Author note: This is based by an very very very strange dream I had. It had the characters from recess for some reason (I hadn't watched it in years)
I don't own Recess
Missing
Chapter One
"This is the best school trip ever." Said T.J as he lend against the edge of the large outdoor swimming pool.
"I still don't see the educational aspect of this trip." Said Gretchen, who was sitting on the edge her feet in the water, holding an book in her hand.
"Who cares about that?" Asked Spinelli, who was in an middle of a water wrestling match with Vince.
"This is an reward trip." Said Mikey thoughtfully. "We are ment to have fun, but I though the teachers would make chose something more educational, but I'm not complaining."
"Well, I'm just glad dad let me go." Said Gus, swimming over. "He's been stricter than normal lately..."
They was an large splash as Vince and Spinelli pulled each other under water. A lifeguard blew their whistle and yell at them. "Can you lot just be glad we are here?" Asked Vince, as they come back up to the surface laughing.
"Vince is right," Said Micky diplomatically. "We're all are here together, despite T.J endless detentions, Gus's father, Spinelli's temper, Gretchen's addiction to studying and Vince's sporty stuff." Mikey closed his eyes "And against the odds we all reminds close firends..."
"Not without it's difficulties." Added Gus.
T.J laughed, lot of people were shock about their mis match group, some people try to break up their friendship. But they been firends too long to let childish games get in their way. "Lets go exploring." Said T.J getting himself out of the pool. "This is a large place, bet it has an bar..."
"Really T.J?" Asked Mikey getting out of the pool also "I though you promised your parents to behave yourself this trip."
"Okay not alcohol. Let just explore."
They all an agreed, and started to walk around the grounds, but they wasn't much. An run down crazy golf course, an few trees and an murky looking pond. "Well, this whomps," said T.J
"Lets just head back to the pool," said Gus.
"Lets race back," suggested Vince quickly.
Spinelli laughted "Vince's stalker at twelve o'clock." The other laughter too. Lucia StJames was an large girl with an very loud voice and loved attention, she had an very obvious one way crush on Vince.
"Okay lets race," Said T.J loudly, enough for Lucia to hear. He had to help out his best friend. "Ready, Steady...go."
All of they ran. T J, Vince and Spinelli being the more competitive went off ahead. T.J suddenly tripped over his own feet and fell forward on top of Vince and they both crash down on to the ground and rolled a couple of times.
"Are you two alright?" Asked Gretchen as she come up from behind. T.J and Vince untangle themself from each other.
"I think I hit my head..." Said T.J feeling an bump rising.
"I think I busted my ankle." Said Vince, he swore loudly "Coach is going to kill me, I'll got an game Saturday..."
"Sorry man," said T.J at once. He knew Vince would be gutted if he couldn't play his up coming game.
"Chill dude." Said Vince.
"How about you two make your way to the first aid cabin?" Asked Mikey sounding like a grown up.
Gus and Spinelli helped Vince back to his feet and helped him to the cabin. T.J followed behind with Mikey and Gretchen.
Half an hour later they were all drinking slushies. "It's only slightly twisted." Said Vince "It might heal in time, if not I'll have to sit this one out." Vince didn't sound too upset, but then again he had other games and competitions coming up.
"And my head is fine." Said T.J
"We all knew that," said Spinelli "It's not like you had anything inside it to damage anyway..."
"Ha ha ha, very funny...Ashley." Said T.J, he knew using Spinelli first name would be an angry response.
"Oh, are we calling each other by our first name now...Theodore Jasper?"
"Times like these I am glade that everyone calls me by my first name." Said Gretchen more to herself.
Spinelli, Gretchen, Gus and Mikey all went back to the pool for one last swim. "Hey Vince, can I talk to you... privately?" Asked T.J
Vince looked confused for an moment "Sure dude, where do you want to go?" They was other classmates near by, and they could easy overheard conversations.
T.J though for an moment "How about the woods near by?"
"Twisted ankle remember, I shouldn't be walking too much on it." Reminded Vince
"It's not that far," argued T.J "And we won't be going an long way in...and Lucia looking for you..."
Vince rolled his eyes and got to his feet "Fine, lets go."
They walked towards the woods, Vince hobbled an little on his injured ankle. "What's going on with you and Spinelli?" Asked T.J, once he was sure no was about. All was quite expect for some birds in the trees.
"What do you mean man?" Asked Vince sounding confused.
"You two are close right? I mean closer than you normally are, I mean closer than you used to be." Said T.J quickly not sure how to phase the question.
"We don't fancy each other T.J" said Vince at once, shanking his head in amusement at his best friend.
"Are you sure?" Asked T.J
"You fancy Spinelli don't you." Said Vince with an big grin.
"Maybe...so there nothing going on between you two?"
Vince shook his head "Look we just train together. I don't fancy Spinelli. Were is this coming from?"
"I think Spinelli may fancy you." Said T.J seriously. "I mean she listens to you and train with you, talks to you more than she talks to me..."
Vince laughed "You're crazy."
"I'm not crazy, if you fancy someone you know who they fancy... And Spinelli doesn't fancy me any more..."
"Look Detweiler, why don't you asked Spinelli out?"
"She'll punch me in the face." Said T.J rubbing his cheek at the very though of it. "Anyway LaSalle, if you don't fancy Spinelli who do you fancy?"
Vince paused for an slit second "There this girl at church, very quirky, a bit of an tomboy and very kind. I swear they'd isn't an film she hasn't seen."
T.J grinned "How come you never mention her... Come on man give me her name."
"Lisa-Rose." Said Vince with a silly grin "And before you say anything, I am planning on asking her out on an date."
Before T.J could say anymore he phone started to ring. "It's Spinelli," said T.J
"You're the first one she phone when she realise we weren't there." Said Vince.
"Shut it, LaSalle." Said T.J feeling himself going red. He answered the phone "Hey..." Vince started to do mocking kiss the air. T.J punched Vince to make him stop. "We got bored sitting around and we for an walk... We haven't got far...Vince's ankle is fine...well it isn't any worst..." Vince was still teasing T.J, so he trun his back on his friend and walked an little bit away though some overgrown roots, knowing Vince won't be able to follow him. "Are you worried about us?" T.J asked playfully "Look we just taking... Boy talk...yeh yeh yeh... We be back in time for the bus...see ya..." T.J hang up the phone and put it in his pocket, he walked back toward were he left Vince. He got to the small clearing to find it empty. "Okay man, come out..." All was quite "Vince dude act your age..." Still nothing "Vincent." He called out in hope he hear the yell of Theodore in return, but they was no reply.
T.J started to word an little, "Come on Vince, this isn't funny dude..." T.J looked behind the brushes and trees near by holding to catch his friend and hit him for his joke
But Vince was no where to be seen
