A/N: I've just finished "Freaks and Geeks" on Netflix and I loved it. It's a shame they never got a season 2 as I would have loved to see where the writers would have taken it. However I personally wanted a few things to happen so I'm going to do my best to write almost a season two (We'll see how it goes) of how I thought it should/would have continued.
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, I don't own Freaks and Geeks I was just inspired by the show and personally loved the pairing of Lindsay and Nick (Because how could you now want Jason Segel?)
Chapter One: What if's and Revelations
The last few days had been crazy, Lindsay couldn't believe this was happening to her! She couldn't believe that she had managed to convince her parents that she had actually gone to that academic summit, when in reality she was following 'The Grateful Dead' tour with Kim, Laurie and her friends.
They'd spent the last few days sleeping rough in Laurie's van, eating festival food, drinking and smoking pot. Lindsay had her reservations about the latter but she'd realised it was a lot different than the last time she'd tried it. She'd discovered that last time she'd rolled it kind of wrong and as Nick's dealer had said it had been strong. Besides this time, she wasn't doing it alone and she didn't have the worry that her parents would catch her.
'The Grateful Dead' had been just as amazing as they were on record all the times they'd seen them so far. Today, however they were just hanging out around their camp until it was time to travel to the next show. She was having a great time with Kim, a girl who hadn't exactly been her best friend at the start of the year. Lindsay was kind of surprised that Kim wasn't obsessing over Daniel and what he might be doing. If she was honest it was all she could think about when it came to Nick.
He'd met Sara now though and she had told him she was happy for him and okay, she was happy that he was happy but she couldn't help wishing that she was the reason she was happy. She couldn't help but feel that she'd made a huge mistake, by not telling him how she felt when she had the chance. She'd had plenty of chances; Like when Ken dragged her down to the Disco to ask if he was dating Sara to make her jealous.
The thing is Lindsay didn't think that was why, all of their friends did but Lindsay thought he'd genuinely found someone he loved and wanted to be with… and a part of her thought, good for him he deserves to be with someone who can make him happy… Lindsay was unsure if she herself, could do that. During the brief time they had dated, Lindsay had kind of felt awkward.
This was mainly because of how close Nick had tried to be and she was new to the dating world… Well she'd kind of dated other guys before but not as intensely as things had started out with Nick but after a while she'd felt like she could start to fall for him but it all went awry. Nick was her first real boyfriend but there had been other guys in the past, not that she could really count them.
She couldn't stop blaming herself because at the end of the day it was all her fault. It's not like the disco had been her only chance to tell him how she felt. There was the laser show for starters and she could have even told him after he ended things… she had known why, after all. It was because of what her mother had said and she could have explained to him that she had changed her mind since she and her mother had last spoke, since what he'd told her about what really happened between him and Heidi.
"What's eating you?" Kim asked, in that laid back trying not to show she really cares way. Lindsay sighed.
"Just thinking" Lindsay said. Kim smirked.
"Nick?" Kim asked, Lindsay smiled. It was amazing how well they knew each other after only being friends for a short period of time and Lindsey was proud to call Kim her best friend.
"That obvious, huh?" Lindsay asked.
"Kind of, yeah" Kim said. "Look, don't feel bad I'm the only one that knows… well aside from Daniel but Nick doesn't know, so there's that" Kim said, trying to make her feel better.
"I just can't stop thinking about him" Lindsay sighed, she ran her hands through her long brown hair and leaned back in her seat.
"You do realise, he'd dump Sara in an instant if he knew how you felt about him?" Kim asked, Lindsay shook her head.
"I don't want him to do that… what if I'm wrong, what if I only think I love him and then what? I break his heart all over again?" Lindsay asked. Kim sighed and gave Lindsey a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
"So, what? We're in High-School we're supposed to get things wrong. It's our right as teenagers! But what if you do like him? And you have to start next year watching him be happy with some Disco freak when you're the one he belongs with?" Kim asked, Lindsay was taken aback by how insightful Kim was being. She hadn't seen this side of her before.
"I just don't want him to get hurt and I certainly don't want to be the reason… we've only just managed to get to the 'Almost friends again' stage in our relationship" Lindsay pointed out.
"Okay, well let's just enjoy the rest of summer!" Kim suggested, knowing Lindsay didn't want to talk about Nick anymore and if she was honest she didn't either because then she'd start thinking about Daniel and she just didn't want to go there!
"I wonder what the girls are doing right now?" Nick said. He, Ken and Daniel were all hanging out in his basement... just like they always did, except now they didn't have his drum set.
"Nick, will you quit talking about the girls?" Daniel complained.
"I'm sorry... it's just I miss.." Nick started.
"We know, you miss Lindsay and you wish you'd had the chance to say goodbye and tell her that you and Sara broke up!" Ken said.
"Well, yeah" Nick sighed.
"I think it's time you moved on..." Daniel started to say when his new pager started to go off. "This must be Kim, she brought me one so we could keep in touch over the summer!" Daniel explained, as he checked the message.
"How'd she afford that?" Ken asked.
"I don't know, I guess she borrowed the money from somewhere" Daniel explained.
"Nick, can I use your phone... Kim says it's urgent" Daniel asked, after having seen her message.
"Sure, man" Nick said. Daniel went up the stairs to ring his girlfriend. He was almost relieved yet almost annoyed. He kept thinking it better be as urgent as she's saying it is.
"Kim, is that you?" Daniel asked, as he rung the payphone she'd told him to ring on.
"Yeah, listen Daniel. You have got to drive down to the next 'Grateful Dead' show and bring Nick. It's Lindsay, she still likes him but she's too stubborn to do anything about it" Kim said.
"I knew it, Okay where is the next show?" Daniel asked.
"I'll send you all the details on the pager... That was such a great idea, wasn't it?" Kim asked, sounding pleased with herself.
"Yeah, sure it was" Daniel said.
"I miss you, and I'll see you when you get here" Kim said as she hung up.
A/N: So that's it for now, let me know what you thought of it and I'll try my best to update as much as I can. I hope I did these characters justice. I haven't written in this particular arc before but I hope you like it anyway. Leave me a review if you did. Thank you for reading.
