Our Time Now
The idea for this had bounced along for a bit and I hope I can pull this off...This is AU future material and I still don't own GH
Leaning against the wooden back of her father's antiquated desk chair she flipped on his computer and let her manicured hands race across the keys a mile a minute. Pulling a loose strain of her long curly blonde hair from her deep ocean eyes she suddenly felt a nervous knot in her stomach letting her know something wasn't good.
"Mackenzie Georgiana Spinelli," her father's voice rang from behind her, "What are you doing and please do not say hacking into the schools mainfraim."
She turned to look into the matching eyes of her father who looked real good for being almost fourty.
The sixteen year old gave him her patent pout a perfect combonation of beoth her mothers and fathers pouts which her mother had once told her could have her get away with murder while her father commented not to encourage her.
Sure she knew all about her parents past. Her father a computer genious and social outcast and her mother the quintecential mean girl met and became friends after a series of most unfortunate events. Then one night in a moment of weakness they slept together and conceived her through share accident. Sixteen years later her mother was Editor in Chief of Crimson Magazine and her father was a High School English Teacher and Part time Private Investagator who were so in love it was sickning sometimes to watch.
"I've become immune to the pout."
"Come on dad, you were the Jackal..."
"Were excuse me, I still AM the Jackal anyway were you hacking the schools mainfriem or not."
"I was...come on dad, I know you mean well be making my scedual all AP's but seriously I'm realy not all that smart."
"Yess you are."
"And besides with all that extra work it might put a strain on me with Drama Club..."
He then pouted back to her.
"Fine, I will change your schedule...HOWEVER."
"However."
"You have to keep two AP's...My class and a class of your choosing."
"History," she said with no thinking whatsoever.
Nodding he motioned for her to remove herself from his chair and so she did.
Typeing away he soon looked over to her.
"Your mom is in the office today and it's a nice day, I don't have a case, it's summer...how about I take you for some icecream."
"As much as I'd love for that I kind of have plans."
He looked over at his girl. She was dressed in a pair of light blue flipflops and matching tanktop and a white skirt. He cold see traces of her black and white dotted bikini underneath.
"So heading to the boathouse with Maddie."
"Boathouse yes, Maddie no."
He rolled his eyes, there was only one other person besides Maddie Drake that he could think of but before he could ask the doorbell rang and Mackenzie ran to get it.
He watched as she opened the door to see a young man also about sixteen with long messy black hair and Topaz eyes wearing a pair of kaki shorts and an open plaid top.

It wasn't Landon Zacchara's name that agitated him it was the fact that it was a teenage boy wanting to be alone with his baby. Sure Landon and Mackenzie were born just days apart and Lulu and Johnny were close family friends it was a principal thing. Even though Mackenzie insisted Landon was practically her brother he kept playing his wife saying those exact same words to him all those years ago.
"Landon."
"Mr.Spinelli."
The two men looked at eachother as Mackenzie grabbed her bag and hugged her dad before they headed out.

"I know your family is friends with mine but I sware your old man hates you."
"He hates any guy withing a 5 mial radious of me take no offence."
He grined his perfect smile at her.
"So anyway Spinelli do they know about New York yet."
"yea Zacchara like I can so go up to my parents and say guess what, I was accepted for a semester exchange at a theater conservatory in New Youk. My mom would be thrilled but dad."
"Doesn't want to see his little girl grow up."
"Exactly, you see he never had a family until he had me."
"Yea well both my parents had families and they are just happy I didn't go crazy like them."
She slugged him playfully as he slipped a CD into his jeeps CD player.
"I made this before I left."
The soft sounds of classical piano filled the car.
"Is this you."
He nodded.
You see despite Landon's good looks he was kind of a geek in his own right. He was a musical prodigy like his father though unlike his father he was encurraged to explore his talents.
"This isn't the way to the boathouse."
"That's cause we aren't going there."
"Then where are we going."
"Spence is home and wanted me to drop by Spoon Island."
She smiled.
"Do you think he'd let me ride, I've missed rideing so much."
"I don't see why not."
Mackenzie squeeled and gave Landon a small hug causeing butterflys to fill up his stomach as they made their way toward the launch.
