" I hate it!" Said Sarah sounding repulsed looking in the mirror.

"Its kind of cute." Jade replied looking at the dress Sarah had on.

They had been shopping for dresses for almost three hours and had found nothing they liked.

"We are going back to L.A.!" Said Jade Putting the dresses she had been holding back, "Suburbia isn't cutting it."

Jade made a call to her a friend who owned a store they both loved in west Beverly Hills. She had met Sky at a Hapikdo class she had taken a few years before. She agreed to open the store after hours concidering the "Emergency" at hand.

"Girls!!" Sky shouted and opened her arm wide for hugs. Her spiked purple and blue hair was little shorter then they had remembered.

"Hey sky!" Jade said giving her a hug.

"You have NO idea how much we missed you!" said Sarah also hugging her.

"Well ladies, I had everything I knew you would love pulled aside for you." Sky said pointing at the racks and racks of clothes she had been saving for the girls over the last few months.

"I like this one" said Sarah walking out of the dressing room.

"You have to love it!" Sky said. "If you don't LOVE it don't wear it!" Sky often said this. She had named her store Love and Gummi Bears.

"I love this!!" Jade said standing in front of the mirrors. She was wearing a short black dress. The top was a tight smooth corset that went just over her hips. Out of the bottom came layers of sheer black fabric. On the front of the right side it was pulled up to the corset and fastened with a beautiful hot pink flower. She deffinatly filled it out well.

"You look like a slutty gothic version of Tinker Bell!" Said Sky affectionatley.

"I am SO wearing this!" Sarah yelled and walked out.

She was wearing a tight halter dress. It had black and white horizontal stripes. The straps were black. At the bottom was slightly torn looking black fabric. Beneath the stripes you could faintly see sculls.

"That is beyond you!" Jade said .

"You look like a pirate's whore." Sky said exstactic. "So ladies, Thai or Indian food?"

Sarah and Jade drove back late that night with a trunk and a backseat full of clothes. Their parents gave them a very large allowance depending on their grades. Jade had a perfect 4.0. Sarah did pretty well.

The three sisters did well at almost anything they had ever tried. Jade was an artist. She thrived in photography, theater, drawing. She was a born preformer. She got the lead in every school play and loved the attention. Sarah was the jock of the family. Hockey, Baseball, basketball, football, swimming and track would all be on her college applications. Brooke was in ballet. She loved horses, and had won several tittles.

"Do you like Colt?" Jade asked breaking the silence.

"He is my friend." Sarah replied simply.

"That isn't what I asked." Jade said. She knew her sister.

"He's my friend. Thats it. Anyway he made it very clear when he asked me to homecoming thats all we are. It wouldn't matter any way." Sarah said gazing out the window. "Just friends. Nothing more nothing less."

Homecoming arrived quickly.

"Sarah calm down let me see." The girl's mother said. She had the same sweet angelic looks that Brooke had. Jade and Sarah looked more like their father.

"I wish he was here." Jade said as she watched her mom try to fix Sarah's hair. It was another thing the girls had is common with the Douglas boys: their dads worked a lot.

"I know baby, but he had to be in New York today. He wanted to be here so bad, but he just couldn't." Their mom said sighing.

Their dad worked hard to give them the lifestyle the had and they new it. It still didn't make it any easier when their dad missed a performance or game.

"The limos are here, so are they guys." Brooke yelled from down stairs. Brooke and Tum Tum had decided to have a movie night. They were both sitting in the living room in their P.J.s.

"Ok girls," their mom started.

"I know, I know, Cerfews at 11." Sarah said cutting her off.

"Actually, what I was going to say was, Have fun Be back by 1."

"Thank you mom." Jade said kissing her mom on the cheek.

"Love you ma" Sarah said.

Colt and rocky were waiting at the bottom of the stairs for their dates. They looked up as Jade started decending the staircase.

'She's perfect.' Rocky thought to himself as Jade approached him. She had her hair pulled back with a flower matching the one on her dress.

"Ready?" She asked and off they went.

Sarah came next running late as usual.

Colt looked up at her as she walked down the stairs. She had her hair up in a delibratly messy bunn.

"Wow." He said quietly.

"I'm almost as tall as you in these shoes." She said still looking up at him. Had he grown a foot over summer or what?

"Not even close." He said smiling.

"Kinda close." She said as they walked out the door holding hands.

Homecoming turned out better then any of them could have imagined. Soon after arriving the girls discovered that both guys could dance well. People talked about the couples. Spreading gossip and rumors they had heard.

"I knew Sarah and Colt were dating!"

"I thought you said she was a lesbian?"

"I heard Jade and Darren have been dating ever since she and Tyler broke up."

They had all heard this rumor. Sarah thought Darren started it himself.

"Does that mean Rocky's single? Hes hot!"

Colt and Sarah got tired of all the staring pretty quickly, but decided to wait until the announcement of the homecoming royalty. Jade had been nominated for princess.

Jade won ofcourse. That didn't suprise any of them. What did suprise them was who won Prince.

"And junior prince is...Darren Caudill!"

"What?!" said Colt.

"He probably stuffed the ballot box." Sarah replied.

As tradition would have it Jade had to Dance with Darren.

"I don't need to see this, wanna go?" Sarah asked Colt

"Yeah." He said glancing at his older brother feeling bad.

As the song started Darren took Jade's hand in a sweet loving way you would to you're girlfriend. He gently brushed her cheek. Jade turned away. Nobody seemed to notice because the gossip started flying again. Darren pulled her closer. She tried to pull away, but he held tight. She didn't want to make a scene but could hear everyone talking.

"They are SO cute together!"

"They have been dating for months. Tyler was just a cover up because they wanted to keep it a secret."

"She is just using Rocky."

"I think I'm going to ask Rocky out."

Jade hated this. She liked Rocky. She could not stand Darren. She Looked over to her date. He had a pained look on his face. She could feel Darren's hand start to move south of the place it had taken on her back.

She suddenly pulled away. "Excuse me." she said and turned and ran toward Rocky. She put her arm around her neck and started kissing him. Every Eye in the school gym was on them.

"Now thats Ninjanuity" Jade said as they broke apart giggling.

"Oh my god! I still can't believe I said that." Rocky said his cheeks turning slightly pink.

"No, its ok. I love it when you say stuff like that." She said kissing him again.

Sarah and Colt were driving around in their limo. They had obviuosly given little to no thought where they would go when they left the school dance.

"I don't know where do you want to go?" Sarah said for the 4th time.

'We should go swimming' Colt thought this, but decided not to say it aloud.

"I have an idea." Sarah said crawling forward and said something to the driver.

"Where are we going?" Colt asked.

"My favorite place in the world." Sarah said.

After about 30 minutes Sarah opened the window and stuck her head out.

"I love that smell!" Sarah said.

Colt could smell salt water.

"We're here. Come on!" Sarah said grabbing his hand.

They were at the top of a cliff.

"We're gonna have to climb down" Sarah said looking at him. "Can you handle that ninja boy?"

"Well," He said smiling taking off his jacket, "If a girl could do it, So can I."

"Don't call me a girl!" She said taking off her shoes.

They climbed a short way down. Sarah showed Colt a small cave in the side of the cliff.

"I used to come her all the time". She said lighting a fire. All the stuff was already there.

"I would just sit and watch the ocean. It calms me down." Colt looked at her. She was sitting in the fire light.

"You look nice tonight Sarah" he said looking at her.

"Thanks" She babbled "I wasn't sure you would like the dress. Not that I really cared. Didn't think about a lot or anything. I tried about a hundred on. There was this green on that I kinda liked Jade liked it more then I did,"

"Shut up!" Colt said suddenly.

"What?" she said looking at him.

"I'm trying that I like you stupid! Like, really like you. I really like you Sarah."

Her face changed. Colt couldn't tell what she was thinking.

She got up and walked away.

'Shit!' Colt thought. 'What did I do?'

Sarah was just standing at the edge staring at the black water.

Colt walked up behind her.

"Or we could just forget I ever said that." Colt said sounding worried. "We should just be friends. I just want you to be my friend."

Sarah looked at him. She couldn't help but smile. He looked like a scared puppy. She had never seen him scared before.

"I could be your friend, But I don't want to." She said.

Colt looked at her confused.

She pushed him up against the rock wall and kissed him. He kissed her back. All anxiety and frustration left him. All he needed was this moment.

Colt walked into his house to find his dad sitting on the couch waiting for him.

"I hope tonight was worth it. Your twenty minutes late for curfew. I'm grounding you for a week."

Colt didn't care "your right dad. I'm sorry."

His father looked at him stunned. "Ok. Goodnight son."

Colt smiled to himself as he walked up the stairs. 'It was worth it' he thought as he lay down to go to bed. 'It really was.'
