Nikita decided to visit Derick at the bowling alley while he was working. He was always meaning to introduce her to his friends and co-workers, but never really got the chance to.
She went in and walked up to the counter. Derick was dealing with customers and didn't notice her right away. When he finally did notice that she was there, she greated her joyously.
"I didn't expect to see you here," Derick said smiling. "How did you manage?"
"Dad had to speak with the headmaster, and the headmaster told me to go out for the night, so I did." Nikita smiled as Derick laughed with happiness.
"I'm so happy to see you more than one night a week." Derick took her hand and held it.
"Derick, stop flurting with the customers," an older man said, coming from a room behind the counter.
"Sorry Kevin. This is my girlfriend, Nikita. Nikita, this is the owner and head manager, Kevin," Derick said, blushing.
"Nice to meet you Kevin," Nikita said, extending her hand that Derick had to his.
"Nice to meet you aswell. Derick has said so much about you. It's obvious he wasn't lying either." Kevin smiled, looking her over.
"I'd probably brag about how much of a sweetheart Derick is also if I had anyone to brag to," Nikita said, blushing a little.
"Derick, if you really wanted to, you can go home for the night. I think I can handle it," Kevin said suddenly.
"Really?" Derick asked, sending a confused look to Nikita. She just shrugged back at him.
"Yeah. I'm sure. I'll even pay you for the night. Go ahead and spend some time with that fine young lady you have there." Nikita blushed at the compliment she recieved.
Derick and Nitita left the bowling alley and walked around the town. It was still very early yet, so they had a lot of time to spend together.
They stopped at a little ice cream shop and got ice cream. They sat outside on one of the picnic tables and shared a large banana split.
They walked around some more and talked for a while. They walked back to Derick's house about 9:15 p.m.
"You're home early," Derick's mum said as he walked in the front door with Nikita close behind.
"Kevin gave me the night off with pay. Nikita showed up at work," Derick said smiling.
"Really? Well, it's no wonder. You've got such a beautiful girlfriend," Derick's dad said, coming into the room.
"Dad." It was Derick's turn to be embarassed.
Derick and Nikta went down to the basement to watch t.v. before Nikita had to leave. They sat and cuddled on the couch. Derick made sure to lock the basement door this time so that his sister couldn't come down to annoy them.
"I guess you gotta go now, it's five of ten," Derick said disappointedly.
"Don't worry. I'll get back to spend time with you. My dad can't keep me locked up in that closet forever, and you know that." Nikita gave him a kiss. "See ya later." She then went up the basement steps.
**Upon Nikita's Return**
Nikita walked into the castel and was greeted by her dad in the Entrance Hall.
"What? I'm back before midnight. And you didn't cast some Cinderella spell on me." Nikita smiled at him with glee.
"Cinderella? What the bloody hell is Cinderella?" Snape asked snarledly.
"Nevermind. It's a muggle story about a girl that has a evil step-mother and 2 evil step-sisters. I've got a father, even though you're not a step-father, and I don't have step-bothers or step-sisters. I'm also missing the fairy godmother," Nikita said. She then walked towards the office.
Snape went up behind her and picked her up off the ground from the back of her shirt.
"You will not speak of me that way!" Snape said angeredly. He then carried her into the office and threw into the closet and locked her there.
She slumped down in the closet until she was sitting on the floor. She knew that she would pay him back for all the years he locked her in the closet. For keeping her a secret. For being a real jerk to her. She would walk in on one of his classes and tell him she's leaving to live somewhere else.
But what class would she do this? Sometime during finals week, that's when. Who would she live with? Derick is who she'd live with. His parents really took a liking to her. Of course she'd get it cleared with them first.
All fo a sudden, the closet door went flying open. Snape pulled her out of the closet and she landed on the floor. He flung a chair around next to her and pointed to the seat part of it. Nikita got up and sat in the chair. Snape moved so that he was standing in front of her.
"Why?" he a sked.
"Why what?" Nikita asked, glaring into his glare.
"Why do you put me through this?" he asked.
"I'm not the one putting you through it. You are. I never put you through anything." Nikita slouched back in the chair and crossed her arms.
"Right. Whatever you say." Snape went over to his desk and sat down in the chair. He rubbed his face with his hands.
"Why are you trying to be nice to me?" Nikita asked.
"Dumbledore," Snape said, looking up at her.
"So you're finally taking his advise. Good for you," Nikita complimented him. She had a bit of an angered look on her face.
"What are you saying?" Snape asked.
"I'm just trying to congradulate you on finally trying to be nice to someone. You're mean to everyone else. Your temper is what drove mum to killing herself." Nikita stood up. "I'll just put myself in the closet now and save you the trouble of you getting up and putting me in there yourself." She then went to the closet and went inside. She closed the door behind her.
She heard Snape get up and leave. She fell asleep before he came back.
