A/N: Yay! The sequel is here! I really thing I'm going to keep writing these stories... it's a lot of fun, plus this section of FF could use a little more lighthearted humor. It's all either drama or cheesy romance (although this one does have a bit of romance, but it's not so cheesy). So yeah, I hope you returning readers enjoy! :)

For those who haven't read the series before, I'd recommend reading just the first chapter to my first story (the other chapters aren't important). You probably wouldn't even have to read that to understand what's going on. But you still should.

Okay, I should stop rambling now. I tend to do that. Enjoy the story! And remember, anonymous reviews are allow :)

An attractive young male grabbed onto Lily in a comforting, long hug, smiling at her with perfect, white teeth. His light blue eyes gazed into Lily's, and his dark brown hair fluttered in the wind. Lily felt her heart melt a little bit.

"Lily..."

Lily giggled slightly, embracing him even more.

Suddenly, his eyes bulged from his head and the feeling of calm soon turned to panic. "Lily! Lily! Lily!"

"What? What is it? I'm right here!"

"LILY!"

Lily felt her body being oddly shaken. Back and forth, back and forth, seemingly from the air.

"W-what? What's happening?" Lily asked.

Lily shot her eyes open and noticed Jude above her head, shaking her wildly. "Lily! Wake up!"

Lily groaned and pushed Jude aside. The grassy field she had been in morphed to her dark, messy bedroom. Reality sucked sometimes.

Lily glanced at her alarm clock. "Jude!" She fumed. "Wht h hll er you doin hre?"

Jude shot her a confused look. "Uh, what?"

Lily pulled out her retainer. "I said, what are you doing here? It's four in the morning!"

"I told you I was staying the week! My aunt's in town again!"

"Yes but did you have to come at four A.M? I was having a good dream, too," Lily sulked as she grabbed her retainer case from her nightstand.

Jude sat himself down on her bed as Lily propped herself up. "Sorry, brah. The lady came early this time! I got kicked out of my room."

Lily began rubbing the crust out of her eyes. "Okay, fair enough. But did you really have to come into my room and wake me up? We got the Wii set up downstairs. You could've played for a few hours."

"I tried, but your dad came raging out of his room with a bat. So I came to hide in here while he went to go pee. That man is scary!"

Lily giggled. "He gets grumpy in the morning. He's probably so tired that he didn't recognize you!"

"I don't know, brah. Maybe he just doesn't like me...I always got that vibe from him..."

Lily rolled her eyes and smiled. "I'm sure he likes you just fine...maybe he just thinks you're a pothead, you know?"

Jude stood up defensively. "Hey now! I tried it once okay? And it was in the sixth grade! I didn't know what I was doing!"

Lily grabbed Jude's wrist and forced him back down. "Relax, I was kidding! But now that you mention it..."

Jude's face turned bright red. "Uh, don't mention that to anybody, okay?"

"Your secret is safe with me. Now let's go downstairs, I'm starving!"

Jude clung onto Lily. "No! We can't go down there! It's unsafe!"

Lily rolled her eyes. "Jude..."

"I am not in the mood to be beaten by a bat! Totally harshes my mellow, dude!"

Lily grabbed onto Jude's wrist and forced him up. "Fine, you wimp. Just stay behind me and you'll be fine, okay?"

Jude grabbed Lily's waist in fear as they both approached the door and made their way down the stairs. Mr. McIntyre jumped out with a bat, causing Jude to scream.

"Lily! There's a creep in the house! Watch yourself! Call the police! Hurry!" Mr. McIntyre shouted.

Lily put her hands up. "Dad, relax! It's just Jude. Remember him?"

Mr. McIntyre slowly lowered his hands as realization flooded his face. "Oh, er, right. Sorry."

"He's staying for the week while his aunt is in town, remember?" Lily replied. Jude slowly crept out from his hiding place.

"Sorry to wake you up dude. I mean, uh, sir." Jude chimed in, awkwardly. With a build and voice oddly resembling Coach Halder's, Jude did not want to get on his bad side.

Mr. McIntyre waved his hand through the air. "Don't worry about it. I wouldn't go and beat my daughter's own boyfriend! That is, unless you do something to upset her..."

Lily bit on her thumbnail. "Uh, Dad? We're not dating...we're just friends..."

Awkward silence.

Mr. McIntyre blushed. "Oh. Well. I'm, uh, going to go back to bed. You guys enjoy yourselves...er. I mean. Not in a dirty way... please don't... I'm uh... going to shut up now..." Mr. McIntyre stepped back into his room and shut the door.

Jude shot Lily a quizzical look. "Is he always that...awkward? Duuuuude..."

Lily shrugged her shoulders. "Nah. I think he's just really tired. Odds are when he wakes up he won't even remember what happened. So, since there's no chance of getting back to sleep...why don't you start up the Wii while I make some pancakes. We can play Mario Kart until it's time to go to work."

"Sounds good to me!"

-

Mr. McIntyre stepped out from his bedroom, fully dressed and smiling. "Good morning, Lily and Jude."

The two paused their game and looked up.

"Morning Mr. McIntyre..." Jude mumbled.

Lily giggled. "You're awful chipper for somebody who's up at seven in the morning. Why are you up so early, anyways?"

Mr. McIntyre grinned. "Today's my first day of work!"

Lily scrunched her nose up. "On a Saturday?"

"Yeah... my work schedule is going to be a little different than it was back in the U.S...but oh well! Nothing can ruin my mood right now!"

Lily shot him a knowing look. "Okay, nobody gets excited about going to work. What's really exciting you?"

"Okay, well...your father has a date tonight!"

Lily stood up and high-fived her dad. "All right!"

Jude smiled. "Duuuuude! Nice! And you've only been living here for about three weeks!"

"I met her at the grocery store the other day. I asked her where the butter was and after that we kept talking and we just...clicked, you know?"

Lily and Jude nodded, not quite understanding.

"She has a daughter and two sons, named Chrissy, Jason, and Brandon. They'll be over here to hang out while we go on our date, if you guys don't mind."

Jude shrugged. Lily smiled.

"Oh cool! How old are they?"

"Actually, Chrissy is about your age. Isn't that funny? You might even know her! Jason is sixteen and Brandon is ten."

A sudden thought hit Lily. Could it be...No. There was no way.

"Does she have short blonde hair, big eyes, like two inches around the waist?"

Lily asked.

Mr. McIntyre pulled out his wallet and began thumbing around, until he found a small picture. "Here, this is her most recent school picture!"

Jude scrunched up his nose. "Uh, no offense dude, but having a picture of her in there is kinda creepy..."

Lily studied the picture. Sure enough, that familiar blonde crop and those buggy eyes were staring right back at her.

"You mean...you're going on a date with....my boss' mom?!?!"

Mr. McIntyre chuckled. "She's your boss? Isn't that a coincidence! Well, I guess that means..."

Mr. McIntyre was cut off by a loud scream from Lily. His face shriveled up in horror, while Jude gripped his ears for protection.

"Duuuuude, please, for the sake of my hearing, just calm down!"

"Coach Masterson! Coach Masterson!"

Jen groaned as Jeff, one of her employees, began shouting her name. It was Saturday afternoon and she was beyond swamped.

"What is it, Jeff?"

Jeff pranced over and handed Jen a list. "Here's the updated list for the Kiddie Jamboree later tonight."

Jen sighed. She had somehow gotten forced into running yet another event. With her experience planning all of the major school dances and pep rallies, the mall staff found her a perfect fit for running that night's babysitting event.

Jen read through the list. "Whoa, we have over two hundred kids attending this thing?!"

Jeff shrugged. "You've got plenty of chaperones, don't you?"

"Not enough!" Jen glared at Jeff. "I hope you don't have plans tonight. You're going to help me with this!"

"But...I've got a date with my girlfriend!"

Jen shot him a nasty look, remembering all of the scare tactics Coach Halder had taught her before leaving her with the position. "Do you want to lose your job?!"

"N...no..." Jeff cowered.

"It's settled. Six P.M tonight, you show up late and you're fired, got it!"

Jeff put his hand on his forehead. "Yes ma'am!" He quickly jogged away, getting back to work.

Jen grumbled and hit her head on the counter. She wasn't usually so mean to her employees, but stress really got to her sometimes.

She began thumbing through her plans. The mall had given her the gym room to decorate to her liking and hold all the kids in. She'd let them play around for a couple of hours before taking them on a walk and showing them a movie, which would hopefully send most of them to sleep. She only had a few hours to turn a sweaty gym room into a "beach party", even though it was late October.

Jen looked at the list of attending children. The rules stated that there had to be a minimum of one chaperone per ten kids. There were two hundred and thirty kids and only nineteen chaperones.

"Paul...Tiffany...Jamie!"

The three employees dashed to the cash register, where Jen was. Honestly, Jen did not want them to be in charge of little kids. They constantly made immature sex and fart jokes and were total spazzes. But time was running out and Jen was desperate.

"You guys are going to be chaperones for the Kiddie Jamboree later tonight! Got it?"

"But Coach Masterson, I..." Tiffany started.

"I don't care what kind of plans you have! You either show up tonight at six P.M or you're fired!"

The three of them nodded silently and backed away in fear. Jen really hated to be so pushy, but desperate times called for desperate measures.

So...that's twenty two...I need one more. Ugh! Where am I going to find another chaperone last minute?

"And then, she totally screamed in terror! She seemed really freaked out!" Jude exclaimed, telling the others the events that had happened this morning.

Caitlin peered over the magazine she was reading. "Wait, was it like an 'aaH', like, calm at first but then raising, or was it like a big scream, like 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!'?"

The entire food court went silent as they stared at Caitlin. She blushed and muttered "Oops..."

Jude's eyes widened. "Definitely the second one, brah."

Caitlin brought her hand to her mouth. "Oh, poor Lily!"

"I think I would react the same way if I knew one of my parents was dating one of Chrissy's parents!" Nikki snorted.

Jonesy leaned back in his chair. "Hey, Jen, does this remind you of anything?"

Jen rolled her eyes. "Shut up, Jonesy!"

Jonesy began laughing. "That's exactly how Jen reacted when she realized our parents were dating. Man that look on her face... I wish I had a picture!"

"Okay, Jonesy, this is different...sort of. Lily seems really freaked out by this, according to what Jude said." Nikki chimed in, rolling her eyes.

Wyatt shrugged. "I guess the best we can do is keep her happy and talk about anything that's not related to dating or love or anything."

Caitlin nodded. "Good idea, Wyatt!"

"Speaking of Lily..." Jude mumbled.

Lily began making her way to the gang's table. They all plastered a huge, fake smile on their face and hoped for the best.

Lily sat herself down and shot everyone a quizzical look. "Uh, what's with the cheesy smiles?"

"We're trying to cheer you up, since, you know..." Caitlin responded, hoping Lily wouldn't lose it.

Lily giggled. "Oh, I guess Jude told you about the whole date thing."

Nikki snickered. "You seem to be taking it better right now than you were earlier."

Lily shrugged. "Well, yeah, I was shocked at first, but I really thought about it. I mean, it's just one date. It's not like anything major is going to come out of this, right?"

Caitlin lifted her index finger. "Hey, that's true..."

Jonesy smirked. "I wouldn't be so sure. That's exactly what Jen said on our parent's first date. And look how that turned out..."

Lily froze. "B..b...but that's different! You guys are best friends! Living together for you two would be a good thing, right?"

Jen rolled her eyes. "Not even close. He has these two nasty little brothers. They make my life miserable!"

Lily took a sip of the soda she had gotten earlier, attempting to calm her nerves. "Great. Just great. Chrissy has two little brothers, too!"

Jude's eyes widened. "Whoaaaaaaa, duude! Wouldn't that be so creepy if it happened just like Jen and Jonesy's parents? They'd date, and then get married, and then, you know, do it, and then..."

The gang cringed. Lily spit out the soda she had been drinking all over the table.

"Jude! That just gave me horrible mental images...thanks!"

Jude shrugged. "It's just a fact of life, brah. You wouldn't be here unless your parents had..."

Jude was cut off as Caitlin smacked Jude with a magazine. "Just because it happened doesn't mean we want to think about it, you know!"

Lily nodded silently, almost looking like she was going to either puke or have a nervous breakdown.

"No...this can't happen... it's not going to....NO!" Lily shouted before curling her legs up and burying her face.

"Nice going there, Jude!" Nikki snort-chuckled.

Lily looked up, tears beginning to form. "Chrissy can't end up being my sister! What if we have to share a room? What if her brothers ruin my life like they ruin Jen's? This. Can't. Happen!"

Jonesy, who was sitting next to her, scooted back a little. "Relax, Lily! As long as we're here, nothing bad is going to happen!"

"What makes you so sure?"

Jonesy grinned. "Because, well, let's just say that we can 'happen' to show up and, you know, 'happen' to ruin things, if you get my gist."

Wyatt tilted his head slightly. "Jonesy is pretty good at messing things up."

"Just tell me the restaurant and the time and I'll make sure they never want to see each other again!"

Caitlin raised her hand and waved it around. "Ooh! Can I come? I can use some of the tactics I've used in dates gone wrong to make things even worse!"

Lily smiled. "It's at Zango's at six o' clock."

Jonesy's grin widened. "You're in luck! I actually just got a job there! I'll make sure that I wait their table!"

Nikki stared at Jonesy and start chuckling. "That is, if you can keep the job until then."

"Ooh this will be so much fun! I can show up and randomly sit at their table!" Caitlin mused. "But I'll need someone else to come with me..." Caitlin eyed Wyatt. "How about you?"

Wyatt put his hands up. "Oh no, I'm not getting involved in another stupid scheme. Count me out!"

Nikki sighed. "I guess I'll do it..."

Lily stood up. "Awwww thanks guys! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go pick up a tux for my dad..." Lily walked away while Nikki and Jen shot confused looks.

"Zango's is a nice restaurant..." Jonesy muttered.

Nikki started laughing. "So how did you get a job there?"

Jonesy sat up and put his hands on his hips. "What? You don't think I have the skill to work in a restaurant like that?"

Nikki glared at Jonesy. "You couldn't even hold down a job at Speedy Steve's. And anybody can get a job there."

Jonesy folded his arms. "Oh yeah? Well maybe this time will be different!"

"I highly doubt that..."

Caitlin looked up from her notepad, that seemed to come out of nowhere. "Okay, I've formulated a plan. Come check this out guys!"

"That fast?" Jonesy asked.

Caitlin smiled. "I have skills in this department, you know." Caitlin whipped off her apron and hat and sat herself in between Nikki and Jonesy.

Jen sighed and buried her head in her arm, proceeding to let out a large groan.

Wyatt looked at her with concern. "What's the matter with you, Jen? You haven't said much..."

Jen looked up. "I've got a few problems of my own..."

"As bad as Lily's?"

Jen exhaled. "Okay, maybe not that bad. But I'm seriously stressed out!"

"What's the problem?"

"I'm in charge of running this year's Kiddie Jamboree..."

"You mean that babysitting thing they run at the mall every year? That sucks dude..."

"I know! And I'm short one chaperone and it starts in three hours... I have no idea where to look last minute..." Jen stopped as an idea came to her head. "Hey, you aren't doing anything tonight, are you?"

"I...no...why?" Wyatt asked.

Jen stood up. "Great! I found my last chaperone! Thank you Wyatt!"

"But I never said..."

"Wyatt you have to! Please! Otherwise we'll have to call the whole thing off!"

Wyatt groaned. "Oh, okay, fine! But you owe me for this..."

Jen pulled out a large bag. "Here, you start by helping me decorate the mall's gym room. I've got a few things up but I need help getting everything else ready!"

Wyatt grumbled as Jen pulled him away.

"I don't know about this, Cait... don't you think that's a little much?" Nikki asked as she read over Caitlin's notes.

"Trust me, if we want to make sure this date ends up horrible, we're going to have to do this!" Caitlin replied.

"I just hope I don't get fired for this..." Jonesy added in.

Caitlin huffed. "It's going to work guys! Everything will turn out perfect! Now, meet me at my house at five thirty, Nikki, so I can do your makeup, okay?"

Nikki sighed. "Okay. But something tells me I'm making a horrible mistake by agreeing to do this..."
