Hello Hello my little readers. Ok that was patronizing I won't do that
again. Alrighty then moving on . . . what have our little ducklings gotten
themselves into this time? There isn't actually a reason for me to write
any of this so I'll stop.
Beaner: I don't like the new stuff either. Xmen Evolution doesn't really make sense to me. They are too young. I'm glad you liked the flashbacks! I thought that it might have been too much or that I could have just done a chapter of them walking home or something but hey you like it so yay!

All of the Ducks were meeting in the common room to go to the main entrance to start setting up for the Open House. Most of the Ducks were to be giving tours in pairs but Connie and Guy were in charge of the refreshments and Paige and Charlie were in charge of handing out the schedules. They were all wearing their jerseys as the teacher in charge of the Open House told them to do, to show "school spirit".
"Is this the first time you have worn your jersey?" Connie asked Paige
"Yeah I just picked it up yesterday," Paige said
"Duck looks good on you" Charlie complemented
"Thanks" she smiled
"Whoa! What happened to you?" Paige asked when she saw the Bash Brothers. They were wearing kaki pants, and were without their usual bandanas, and leather jackets. Fulton wasn't even wearing his combat boots.
"We were told to dress like this" Portman growled
"You look like two pr-" Charlie was cut off.
"Don't say it" Fulton ordered
"Two preppies" Paige said
"Remember not by choice" Portman said
"Aw no I think that you look sweet all clean cut" Paige teased
"You're asking for it" Fulton warned
"What are you going to correct my grammar or something?" Paige laughed
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Connie and Guy set up the cups, put out the food and napkins on two tables and then sat on the two chairs that they brought from a classroom. The first 'wave' of parents and potential future students were supposed to arrive at five then the second 'wave' at six, the third and seven and the last at eight.
"It's going to be a long night," Guy said
"Indefinitely" Connie agreed
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Paige put the last of the schedules onto the table while Charlie put out the Eden Hall Mighty Duck pins.
"We have pins?" Paige asked sitting down
"Of course your old school didn't have pins?" Charlie asked sarcastically
"Sadly no did yours?" she asked
"Nope" he answered
"We were missing out. A school isn't a school unless it has pins" Paige said
"I know I strangely feel fulfilled knowing that I can wear a pin" he agreed smiling
"Allow me" Paige took a pin, stood up, walked towards him and stuck it into his shirt. She was so close that Charlie could smell her hair. 'It smells so good' he thought.
"There" she smoothed out the material around the pin then looked at him without taking her hand away from his chest. Then she cocked her head to the side and asked, "Now are you feeling the school spirit?" She smiled then moved away from him. Disappointed that she was moving away, Charlie took a pin as well.
"Yes I am. So much so that I think I need to spread it" he went up to her getting the sweet smell of her hair back and looked down at her and put the pin on her shirt slid his hand to her shoulder then down her arm. Then he put booth of his hands into his pockets and sheepishly looked down then back to her beautiful face to find that she was looking at him.
"So when did you get your 'C'?" she asked looking down at the pressed letter on his shirt then tracing it with her finger and looked back up at him. Being this close to him had caused her heart to quicken.
"Which time?" he breathed
She stopped tracing the letter and frowned "There was more then once?"
"Yeah" he nodded he brought one of his hands from his pocket and brushed some of her hair off of her shoulder. He then brought his head closer to hers.
"Really?" she tilted her head up to his. She could feel his breath on her face.
"Yep" their lips were just about to touch when . . .
The main door open and Bombay entered
They quickly pulled away both slightly red. 'That was close' Paige thought 'too close'. Charlie on the other hand was upset that Bombay had come when he did.
"Are you two ready?" Bombay asked. They both nodded.
"Where are the rest of the Ducks?" Bombay asked
"They're just past those doors" Paige said, "I'll show you" she quickly lead her uncle through the doors and as soon and they entered the other room they saw the other Ducks. Connie and Guy behind the refreshment table and the rest with the other volunteers standing around waiting for the people to arrive so they could give their tours.
"You know Paige I didn't need to be shown" Bombay said
"I guess you're right" Paige nodded and looked around.
"Shouldn't you get back to Charlie?" Bombay asked
"Why?" Paige asked
"Because they are supposed to be arriving soon" Bombay answered
"Right" Paige said taking a deep breath then went back through the doors.

Goldberg was waiting for Luis to get back from the bathroom when a couple of girls walked by.
"Hi" Goldberg waved
"Hi" the brunet haired one said awkwardly
"Fatty" the blond said just loud enough for him and her friend to hear. The word gave him a sudden pain in his heart (and ego).
The girls walked away giggling in till they ran into Luis.
"Hey stud" the blond greeted
"Evening ladies" Luis said suavely.
"Hey what's up you looked like your dog just died?" Luis asked when he reached Goldberg
"Huh?" Goldberg asked trying to whip off the hurt look on his face with his hand.
"Never mind. We have to go and continue the tour they should be finished talking to the head of science by now" Luis said
"Ok man" Goldberg said trying to forget what the girl just said.
"Luis I don't have a dog"

Russ and Averman were leading a group of parents and their children down the hall to show them yet another one of Eden Hall's many gyms.
"That in there is another gym" Russ said pointing to a pair of doors.
"How many gyms do you have?" a parent asked
Russ and Averman looked at each other. "Do you know how many gyms there are?" Averman asked softly.
"How am I supposed to know?" Russ asked.
"Well you do go to this school and you take gym" Averman said
"So do you" Russ said
"Good point" Averman nodded
"Sorry sir we don't know" Russ said
"How many teams do you have?" a mother asked
Again Averman and Russ looked at each other and then back at the people.
"A lot" Averman answered
"Do you-" a child started to ask
"Ok on with the tour. Down here is the changing rooms" Averman said leading them down the hall.
"Averman do you realize that we haven't answered one of their questions?" Russ asked
"What are you talking about I just did" Averman said
"No I mean answer with the right full answer not just 'a lot' or 'you'll find out when you come here' or 'it's a surprise,'" Russ said
"Well if you put it that way . . ." Averman said
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Who knows what he could be trying to pull on her?" Adam asked his mind filled with all sorts of ideas of ways that Portman was trying so seduce Julie.
"Who?" Kenny asked confused.
"I figure you could never really know because he's so unpredictable," Adam said staying cool even though he was fretting.
"Who?" Kenny asked getting more and more confused.
"But that's what girls like right?" Adam asked.
"Hold up Banks for me to answer all of your questions you are going to have to tell me who you are talking about" Kenny said
"No one. Nothing is going on anyway. Probably" Adam said as his mind started to become refilled with all the ways that Portman was coming onto Julie and how Julie was helpless but to fall for his charming ways.
Ken and Adam were waiting for the seven o'clock people to arrive because they had just gotten back with the six o'clock visitors.
"But do you think that he would try something and that she would fall for it?" Adam asked evenly.
"I don't know whom you are talking about" Kenny said getting slightly annoyed.
"No one" Adam said.
"Whatever" Kenny shook his head in defeat. He had never seen Adam act this weird usually he calm and collected, 'But he is asking the questions calmly' Kenny thought.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Portman and Julie were sitting on the floor out side of a classroom where their 'tour group' was talking to the head of the English department.
"No way" Julie said
"Yes way" Portman said
"You used to like Saved by the Bell too?" Julie asked
"Don't make me say it again" Portman said
"Who was your favorite character?" Julie asked
"Kelly" Portman answered with a dreamy look on his face. "How about you?"
"I always liked Jessie" Julie answered
"The smart chick?" Portman asked
"Yep, her and I liked Screech" Julie admitted
"You had a crush on that geek?" Portman asked
"No! I mean I liked the character. Not everything is about crushes you know that?" Julie asked
"You only say that because you're a hot girl so you're used to having guys drool all over you" Portman said
"And not everything is about looks either" Julie said almost disgusted
"I know that. What do you think I only like a girl because she's pretty?" Portman asked
Julie gave him a 'Are you really expecting me to believe that?' look.
"I don't. Sure that's what usually catches my attention but her personality is what keeps me around." Portman said honestly
"Really?" Julie asked she was impressed that he wasn't an animal all of the time.
"Unless she's a real babe then who can blame me" Portman finished
"Ak" Julie rolled her eyes.
"For instance there is this one girl" Portman said looking at Julie "and she's really smart and really pretty. We also have quite a bit in common"
"Like what?" Julie asked
"We both like Saved by the Bell and hockey" Portman answered
Julie was quite for a while in till a fly flew by and then she started . . .
"Do you ever think where the saying 'if only I was a fly on the wall' came from? I mean how do you know if a fly can even hear and if they do then how could they understand what the people were saying? So why would anyone want to by a fly on the wall. And don't they only live for like twenty-four hours? Also when ever you see a fly you would want to kill it so if you were the fly on the wall chances are you would either not understand a thing they were saying, your twenty-four hours would be up or they would kill you. So why don't you say if only I could hear what they were saying?" Julie said 'Oh great more nervous rambling' Julie thought
"Never thought about it," Portman admitted
"Or where did the saying 'Patience is a virtue' come from? Who decided that patience truly is a virtue. And how did the saying come to be? Did some famous person say or did it just get spread around. And how come you can't say that something else is a virtue. Well I guess you could but then people would probably say isn't it 'patience' not what ever you just said." Julie said
"Again, never thought about it" Portman said. Then the people came out of the classroom.
"Strange girl" Portman said but no one heard him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Dwayne and Fulton were touring the school. Well Dwayne was doing most of it Fulton was just walking.
"And to your left is the last of the history rooms where we bring the past to life" Dwayne said
"Now if you will all turn to your right and follow me up the flight of stairs I will show you to our Geography department." He led the way up the stairs.
"If you please go into this room" Dwayne opened up the door "the head of the Geography department is prepared to answer any of your questions. Now remember we only have so long because we have the whole rest of the school to see" After they all went into the classroom Dwayne stood promptly by the door waiting.
"You know you could have a promising future as a tour guide," Fulton said
"Really?" Dwayne asked
"Oh yeah" Fulton nodded
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Connie was busy getting more cups and napkins while Guy was opening up another Tupperware container and setting out more food. When they were done they both sat down tired.
"Only one more group it's almost eight" Guy sighed
"Thank you. The torture is almost over" Connie thanked as she started to rub the back of her neck.
"Here" Guy got up and started to give Connie a massage.
"It's times like these when I remember why I kept you around for so long," Connie teased.
"So who do you think would win the Ninja Turtles or the Power Rangers?" Guy asked
"I would have to say the Ninja Turtles" Connie said "They were ninjas with their separate weapons and they trained a lot and they were like super strong because they were mutants"
"What? The Power Rangers would beat them so easily" Guy said still massaging Connie's neck and shoulders "They had the separate weapons, then the gun and then they morphed into that huge machine thing."
"I guess you're right" Connie said, though she didn't see it Guy was beaming because he was right but what he didn't know was that Connie from the start knew that the Power Rangers could kick the Turtles asses but she wanted Guy to feel like he could win once and while. Usually they just ended up tying.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ha rock" Paige banged Charlie's scissor shaped hand lightly. They were both sitting on the table facing each other cross-legged.
"Best five out of eight" Charlie said
"I don't think so, my hand is starting to cramp up" Paige said shaking her hand uncrossed her legs and swung them over the side of the table.
"I don't know why we have to stay here the last people have already gotten their schedules and pins" Charlie complained uncrossing his own legs and swinging them over the side as well.
"Oh the little Duckies can't handle staying up past their bed time?" Riley asked with phony concern
"You realize that you're a Duck too?" Paige asked standing up "Or did that slip your mind?"
"You're a little firecracker aren't you?" Riley asked bringing his hand up to her face and stoking her chin "But you sure are pretty"
She slapped his hand away said "I'm only giving you one warning. If you touch me again I will hurt you"
"I'll take that into consideration" Riley said and when Paige turned to sit down he grabbed her ass.
She promptly turned and punched him in the face.
"What the fuck?" Riley brought his hand up to where she punched him just below his left eye.
"I warned you" Paige said
"You are going to get into so much trouble" Riley said
"Is that before or after I say that you sexually harassed me?" Paige asked
"Fine I won't tell if you don't" Riley offered still cupping his cheek.
"Good" Paige agreed. Riley walked through the doors and mire seconds later Bombay walked in looking very upset.
"Paige?" Bombay asked angrily
"Yes Coach?" Paige asked with fake innocence.
"What did you just do to Riley?" he asked
"What makes you think that I did that?" Paige asked
"Don't lie to me," Bombay ordered
"I never lied I was just asking you a question" Paige said
"Yes a question that you are avoiding answering" Bombay said
"Which question would that be?" Paige asked
"What did you do to Riley?" Bombay asked. Charlie had been quite for the whole time watching Paige and Bombay but then spoke up.
"Don't you mean what did Riley do to her to make her do that to him?" Charlie asked
"What are you- What did he do to you?" Bombay asked
"Nothing important. I dealt with it" Paige shrugged.
"He grabbed her ass after she told him not to touch her" Charlie told Bombay.
"He did? Paige that's something important" Bombay said
"Possibly but I don't think that he's going to try it again" Paige said. "Look are we done with this whole Open House thing?"
"Yes I just came to tell you two and Connie and Guy that you could go" Bombay said
"Great see yah" Paige grabbed her jacket and walked out. Charlie quickly realizing that she was leaving took his own jacket and followed her out the door.
"Oh no they don't" Bombay said and he too left the building.
"Paige you aren't just leaving that easy" Bombay said when he caught up to them.
"Why not?" she asked
"Because . . . you should be punished in some way . . . or something" Bombay said flustered
"Why because she prevented someone from touching her when she didn't want to be touched?" Charlie asked his anger slightly rising. "It's called self defense."
"I never thought about it that way" Bombay said.
"Yeah well-" Charlie was cut off.
"Charlie thank you for your help but I don't really need it" Paige said, "You shouldn't get involved with this"
"Alright" Charlie said cooling off.
"So Coach do you still feel the need to punish me?" Paige asked rolling her eyes sighing.
"No. I see your side of the story," Bombay answered
"And you aren't going to report anything?" Paige asked
"No I don't think we would need to get the school involved" Bombay said.
"I meant to my parents" Paige corrected.
"I can't promise that" Bombay said
"Fine" Paige turned and walked away. Charlie then turned and followed while Bombay went back into the school and phoned a certain pair of parents.
"Where are you going Paige?" Charlie asked
"Away" Paige answered.
"Are you ok?" Charlie asked after a while
"Of course I -" she stopped her self when she looked into his eyes. "No I'm not. I don't want my parents to know that I punched a guy in the face"
"If you explained to them what happened I-" Charlie started to say
"No you don't understand. They won't care they'll just see it as me going back to my old ways" she explained.
"Which are?" Charlie asked
Paige stopped and looked down the street to see a bus coming. The bus stopped at their corner and Paige grabbed Charlie's arm.
"Come on" she pulled him into the bus put two tokens in and took him to the back of the bus, pulled him into his seat and looked out the window.
"Um Paige where are we going?" Charlie asked
"Where ever the bus is going" she answered simply still looking out of the dirty window.
"Why?" Charlie asked
"Oh come on your telling me that you've never just wanted to get onto a bus and see where it takes you?" Paige asked turning to face him.
"You mean to other bus stops and subway stations?" Charlie asked
"No we just sit and then wait and see if we find any place that we want to get off at and if we don't then we can either go on the subway or call a cab" Paige said "Do you have your cell phone on you?"
"Yep" he answered
"Then we're set. Unless you'd rather get off and go back to Eden Hall" Paige offered with a mischievous grin.
"No I think I'll stay" Charlie said
"Great" Paige smiled
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
End of Chapter
I hope that you liked that. The ending might have been a little weird but I've always wanted to do that just get on a bus and go where ever it's going. I know not very exciting but hey I never said that it was going to be a thriller did I? Ok I hope to update soon.
Beaner: I don't like the new stuff either. Xmen Evolution doesn't really make sense to me. They are too young. I'm glad you liked the flashbacks! I thought that it might have been too much or that I could have just done a chapter of them walking home or something but hey you like it so yay!

"Duck looks good on you" Charlie complemented
"Thanks" she smiled
"Whoa! What happened to you?" Paige asked when she saw the Bash Brothers. They were wearing kaki pants, and were without their usual bandanas, and leather jackets. Fulton wasn't even wearing his combat boots.
"We were told to dress like this" Portman growled
"You look like two pr-" Charlie was cut off.
"Don't say it" Fulton ordered

"Remember not by choice" Portman said
"Aw no I think that you look sweet all clean cut" Paige teased
"You're asking for it" Fulton warned
"What are you going to correct my grammar or something?" Paige laughed

Connie and Guy set up the cups, put out the food and napkins on two tables and then sat on the two chairs that they brought from a classroom. The first 'wave' of parents and potential future students were supposed to arrive at five then the second 'wave' at six, the third and seven and the last at eight.
"It's going to be a long night," Guy said
"Indefinitely" Connie agreed
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Paige put the last of the schedules onto the table while Charlie put out the Eden Hall Mighty Duck pins.
"We have pins?" Paige asked sitting down
"Of course your old school didn't have pins?" Charlie asked sarcastically
"Sadly no did yours?" she asked
"Nope" he answered
"We were missing out. A school isn't a school unless it has pins" Paige said
"I know I strangely feel fulfilled knowing that I can wear a pin" he agreed smiling
"Allow me" Paige took a pin, stood up, walked towards him and stuck it into his shirt. She was so close that Charlie could smell her hair. 'It smells so good' he thought.
"There" she smoothed out the material around the pin then looked at him without taking her hand away from his chest. Then she cocked her head to the side and asked, "Now are you feeling the school spirit?" She smiled then moved away from him. Disappointed that she was moving away, Charlie took a pin as well.
"Yes I am. So much so that I think I need to spread it" he went up to her getting the sweet smell of her hair back and looked down at her and put the pin on her shirt slid his hand to her shoulder then down her arm. Then he put booth of his hands into his pockets and sheepishly looked down then back to her beautiful face to find that she was looking at him.
"So when did you get your 'C'?" she asked looking down at the pressed letter on his shirt then tracing it with her finger and looked back up at him. Being this close to him had caused her heart to quicken.
"Which time?" he breathed
She stopped tracing the letter and frowned "There was more then once?"
"Yeah" he nodded he brought one of his hands from his pocket and brushed some of her hair off of her shoulder. He then brought his head closer to hers.
"Really?" she tilted her head up to his. She could feel his breath on her face.
"Yep" their lips were just about to touch when . . .
The main door open and Bombay entered
They quickly pulled away both slightly red. 'That was close' Paige thought 'too close'. Charlie on the other hand was upset that Bombay had come when he did.
"Are you two ready?" Bombay asked. They both nodded.
"Where are the rest of the Ducks?" Bombay asked
"They're just past those doors" Paige said, "I'll show you" she quickly lead her uncle through the doors and as soon and they entered the other room they saw the other Ducks. Connie and Guy behind the refreshment table and the rest with the other volunteers standing around waiting for the people to arrive so they could give their tours.
"You know Paige I didn't need to be shown" Bombay said
"I guess you're right" Paige nodded and looked around.
"Shouldn't you get back to Charlie?" Bombay asked
"Why?" Paige asked
"Because they are supposed to be arriving soon" Bombay answered
"Right" Paige said taking a deep breath then went back through the doors.

Goldberg was waiting for Luis to get back from the bathroom when a couple of girls walked by.
"Hi" Goldberg waved
"Hi" the brunet haired one said awkwardly
"Fatty" the blond said just loud enough for him and her friend to hear. The word gave him a sudden pain in his heart (and ego).
The girls walked away giggling in till they ran into Luis.
"Hey stud" the blond greeted
"Evening ladies" Luis said suavely.
"Hey what's up you looked like your dog just died?" Luis asked when he reached Goldberg
"Huh?" Goldberg asked trying to whip off the hurt look on his face with his hand.
"Never mind. We have to go and continue the tour they should be finished talking to the head of science by now" Luis said
"Ok man" Goldberg said trying to forget what the girl just said.
"Luis I don't have a dog"

Russ and Averman were leading a group of parents and their children down the hall to show them yet another one of Eden Hall's many gyms.
"That in there is another gym" Russ said pointing to a pair of doors.
"How many gyms do you have?" a parent asked
Russ and Averman looked at each other. "Do you know how many gyms there are?" Averman asked softly.
"How am I supposed to know?" Russ asked.
"Well you do go to this school and you take gym" Averman said
"So do you" Russ said
"Good point" Averman nodded
"Sorry sir we don't know" Russ said
"How many teams do you have?" a mother asked
Again Averman and Russ looked at each other and then back at the people.
"A lot" Averman answered
"Do you-" a child started to ask
"Ok on with the tour. Down here is the changing rooms" Averman said leading them down the hall.
"Averman do you realize that we haven't answered one of their questions?" Russ asked
"What are you talking about I just did" Averman said
"No I mean answer with the right full answer not just 'a lot' or 'you'll find out when you come here' or 'it's a surprise,'" Russ said
"Well if you put it that way . . ." Averman said

"And to your left is the last of the history rooms where we bring the past to life" Dwayne said
"Now if you will all turn to your right and follow me up the flight of stairs I will show you to our Geography department." He led the way up the stairs.
"If you please go into this room" Dwayne opened up the door "the head of the Geography department is prepared to answer any of your questions. Now remember we only have so long because we have the whole rest of the school to see" After they all went into the classroom Dwayne stood promptly by the door waiting.
"You know you could have a promising future as a tour guide," Fulton said

Connie was busy getting more cups and napkins while Guy was opening up another Tupperware container and setting out more food. When they were done they both sat down tired.
"Only one more group it's almost eight" Guy sighed
"Thank you. The torture is almost over" Connie thanked as she started to rub the back of her neck.
"Here" Guy got up and started to give Connie a massage.
"It's times like these when I remember why I kept you around for so long," Connie teased.
"So who do you think would win the Ninja Turtles or the Power Rangers?" Guy asked
"I would have to say the Ninja Turtles" Connie said "They were ninjas with their separate weapons and they trained a lot and they were like super strong because they were mutants"
"What? The Power Rangers would beat them so easily" Guy said still massaging Connie's neck and shoulders "They had the separate weapons, then the gun and then they morphed into that huge machine thing."
"I guess you're right" Connie said, though she didn't see it Guy was beaming because he was right but what he didn't know was that Connie from the start knew that the Power Rangers could kick the Turtles asses but she wanted Guy to feel like he could win once and while. Usually they just ended up tying.

"Ha rock" Paige banged Charlie's scissor shaped hand lightly. They were both sitting on the table facing each other cross-legged.
"Best five out of eight" Charlie said
"I don't think so, my hand is starting to cramp up" Paige said shaking her hand uncrossed her legs and swung them over the side of the table.
"I don't know why we have to stay here the last people have already gotten their schedules and pins" Charlie complained uncrossing his own legs and swinging them over the side as well.
"Oh the little Duckies can't handle staying up past their bed time?" Riley asked with phony concern
"You realize that you're a Duck too?" Paige asked standing up "Or did that slip your mind?"
"You're a little firecracker aren't you?" Riley asked bringing his hand up to her face and stoking her chin "But you sure are pretty"
She slapped his hand away said "I'm only giving you one warning. If you touch me again I will hurt you"
"I'll take that into consideration" Riley said and when Paige turned to sit down he grabbed her ass.
She promptly turned and punched him in the face.
"What the fuck?" Riley brought his hand up to where she punched him just below his left eye.
"I warned you" Paige said
"You are going to get into so much trouble" Riley said
"Is that before or after I say that you sexually harassed me?" Paige asked
"Fine I won't tell if you don't" Riley offered still cupping his cheek.
"Good" Paige agreed. Riley walked through the doors and mire seconds later Bombay walked in looking very upset.
"Paige?" Bombay asked angrily
"Yes Coach?" Paige asked with fake innocence.
"What did you just do to Riley?" he asked
"What makes you think that I did that?" Paige asked
"Don't lie to me," Bombay ordered
"I never lied I was just asking you a question" Paige said
"Yes a question that you are avoiding answering" Bombay said
"Which question would that be?" Paige asked
"What did you do to Riley?" Bombay asked. Charlie had been quite for the whole time watching Paige and Bombay but then spoke up.
"Don't you mean what did Riley do to her to make her do that to him?" Charlie asked
"What are you- What did he do to you?" Bombay asked
"Nothing important. I dealt with it" Paige shrugged.
"He grabbed her ass after she told him not to touch her" Charlie told Bombay.
"He did? Paige that's something important" Bombay said
"Possibly but I don't think that he's going to try it again" Paige said. "Look are we done with this whole Open House thing?"
"Yes I just came to tell you two and Connie and Guy that you could go" Bombay said
"Great see yah" Paige grabbed her jacket and walked out. Charlie quickly realizing that she was leaving took his own jacket and followed her out the door.
"Oh no they don't" Bombay said and he too left the building.
"Paige you aren't just leaving that easy" Bombay said when he caught up to them.
"Why not?" she asked
"Because . . . you should be punished in some way . . . or something" Bombay said flustered
"Why because she prevented someone from touching her when she didn't want to be touched?" Charlie asked his anger slightly rising. "It's called self defense."
"I never thought about it that way" Bombay said.
"Yeah well-" Charlie was cut off.
"Charlie thank you for your help but I don't really need it" Paige said, "You shouldn't get involved with this"
"Alright" Charlie said cooling off.
"So Coach do you still feel the need to punish me?" Paige asked rolling her eyes sighing.
"No. I see your side of the story," Bombay answered
"And you aren't going to report anything?" Paige asked
"No I don't think we would need to get the school involved" Bombay said.
"I meant to my parents" Paige corrected.
"I can't promise that" Bombay said
"Fine" Paige turned and walked away. Charlie then turned and followed while Bombay went back into the school and phoned a certain pair of parents.
"Where are you going Paige?" Charlie asked
"Away" Paige answered.
"Are you ok?" Charlie asked after a while
"Of course I -" she stopped her self when she looked into his eyes. "No I'm not. I don't want my parents to know that I punched a guy in the face"
"If you explained to them what happened I-" Charlie started to say
"No you don't understand. They won't care they'll just see it as me going back to my old ways" she explained.
"Which are?" Charlie asked
Paige stopped and looked down the street to see a bus coming. The bus stopped at their corner and Paige grabbed Charlie's arm.
"Come on" she pulled him into the bus put two tokens in and took him to the back of the bus, pulled him into his seat and looked out the window.
"Um Paige where are we going?" Charlie asked
"Where ever the bus is going" she answered simply still looking out of the dirty window.
"Why?" Charlie asked
"Oh come on your telling me that you've never just wanted to get onto a bus and see where it takes you?" Paige asked turning to face him.
"You mean to other bus stops and subway stations?" Charlie asked
"No we just sit and then wait and see if we find any place that we want to get off at and if we don't then we can either go on the subway or call a cab" Paige said "Do you have your cell phone on you?"
"Yep" he answered
"Then we're set. Unless you'd rather get off and go back to Eden Hall" Paige offered with a mischievous grin.
"No I think I'll stay" Charlie said
"Great" Paige smiled
