We Don't own Degrassi.

Author's note: I (MsZoid, who does all the editing due to my being on break from college) Decided to explain a little something about this story. First of all-it started as a joke. We'd been complaining about some of the cliche's and poor writing in Degrassi fiction, and I said "lets make a horribly bad, Mary-sue like story." So we started this one. However, it turned into a good, fun, funny story, where the characters just happened to share names and personality traits with us. So, basically, this story is a half-joke. You may not like it, but we do. If you don't like it, don't read it. Its that simple. Or read it, make fun of it, and write your own parody of it. Whatever.

Another note about writing style--we write this story in IM form, and then I edit it, spell check each part, and then when we're done with a part of the story I re edit and respell check. So if things get confusing that's because of the way we write it.

OK, this little note has gone on lone enough. Onto part three.

the next day at school.

Ashley and Marco and Nicole were hanging out at the lockers before homeroom. Ashley was trying to decide about hanging up the picture Angie drew.

"Don't do it," Nicole warned. "Unless you want Ashley to be mad."

"Fine, I'll put it up at home." Just then they heard someone yelling. It was Paige

"Where *were* you last night?"

"I hung out at Craig's for a while."

"Just you and Craig?"

"No, Marco, Ashley and Nicole were there."

"What? I told you not to hang out with her!"

Nicole laughed at that. "I didn't know she was there, I swear Paige," Spinner said.

"Ok, that was so a lie" Marco noted. "He saw me leave with you"

"I don't care, you can't hang out with her anymore!"

"You can't tell me what to do, Paige!"

"I so can tell you what to do!" Paige glared at him. "Remember, you said so yourself, you're completely whipped."

"Maybe I don't want to be whipped anymore"

"Dude, what's that I see walking down the hall waving at Spinner? Its his lost spine!"

"thank you, thank you," Nicole said, bowing.

"What are you saying Spinner?"

"I'm saying that Nicole at least treats me like a human being."

"If you want to be with her, then why aren't you?"

"Because I'm with you!"

"Dammit," Nicole said under her breath. Score one for Paige.

"Maybe not anymore."

"Paige..."

"You can either have me or her, not both."

"Dun dun dun," Marco whispered loudly.

"I can't even be her friend?"

"No."

"Then...then I don't want to be with someone like you."

Paige stood there openmouthed, "Spin, you don't mean that."

"Yes, I do."

"Spin, I'm sorry..."

"I just done like sharing you with other girls." She screwed her face up in her perfect little pout.

"We're friends..." Spinner looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn't.

"I'm sorry, it won't happen again." They walked off then.

"And there goes his spine," Marco said whistling. "Well, that sucked," Nicole agreed.

"Its ok. Band practice tonight, and I think Paige, Terri and Ashley are going shopping.."

"That's what I love about you Marco, always thinking."

"Here I thought you loved my fashion sense"

"That too, come on, Simpson's gonna be pissed if we're late"

That afternoon

Ashley and Nicole get to band practice-Angie, Emma and Manny are on the couch.

"Emma, right?" Nicole asked, looking at the 3 on the couch. "Hey Angie."

"Yes, I'm Emma. This is Manny."

"I'm Ashley." Ashley sat down and Angie crawled on her lap.

"I have news" Craig and Marco said it at the same moment.

"Double news, should be good. You guys gonna fight to see who goes first?"

"Marco you can go."

"Polo"

"Guess who has a date Friday night?"

"Well, I know it's not me...I'm guessing you?"Marco just nodded.

"Dylan?" He nodded again.

"Alright Marco!" Ashley and Nicole each gave him a high five.

"Ooh, how exciting!" Nicole smiled. "Okay Craig, what's your good news?"

"Two weeks from Saturday...we have a gig at that new teen club downtown."

Jimmy's eyes went wide. "Really? Sweet!"

"You know what this means guys?" Manny asked. "You need to name the band"

"Oh, we do. We need a good name" Spinner said

"A perfect name." Craig nodded.

"Yes, it's all in the name," Ashley and Nicole agreed. "I mean, we once went to see this band our friends were in..their band was called *insert lame name here* and no one was there...no one wanted to see a band named that. we were only there cuz we knew who they were"

"Yeah..."

"Something about the Powerpuff girls!" Angie suggested.

"We're not girls..."

"Still...hmm...I've got it!" Ashley said. "Chemical X"

"Chemical X." Jimmy thought for a minute. "That does sound kind of..well, cool"

"Yeah..its great." Marco agreed.

"Buttercup, you're a genius" Craig said with a nod.

Buttercup?" Emma asked, looking at Craig and then at Ashley.

"Buttercup's the best" Angie agreed.

"You guys are giving me a swelled head!" Ashley blushed.

"Ok, what about songs." Nicole said.

"We don't have many songs," Marco said. "Hey," Spinner said laughing, "Maybe we should do a cover of that lame song Joey was singing the other day."

Craig laughed. "ok, lets try it. One. Two. Three." They started in on the song, just goofing off.

After working on it for a few minutes, they finally figured out what they were doing, and turned the song into more of a rock song, then pop. And surprisingly, it sounded good. When they were done, Craig looked over at the girls. Ashley and Angie clapped for him, Angie having found Joey's fedora, which she was now wearing.

"Yay Craig!" Angie said, laughing.

"Nice hat." He responded.

The band began to work more on a set list.

"I'm serious," Nicole said, "A John Mayer song would be great."

You sound like Paige," Spinner said. Seeing the look on Nicole's face, he looked at the drums. "Sorry."

Nicole just shrugged. "As long as that's all I have in common with her."

"It is" Spinner said with a slow smile.

Marco and Ashley looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Nicole smacked Marco in the arm.

"I think whatever you sing will be great, Craig." Manny said, flirting.

"Craig's great!" Angie agreed.

"What's up with Manny?" Nicole whispered to Ashley and Marco.

"Yeah," Marco agreed, "who would flirt with a guy that already has a girlfriend?" She smacked him again.

The three of them started giggling. Just then Jimmy spoke up. "Shit, I gotta go." He ran out the door.

"Jimmy's always in a hurry."

"For what though?"

"His parents have suddenly started being home three nights a week for family time. Of course, they leave every weekend, but whatever." Spinner said.

Just then Joey walked into the garage. "Hey band people."

"Daddy!" Angie ran up to Joey and giggled. "Like my hat?"

"Of course I do."

"Guess what Joey? We have a gig!"

"Great for you guys!"

"Need a keyboard player?" he asked them, grinning. "Joking guys. It was a joke."

"We're good band wise. We even have a name!"

"And what did you decide on?"

Craig smiled "Buttercup came up with Chemical X."

"Still with the Buttercup thing eh? Did ya slip up in front of Ashley at school? Speaking of, where is your girlfriend these days Craig?"

Craig shrugged. "She had plans with Paige. They've gotten to be really close lately."

Joey nodded. "I'm just going to order pizza..who's staying for dinner?"

Spinner, Marco, Ashley, Nicole and Emma raised their hands. Manny had to go and headed home.

"Joey's pretty cool about letting all of us hang out here all the time," Nicole said.

"He's good like that." Emma agreed, feeling awkward, but not wanting to go home.

The six of then went to the rec-room, Angie being told she had to spend time with her father.

"So Emma, you used to date that kid Sean right?"

Emma nodded. "It just didn't work out."

"I see..."

"Oh, Nicole and Spinner, I need to ask you something" Craig said.

"I'm not into threesomes, sorry." Nicole responded.

Emma's eyes widened in shock and Spinner blushed. "It was a joke, sorry."

"I have this photography project, and I need two models, a male and a female. Would you guys do it?"

"What about Paige?" Spinner asked.

"You know that she can't help but look at a camera whenever its near her, that won't work for this project."

"Surprise surprise," Nicole muttered under her breath.

"Sure" Spinner said. Nicole agreed.

"Have fun Craig." Ashley said.

"What, aren't you going to carry my camera's and be my assistant?"

"You didn't ask me to be your assistant."

"I figured you'd want to hang out with us anyways. Didn't think I needed to ask

"True, but its nice to be asked."

"Ok, Buttercup, want to be my assistant when I shoot Nicole and Spinner tomorrow night?"

"I can do that."

"Yay, it'll be fun! What do I get to wear?"

"Casual clothes, I'll explain the theme tomorrow."

"Ok, speaking of clothes..me. Friday night. Dylan. What do i wear?"

"Wear something that tears easy," Nicole said, snickering. She just liked making Emma blush.

"Ok, that's what Craig should film!"

"Ew, just..ew"

Joey brings down the pizzas then.

"Hey, thanks Joey, for letting us hang out here all the time," Ashley said sincerely. "With my dad gone all the time, it's kind of nice to be with a family."

"Suck up" Nicole coughed.

Ashley stuck her tongue out at her as Joey responded "I know Angie and Craig love having you around, so its fine by me."

Marco whispers to Spinner "Craig wants her around. And under. And on top"

Spinner snickered. "She is hotter than the other Ash," he agreed.

"Craig just has to notice that he likes her."

"Craig's oblivious. I'm thinking about dumping Paige."

"Really?" Marco asked, rolling his eyes. "Can't say I'm surprised. Have anything to do with a certain girl from the States who's not after Craig?"

"Perhaps. Why do you think I agreed to name the band Chemical X? Cause of that time we watched the Powerpuff girls the other night."

"Something happen with the 2 of you then that I didn't see?"

"She tried to hold my hand..I don't know how to explain it. She's not Paige, in a good way."

Craig walks over to the boys. "What are you whispering about?"

"Spinner's dumping Paige."

"Yeah right. What are you guys really talking about?"

"What do you think they're talking about?" Nicole asked the other girls

"No, I'm serious. I think, I'm going to see what happens at the photo shoot tomorrow night." Craig nodded.

"Boxers or briefs? I don't know." Ashley said.

Hey boys! Are you having girltalk or something? Should we leave so you can paint each others nails?

"No, you can help me. Spinner wants a pedicure." Marco replied, then the boys headed over to the girls and they hung out.

the next day at lunch...

"So, what are you guys doing tonight while I'm forced to take Marco Polo shopping alone?" Ellie asked.

"I'm going to be a supermodel," Nicole said, posing

"Nicole and Spin are Craig's photography class models, I'm his assistant."

"I see."

Just then the other Ashley sat down. "Ellie, Paige and Terri and I were wondering if you wanted to hang out with us tonight."

"Hey Ashley," Nicole said sweetly.

"I can't, I'm taking Marco shopping"

"Oh, suck." Ashley said sitting down. "he's nervous about that, I bet."

"Marco's scared shitless" Craig said, dropping to sit next to Ashley and across from Buttercup Ashley. "Ash, did you hear about the gig?"

"What gig?"

"The band has a gig, two weeks from Saturday. You'll be there?"

"Two weeks is my Aunt Carrie's wedding."

Craig's face fell. "But Ash, you don't even like your aunt Carrie."

"I have to go, I promised my Mom...I'm so sorry."

"Its ok, Ash, really."

"Are we still on for tomorrow night?"

"Of course." Craig said.

"What are you guys doing tomorrow night?" Ashley asked, trying to sound interested and not jealous/

"Just going to the movies. Same as every Friday night" Craig explained.

"Its my night to pick, even."

"Cool, cool."

Nicole spoke up "Ellie, why don't you come over tomorrow night, we'll watch a movie."

"Can we watch the Princess Bride?" Ashley asked. After that Lunch was pretty boring.

Craig, Ashley, Spinner and Nicole met up in the local woods.

"So, what's this photo project about, Craig?"

"Basically, you two play a couple, First you fight, then you make up."

Nicole turned around and mouthed "oh my God" to Ashley.

"Um, are you sure this is a good idea?" Spinner asked

"Why wouldn't it be? Now, go over there." Craig pointed.

Ashley looked at him. "You set this up, didn't you?"

"What?" he asked innocently, a grin on his face.

"You cannot lie to me, Craig. You set this up."

"Ok, fine I did. Don't you like the idea, Buttercup?"

"Craig, its a great idea! I wish I'd thought of it myself. I just didn't know you wanted them together."

"Yeah well, I didn't tell you this, but he's thinking of breaking it off with Paige. This little push could accomplish that."

"Craig, you're my hero!" Ashley hugged him then.

"Yeah well, I didn't tell you this, but he's thinking of breaking it off with Paige. This little push could accomplish that."

"Craig, you're my hero!" Ashley hugged him then.

"Okay, are you guys ready?"

Both nodded and Craig had them shoot the first shots, pretending to fight.

Nicole laughed, as she pretended to push Spinner away, ruining a shot. "Sorry," she said laughing, "But it's hard to pretend to mad at someone."

"Its ok, lets keep going" They managed to do ok for the fight shots. "Now the making up." Craig said, smiling.

"How exactly do you show 2 people making up?" Spinner asked.

"Follow directions" Craig said. He had them, hug, Spinner tilt Nicole's chin up, "Now kiss."

"Excuse me?"

"Kiss. Just kiss Damnit!"

They did kiss. Then they kissed somemore. in fact, they kissed until Ashley had to drag Craig behind a tree cause she was getting embarrassed watching.

"Way to go love doctor."

"I'm good, what can I say." They stepped out from behind the tree. "Ok, guys, Buttercup and I are going home now. Have fun."

They walked away, and Spinner looked at Nicole "I'm dumping Paige. Tomorrow night."

Nicole tried not to smile too hard. "Are you sure you want to do that?"

"Not that I won't stop you or anything."

"Positive."

"Good." They walked off, holding hands. Nicole tried not to smile too hard. "Are you sure you want to do that?
