(For the purposes of this story Spike wasn't pregnant when she and Snake
got married. Also, this story will take place two years from where Degrassi
is now. So characters like Emma and Manny will be 10th graders, Craig and
Paige 11th and so on @ Degrassi High.)
-Chapter One-
She walked down the street of small houses, eyeing each one as she passed by. - This is cute - She thought - It won't be so bad to live here -. It also helped that she was going to be living with the favorite cousin she hardly ever got to see, and now it was going to seem like they were sisters!
So about now you're probably wondering who this girl is? Well I'll tell you..Christie Nelson is Spike's niece. Yep, this means that Emma is her cousin. Christie was named for her dad's sister , who's real name is Christine, and they have always been very close since Spike used to live nearby when Christie was little. Since their names were so close, Christine insisted that Christie call her Spike, just Spike and nothing else.
Christie's family had been having some problems at home and when Spike got married her father had asked if it would be alright for Christie to move in with her for awhile. She of course said yes, and that brings us to the present.
Christie approached a house with two girls sitting on the front porch. On had particularly long, beautiful brown hair and the other had shoulder length hair that was bright blonde. Christie recognized the back of that head right away.
"Emma Nelson," she said sternly, but with a huge grin on her face.
Emma turned and her face exploded with glee. "COCOA!!!!! OHMYGAWD!!!!! You're finally here" Emma ran over to Christie and gave her a hug, full force, almost causing her to topple over.
"I missed you soooo much Em! We're gonna be like sisters now!"
Christie picked up her bags and walked up the steps onto the porch. She extended a hand to Emma's friend and said, "Hi! I'm Christie, Emma's cousin, you must be Manny. Emma's told me so much about you."
Manny smiled, "Yep, I would be Manny! It's great to finally meet you- you're all Emma has been talking about for DAYS!"
The girls laughed, "It's great to meet you too," replied Christie.
"Did you say your name was Christie? Didn't Emma just call you Cocoa?" asked Manny
Christie looked at Emma, rolling her eyes, and gestured for her to get on with the explanation.
"When we were growing up, I told Christie that the color of her hair reminded me of cocoa powder. Then one day I realized that when you say cocoa and Christie together it sounded like Cocoa Krispies and it just stuck. Haha, get it, Cocoa Christie/Krispies??"
Manny looked at Christie as if to say - Where in the world does she come up with this shit? - and all three of the girls began to laugh.
Just then Emma's mom popped her head outside. "Spike?" Christie said
"Christie? Is that you? Ahhh you're here!!" Spike ran over and scooped Christie into a hug. "It's so good to see you!"
"It's good to see you too Spike! Thank you so much for letting me come and stay with you. I have a feeling I'm going to have so much fun!"
Spike smiled and said, "Well I am so glad that you feel that way! Why don't you girls come inside and I'll let Archie know you've arrived."
