Aj POV

"Nikolas, what are you doing here?" Elizabeth asked as Nikolas Cassidine approached us. From what I could remember Nikolas, Emily, and Elizabeth had been really good friends, and from what I heard Nikolas left town a few years ago to go who knows where doing who knows what.

"I decided to come to town for the Nurse's ball to honor Robin, it's good to see you" he explained. "You too" Elizabeth muttered in return.

"I heard you were alive" he said glaring at me. "Yeah, well there wasn't any huge welcome back party but I guess word gets around" I said wondering why Nikolas seemed so angry at me, what ever happened to forgive and forget?

"I better go say hi to Alexis, I'll see you all later" Nikolas said walking away. "Bye" Elizabeth said quietly watching him walk away.

"Was it just me, or did he seem a little... unhappy?" I questioned Elizabeth once Nikolas was out of sight. "Sorry" she replied. "Hey, no need for an apology it wasn't the worst welcoming I got, plus Nikolas and you go way back, from what I remember you, him, Lucky, and Em were real close he's probably a little protective over you" I reasoned.

"Nikolas and I, we're not just friends" Elizabeth admitted. "What do you mean?" I replied. "Aj, there's something you should know about Nikolas and me"

Sam POV

"Hello Sam" said John McBain as he walked over to me. "What, what are you doing here?" I asked slowly.

"smooth" Carly whispered to me. "shut up" I ordered. "I didn't say anything" John said confused. "No, not you, Carly" I corrected myself.

"John" Carly said blankly. "Carly" he replied acknowledging her presence. "You kids have fun" Carly said smirking at me before walking away.

"So what are you doing here" I repeated. "I finished up that case with the FBI, so I'm back in town and I thought I'd come and check out this Nurse's Ball thing" John explained.

"Oh" was all I could say before, luckily, Nikolas saved me. "Sam" he said approaching me. "Hey Nikolas, I didn't know you were in town" I said glad for the distraction from John.

"I just flew in today, who's this?" he said motioning twords John. "Oh right, um Nikolas this is detective John McBain, John this is my cousin Nikolas Cassidine" I introduced them.

They shook hands "Cassidine, I've heard a lot about your family" John said. "We're a popular bunch" Nikolas explained. "That's one way to put it" John replied.

"Well I better be going, see you later Sam" John said before walking away.

"What was that about?" Nikolas asked once John was gone. "What was what about?" I replied innocently. "You and that guy, is there something going on between you guys?".

"It's complicated" I replied.

"Alright, well come on let's get inside the party is just beginning"

Todd POV

"Please make it stop!" I complained after the 50th verse of "Connie's Back".

"Connie's Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack"

This time when the group finished the song Connie said "Sorry Folks, but that's it for tonight don't forget to buy your free Connie's Back T-shirts, mugs, and bulletproof vest, for only $19.99" Connie said causing everyone to cheer, mostly because she was done singing.

I looked over to see Brenda standing up "Where are you going?" I asked her.

"I'm going to buy one of those bullet-proof vest, if I know anything about Port Charles it's that no event ends with out someone being shot "she replied.

"Whatever, just don't charge it to me" I ordered. "Todd you're forgetting something, we're a "couple", so your money is my money, and my money is my money" she instructed before walking away.

I rolled my eyes and muttered "Your money is my money and blah, blah, blah" in my best Brenda voice. "Um, Todd" said someone behind me tapping on my shoulder. I turned around "Oh hey Ickle" I addressed him.

"It's Michael" he corrected me.

"I'm sure it is, what do you want?" I questioned him. "Uh, I was just wondering since your back, and John's back if you~"

"Ew John's back, great job mickey you just ruined my mood" I said cutting him off.

"It's uh Michael, and I was just wondering if you knew when Starr is coming back" he asked nervously. "Why would I know that?" I replied.

"Well, your her father, and you were the one who dropped her off in L.A., so I just thought~"

"Well here's a suggestion, don't. thinking doesn't seem to work well for you. Listen Mitchell or Mathew or whatever your name is, I don't like you, and I certainly don't like you with my daughter. The only reason I let you two be together is out of respect to your mom, so why don't you go send her a Thank You card and stop worrying about when Starr's coming back" I instructed him.

"Look I~"

"I didn't ask you to respond, why don't you just run along and buy one of those Connie bullet-proof vest, you might need it" I warned him before ushering him off before he could bore me anymore.

Carly POV

"Sonny" Connie yelled as she eagerly ran into his arms. "Connie, it's good to see you" he replied.

"I'm pretty sure you're the only one here who can say that" I muttered to Sonny.

"Uhg what's that doing here" Connie asked Sonny.

" Well, If you don't shut your mouth 'That', will be shutting it for you" I warned her shooting her a death glare. "Carly, relax" Sonny said to me calmly.

"You know what, I'm not even going to try, I have a conversation to finish" I replied turning to leave. "Don't forget to buy a Connie t-shirt" Connie said smirking. I chose not to reply.

"Todd, we need to talk" I said walking over to Todd, looking to make sure Brenda was out of sight.

"Yah, we do" he replied softly.

"I~" before I could finish, or even begin I was cut off by loud gunshots
