Derek Morgan has only cried a handful of times in his life. He was fighting like hell for this to be not one of those times.

Derek took one look at his destroyed bike, and was rendered utterly speechless.

This is the same motorcycle he took when he finally confessed to Penelope how he really felt about her. This was the bike that Derek took Penelope on the night he proposed.

Derek took a deep breath and asked, "Who did this?"

Jasmin took a cautious step towards her father, and said "Dad I-"

Dylan sighed and said, "Dad I am so sorry. I wanted to show Lindsay your bike. I guess I got too excited and it crashed into the wall."

Derek sighed and said, "Dylan Aaron Morgan how could you?

Derek crinkled his nose just like his mother does and said, "Dad I know and I am so sorry."

Jasmin stared at her little brother. She thought to herself, "I can't let him do this. Well maybe I can….. No I can't.

Jasmin sighed and said, "Dad I-"

Dylan talked over his big sister. Dylan whinced and said, "Dad I know what I did was stupid, and I am prepared to deal with the consequences."

Dylan I am not sure what to say to you. And when your mother finds out God help you."

Dylan shuddered. In the Morgan household if dad is mad at you might be able to scrape by, but if mom is mad you better pray to god that you get to stay on the grid.

Dylan said, "I know dad. I know."

Jasmin was baffled. She thought to herself, "Why is he doing this?"

"Dylan get in the house, go to your room. I want you to get your ipod, your ipad, your laptop and anything else that isn't necessary. That includes your phone."

Derek rubbed his head and continued, "Dylan I am not even that mad about the bike. What if you had gotten hurt. What if you had hurt Lindsay?"

Derek sighed and said, "Plus what kind of friend ditches their friend like that?"

Dad I am so sorry. " I will get a job and pay you back."

Derek through gritted teeth said, "Damn straight. Now go to your room and do what I said."

Derek took a long at his crushed bike, shook his head and headed in the house.

Jasmin still stood in the garage dumbfounded. Then she realized, that Dylan was becoming more and more like their father.

Jasmin waited until the coast was clear, and headed in the house. The guilty feeling she had weighed her shoulders down, and left a twinge of pain in her stomach. Her normally bright golden eyes, were darkened with sadness.

Jasmin knocked quietly on her brother's door.

Dylan mumbled, "Yeah come in Jazz."

A confused Jasmin asked, "Dylan why? Why did you do that for me?

"All you have talked about all year is prom and homecoming. What kind of brother would I be if you couldn't go?"

Jasmin in a weak voice said, "Dylan even if I went I wouldn't have any fun. I can't knowing that you are suffering because of me. I know since we have gotten older we haven't been that close.

"Tell me about it. All you care about is your friends, and that loser across the street."

"Dill I still can't-"

With a tone of conviction Dylan said, "Yes you can."

"I don't want to. I want you to be able to go to the skate park."

"Eventually I will be able to."

"Dill I am going to tell mom and dad the truth."

Dylan begged, "Go to the dance for me please."

Jasmin sighed and said, "Okay. But you have to let me repay you."

"We'll see. Now help me unplug my laptop."

With a faint smile Jasmin said, "Anything for you bro."

Penelope boomed, "Dylan Aaron Morgan get down here immediately."

Dylan cringed and said, "Time to face the rents."

"Dylan I changed my mind I can't let you-"

"Coming mom. Yes you can. Wear the dress dad said over my dead body to. Have fun for me."

Jasmin gave her little brother a hug, and made her way to her bedroom. She looked in the mirror and decided no way in hell she was letting her brother take the fall.

Jasmin picked up her cell phone and sent a text to Scott.

To Scottie P's phone: "If you like me like you say you do, come over here, and help me explain this mess to my dad."

To Jazzie M's phone: "Even tho he might 187 me, I will be there. Give me a sec."

To Scottie P's phone: "Thank you."

To Jazzie M's phone: :)

Jasmin could hear her mother and father yell at Dylan. They threatened him, and were within an inch of reading him his Miranda rights.

Dylan looked from his father to his mother. He knew they were pissed, and he knew that Jasmin deserved to get to go to the dance. Jasmin had taken the fall for him a bunch of times. Then his dad did the one thing he prayed he wouldn't do.

Derek grounded out, "Dylan give me your skateboard."

Dylan begged his dad saying, "Dad please."

"Go get it."

Dylan sighed and said, "Okay."

Dylan jogged up the stairs sat on his bed, and said a silent prayer that he would get his board back soon.

Dylan heard the doorbell ring. He heard shuffling downstairs Then he heard Derek boom, "Oh really."

Dylan knew Jazz came clean.

Penelope knocked lightly on Dylan's door.

Penelope whispered,"May I come in?"

Dylan said, "Sure Ma."

"Dylan you already know what I am going to ask."

Dylan replied, "I did it because I wanted her to be able to go to the dance."

With an understanding tone Penelope said, "Oh honey. You are every bit the knight your father is, but you shouldn't have done that."

"I know Ma, but Jazz has talked about this stupid dance since the beginning of the year."

"Yes, but your sister also messed up. First she had a boy over here without your father's or my knowledge, and second it goes without saying you two should not touch a vehicle until you are old enough to drive."

"I know Ma."

"I am proud of you for wanting to fix it for her. I am lucky that my children are close. Yeah you two have your knock out drag down fights but you support each other."

Dylan said, "Yeah we do. Hey you remember that time that Tyler Cranson punched me."

"How can I forget? Your sister punched him so hard, he temporarily forgot his name."

Both Dylan and Penelope chuckled.

"See that is why I did it. Jazz is always doing stuff like that for me."

Penelope sighed heavily and said, "You are making this tough."

Dylan with a quizzical tone said, "What?"

Penelope chuckled and said, "Me being mad at your sister."

"Will you two at least think about letting her go. Please."

"Dylan when you give me those puppy dog eyes it's hard to tell you no, but I still need to talk to your father."

Dylan put his arm around his mother's neck and said, "Okay mom."

Penelope smiled and said, "Dylan Aaron Morgan I love you."

Dylan pulled his mom in for a hug and said, "Ma I love you too."

There will be a part three.
