Comments: I need feedback. Remember, FEED ME! Aeryn, hope you don't mind but I kinda stole the names you used for Lily & Nic's moms (Gayle and Maria). Enjoy!
Mike walked in the living room where all of his guests were gathered. "Everyone, I'm glad you all showed up."
Nicole raised a brow as her mother gave Mr. McQueen the evil eye.
Lily sat on the couch with her mother and shifted uncomfortably as she looked over at Carmen who was sitting at the table with her mom, Sam, Jane and Brooke.
"I brought you all here because it seems out children have been keeping a few secrets from us and I think now is the time we all revealed what we've been hiding."
Josh swallowed hard, sweating footballs as his father listened contently.
"I'll go first. The secret I've been keeping is that I know everyone here has a secret and I know every secret there is to be told tonight but that's not why I'm standing here shaking in my boots. Perhaps you would like to tell them Gayle."
George walked into the room and led his parents over to sit with Josh and his father.
Gayle glared at the man then glanced at Jane and Maria. "Fine, whatever. Us four, Jane, Mike, Maria and myself hired a PI to investigate our children."
Brooke, Sam, Nicole and Lily shot glares at their parents.
"Dad, after this insane little meeting's over we're gonna have a serious talk," Brooke growled.
"Does that mean you're next Brooke? I saw what went on a few nights ago and believe me, I would have rather you just told me!"
Brooke blushed and stood up. Nicole nodded and stood next to her. "Dad, Jane, Mrs. Julian, I'm gay and Nicole's my girlfriend."
Mike sighed, getting quite an earful from Jane who was bitching about him not telling her.
Gayle, on the other hand, was screaming at her daughter at the top of her lungs. "How could you? Do you know what this will do to me? And with her of all people!" She couldn't insult Brooke because she actually liked the girl. Well up until this point she had. "That! THAT! Anorexic, self centered Drama Queen!"
"Hey, don't speak about my daughter that way," Mike growled in Brooke's defense.
"She's not the only one," Lily whispered.
Silence overcame them as all eyes turned to the Latina. "The only gay one I mean. Carmen makes me happy."
Before yet another near fist fight could come about George stood. "I've been dating Josh for a few months now," he confessed, knowing neither him nor Josh would ever hear the end of this.
Sam smirked. She had a secret but nobody would believe her. "I ran away. No big secret. Ran into some vampires and a group of heroes that save the world night after night. No big secret there."
Mike shook his head. "What did you do when you were in Sunnydale Sam?"
Sam's face flushed. "I. . .uh. . ." everyone became quiet. "I did some Acid but that was the first and last time I'll ever do that shit again."
Jane dragged her daughter upstairs to have a long talk while Gayle dragged Nicole out by her throat and Maria shoved Lily out the door, still screaming and cursing her in Spanish. Carmen and the others were also on their way out, their parents making threats or screaming as they left the McQueen-McPherson home.
Later that night. . .
Nicole sighed as the police dragged her mom off to jail. She'd called Brooke but Mike hung up on her. She even tried Brooke's cell but it was turned off. She paced heavily when she heard the doorbell ring. She raised her head and opened the door.
"Hey Nic, can we come in?"
"Josh? George? What happened?"
"Tag team match up with our dads."
"Come in."

"Brooke, where are you going?"
"Anywhere but here."
"It's not safe."
"Then come with me."
"You sure?"
"Can you put up with Nic?"
"Sure but I wanna check on Carm and Lil first."

"Nic. . ." Brooke hugged her lover tight.
"Brookie?" Nicole muttered with surprise.
"Can we come in?"
Nicole looked past Brooke and shook her head. "Great, the whole gangs here," she grumbled as they walked in.
They joined the guys in Nicole's living room and sat to converse about the whole situation.
"Well, tonight we're all parking it right here. It's safer. The bitch on a broomstick wont be able to come home til morning on any account," Nicole reasoned.
"But where do we go from there?"
"I'm stuck here until I turn 18. Mommy dearest wouldn't have it any other way. Unless she finds a nice boarding school."
"Me and Sammy are grounded for the rest of our stay at our house but I think we got it easy."
"Yeah, you did. Our dads disowned us and our moms wont go near the subject with a 39 ½ foot pole," George sighed.
Lily looked up. "My mom kicked me out. Same with Carmen. Looks like we need to get ourselves some steady jobs."
Nicole bit her bottom lip.
RING! RING! RING!
Nicole opened her eyes and sighed. "Hello?" she answered tiredly.
"Nic, how are you?"
"I've been better."
"Listen, about last nights meeting. . ."
"Brookie, I'm not gonna tell anyone. Just make sure Spam and her loser pals don't squeal."
"Oh she wont. I've got a few secrets on her she'd never want anyone to find out so I can blackmail if need be."
"Good. Hey, can you come over?"
"Yeah."
"Brooke, we need to be careful. All of us."
"Nic, we'll be fine, I promise."
