Ok, so, I've been reading a lot of Rick fan fics lately, and this one just sort of popped into my head.

It takes place during Time Stands Still part 2. The paint and feathers thing has just happened, along with being rejected by Emma.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DEGRASSI OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS.

Chapter One

Emma Nelson, you're a tease

"Why do they do this to me? Why must I be tortured by so many people, in so many ways? Well this is the last straw, I can not take this anymore, I will not let them get away with this, not this time, not any of them…"

Rick's hands begin to shake just slightly as he opened the pad-locked briefcase. A tiny smile came across his lips as his eyes lay on the smooth silver of his father's gun. Taking the weapon, and carefully placing it in his backpack, Rick walked out the front door of his house in the direction of Degrassi, still yellow from the paint.

"Rick! Hey Rick, wait up!" Toby ran up to his mortified friend, wanting to console him. "Radditch has gone supernova. He'll find the guys who did this to you."

"And what, give them detention?" Rick's anger was starting to reveal itself.

"You know, I'm sure Radditch would be cool if you skipped the rest of the day."

"No Toby, today is a day I actually want to be at school." Rick pushed through a very confused Toby and into Degrassi.

Rick walked through the empty halls of Degrassi, possessively clutching his backpack, which held "the answer to all his problems." He rounded a corner and saw Emma, who still had yellow paint on her half-jacket, enter the girls washroom.

"This is my chance, Emma will pay for being such a tease, she must learn not to toy with boys' hearts." Rick muttered to himself as he took a deep breath and followed Emma inside.

Emma didn't even notice someone coming inside; she was too preoccupied with attempting to wash out the pale yellow paint stains off her favorite outfit. No luck, she sighed, and was startled when she heard a voice.

"Having a little trouble there, Emma?"

"Rick, what are you doing in here?" Emma showed a little bit of worry in her eyes, unsure of what he could accomplish.

"You played me Emma, I thought you loved me, but you are nothing but a tease."

"Whatever Rick, I don't need this." Emma rolled her eyes, and went to get passed him.

"Stop right there!" Rick pulled out the shiny weapon, and Emma stopped cold with fear.

"Is that a…a…"

"A, a, A GUN? Yeah Emma, it is."

"Wha-" Emma was cut off by Rick.

"Emma, just shut up you dirty little tease and listen!" Rick was starting to fume, while Emma began to tear up. "Emma, you made a fool out of me. You led me on, made me believe you cared. You didn't, it was just fun to you. Well is it fun now?!"

Rick lifts the gun and points it at Emma, she shakes her head while backing up into a wall. "Well you know what Emma, you lead me on, so now you will get what you deserve, and so will I."

Rick pins Emma against the wall, with the gun at her head, and whispers into her ear, "If you scream, I won't hesitate to pull the trigger." Emma stiffened as more tears flowed down her cheeks, this moment reminded her of that night at the hotel with Jordan. She knew what was coming next, and it terrified her.
