Angel

Summary:

Nathan's in trouble… Everything he does seems wrong; everything he says comes out bad. What he needs is someone to look after him, to watch over him… and who better to fill that position but none other than his guardian angel - Haley? Now all she has to do is come down from heaven and make things right for Nathan - without getting into trouble with the Head Angel, and without falling for the one guy she could never love.

Prologue

"So, what did the principal say? Are you gonna be suspended? Kicked out? What man? Come on, spill!" Tim said as he thumped Nathan on the shoulder.

Nathan shook his head, "Dad took care of it. It wasn't even my fault man. I mean, I didn't even know that it was Mr. Thompson's car that was parked in MY parking space."

"You're lucky you didn't get suspended. But I have to admit, what you did to that car was pure genius man!" Tim said with a grin.

"Well, I try to be original." Nathan said with a smirk. "Besides, I know Dad will pay for all the damages anyway. He always does." Nathan shrugged.

"What kind of guardian are you when you can't even get your human to behave for one week? Haley, I thought I told you to take care of this one. Remember this is your last chance. If you don't get this right, you're back scrubbing the stardust off the floors." A frustrated Gabriel said to a worried Haley as they both gazed down on earth at Haley's human ward.

"Give me some time. I promise I could make him change. He's misunderstood. He just needs a little love, that's all." Haley tried to persuade the head angel.

"Look Haley, you're a good angel, really, you are. But if you don't show me results, I'm afraid I am going to have to give your human to another guardian who can look after him better."

"No, please. Just give me three months. I promise you will see some results after that." Pleaded Haley.

"Alright, since you asked nicely, I am giving you ONE month to get him straitened out. Use whatever means possible."

"One month? But I can't---"

"Can't what, Haley?" Gabriel said with a raised eyebrow.

Haley looked down on Nathan from heaven. She knew he just needed someone who understood him. He looked so lost and lonely. Besides, Angel Gabriel said she could use any means possible…

"One month it is. I promise you won't be disappointed." Haley said with a determined smile, the wheels inside her little head already turning with ideas.

Haley stayed up all night thinking about the right kind of approach. She came up with all sorts of ideas but none as crazy and as dangerous as this last one she thought of. But, she was convinced. The only way to get through to that hardheaded, self-centered, lonely, lost little boy was to go down to earth and personally shake him out of his bad attitude.

"I would probably be breaking about 50 guardian's rules. Not to mention a hundred heavenly policies." Haley mumbled to herself. "But Angel Gabriel did say, and I quote -'use whatever means possible'. So I guess it wouldn't hurt if I went down and met the boy." She said as she gently waved her hand over the clouds and saw her ward – Nathan – sound asleep on his bed.

"He needs me." she whispered, and with a blink of an eye, she was gone.
