Ok everyone, this is my first story ever that im posting online. Im not too much of a writer but I hope you like it anyways. This one takes place right after the dance in the episode 'Snow Job' so you're warned if you haven't seen the episode yet. Oh and before I forget, there will be pairings. Nikki/Jonsey, Wyatt/Marlo, and maybe others if I decide to keep going. Anyways, enjoy!

"Last dance everyone." The Dj called over the mic and put a slow song on over the speakers. Everyone that wasn't too tired made their way out on the floor but considering that it was ten to one, most people put their jackets on and got ready to leave.
Our classic group of six (well the ones that weren't dancing) sat in their usual order at one of the tables in the corner of the gym. Their dates were off getting jackets or doing some other form of business before they all left so they all relaxed at talked.
"Jen, the dance was amazing!" Caitlin said for the hundredth time that night. She looked wonderful in her gold colored dress. And for the first time this year, no one else was wearing it.
She laughed. "Your only saying that because you hooked up with the Albatross and Fintch Greater God." Caitlin blushed. The winter snowball was great, but getting him as her date was even better. Who knew that going stag could be a good thing.
From the other side of the floor, Jude walked over to the group and took a seat on the other side of Jonsey.
"Sup dudes and dudetts." He slung an arm over the back of his chair. Although he tried to hide it, Jude was extremely tired. Some how he picked up three girls since he got at the dance, and managed to keep them all occupied. He wore himself out in the process but at least the girls had a good time. Not many people knew it but Jude was very much a ladies man. Not in the way Jonsey is, but he respected women and liked to see them happy.
"Sup Jude." Jonsey took his free hand, his other arm was wrapped around Nikki, and hit it against Jude's.
"Man this dance was the bomb dudes." He stretched his arms in front of him then slung the other one back behind his chair again.
"I would say Jude. You did have three dates." Nikki quipped. She wasn't as tired as the rest of the group since she only came half way though. And even then, she wouldn't of came unless Jonsey didn't come get her.
"I know bra. They were great. Just saw them off though. Getting a ride home with one of their friends."
"Kiss them all good night?" Caitlin winked.
"Of course." He winked back. Not exactally, he gave them all a kiss on the cheek and a hug but that was it. They were all friends any ways.
Jen looked at the empty seat at the table. "Wheres Wyatt? I've barley seen him all night."
Jonsey pointed over towards the stage. Wyatt was there with his new band packing away the equipment and making nice with his new girlfriend Marlo.
"He told me to tell you guys that he was going to get a ride with Marlo so we can go on.
Jude nodded. "Right on. Speaking of rides, how are we all getting home?"
"Well, Jen's date offered to give us four a ride home." Caitlin said, referring to herself and Jen's dates.
"And im driving the Zamboni back and getting my car there." Jude said next, trying to fight back a yawn.
Nikki shrugged. "I don't know. I wasn't planning on coming so my car is home.
"Well," Jonsey rubbed one of her shoulders. "I can give you a ride. Jen is getting a date with her date so I got the car." Nikki nodded.
"Ok then. So we're all meeting at the Lemon tomorrow?"
Jude clicked his fingers and pointed them like guns at Caitlin. "You bet."
As that was said, they all got up from their table, slipped their jackets on and left with their dates into the winter night.

Jonsey pulled up into the drive way at the Wong house and turned off the ignition. It was snowing pretty bad outside and they had trouble getting the car going when they first left the dance.
"Here we are." He spoke softly.
Nikki nodded and mumbled a yeah.
"So," He paused, finding a lack of words. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah. We're at the mall every day aren't we?"
This time he mumbled a yeah. Why was talking to her so hard? Other girls weren't this hard to talk to. And they were dancing and laughing all night. Why is this different?
'Cause we're alone.' He thought. Tonight there were a lot of people around but now that it's just the two of them ...
"Jonsey are you ok?" Nikki was looking at him now, a hand on his shoulder. He looked back at her. Everything about her was perfect. Her hair, her dress, her make up. Everything. Jonsey never thought his ideal girl would be a small, sarcastic Asian, but like most things about girls, he was wrong. Not that he would admit it.
"Yeah, im fine." He finally answered. He clapped a hand over hers and brought it down from his shoulder to his knee. "Nikki why is talking to you so hard?" The words slipped out.
"I ...don't know." She fumbled. Nikki never fumbled. She must be nervous too. At least Jonsey thought so. "Maybe its because we're alone or because tonight was..."
"..interesting." There was that lack of words again. They didn't say for awhile after that, just looked out the window at the snow coming down in heavy puffs.
Ten minutes passed until the awkward silence got the best of Jonsey's better judgement. He undid his seat belt and reached over, pulling Nikki's head towards him with his right hand and kissed her passionately on the lips. She undid her seat belt as well, after the shock of Jonsey's action wore off, and kissed him back. The snow kept falling and piling up on the windows quickly but the two of them didn't care. The silence was broken by the thing the two of them wanted all night.
By time all the windows were covered by the puffy snow, Jonsey had Nikki pushed up against the door on her side and the two of them were deeply making out.
"Jonsey." She mumbled, pulling away from his face.
"What? Is this...to much?" He pulled back looking a bit concerned. Yes, they both wanted it but maybe it was too much for Nikki right now.
She shook her head slightly. "No, it's not that." She clicked the button to make the clock turn on.
"1:50am" Jonsey read out loud then laughed. "We been in here for awhile.
Nikki laughed too. "Yeah we have." She put a hand on the door handle. "I'll see you tomorrow ok?"
Jonsey nodded. "Ok. At the Lemon." He put his hand on the keys. She smiled and turned them in the ignition.
The car made a revving noise but didn't start.
"What the?" Jonsey cocked an eyebrow and tried again.
"The engine is probably too cold."
He slumed back into the seat. "What the hell am I going to do now?"
Nikki thought for a moment. "Why don't call your dad?"
"At two in the morning? He'll kill me. I can just walk home, its not that bad outside."
"Jonsey. I can't just let you walk home. It's cold out and the wind is picking up. I know." Nikki got out of the car and quickly went over to Josneys side and opened his door. "Come on!" She grabbed his hand as he stepped out of the vehicle and just as he got the door shut, she pulled him towards the front door and inside.
"Man Nikki, what you do that for?" He asked looking dumbfounded. She took off her shoes and jacket and Jonsey followed her actions.
Nikki hung up both of her jackets. "If it wasn't obvious," she whispered. "I was inviting you to stay over. Now for the love of god, be quiet and go into the living room." He obeyed and quietly slipped into the living room as Nikki went down to the basement.
Jonsey always loved Nikki's house. It was a small place but very cosy and a nice 'retro' feel, as Caitlin once called it. The couch was soft and the carpet was really thick. That and her dad just got a new wide screen plasma television installed on the wall opposite of the couch so that could be a reason why the gang went over there so much.
Nikki trotted back upstairs quietly with two blankets and a pillow in her arms.
"Are you sure your parents won't mind?" He asked, taking the blankets from her.
Nikki shook her head. "I'll put a note on their dresser so they don't freak out in the morning and explain what happened when I get up. Trust me, I don't think they will care as long as your on the couch and im in my room. If they caught us having sex or something that would be a whole different story."
"Aww, so that means no late night make outs?" Jonsey winked jokingly, covering himself up. She swatted at his head playfully with her hand and grinned.
"Night cowboy." She chuckled. They kissed lightly and Nikki made her way up to her parents room to write the note.

A car pulled up into the Garcia's driveway and Jen stepped out on to the snowy pavement. The four of them decided to take a joyride before they went home.
"See you tomorrow Jen!" Caitlin called from the window but before Jen could answer, she rolled up the window and they drove off. She waved and made her way up to the doorstep.
"I can't wait to see the look on Jonseys face when he sees I came home later then he did for once!" She giggled and put a hand on the frosty door knob. As she went to open it a thought crossed her head. Jen looked at the driveway where the fresh tracks of the car lay.
Jonsey's car wasn't there.
Jonsey's car wasn't there!
He couldn't still be at Nikki's could he? They were the first ones to leave the dance. Unless they were ...
Jen clapped a gloved hand over her mouth and rushed into the house, texting a '911' to Caitlin as she went.

Well? What you think? It's not too long and I wrote most of it at 3:00am when I was babysitting so I will probably edit it later. Leave a comment please! I'll try to finish this up before my winter holidays is over!
