waiting for this all year!”
“We are going to kick some major a*s this year!” Warrick added.
“What are they talking about?” Greg whispered to Niki.
“The season opener!” Lauren answered. Greg just started at her.
“For football,” Niki answered, “After school there is going to be a huge pep rally and then at 7 is kick off,”
“Oh,” Greg nodded.
“You are coming right?” Lauren asked.
“Um,” Greg moaned.
Niki smiled, “I’ve got an idea, you are defiantly coming to the pep rally! And before the game starts, you are coming to our house so I can get you ready for your first Panthers game!”
“Who are the Panthers?” Greg asked.
“Are you stupid?” Ryan asked, “We are the Panthers!”
Greg blushed. How could he forget something like that?
“Cut the G some slack,” Nick said, “He is probably thinking of other pranks to pull. I liked the one you pulled on Taylor by the way,”
“Yea that was pretty sweet!” Flack added.
“Thanks,” Greg smiled. He couldn’t believe the actually liked his prank. It was so old school.
“So,” Niki started, “Are you going to come?”
Greg thought about it for a second, “Yea sure why not!”

Football America's past time... let us enjoy it...
Miami High was buzzing with excitement. Tonight was the season opener. The cheerleaders had all left their eighth period class early to get ready for the pep rally. Kat and Catherine were getting their team ready to impress the school. Last year the two captains didn’t do that awesome of a job and the cheerleaders weren’t that great. Cath and Kat were ready to show everyone how awesome the team was going to be this year, until the realized two people were missing.
“Where are Gina and Lila?” Cath demanded.
“They weren’t in school today,” Katie mumbled.
“What?!?” Kat shouted, “The first pep rally of the year and they aren’t here!”
“Why don’t you just get Niki and Allie to fill in for them?” Katie suggested.
Cath thought about it, “Well we could use the basketball half time dance. They know that one and it is pretty good,”
Kat sighed, “Fine. Niki has gym now and Allie has Chemistry. Someone go get them!”
Two cheerleaders left the group to find Niki and Allie. This was not how Kat pictured her first pep rally as captain to go.
Adri, Lauren, Nick J, Caitie, Lilly, Kelly, Sarry, and Sierra were all standing in the front of the crowd. Adri turned her head to see Ryan and the other guys wondering around.
“Hey Ry!” She shouted, “Get over here!”
Ryan saw his sister and got the attention of his friends. They ran over to the girls. Nick stood behind Sarry, Eric pushed his way to the front to see Katie, Ryan stood between Caitie and Sierra, Warrick stood next to Nick, and Greg stood next to Warrick.
“I hear they had to change the dance at the last second,” Adri gossiped.
Nick rolled his eyes, “That’s cause two cheerleaders aren’t here today, so Niki and Allie had to fill in,”
“Niki’s a cheerleader?” Greg questioned, “I didn’t see her as the type,”
Before anyone could say anything else the cheerleaders ran out. The uniforms were red and black thick stripes that crossed, with “PANTHERS” written in red and outlined with black. Their red skirts were short, but cute. Each girl took the spot and get ready for the music to start. The routine’s music was a mix of Low; Crank That; and a bunch of other songs. The cheerleaders didn’t miss a beat. During Low, when it goes “Shawty got low, low, low, low…” the cheerleaders went down into splits on each low. All the guys moaned in pain. Finally the routine was over and Kat shouted, “You better be at the season opener tonight!” The crowd agreed. Who would want to miss this game?
Niki was in her and Lauren’s room listening to Boys Like Girls “Hero/Heroine”
“I got a closet filled up to the brim,” Niki sang, “With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons,”
Greg walked into the room with Lauren and Nick J. Niki didn’t her the door open and kept singing, “And I don’t know why you’d even try, but I won’t lie. You caught me off guard,”
“Yea we sure did catch you off guard,” Nick J. laughed.
Niki jumped, “Well um… Hi!”
Greg smiled, “Whoa I didn’t expect you to be a good singer,”
“Thanks, it doesn’t run in the family,” Niki laughed. Lauren glared at her.
“Where are Sparky and Spanky?” Lauren asked.
“Sparky! Spanky!” Niki called, “Sparks! Spanks!”
Soon after Niki called, two Border collie puppies came running into the room. Sparky jump into Lauren’s arms and Spanky jumped into Niki’s. Greg looked back and forth from one puppy to another. They looked exactly alike.
“How can you tell who’s who?” Greg asked.
“Spanky has the white ear and blue right eye,” Nick J. said, “And Sparky has the blue left eye,”
“And Niki and I have a special bond with our babies,” Lauren said scratching Sparky’s head.
~Flashback~
Lauren and Niki were in eighth grade and Nick was a freshmen. They were wondering the beach when something caught Niki’s eye.
“Puppies!” She screeched and went running over to them. Lauren followed closely behind.
“Don’t touch them!” Nick yelled, “They could have rabies or some other diseases!”
That didn’t stop them. Niki had the one with the white ear in her arms and Lauren had the other.
“Nick can we please keep them!” Niki and Lauren begged. They held the two puppies to their puppy dog faces. Nick normally couldn’t handle two puppy dog faces, but four, that melted the heart.
“How can I say no, fine you can keep them,” Nick sighed, “But I get to name the one with the white ear Spanky!”
~End Flashback~
Niki was staring at Greg trying to figure out what was wrong. Finally it hit her; she started rummaging through her closet. While rummaging she said, “Greg talk off your shirt,”
Greg’s jaw dropped, “You want me to what?”
Niki got out from the closet, “Take off your shirt. What don’t you understand?”
Lauren laughed, “Yea Nick take off your shirt too!” Nick J. began to laugh with Lauren.
“That’s not what I meant!” Niki defended, “I mean take it off so he could put this shirt on!” The new shirt was a t-shirt that had “PANTHERS” in big black letters and a panther attacking the letters.
“Laur, I need you to get the red and black spray paint,” Niki ordered.
“Spray paint?” Greg questioned.
“Duh!” Niki chuckled, “I’m going to spray paint your hair!”
Lauren came back upstairs and through the cans at Niki. Niki started with the red and sprayed half of Greg’s hair, and then she sprayed the other half black.
“Beautiful,” Niki said, obviously proud of her work, “Now you are ready for a Panthers game, but I’m not.”
Niki shoved Greg out of the room so she could get ready. Five minutes later Niki walked out of the room.
“That’s what you’re wearing to the game?!?” Greg gawked.
Niki laughed, “All the soccer players have to wear a sports bra that says Panthers and soffe shorts that have the paw prints on the butt. And write the number of one of the football players on the stomach. It’s tradition,”
“So you guys ready to go?” Lauren asked wearing the same outfit as Niki.
“Yeppers!” Niki said for everyone.
The game was exciting! The Panthers were losing by 3 points with two minutes left in the fourth quarter. Panthers had possession of the ball on their 15 yard line. Niki and Sarry were on the edge of the stands. They always got the most into the games.
“Cute butt, cute butt, he’s our man if he can’t do it no one can!” Sarry began to cheer. The other girls joined in on Sarry’s chant.
Niki, Lauren, Allie were shouting, “Come on Nick! Show them how it’s done!”
The snap was good but the defense ran a blitz. They sacked Nick at the Panthers 14. The Panther side moaned in unison.
“Are you going to take that Nick?!?” Sarry and Niki both shouted.
Nick huddled up his offence. Warrick was his wide receiver and together those two could get through anything.
“Alright guys,” Nick started, “I know this is dangerous but I’m going to Hail Mary it. Rick it’s going to you,”
“Don’t worry,” Warrick reassured the players, “I got it,”
The team broke from their huddle and took their positions on the line. Nick looked at the scoreboard, only 56 seconds left.
“Blue 42, hut, hut, hike!” Nick shouted. The snap was good. He took a few shuffles back to survey the field. Finally he saw Warrick. Nick threw the ball as far as he could.
“Oh crap,” Niki said, “He Hail Mary it,”
“Dude,” Greg said getting into the game, “Warrick better catch it!”
Warrick’s eyes never left the football. The clock was now at 47. Finally Warrick caught it on the 50 yard line.
“Run Warrick!” The Panthers crowd shouted. And Warrick did just that. He ran as fast as he possible could. Not daring to look at the clock. No one in the crowd dared to breathe or look.
“Ah!” Niki screamed, “He made it! We win!”
The football players all ran to Warrick and Nick. The Panthers were jumping up and down in the stands singing, “We are the Panthers! Yes we are! We are the Panthers! Rawr, Rawr, Rawr!”
Allie, Lauren, Sarry, Niki, and Greg were waiting in the parking lot for Nick. Finally Nick walked out of the locker rooms and into the parking lot. Sarry walked up to her hero and gave him a kiss.
“Ew! Gross!” Niki, Lauren, and Allie all said in unison.
“Well if that’s how you are going to be, then you three aren’t going to the beach,” Nick teased.
“Come on!” Niki whined.
Lauren added, “You can’t do that!”
“It’s tradition!” Allie protested.
“You wouldn’t want to break tradition, now would you Nicky boy,” Sarry finished.
Nick put his hands up in defense, “I was only kidding!”
“Hold on,” Greg jumped in, “Why are we going to the beach and why is it tradition?”
“Are you retarded?” Allie asked.
“No,” Greg shook his head, “Just new,”
“Well after every game we win, the players and crowd go to the beach and hang out,” Niki said.
“Yea we have like bonfires and roast marshmallows!” Lauren added.
“Hurry up and get in the car!” Nick said from the driver seat, “Or I’m going to leave you guys here!”
Lauren, Allie, Niki, and Greg jumped in the car. Who would want to miss the beach? You know you can’t mess with tradition.

Party at the beach! Whoot whoot! Party at the beach!
“Everybody put up your hands. Say I don’t wanna be in love,” Niki sang, “I don’t wanna be in love.”
“Niki, stop singing every single song on the radio!” Allie complained.
Niki rolled her eyes, “Look I’m sorry, that you’re jealous of my awesome voice and that I like a wide variety of music,”
Allie just rolled her eyes. Nick got the hint and turned down the radio.
“Fine I see how it is,” Niki spat, “So I’m hoping that the water isn’t too cold,”
“Water?” Greg questioned.
“You know that blue stuff that you can drink and that 75% of the Earth is covered with,” Lauren laughed.
Greg shook his head, “No I mean, like, we’re going swimming? Cause I don’t have a bathing suit,”
“Then wear one of Nick’s,” Sarry said from the front seat.
“Well, um,” Greg mumbled, “Nick and I aren’t really the same size,”
“It’s going to be dark, not like anyone is going to see anything!” Niki laughed.
“That’s reassuring,”
Niki smiled, “I’m glad I could help you out!”
They had finally arrived to the beach and Niki, Nick J., and Lauren went running to the water before Nick even parked the car.
“Imagine if this was a nude beach,” Nick J whispered to Lauren.
“We could go skinny dipping!” Lauren shouted just loud enough that Niki could hear it.
“Ewww keep your cloths on!” Niki shouted back to them. Niki felt the water then ran back to her brother. “Niiiiiick!” She whined, “Where is my board?”
“In the trunk of my car,” Nick rolled his eyes, “Where you left it.”
Niki ran to the trunk and grabbed her surf board. Then she ran back to the water’s edge.
“There is no way you are going surfing young lady!” Nick protested.
“There are sharks!” Greg added.
Niki laughed, “There are always sharks out there, and I’ll be fine! Chill!” And with that she paddled out.
Back on the beach Lilly and Kelly were following Archie like a dog on a leash. Well, Lilly made Kelly follow with her.
“How can he not notice that we are following him?” Kelly wondered.
“I don’t care! Makes it easier for me to follow him!” Lilly said.
Kelly shook her head, “And why am I following him with you? I don’t even like him!”
Lilly smiled, “Cause you are my best friend, and best friends follow cute guys together!”
Sierra was sitting on the log watching everyone build the bonfire. She thought about helping but she had just gotten her nails done. Suddenly she felt someone sit next to her. Sierra looked up to be face to face with Jake.
“You come to these things?” She asked.
Jake shrugged, “I like the beach,”
Sierra shivered. Not because she was cold, because she was seating next to Jake. Jake noticed, “Are you cold?”
Sierra nodded. Jake took off his jacket and placed it over her shoulders. Sierra tried not to smile too big, but it was hard because her plan had actually worked.
Nick was standing where the water met the sand making sure his sister didn’t do anything stupid. He felt hands fall upon his shoulders, but he didn’t really notice.
“Don’t worry she’ll be fine,” the voice whispered.
Nick wasn’t paying attention to the person talking, so he couldn’t recognize the voice. “Yea I know, I’m just the over-protective older brother,”
The hands moved down Nick’s body and wrapped around his waist, “It’s so hot when you act so brotherly,”
Warrick saw Nick standing at the shore with someone wrapped around his waist. He turned is head towards the grill to see Sarry there yelling orders at the others. Warrick walked closer to Nick to try to figure out who he was with.
“Hey Nick!” Warrick shouted, “What are you doing?”
Nick turned around and came face to face with Catherine. Nick jumped back and slipped. He landed in the cold water. Just then Niki came in from surfing. She looked from her brother, to Warrick, to Catherine, “Well I’m glad I missed this,” And walked to the bonfire.
Nick got up and looked Catherine right in the eyes and said, “Don’t you ever try that again! And don’t you dare tell Sarry!” And walked off.
“My Partner in Crime! What is cooking?” Niki asked Sarry.
“Hamburgers and hot dogs,” Sarry said pointing to the grill.
Niki laughed, “So what I miss?”
“Well Lilly is drooling over Archie and she’s making Kelly follow him with her,” Sarry started, “But Archie noticed and now Lilly and him are actually talking. Adri has been drooling over Flack but hasn’t gotten the nerve to actually speak with him. Hm anyone else,”
“Maybe we should introduce Adri and Flack, maybe be nice…” before Niki could finish something caught her eye, “OMG Caitie is talking to Horatio! On the count of three?”
“1, 2, 3… HUFFY! HUFFY! HUFFY!” Sarry and Niki said in unison.
Caitie looked over at the two and gave them a dirty look, which just made Sarry and Niki laugh even harder.
“That was a good laugh,” Sarry said between laughs, “Now what were you trying to say?”
“Well I was trying to say that maybe we should set up Flack and Adri,” Niki said between gasps of air. Sarry nodded. She went off to find Flack and Niki to find Adri.
Sarry had dragged Flack away from his friends and Niki had dragged Adri to Flack.
“Flack this is Adri,” Sarry said.
“And Adri this is Flack. Well Don, well actually Donald,” Niki chuckled, “Have fun talking!” And with that Sarry and Niki walked away leaving Flack and Adri to talk.
“Excuse me what do you think you are doing?” Lilly shouted.
“I think I’m seating here and talking to Archie,” Another girl shouted back.
Lilly’s eyes narrowed, “Well I was talking to him first! So back off!”
“And I should care because,” The girl snorted.
Lilly was thrown back; her fights back in grade school never went like this. “Well um…”
“I’m waiting, froshy,”
“Excuse me, but I think you should back off,” A voice said from behind the girl.
The girl turned around, “Who are you to make me back off?”
“Sarry Miller,” Sarry spat.
Then Niki added, “And Niki Stokes. So if you would like to keep your face the way it is, I recommend that you leave, now!”
The girl slowly rose from the log and backed away. Sarry and Niki high five each other.
“Thanks,” Lilly sighed.
“All in a days work,” Sarry smiled.
“Now you two don’t do anything I would do!” Niki said, then she whispered to Archie, “I swear if you hurt her in anyway, you will be in so much pain and then so dead!”
“Alright,” Archie gulped.
“FIRE!” Ryan shouted at the tops of his lungs, “FIRE!”
“Thank you Captain Obvious!” Eric said, “What would the world do without?” Eric put out the fire then looked at the charred hamburgers and hot dogs, “Well that looks delicious,”
“It kind of reminds me of you face,” Niki said sarcastically over Eric’s shoulder.
He jumped back, “Don’t scare me like that! And hey! Just remember you use to date this face!”
“And I still wonder what made me say yes to you?” Niki laughed. Eric wasn’t liking the joke. “I was kidding!”
“Who’s up for some Twister?” Sarry shouted.
“FYI everyone, I am the raining champ!” Niki boasted.
“Not for long!” Greg smiled.
“What’s that do I hear a challenge?” Niki said, “Bring it Sanders, bring it!”
“Oh it’s already brought!”
Niki set up the matt and Katie got ready to spin the spinner.
“You are going down!” Greg boasted.
Niki laughed, “Sure, in your dreams!”
The game actually got pretty intense. The two were pretty tangled; Katie really knew how to spin the spinner.
“Okay Greg right foot on blue,” Katie said.
Greg moved is leg over Niki cause it was the easy way to get to blue. But it wasn’t the smartest. Greg lost his balance and started to sway back and forth. Niki noticed this and was ready to start her victory dance. Finally Greg slipped, but he didn’t hit the ground first, Niki did.
“Greg wins??” Sarry was shocked.
“You dirty little cheater!” Niki growled, “You are so dead Sanders!”
“I suggest you start running now,” Nick whispered to Greg.
Greg took off towards the water. Niki followed closely behind. She wasn’t letting him get away with, with, with whatever he did. Finally Niki was in reach and tackled Greg. The two went flying into the water.
“It’s cold!” Greg complained.
“Well let me help you get use to it!” Niki said and dunked Greg underwater. From under the water Greg grabbed Niki’s ankles and puller her under too. This went on for a good ten minutes.
“Aw aren’t they so cute,” Sarry gushed to Nick.
“No, not really,” Nick said, “He defiantly isn’t for her,”
Sarry rolled her eyes, “Will any guy be good for her?”
“No!” Nick spat.
Sarry just rolled her eyes again, “You are such a jerky older brother. I hope you know that,”

Oh dances the cause so many issues. Some good and some bad. Let's see how this dance changes the lives of our favorite high school students... Oh and the song is Elton John's Can't You Feel The Love Tongiht
It was a warm October day. Niki decided to spend her Saturday at the beach. She was sitting on the sand soaking up rays when Kelly saw her.
“Niki!” Kelly shouted, “What are you doing on the beach? Usually you are surfing,”
Niki lifted up her sunglasses, “Nick decided to be a jerk and take my board away, again. But I’m thinking about asking the hot dude over there if I could borrow his board,”
“And what’s Greg going to think of that?” Kelly teased.
“What’s that suppose to mean?” Niki stood up, “He’s just a friend,”
Kelly rolled her eyes, “Yea and he has the biggest crush on you!”
“Did you come here to tell me that or for something else?” Niki asked changing the subject.
“Oh yea,” She started, “I can’t find anyone to go to the Halloween dance with! And you said if I was ever having guy troubles I could come to you!”
Niki rolled her eyes, “I’ll set you up with someone! Don’t worry!”
“Okay fine! But don’t set me up with all those jerks you know that are going to be expecting…. Things,” Kelly said.
“I won’t! Chill! I know the perfect guy!” Niki said reassuringly, “Now if you excuse me I’m going to ask that hot dude if I can borrow his board!”
“I’m telling you Greg isn’t going to be happy!” Kelly shouted after Niki.
___________________________________________________
The dance was this Friday and it was Tuesday. The school was wild. Guys trying to find girls that still didn’t have dates. Girls worrying that they weren’t going to get asked. Sierra fortunately didn’t have to worry, but Ryan on the other hand was.
“Hey Sierra,” He smiled, “I was wondering…”
“I already have a date Ryan,” She interrupted, “But I know Caitie is looking for one. And I hear she kind of likes you,”
Ryan just raised an eyebrow. He was totally confused on what just happened, but he went off the find Caitie anyway.
_________________________________________________
Niki and Greg were walking together in the hallway.
“Look Greg,” Niki started, “You can’t go to the moon in an ice cream truck!”
Greg was about to say something when a guy came up and started talking to Niki.
“So Niki,” He said, “Are you going to judge the costume contest for the dance?”
“I don’t know,” She sighed, “I don’t even have a date to the dance. So I don’t know if I’m going,”
“Alright,” the guy smiled, “But when you decide let me know!”
When the guy was gone Greg asked, “Why aren’t you going to the dance?”
“Cause,” Niki started, “If I go by myself, then I’m entitled to dance with a lot of different guys. And I don’t really feel like doing that. Are you going?”
“No cause I’d be going single, then that entitles me dancing with so many different girls,” He mocked Niki.
“Jerk,” She smiled and shoved Greg into the lockers.
“Hey I got an idea,” Greg said, “Why don’t we go to the dance together… as friends. That way we aren’t entitled to dance with lots of different people,”
“Is that your way of asking me to the dance,” Niki laughed. Greg nodded. “Fine I’ll go with you! Just because I don’t want to be entitled to dance with a whole bunch of different guys,”
“This is great! Now I can have a costume idea!” Greg laughed.
“Well I got run! Catch you later Captain Jack Sparrow!” Niki laughed and walked away.
“Jack Sparrow?” Greg called after her, “Does that entitle me wearing eyeliner?”
_________________________________________________
“Look at the decorations!” Lilly said, over excited.
“Yea but the don’t look as good as you,” Archie smiled, “You are an amazing pink fairy,”
“Aw,” Lilly blushed, “And you ain’t that bad of a frog!”
Blasting in the background was Say Anything (Else) by Cartel. Archie asked Lilly to dance and she agreed. They joined everyone else out on the dance floor.
__________________________________________________
“Argh matey!” Niki said with her best pirate impersonation.
“Okay where is my date?” Kelly asked impatiently.
“Kelly I like you to meet Sheldon Hawkes,” Niki laughed at his name, “But everyone calls him Hawkes, cause Sheldon is an embarrassing name,”
Kelly smiled and Hawkes took her hand. Then there was an awkward silence.
“Well know this is awkward,” Niki said, “I’m gonna go. Aw you guys aren’t going to win the costume contest! Hawkes is a doctor and Kelly is a baseball player! Nice going guys! Really now!”
“What, I like my costume!” Hawkes and Kelly said at the same time. The both turned to each other and smiled.
Niki rolled her eyes, “Alright I’m leaving cause this is getting to mushy gushy for me! Peace!” And with that Niki was gone into the crowd. Kelly and Hawkes followed slowly after to dance to Five Minutes to Midnight by Boys Like Girls.
__________________________________________________
Over by the punch bowl stood Kat in her Superwomen costume. Horatio walked up behind her, as her Superman.
“Don’t you dare think about spiking the punch!” Horatio said sternly.
Kat smiled sheepishly, “Um H, you are a little to late,”
“Argh,” Horatio said and hit himself in the face.
Kat laughed, “Well now everyone can have more fun!”
_____________________________________________
“Yo, yo, yo!” The DJ shouted into the mic, “How are my freaky peeps tonight?”
The crowd echoed good, or alright, or something along those lines.
“Alrightz,” He nodded, “Now let’s get this party hopping with a little dance off!”
Everyone formed into a huge circle. Making lots of room in the middle for the dance competitors. Niki found herself next to her twin, Lauren.
“So you want to go out there and show them how it’s done?” Lauren asked.
“I don’t know,” Niki sighed, “You know how I am with showing off and such,”
Lauren laughed, “Please Nik, it’s like your favorite thing to do! Come on!” Lauren pulled Niki into the center of the circle. The DJ smiled at the contestants and put on Low by Flo Rida. Niki couldn’t resist so she started dancing to the beat. Lauren followed Niki’s moves. Not like it was that hard, they are twins.
Finally the competition was done to three. Niki, Lauren, and some other girl.
“Look at her,” Lauren started, “She thinks she’s all that and a bag of chips!”
Niki smiled, “I think we should break out our brake dancing moves,” Lauren nodded and the girls started brake dance. It blew the DJ away.
“We have our winners!” He shouted, “The crazy brunettes that have the right moves get up here!”
Niki and Lauren smiled, “What did we win?”
“Isn’t knowing you are the best dancers in the school enough of a prize,” Nick shouted from the crowd.
“That’s our brother,” Lauren whispered to the DJ, “So really what did we win?”
“Six front row seats and backstage passes to,” He paused for dramatic affect, “The Jonas Brothers Concert!”
“Whoa!” Lauren laughed, “Nick J. couldn’t even get us that many front row seats!”
“I’m gonna see Joe Jonas dancing in front of me and sitting next to me!” Niki sang.
Lauren and the DJ both rolled their eyes. The DJ told them they’d get the tickets in the mail cause knowing the twins they would lose them. Lauren and Niki jumped off the stage. Lauren ran off with Nick J. and Niki walked over to Greg.
“Whoa,” He said, “I had no idea that you can dance like that! Would you like to dance with me?”
“So now you are asking me to dance,” Niki smiled.
Greg smiled sheepishly, “Well I didn’t want to embarrass you on the dance floor. But now that I know you can dance, I won’t embarrass you,”
“Sure,” Niki laughed and grabbed Greg’s arm leading him to the dance floor.
_________________________________________
Niki was back on stage again, but this time she had the mic.
“Alright everyone,” She said, “In this envelope I have the winners of the costume contest. Now every year the winners must dance together!” Niki stressed the must.
The crowd was confused. They all knew that the winners dance together. Why was Niki actually making a point of it?
Niki began to open the envelope and smiled a sly smile, “The winners are Ryan Wolfe as a vampire! And… Greg Sanders as Captain Jack Sparrow!”
“What?!?” Both winners shouted.
“The eyeliner won me over!” Niki laughed.
“But I don’t want to dance with Greg!” Ryan complained.
“Is it at least a fast song?” Greg asked. Ryan gave Greg a glare. “What?” He squirmed, “I don’t want to slow dance with you!”
“You guys caught me in a good mood,” Niki said, “But I did think about having you guys’ slow dance,”
Both boys rolled their eyes. Niki turned on the music. It just so happen to be Thriller by Michael Jackson. The guys started to dance. Niki jumped off the stage and found herself standing next to Caitie.
“So how’s your date with Ryan going?” She asked.
“It’s good, be better if he was dancing with me,” Caitie said.
“You think we should save them from total humiliation by cutting in?” Niki asked. Caitie nodded. The two girls dance out on to the floor and cut in and started dancing with their respective dates.
“Well this is much better,” Ryan smiled when he started dancing with Caitie again, “Way better!”
___________________________________________
Over by the punch bowl Cowboy Nick was standing watching Allie dance with her sometimes boyfriend Chris. Nick wasn’t a big fan of him. Catherine noticed Nick standing all by himself and made her way over.
“Hey Nick,” She said as flirty as possible
“Hey,” Nick mumbled not taking his eyes off Allie.
Cath made her way in front of Nick and wrapped her arms around his waist, “Aw Nicky you have to learn to let them go. You aren’t always going to be around to protect them,”
“Yea but I’m here now, so I’m watching out for them,” Nick grumbled.
Lauren had walked passed Nick and noticed Cath around his waist, “Excuse Catherine what do you think you are doing? Get out of here!”
Meanwhile, Niki was dancing with Greg when she saw everything. She was about to walk over when she noticed Sarry making her way over.
“Sarry!’ She called, “Come over here! Let me see that cowgirl costume,” Niki adjusted Sarry so she couldn’t see what was going on behind her.
“Sarry,” Niki forced a smile, “Talk to Greg! But stay in that spot! Don’t move! The… the… the lighting is working wonders for you there!” Niki ran off.
She reached Nick, Catherine, and Lauren when Lauren said, “Get out of here!”
“Yea Cath,” Niki said, “Get your paws off my brother!”
Catherine smiled, “Just remember who the cheerleading captain is,”
Niki gave Cath the same smile, “Just remember who your best tumbler is,”
Catherine gave up and walked away. Lauren and Niki gave each other high fives, and then turned to Nick.
“What the hell do you think you were doing?” Niki practically shouted.
“I was watching out for Allie! You know how I get!” Nick defended himself.
Lauren rolled her eyes, “Look I know you want to look out for us, but you got to look out for yourself too!”
“Look I’m sorry,” Nick said genially, “I just… I don’t know,”
Niki was extremely mad at her brother, “You’re a jerk! I just saved your ass once again! I still haven’t told Sarry what happen at the beach!”
“You haven’t?” Nick was surprised.
“Yea,” Niki said, “And I don’t plan on telling her!”
Lauren was confused, “What happened at the beach?”
“I’ll tell you later,” Niki said not taking her eyes off her brother.
Warrick had just walked over to the siblings to show off his Zorro costume.
“And this is Warrick’s fault too!” Lauren said.
“What?” Warrick was confused, “What did I do?”
“Yea,” Niki agreed, “You should just ask Catherine out already! Everyone knows you like her!”
“Hey! I just wanted to show you guys my Zorro costume! Not get blamed for Nick being a stone when he’s watching out for you guys!” Warrick defended.
Niki was fed up with all this, “Whatever, just remember Nick what you do affects other people too!” And with that she disappeared into the dance floor.
“Nick, you have to remember that Sarry is one of Niki’s closest friends. They were friends before you and Sarry even met,” Lauren said caringly, “You can’t think of it as she’s just another girl. Sarry is your sisters best friend, her ‘partner in crime’, if you hurt Sarry, you are basically hurting Niki. Just remember that,”
____________________________________________
“Alright all you lovers out there, here’s a slow one for yea!” The DJ said turning on Can’t You Feel the Love Tonight by Elton John.
There’s a calm surrender to the rush of day. When the heat of rolling wind can’t be turned away,
Adria and Flack were slowly swaying to the music. Ever since Sarry and Niki introduced them, they just clicked. Adria looked up at Flack to see him smiling at her, she blushed. Before she could comprehend what was going on her head was slowing moving toward Flack. Next thing Adria knew, her lips her pressed against his. The moment was perfect. And Niki wasn’t around to ruin it. They slowly separated and Adria rested her head on Flack’s shoulder.
An enchanted moment and it sees me through. It's enough for this restless warrior, just to be with you,
Eric had his arms around Katie’s waist. Katie was just smiling at her football star. What a great thought, her football star. She smiled at the thought and rested her head on Eric.
And can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are. It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer, that we got this far,
The guilt started to sink in for Nick. Even though he had no feelings for Catherine what so ever, he still felt like he was cheating. Lauren and Niki were right, he was a jerk. Sarry was the best thing that ever happened to him and he could lose her if he didn’t straighten things out with Cath.
And can you feel the love tonight, how it's laid to rest? It's enough to make kings and vagabonds, believe the very best,
Sierra was having the best night of her life. She was at the dance with the guy she had the biggest crush on and he liked her back. Jake smiled at her. Sierra couldn’t help but giggle. Jake couldn’t wait to ask Sierra out.
There's a time for everyone, if they only learn. That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn,
Hawkes and Kelly had truly hit it off. Niki picked the right guy, Kelly thought to herself. She had to give her friend props. Kelly was really falling for Hawkes and Hawkes was really falling for Kelly.
There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors. When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours,
“And can you feel the love tonight?” Niki sang softly with her arms around Greg’s neck, “it is where we are. It’s enough for this wide-eyed warrior, that we got this far,”
And can you feel the love tonight, how it's laid to rest?
Greg decided that it was his time to make a move. He started to move his head toward Niki.
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds, believe the very best,
Niki had the strange feeling inside of her. Did she really like Greg? She was about to find out.
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds, believe the…
They were inches away from each other when the each felt a hand on their shoulders.
“I think you are a little to close for dancing,” said a familiar voice.
Very best.
Niki rolled her eyes and sighed, “Nick we were just dancing! Look at Nick J and Lauren! They are all over each other!”
“Yea!” Allie popped up out of nowhere, “They’re like playing tonsil hockey!”
“I’ll deal with them later!” Nick said sternly, “Right now you two are coming with me!” Nick grabbed Allie and Niki by the arms and lead them away. Leaving Greg standing out in the middle of the dance floor, all alone.
___________________________________________
Archie and Lilly were walking home from the dance. He had his arm around her shoulders, pulling her in tight. Lilly rested her head on his shoulder. The full moon and the sound of the ocean made the moment so romantic. Lilly couldn’t stop smiling. They finally reached her front door.
“I had a great time tonight,” Lilly said, swaying back and forth.
Archie smiled, “Yea me too! So I was wondering if maybe you want to… maybe… go out with me sometime?”
Lilly almost screamed with joy! But she kept it in, “I would love too!”
“Great,” Archie breathed, “I’ll call you!”
Archie turned away but then Lilly grabbed his arm. He turned back to face her. Lilly leaned in toward Archie and gave him a kiss on the check. Archie blushed and held the spot Lilly kissed him. He practically floated home.

This chapter was written by the wonderful Sarry! She is such a sweet person! So let's see how Halloween works in Miami shall we?
Bedlam reigned in the Stokes household. Allie, Lauren and Niki were running around the house hollering about costumes, and hairstyles. Nick on the other hand was sat in the living room watching the TV. His costume on, his hair styled, generally he was ready to rock and roll. In the kitchen, Sarry, Kat, Horatio, and Catherine were munching on the cup cakes Mommy Stokes had given them. The atmosphere was a little icy. Sarry knew Catherine had a thing for Nick, but was glad that she was in the kitchen with them and not in the living room with him. Greg was already running late, his scientist costume wasn't sitting quite right, and he didn't want Niki re-arranging him. Lilly, Kelly, Archie, and Hawkes were meeting at Lilly's house. Nick J, Ryan, Eric, Katie, Adri, Sierra, Warrick, Flack, Caitie, Jake, and Chris (the guy no one liked much, that Allie was kinda seeing), were all at the school waiting for everyone else. The school was basically the focal point in the center of town and was the ideal place for them to meet up in preparation for their night of trick or treating.
“Finally dude!” Nick shouted as Greg appeared in the doorway, “nice dork costume.”
Greg looked in the full length mirror in the hall, “hey, it looks good.” He retorted.
Nick raised an eyebrow, but patted him on the back and led him into the kitchen. “Greg's here, let's go.” He grabbed a hold of Sarry's hand, and pretty much dragged her past Catherine and out of the room.
“Um, are the others even ready?” She asked him.
“ALLIE, NIKI, LAUREN! WE'RE LEAVING!”
The three girls almost tumbled down the stairs in their haste. “We're ready!! Where's Greg?”
Greg stepped through the crowd grinning, Niki smiled back. They bundled out of the door, and headed for the school.
“Lilly, you look great like that, you really don't need to change again,” Archie was almost whining, “honest you look fab!”
“You think?” She glowered at him a little, “Keeeeeeeeeeelly,” she yelled, then to Archie, “I'm asking her.”
Archie shook his head and laid back on the bed. Kelly appeared at the door. “You yelled?” She said, sarcastically.
“Is this okay?”
“It's cute, I like it. Are you nearly ready? Cos we are gonna be soooo late. Hawkes is already clock watching, and your Mom keeps trying to feed him candy.” Kelly rolled her eyes.
Lilly laughs, “yeah, okay I'm done. Come on Archie, we'll be late!”
Archie made a choking noise in protest, but didn't have a chance to say anything as he was dragged out of the door.
The group outside the school was pretty noisy, everyone in high spirits. The annual trick and treat night on Halloween was always good. But this year promised to be the best yet. But then that was what they said every year. Not that they were ever disappointed, it did get better each year! Nick J and Chris were looking out for the Stokes', while Warrick was trying to slyly keep an eye out for Catherine.
“You guys going to the party later?” Warrick asked, joining them.
They both turn to him, “I thought everyone was going.” Nick J said.
Warrick shook his head, “Sarry, Niki, Lauren, and Allie can't, they have a soccer game in the morning.”
“I bet that's killing them,” Chris' remark sounded a little snide, “we all know how much they love the parties, oh, and that means Nick will be unattended, and as you can't step up to the plate,” he nudged Warrick, “Catherine'll be all over Nick again.”
Warrick glared, he hadn't seen Kat stood right by them with Horatio. “Catherine will NOT be all over Nick again. I'll make sure of that!” She announced.
Horatio grabbed her arm gently, “Nick's a big boy, he can take care of himself!” He soothed, holding onto her softly.
“It's not Nick I'm worried about.” She added, then wandered off with Horatio.
Flack, Adri, Caitie, Ryan, Katie and Eric were all huddled in a group, “You guys seen Jake and Sierra yet?” Caitie asked, looking around her.
They all shook their heads, “she hates being late, I bet he's posing in the mirror” Eric laughed, Ryan joined him in the laughter, but he knew that Eric had been posing for a good thirty minutes before they'd left.
Lilly, Kelly, Hawkes and Archie appeared, and joined the steadily growing group.
Finally the Stokes, Sarry, Greg, and Catherine showed. Followed closely by Sierra and Jake looking decidedly crumpled. There were a few raised eyebrows, but nothing was said.
“Let the night begin!” Flack announced. There was a small cheer!
They headed off in one big group, laughing and joking. Plenty of pushing and shoving ended up with Ryan stood very close to the road with his pants around his ankles.
“Ryan!” Caitie exclaimed, as if he'd done it to himself.
Ryan looked at her, “what? Wait a minute, it's not like.....” He trailed off as he realised it may actually be a good idea to pull them back up.
Greg was laughing so hard that Ryan presumed it was him that had done it to him and threw him an icy glare. Greg wasn't paying any attention and missed it completely, he wasn't even laughing at Ryan, in fact he'd not even noticed. The group continued on. The usual tricks ensued, they toilet papered Darcy James' house. She was the one that had been hitting on Archie at the beach party.
“Payback!!” Yelled Lilly as she threw the last toilet roll and ran.
Greg offered Nick a bag of candy, he greedily helped himself to two. Greg laughed to himself as he unwrapped them both and popped them into his mouth. Ten minutes later his mouth was foaming, and blue at that!
Jake and Sierra were cleaning up in the candy department, everyone thought they looked cute and seemed to pile extra goodies into their sacks. Luckily, here, Halloween was a big thing. Kids their age normally missed out on the night getting told, 'it's for the little kids', but here, everyone got to join in the fun. Soon their bags were brimming with chocolates, candies, basically enough sweets to make them all sick for the next week.
They arrived at the local weirdo's house. No one was gonna be knocking that door any time soon. Ryan smiled to himself. Greg was new, there was no way he knew about Mr. Dawson.
“Greg,” he called, Greg turned to face him with a 'huh' look on his face, “the guy who lives there gives loooooooooods of stuff to people who dress up like cool, different thing, like scientists.” Ryan nodded at the house.
Greg headed up the path to the front door. None of them followed, but they all clambered to watch. Greg knocked, and at the top of his lungs yelled, “TRICK OR TREAT!”
Everyone flinched at how loud he'd shouted, knowing exactly what was coming next.
The front door flew open, old Mr. Dawson came running out the house yelling “TRICK”, he was waving his vintage shotgun.
Greg's mouth fell open, his eyes popped open wide.
“GET OFF MY LAWN YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING KID” he continued yelling.
Greg was falling over himself to get away from the mad guy and his gun, he tried to find the gate but in his panic ran right into some huge bushes, he fell in screaming. Scared the nutty guy was going to shoot him in the ass he scrambled through the bushes and out onto the street.
The group were all almost crying with laughter at him, while he lay panting with relief on the floor. Once he'd gotten over the horror, he faced up to Ryan.
“Think that's funny do you?” He asked, angrily, no one had seen him like that since he'd joined the school.
“It's called payback Greg,” Ryan smiled evilly, “for pantsing me!”
“I never pantsed you, when did you get pantsed?” Greg asked oblivious to Ryan's earlier turmoil.
“Um, Ryan,” Niki started, joining Greg in front of him, “I pantsed you.. it was me!”
Ryan glared at her, there was no way he was apologizing for what he done.
Caitie looked at him, “awwww you were mean to the new guy and he didn't even do anything to you.”
Ryan felt a little bit guilty, but not that much. Everyone else had joined in the prank, no one had told Greg it wasn't a good idea. So he shrugged and walked away.
Trying to distract everyone from the situation Sarry pointed out that they were outside Mr. Taylor's house. They decided as a teacher he'd be obliged to give them candy, surely. So they bundled up to the front door. Nick knocked really hard and as one they yelled trick or treat. Mr. Taylor opened the door a little bleary eyed. Kat grinned at him, Horatio poked her in the back. She looked at him, “what?”
He just looked at her, and she sighed.
“So Mr. Taylor, what do you have for us, your wonderful students?” Lauren laughed.
Mr. Taylor smiled, “I have some thing for you... pop test on Monday!!”
As one their faces fell. All of them had him at one point during the course of the school day. What a great Monday that would be, sick from all the candy and taking a pop test in Chemistry.
He smiled again at their faces, “I'm joking,” he shook his head, and wandered back into his house and re-appeared with a bowl full of candies. There was a voice behind him.
“Is that Miss Bonasera?” Allie asked, with a sly smile.
Mr. Taylor pushed the door shut slightly so the girls who were stretching to look through the doorway couldn't see past him. After he'd handed out candy to each of them he shut the door up with a quick goodbye.
Nick J looked at Kelly, then he looked slyly at Niki, who grinned back, she knew exactly what he was going to say. “So, bummer then Kells.”
Kelly looked at him, “What?”
“Well it seems Mr. Taylor, your Macky Boi is taken!”
Kelly looked at him in horror.
Hawkes glanced at Kelly, “what's that about?” He asked jealously.
“Nothing, nothing, they have an affliction.” She said glaring at Nick J.
Everyone laughed, Hawkes looked confused. Kelly dragged him away from the crowd just in case anyone decided to tell him what they thought.
“Okay, so we've covered the whole main part of town,” Niki started, “now it's time for the story in the park!”
“What's that?” Catherine asked.
“Well, I had an idea. Maybe we could go to the park and have a spooky story time. I can tell a scary story while we all sit in a circle. The night is warm. It'll be fun. The party doesn't start for a few hours.”
Sarry agreed, as did Lauren. Because they agreed so did, Nick, Nick J and Chris. Followed closely by Allie and the rest of the group.
“It could be fun.” Katie said, grabbing hold of Eric, who nodded.
Little did they know what was planned.
Once they were all sat in the circle huddled together Niki started the story.
“Long ago, it was the night of All Hallows Eve,”
“All Hallows Eve? What's that?” Lilly asked.
“Shhhhhh!” Everyone shushed at her. She pouted.
“There was a group of teenagers,” Niki continued, “they were sat in the park, a park not unlike this one.” She was using a spooky voice.
Lilly was still pouting, so Sarry whispered to her that All Hallows Eve was just another name for Halloween.
“I guess you guys should know this story is based on fact, I looked it up on the internet.” Niki told them, before continuing. “They say ghosts and ghoulies come out to play, and that portals open up to the netherworld. No one believed that, not until that fateful evening.”
Everyone huddled in closer to hear her clearly.
“The teenagers were just innocently having a small party to celebrate the spooky night that was Halloween. Dancing around until one of them suggested they do a ouiji board, put a call out for spirits. Now they say the line between the spirit world and our world is weakest on this night. A ouiji board probably wasn't the brightest idea, but the high spirited teenagers didn't think about the implications. They sat in a circle, a lot like ours.” She looked around the group her eyes shining. They were playing such close attention to her they hadn't noticed Archie slip away.
“The first girl called upon a spirit to talk to them, there was a rushing of wind. The small group gasped, but she just laughed. The night wasn't still, it could've easily have been a gust. There was a small growl. A dog, the girl had surmised. She decided that what she'd done had yielded nothing and that someone else should take a turn. She took her place back in the circle. As someone else stepped up to take a turn, there was a small whooshing noise. They turned to look and the girl was gone!!”
There was a gasp amongst the listeners.
Niki continued, “The others thought she was playing tricks on them so, continued with the 'game'.”
The group hadn't noticed that Allie was now missing from their circle. Like the girl in the story, just gone.
“The next girl called upon the spirit world to talk to them, once again, a rush of wind. A spooky groan. Now they were smiling, sure that the missing girl was actually playing a prank on them all. Little did they realise what they were doing would have a huge affect on the rest of their lives!!! Presuming that the girl was controlling the situation, the second girl rejoined the smaller circle. Once the third girl stood, they noticed the second missing.”
Niki looked around at the faces, all intently listening to her telling the story. All so intent, once again, they didn't notice the missing form of Lauren. Now two of the Stokes clan were missing.
“Starting to get a little wary now, the third girl hesitated. Should she take a turn? Encouraged by the others to do so she did. They convinced her it was all a joke set up by the first girl. She was scared and her voice wavered. But she called upon the spirit world anyway.”
There was a scream. The whole group jumped. It was then that they noticed the group was missing Lauren, Allie and Catherine. No one even noticed Archie was gone, bless him.
“What's going on?” Kelly asked, looking fearfully around. She huddled closer to Hawkes.
Niki looked at Sarry, confused. Sarry shrugged, then mouthed 'I was meant to be next.'
Niki nodded.
There was panic amongst everyone that three girls had gone missing, just as they had in the story. Just the effect Niki had wanted, but not in this way. While everyone was glancing around, panicking, harassing Niki, Sarry slipped away.
“Archie, what did you do?” Lauren moaned, looking down at the still form of Catherine.
“She was sat next to Nick, it's dark, I thought it was Sarry!”
“Blimey Archie!” Sarry exclaimed, joining them. “How hard could it be?” Then she looked at Catherine, “and what did you do to her?”
“She fainted... that's all.” Archie explained.
“Someone get her phone, she can't wake up and use it.” Allie threw in, looking a little horrified.
“Everyone's panicking out there now. It's actually quite funny. But Niki's not going to be happy her plan was messed up.” Sarry glared at Archie.
“Hey, well it's not my fault, seriously.” He whined. “You MADE me do this, I didn't even want to.”
Sarry chuckled to herself, remembering how her and Niki had made Archie agree to do this.......
“So, Archie, you like Lilly?” Niki asked coyly.
“Yeeeeeeeeeah!” Archie answered cautiously, feeling cornered.
“So, you want her to keep liking you, yes?” Sarry enquired.
Archie nodded.
“Well, then I guess you'll have to do something for us.” Niki demanded.
Archie looked a little concerned, but he did like Lilly....
“What do I have to do?”
There was bedlam in the park. They were all yelling the names of the missing few. Adri and Flack headed out a little further to see if they were anywhere out there amongst the trees. Then Nick noticed Sarry was gone too. The panic worsened, Niki was trying not to laugh uncontrollably, even though she was pretty mad at Archie for taking Catherine. Nick ran up to her.
“Where are they? Do you know?” There was real panic in his eyes and she felt a little guilty. But only a little, so she shrugged and tried to pretend to look scared.
“I dunno Nick, where are they?” She let out a small fake sob.
Then when no one was watching, she also vanished into the night.
Catherine started to stir. She opened one eye to see Archie stood over her.
“What? Archie? What is going on?” She asked, her voice throwing venom his way.
“She's awake!” Archie yelled, his voice wavered. A lot of they younger ones were pretty scared of Catherine. To be honest no one really knew why she hung out with their group. Sarry stepped up, flanked closely by Niki.
“Hey Catherine,” she started, “I think we need to talk.”
Catherine jumped up, “talk? I don't think so, you guys are in so much trouble.” She reached into her bag for her phone. “Where is it?” She growled.
Allie, Lauren and Archie took a step back. Sarry and Niki just looked unaffected. “Look, Catherine. It was a joke. You weren't meant to be grabbed. It was an accident. Okay?” Niki said, trying to be polite but feeling anger towards Catherine, like she always did.
“No, it's not okay, where. is. my. phone.?”
Sarry handed it back. “Well, I suppose leave it up to you to ruin the best Halloween prank this town has ever seen.” She sighed.
Catherine thought about it, it was a good prank. She was never involved in cool stuff like this. Maybe.... “Okay, just this once, I won't cause a fuss,” she turned to Archie, “I tell you something though, ever lay your grubby hands on me again....”
“Okay, so guys, Niki's gone now too.” Greg whined.
“What is going on? Where are my sisters, and my girl, and,” Nick sneered, “Catherine?”
Then there was a chuckle, “Oh man, why didn't anyone think?” Everyone turned to look at Kat.
“Think what?” Horatio asked her.
“Who is actually missing. Take away Catherine, who is missing.”
Everyone thought about it. The Stokes girls and Sarry.
“Holy! Them and pranks! They are in soooooo much trouble!” Nick's face was red with rage.
“Where's Archie?” Lilly suddenly asked.
He tried to slink next to her unnoticed, it didn't work.
“Where were you?” She asked him.
“Looking for the others.” He tried to lie.
Everyone seemed to be staring at him. Before he could spill the beans, the Stokes' and Sarry, followed closely by Catherine walked around some bushes and joined the group. Almost everyone, though they had been really scared, congratulated them on the great prank. Everyone except Nick that was, he was mad! He wouldn't even speak to Sarry. The Stokes' got yelled at. But they didn't care, it was something they were used to.
“Awww Nicky, talk to me. Please?” Sarry almost begged.
He shook his head. “Niki, Lauren, and Allie, it's time you left. Your game tomorrow is important.”
Niki looked at Sarry, she knew he was right. But didn't want to be 'doing what she was told'.
“I suppose everyone else is just headin' to the party anyway.” Sarry said to Niki, who nodded.
They said their goodbyes, Sarry asked Kat to keep an eye of Catherine at the party, especially as Nick was now not speaking to her. They left with Nick still not talking to the pair of them.
The party got under way. People got a little drunk, very fast. Considering not one of them was old enough to drink that was quite an achievement. A few people were very sick, maybe learning their lesson, but who knew. The crumpled Sierra managed to accidentally fall into the bushes with Jake and get a little more crumpled..... they didn't know how that happened. There would be plenty of stories to tell in the morning.
This had been a Halloween to remember.

You know high school is filled with drama... so I need to put some in!
It was the Monday after Halloween and the night that the sports awards were being held. Archie, Niki, and Greg were walking in the hallways when Niki got a text. She took out her phone to see that she has received a picture message. Weird, she thought, who’s sending me a picture messaging during school? She opened it and almost dropped her phone.
“Archie I need you!” She said grabbing his arm.
“Whoa there,” Greg said sarcastically.
Niki just rolled her eyes, “I need you to skip class with me,”
“I wanna skip class!” Greg jumped in.
“You can’t!” Niki snapped, “Now go!”
Niki dragged Archie into the computer lab. Once inside she showed him the picture she had just received. Archie eyes grew wide. He knew why Niki wanted him.
“Alright,” She said, “I need you to figure out who this was sent to and who sent it,”
Archie grabbed the phone and got straight to work. Five minutes later he said, “I think we should be expecting company soon,”
“Why?” Niki asked.
Before Archie could answer Lauren and Allie barged into the computer lab.
“What is this?!?” Lauren shouted.
“Oh someone is dead!” Allie yelled.
“You’re telling me,” Niki said aggravated.
“Oh crap,” Archie mumbled, “You aren’t going to like this,”
All three Stoke sisters ran to the computer and read the list of people the picture was sent to. Finally the reached the one name they had hoped didn’t get the picture.
“Crap,” They all said at once.
“Alright here’s the deal,” Niki said turning to her sisters, “There is still a chance it hasn’t been read. So if we split up maybe we can stop this message from being read,”
“But won’t we get caught for skipping class?” Allie asked.
“Oh when has that stopped you before?” Lauren asked. Allie shrugged.
“Alright move it move it!” Niki said with a stern voice. Being the second oldest the two youngster usually did what she said. Allie and Lauren ran out of the computer lab to stop a certain someone from looking at that picture. Niki turned back to Archie and asked, “How much longer till you find out who sent it?”
Archie shrugged, “Five minutes or five hours. I’ll keep trying. You go stop the message. I’ll text you when I find out who sent it,”
Niki nodded and ran into the hallway. The first place she ran to was where Nick’s locker was. When she got there she could hear to people talking. Well one more yelling and the other more silent. Niki pressed herself against the locker trying to listen to the conversation, but she only caught the tail end.
“I can’t believe you!” The on voice shouted, “That’s it, we are through!” The mad voice slapped the person they were shouting at and walked away.
Niki turned the corner and looked the person down. Then she said, “Nick you are an insensitive jerk. I can’t believe you,” She walked away leaving her brother completely speechless.
Niki was sitting at her locker to embarrass to go to class. How Nick could do that, she wondered, now everyone is gonna think of him as a playa or worse… Just then Niki got a text from Archie. She read it and stood straight up.
“That ass,” She said to herself. Niki looked down the hallway to see the culprit standing at his locker. She stormed down there to give him a piece of her mind.
“Why the hell would you do that?” Niki shouted.
John smirked, “Payback is a b*tch,”
“You are such an ass!” Niki shouted, grabbing John by the collar and shoving him against the locker. Suddenly a crowd of people formed around them, expecting either a fight or a make-out session.
“So,” He smirked, “Is this a preview of what’s to come?”
“Oh yeaaa,” Niki smiled slyly, moving in closer like she was about to kiss John. He closed his eyes expecting a kiss but instead he got a knee in the family jewels. He fell to the ground in pain and agony.
Niki stood above him and smirked, “That’s what you get for messing with the Stokes,” She pushed her way through the crowd leaving John in pain on the floor.
Lauren and Allie walked next to him.
“Next time pick a different family to mess with,” Lauren said, kicking him.
Allie just stared him down, “You mess with one Stoke, you mess with all of them,” Lauren and Allie followed Niki’s path. Tonight was gonna be a long night.
______________________________________________________________
Nick and his sisters were driving home from the sports awards. The car was filled with tension. No one was speaking to anyone. Not even one cell phone went off. Finally Niki broke the silence, “I can’t believe you would do that to Sarry! She is like the best thing that has ever happen to you and you ruined it!”
“Look,” Nick said turning toward his sister, “I’m sick of you ragging on me! You are my younger sister!” During Nick’s ramble he slowly moved out into the intersection, but don’t worry they had a green light. But that meant the other way didn’t. On the right side of the intersection a car came speeding down. The car was swerving in and out of the right lane. No one had noticed the other car until it was too late.
Lauren saw the head lights and shouted, “NICK! LOOK OUT!”
Everyone looked to their right to see the car come speeding down and crash right into the right side of the Stoke’s car.
______________________________________________________________________
Niki woke up to blinking red and blue lights. Everything was all fuzzy and her head was killing her. She looked at Nick in the driver seat. His whole body hunched over the steering wheel. Next Niki look to the seat next to her seeing Allie lying against the window. Finally Niki tried her best to look at Lauren in the passenger seat. She couldn’t see. Niki stumbled to take off her seat belt. But when she did she pushed open the door and stumbled her way out of the car. In about five seconds a paramedic came running to Niki. He led her to an ambulance so she could be checked out.
____________________________________________________________________
Greg was in his room doing something on his computer when his mom shouted for him from outside. He walked outside to see that a couple of houses down there was a car crash. Greg recognized the car as the Stoke’s. He knew that the sports awards were tonight and that Niki and Nick were getting recognized for something. Greg ran to the caution tape and started to go under it. He was stopped by a police officer. Greg was trying to think of ways to get in, but then one hit him, actually more shouted.
“I don’t need to be checked out!” A voice shouted, “I just want to see my siblings!”
Greg could recognize that angry voice anywhere, it was Niki.
“Look I’m fine!” Niki yelled, “I don’t need you telling me what could be wrong with me!”
“I know her,” Greg said to the officer, “I could get her to let the paramedics check her out,”
The officer turned to see Niki fighting off the paramedic. The officer nodded and Greg ran under the tape. He ran straight to Niki grabbing her arms so she didn’t hurt the paramedic anymore. Greg spun Niki so she was facing him.
“Look,” He said, “You’ve got a nasty cut on your head, you could have a concussion. You need to get checked out,”
“I’ve played a soccer game with a concussion, I think I’ll be fine,” Niki said.
“Please get checked out, for me?” Greg said, giving Niki the puppy dog eyes. She rolled her eyes and nodded. The paramedic took her to the back of and ambulance and Greg followed.
Niki had a slight concussion, a few scratches and bruises. They had stitched up the nasty cut on her head. Niki sat on the back of the ambulance blankly staring at the accident. Greg had his arm around her shoulder, trying to comfort her as best he could. Suddenly he felt her body tense. Greg looked at the accident to see a coroner’s van pull up.

Well now we found out who is dead and what not. Enjoy!
Caitie was sound asleep in her bed when someone swung the door open and turned on the lights.
“Go away!” Caitie mumbled.
“No you have to get up!” Sierra said, “The Stoke’s got into a car crash,”
Caitie shot straight up, “How did you find out?”
“Well apparently Greg told Archie, who told Lilly, who told Kelly, who told Hawkes. Lilly also told Adri, who told Ryan, who told Warrick, who told Eric, who told Katie. Eric also told H, who told Kat, who told Sarry, who told me, and I told you and Jake,”
“We better get to the hospital now,” Caitie said, worry plastered on her face. Her sister nodded.
_______________________________________________________________________
Niki was at the hospital in Nick’s room waiting for him to wake up. She wasn’t to sure what she wanted to say to him, but she wanted to say something. Finally Nick started to stir in his bed. Nick moaned in pain and Niki knew he was awake.
“So what happened, you trip and her lips broke your fall,” She said coldly.
Nick sighed, “Look that’s not how it happened,”
“Well enlighten me,” Niki spat.
“Look,” He started, “She kissed me, and it was a set up. How else would John get the picture? And it meant nothing. Look I know I screwed up big time. Sarry was the best thing to ever happen to me, I mean… I think… I… I … love her,”
Niki was taken back. She never figured her brother was capable of love. She didn’t know what to say, but now she slightly knew how bad he was hurting.
“Nick,” She said, “I’m… I’m… s… or…eh. I guess I never thought about how much you actually cared for her. I should have been smarter and remembered you aren’t the hot shot jock that dates every girl in the school. You are my geeky older brother, who just happens to be good at sports, and…”
Nick smiled, “I appreciate the attempt of an apology. I just hope Sarry will forgive me too,” The smile faded from his face.
Niki stood up and walked toward Nick, she put her hand on his shoulder and said, “If you tell her, what you told me, I think she’ll forgive you,” She bent down and kissed her brother on the forehead, “I know that would work for me,”
_______________________________________________________________________
It was now Wednesday, two days since the accident. Niki hadn’t left the hospital since both Nick and Allie were fine, but just staying for observation. Lauren on the other hand wasn’t doing to good. She had been in the coma. It was really hard on Niki, having to see her twin like that. Every time she saw her Niki force back tears. She had a reputation to keep, but it was tough with her twin being in the state that she was in.
Niki and Nick J. where standing outside Lauren’s room, watching her. Neither of them said anything. It had been quiet for 10 minutes until Nick J. broke it.
“Da*n, I wish I was in bed with her,” He mumbled.
Niki turned to him, “What did you just say?!? Are you that much of a pig?!? How about I show you something?”
Before Nick J. could answer Niki dragged him off to the men’s bathroom. Flack was already in there and he looked to see who was coming in. When he saw Niki he flipped.
“Niki! This is a guy’s room! Get out of here!” Flack said.
“Don’t worry Flack, you’ve got nothin’ I haven’t seen before,” She smirked then she dragged Nick J. into on of the stalls.
___________________________________________________________________
Twenty minutes later Nick J. walked out of the bathroom and into the waiting room. Everyone turned to him because 1) his hair was soaking wet, and 2) he smelt like toilet water. Niki walked out seconds later with a grin of satisfaction.
Ryan was the first to put two and two together, “So you gave Nick J. one of your world famous swirly?”
“He pissed me off,” Niki stated, “And I am not in the mood to be pissed off,”
Everyone figured that would be her answer. She wasn’t a bully, but if you got on her bad side, you were in for a world of hurt.
_____________________________________________________________________
It was November 15th. Three girl’s birthdays; Sarry, Niki, and Lauren. Sarry had gotten the best present from Nick. He finally told her how he felt about her. Sarry couldn’t stay mad at him. She forgave him and now they are back to being the Favorite Couple of Miami High, again.
It was a quiet day at the hospital. Niki was sitting in the waiting room all by herself. She had her knees to her chest and staring at her shoes. Niki felt someone sit next to her, but didn’t look up.
“Hey, happy birthday,” The voice said, putting his arm around her.
“Thanks Greg,” She said, still not looking at him.
Greg shook his head, “Look Niki you gotta talk to someone and you can’t keep your emotions bottled up,”
She sighed, “Greg, I don’t wanna talk about it, not to you, or Sarry, or Nick, not to anyone, I just want Lauren to wake up and everything to go back to normal,” Niki fought back tears; she wasn’t going to cry in front of him.
“Fine,” Greg said, defeated, “But I got something for you; a birthday present,” Greg pulled a poorly wrapped box out of his back pocket and handed it to Niki.
She studied it, and then started to unwrap the box. Niki opened to box to reveal necklace. It was silver with a cluster of hearts of different shapes and sizes on the chain.
“It’s beautiful,” Niki gushed, “You didn’t have to,”
“I wanted to,” Greg said simply, “Here let me put in on for you,” Niki handed him the necklace and she pulled her hair out of the way. Greg placed it on her neck and clasped it together.
She turned around and smiled, “Thanks,”
_______________________________________________________________________
Jake was in Lauren room, just sitting there. He wasn’t to sure why he was there, but he was. He noticed her start to stir and he leaned over to see what was gonna happen.
Laurens eye sight was blurry, she couldn’t give people faces. She saw someone leaning over her and she just assumed it was Nick J. Lauren grabbed the figure by the shirt and started to pull him in.
Niki and Greg walked into the room and saw what was going on.
“Makin’ the moves on my sister while she is in a coma,” Niki said, cracking her knuckles, “Not I very wise decision Jake,”
“I’m not in coma… or at least not anymore,” Lauren said, hoarsely.
“Lauren!” Niki screeched and ran over to her twin, “Oh my god! Greg tell everyone Lauren’s awake!” Greg ran out of the room, and Jake just left to help.
Lauren noticed Niki’s necklace and said, “Let me guess Greg got that for you?”
“Yea, so,” She new her twin was gonna get at something.
“He totally likes you!”

So sports are a major part of high school life. So here is another sports game!
“Geez, Kells, it’s not that hard,” Niki told her, and then giggled, “That’s what she said.”
“Ew, unnecessary! And I don’t get these stupid proofs. I shouldn’t have taken Geometry,” she explained.
“Well, you have to keep your grades up. You have to make varsity this year.”
“Kells, what’d you get for number one on that Biology homework?”
“DNA,” she answered, looking at her Biology paper. “We learned this in September.”
“Yeah, I just didn’t feel like thinking,” Lilly laughed, making Kelly glare.
“Focus, you are the only good point on our team,” Niki ordered.
“Why don’t you do it? I’m sick of proofs!”
“Well, you’ll get them. Just learn your definitions”
“Alright is this CPCTC?” she pointed to the now complete proof.
“Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent?” she received a nod in reply. “Now, you just have to finish these two proofs.” Kelly groaned loudly.
“I can’t concentrate with that bit of PDA over there,” Kelly pointed towards Lauren and Nick J. “And now Nick is here so he and Sarry are going to start fighting again! And if I don’t bring up my Geometry grade, Coach Lawson isn’t going to pick me for varsity!”
“Yeah, but that’s your fault. We were supposed to study but…” Hawkes was cut off by the sound of a bickering couple.
“What’re you doing here?” Sarry asked Nick fiercely.
“Good point, what is he doing here at my house?” Kelly mumbled.
“I came to pick up Lauren and Niki,” he answered calmly.
“Nicky, I’m helping Kelly with Geometry,” Niki yelled back, “And I can drive!”
“Her fault and you don’t have a car!” he shouted.
“Okay, this is the least fun game ever,” a mumble came from above a Geometry worksheet. “And I so understand them now!” A chuckle came from the kitchen. “I didn’t think I was joking.”
“Thank your parents for us,” Nick came into the room and dragged Lauren and Niki out.
“Will do,” came a reply. Under her breath she added, “Next time I visit them.” …………………………………………………………………
Tonight was the big game. Girl’s varsity soccer had made it to the state finals. They worked hard all season to get here and now here they were. The girls were warming up ready to play their hearts out. This was it, this was for everything. The title, the pride, and the respect. Last year the Panthers made it to the finals but lost because of a bad call against Niki. But this was their year. They were faster, stronger, better, but most of all they were a team.
The game was about to start so the Panthers huddled up for a pep talk.
“Alright girls, this is it. We’ve worked our asses off to get here. This is our time to shine.” Niki said with all the heart she could.
Sarry continued, “You have to put everything you have into this game. Leave everything you have on the field. It’s our year!”
“Look we are way better then them,” Lauren added, “We have Panther pride!”
The rest of the girls began to whoop and haler. The three captains really knew how to give a pep talk.
The announcer began to talk over the loud speaker to get everyone’s attention. He played the national anthem and began to introduce the players of the opposing team. Finally the announcer started introducing the Panther’s players. He started with the two outside forwards. Then he introduced the mid-fielders.
“Junior Center midfielder, number 19 and Captain Sarry Miller!” The announcer shouted. The girls cheered and high five Sarry as she ran at to the center of the field.
The announcer continued, “Sophomore Center midfielder number 10, and Captain Lauren Stokes!” Lauren ran out to the field after Niki tackled her and the other girls gave her high fives.
Next the announcer shouted the outside defenders and the sweeper names, numbers and positions over the loud speaker.
“And now Sophomore Stopper number 17 and Captain Niki Stokes!” The announcer shouted. Niki gave every girl a high five and ran to the field.
All the Panther starters huddled up on their side of the field.
“Alright, girls, this is it. We play, we fight, and we win!” Lauren shouted.
Sarry started the cheer, “Who are we?”
“The Panthers!” The girls added.
Lauren said again, “Who are we?”
“The Panthers!” The girls shouted even lauder.
“Who are we?” Niki shouted with a questioning tone.
“The Panthers!” All the girls shouted at the top of their lungs.
The referee blew this whistle and the game began. …………………………………………………………………
The teams were pretty evenly matched. The game was mostly played in the middle of the field. Niki was beating the Wolves Senior Center striker to every ball and teaching her a thing or two. Sarry and Lauren were controlling the middle but the defense of the Wolves was pretty strong.
Twenty minutes into the game and the Wolves Striker was getting frustrated. She couldn’t face the fact that a sophomore was showing her up. This should have been her game. But she knew what she had to do.
Niki had the ball at her feet and her back toward the other teams’ goal. The Wolves Striker was on her back trying to not let her turn. When the ref couldn’t notice the striker shoved Niki in the back, causing Niki fall to the ground. The Wolves striker got the ball and took it pass the defense scoring their first goal.
Everyone in the Panthers stands started moaning about the lack of a call. They knew it was a foul and that it should have been called. Nick looked at his sister as she started to get up. He knew that she was going to rip the ref a new one.
“Come on Niki, remember the team needs you! Don’t flip too much.” Nick said to himself.
Greg overheard him, “What’s she going to do?” Nick looked at Greg and said, “Just watch.”
Niki got up and immediately began to yell at the ref, “Sir! Are you blind! She freaking shoved me in the back! Do you not know the rules?!?”
“Number 17 I know how to ref! I do not need you telling me what to do!” The ref shouted back.
“Obviously you do!” Niki yelled, “Otherwise you wouldn’t have missed that obvious call!”
“One more word out of you 17 and I will card you!” The ref threatened.
Niki was about to say something else when Sarry came up behind her and turned Niki to face her, “Nik Nak you need to calm down. We need you and if you get carded you get thrown out of the game.”
Niki nodded and took a deep breath. She was getting that goal back, no matter what.
…………………………………………………………………
There were ten minutes left in the first half and the Panthers had a throw-in inside the Wolves eighteen. Niki called the midfielder off the throw-in so she could take it herself. She took a few big steps back and bounced the ball a couple of times. The forwards and midfielders were packed in the box waiting for Niki to throw the ball. Niki began to run and did a front handspring on top of the ball. As she stood up from the front handspring Niki let go of the ball and sent it flying into the box. Sarry jumped out and headed the ball into the back of the net.
All the girls ran to Sarry and Niki and tackled them. They game was now tied.
The Panther fans were shouting and stomping their feet. Everyone loved that throw-in.
“That is the sickest throw ever! Adri shouted over the crowd.
“I know!” Kelly added, “I wish I could do something like that!”
The last seven minutes of the half was all about clearing the ball and not letting the Wolves score. The Panthers knew that it would be tough for them to get another goal and keep the lead for another 40 minutes. Finally it was half time. …………………………………………………………………
Sierra, Caitie, Jake, and Ryan were standing together waiting for half time to be over.
“I wish I understood soccer better,” Caitie started, “Three of my friends play it and I come to most of their games but I understand nothing.”
“Neither do I, but I do know it’s a tie and if no one scores in the second half it goes into overtime and if they don’t score then, then it’s a shoot out.” Sierra added.
“I remember one year, when we were freshman, one of the games went into a shoot out and Sarry had to take one. She killed that ball into the back of the net. It was sick!” Ryan said. …………………………………………………………………
The second half began and bodies were flying everywhere. Either to get the ball or being shoved away from it. The game was getting a little out of hand and the ref wasn’t doing anything about it. The first 30 minutes the ball stayed in the middle of the field. But finally the Panthers got a break.
Niki got the ball from the striker, she dribble toward the outside midfielder; Niki passed the ball to her outside mid who crossed the ball across to Lauren. Lauren took the ball to the corner flag, passed the ball through the legs of the defender and crossed it in the box. The Wolves sweeper got the ball but kicked it out at the end line, giving the Panthers a corner kick.
Sarry set up for a corner kick, while the Panthers got into the box. Sarry sent the ball soaring into the box. Niki went up for the header, but the Wolves Striker shoved her while in the air. Niki fell to the ground and literally ate dirt.
The Panther fans moaned in pain as Niki got off the ground.
“Man that looked like it hurt!” Horatio said, tilting his head.
Kat sighed, “Don’t worry Niki will shake it off. She’s tough.”
The ref actually called the foul.
Niki looked at the ref and said, “Oh so I gotta eat dirt to get a foul called. Okay, I’ll remember that.”
“Not another word 17.” The ref threatened, as he placed the ball on the penalty line.
Niki fixed the ball to her liking and picked the corner she was going to place the ball. The ref blew the whistle and Niki took a deep breath. She jogged toward the ball and kicked it, placing it into the upper left hand corner of the net. The girls ran toward Niki screaming and cheering. The score was now 1-2, Panthers on top. …………………………………………………………………
Everything was now all defense for the Panthers. Everyone was playing back and marking man to man. The fans were on the edge of the seats. Nick, Allie, Kat, Horatio, and Warrick were all standing, to nervous to sit down.
“Come on guys! You got this!” Allie shouted.
“Come on Sarry pie! Do it Nickels! Bring it Laur Laur!” Kat yelled to the three girls.
“Man if they win, they are like, the best in the state!” Warrick said to Nick.
Nick nodded, “Yeah, they deserve it!” …………………………………………………………………
60 seconds where left in the game. The Wolves Striker had the ball and Niki was hustling back to get her. So Niki slide tackled the ball. She poked the ball away from the striker who fell over her body. Lauren received the loose ball and dribbled it up a little then chipped it over the midfielder’s head. Sarry caught the ball on her foot and turned to face the Wolves goal. Sarry faked left, and then pushed the ball to her right; faking out the defender.
Now it was just Sarry against the keeper. She had at least thirty yards to get to the goal. She began to speed dribble toward the goal, occasionally looking up at the score board.
Five seconds were left and Sarry had gotten fifteen yards away from the goal. The Sweeper was on Sarry’s back trying to get the ball.
“Sarry shoot it!” Niki shouted and that’s exactly what she did. She shot the ball and it bounced off the cross bar and out of bounds. Sarry sighed, but then realized the game was over. The Panthers had won, they were state champions.
The crowd was going wild. This was there first Championship ever. The Miami High soccer program was never that good until now. And now they had the title to prove it. All the girls ran to each other and tackled one another. The excitement was overwhelming. They other team walked quietly off the field with their heads lowered. They weren’t to excited to hear the “its okay we lost” talk, cause it never was okay. …………………………………………………………………
Out in the parking lot Adri and Flack were talking. A few Wolves fans were standing within earshot of them. Adri over heard one of the Wolves fan say something bad about Niki.
“Flack, do something!” Adri whined, “They are talking about Niki!”
Flack gave her a look, “What do you want me to do?”
“I don’t know! But do something!”
Flack rolled his eyes and walked over to the guy. He tapped him on the shoulder and said, “Listen pal if you wanna talk trash about her… Oh wait you might not want to do that cause she could kick your ass.”
“Look that number 17 chick has no game on my girlfriend. She’s a cheater.” The Wolves Striker’s boyfriend said.
“I guess your girlfriend just can’t face the fact that she sucks at soccer and a sophomore is way better then her!” Flack studied the guy, “Oh I know why you two are together. Cause you suck at hockey too!”
“Oh now you are asking for it!” The boyfriend threatened, and then punched Flack in the face.
Flack checked his nose to see if it was bleeding. It was. So he tackled the guy. The two boys were rolling on the ground beating each other to a pulp. A circle had formed around them, everyone chanting ‘Fight, fight, fight!’ On the dark concrete you could see the blood stains forming.
Finally Nick and Warrick came to break up the fight. Nick grabbed Flack by the shirt and pulled him off the Wolves fan. He took him to the side away from the circle. Warrick helped the boyfriend up and told him if he wanted to keep his pretty face, he should take a walk. And that’s what he and his goons did.
“I’m not going to lie,” Caitie started, “Flack with blood running down his face is really hot!”
“I know! And the fact that two hot guys were fighting each other made it like… awesome!” Adri added.
Lauren, Sarry and Niki came up from the field. They each noticed the blood stains and Flack’s… disheveled look.
“What did we miss?” Sarry asked.
“Two hot guys fight.” Sierra said plainly.
“Oh my god! Why do I always miss that kind of stuff! It’s not fair! WHY?!?” Lauren cried to the sky.
Niki rolled her eyes, “A little over dramatic there, Laur.” Everyone laughed.
Nick and Flack walked back to their group. Nick went over to Sarry and gave her a victory kiss, the Stokes sister all ewed in unison.
“Hey watch it Niki and Lauren, who has a license? Oh I do. And you can you only drive with? A person with a license. And who has a car? Me.” Nick told them.
“Nik Nak, you can drive my car back to your place.” Sarry offered.
“Thanks PIC!” Niki took the keys from Sarry, “See you all at our place!” Niki ran to Sarry’s car.
“Aw she’s so cute,” Sarry sighed. She walked over and kissed Nick goodbye and walked to her car.
“Nick, I’m driving your car!” Lauren shouted and picked pocketed the keys from him.
“I’m driving with Lauren!” Allie said and followed her and Nick to his car.
Flack turned to Adri and asked, “Do you want me to give you a ride?”
“No,” She smiled, “I’m going to go with Niki.” She kissed Flack goodbye and walked to Sarry’s car.
“Crap,” Greg just realized something, “I need a ride home.”
“My mom can give you one, Greg,” Hawkes answered him, “And you too, Kelly.”
“It’s okay I’m going with Lauren. I’m staying at their place tonight anyway. Bye Sheldon!” She waved and walked to Nick’s car.
“Sheldon…” Greg snickered.
“Caitie and I will meet you back at your place!” Sierra shouted while hopping in her car. Caitie did the same thing but on the passenger side.
Niki pulled Sarry’s car up to the passenger side of Horatio’s car and opened the window. Kat did the same and asked, “What’s up?”
“You gonna come with us? We are getting ice cream.” Niki asked.
“No it’s okay, I have my own dessert.” Kat said with a sly smirk.
“Gross! I didn’t need to hear that! God! Oh man!” Niki closed the window and looked at everyone in the car, “That was way too much info!”
“Do not talk Nik Nak!” Sarry said, “You do not spend as much time with her as I do.”
“Still Niki and I, we have virgin ears. We shouldn’t be hearing that kind of stuff.” Adri said, holding back laughter.
Sarry just shook her head and motioned Niki to start driving. Tonight was going to be a long, but totally fun night.
