Nothing Goes As Planned

Summary: For so many years, Spencer has wanted Emma Drake. Now that he has her, he's beginning to see that it's not all it's cracked up to be. Especially as he starts noticing his best friend, Jocelyn more.

Author's Note: This is basically what I think will happen in the future when Spence, Emma, Jocelyn, and Cam are teenagers. Especially since Jocelyn and Spencer are becoming friends.

Part One

"So what do you say, Emma? Will you go out with me?" He smiled hopefully, eyes bright as he looked at the brunette before him.

She smiled at him, nodding gently. "I'd love to." She answered, pushing her brown hair away from her face. "How about Friday? You can pick me up at about eight?"

Spencer nodded, watching as the brunette walked off to go meet her friends. Once she was out of his line of sight, he ran to the soccer field where he knew Jocelyn would be, wanting to tell her the good news. He spotted his best friend immediatly. Her long blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail, long tanned legs encased in her blue shorts. "Joss!" He shouted, waving his arms and hurrying toward her.

The blonde glanced up, giving him a grin, saying goodbye to her team mates and friends before walking toward him. "What's got you in such a good mood Prince Cassadine?" She asked playfully, smirking as the nickname rewarded her with a roll of dark eyes.

"I asked Emma out." He answered her earlier question, unable to stop the smile from blooming on his face once more.

If he'd have been paying attention, he'd have seen the smile wilt from his friend's full, pink lips before she composed herself and pasted a happy grin back upon her lips. "That's great!" She replied, looking away from him. "Um...look, I've got to go and take a shower. Why don't you talk to me about it later?" She didn't wait for an answer as she went to her car and began to drive home. It shouldn't have surprised her. Spencer had had a crush on Emma Drake since they were eight years old. It was something she'd always found a tad bit annoying, though he'd lightened up on singing her praises throughout the years. Still though, she was admittedly disappointed. Sighing, she entered the house, yelling out a quick hello to her mother before hurrying to her room, stripping off her clothes and putting them in the hamper before going to her bathroom. She turned the water on in the tub and plugged it up, pouring in some of her bubblebath. She let loose her blonde hair, letting it tumble down to her chest before climbing into the bath.

She awakened about twenty minutes later to the sound of her mother knocking on the door.

"Jocelyn? Are you okay in there?" Carly asked worriedly.

"Um...I'm fine. I just have to wash my hair and then I'll be down." The teen answered, unplugging the tub as she turned on the shower.

"Well, Cameron called and said that he was coming over. I figured that I should tell you. I'm going to call and order a couple of pizzas and then I have to head into work." The older woman said before walking back to her room to finish getting ready.

Jocelyn headed down stairs, hair freshly washed and brushed, clothed in a long, teal tee-shirt and a pair of tiny cotton shorts.

"Are you okay, Jocelyn? You were in the bathroom for a long time." Carly walked toward her daughter, brushing the hair away from her little girl's face to look into those blue-green eyes.

The girl nodded. "I'm fine." She told her.

Carly smiled, kissing the top of her head. "Well, pizza should be here for you in twenty minutes. I've got to get going. See you later tonight, okay baby?"

"Why are you smiling so much?" Cameron asked his stepbrother, raising an eyebrow and watching as the other boy rifled through his huge closet.

In reply, Spencer's smile widened, flashing his dimples. "I asked Emma out and she said yes." He answered, bouncing on the balls of his feet, not at all worried about what Cam's reaction might be. The other boy had gotten over Emma long ago.

"When?" Cam asked, leaning against the doorway and staring at the other boy curiously.

"Friday. I'm supposed to pick her up at eight."

At the answer, Cam's brows furrowed. "Friday? Isn't that usually your movie night with Joss?" He wondered.

Spencer shrugged. "I told her about it. She didn't seem upset, she understands how important this is to me." And with that, his attention focuses back on finding the right outfit.

Cam swallowed hard as he went to his room to pack an overnight bag. Something told him that Jocelyn probably needed some company.

Cameron let himself into the home with ease, walking into the foyer and peering into the living room where his friend sat on the couch, head buried in her book.

"Jocelyn?" He questioned quietly, causing her to glance up at him.

She grinned at him, showing off her straight, white teeth. "Hey Cam. My mom told me you'd be here, soon. Pizza will be here in a few minutes. Wanna set down?"

Cam nodded and walked to the couch, taking the seat beside of her.

"So, Spencer told me that he asked Emma out today." He said, studying the girl closely. He knew all about her feelings for Spencer. She'd confessed as much to him. He'd always thought Spencer and Jocelyn would be good together. They were close and had been friends for so long and such a bond, it made Cameron a bit...envious. Sure, he and Jocelyn were friends, but they were nowhere near as close as those two were, so dedicated to one another.

Jocelyn nodded solemnly. "I'm happy for him. He's only wanted Emma since we were like, eight. It's great that they're finally going to date." She tried to smile but it didn't quite reach her eyes and she thanked the heavens when the doorbell rang, signaling that the pizza was here, just as Cam had opened his mouth to speak once more.

Spencer frowned a bit as he stared at his phone. It was strange. Jocelyn had told him she'd speak with him after while but she had yet to call. He'd tried calling her, but her cellphone was off and she wasn't picking up the house phone. It was so unlike his best friend to not talk to him and he couldn't help but wonder what he'd done. She'd been fine earlier that day hadn't she? He hadn't missed anything? He shook his head. Of course not. If something had been bothering him, she surely would've told him. Shrugging, he decided he'd question her tomorrow. Perhaps she'd just fallen asleep early.

To be continued: Spencer is a bit jealous after witnessing Cam and Jocelyn hug. Spencer and Emma go on their date and Cam and Jocelyn have their movie night.
