Phoebe tried to push her way closer to the fight, but wasn't doing such a great job of it. She noticed Paige and waved to her, "Do you know who's fighting?"

Paige shrugged, "No idea but I do know it's two girls."

"How?"

"Cause I heard someone say it was a cat fight." Paige answered, sarcastically. The crowd in front of the sisters and their dates gasped followed by a loud yell, "Someone stop them." It sounded like Weiss. He seemed to be worried, probably if whoever was fighting broke something, that would mean he would be blamed. "Dude, do something."

"I'm trying," An aggravated male voice answered, "She keeps hitting me when I get too close."

"So you get a few bruises. If they break something, I'm dead and I'm taking you down with me." Weiss replied.

"You stop them, then." The second guy answered.

"Paige, Glen, Phoebe, Cole, over here." All four looked over to who whispered and saw Richard. He gestured for them to follow and with a shrug, they did. Somehow Richard managed to separate the crowd enough so Paige, Glen, Phoebe, Cole, and himself could brush past. Phoebe and Paige were the first to catch a glimpse of who was fighting. Both gasped and stared in disbelief.

Weiss's party - ten minutes earlier

Sydney laughed and stuffed yet another cookie into her mouth, making a face a Vaughn. "You know if you keep eating those, you'll end up with a pot belly and giant ass." He said, watching her down the cookies faster than anyone he had ever seen before.

Sydney finished chewing what was in her mouth before answering, "So I'll just go for a two mile run everyday to work off all the fat and you can keep me company."

Vaughn's jaw dropped, "Why me?"

"Because you gave me the cookies." Sydney answered, eating another one.

"Only because you begged me to bring them."

"You didn't have to bring them," She countered.

"You know I can't refuse you anything." She smiled and said nothing.

"Hey man," Weiss said to Vaughn, coming up to the couple, "Hey, Syd, you could be the new cookie monster eating all those." Sydney made a face at him, and defiantly ate another cookie. "Good luck with her when she freaks over all the weight gain." He joked to Vaughn.

"Maybe I should drag the both of you with me." Sydney said, innocently.

"Drag us where?" Weiss asked.

"For a very long, hard, treacherous run," She answered, a sly smile on her lips.

"You wouldn't." Weiss answered, with a shake of his head.

"I'm already forcing Vaughn to come with me, it wouldn't be hard to bring you along for the ride."

"Yes, but Vaughn is your little puppy dog and I am not the one in love with you."

"What?" Sydney questioned, forgetting all about the run and cookies. Vaughn, in love with her? It couldn't be, could it? She knew that he cared for her but thought it was always a friend kind of love and he had just recently developed a crush on her.

Vaughn shot Weiss a glance to shut the hell up but Weiss didn't need Vaughn to tell him that he had made a mistake. "Uh, nothing, I didn't say anything. I didn't say that Vaughn's in love with you." Vaughn glared at Weiss again, and Weiss mentally kicked himself again, "I mean he's not in love, it's just a longing." Sydney's eyebrows went higher than before, hearing his stuttering, "I mean, it's not just a longing, he cares about you, he really does."

"Weiss, shut up." Vaughn snapped and Weiss complied.

Sydney turned her attention to Vaughn, "Maybe you can explain better." Vaughn gulped and nodded but didn't have the chance to get a word out.

"So, you broke up with me to go out with this slut."

Sydney's face immediately went hard hearing Lauren's words. She gave Vaughn a look that said they would talk about it later and turned to Lauren. "That's cocky words for someone who was sleeping around."

Lauren's cocky smile fell, "Well, at least I didn't have swoop in and snatch a man out of someone else's lap."

"Oh please, Vaughn gladly ran away from you."

Lauren's eyes hardened, "And yet he stayed with me for what, over a year and half, even though he longed to be with you." Sydney looked surprised, "Oh yes, I knew that he had some infatuation with you for quite a while now. I'm just surprised that you didn't realize it. I've never seen someone so blind."

Sydney glared at Lauren and losing control on her temper, she reached out and ripped Lauren's hoop earring out as hard as she could.

Lauren gasped, and her hand flew immediately to her ear. Blood appeared on her fingers as Sydney threw the earring to the ground. "You'll pay for that bitch." Lauren retaliated by grabbing a fistful of Sydney's hair and yanked down hard.

Sydney held back the gasp of pain she felt and landed a punch to Lauren's eye. "Bring it on," Sydney hissed, throwing another punch at Lauren.

Lauren deflected it and hit Sydney in the jaw with a punch of her own. People around the noticed the cat fight starting and gathered around them, chanting "fight" over and over.

Sydney slapped Lauren across the cheek and when Lauren was distracted, kicked her feet out from under her. Lauren flew backwards and landed on her back. Sydney stood over her, panting and touching her lip gingerly where blood began to form.

In an instant Lauren was back on her feet, and grabbed Sydney around the neck from behind, cutting off Sydney's air. A gasp went through the crowd.

"Someone stop them," Weiss said, watching the fight. When no one moved forward, the turned to Vaughn and said, "Dude, do something."

"I'm trying," Vaughn answered, aggravated, "She keeps hitting me when I get too close."

"So you get a few bruises. If they break something, I'm dead and I'm taking you down with me." Weiss replied.

"You stop them, then." Vaughn answered. Weiss looked at him like he was crazy.

Sydney gasped and with a sudden burst of strength, bent over slightly and flipped Lauren over her shoulders, over her head and onto the ground with a loud thud. She was about to lunge to keep up the fight when Vaughn grabbed her around the waist and pulled her away from Lauren. Sydney fought him tooth and nail, kicking and throwing wild punches. "Let me at her."

But Vaughn held strong, pulling her farther away. "Syd, calm down."

Sark appeared out of the crowd from somewhere and caught Lauren by the waist, before she was able to lunge for Sydney.

"Dude, get her out of here." Weiss ordered to Sark.

Sark smirked, "Gladly. Come Lauren." He said, dragging a kicking Lauren through the crowd and out of the house. Only when they were gone for sure, did Vaughn loosen his grip on Sydney and she stopped struggling.

Sydney looked around at all the people crowded around her, trying to catch her breath; "Sorry." was all she said before she fled the room.

"Syd, wait." Vaughn yelled running after her.

Piper turned to Leo standing next to her. They had been one of the more fortunate, depending on how you look at it, to get a front row view of the fight, "You don't have any crazed exes I should know about, do you?"

Leo shook his head, "Nope, most are sane and don't pick fights with me at a Halloween party." He was trying to lighten her mood and it worked for she laughed.

Paige and Glen exchanged glances and headed back to the living room with the majority of the party to continue their dance that was interrupted. Cole grabbed Phoebe's arm and tried to pull her back to the dance floor but she wouldn't budge. "Phoebe, are you okay?"

Phoebe shook her head, clearing away the shock and something else, "Yeah, fine."

"What's wrong?" He asked, concerned.

"Am I that transparent?" She asked with a weak smile.

"No, I'm just that good."

"It's nothing," She shook her head, "It's just I had this dream of a fight like that happening, a couple nights ago. I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

She smiled for real this time, touched by his concern, "Fine, now how about we finish that dance."

Vaughn found Sydney outside on Weiss's porch, head in her hands, and sitting on the edge of the stairs. He sat next to her and handed her a small bag of ice he had grabbed from the kitchen before joining her on the porch. "So that was some fight."

She took the ice and held it to her lip which was starting to swell, "I bet." She answered with a smirk, scooting closer to him.

"I gotta say, you have got some skills. I haven't seen anyone fight like that before."

She leaned over and bumped his shoulder with hers, "You think so?"

He bumped her shoulder with his, repeating the movement, "Yeah, I think so."

She smiled and leaned back into him and rested her head on his shoulder. She took the ice from her lip and lowered the hand holding it to her lap, "What kind of job do you think I could get with my 'skills'?"

"A bodyguard?" She wrinkled her nose, and shook her head no, slightly, "A mobster?" She laughed and shook her head again, "A spy?"

"Like our dads?" She asked, a hint of anger and fear in her voice.

"I guess, but you could be a double agent for the CIA inside evil organizations that call themselves SD-6 and stuff like that."

She reached for his hand, intertwining their fingers, "And you could work at the CIA too and be my case handler and we meet in odd places like a convenience store or a warehouse." She said, with a smile.

"And discuss your counter mission so we could bring down SD-6 and be together."

She sighed deeply, "Sounds exciting."

"And of course, if we're seen together in public, we'll be killed." He said, lightly.

She laughed, "You just had to add that, didn't you?"

He laughed as well, "Yeah, I did."

They sat in silence for awhile until she asked softly, "Vaughn?"

"Yeah?" He answered, just as soft.

"Are you really in love with me?"

Vaughn let out the breath he didn't know he was holding in until that moment, and nodded slightly, "Yes, Sydney, I'm in love with you."

She smiled and answered quietly, "I'm in love with you, too."

A/N: Okay, so the conversation between Vaughn and Sydney about the double agent/handler thing and SD-6 is pretty much how the first season is. So for those who haven't scene Alias, welcome to your first lesson in the world that is Alias.

Lost Darkness- Have you scene the finale for season three yet? Cause if you haven't I don't want to give away anything. I'm glad that your personalities have given you a break. Mine are getting antsy because of my birthday. They do it at Christmas too. And Halloween. They like their holidays, my personalities.

pyschokitty3- Yeah, you pretty much caught them all and pointed out on that I didn't even realize. I forgot that Rose McGowen was in Scream. I just did that because I needed to think of something and all that came to mind was the killer in Scream. So yeah. Thanks for pointing that out. And you're right. The convo between Paige and Glen about her fairy tale is just about exactly like the one in the episode. I just changed a few things because they were in bed together when they talked about it and quite frankly they're fourteen in this story and I want to keep them out of each other's beds for now. It gives me the creeps that Piper is her own great-grandmother and it makes my brain hurt. But I do like Piper says, and try not to think about it. I haven't forgotten about the double date and already have an idea of what to do with it.

syad yniar- Thanks for trying to get me Drew Fuller. My friend asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I told her Drew Fuller, Michael Vartan, and money. I think she's just going to give me money. I hate when I can't remember things, that's why I always try to have a pen near by at all times. I don't need paper, that's what my arm is for. hehe.

Charmed-angel4- I saw Newlyweds a couple months ago and it is only funny because it is so stupid. Just like the blonde bimbo. I can't stand Nick either. I say we gather the troops and threaten Kern into not letting him on the show. Now we just have to find enough people to support our cause.

JanaRose- Yeah, I had to do my research to find all those references to the shows. The internet search thingy became my best thing for about an hour before it started messing with me and I called a dirty name that I won't repeat. It's not just because I don't want to offend you, it's that the name I called it is that bad.

Jules713- maybe he is, maybe he isn't. If you truly want to know, email me and I will answer your question.

Chub- The manor chapter is coming up soon. Like two chapters maybe three. Me very happy that you like my writing. Anyway, thanks for wishing me a happy birthday and happy birthday to you too.

Princess Pinky- You have a bird? I want one but my dad draws the line at a dog, rabbit, and guinea pig. So I'm stuck. I like the Mikey thing too. Sydney is too mean to him. ::shrugs:: eh, their in love, she's allowed to be. Yeah, Cole's costume was from the episode All Halliwell's Eve, you know, he was an angel in that eppy. And since I couldn't think of anything else to make him, he was the angel. Though I'm not really a big fan of seeing Cole in a white dress thingy and those big wings. It was tramatic to see it the first time, to say the least. I don't even want to start with my rants about the producers. I'll never stop. They just keep messing with good things and I keep ranting and calling them bad names.(none that I will repeat because someone will read them and report me cause they're so bad). Oh, well. It gives me something to do.
