That night the guys stepped up on to the front porch of the house.

"I am never flying on Thanksgiving again" Howie said.

"Wait a minute" AJ said before Brian opened the door.

"What?" Brian asked.

"Listen" AJ said as they all went silent.

"I don't hear anything" Howie said.

"Exactly!" AJ said to him.

"He's right, no music, no screaming, no fighting"Brian said.

"Oh my god they died!" Nick said.

They opened the door, the living room was immaculate, a fire burned in the fire place.

"Oh this is not good" Howie said.

"Someone broke in, killed the boys and cleaned up" AJ said as they looked around.

"Hey look who's home" Kevin said coming in from the kitchen with a wine glass.

"Hey" they said to him happily as they all exchanged hugs.

"What are you doing here?" Brian asked.

"Came home for the holidays" Kevin said taking a sip of wine.

"Hey welcome home" Vicki said coming into the living room.

"Hey" Brian said to her "Wow, what's going on?" he asked.

"The boys have a surprise for you" she said.

"Drink anyone?" Kellie asked coming into the living room with a tray filled with glasses and wine.

"Whatever this surprise is I like it so far" Howie said as she filled their glasses.

The boys set the dining room table, Bradley sat with a goofy expression on his face.

"I feel good" he said laughing.

"Yeah I bet you do" Neilson said patting his head.

"Hey guys they're here" Kyle said running in, they all stood together.

"Whoa" Howie said as they filed into the dining room.

"Surprise!" they said.

"Hey! Dad's home!" Bradley said.

"Wow look at this" Kevin said coming into the dining room.

"Complete Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings" Kellie said bringing in a plate with a giant golden turkey on it.

"You guys did all this?" AJ asked.

"Well we tried to" Kyle said.

"They really did you're lucky this house is still here" Melissa said sitting at the table.

"Everyone have a seat" Vicki said as she, Sasha and Melissa brought other dishes into the room while Christina brought in another bottle of wine.

Brian looked over at the bandage wrapped around Bradley's hand, he picked it up and looked at it "Do I want to know?" he asked Vicki.

"No" she said as he dropped his hand back down on the table.

"Neilson did it" Harry said as he sat across from him at the table, Neilson threw a dinner roll at him.

"Hey! None of that!" Sasha said to him.

"Yeah you can bully each other tomorrow" Nick said.

"Should we say grace? Kev?" Vicki asked.

"Sure" he said as they all held hands "Dear lord, we want to thank you for bringing us all together on Thanksgiving, we thank you for the food in front of us and we thank you for the boys who were thoughtful enough to plan it for us and thank you for their mothers who stepped in and kept the house from burning to the ground, amen"

"Alright" Howie said.

"Lets eat" they said before passing dishes around, that night the table was filled with laughter and love.- We Gather Together

Lizzie looked into the oven and saw the turkey turn a golden brown.

“Hey, look who’s here” Brian said coming into the kitchen with his parents.

“Oh hello!” Lizzie said cheerfully hugging Jackie.

“I made my famous sweet potatoes, I hope you don’t mind” Jackie said handing her a dish.

“Oh of course not, these look delicious, thank you!” Lizzie said to her.

“Well I wanted to thank you for letting us join you for Thanksgiving dinner” Jackie said.

“Oh it’s no problem at all, after all, we’re practically family now” Lizzie said.

“Oh I’m so excited to meet our grandson” Jackie gushed.

“I think we all are” Lizzie said.

“Well hello there” Vicki said waddling into the kitchen, her hands on her back.

“Oh, hi sweetheart” Jackie said hugging her “My goodness look at you” she said standing back “How do you feel dear?” she asked.

“Fat” Vicki said laughing “I’m actually glad you’re all here because I have some very important news” Vicki said “I picked a name” she said turning to Brian.

"Right...names" he said nervously "Funny thing I wanted to talk to you about that actually..." he said to her.

“What name did you pick honey?” Lizzie asked her.

“Now if you don’t like it that’s fine but I think it’s the perfect name for our son” Vicki said.

“Well? Come on what is it?” Lizzie asked impatiently.

“What do you think of Bradley James?" Vicki asked excitedly, Lizzie and Jackie both cooed.

“Oh I love that" Jackie said to Vicki.

“It’s perfect!” Lizzie said.

“I know, well you know I was thinking James after my dad and Bradley, I’ve just always loved that name…so?” Vicki asked "What do you think?" she asked.

"Bradley...I like it...it's nice...yeah..." Brian said nervously.

“What’s wrong?” Vicki asked.

“Okay…before I say anything I just want to remind you that the doctor said that you are supposed to avoid stress…” Brian said.

"Did you do something stupid?" Lizzie asked.

"Well...define stupid" he said.

“Brian Thomas” Jackie said in a warning tone.

“Okay, fine, awhile back…I was talking to Jason…” Brian said to Vicki.

“Oh this is never good” Jackie groaned.

“And I may have promised Jason we would name the baby after him” he said covering his head.

“You did what?!” Vicki asked angrily.

“How could you do that?” Jackie asked.

“I'm sorry okay, it was way back in the summer when you first found out you were pregnant we were hanging out…” he said.

“I can't believe you!” Vicki said angrily.

"Vicki, honey, calm...stress is not good for you or the baby" Lizzie said to her as she took a deep breath.

"Look I'm sorry, obviously I should've told you" he said sadly.

"Yeah!" Vicki said.

"Vicki, I'm sorry, okay, I was wrong” he said to her.

“Oh this is so much more than wrong” Vicki said.

“If you like the name Bradley, then that’s what we’ll do, if that's the name you want for our son than its fine with me, I promise" he said.

She sighed “This goes against my better judgement but…I guess if you really want to name the baby after Jason then…what if we made Jason his middle name?” she asked.

“No come on you don’t have to do that” he said.

“Yes I do” she said reluctantly, rolling her eyes.

He smiled at her “You’re amazing you know that?” he asked kissing her head.

“Anyone ELSE you promised to name our son after?” Vicki asked.

He looked at her nervously “No…” he said laughing.

“You did didn’t you?” she asked in disbelief.

“I…may…have…” he said turning away from her.

"Who?!" Vicki asked.

“On Halloween I told Nick that if I had a boy I’d name it after him” he said clinching his eyes shut.

She pulled the refrigerator door opened and took a pie from the top shelf, she grabbed a fork and walked out of the kitchen "I'll be in my room" she said taking the pie with her.

"I love you!" he called after her when he heard her bedroom door slam shut, Jackie then swatted him with a dish towel "ow" he said.

“Okay everyone! Time for dinner!” Michelle yelled into the living room.

Everyone filed into the dining room, AJ pulled Melissa’s chair out for her as they sat across from Jessie and Jeremy. Jack sat at the head of the table, Michelle then came into the room, a large plump turkey sat on a serving as she carried it in.

“Ooh” everyone said in delight, gazing at it's deliciousness.

“That’s a good looking bird” Jeremy said.

“It smells amazing” Melissa said.

Michelle set the tray in front of Jack “Sweetheart will you do the honors?” she asked handing him a carving knife.

“Don’t mind if I do” he said cutting into the bird “Okay, who wants dark meat?” he asked.

“Before we say grace I want to make a sort of announcement” Jessie said.

“Oh my god, you’re having twins?” Michelle asked excitedly.

“Oh god no” Jessie said “No, Jeremy and I finally settled on a name for our little girl” she said.

“Oh that’s wonderful!” Michelle said “So? Don’t keep us in suspense, what is it?” she asked.

“Eve!” Jessie said happily.

“Eve?” Melissa asked in confusion.

“Oh that’s so pretty” Michelle said.

“I thought so too” Jessie said.

“It was also my grandmother’s name” Jeremy said to Michelle.

“Aw that’s nice” Michelle said.

“Eve? Really?” Melissa asked once more.

“There a problem?” Jessie asked her.

“It’s just…it’s kind of weird don’t you think?” Melissa asked.

“How is it weird?” Jessie asked.

“Jess, think for a second…I name my son Adam, you name your daughter Eve…you get where I’m going with this?” Melissa asked.

“Adam and Eve, that is so cute” Michelle said putting food on her plate.

“Oh god you’re right that is weird” Jessie said.

"You know it’s not too late to go with Chandler" he said to Melissa, she looked at him angrily "Or not" he said.

Kellie and her sister set the dining room table, her dad sat in a chair with Kyle in his arms when the doorbell rang "I got it" Kellie said rushing to the front door.

"Happy Thanksgiving" Kevin said standing there with Ann.

"Happy Thanksgiving" Kellie said hugging him "Thank you so much for coming" she said hugging Ann.

"Thank you for inviting us" Ann said to her warmly.

"Oh hi" Lynda said giving Ann a hug.

"I brought something I hope that's okay" Ann said handing Lynda a dish.

"Oh of course" Lynda said taking the dish from her.

"Need any help in the kitchen?" Ann asked.

"That would be great thank you" Lynda said as they went into the kitchen.

"Look who's here" Kellie said taking Kyle from her dad.

"Hey there he is" Kevin said as Kellie cradled him in her arms "How's my little man?" he asked "It’s your first Thanksgiving" he said taking him from Kellie and holding him "Happy first Thanksgiving" he said.

"He's thrilled" Kellie said as she noticed Kyle had fallen asleep.

Sasha stood against her kitchen counter with a plate in her hand, food piled on top of it.

Kathleen came into the kitchen and saw her eating. “Sasha!” she said irritated “We haven’t even started dinner yet!” she said.

“…Oops?” Sasha said.

Kathleen sighed in irritation.

“Mom I’m sorry okay but this is not me, this is your grandson” Sasha said.

“fine…just promise me you’ll stay away from the pies” Kathleen said.

“There’s pie?!” Sasha asked opening the refrigerator door.

“Ah ah ah!” Kathleen said to her “Get out of there” she said shutting the refrigerator on her.

The doorbell then rang “Can you get that? I need to check on the turkey” Kathleen said to Sasha.

“Sure…oh by the way…the turkey may or may not be missing a drum stick” Sasha said to her.

Sasha waddled into the living room and opened the door, Nick stood there on the porch.

“Hey” he said smiling at her “Happy Thanksgiving” he said giving her a kiss.

“Happy Thanksgiving” she said surprised.

“Mm cranberry sauce” he said licking his lips.

“Yeah I was just testing the food to make sure everything came out okay” she said “What are you doing here? I thought you were having a nice normal Thanksgiving for a change?” she asked.

“Yeah we were for about five minutes before my parents started arguing” he said as she let him inside.

Sasha sighed “What happened now?” she asked.

“Mashed potatoes” he said.

"Are you kidding me?” Sasha asked him.

“I really wish I were” he said.

“So you didn’t get to eat at all?” she asked.

“Well I was going to until my mom took all of our plates and shoved them all in the sink and told us that if we thought we could make dinner so much better than her we were welcome to it” he said.

“I’m so sorry” she said.

“Oh hi Nickolas” Kathleen said coming into the living room.

“Hi Mrs. Miller” he said smiling at her.

“Mom would it be okay if Nick stayed for dinner?” Sasha asked.

“Of course” Kathleen said “I’ll set you a plate” she said going into the dining room.

“You didn’t have to do that” Nick said.

“Of course I did, it’s Thanksgiving” Sasha said to him.

“So, how’s little Neilson today?” he asked patting her stomach.

“Shh!” Sasha said to him “I want to keep it secret, I want to surprise my dad” she said.

“Right, sorry” he said as they whispered back and forth.

Craig then came down the steps “Oh, Carter, what are you doing here?” he asked reaching the bottom.

“He came for dinner” Sasha said to him.

“Oh…well there goes my one thing I’m thankful for this year” he said going into the dining room.

“Craig” Kathleen said scolding him “Come on everyone! Dinner’s ready!” Kathleen called out, she took his hand and they went into the dining room.

The doorbell at Christina's house rang, Louise answered it.

"Happy Thanksgiving" her daughter, Tracie said to her.

"Oh it’s so good to see you" Louise said hugging her "Hi Will" she said to Tracie's husband.

"Happy Thanksgiving" Will said as they entered the house.

"Let me take your coats, can I get anyone a drink?" Louise asked.

"Later, where are Chrissie and the baby? I want to meet my nephew" Tracie said to her.

"Upstairs in the nursery" Louise said to her.

Christina sat in a rocking chair with Harry in her arms, making sucking noises from the pacifier in his mouth.

"Hi" Tracie said quietly as she went into the room.

"Hi" Christina said to her in a whisper.

"Oh my goodness, look at him" she said leaning over the rocking chair.

"Harry, this is your aunt Tracie" Christina said to him as she still sucked on his pacifier.

"So precious" Tracie cooed.

"Want to hold him?" Christina asked.

"Please" Tracie said as Christina stood up and passed him over, Will then came into the room.

"Hey Will" Christina said she said standing up to hug him.

"Hey Chrissie" he said hugging her.

"Will look" Tracie said as she held Harry "The first boy in our family" Tracie said.

"Hey buddy, I'm your uncle Will" Will said to Harry.

"Oh Chrissie...he's perfect" Tracie said looking at him.

"Yes he is" Christina said taking him back.

"Mom dad, I'd like you to meet Jake" Leigha said introducing her boyfriend to Drake and Louise.

"Look who's here" Tracie said as she and Will came down the steps.

"Hey" Leigha said upon seeing them "Jake, this is my older sister Tracie and my brother in law, Will" she said hugging them.

"Nice to meet you guys" Jake said.

"Hi everyone" Christina said as she came down the steps with Harry in her arms.

"Oh my god" Leigha said "Jake, this is my little sister Chrissie" she said hugging her.

"Hi" Christina said to him "And this is Harry" Christina said.

"My first little nephew" Leigha said "He's so cute."

"Yes he is" Christina said looking down at him in her arms.

"Everyone? Dinner is served" Louise said as they all made their way towards the dining room and took their seats.

~*~

"Okay shall we say grace? Jack?" Michelle asked.

"Dear lord, we ask you to bless this table and we thank you for this food before us...We thank you for bringing us all together today...and we thank you for the days to come...Amen".- Pomp & Circumstance; Ch.27: "Giving Thanks"

[pureimaginefic]

"Hello again" the doctor said returning to the room "Just came to check where we are" she said examining Christina once more. "Good news, ten centimeters, you're ready to deliver" she said.

"Really?" Christina asked "Right now?" she asked.

"Right now, you're about to be a mom" she said.

"Oh god this is really happening" she said nervously.

"You okay?" he asked her.

"I don't know...this is really happening the baby is coming out now" she said.

"I know, you ready?" he asked.

"I think so...I want my mom" she whined.

He sat parked by her side, holding her hand tightly in his.

"You okay?" Louise asked.

"This is it; I'm scared" Christina said.

"Oh don't you worry, everything is going to be just fine, you'll see" Louise said to her in a reassuring voice.

"Will you stay with me?" Christina asked her.

"Of course I will" Louise said to her.

The doctor and a nurse returned to the room, shutting the door behind them.

"Christina, on your next contraction I want you to start pushing" the doctor said pulling a mask over her face, Christina nodded absently.

"Everything's going to be alright, I'm right here okay?" Howie asked kissing her head.

"I love you" she said to him, he smiled.

"I love you too" he said smoothing her hair away from her face.

"Okay, ready? 1, 2, 3...push" the doctor said, Christina grabbed his and her mom's hand, squeezing tightly. "Come on, just a few more, you're doing good Christina" the doctor said coaching her "ready, 1, 2, 3...push" Christina gritted her teeth, a loud screeching sound escaping her throat. "He's crowning" the doctor said "come on, Christina, you can do this" Christina pushed harder, her mom holding her leg back towards her chest.

"Come on sweetie, you're almost there, you can do this" Louise said to her, Christina continued pushing.

"Oh my god" Howie said in awe, watching the baby emerge. Christina fell back in exhaustion.

"Here he is" the doctor said holding him up, his arms and legs flailing about, wailing loudly.

"That was the most amazing thing I've ever seen" he said, still in shock "Want to cut the cord?" The doctor asked him, she handed him a pair of surgical scissors.

He cut the cord and she handed him off to a waiting nurse. They wrapped him tightly in a blanket and handed him off to Christina.

"My goodness...hi" she said happily.

"Hello little prince" Louise said kissing the baby's forehead and then Christina's.

"Our little boy" she said as a tear began to fall down her cheek.

"He's our boy alright" he said kissing Christina's head, they looked down at him.

"Hi angel" Christina said softly, she leaned in to kiss his little forehead.

"Here he is, our first grandson, the first boy in our family" Drake said focusing in on his video camera. "Little Harrison Drake Dorough" he said taping Harry lying in his little bassinet, a small blue cap snugly on his little head. "November 23, 1991...Happy Birthday little guy” Drake said as the camera shut off.

Christina lied back on the examination table as the doctor dragged the transducer around on her stomach.

"Development is right on track, very healthy, a little small but we can fix that no problem" the doctor said to her "Are you interested in knowing the sex?" she asked.

"Yes" both Howie and Christina said, the doctor laughed "Okay, let's take a look here". "See this right here?" she asked pointing to the screen.

"Oh my god" Christina said laughing.

"It's a boy? It's a boy, that's what I think it is right?" Howie asked excitedly.

"It's a boy alright, congratulations" the doctor said to them "I'll get you a copy" she said.

"It's a boy!" Christina said happily.

"It's a boy!" Howie said as they kissed.

"Here you go" the doctor said handing her a picture.

"Hi, Harry, we cannot wait to finally meet you" Christina said as they looked down at the picture.

[pureimaginefic]

Christina sat up on an examination table wearing a gown.

"You okay?" Kellie asked, pushing her hair back from her face.

"I'm scared" Christina said.

"I know, I know..." Kellie said comfortingly.

"God how I could be so stupid?" Christina said her “I can’t have a baby, not now, what about school? My friends? College? how did you deal with this?" Christina asked.

"About the same way you are right now" Kellie said to her.

The door opened and the doctor came in, looking at her clipboard.

"Well?" Christina asked nervously.

"The tests are conclusive, you're pregnant" the doctor said.

Tears filled her eyes, she looked around the office in shock and fear, she began to sob.

"Christina, since you're under 18, I'm obligated to notify your parents" Doctor Westbourne said softly.

"No please" Christina said to her "I can do it" she said.

"Okay, you want to get started on pre-natal vitamins and you're going to want to schedule an exam so we can check on the baby and make sure it is developing properly" the doctor said to her.

Christina nodded, tears still trickling down her face.

"I'll give you a few minutes" she said leaving the room.

“Kel” she said crying and latching on to her.

“It's going to be okay" Kellie said soothingly.

Howie and Christina reached her house and climbed the steps to the porch, she opened the front door and flipped on the lights "Hello? Mom?!" she asked, noticing a piece of paper sitting on the coffee table "Dinner and movies with the Templeton's, be back later" she read.

"Hmm...we're alone" Howie said to her, pulling her close.

"We are" Christina said, she grabbed his hand and sat on the couch, he pulled her close and they began kissing hungrily.

Howie slid his hand up her sweater and cupped her breast while sliding the other up her skirt, gently squeezing her thigh. She ran her fingers through his hair, gasping and whimpering at his touch, she pushed him backwards so they were laying on the couch. She kissed his neck, nipping at his skin with her teeth, taking his earlobe into her teeth. She began to stroke him gently through the fabric on his pants, she could hear his breaths becoming quicker.

"Chris, please" he said breathlessly, she looked down at him.

"Want to go upstairs?" she asked sliding her hand under his sweater, her fingertips feeling soft on his skin.

"Please" he said in an almost pleading tone, she slid off of him and pulled him upstairs behind her.

Howie carried her into her room, her legs wrapped around his waist. He gently dropped her on to the bed, she looked up at him as she frantically unbuckled his belt and pulled his pants down. He kicked them off and frantically pulled his sweater over his head, getting stuck.

Christina laughed "need some help?" she asked as she pulled it off of him.

Howie tore her sweater off of her and slid her skirt down, before collapsing on to her bed. Christina flipped him over and straddled his waist, she pushed her hair back running her fingers through it. He reached up and slid the straps of her bra down her shoulders as she reached behind her and unhooked it.

His hands fell from her shoulders and to her breasts as he cupped them gently, he ran his hands down her sides, coming to a stop at her waist. He hooked his fingers into the band of her panties and slid them off. She could feel him becoming harder underneath her, she pulled and released him from his boxers. As she sank down on top of him, slipping inside her entirely, he threw his head back, and closed his eyes. He kept his hands on her hips and she rocked back and forth on top of him, his hands roamed back up to her breasts feeling them and gently flicking her nipples. Her head fell back as his thrusts became harder, she bounced as she sat on top of him.

"Chris" he moaned grabbing onto the pillow underneath his head, she gasped and whimpered, getting him even more turned on. His thrusts became harder and faster "oh god Chris" he moaned gripping the pillow tightly in his fists they both cried out in passion. He started to slow down before coming to an eventual stop, she fell against him and they began kissing once more.

Kyle made his way down a hallway, looking at slip of paper in his hand, he stopped outside a door and knocked softly.

The door opened and Harry stood there “Kyle!” he said happily “Hey!” he said.

“Hey” Kyle said smiling as they hugged.

“What brings you over the bridge?” Harry asked.

“Uh actually I had something I needed to talk to you about is there somewhere we can go?” Kyle asked.

“Yeah sure”.

They made their way across campus and took a seat together in a small coffee shop “So, how’s everything going here?” Kyle asked.

“Oh it’s great” Harry said “I got a job interning for a photographer.”

“Cool” Kyle said.

“Yeah, what about you? How’s NYU?” Harry asked.

“Great, yeah, everything’s going pretty well” Kyle said.

“So…you said you wanted to talk about something? Must’ve been pretty important” Harry said.

“Yeah uh…you talk to the others at all lately?” Kyle asked.

“Yeah right like they’d call me” Harry said to him.

“Okay look, I thought I saw something…someone today” Kyle said to him.

“Who?” Harry asked.

“Damien” Kyle said reluctantly.

“Damien?” Harry asked “Damien Winchester?”

“Yes, who do you think I’m talking about?” Kyle asked.

“How? Where?” Harry asked.

“I don’t know, I was in Central Park and…”

“Central Park? Kyle do you know how many people go to Central Park a day?”

“Harry it was him, I know it alright he had that obnoxious grin on his face like always.”

“That’s not possible, he’s dead, we checked this time, he fell from a balcony there’s no coming back from that” Harry said.

“I know, I know…I just…I don’t know, I could’ve swore it was him.”

“Is that why you came here? To warn me about a possible Damien sighting?”

“That and I needed a logical person to tell me that my mind is making me see what I want to see” Kyle said.

“It’s just bad memories, Halloween’s coming up right?” Harry asked.

“Mm” Kyle said nodding.

“Remember what happened last Halloween?” he asked.

“Well yeah it’s not every day you get caught in an explosion” Kyle said.

“You can’t tell me that it hasn’t been on your mind.”

“So I’m just insane” Kyle said.

“Not insane, just a severe case of PTSD” Harry said “Kyle…it’s over…he’s gone.”

Someone sat watching them from across the room, peeking from behind a newspaper, they picked up their cup and took a sip of their drink.

Kyle and Harry left the coffee shop, a cab hovered by the curb “Got to get back to the big city” Kyle said opening the back door.

“Save your money and call next time?” Harry joked “Alright, later” Kyle said getting into the cab and closing the door “Bye” Harry said as they cab pulled away from the curb. he began to walk along the darkened sidewalks as he made his way back to the dorms, he could feel a presence behind him and stopped to turn around, no one was there except for the rustling leaves on a shrub, he looked around nervously and shook his head before continuing on.

Adam and Quinn stood in a line outside of a theater “I promise you’ll love this” she said to him.

“Hours of classic black and white British horror movies? I’m sure I will” he said.

They entered the theater and approached the concession stand “Do you think British popcorn is any different from the American version?” Adam asked.

“Guess we’ll find out” Quinn said to him.

They ventured into the theater and took seats, Adam took a handful of popcorn and put some into his mouth “Oh my god” he said.

“What? No good?” Quinn asked.

“No it’s amazing” he said “You definitely can’t this kind of popcorn back home” he said handing it to her.

He looked around the theater when something caught his eye, a familiar face sitting across the theater, he looked confused before his face fell in horror. Suddenly the lights went dim and he saw what he could swore was Damien get up and walk out of the theater. “I’ll be right back” he said to Quinn before quickly dodging out of the theater, the doors flew open and he walked out into the lobby. He walked through crowds of people, excusing himself as he walked around in a daze, spinning in circles looking around to no avail.

“Adam” Quinn said coming to his side “Adam” she said getting his attention “Hey, are you alright?” she asked concerned.

“I saw him, he was here” he said still looking around.

“Saw who?” she asked confused.

“Did you see him?” he asked.

“Who?” she asked worriedly.

“…No one, I’m sorry, come on let’s go back in.”

“Are you sure? Maybe I should get you home” she said.

“No, really, I’m okay” he said.

“You sure?” she asked.

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

“Okay” she said as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and they returned to their seats, he looked over the theater once again this time seeing nothing.

The streets surrounding the USC campus were alive with a flurry of activity as students flocked the campus. Bradley and Neilson sat at a table together in one of the campus’ most popular hang out spots.

Sydney entered and quickly approached their table “Hey” she said to Bradley happily.

“Hey, there you are” he said as they kissed,

She sat on his lap “Sorry I’m late but I finally managed to finish my first creative writing assignment, I just had to send it over to my professor” she said to him.

“Finally done after the fifteenth time?” he joked.

“Yes” she said “Can you believe this I didn’t think homecoming was this big of a deal” she said looking around.

“I think Halloween might have something do with it too” he said as they looked around at the crowd quickly filling up the bar.

“I’m going to get a drink, I’ll be right back” she said kissing him and getting up from his lap.

“You two with the PDA” Neilson said sitting next to him handing him yet another drink.

Bradley smiled bringing the bottle to his lips and taking a drink, suddenly he spotted something from across the bar. Neilson looked at him, his face falling in confusion at his expression before following his gaze, his face falling as well.

“You’re seeing what I’m seeing right?” Bradley asked.

“I’m definitely seeing what you’re seeing” Neilson said as they saw what they to believe was Damien leave the bar.

They quickly got up and ran outside, they looked around themselves, crowds of people filling the streets.

“That was him right? It was Damien” Neilson said looking around.

“It was him alright, he had that stupid smug look on his face like always” Bradley said as they continued to look around.

“Hey, what’s going on? What’s wrong?” Natalie asked coming outside and approaching them.

“We saw him” Neilson said to her, still looking around aimlessly.

“Saw who?” she asked.

“Damien” he said “Damien? Damien Winchester?” she asked “No, he’s dead” she said.

“Are we really sure about that?” Bradley asked her.

“He fell off of a hotel balcony, there’s no way he could still be alive” she said to them.

“It was him Nat” Neilson said to her.

“How can you be sure?” she asked

“There is one way” Bradley said to them as they looked at him.

Bradley’s headlights shone in the dark night, he pulled up outside the heavy iron gates.

“Guys this is not a good idea” Natalie said as they got out of the car.

They ducked underneath the chain on the cemetery gates and crept inside, their flashlights leading the way.

“How is this gonna look to the police academy when they find out you guys broke into a cemetery on Halloween?” she whispered.

“How would they find out?” Neilson asked.

They walked along the dark path “there it is” Bradley said coming to a mausoleum.

“Come on we can’t do this, this is someone’s final resting place” Natalie said to them.

“We just need to see it” Bradley said to her.

“What is a nameplate on a wall gonna tell you?” she asked.

“She’s right” Neilson said to him “As much as I want to it’s not definitive proof” he said to Bradley.

“It was him though…wasn’t it?” Bradley asked.

“Guys, it’s Halloween, it’s just bad memories, your mind is making you see things that you want to see” Natalie said to them.

“Yeah come on let’s just go” Neilson said to him.

Bradley nodded “Yeah, okay” he said turning back once more to look at the mausoleum.

~*~

They returned to their apartment later that night “Guess that’s what Kyle’s message was all about” Bradley said as they approached their door.

“What’s this?” Neilson asked picking up a box.

“Wasn’t there when we left” Bradley said as they walked inside.

Neilson set the package on the counter, Bradley tore the tape off and opened the box. among the packing peanuts was a plastic bag containing what looked to be a bloody ice pic. Bradley looked at it in confusion and horror, he looked at Neilson who shared his expression.

[pureimaginefic]

It's a dead man's party Who could ask for more? Everybody's comin' leave your body at the door Leave your body and soul at the door...

A cloud of fog covered the large moon hanging in the sky, a low grumbling sound followed by subtle flashes of light lighting up the night.

A steady pulsating beat resonated from the gym, fake cobwebs and plastic spiders were plastered over the front doors of the school. A pair of black boots approached the small staircase, a figure in all black approached the entrance, walked through the black and orange streamers hanging down from the doorway Damien pulled the black fabric away from his face, looking around, he pulled a phone from his costume.

"Meet me in the principal's office" read a message from his father.

He pulled the mask over his face once again and began to walk towards the principal's office, he was pushed aside.

"Oh hey, sorry" a familiar voice said bumping into him, he turned to look and saw Kyle, dressed as Indiana Jones standing before him with an apologetic smile on his face. "Sorry about that" Kyle said once again, making his way towards the gym.

Kyle got to the gym, looking around at the crowd of people that was scattered around. Derek waited in the principal’s office smoking a cigar, watching the smoke cloud in the darkness.

"Hey" Damien said to him, shutting the door behind him.

"Get lost?" Derek asked irritated.

"Sorry...thought I saw something...I bumped into Kyle" Damien said.

Derek looked at him in fear "Did he recognize you?"

"Course not, my face was covered" Damien said to him "Got the stuff?" he asked.

Derek reached into the breast pocket of his jacket pulling out a small pouch and handing it to Damien. "Richardson still buying the secret admirer ruse?" Derek asked.

"Like a sucker" Damien said to him.

"Wonderful, you know what to do" Derek said to him.

Damien pulled the veil back over his face, slipping out of the principal’s office and back into the hallway, he made his way towards the gym. Derek reached into his pocket pulling out a small remote and smiling at it before returning it to his pocket.

Elsewhere, bright red electronic numbers glowed in the dark, counting down quickly, the numbers changing at an accelerated speed.

The lights in the gym were turned down, a disco ball hung from the ceilings, strobe lights flashed in front of the DJ stand. A machine blew thick clouds of fog across the floor, orange and black streamers hung from the ceiling. He pulled his phone from the leather jacket of his costume "I'm here" he wrote in a text message, he looked around when he felt his hand vibrating "Me too ;)" the message read.

Damien stood outside the gym, looking in at the dance, Kyle found his way to his fellow football teammates.

"Coming through! newspaper duty!" Harry, dressed as Harry Potter yelled wading through the dance floor, holding his camera in the air.

He spotted Bradley in a black fedora and a suit, dark sunglasses covering his deep blue eyes standing on the stage.

"Excuse me, excuse me, pardon me, coming through" Harry said squeezing through the crowds of people on the dance floor, a stuffed owl balanced on his shoulder, round framed glasses on his face. He held his camera high up in the air, forcing his way through his dancing classmates.

Damien slithered around the gym, his identity a mystery, Natalie came from backstage in a 60's mod color block dress.

"Whoa" Bradley said as he saw her, he took his sunglasses off and set them on the brim of his hat.

"What do you think?" she asked twirling around.

"Very nice" he said to her.

"Okay...I give up...what are you? Like a CIA... secret service agent or something?" she asked.

"No" he said laughing "I'm Jake Blues" he said.

"Jake who?" she asked.

"Jake Blues? The Blues Brothers?" he asked as she looked at him confusedly "John Belushi? Dan Aykroyd? It's a movie?" he asked.

"Sorry" she said to him.

"You got to be kidding me" he said to her.

"Hey" Neilson said stepping up onto a stage, he wore a costume similar to Bradley's, three cups balanced in his hands "Quick take one before I drop them" he said as Bradley and Natalie each reached for a cup.

"Aww...matching BFF costumes, so cute" Natalie said to them.

"We're The Blues Brothers" Neilson said to her.

"She hasn't seen it" Bradley said to him as he took a drink.

"Course she hasn't she doesn't watch any movie that isn’t The Notebook" Neilson said to him, also taking a drink.

"Excuse me...I have sat through every single one of those ridiculous horror movies you make me watch" she said to them.

"You're watching The Blues Brothers with us, no arguments" Bradley said to her, Damien watched them from just offstage, he dug into his pockets taking out the pouch his father had given him, he disappeared into the dark.

"I have been driving myself crazy all week, it's time to have some fun, let's dance" Natalie said to Neilson.

"You know I don't dance" he said to her.

"Make me another offer however..." he said pulling her close, she smiled.

"Come on" she said grabbing his hand and pulling him along.

"Have fun Elwood" Bradley said to him.

"You owe me a dance too Jake" she said to Bradley.

"I'm here all night" Bradley said to her.

They set their drinks down and headed to the floor, Damien reached out from behind a curtain, knocking a stack of CD's over. They fell to the floor, startling Bradley, he looked around "The hell?" he asked himself, looking down at the floor, seeing the discs rolling around and groaned "Come on" he said to himself, bending down to pick them up. Damien quickly made his move dropping something into their drinks before Bradley could turn around.

He felt his hip vibrate, he looked around and took a phone from his pocket "Where are you?" popped up in a green bubble. He peered out from behind the curtain spotting Kyle at the refreshment table, phone in hand Damien grinned to himself before typing back 'Meet me in the locker room in 15' Kyle held his phone and looked around the gym.

A figure in black, approached Kyle, their heavy breathing going down his neck, Kyle turned and jumped slightly at the sight “Damn it Adam" he groaned.

Adam pulled his helmet off "Hey there Indy” he said "So, any word from your 'secret admirer'?" he asked using his fingers as quotation marks.

"Okay what's with this?" Kyle asked mimicking Adam's air quotations.

"I honestly thought you had more sense than to fall for a secret text message admirer" Adam said to him.

"And what's so bad about that?" Kyle asked.

"Well come on you don't know who could be sending you those messages, it could be some disgusting fat pervert or something...it could be Bradley J. and Neilson for that matter".

"Is it them? Because if it I'm going to beat their ass!" Kyle said irritated.

"I don't know! that's my point you could be getting...what's that word...like a fish or something..." Adam said.

Damien lurked behind them, taking in their conversation, listening carefully.

"Catfished...that's what it is, catfish."

"Catfish?" Kyle asked.

"Yes" Adam said to him "It's a real thing, look it up" Adam said to him.

"...Yeah you can go away now" Kyle said to him.

"Fine...say hi to your sugar daddy for me" Kyle glared at him and shoved him as he walked away.

Damien spilled a tiny pill from the pouch and dropped it into Kyle's drink cup. Kyle then turned around to pick up the cup, Damien had disappeared, he then checked his watch and looked at the giant clock hanging on the wall. "Three down, two to go" Damien texted to his father.

"Okay ready? 1, 2 smile" Harry said as a group of kids stood in front of the spooky backdrop, the flash went off "Great, thanks" he said to them, he pulled his camera from the tripod He made his way towards Natalie and Neilson who stood close together on the dance floor "Hey guys" he said to them.

"Oh hey" Natalie said to him "Harry Potter...very clever" she said to him.

"What do you want Harry?" Neilson asked him.

"Can I get a shot of you two for the yearbook?" he asked.

"Course" Natalie said to him.

"Come on" Neilson groaned.

"It'll take two seconds" Natalie said to him.

"Smile" Neilson looked stone faced at the camera.

"Neilson" Harry said irritated.

"Oh fine" he said smiling, the flash went off.

"Thanks" he said to them.

"I'm going to back to the stage alright?" Neilson said to her.

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute" she said as he made his way through his dancing classmates. "How are the pictures going? You take a lot?" she asked Harry.

"Plenty" he said "But every picture I take...look see giant black spot in the background?" he asked showing her the picture on the camera.

"Oh yeah, what is that?" she asked.

"I don't know, it’s weird" he said.

"Wait...what is Adam dressed as tonight?" she asked.

"Darth Vader..." Harry said as his face fell "he would" Harry said to her.

"Well other than that they look great" she said to him.

"Well thank you" he said to her.

"Can I get you a drink?"

"That'd be great thanks" he said to her Natalie went to the table, Damien lurking close behind her, she scooped some punch into a cup.

"Natalie!" Someone called to her as she set the drink down and went to them, Damien glided over to the table and dropped something into the cup. He quickly turned away as Adam approached the table, he looked at the cup and looked around, he shrugged as he took a drink.

Natalie then returned to the table "Excuse you" she said to Adam.

"Excuse me for what?" he asked.

"I poured that for Harry" she said to him.

"Ah man...if only there was a giant bowl filled with this stuff...oh wait" he said to her.

"You're an ass" she said to him filling another cup.

"Yes I am" he said as she walked away.

"Here you are Mr. Potter" she said handing Harry the cup of punch.

"Thanks...alright I'm going to the publication room to get a better look at these" he said throwing the camera strap over his shoulder, taking his punch with him. Damien lingered behind them as Natalie retreated to the stage to join Neilson and Bradley.

Harry left the gym, walking down the hallway and opening the door that led to the stairwell, Damien followed closely behind him. He pulled the veil away from his face and looked through the door's window watching run up the stairs.- Dead Man's Party: Revenge of The Winchesters

[pureimaginefic]

Bradley pulled up to Gavin’s house where a sea of cars cluttered the streets, he shut his car door and made his way through the groups of his classmates scattered about the front lawn.

“Littrell!” Gavin said noticing him “Dude, you made it” he said approaching Bradley.

“Gavin” Bradley said to him.

“Is that your costume?” Gavin asked “What are you even supposed to be?” he asked.

“I’m a kid who’s being unfairly punished by his pain in the ass father…who can accessorize” he said holding up Natalie’s purse “Excuse me” he said walking away from Gavin. He walked into Gavin’s house and squeezed past everyone, finally spotting Natalie and Neilson, still stationed near the refreshments “Hey” he said approaching them.

“Dude” Neilson said to him.

“Hey, you decided to sneak over” Natalie said.

“No I’m not here, I just came to bring you this” Bradley said handing Natalie her purse.

Natalie gasped “Thank you” she said.

“Yeah you left it at the store” Bradley said to her.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe I forgot this, I left my phone in it” she said pulling her phone out.

“Yeah speaking of which, you need to work on your material” Bradley said to Neilson.

"What are you talking about?” Neilson asked him.

“Dude come on I know you called me alright, very beneath you by the way” Bradley said to him.

“I didn’t call you” Neilson said to him.

“Yes you did, you called the store and did the whole scary breathing thing, I thought you were better than that” Bradley said.

“That wasn’t me” Neilson said to him “My phone died like hours ago” he said to Bradley “Heavy breathing really? So amateur” he said.

“Yeah see that’s what I thought” Bradley said.

“I’m actually insulted right now that you could think that I would actually do something as cheap as that” Neilson said.

“Ha! Told you he couldn’t stay away, you owe me five bucks” Kyle said to Adam as they approached Bradley, Harry following closely behind them.

“I’m not officially here, I just came to drop off a purse so there’s no need to rat me out…narc” Bradley said to Harry who threw his arms up in frustration.

Suddenly the music cut off and the lights came on “Alright this party’s over, everyone out now!” a cop said as he and another officer came into the house.

“Anyone in this room under sixteen is in danger of violating city wide curfew”

“Alright everyone move It on out! Get home!” they said.

~*~

“Wait so someone actually called you and didn’t say anything?” Natalie asked as they got back to the store.

“Yep, just heavy breathing” Bradley said to her.

“God that’s lame” Natalie said to him.

“Yeah he thought it was me” Neilson said to her.

“Oh no, no you have way more creativity and imagination than that” she said to him.

“Thank you!” he said.

“Alright well if it wasn’t you then it was one of you” Bradley said as Adam, Kyle, and Harry came into the store.

“What?” Kyle asked.

“What’d we do?” Adam asked.

“One of you called me tonight and did nothing but breathe over the line” Bradley said.

“Hod that is so lame” Adam said.

“So stupid” Kyle said, they all turned to look at Harry.

“What? It wasn’t me!” Harry said irritated.

“Well if it wasn’t any of you guys, then who was it?” Bradley asked when the store lights suddenly went out.

“What the hell” Kyle said.

“What just happened?” Natalie asked.

“Just relax, this is not Halloween related” Bradley said pulling a flashlight out from behind the counter.

“Yeah Mooney likes to gamble away the money he’s supposed to be paying the bills with” Adam said pulling out a big box from behind the counter and pulling out several camping lanterns and flashlights.

“I’ll go look at the fuse box” Bradley said.

“I’ll help you” Neilson said following Bradley.

“Alright, Kyle start lighting these up” Adam said handing Kyle a pack of matches “And speaking of lighting things up” Adam said pulling a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and putting one in his mouth.

“How is that gonna help?” Harry asked him.

“Hey, you should be proud of me, this is my first since after school” Adam said fishing around for his lighter, suddenly a large crash came from the upper level of the store “The hell” Adam said to himself.

“Guys…there’s someone else here” Natalie said to them.

“Oh calm down, something probably just fell over” Adam said to her.

“No shh! Listen!” Natalie said as they all became quiet, they heard heavy footsteps from above, they became louder as they approached the spiral staircase.

~*~

“Still can’t believe you thought it was me” Neilson said as he held a flashlight for Bradley, Bradley rolled his eyes, inspecting the fuse box in the alley.

“I’m sorry Neilson, I promise to never doubt your pranking skills again” Bradley said to him.

“You better” Neilson said shining the light in Bradley’s face.

“Dude” Bradley said shoving the light closer to the fuse box, they heard a noise from the dumpsters “What was that?” Bradley asked.

“I don’t know” Neilson said.

“No something’s out here, I heard it earlier” Bradley said looking around the alley.

“You’re freaking yourself out, just relax” Neilson said to him.

“No, really I heard something…someone, out here earlier” the noise became louder.

“Okay I definitely heard that one” Neilson said shining his flashlight on the dumpsters.

They crept closer to the rumbling behind the dumpster, a cat jumped out at them, meowing loudly, they grabbed onto each other and began laughing at themselves.

“It was…”

“Yeah…a cat” they said.

Bradley grabbed the flashlight, shining it on the fuse box “Ah, got it” he said flipping the switches, the lights inside flicking back on.

“Oh my god” Natalie said as a pair of heavy black boots began to descend the staircase.

“Run” Kyle said “Now, let’s go!” he said ushering them all out of the store.

“Drive” Kyle said tossing Bradley his keys.

“What?” he asked.

“There’s someone in there, let’s go! Now!” Kyle yelled, he and Neilson looked at each other, they all squeezed into Bradley’s car, his tires squealing as he sped away.

“Who was it?” Bradley asked as he drove away from the store.

“we don’t know, all we saw were feet” Kyle said.

“Feet?” Bradley asked looking in the rearview mirror.

“Yeah they were wearing black boots” Adam said to him.

“Alright we’re going to the Cambridge” Bradley said.

“The hotel? What’s there?” Natalie asked.

“Some hospital charity thing, our parents are there” a pair of headlights glared in Bradley’s rearview mirror, a car coming up fast behind him “What the hell” Bradley said.

“That guy’s got his high beams on what the hell” Neilson said looking behind him, the car then bumped them slightly, lurching them forward.

“What the hell is this guy doing?!” Adam asked as they were bumped again more forcefully.

“Son of a bitch…this bastard is screwing up my car!” Bradley whined, the car then sped past them, a black figure in the front waving menacingly at them as it passed by.

They pulled up the hotel’s entrance and flung the doors open, making their way through the lobby they entered the ballroom.

“Mom” Bradley said “Dad” he said approaching Brian and Vicki.

“Bradley, honey” Vicki said to him.

“What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be at home” Brian said.

“Not now alright we have a problem!” Bradley said to them.

“What do you mean? What’s wrong?” Vicki asked.

“Someone is after us!” Bradley said.

“Bradley…” Brian groaned.

“I’m not lying! Alright I was at the store earlier right? And someone kept calling and calling and didn’t say a word there was just breathing and then someone was upstairs and just now getting here someone was trying to run me off the road, we need to call the cops!” Bradley rambled.

“No we don’t” Brian said.

“Yes we do! Didn’t you hear me?!” Bradley said.

“Bradley…Happy Halloween” Brian said smiling at him.

“What?” Bradley asked.

“Don’t you know you’re supposed to signal if someone has their high beams on?” AJ asked entering the ballroom, pulling a hood down from his head “Surprise!” he said laughing.

“…What the hell?!” Adam asked.

“It was you guys?!” Kyle asked.

“Well…we had some help” Nick said looking to Natalie who was nervously looking away from them and chewing on her fingernails.

Neilson gasped “You were in on this?!” he asked.

“I’m sorry!” she said “But when they told me what they had planned…it sounded really funny” she said.

"Well I cannot believe this!” Bradley said to her.

“There are no words for the betrayal I am feeling right now” Neilson said.

"Oh come on if you guys had done that to us you’d be laughing your asses off!” Nick said to them.

“That’s different! We’re teenagers! We’re supposed to do stupid shit like this!” Bradley said to him.

“But you…ugh! You’re the parents!” Neilson said in disgust.

“Yeah what kind of parents are you?!” Bradley asked.

“You should be ashamed of yourselves” Adam said.

“My father will hear about this!” Kyle said as they turned to storm out of the ballroom.

“Oh guys…come on!” AJ called after them.

"Oh and by the way, you’ll be receiving a bill for the damage you did to my bumper!” Bradley said to AJ “Now THAT is funny!” he said.

“Neilson…” Natalie said to him.

“Oh..I don’t even know what to think of you right now” Neilson said to her “Throwing in with my dad…and them? Ugh!” Neilson said in disgust as he walked away.

“Neilson…Neilson come on!” she said following after him.

“Kids these days” AJ said shaking his head.

“No sense of humor” Brian said.

“…Kyle’s not really going to tell Kev about this right?” Nick asked nervously.- "Tales from The Jr. BSB Crypt; ch.2 Fright Night"

Awhile later the doors opened and the boys came in with bags filled with candy, the guys trailed slowly behind them.

“Have fun?” Vicki asked Brian.

“You set me up” Brian said trying to gain his breath, he then collapsed in a chair in exhaustion.

“Let me get this straight, you can sing and dance on stage for hours, but this is too much for you?” Vicki asked.

"I get an intermission for that" Brian said to her.

“Hey, guys, remember no one eats anything before we get a look at it” Sasha said as they all sat in a circle in the living room sorting through their candy.

“Here, this one’s off limits, it’s Harry’s” Kevin said handing Sasha a bag.

“Wow…Harry made out like a bandit for someone who didn’t even go” Sasha said.

“Signing a few things didn’t hurt” Nick said.

“Really? They knew who you were?” Sasha asked as she looked through the bag, they all looked at each other in disbelief.

“Yeah surprisingly they did” Brian said.

“I’m getting some of that candy” AJ said.

“Yeah you think that” Vicki said as they went into the kitchen.

“You get anything good?” Bradley asked Neilson.

“Not really” Neilson said to him.

“Me either” Adam said.

"Me either" Kyle said.

“What did Harry get?” Neilson asked as they stood up to look inside the bag of candy for Harry.

“No fair, Harry got all the good stuff” Bradley said.

“Who said we have to give it to him?” Adam asked, they all looked at each other.

“Hey guys, that candy’s for Harry remember?” Kevin asked coming back into the living room.

“We know, we’re going to take it to him” Kyle said picking up the bag, they all followed him upstairs.

They dragged the bag up into the hallway and spilled it out, dividing up it’s contents and putting the leftovers plus some of their own candy back into the bag.

“Harry, look what we got for you!” Kyle said as they took the bag into his room.

“Wow” Harry said happily “Thanks guys!”

“This is so sweet” Christina said “Thank you guys for doing this” she said.

“You’re welcome” they all replied.

“Okay, thanks guys but Harry’s got to get some sleep” Christina said.

“Okay, night Harry” “Night Harry” they all said as they left the room.

They began laughing to themselves as they got into the hallway "What a sucker" Adam snickered.- Tales From The Jr. BSB Crypt; ch.1

[pureimaginefic]

“Trick or treat!” a group of children cried as Lizzie opened her front door.

“Well look at you” she said as she reached into the bowl of candy, she threw a few pieces into their trick or treat bags.

The door opened, Kellie came in, Kevin stepped in behind her with the carrier in his hand.

"Oh look who's here" Lizzie said to them cheerfully.

"Hi Mrs. McAdams" Kellie said pulling her coat off.

"Hello, let me take your coats" she said to them "And who do we have here?" she asked bending down to the floor to peek into the carrier.

"That's Kyle" Kellie said to her.

"Oh he is so precious" Lizzie said "May I?" she asked.

"Oh sure" Kellie said unbuckling him and pulling him out of the carrier.

"Oh look at you" Lizzie said holding him "Aren't you an adorable little scarecrow?" Lizzie said rocking him.

“Everyone! May I please have your attention” Nick said, with Sasha by his side “I have a very special announcement to make, Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a boy” he said happily as he and Sasha kissed, everyone applauded them.

“Wow” Melissa said taking a sip of her drink.

“Congratulations” Vicki said hugging Sasha.

"Thanks" Sasha said hugging her back.

"Okay, Vicki, that leaves you, you have the girl" Melissa said to her.

"We don't know that yet" she said.

"Congratulations dude" Brian said hugging Nick.

"Thanks” Nick said to him as they hugged.

"To your son" Brian said tapping his cup up against Nick's.

"To my son!" Nick said as they took a drink.

"Hey guys" Kellie said holding Kyle in her arms.

"My goodness" Vicki gasped upon seeing him.

"Look at him" Christina cooed.

"So adorable" Sasha said.

"Love the family costume thing" Vicki said to her.

"Wizard of Oz, very creative" Sasha said to her.

"It's my favorite movie" Kellie said to them as she looked down at Kyle.

"Okay, I can't take it anymore, can I please hold him?" Vicki asked holding her hands out.

Kellie laughed "Of course" Kellie said handing him over to her.

"He is so tiny" Vicki said cradling him in her arms.

"Heard you had a rough labor" Christina said to her as she held Kyle's tiny hand.

"Almost twelve hours" Kellie said to them "I was begging for an epidural" she said to them.

"So, Chris, when does Kyle get to meet little Harrison?" Vicki asked.

"Harry" Christina said to her "Next month, they think I should deliver around Thanksgiving, or I could go until the first week of December" Christina said to them.

"I hear Kyle gets to share a birthday with his daddy" Vicki said to Kellie.

"Almost, he missed that by six hours" Kellie said to her "So, Sash, boy number 4 congratulations" Kellie said to her.

"Thank you" Sasha said to her.

"That leaves you Vicki, think you might have the girl?" Kellie asked her.

"We'll have to wait and see, I have an appointment next week, maybe we'll find out then" she said looking down at Kyle.

"Looks like our 5 boy theory is coming true" Sasha said to Melissa.

"God does have a sick sense of humor" Melissa said to her.

"Okay my turn" Christina said as Vicki passed Kyle over to her.

"So, Sash, what is it? Daniel, Ian or Wesley?" Vicki asked her.

"Wesley?!" they asked her in surprise.

"You mean like on Star Trek?" Christina asked.

"I think we're going to go with Ian" Sasha said to them.

"Oh good, you're breaking the cycle, my boyfriend is going to be so happy" Melissa said to her "He thought you were going to name him Nathan or something" Melissa said to her.

"Nathan...there's an idea" Sasha said to her.

"I had to bring it up" Melissa said.- Pomp & Circumstance; ch. 25 "This is Halloween"

Music pounded off the gym walls as kids gathered around, a disco ball twirling around in the air.

"Here's your punch Lisa" Erica said handing her a cup.

"Finally" Lisa said angrily taking it from her.

"Didn't I tell you to keep your eyes out for Brian?" she asked Megan.

"Sorry" Megan said hanging her head in shame.

"Oh my god there he is" Lisa said "And look who he brought" she said as she saw Vicki.

Her eyes then locked on their hands which were held tightly together, she scowled and went over to him.

"Hey" she said grabbing onto Brian's arm as he walked in.

"Oh hey" he said to her.

"Great costume...what are you supposed to be?" she asked.

"Oh uh Romeo" he said, she looked at him confused "Romeo and Juliet?" he asked as she continued to look confused "Shakespeare?" he asked again.

"Oh...well it suits you" she said.

"Thanks, you look great too as Madonna...again" he said.

"Thanks, want to dance?" she asked.

"Maybe some other time I'm actually here with someone, see you later" he said taking two cups and walking away from her, she watched as he went over to Vicki.

She groaned and fished a shiny silver flask from her clutch purse and poured it into the cup of punch, Megan and Erica rolled their eyes at her and slowly moved away from her.

"Lisa, drowning your sorrows I see" Emily said filling a cup with punch.

"So Brian and your new little friend have certainly become chummy" she said in disdain.

"Chummy?" Emily asked "Lisa don't you think its time you gave up that delusional fantasy of yours? Let it go" she said walking away.

Lisa squealed again in anger.

"Lisa, what are you doing?" Erica asked as she filled cup with punch to the brim.

"Come on girls" she said as they walked across the gym.

"Lisa..." Erica said.

"What's going on? What is she doing?" Megan asked.

"She has officially lost it" Erica said as they reluctantly followed behind her.

She crossed the gym, careful not to spill any of the punch from the cup once she got close enough she attempted to throw it all over Vicki's perfectly white gown. Instead she got doused in sticky red liquid, she squealed.

"Oh I am so sorry" Jason said to her "Here let me..." he said trying to dab her down with napkins.

"Don't touch me!" she growled before storming out of the gym.

"Oh my god" Emily said.

"What just happened here?" Vicki asked.

"Karma really must be a bitch" Emily said laughing.

When I'm With You by Sherriff began to fill the gym as the lights went down and the disco ball reflected off of the floor.

"Care to dance?" Brian asked holding his hand out.

"Sure" she said taking it, he lead her to the dance floor.

"Have I mentioned you look really pretty tonight?" he asked as they danced.

"Yeah, couple of times actually" she said as she rested her head on his shoulder. He looked over at Emily and Jason who ushered him to kiss her, he waved them off and they kept dancing.

The dance soon ended and they wound up back in Vicki's living room.

~*~
