A/N This is AU, Courtney and Sonny have the same parents who are both dead, and Courtney is sixteen, she lives with Sonny, who is thirty-two, he's her guardian. Robin's parents are dead as well and Jason is her cousin, Mac doesn't exist in this so she was sent to live with Jason; who is her guardian. Robin is sixteen as well. I'm not sure where this is going yet, but it's pouring rain here right now and I was outside watching it and this is the result. Jason is nineteen in this story, and he already works for Sonny, and Stone doesn't exist.

It had rained that night, not just the typical spring rain that you come to expect but a full on shower. The night was cool, not warm enough for the rain to be comfort. It was the kind of rain that you kept your children inside for, the rain that often caused a chorus of I'm boreds from children who wanted to be outside playing. It was the type of storm that most people wouldn't be caught dead outside in. But Courtney Corinthos wasn't one of those people. She loved the rain, and that night as she would on any other rainy night she snuck out of the penthouse apartment she shared with her older brother. Sonny was her legal guardian as both her Mother and Father were long dead. Sneaking past Sonny was no easy task, not that she wasn't up for it. Sonny had guards posted outside the doors and the windows were made of bulletproof glass and rarely open, but somehow Courtney managed to sneak out. Sonny would kill her if he ever caught her leaving the penthouse without a guard but she hated having one with her, they confined her; and the reason she loved the rain so much was that she was free when it rained the world seemed to start over and everything was good. Courtney snuck past her brother who was otherwise occupied with his girlfriend Carly. He was in the kitchen talking on the phone to her. She headed past the kitchen and down the hall to the small sitting room, Sonny had never liked it he wasn't fond of small spaces but Courtney typically went in there to think. The room had one advantage that her darling brother didn't know about; not only did the window open there was also a good ladder for climbing on made from vines that grew on the brick. Courtney climbed out the window and onto the balcony railing. She leaned across it grinning as a particularly large drop of rain hit her square on the forehead. She climbed down the vines; which definitely wasn't anything to joke about seeing as how she lived on the penthouse floor. Courtney quickly headed as far away from the apartment as she could; Sonny had guards outside as well and it wouldn't due for them to catch her. Her sneakers made a squelching noise as she walked along. She loved the way the rain made the street look misty as the street lights cast a golden glow on the asphalt. She reached her destination in ten minutes; she loved the pier especially when it rained. The pier overlooked the harbor and the soft pit-pat that occurred as the droplets of rain hit the water always soothed her.
"Hey, Court." Robin said softly coming up behind her friend. Courtney turned pushing a strand of wet blond hair out of her eyes.
"Should've of known you'd be out here watching the rain." Courtney said by way of greeting to her best friend. Robin smiled at her friend and sat down on the edge of the pier her feet dangling over the edge. Courtney plopped down beside her after a moment not caring whether she got even wetter. "I thought you weren't allowed out, especially after the latest incidence with the Sandavols."
"Oh, and you are?" Robin answered raising an eyebrow. Courtney shook her head spraying water all over her best friend.
"Yeah but Jason always catches you when you try to sneak past him." Courtney answered.
"He wasn't home." Robin answered laughing.
"He's going to kill you." Courtney informed her friend.
"Please, we both know that if he finds out that I was out here he'll find out you were, and then you're as good as dead, too." Robin responded. Courtney shook her head at her friend and turned her attention once more to the water. Both girls jumped when they felt hands descend on both of their shoulders hauling them to their feet.
"What is it that you two are doing exactly?" Jason questioned raising an eyebrow.
"Um…" Robin answered grinning nervously at her cousin.
"Never mind. Let's go." Jason said holding out his umbrella for them to get under.
"No, thanks." They said together sprinting ahead of him, jumping in any puddles they came across. Jason shook his head at them; they acted so much like little kids sometimes.
A/N Review please, there will be more.
