A/N: Alright this is something I wrote after an idea was implanted in my head by a friend when we got slightly drunk and had a skins marathon. It follows the skins gang in the lead up to Gina and Kieran's wedding and centres around the addition of 2 new characters as well as all the favourites from season 3! Expect the usual antics that you would expect from the skins gang and then some.

Hope you give it a chance and read it because it's like my pet project. Oh and of course let me know what you think by pressing that magic green button! =]

'It's been a long fucking day.' Naomi thought as she opened the front door. She looked around for any sign of her mother, desperately trying to avoid her for fear of being sucked into another discussion about seating charts or something equally annoying. With the wedding less than a week away her mother had gone into overdrive making sure everything was just perfect and stress levels in the house had skyrocketed. This tension was not made any easier by the fact that Emily had gone with her family to visit her grandparents for a few days, leaving Naomi to miss her and making her even more irritable. She just wanted to get up to her room and have some alone time. Her hopes were quickly dashed when she opened her bedroom door to find a strange girl sitting cross legged in the middle of her floor going through her CDs.

"Who the fuck are you?" She half sighed. She thought the days of finding strangers in her room were over. The girl was around Naomi's age, perhaps a bit older, with wavy red hair and pale skin. She looked up at Naomi with bright blue eyes and no shame in her expression.

"Charming." She said flatly. "I can see why you English are renowned for your hospitality." She said sarcastically. Her voice was husky and she had an accent like Kieran's, though not nearly as harsh.

"I'm sorry but you're in my room." Naomi replied indignantly. "Mum!" She yelled angrily.

"What?" Gina's voice sounded from down the hall. "What is it?" She asked, poking her head through the door looking rather flustered. "Hello love." She smiled at the girl.

"Hi Gina." She smiled back, pissing Noami off even more.

"Uh...there's a girl in my room!" Naomi raised her voice as though her problem should have been obvious.

"Yes she'll be staying here for a few days." Gina said brightly.

"I thought you were done with the whole communal living crap?" Naomi huffed.

"I am." Gina answered flatly. "This is Kieran's niece. From Ireland. She's here for the wedding."

"Yes but why is she in my room?" Naomi pressed.

"Because she's sleeping here."

"What? Why? Why can't she stay in the spare room?"

"Because her brother's sleeping there."

"And I'd sooner sleep outside than share a room with him." The girl interrupted.

"Honestly Naomi we told you about this weeks ago." Gina said sounding both impatient and disappointed in a way only a mother can. Naomi sighed. "It's only for a week, love, and it's important to Kieran which means it's important to me, please don't make a fuss?"

"Fine!" Naomi conceded; it wasn't like she had a choice really.

"Thank you!" Gina smiled lovingly at her and gave her a hug. "I think you'll get on quite well actually. You have a lot in common." She said as she disappeared out the door. Naomi was confused. She looked from the door to the girl and back again.

"What did she mean by that?" She demanded.

"She means I'm gay." She answered without even looking up from her bag. "I'll teach you the handshake later." She stood up and gave a forced smile. "Do you smoke?"

"Uh...yeah. Out the back. I'll show you." She said feeling a little dazed from the conversation. She led the way downstairs and out into the back garden.

"Here try one of these; they're much better than that shite you're smoking." She said pushing her Marlboro lights and a lighter across the table to her. "I'm Sadie, by the way."

Naomi looked from her to the cigarette, unsure whether she should be offended or not. Shrugging she decided to give the girl a chance.

"Naomi." She said, taking one of her cigarettes.

"I know." Sadie said cheekily. "I know a lot about you actually." She threw her legs up on the table; she was actually quite a tiny person.

"Oh do you now." Naomi rolled her eyes, still trying to figure Sadie out.

"You're one of those political rights activists, right? You actually give a shit about stuff, yeah?" Her blue eyes locked on Naomi's as she spoke.

"Yeah, sort of." Naomi shrugged. There was something disarming about Sadie. Naomi just couldn't bring herself to be horrible or defensive around her.

"I think you'll change the world." She said thoughtfully, without a single mocking tone in her voice. Naomi was taken aback by the honesty in her voice.

"Look, Kieran's gone into town to get me an airbed and I'm pretty sure I don't snore or anything. And you can always tell me to fuck off for a bit if you want some alone time with your girlfriend. So maybe it won't be so bad? It's only for a week anyway." Sadie shrugged. Naomi thought about it for a minute, staring at Sadie appraisingly. There was something about her that intrigued Naomi.

"Emily's gone away for a few days actually, so you don't have to worry about that." She said eventually, her tone friendlier than before. Sadie smiled.

"So that's why you're in such a mood then?" Naomi's jaw dropped indignantly. She was going to deny it but realised there was no point.

"Maybe." She bit her lower lip to hide a smirk.

"She'll be back for the wedding though won't she? Cause I was sort of looking forward to meeting her."

"Oh yeah she'll be back for the wedding. I think my mum would kill her if she missed it." Naomi chuckled.

"Yeah, your mum seems to really like her. That's great. Makes life a whole lot easier." Naomi nodded remembering her experience with Emily's family. "Your mum is really nice. We had a good talk earlier."

"She's a bit mad." Naomi said.

"Well she would need to be if she's marrying our Kieran." Sadie chuckled.

"He's not so bad." Naomi shrugged. He was her favourite teacher after all.

"Speaks very highly of you too." Sadie added, stubbing out her cigarette. "So what do you think Naomi, can we be friends?"

Naomi brow furrowed in thought. "I suppose." She sighed. Sadie rolled her eyes and stubbed out her cigarette.

"Well Naomi, now we're friends why don't we have some fun?" She asked with a devilish glint in her eye.

"What did you have in mind?" Naomi asked curiously.
