Disclaimer: I own none, only Casey. I may not even own the plot which may
be owned by Ivorycat (read her stories, they're good!). She also may be writing
for this, so look out for her input. Joss, the insane god he is, owns the
whole cast of characters you see, save again, for Casey, she is mine.
Attention: Look, there will be talk of, if not seen, cases of child abuse from Holtz. This happens because in my time line, Holtz took much of his anger out on Casey, and some out on Connor. But Connor was the favorite child of the two. More about that later. There also may be instance of corporal punishment. I would like to inform people that child abuse and corporal punishment are two different things. Corporal punishment will only happen when there is need for it to happen, and it will always be done in a loving environment.
Author's Note: I am going to try and put my teenage characters though what normal teenagers go through. That may be bad grades, idiot teachers, sexual harassment, drugs, alcohol, and that such. Some may be embellished a little, but guess what? If they are, that's because I have yet to experience them in my high school. Now don't say that I make this some kind of soap opera, because quite frankly, life is one.
Summery: The work starts.
Chapter Twenty-Two: Setting Up
"Come on!" Casey pulled her brother down the street.
"We'll get there when we get there. Don't worry," Connor tried to stop, and walk on his own, but it was no use, he just let himself be dragged down the street.
"We're here!" Casey announced when they entered the gym.
"That's bloody wonderful, now why don't you make yourself useful and help us!" a voice came from behind a makeshift wall.
"Go help the poor guy, I'm going to find Claire in this mess," Connor told his sister.
"Claire isn't here yet. Or she was, but she had to leave for a second. So I'll tell you what, why don't you both come and help me?" the person said from behind the wall.
Connor looked at his sister, who just shrugged and went off to do something else, hating the idea that she would actually have to work.
"Thanks mate," the guy said as Connor came into view.
Connor shrugged, "No biggie."
The guy laughed, "M'name's Will. You?"
"Connor," he answered as he made sure the wall would not fall.
"Will!" Claire called as she walked into the gym.
"Right here Kit, with your lover boy!" Will called from another area.
"You're horrid!" Claire complained as she made her way over to the pair; she was blushing when she gave a hug to the older male. "Is Casey here?" she asked.
Connor nodded. "Good!" Claire clapped her hands, Charlie is bringing a bunch of props in, and Casey should know where they go."
Connor grinned as Claire flounced off. "She's a busy chit, that one," Will said, a small bit of mirth in his voice.
"She's an angel," Connor breathed.
Will laid a hand on Connor's shoulder, "An angel she is, but if you even think of hurting her, you'll wish you'd never met her."
Connor glared at Will, "Never had an intention of hurting her"
Will smiled, "Good to hear it mate, good to hear it. Now why don't we see what kind of props we're going to have to put up."
Casey was ecstatic when she saw the kind of props that Claire brought, she was even happier when she saw Charlie. She gave a wicked grin to Lissa and Claire, "Ooh, can I play with this prop?" she asked in innocence.
Claire laughed, "Sure, as long as I can play with Connor."
Casey laughed, "You dirty girl! Go to Connor's room!" the three joked as Charlie, Connor, and Will came up.
"Are you chits ready to do some work?" Will asked, as he leaned on a plastic post.
"Nuh-uh, that's your job boys. Maybe Mitch will help you, he should be around, somewhere," Casey wagged her finger in Will's general direction.
Forty minutes later everyone was in costume, and sitting in the hallway eating pizza.
"I can't believe we're pulling this off!" Mitch said as he reached for his fifth piece of pizza.
"I can't believe I survived this far," Connor muttered darkly as Claire mussed his hair.
Once everyone finished his or her makeshift dinner, Casey stood up and smoothed out her short skirt. Connor growled when he saw how short it was, but Claire shushed him.
"You're not in charge of her," she told the irate teenage brother who just narrowed his eyes in response, but he did not growl this time.
"Well, everyone, it's time!" Casey stood up and strode towards the gym, all the girls following, leaving the guys to clean up like usual.
Author's Note 2: I know, it's broked up, and I'm sirry, but I wanted some Casey-Charlie Action. So sue me, wait, on second thought don't. But review, please. I want to make 100 reviews by the time I post chapter 26. That would be really, really cool! Ta!
