Disclaimer: I'm not associated with ABC (like I'd want to work at a network with Brian Frons on it's staff...) in anyway. Don't sue me. I'm just having some fun.

NOTE: I'm making John Ritter not die, the show's better that way.

CHAPTER 2

Rory walked up to his girlfriend (Danielle's) house and rang the doorbell. No one came, so he rang again. Finally Danielle came to the door. She was wearing a long sleeve sweater, even though it was almost June. "Dani?" Rory asked her. "Mmm hmm?" "Aren't you gonna be a little hot in that sweater?" Danielle spun around from locking the door. "NO!" Tears started coming to her eyes. "What's wrong??" Rory exclaimed. "N.nothing. Let's just go to school," Danielle answered. Rory nodded, unsure, and began to walk.

Danielle was pretty out of it that day. Then at lunch things got worse.

While she was taking a sip of her drink, Danielle rolled her sleeve up, revealing that her arm was all bruised up. "Oh my God, what happened??" Rory asked. "Oh. um. I tripped last night and I fell on some of my mom's work stuff." Danielle said quickly and rolled her sleeve back. Rory nodded and thought, "I wonder if she knows I'm not buying any of this?"

After school, Rory walked Danielle home. They didn't talk at all. Finally, when silence overtook their table, Rory blurted out, "Why are you lying to me?" "What do you mean?" Danielle asked, puzzled. "You said that you tripped and fell on your mom's stuff. 'stuff' can't make that many bruises. Dani, just tell me what's going on." Danielle stopped walking and her eyes welled up with tears. "My dad... my dad..."

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! YOU HAVE TO WAIT!!! But, you've probably already figured it out by now. But you have to wait anyway. HAHAHAHAHA Ew, I'm weird.
