Disclaimer: I own a car. A house. A flying saucer. Yet I do not own Desperate Housewives. Marc Cherry does. Lucky Guy. Ever had days when you wish you were Marc? I do. This is following the same basic events in series 3 but slightly changed…okay, a lot. Almost completely, get off my back…please? Thanks to my sister who helped write this. This is the 9th part and hopefully entertaining., and it is a little while after the last chap.! This is focused more on JULIE!
Julie and Danielle and Austin
Julie sat on a fence, next to Danielle.
"…and Mom was freaking out just because me and Austin are together now!" Julie was moaning. Danielle nodded.
"Mothers!" she joked, "They always find a way to hate our boyfriends."
Julie grinned, "The thing is, I like Austin a lot but…I'm worried he wants something more from me!"
"What?"
"Y'know…"
"Jelly-babies?"
"No! Erm, something…" Julie shrugged, "That I don't want to give up yet!"
Danielle nodded, "Ohhh! You've never done it with anyone!"
Julie blushed, "Yeah. And I don't know if I'll do it with Austin."
Danielle smiled, "Honey, if he isn't pressuring you, just calm down,"
"But what if he goes with someone else?"
Danielle felt her stomach twist but she shrugged it off, "He wouldn't! He's a good guy!"
Danielle frowned, "But don't do anything until he offers you jelly-babies…"
Julie burst out laughing.
"Jelly-babies?"
"Okay! I get it! You don't like 'em like I do!"
Although she pretended to pass it off and ignore it, the thought of Austin in another girl's arms bothered Julie. And that night, she had a terrible dream about it.
Austin answered the door, his face handsome in the moonlight.
"Hi," he smiled, "I thought you'd never arrive."
She smiled at him, "I'm fashionably late. Did you see what's-her-face again today?"
Austin nodded, "Julie. And I did. She is my girlfriend!"
"What does that make me?"
He smiled at her, hand in hers, "My best friend?"
She grinned back at him, showing pearly white teeth. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Austin opened the door wider and she stepped in. Then, he leaned in to kiss…
Julie awoke with a start, "Holy shi--"
"Julie!" her mom yelled, "Breakfast!"
Julie sighed and got out of bed. The girl in her dream: blurred face, no name, she could be anyone!
She got downstairs and saw her mom getting milk out of the fridge, and Ian and Danielle sitting at the table.
"Danielle?" Julie muttered, rubbing her eyes.
"Morning, sleepy-head!" she grinned, "I guess you forgot we had an early shopping date!"
"Oh…" Julie frowned, grabbing a plate of pancakes, "I did. Sorry."
Danielle shrugged, "It's okay. I got some of your mom's--"
Ian cleared his throat. Danielle sighed.
"--I mean, Ian's pancakes."
Julie glanced at Danielle's pancake, which had red, green and orange lumps in.
"She got here in time to put jelly-babies in," Ian said, shrugging.
Danielle grinned and ate the last forkful of pancake.
"Well, I'll be off then. See you around, Mr. Hainesworth and Mrs. Mayer. Julie, I'll call you tonight."
Danielle opened the door, waved one last time and then left, closing the door behind her. Ian glanced at Julie.
"She's an odd child,"
Julie rolled her eyes, "She is not!"
Susan sat next to Ian, "She's obsessed with jelly-babies, and she had an affair with her history teacher,"
Julie frowned, "How do you…?"
Susan grinned, "Bree blabbed at poker."
Julie nodded, "Huh. Anyways, Danielle is a good friend. She's my best friend, so leave off, you two,"
Julie walked back upstairs. Ian stared at Susan.
"Who knew that a girl like Julie could be friends with a girl like Danielle?"
Susan shrugged and kissed him.
Julie sat in the park, waiting for Austin. She didn't want to lose him, yet she wasn't sure she was ready. She had to think fast as she could see him coming down the path. She leaned forward and waved at him, before she leaned back into her spot of solitude, behind a big boulder. Then, she made up her mind.
Later
Julie and Austin were lying on the ground, kissing. Austin pulled away.
"Why'd you stop?" Julie asked.
"Well, uh, it's getting late. I got your blouse unbuttoned. That's usually when we call it a night."
"Do you wanna call it a night?" Julie asked timidly.
"What, do you wanna grab a pizza or something?"
Julie shook her head and kissed him.
"I wanna do what...you wanna do."
"Well...you know what I wanna do."
"Well, okay." Julie said.
"Are you sure?" Austin asked, visibly concerned.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
Julie pulled him back down and kissed him again, prepared for what was next.
"You gave in," Danielle tutted, putting a cherry on her ice cream, "You gave in and did it in the park…not that I'm not impressed."
Julie grinned, "It was amazing! Like an explosion throughout my body."
"It would've been better with jelly-babies,"
"No! No, no! But, anyway, now I can see why you did it for the first time with Mr. Faladi!"
"Erm…" Danielle bit her lip, "Actually it was Matthew Applewhite,"
"Oh," Julie frowned, "Can't say I'm not surprised, he was hot,"
Danielle nodded, "Yeah. And you know what? So's Austin!"
Julie gasped, and hugged her, "Oh, I knew you'd be supportive! My mom would freak!"
Danielle nodded, "Uh-huh."
"You okay? You sound funny."
"Yeah, I'm fine,"
LATER
"Have you lost your mind? I am not getting you the pill." Edie cried.
"Aunt Edie, Julie and I are in love." Austin insisted.
Edie laughed, pouring another brandy, "Oh, please. It's not love you're feeling. It's hormones."
"That's not true."
"Okay, fine. If you want to...express your love, you don't need to go all the way. Kiss. Touch. Rub. I mean, whatever happened to heavy petting? It's so underrated." Edie muttered.
"That's your advice?" Austin scoffed.
"Well, I'm sorry. I've never been good at getting people not to have sex."
"So you're not gonna help us?" Julie asked.
"Julie, if I do this, your mother would have my head. You should be talking to her." Edie sighed.
"I can't talk to her. The whole idea of this completely freaks her out. She started screaming 'sex kills.'"
"Hmm, so now it's all in my lap. God, she pisses me off. Look, how about I spring for a box of condoms? Will that get you two off my back?" Edie asked.
"Condoms are only eighty-five percent effective."
"Is that true? Damn. I thought I could coast all the way to menopause."
"Look, we're gonna have sex whether you help us or not."
Julie sighed, "We're just trying to be responsible."
Edie sat, looking thoughtful for a moment, "Hmm. All right. But just so you know, the responsible thing is to abstain from sex and focus on your studies. There. I said it out loud, just in case anybody asks."
Julie grinned broadly, "Thanks, Edie."
Edie shrugged, finishing her drink in one, "Yeah, yeah. Whatever!"
Later that day, Julie felt like a huge weight was lifted off her shoulders. She had slept with Austin, therefore there would be no other girl. Except…
Julie, who had been grinning out the window at Austin's home, suddenly frowned. They had been dating for a while before she agreed to sleeping with him. What if there was another girl? She suddenly had a brainwave.
"I've been getting a lot of these, it's Danielle's turn," she muttered. But she decided to press on. She left her home and looked up at Edie's home. A girl was ringing the door bell. Austin answered.
"Hi," he smiled, "I thought you'd never arrive."
She smiled at him, "I'm fashionably late. Did you see Julie again today?"
Julie walked closer to Edie's house. She hid behind a tree at hearing distance.
Austin nodded, "I did. She is my girlfriend!"
"What does that make me?"
He smiled at her, hand in hers, "My best friend?"
She grinned back at him, showing pearly white teeth. She tucked a strand of brunette hair behind her ear. Austin opened the door wider and she stepped in. Then, he leaned in to kiss her.
And this time, it wasn't a dream.
Julie watched Austin kiss Danielle and bring her into the house. Julie walked along to the front door, looking in the window into the living room, where they were lying on the sofa, making out. Julie felt tears prickle at her eyes, and she turned away as they spilt over.
"What…a…bitch…" Julie hissed. Then, she went and hammered on the front door.
Austin answered, and when he saw her his eyes filled with fear, "Julie?"
"Austin. And where's Danielle?" Julie snapped, shoving Austin and stepping into the house. Danielle was hiding behind a chair.
"You…" Julie cried. Danielle stood up.
"Hi! Julie. I just came over to help Austin study!"
Julie scoffed, "Whatever! You do remember how dumb you are, right?"
Danielle looked hurt, "Hey!"
"And, Austin!" Julie spun around, "I sleep with you. You are my first ever! And I find you hopping into bed with my best friend?! You are a sick, sick…sick…nymphomaniac!!"
Julie ran towards the door and Austin grabbed her arm, "Julie, look…"
Julie spun around and smacked her fist into his perfect face. He fell to the floor, blood pouring from his nose. Julie turned her tear-stained face to Danielle.
Danielle moved towards her, "Julie, please…"
"No…" Julie whispered, arm falling, calmer to her childhood friend, "Just stay away…"
Julie ran from the house, crying. She ran into her house, where her mother, Mrs. Scavo and Mrs. Solis stood.
"Julie?" Susan asked. Julie turned her head away.
"Mom?" she muttered, shakily.
"Julie, are you okay?"
Julie stood still. She could almost see her mother's concerned face, and Mrs. Scavo's look of worry, and Mrs. Solis' look of interest.
"Fine," Julie hissed.
"Julie, are you sure?" Mrs Scavo asked.
"Mom…" Julie sighed, "You don't like Mrs. Hodge anymore, right?"
"I like her, she just is mad at me. Why?"
Julie bit her lip, "Because, I hate Danielle Van de Kamp."
Julie heard the three women splutter their coffee.
"Aw, crap."
"My dress!"
"My Julie! Why, Julie?"
Julie turned her tear stained face towards them.
"I loved Austin Britt. I dated him, tutored him, had sex with him for the first time…"
The women spluttered yet again, "What?"
"…and all this time, he was sleeping with Danielle." Julie finished, "I hate them both!"
"Oh, Julie," Susan started, moving towards her.
"Don't!" Julie yelled, running upstairs.
Susan turned to stare at Lynette and Gabrielle. Lynette had her eyes closed and hands clasped together.
"What are you doing?"
"Praying!"
"What for?"
"Hoping Penny stays a baby forever!" Lynette snapped, "Or at least doesn't do it until she's 40!"
Lynette went back to praying. Susan and Gabby went silent as they heard Julie ripping things up, and smashing things.
The next morning, when Susan went upstairs and took Julie's bin out of her room, she found a torn up picture of Austin and a scrapbook. When she opened the scrapbook, she found it was entitled, Julie and Danielle: Friends Forever!
Hope you enjoyed! Please R&R! All comments welcome! And sorry this one was NOT FUNNY but at least there are some serious aspects!
