Chapter 2 – Swordfights and Crazy fans

Later After School Macy POV

"Bye Stells...gotta go...it's Wednesday...have to take care of the shop today... I'll call you later about the homework in Biology ok? " I said flipping down my phone and ending the call to Stella.

My mom owns an antique and curio shop two streets down from the JONAS firehouse called Misa's Pieces... We also live in the house right next to it so that we can keep an eye on the shop 24 hrs a day... It's just me and my mom now since my dad passed away two years ago, fighting in Iraq... So I helped out mom by taking care of the shop on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for about 3 or 4 hrs after school and had all team practices scheduled for the other days of the week...Oh yeah!...I haven't told you about that right?...I am somewhat a sports star in school...you see I captain the girls' softball and volleyball teams at school and also am part of the football, swim, golf and track teams... there aren't many sports i don't play... I just happen to love the feeling of being outdoors, involved in a physical activity and also kicking other teams' butts at everything isn't all that unpleasant. :)

As I was thinking through all this and walking down the hallway, I accidentally saw something out the window...Now I must tell you this, the hallway i was walking down is at the back of the school building, facing the inner courtyard and at this time of the day, it is almost always deserted. Kids usually hate hanging around at school after the day is out and leave as soon as they can. So it was quite unusual for anybody to be there at the courtyard at this point of time and i guess that's what caught my eye... Or maybe the fact that one of the two people in the yard was a certain JONAS... The other one, a huge and heavily muscled guy, was hulking menacingly close to Nick, who was looking like he was concentrating quite hard at not making any sudden movements... It started to look like the huge guy was threatening Nick and I looked around to see if there was anybody else around who was seeing this and could help Nick out.. I would've probably spent four or five seconds taking my eyes off the two figures in the courtyard and looking around but when i looked back, I only saw Nick and he was holding something long and shiny in his hands... almost like he was holding a sword or something... but that had to be the most ridiculous thing i have ever thought...right?... Whatever it was seemed to glow with a light of its own...just a soft glow... but it was definitely there... And before I could even gather my scattered thoughts together, Nick walked back towards the school building and started to leave. I ran down the steps of the school, making it seem like i had already left before him, in case he caught up with me.

"Hey Macy...wait up!..."

I turned, trying to act surprised at seeing him there...

"Nick!...What are you doing here?...I thought you guys would've left a long time ago...Stella left almost 20 minutes back "

"Yeah...I know...I had a song to finish up and i needed some space...So i thought i'd sit in the school music room and finish it... "

"Oh cool... So did you get it done?... "

"Not really...but its coming along pretty good... You'll be the first one to hear it when it gets done... " he said, flashing his half smile that always made me want to melt into a puddle of Macy-goo at his feet...

"Wow...Thanks... Its a great honor to be the first one to hear a new song of JONAS!.." i replied, injecting jus the right amount of enthusiasm for him to think that i had gone back to my crazy-fan mode... I needed time to think about what i had seen at school and i couldn't get my brain to work with Nick Lucas around.

Nick stiffened slightly as he caught the change in my voice and excused himself as quickly as possible, his feet already starting to walk in the opposite direction... I knew that Nick got really uncomfortable around fan-Macy and I knew that he would beat a hasty retreat if he felt the fan side of me coming forth even a little bit... A part of me was reluctant to make him go away just when he was starting to act friendly around me but the other part was bent upon sorting my thoughts out and that couldn't be done with the distracting presence of Nick Lucas of JONAS around…

At the JONAS Firehouse NPOV

"Hey mom…Where's everybody? " asked Nick, entering the house

"Hey sweetie…. How was school today? Joe and Kevin are at the gym in the basement… Frankie and your dad went to the park… You want anything to eat? "

"No thanks mom… I know you're making fried chicken for dinner along with your famous potato salad… So I don't wanna spoil my appetite… I'll just put my stuff upstairs and go train with the guys for a while.."

"Okay Nick.. Be careful"
