A/N: LOT'S OF CHANGES! Jax and Wendy never had Able, and Jax and Tara never hooked back up. Cherry never had to leave either. Basically it's a story with all the characters I like from Season one, in a completely different story. Please review!

Gemma walked out of the store, and started to walk across the small park to her car, when she heard yelling in the corner. Three punk high school skateboarders were harassing an old homeless woman; the one Gemma gave a dollar or two every time she saw her. She liked that old crazy woman, and she didn't like punk ass kids. She began to storm over to the scene, when another girl jumped out of the car she just parked and beat her to the punch. She stood 5'5'' with auburn hair that fell just past her shoulders, and a tanned, toned body. Her green eyes flashed with anger as she started screaming at the three teenage boys, all taller than her. When one smarted off at her, she close fisted hit him straight across the face. Another tried to hit her back, and she flipped one of the skateboards up and slapped him across the face with it, knocking him out cold. The two conscious ones ran off, and the girl pulled the wallet out of the one on the ground's pocket, pulling out the cash and handing it to the old woman. She dropped the wallet on the ground and started to walk off, lighting a cigarette.

"Hey!" Gemma called out to her. The girl stopped, swearing to herself, and turned around.

"Yes?" She asked Gemma.

"That was pretty good, but I probably would have kicked one of the little shitheads in balls." Gemma said, putting out her hand. "Gemma Morrow."

The girl shook Gemma's hand responding, "Grace Varaty."

The two walked to the parking lot together, when Grace stopped. "Shit!" She said, running to her car that now had a skateboard through the windshield.

"Follow me, we'll get it fixed up. " Gemma told her.

TELLER-MORROW BODY SHOP

Gemma walked into the body shop's office and spoke to Clay and Jax. "I've got a windshield that needs replaced, on the house."

"Gemma, you gotta stop busting up people's cars…" Clay began.

"I didn't do it asshole." She said, then briefly explaining what happened.

"So why are we fixing it?" Jax asked her.

"I like her." Gemma replied, walking out.

"Mom doesn't like anyone with tits." Jax said to Clay. "I gotta see this one."

Jax walked out with the SOA's prospective 'Half-Sack' to assess the damage on the car, when the girl turned around Half-Sack took a step back.

"HOLY SHIT! Varaty! What are you doing in Cali? Shouldn't you be in the desert?" Half-Sack exclaimed.

"I could ask you the same thing Epps. Didn't figure you for a grease monkey." Grace answered. "I uh, used my skills for a non military sanctioned mission."

"Cut the shit."

"I blew up someone's car." She admitted. Half-Sack scoffed and Jax's eyes widened. "Asshole shouldn't have beat on his wife so much. They couldn't prove it was me for sure, so they ruled it faulty wiring and just suggested I didn't re-enlist."

"Someone gonna tell me what's going on?" Jax asked.

"Grace was in the Marines with me. She did the secret squirrel shit, mostly making a bomb out of anything. She was our 'MacGuiver."

"You?" Jax asked, looking at the petite girl in front of him. "huh."

Grace ignored Jax, and turned back towards Half-Sack. "So what are you doing here?" Half-Sack asked her.

"My Aunt died, and crazy bat left me everything. Apparently she was loaded…" Grace explained.

"So are you gonna stay in Charming?" Half-Sack asked.

"I'm not sure yet. I guess here's as good a place as any." Grace said shrugging.

"Well let me call my old lady. She'll show you around while we fix your car." Half-Sack said.

DOWNTOWN CHARMING

"So that's about it." Cherry said, concluding her tour of Charming.

"It's definitely… Charming." Grace said grimacing at her pun. "That was terrible."

Cherry smiled at her, "so what are you gonna do here?"

"I don't know for sure yet, but I've noticed that there's no dance studio here, maybe I'll open one. I have the resources now." Grace answered looking at the shops downtown.

"That would be cool, I'm sure there's a ton of parents who would sign their kids up… So I saw Jax staring at you with his tongue out earlier.." Cherry said with a smile.

"Who? The blonde guy? Oh. Cool." Grace said absent mindly, her mind on her developing business plan.

"You know Sam Crow is good to have as friends, even better to have as family. They run this town." Cherry confided.

"Run this town?" Grace said raising her eyebrows. "Who are they, the mob?"

"Something like that." Cherry said with a grin like the cat that ate the canary. "I think they are having a little party after their meeting tomorrow night. You should come with Kip and I. It'll be fun."

"I thought Kip wasn't a full member?" Grace asked.

"He's not, yet. But they treat him good. It should be anytime now he'll get his top rocker."

Grace stared at her with a blank face. "I don't know what that means."

Cherry laughed, "It means a full member, the rest of the Sons of Anarchy patch for his vest. "

The two girls pulled up to Teller-Morrow Body Shop, where the SoA was sitting around, drinking beers and smoking cigarettes. The girls got out of Cherry's car and lit up their own cigarettes, walking over to the guys.

"Grace, this is Clay, Tig, Bobby, Chibs, Juice, Opie, Piney, and you already met Jax." Cherry said, motioning to each man in turn. "I invited her to our little gathering tomorrow night."

"And what did she say?" Clay asked.

"She… actually, she didn't say anything." Cherry said looking at Grace.

"Uh… I guess." Grace said as the group of intimidating men stared at her.

"Cool, you can meet Tara, Donna, and Wendy tomorrow." Jax said as Cherry groaned.

"When are you gonna kick that junkie to the curb?" Opie asked his friend.

"She's just a friend, I'm not gonna hook back up with her." Jax answered. "Come on Grace, let's go get your car."

"Think Jax is gonna tap that?" Bobby asked with a laugh.

"He better get in line!" Tig responded.
