Nick's POV

I sighed, stopping at a red light, and tired of everyone fighting. Okay, it was mainly between Sam, Danny, and Tuck, but still. Well… I know one way to get them to stop fighting. A bunch of rowdy guys were in a topless Eclipse next to us. I smirked and revved the engine.

The guys looked over, and I locked eyes with the driver, revving the engine again.

"Uh… Nikki? What are you doing?" Danny asked, but I didn't answer. A slow smile had crept onto the other driver's face. The only confirmation that he accepted the unspoken challenge. I turned and looked at the light, my eyes set.

"Oh~" Alex started. The light turned green, I stomped on the gas, and the Mustang shot forward. "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!" He screamed. I laughed like a maniac.

So fun.

"OH MY GOD!!!!" Tucker yelled from where he had his arms gripped around Alex, who had… his… arms gripped around Tuck.

Danny was yelling at me. But his words were whipped out his open window. I glanced in the review mirror and saw that the Eclipse was right on our ass, and I couldn't help but get more determined.

"OH SHIT!!!" Danny's voice yelled as we shot towards an intersection. I didn't see what color the light was, but cars were already crossing, perpendicular to us. I knew I could make it though.

Heh… even more fun. And you know what? I got Danny, Sam, and Tuck to stop fighting.

Yay me!

"You are NEVER driving my car AGAIN!" Danny yelled, snatching the keys out of my hand as we got out of the car in the mall parking lot. I smiled innocently.

"It didn't take any damage!" I pointed out.

"YOU ALMOST GOT US KILLED!!!!" Tucker yelled. I smiled at him, but before I could say anything else, Sam said;

"See Tuck! That proves it! You grabbed Alex instead of me or Nikki!" I had suppress a laugh at Alex's face.

"Geez, Tuck, I knew you always wanted to lean the other way when the car turned, but why grab Alex? He's not THAT good looking." Danny just had to play along. I bit my lower lip, trying not to start crying from holding the laughter in.

If only they knew…

I smiled and walked over, slinging my arm over Alex's shoulders. "Now, see here, you guys. It's only their messed up hormones effecting them! They were born with it!" Then I glared at Tucker. "But if you hurt my little Ally-poo, I will snap your head off and shove it up your ass." I couldn't help it, I had to laugh, so I turned it into a bubbly giggle, you know, to keep the charade up. "Okay?"

"Nick…" Alex growled.

"Don't worry, he won't hurt you." I pecked Alex's blood red cheek, doing all but shaking with laughter. Alex suddenly screamed in anger, ducked from beneath my arm, and went after me. I laughed and ran towards the mall.

"I WILL KILL YOU NIKKI SKYRISA HIGHWIND!!!" He screamed. I skidded to a stop and turned. Alex managed to truly piss me off. He stopped then too, knowing it, and a triumphant smirk playing on… his lips.

"Don't you ever… EVER call me by my first name!" I screamed, and threw myself at him.

Danny and Tucker were forced to pull us apart, Tucker grabbing Alex around the waist, and Danny grabbing my arms.

"I'm sorry, Nick, but you asked for it!" Alex yelled from where Tucker was holding him back, standing behind him, and keeping his arms locked around Alex's waist, as Alex leaned forward, trying to get free.

Now imagine, if you will, two guys you know doing that.

Get it?

The tension broke then, And I had to slap my hand over my mouth to keep from laughing to hard. All the guys looked REALLY confused, and Sam picked up on it instantly, saying;

"Wow, Tuck, getting a little bold there?"

I snorted, as Alex turned beet red. Tucker immediately let go of him. I tried to pull out of Danny's grip again, and it felt as though my arms were drenched in ice water. I didn't even feel him let go, but when I looked again, I was free. I blinked, a bit confused, but then shook my head and turned back to where both Tucker and Alex were both yelling at Sam to shut up, who was laughing her ass off.

This was going to be interesting…

444

Okay, you'd probably never tell by looking at me, but I'm REALLY big into extreme sports…

…Okay, you probably could. But I'd never think Sam was. Me and her were in one of the multiple sports stores in the big mall, while the 'men' were in the Cyber Café the next store over.

"So… what's going on between you and Alex?" She asked, sounding as though our relationship truly confused her.

"Heh, were just best friends." I smiled and shrugged. "We're just extremely skilled at getting under each other's skin. Sh~ I mean… he really knows what pisses me off, and I know how to get him really worked up." We both laughed, and I was a bit relieved that I caught myself.

You're probably wondering what I'm talking about, right?

Well… just keep reading and find out!

Just then, there was multiple screams from outside of the store. We ran out and saw this weird… green… floaty robot type thingy coming out of the Cyber Café, holding a white haird, green eyed boy, who was wearing a dorky looking spandex outfit, by the neck.

Can we say uncomfortable?

"Nikki!" I was suddenly tackled by Alex, who screamed like the girl he was when the Weird Floaty Thingy (known, from know on, as WFT) held up one of his… its… WHATEVER GENDER IT WAS! arms, and a gun like thing popped out. It was aimed right at us.

"No!" The boy yelled, rearing back his left hand and punching the WFT in the face. There was a dull clang, and a loud crunch when the boy's fist connected with it face, and the WFT dropped him. The crunch hadn't come from the WFT's nose breaking though.

The boy howled in pain and hopped around, clutching his left hand. The WFT then turned to him with a smirk and pointed the gun at him.

Without thinking, I screamed "NO!", and ran forward, leapt into the air, and tried to tackle the thing. I think it saw me coming though, for it suddenly went see through, and I went right through it.

OH MY FUCKING GOD THAT WAS FUCKING COLD!

I felt as though I just fell into a freaking pool full of icy cold water!

Well, when I went through the thing, that put me right on track to hitting the boy, who didn't move out of the way fast enough.

I flew right into him, and we both skid across the dusty mall floor, me on top.

Another thing? When we slammed into the rocks surrounding the pond, our lips met.

Yep, I accidentally kissed this boy who I had NO CLUE WHO HE WAS in the middle of the mall.

And apparently, he was bad news, for the WFT came over, picked my up by the back of my jacket, and threw me clear across the pond and into one of the store displays.

Thankfully, this one wasn't separated from the rest of the mall by glass, or anything else for that matter.

But still… um… ow?

"I am Skulker! The Ghost Zones greatest hunter! I will not be bested by a mere, weak human." He scoffed at me. My eye twitched at the word weak, but my whole body ached, so I couldn't even move.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" The white haired guy suddenly yelled.

Oh pleasepleasePLEASE don't tell me he developed a crush on me cause of one accidental kiss.

"Nick, you okay? Say something!" Sam ran over to me, just as I realized which store display I had flown into.

"Oh my god… is this Hollister!?" I demanded, disgust clear in my voice. I'm sorry, but I'm more of a Hot Topic type of gal, thank you. Sam chuckled and pulled me out of the case.

"Um… so do any of you know what's going on?" Alex demanded, coming over to join us, Tucker following.

"You mean OTHER then Nick kissing that white haired dude?" Tucker laughed, earning a hard punch from me.

"Where's Danny!?" Sam demanded, grabbing the front of Alex's shirt and pulling him closer so that they were nose to nose.

"Um, uh… He went to go get something to drink from the food court!" He said, wide-eyed from the prospect that Sam might kill him.

"Wait, you three were in a Cyber Café. Didn't they have drinks there?" I asked, rolling my shoulder till it popped, then doing the other.

"Yeah, but he said that they had nothing he liked." Tucker said.

"Oh."

I turned to see if the kid was in trouble, and saw the WFT on the ground, the arm of the suit ripped off. The boy then pulled out a weird… was that a soup thermos?

Honestly, what was he going to do next, offer us a nice cup of hot coffee? Geez things were getting stupid. I watched as he twisted the top off and pointed it at the WFT.

It was empty…

Or… not? A brilliant blue light shot out and enveloped the WFT, sucking him in. The boy quickly capped the thermos and looked up at us.

"Um… See ya!" He suddenly shot away.

I blinked.

"Okay, what the hell just happened!?" Alex demanded.

444

"I'm telling you, that white haired kid suddenly appeared in the food court, looking worried, and told me to take cover!" Danny said, for the third time, when Sam, again demanded where he was as we went up the escalator. His eyes slid over, met mine, and he turned a slight ting of pink.

Um… okay?

"Did you see where he went after he disappeared? I bet Nikki wanted to smooch him again." Tucker laughed. Was it just me, or did Danny turn a bit red again. I think I was the only one who noticed.

"Look, gay wad. One, call me Nikki again, and they'll have to surgically remove my boot from your ass. It's Nick. Just Nick. Second of all, the kiss was an accident. I wasn't thinking when I tried to tackle that Weird Floaty Thingy, and didn't realize that he could go all see throughy." I growled, turning my attention to the techno-geek. He just smiled at me. Alex sighed and turned his attention to the people going down on the other escalator.

"It was a... um… ghost." Danny said.

"Ghost." I repeated. Then sighed. "I think I finally gone off the deep end. I won't be surprised if I start to have a voice in my head."[1]

That earned a couple of laughs.

444

Well, the rest of the day was pretty uneventful. We all ragged on sDanny and Sam, and Tucker and Alex. I noticed though, that whenever someone mentioned the earlier incident having to do with me and White-Haired Wonder, [2] (also now known as 'Inviso-Bill'… Heh…) Danny would blush and go silent. I think Sam might have noticed it, I dunno.

But whatever.

Twilight: Hm… [1] - Max's voice in her head (Maximum Ride series) and [2] Fang's "Red-Haired Wonder" from Maximum Ride; School's Out - Forever. I just changed it slightly from 'Red-Haired Wonder' to 'White-Haired Wonder', 'cause it fit.

Nick: Okay, let's see… two Maximum Ride references… and my inner thoughts are taking on a slightly Max-like edge. You've been reading Maximum Ride again, haven't you?

Twilight: --shift eyes-- Maybe.

Nick: Oh great. Don't be surprised if she turns me into a human-avian hybrid, people!

Twilight: --rolls eyes-- No, that'd be going to far. BTW, Fall, two things! 2,025 Words, and your turn! : )
