A/N: I missed most of yesterday's episode but I remembered the part where Suzie went up to Jennifer at her locker and fingered her hair. Well, I decided to take that a tad bit further which makes this an AU. Woot for alternate universes.

Disclaimer: I don't own them. I only dream things like this up every now and then.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something's wrong with Jennifer. She's speeding around everywhere, she won't stop to talk, she's stopped changing her clothes, and she missed volleyball yesterday! What the heck is wrong with her? I will find out, I just have to catch her first.

I only catch glimpses of her all day. She looks stressed, her hair is lank and dirty, she's in the same clothes as yesterday, and she's running around with…is that a stop watch? What the heck is she doing with a stop watch? And why is she carrying all of her books? Those are supposed to be in her locker.

That wasn't the worst either. She blew off Ned in the halls; she's never ever done that before. He's one of her best friends and she's always made time for him before. It must be worse than I thought. It is worse, even Mr. Chopsaw got the cold shoulder. That's it. Time for an intervention!

I chase her through the halls and miraculously corner her at her locker. I'm totally in her personal space and asking her what the heck is going on. What she tells me is utterly ridiculous. "I don't have time to chat Suzie I've got to go study. I don't want another F." Oh gracious, this is about one grade…just one failing grade. I roll my eyes. I'd kill to have had only one failing grade, but I've failed tests before, it's no big deal.

She tries to speed off but I catch her before she can and pin her against the lockers, making sure to keep an arm on either side of her and press her back. She has little room to move and is struggling to get away. "Suzie! Let me go! I have to study I have to keep my grades up I don't have time for this!" And she keeps trying to push me away, but I don't let go.

I try to talk to her but my words get lost in her frantic speech. I keep trying to reason with her, still keeping her pinned, but it just goes in one ear and out the other. I need to think of a way to get her attention. I know that something has to be able to break through but what? I try to shock her by telling her I'm dating Ned (which is so not true) but that doesn't get her attention, I try various other tricks but none work. I'll have to go to my last resort.

She's still struggling and her speech has gotten faster and more incoherent, she trying to push me back but my arms keep her trapped against the lockers. I kind of like this position, it would be better if she were more compliant…okay don't need those thoughts right now. Back to the last resort. Nothing else had gotten through to her; none of my words had calmed her down or shocked her enough to listen, so it's time to go physical.

I do the only thing I can think of that would shock her enough to freeze and listen. I lick her neck. It was the only part of her I could reach so it was licked. And it worked just as I thought it would. She completely froze, stunned, she looks at me with her eyes round as saucers and her mouth hanging open in shock.

I smile sweetly at her and ask "Are you going to listen to me now?" She nods dumbly still staring at me unblinking with her jaw unhinged. "Jennifer, one F isn't the end of the world okay? It's a fluke. You're normally a perfect student, but something came up that kept you from studying for this one test. It's not the end of the world. You can't just study all the time and stop doing everything else. Your friends need you; you can't give up on all the fun things just because you got one bad grade. Now will you relax and come back to us? We miss the normal Jennifer."

She looks at me dumbly for a moment more before my words actually sink in and comprehension dawns on her. "I've been stupid haven't I?" I just nod with a grin on my face. "Oh man, I totally took this studying thing overboard. I can't believe I went crazy like that." Finally, I think I have the regular Jennifer back.

"So you're back to normal now?" A cautious question, but valid. She nods in the affirmative and I let out a sigh of relief "Thank goodness, you were starting to drive everyone crazy."

"Sorry….so…are you going to let me go now or do you plan on licking my neck some more? Cause, you know, if that's what you're going to do I'd rather it was done in private…fewer prying eyes, you understand." A joke. Great. And at my expense. Just fabulous. I feel myself blush as I realize that I do, in fact, still have her pinned and we're really very tightly pressed together. I still like feeling this, it's nice, and we fit perfectly.

I smile up at her and say "Well then, it looks like we're going to need a room. But you need a shower first." She's flabbergasted. I love it. I can't help but giggle as I release her. Looks like I've won this round, at least it did until she swatted my butt and ran off to the locker room shouting over her shoulder "Pay back!" and the stop watch clatters to the ground.

I chase after her, revenge on my mind. I'm glad to have my Jennifer back. The rest of the day is looking like fun.

A/N: Yeehaw! I'm in a pretty good mood today. This story isn't how I originally pictured it but it's still happy. I'm freaking out about starting school next week, I don't have any of my books and up until an hour ago I didn't have any of my room numbers either. But things are looking up. A ditty like this one always seems to cheer me up. Hope you liked it. Leave a thought. Thanks for reading.
