A/N: Hey, half the credit for the plot of this story goes to Fabninja. They came up with some of it while some of the ideas in the plot are mine.

Chapter 1: Cole's POV

"Hey dad…" I said in a low voice. I didn't want April to hear me talking to my old man; she'd just bring up the topic of meeting each other's dads. Why couldn't she just leave it at Dareth? Her uncle was cool with me before I started dating her so there was no problem, but I didn't know a thing about her dad. Besides I didn't want her meeting my dad because when he thought of girls, he thought of skirts, long hair and a perfect dancer. That wasn't April. "Hello son, how are you?"

"I'm okay, how are you?"

"Fine; and I have good news for you." I waited for him to continue. "I've found a very classy young lady for you, she likes music and she's very pretty."

I sighed. He didn't know April even existed so of course he'd try to get me to go out with some preppy chick that was like every other girl in the crowd. "Uh, no thanks dad,"

"Well why not? If you aren't comfortable with that I could get another girl for you or perhaps…boy?"

Okay, my dad thought I was gay instead of him just knowing I was going out with April. I had to fix that. I sighed again. "No dad I'm not gay, it's just…" I trailed off.

"Oh well do you like girls and boys? Is that it?"

I slapped my forehead and groaned. "No I'm only into girls dad. But the thing is…I…Uh…" I wasn't embarrassed about my relationship with April or anything but I was afraid he wouldn't like her if he knew about her. Suddenly April walked into the room and I panicked. "Uh, see ya'." I said superfast, hanging up.

April leaned against the wall and folded her arms. "That was your dad Cole I'm not dumb." She adjusted her glasses on her face and glared at me through the lenses. "Why won't you just let me meet him already?"

"Why won't you let me meet your dad?" I shot back.

April raised a brow at me. "You know my dad's ignored me for ten years, I'm pretty sure he's dead anyway…"

Ugh, why'd I say that? I felt like a jerk-off now. She must've been hurting if she hadn't seen her dad in ten years. Who the hell doesn't know if their dad is dead or not? That's messed up. "I didn't mean that." I sighed for like the millionth time.

"It's okay," she nodded. "Look, if you let me meet your dad, I'll track down mine and then you can meet him."

I considered for a short moment. Maybe if my dad saw that I loved April he wouldn't care that she wasn't a dancer or that she was a bit clumsy. Okay, a huge klutz, but he wouldn't care if I loved her right? Right!?

RIGHT!?

…

"Oh dude you're screwed." Kai said after I told him, the guys and Marceline about the entire situation later that day.

"Don't discourage him, man. Cole, April's gonna' be alright." Lloyd reassured me. Everyone stared at him, knowing that was a total lie. "What? Scarlet's rich and I'm not but her family loves me."

Marceline shot an empty beer can into the trash like it was a basketball. She was sort of like a guy anyway so talking about guy stuff in front of her was no big deal. "Yeah the same thing with Tony too." She said. "April's gonna' be fine."

"Sure, you'd think that but my dad's picky. You should've seen my mom before she died, she was pretty much perfection." I said.

"Besides…" Jay shrugged. "If Lou doesn't like her, you're twenty four he can't tell you who to date."

Kai tossed a beer can at the blue ninja's head. "Not helping, Jay."

I sighed. Some help they all were…

A/N: Short chapter I know! The next chapter will be a bit longer and better. If you're a little lost about the story line, read "The Water Nerd" from the beginning and you'll get it.
