A/N: Battle For Beacon Hills, is currently being written. I'm trying to write all the chapters, then post it okay? Sorry for the delay. Anyway, I find this pairing extremely cute so I just had to write a fic about them.

Discover it Up!

Chapter One

The halls of John Hughes High School were bustling with students, lockers slamming and the chatter of teenagers filling the silence of the echoing hallways. As others avoided the teachers due to their insane obsession with texting, and others checking the poll board for any fundraisers or dances coming up, two young girls strode down the hallway arm in arm, their stylish clothes gathering the attention of by standing students.

"Rocky, you know I'm really bad at math .. I have to pass this class or else my mom won't let me dance on the show, and Phil's not gonna let go of me so easily." Said CeCe Jones, as she maneuvered her way past some students to open her locker.

"CeCe you'll be fine, I know you will. Just because Henry got accepted into some fancy science academy to tutor college kids doesn't mean you won't be able to handle this on your own." Replied her best friend, Rocky Blue. She flipped her now long wavy brunette hair back, and put her chemistry book in her locker.

"It's just .. the spotlight dance is coming up, and Phil promised us this chance. I mean, even Ty said that it'd be the biggest spotlight dance of the season, and even a few representatives from Julliard might be watching." CeCe replied, sighing and leaning against the locker.

Rocky sighed as well, and put her hand around her shoulder. "CeCe, you're one of the smartest .. scratch that .. most ambitious .. no, that's not it .. Uh, you're, uh .. dedicated. You'll get through this, I know it. Look, there's Duece, maybe he has the number to another tutor."

They both walked towards Duece, who seemed to be thinking about something heavily, as he wasn't his normal self. Rocky seemed to notice as he was listening to music, and sitting down on a bench, with his head in his hands.

"Hey Duece, what's up?" asked Rocky, sitting next to him. The latino boy looked up from his iPhone, and gave a weak, half smile to the mocha-skinned teen next to him.

"Hey Rocky, just listening to some music." He said, gesturing to his phone. Rocky happened to glance at the wallpaper to his phone, a picture of him and Ty that they took during their vacation to the lake.

"Are you okay Duece? You seem really upset." Said CeCe, applying makeup while looking at her face in the mini mirror she carried around everywhere. "I hope everything's alright."

"It's alright, it's just Dina. She's been dating again, and seeing her with her no boyfriend kinda hurt. I mean I know we've been over for a few weeks now, but I didn't think seeing her happy with someone would suck this bad. I mean, even seeing Savannah with someone didn't hurt this much." He explained, licking his lips in the process. His eyes were red, and he looked really tired, as if he hadn't slept in a while.

Rocky's heart sank a bit at hearing the pain her friend was going through. She'd never admit it, but Duece had been one of her closest friends. They'd been together on so many adventures, and he'd been there for her through her break up with Logan. "Oh Duece, I understand where you're coming from. Maybe you just need to hang out with friends to take your mind off of it. Me and CeCe were planning to see Texas Chainsaw 3D, Friday afternoon. Wanna come along?"

Duece felt his spirit lighten a bit, he didn't expect anyone to notice his mini depression. "Wow, thanks Rocky. But I'd kinda feel weird, I mean I don't wanna interrupt your girl time."

"Hey, why don't you ask Ty to come along?" CeCe asked.

"Yeah! That way you wouldn't feel awkward at all." Rocky agreed, "I'll text you the time we'll go, and I'll even tell Ty about it okay? Stay strong Duece, you'll get through this." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek, and walked away.

Later that night, Duece was laying down in his bed, looking through old photos that him and Dina took at the amusement park. He came to a particular one in which he was holding Dina from behind, and laughing into her neck, while she laughed as well, squeezing the teddy bear he took three hours, and fifty bucks to win for her. He smiled, and a lonely tear fell out of his eye. Even though they weren't Duece and Dina anymore, or the 'Double-D Factor', he was glad she was happy. While he was putting away the photo's, he heard his phone chime, and checked it to see Ty's name flashing against the screen.

From: Ty – Best Bro! 5:56 P.M

Hey Duece! :) just heard about TCM3D, you excited as I am?

Duece couldn't help but smile at the text, his best friend could be such a dork sometimes. He bit his lip, and quickly tapped on his screen, writing a reply.

To: Ty – Best Bro! 5:57 P.M

Lol, can't believe you forgot I'm not a fan of horror movies. I just need something to get my mind off of some stuff.

Duece quickly resented sending the text to Ty. Ty wouldn't wanna hear about his problems, Duece was no one special to waste good advice on, or so he thought. Which is why he usually kept to himself and didn't really bother talking about whatever issue he was going through. His phone chimed again, making him jump a bit.

From: Ty – Best Bro! 5:59 P.M

Oh yeah :/ I'm sorry to hear that bro, wanna talk about it? What can I do to help out man?

His heart fluttered a bit, he never expected Ty to actually care about his problem. He blushed, and he wondered whether or not he should just let it all out. He licked his lips softly, and then tapped out a detailed reply.

To: Ty – Best Bro! 6:03 P.M

It's just hard seeing Dina dating someone else, we were together for almost two years and it just seems like time wasted. I mean, I wanna tell her that I still have feelings for her, but at the same time, it's not worth it. I just, ugh. I see her around school with that new guy and I just get so ANGRY.

He pressed send, and wondered if he sounded too dramatic. He figured since Ty asked, he wouldn't mind hearing the whole bit, so he shrugged it off and decided to just lay back and listen to more music. He was halfway through Up, Up and Away, which reminded him of Rocky, when his phone chimed again.

From: Ty – Best Bro! 6:09 P.M

Duece, it's honestly not worth it in my opinion. At the end of the day, to tell her how you feel is your decision, and if it gives you closure, go for it. But in the end, if she can't see what an awesome, and amazing person you more, it's her loss. Never pin all of your hopes and dreams on someone unworthy. If she was worthy, she'd never have left you .. no matter what.

Duece's heart was on full beat box mode, thumping and threatening to escape his chest. This was a side of Ty he'd never seen before, compassionate and caring. Maybe Duece was wrong, maybe his and Ty's friendship wasn't fading, maybe there's still some sauce in their jar. He smiled, and tapped out a reply.

To: Ty – Best Bro! 6:12 P.M

Wow, that was really sweet Ty, you really think I'm amazing? Aw, you just made me blush lol. But you're right, totally right. But listen I'm gonna go to bed okay? I'll see ya tomorrow night? :)

His eyes began to close slowly as he decided to head to sleep, his conscious slowly drifting away into a dream-like state when his phone chimed once more, causing him to wake up again, and groan in frustration. His phone chimed a second time, and then a third time. Since when was he this popular? He opened the first text, which was from Rocky.

From: Rocky 6:20 P.M

Hey Duece! Hope you're doing okay, just letting you know that the movie starts at about 8:40 tomorrow night, and then we'll have a sleepover at my house after, kay? Get some rest, you looked like you need it! Xoxo – Rocky.

He smiled at Rocky's kindness, and then remembered he had two more text messages to go through. He sighed, and then tapped open the next message, which was from CeCe.

From: CeCe 6:20 P.M

Don't know if Rocky told you, but sleepover at her house tomorrow after the movies! Night Duece! And remember, if your parents say no, just remember to POO! Xoxo

Duece stifled a laugh at CeCe's logic. She really had a way to make people feel better even if it wasn't intentionally. He quickly tapped out a thank you reply to both of them, as well as a goodnight reply, and then tapped open the third message, which was from Ty.

From Ty – Best Bro! 6:20 P.M

A little early to be heading to bed dontcha think? Lol but you're welcome man, anything for my best bro. You're one of the awesomest and most amazing friends I've ever had you knucklehead. Goodnight, see ya tomorrow!

Duece blushed once more before setting his phone onto the charger and cuddling into his bed. After about twenty minutes, he found he couldn't sleep, so he went back, and looked through his Instagram newsfeed, and saw a picture of Ty, laying down in bed smiling, with the caption; Love making my friends smile :)

Duece quickly double-tapped the picture, hoping Ty wouldn't question why he liked it. There was just something about Ty's smile, the way his dimples pressed into his cheek, and the way his button nose complimented his face, that made Duece feel at ease, and he decided to lock his phone, and lay down once more, before knocking out completely, and dreaming about the day he and Ty first met.

Flashback/Dream Sequence:

Duece was sitting on the porch of his apartment building, swiping a stick at the pavement, and sighing. It wasn't easy being ten, and living in Chicago as an only child. Sometimes he just wished he had someone to play with and talk to, that way he wouldn't be such a loner at home and in school. He was watching a family of ants walked past him when he caught notice of a boy about two years older than him staring at him, with his head cocked to the side. Duece swallowed nervously and stammered to talk.

"I'm sorry, are you trying to get passed? I'm probably blocking your way, I'll just move. I'm sorry." He said, quickly gathering his things and beginning to get up when the mystery boy stopped him.

"No, it's not that. I'm just wondering why you're out here all alone is all." The boy replied back, "I'm Ty. My family moved in last week."

"Oh, hey Ty. I'm Martin, but everyone just calls me Duece. And I'm sitting here outside, cuz' there's no one else to play with." Deuce replied, hanging his head low.

"Well, don't you have any video games to beat?" asked Ty, sitting next to Duece on the porch.

"Yeah, there's Twisted Metal 4, but it's too hard for me to beat, so I kinda gave up on it." Duece replied, with a sad face. Ty sputtered a bit, then shot up excitedly.

"Twisted Metal 4!? That's the newest one in the series! Twisted Metal is by far my favorite game! Dude, you are so lucky. You're how old?" Ty asked.

"My uncle Poncho got it for me before it even came out, and I'm ten." Duece said shyly.

"That's awesome man, and oh that's cool, I'm twelve." Ty said with a proud smile, and got up to twist on his feet in one fast circle, and struck a pose, "And I Love to Dance!"

"Woah, that was totally cool! Wanna come up to my apartment and help me beat Twisted Metal?" Duece asked.

"I'd be honored! Come on let's go!" Ty said, taking hold of Duece's hand and running up the apartment stairs. He came to a door, and flung it open, revealing a living room with some unpacked boxes scattered around. Still holding Duece's hand tight, he went up to a short woman, who was folding some laundry. "Ma! This is my new friend Duece, we're gonna go play video games at his place is that okay?"

Ty's mother smiled sweetly, "Nice to meet you Duece, and sure Ty just be back before it's too late, you have to help Rocky with her homework remember?"

"Got it Mom." Ty smiled, and ran off to the hallway still clutching the young Latino's hand, "Where's your apartment?"

"Straight down the hall, make a right and it's the third door on your left." Said Duece before being dragged away by Ty again. Duece unlocked the front door with his key, and found his mother cooking some Cuban rice with a side of beans and porkchops.

"Mi hijo! There you are, oh who's your friend?" asked his mother, before wiping down her hands on her apron and walking over to her son and Ty.

"He's my new friend Ty, is it okay if he stays to play some video games with me?" he asked sweetly.

"Of course he can Duecey. Are you staying for dinner Ty?" she asked him, holding out a hand to greet him, "It's wonderful to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too, and sure if it's alright with you." Ty smiled politely, bouncing on the balls of his heels.

"Alright then, dinner will be ready shortly, just make sure you two wash up before dinner." She said, before continuing her cooking.

This time it was Duece's turn to grab Ty's hand and lead him to his room. Duece hesitated at first, but then grabbed the taller boy's hand, intertwining their fingers and leading them to his room. Ty walked in and marveled at Duece's room. In the middle of the room, was Duece's sofa bed, and in front of it was a large TV with many movies and games that stacked below them. Above him, there were so many glow in the dark stars, that were shaped in a spiral. Model planes hung from the latches on the ceiling past the stars, and many posters of different video games and movies covered the blue walls. Ty ran over to Duece's dresser, where many Pokemon toys were organized into a small scene.

"Dude your room is wicked!" said Ty, sitting on the sofa bed. He watched as Duece plugged in the game system and popped in Twisted Metal 4. There was no way this kid could have no friends, he was super nice and awesome!

"Thanks, I designed it myself, and my cousins Paco and Seraphina helped with the decorations." Duece replied, as he tossed a controller to Ty, and grabbed one for himself.

"Man, I'm kicking your butt dude!" said Ty, as they played the game. Ty's car was shooting everyone in sight, including Duece.

"I told you I was bad at this game!" said Duece in defense, "That's why nobody ever plays with me, I'm like bad at everything."

Ty paused the game, and looked at Duece incredulously , "That's not true, you're good at being my friend so far."

"I don't have any friends .." Deuce said sadly.

"That's not true, you have a best friend." Stated Ty, crossing his arms.

"Who?" asked Duece, cocking his head to the side in puzzlement, before being pulled into a tight embrace.

"Me." Said Ty, bringing Duece into the hug tighter.

Duece laid his head on Ty's shoulder, and relaxed a bit, savoring the embrace. He looked up at Ty with big brown eyes, and smiled. "Thank you … best friend."

"You're welcome, and I'll always be here to protect you." Ty said, holding the other boy again.

End of Flashback/Dream Sequence.

Duece awoke the next morning with a feeling in the pit of his stomach. He would never forget that day, in which he made his first friend, and then both Rocky and CeCe afterwards. He owed it all to Ty, and he'd make sure Ty had the best night of his life. Duece had to thank him somehow, and he knew just how to do it.

Sorry the dream/flashback was pretty long, I thought I needed some fluff up in here :3, but anyway, review please :D thanks!
