Christina Aguilera: Keeps Gettin Better

Three Months Later

Casey was walking out of a Senate building in downtown Washington D.C. She couldn't believe all the things in her life that changed so quickly. First she got back with Cappie after a two year break up, then when she got to the ZBZ house Frannie announces that she's coming up with her own sorority, then Rebecca Logan decided to join stupid Frannie's Sorority saying something about certain ZBZ's never having time for anything but their selves.

And if that wasn't bad enough, she kept imagining that she saw Max everywhere, which isn't possible right, I mean he's in California doing summer school, isn't he? She shook her head as she got a text from Ashleigh.

She flipped open her phone and read it "Greetings from Miami, sent you a post card, see u soon Ash" Casey smiled, that girl never stayed home during the summer. She was kind of worried for her friend though. She knew exactly what it was like to go up against Frannie one on one at full force, but she knew that as long as Ashleigh had the support of her fellow sisters she could take Frannie down.

Casey was waiting outside for Paula who had insisted that she stayed with her at her family's house in Washington instead of a hotel where the rest of the interns stayed. Casey was grateful especially for the home cooked meals she received, and on the weekends Paula showed her around the capital city and Casey took loads of pictures of it.

Paula came out and put on her shades and sun hat. "Whew, this heat is almost unbearable" she said looking at Casey who smiled "Ready to go kiddo" she asked Casey nodded. They walked to the car and got inside, Paula immediately turned on the air conditioner. Casey was thankful for the cool air coming through, Washington was a beautiful city, but it sure was hot here.

"So are you excited to be going back to school soon" Paula asked. This was Casey's last day interning for Paula. "I guess" Paula glanced over at the young woman she had grown to like and admire. "You guess"

Casey sighed "Well before I left things got a little crazy and now we have to deal with all of that going back" Paula nodded "That Frannie girl" she asked Casey had told her about Frannie and her plans for a new sorority.

"Among other things" she said "Well I'm going to miss having you here" Paula said sincerely "I'm going to miss being here" said Casey voicing her thoughts. At least there was no drama, no worries, and most of all no Frannie. But then again there was no Ashleigh and no matter how much she hated to admit it there was no Rusty and even more there was no Cappie, well technically.

Cappie, Wade and Beaver rented a house down near Virginia Beach for the final two weeks of summer, he was supposed to pick her up later on tonight and they were going to spend the final week of summer together before heading back to school.

As they arrived at Paula's house in a part of the city called Georgetown, Casey saw the object of her affection sitting on the steps on Paula's front porch. "Is that the young gentleman you were telling me about Casey" asked Paula Casey smiled shocked "Yeah, but I didn't think he'd be here this fast. Casey got out of the car and walked over to him and he stood up.

"Cappie what are you doing here this early" Cappie smiled at her and pulled her into a hug "I missed you Case" Her heart starting beating rapidly in her chest, it'd always do that when he was around. He pulled back to look at her "I missed you too" she said. Paula gazed at them with a distant look in her eyes, young love, she knew it well.

"How long have you been here" Casey asked, "Uh…a while" Cappie answered smiling. Casey smirked, she looked so cute when she did that he thought "How long is a while" Cappie smiled "about four hours" Casey laughed. Paula walked over to them "Well why don't you come in for dinner then" She asked him "Oh I don't want to impose"

"Nonsense, it's good to finally meet the guy whom I've been hearing so much about this summer" Cappie smirked down at Casey "So you've been talking about me eh?" Casey smacked him lightly "Yeah……..don't let it go to your big head though?" Cappie laughed lightly, before getting an innocent look on his face "Would I ever"

After they went inside and had dinner with Paula and her husband Casey and Cappie went upstairs to finish her packing. He was sitting on the bed in her room looking at a photo of the two of them they took before they left for summer break. Then he glanced over and saw a picture of Rusty and Jen K.

"Hey Case" he asked, "yeah" she answered stuffing the last of her shirts into a small travel bag she bought this summer. "Why do you have a picture of Rusty and Jen K" he asked "Oh, because it's the only photo he's actually smiling in, back home he would always be doing something else when the camera would flash, it actually made for a good looking picture"

"Ah, well he did look happy" Cappie stated "Yea she really did a number on my brother, I hope he'll find somebody else soon" Casey said feeling a little sad for Rusty. Cappie got up off the bed and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "He will Case, there's somebody out there for everyone" Casey smiled up at him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You think so eh……so who's the one for you" she asked him smirking" Cappie smiled and pecked her on the lips softly "I'm looking at her" she smiled, she loved spending time with Cappie, he would make her forget all about Greek life, and the disaster they were about to encounter at the ZBZ house and all of her problems in general. Maybe because with Cappie she could just be herself.

"Now, we've got to hit the road Case, because if I'm right, which I usually am about these things Wade and Beaver should just about to be starting the party in your honor" Casey looked at him "In my honor" she asked

"But of course, you've been working all summer, time to relieve some stress, and what better way to do that then hours of endless fun" She kissed him "I love you" she said. He smiled and kissed her again "I love you too, always have, always will"

A couple hundred miles away Frannie Morgan President of the newly built, newly chartered Iota Kappa Iota Sorority was talking with two of her sisters, who last semester walked out with her of the ZBZ house. "So any new potential" she asked, Frannie had to get started early if she was going to crush the ZBZ house.

"No, not that I know of" said a blonde haired pretty girl. Frannie looked toward the other girl who just in turn shook her head. "Well, there is a new girl incoming freshman, pre-med, her fathers a famous actor, you know the guy that plays in all of those Bond movies "Oh my gosh, Frannie are you serious" asked the blonde

"Yep, she'll be way better than having a senators daughter, even though we have that too anyway" The girls all smirked "Now I need one of you two to find out her full name I only have her first, I want her to come to our house first, before those ZBZ's can see her.

The girls nodded "Alright now move along, I have a meeting to get too" said Frannie, the girls left and she flipped open her phone "Yes sweety they are so going down" She smirked as she walked out the door.
