A/N: Really should give you an update so you know how Sandle's doing in my world but I found this after a long time, came from a dream I had about someone else but the strange thing was that both Sara and Greg were in here. Another what if story about Nick and Katie. I would explain who everyone is but I'll save it for another chapter. Hope you like it.

Don't own anything but Katie and Jessica in here, the town they live in and the teddy bear but at least it's something.

Let me know what you think.

"Greg could you just stop while I try and talk to you?" Katie asked as she dodged after him once again. Greg having worked at the town's only supermarket for over a year shook his head no and continued stocking the shelves at an alarming speed.

"Can't. Wait till my shifts over in" he checked his watch "twenty minutes"

"I guess, I'll just look around till then" she turns to walk out when she sees her sister's boyfriend

"Should I go up and talk to him?" she asked open air, Greg already moved on to his next area stocking the produce very close to where Nick her sisters boyfriend stood. Not sure what she was to do she ducked down and almost crawled to another part of the store and kept glancing over her shoulder every few seconds or so just so she wouldn't have a close call. Couldn't talk to him if she didn't run into him.

It's not that she didn't like him its just well she had somewhat of a school girls crush on him, she would turn red whenever he talked to her, and she almost fainted every time he stayed for dinner and passed her the potatoes or salt. He was the older college boy home for the summer and how her sister had managed to keep him wrapped around her finger she had no clue because with the way he looked, he got hit on every where he went even Kelly one of the cashiers attempted to flirt with him but he only managed one or two word answers and she stopped. Katie was ducking behind the flower section watching the two.

"Spying on anybody interesting" she let out a yelp as Greg crouched down beside her, she looked up to see if anyone saw her luckily being behind the flower stalls hid her from view.

"No"

"Liar"

"I'm not lying are you done cause the parade is about to start" Katie asked him making sure the coast was clear and ducked out the exit doors none other than the target she was hiding from. Keeping her mouth closed and hoping he didn't see her she looked at Greg who smirked and spoke she could have killed him.

"Who goes to these things anyways, it's the same every year" Nick turned around and she could feel her cheeks growing red already

"Greggo it's what we call tradition, you would miss it if next year it wasn't here, it gives the townsfolk something to do and talk about for days after" Nick spoke looking at Katie who seemed in a comatose state.

"I never thought of it like that" Greg agreed moving off walking with Nick

"I'm going to Jenn's house right beside yours for the parade, wanna a ride home?" Greg was about to say yes when Katie finally found her voice

"We'll walk but thanks" she started to pull Greg away but he stood his ground

"I just worked all day and if the man here is willing to give us a ride then so be it"

"Sorry the back's kinda of a mess" they both looked into the back it barely had space for one person.

"No worries I'm used to that when we go camping up at my grandmother's cottage I get stuck in the back between all the stuff" Greg climbed in the back smirking once again at Katie who still stood outside glaring at Greg. Katie climbed in and soon they were home. She said a polite thanks and ran into the house.

"What was that about?" Nick asked Greg as the two men went up the steps, Greg following Katie and Nick coming to get his girlfriend Jessica, Katie's sister.

"She probably had to go real bad" Greg offered laughing to himself, with both men walking in Jessica was in the kitchen and Greg knew where Katie would be, so he went up the stairs after a short, I'll see you later.

"Katie it's me" he told her knocking and Katie had her music on, standing in front of her closest deciding on what to wear for the festival later on tonight after the parade. It had to be eye popping but not to revealing; it was a small town.

"He asked why you ran off to suddenly" Greg laid down on her bed picking up her stuffed bear he'd given her for her sixth birthday.

"What did you tell him?" she asked frantically she had never though he would notice just she had to get out of there and fast before she said something stupid.

"That you had to go real bad" she picked up another stuffed animal laying near by and chucked it at him.

"Would telling him how you feel really be that bad?" Katie stared at him, he'd never said anything remotely to girlie and this was an all-time high.

"That scared even me" he stated afterwards but waited for her answer

"It would never work, I'm seventeen and he's twenty one, and not to mention he's dating my sister"

"He already knows the family it would save time in introductions" Jessica walked in on the word introductions thankfully alone.

"Nick and I are going over to Jenn's house now" Katie nodded waiting for her to get out of her room so she could shut the door. Glancing at the clock they noticed the time and got up off the bed and made their way downstairs to the sidewalk outside, sitting down on the curb. Looking over her shoulder to Jenn's house she saw her sister all over Nick and him looking at her, their eyes connected and looked away. That was a little too weird.

"Hey Guys" Sara sat down beside Katie. Sara was Katie's other best friend, the girlfriend she could talk to when Greg wasn't around, they could go shopping and do stuff that Greg refused to do. Which wasn't much because Greg had the biggest crush on Sara ever since she transferred here in the seventh grade.

"Sorry I'm late but mom insisted we get our nails done before the parade" she held up her hand to reveal a pink colour, if Sara's mom knew anything about her pink was not the colour her daughter wanted her nails painted.

"We'll play some football or some other male sport so it gets chipped and have to be repainted" Katie assured her, looking over her shoulder one more time she noticed he wasn't looking at her.

But she missed that he looked away seconds before she turned and looked back seconds later after she turned back around.
