It's A Wonderful Life
Disclaimer: If I owned them, you would be seeing it on TV, not reading it on this board.
Pairing: S/A all the way!

Spoilers: After 'Friends With Benefits'.

Summary: Like the movie. One of our favorite S.o.N. characters wishes she was never born and has to face the repercussions of having her wish granted.

Chapter One
Intro
Today is a pretty special day. No, not because it is the 'holiday season' or anything quite so ordinary.
No, today a teenager, just like you or me, will get to experience the holidays in a way many of us could never dream of. She is going to experience it as if she had never been born.
Now, I'm sure that you must be wondering why anyone would wish that upon themselves. There are several reasons and, if you would quit asking so many damn questions, I will get to hers.
First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Megan and I am a guide of sorts. I deal with this kind of shit all of the time and it is my job to show people what life would be like without them. Trust me, we're better off without most of them.
However, some people just greatly under appreciate themselves and their worth. This is one such account.
Now, sit down and shut up so that I can get to the story. Ahem...

Morning
Two best friends are driving on their way to school, the dark-haired girl behind the wheel as per usual. They are smiling and singing along to the radio. Both are in good spirits as today is the last day of school before their winter break. However, what they don't know, is that today is the last day their friendship would remain as it is.
Once they pull up to the school, the brunette reaches into the backseat and pulls a blue backpack into the front before handing it to her friend with a smile.
"Thanks Ash," she smiles warmly at her friend as they begin to get out of the car.
"No problem Spence," Ashley replies with equal warmth as she grabs her bag and they begin to walk towards the school.
"You know," Spencer begins conspiratorially. "I hear there is a new girl starting today," she informs the other girl.
"Really?" Ashley asks and the other girl simply nods. "What kind of sicko would start their kid at a new school the day before Christmas break?" She asks rhetorically, making a disgusted face.
"Who knows," Spencer responds noncommittally with a shrug.
"Oh look! Hottie alert!" Ashley nudges her friend into following her line of sight. "Let's go say hi," she instructs as she grabs Spencer's hand and drags her across the quad.
"You and new girls," Spencer grumbles as she allows herself to be led to where the new girl is sitting.
Ashley pointedly ignores her as they reach the aforementioned hottie. "Hi, I'm Ashley and this is Spencer," she greets the new arrival.
"I'm Chrissy," the new girl replies, smiling at the two as she takes in the brunette's warm smile and the blonde's eye roll. "So, are you guys, like, a couple?" Chrissy asks, looking at their hands still entwined together.
They both immediately drop the other's hand and share a perplexed expression. "No, but we are both kind of into girls," Ashley replies, reserving the 'kind of' part for Spencer.
"Just not each other," Chrissy points out.
"No, not each other," Spencer says, not sounding absolutely sure. Chrissy eyes Ashley seductively, causing the blonde to move closer to her friend protectively. "But we're still very close," she points out as she wraps a protective arm around her friend's waist.
"Yeah," Ashley agrees obliviously as she puts her own arm around Spencer's neck. "You look lost," she points out after a moment. "How about Spencer and I show you around?" She offers with a winning smile, causing Spencer to curse under her breath.

Lunch
"Hey Spence," Ashley greets her friend as she excitedly plops herself down in front of her friend at their usual table.
"Oh, so you remember my name?" Spencer snarks out bitterly, obviously jealous.
"Please, don't even go there," Ashley rolls her eyes. "Chrissy and I are going to skip the rest of the day. Did you want to come?" She invites the blonde after a moment.
"You know I have a test next class," Spencer whines, motioning towards her books spread out on the table.
"That's never stopped you before," Ashley sing-songs.
"Last time we got lucky. I am not going to take my chances again," Spencer points out.
"Whatever," Ashley breathes out in mild disappointment. "I'll see you later thought right?" She asks hopefully.
Spencer takes a moment to reflect on the way her friend was looking at the new girl this morning. "No, I'll let you guys be alone," she responds suggestively.
Finally, Ashley decides that she's had enough of Spencer being so cold to her. "What is your problem?" She nearly shouts, flailing her arms around for emphasis of her exasperation.
"God, it's like you hook up with people for no reason!" Spencer shouts back, frustrated at the other girl's overly flirtatious behavior with anything that moves.
"What do you care?" Ashley asks angrily, getting into Spencer face. "It's not like you're my girlfriend," she taunts before turning around and leaving. Spencer stares after the other girl wide-eyed and tears beginning to form.
Madison approaches the blonde with a smirk. "Lover's quarrel?" She questions teasingly with her hands on her hips and her minions chuckling behind her.
"Fuck off Madison," Spencer growls before she gathers her stuff and goes over to where Aiden is talking to some of the other basketball players. She tugs on his sleeve to get his attention.
"Hey, what's up?" He asks with a bright smile on his face. "Are you okay?" He wonders, noticing how the younger girl looks about ready to cry.
"Can you take me home?" She asks to dark-haired boy.
"Yeah sure," Aiden replies as he picks up his gym bag and leads the girl to his car.
Ten minutes later shows the two of them pulling up in front of Spencer's house. As Aiden puts the car into park, he turns to face the blonde girl beside him only to have her lean across and begin to make out with him desperately. He is happy to oblige, at least until he feels something warm and wet on his face. He pulls away and sees that Spencer is crying.
"Is this about Ashley?" Aiden asks as he tries to look into her eyes.
"She's seeing some girl now," Spencer tells him as she tries to move in on him again.
Aiden gently pushes her away. "I don't want to be your backup," he informs the girl. "Just, get out of my car," he orders, shaking his head at the other girl.
Spencer sadly exits his vehicle before pulling out her house key and making her way upstairs to her room. She climbs into her bed and starts to cry.
What a nightmare! Now everybody hates me. Madison, Aiden and Ashley. "I wish I had never been born," she sobs dramatically into her pillow.
"Okay," comes a feminine voice behind her. Spencer turns around to face the girl behind her.
"Huh?" She questions, dumbstruck.
"You wished that you had never been born so, wish granted: You never existed," the other girl shrugs.
"Oh," Spencer replies in shock.
