"Freaky Friday"

Ella slowly sat up on her bed as Kirsten entered the room.

Kirsten had a small pumpkin with her and she placed it on the table beside Ella.

"What's that?" Ella asked confused.

Kirsten looked at her briefly before Hannah interrupted them.

"Hey are you two behaving yourselves?"

"Hannah banana I'm always good, you know that". Hannah took her blood pressure and placed a thermometer into her ear.

She gently squeezed her hand and looked at Kirsten.

"Kirsten can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Sure, Ella would you do me a massive favour. Sandy really wants you to call him, because he wants you to teach him a song"

Ella reached for Kirsten's cell phone.

"Sandy is a big silly Billy but I love him"

Kirsten smiled as she looked at Hannah's face and closed the door.

"Ok give me the bad news"

"What makes you think its bad news?"

"Hannah, it's written all over your face, I can read you like a book"

"Well lying is not my strong point! Kirsten honestly Ella is running a small fever, it's nothing serious but I don't think it's a good idea to take her to your house tonight"

"Oh" Kirsten's voice sounded disappointed.

"You know its ok, if Ella can't come to our house for Halloween we will bring Halloween here. We should do something special for all the kids, and I just so happen to know a boy who will be more than willing to dress up as superman"

"Kirsten that's a great idea, are you sure though, I mean there are a lot of kids here?"

"Nonsense it will be brilliant. I get the kids, and Sandy, and the girls. We will have a memorable night"

"Maybe your dad could come too? Your mother was always trying to get him to come but he never showed. Perhaps now is his chance?"

"Hmm, maybe this year we will get a Chrissmukah miracle early"

"Chrissmukah"

"Don't worry Seth will explain everything when the time comes. Apparently this year it's going to sweep the nation. Sandy and I didn't really know how to raise Seth" Kirsten and Hannah laughed in unison but a scream from Ella startled them.

They both ran into their room and Kirsten began frantically examining Ella.

"Ella honey are you ok, are you sore, are you sick, what's the matter?"

"There's a scary monster in Sandy's office I had to scare him away" Her giggling was uncontrollable and Kirsten could hear Sandy laughing down the phone.

"Honey can I talk to Sandy for a minute?"

A small pout appeared on Ella's lips."

"Ok, but only for a minute, I have to tell him a big secret"

"Ok I promise" Hey sweetie will you meet me at home ASAP… No everything is fine we just need to organise something… I love you too" She hung up the phone and Ella slapped her two hands down on the bed.

"Oh honey he had to go, his boss was getting mad at him"

"But I had a secret to tell him"

"Well honey you can tell me your secret"

"No I can't its private"

"Really" Kirsten laughed

"Yes, only Sandy can find out, im sorry"

"Its ok, I'll tell you what, why don't we carve a scary face into this pumpkin and then I have to go home for a while but how about later I bring Sandy back here to see you"

A small smile appeared on her rosy cheeks

"Yay, oh and Kirsten can Ryan come too, I really like Ryan. It's really nice you're his new mommy, he is very lucky"

"Well I'm very lucky to have Ryan as my son; I love him very much, and do you like Seth?"

"Seth is funny although he told my friend he is superman but he is too tiny to be superman, Ryan could be superman, Seth is more like robin"

Kirsten laughed out loud "Robin"

"You know Robin from Batman and Robin"

"Oh yes I do"

"I like Summer and Marissa too, Summer taught me loads of stuff when we were at the beach"

"What did she teach you"?

"She taught me to ignore people who say black is the new pink. She said that Brad Pitt is "hot" and that sea fish are "eww"

Kirsten loved how Ella was mocking Summer, she got the "eww" saying to perfection.

"Ok well we better hurry up and carve this pumpkin because Sandy said he couldn't wait to hug you and me. Why does Seth not like it when Sandy kisses you?"

Kirsten's face began to blush; she was not sure what to say to Ella but just replied, "Oh, it's because Seth thinks we are too old"

"Your not that old, I mean look at George Clooney he is really really old and grey. Your still not grey either is Sandy"

"Thanks honey… I think" she laughed quietly to her self and then

She gently guided Ella's hand and they began carving the pumpkin.


Sandy pulled up into the driveway and noticed his wife's range rover parked there. He was stepping out of his car when someone's hands covering his eyes startled him. "Guess who" Kirsten whispered seductively into his ears.

"Give me a clue" he cheekily replied.

Kirsten slowly kissed his neck and nibbled at his ear.

"I think im getting warmer but still need another clue" Kirsten walked around to face Sandy, her hands still covering his eyes and she began to kiss him. Her first kiss was gently and sweet but her second kiss was more passionate.

"You know yet," she purred.

"Julie Cooper, wow what a surprise, I thought you were coming over later" Sandy had to contain himself from laughing.

"SANDY" Kirsten punched him on his arm.

She removed her hands and couldn't help but smile when he kissed her again. "Happy Halloween" he said in between kisses.

"You too, but no matter how scary I may appear on this scariest of days please don't compare me to Julie Cooper" Kirsten smirked.

Sandy kissed her again saying, "Sorry honey, I knew it was you, I know how your hands feel and your kisses and your scent"

Kirsten blushed slightly. Twenty years later he still managed to make her go weak at the knees.

"Well since you love me so much" she continued to kiss him.

"I have a proposition for you"

"Oh oh" Sandy pulled away from her mouth slightly.

"How do you feel about a party" she kissed him again.

"A party, honey I thought Ella was coming here tonight"

"She is a little sick, but I was thinking we could gather up the kids and go to the hospital and throw all the kids a party. I think it's only fair that Ella shares the ultimate Halloween experience with her other friends".

Sandy kissed her again quickly "Honey that's a great idea, have you told the kids already"

"Yeah Seth is already in there. Summer has insisted on dressing him up and Marissa is dressing Ryan up"

"Well this should be some party"

"Im going to ask my dad as well. I really want him to meet Ella"

Sandy kissed her again and left a trail of kisses down her neck and arm.

"You go call him, I got stuff for Ella earlier I'm just going to wrap it up for her" Kirsten smiled gently as her husband walked in the front door. A conversation with her father on Halloween night, now that is a scary thought.


Kirsten began to dial her father's number.

"Caleb Nichol" he replied

"Hey dad it's me"

"Hi kiki, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing great; I was just wondering would you like to come to a Halloween party"

"A party huh, well im not doing anything else tonight sure, I'll bring the Merlot"

"That would be great, the party is at the Children's Hospital"
"The children's hospital" he asked slightly disappointed

"Yes, Dad I know you don't like the thought of sick children, but these kids are amazing, especially this one little girl Ella, it would mean so much to me dad please"

Caleb couldn't help but listen to his daughters pleading.

"Ok but I only shall attend for a short while. Can Julie come too, maybe you can get one of the kids to entertain her, she keeps asking me how does she look, and I honestly can't tell if she's dressed up or not"

Kirsten laughed over the phone.

"Sure dad the more the merrier"

"Kiki" he asked.

"Yes dad

"These kids can't drink merlot can't they not?"

"No dad but if you bring some candy and soda's im sure they will be every bit as grateful"

"Ok, ill see you soon"

Kirsten hung up the phone and was surprised how civil that conversation was, maybe he dad was changing, and not such a cold hearted man. She looked at a picture of her mother and father that was on the shelf of her office. She couldn't help but smile and wondered if her mother was proud of her.

"MOM" she heard Seth call upstairs.

"What is it Seth" she shouted.

"Summer is trying to turn me into a girl, were you and dad talking to her"

Kirsten laughed as she looked at the pictures of Seth as a baby.

"Honey ill be right there"

"Ok but hurry mom, eye liner scares me"


"KIRSTEN, SANDY, RYAN, SUMMER, MARISSA, wow what a surprise" Ella shouted ecstatically from her bed.

"Hey kiddo" Kirsten walked over to her and Ella held out her arms for Kirsten to lift her up.

"We have a surprise for you Ella" Sandy said. He gave her a gift bag and Ella excitedly began unwrapping the wrapping paper.

"WOW" she was speechless. She pulled out a long silk pink gown with diamonds all over it, a small tiara that sparkled, a pink wand that lit up when shook and a small pair of white shoes with pink flowers.

Kirsten walked towards her husband and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"You're amazing do you know that?"

He smiled back "No but you can remind me later" he winked. Kirsten laughed and the couple watched as Summer dressed Ella in her dressing up outfit.

"See Ella I told you, you're a little princess" Sandy said gently.

Ella looked at him and handed out the tiara. "Would you put this on me please".

Sandy walked over to her and gently placed it on her head. Her smile was so big and her laughing was contagious. She looked so pretty and stood up and slowly twirled around.

"Summer this is hot" she shouted.

Summer and Marissa laughed and Kirsten couldn't help but take out her camera and take some pictures.

A small knock interrupted the laughter and Caleb Nichol walked in with Julie Cooper in tow.

"Who are you" Ella asked.

"Ella, this is my father Caleb" Kirsten smiled at her father.

Caleb walked over to Ella and held out his hand, but Ella leaped in for a hug.

Caleb was shocked at the girl's movements but gladly accepted the hug and smiled.

"SUPERMAN HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING" Seth jumped into the room and was followed by many children.

He was wearing a superman's custom and he went over and lifted Ella up. She giggled and whispered into Seth's ear "you're stronger than I thought Seth Cohen"

Seth smiled and escorted her to the playroom.


All the children were dressed up. Some as ghosts, pirates, witches and various cartoon characters, but Ella really stood out. The tiara glistened in the light and her laughter was intoxicating.

Ryan was painting other kids faces. Seth was lifting children up pretending to fly with them. Summer and Marissa were dancing with some of the younger children; Julie was handing out candy while Sandy was listening to Ella's secret. Kirsten signed a sigh or relief and Caleb's words interrupted her.

"Kiki, you and your mother were both right, this place is amazing"

Kirsten smiled at her father. She was impressed that her father had the courage to come here tonight and was even more impressed that he took time out and actually enjoyed himself.

"Thanks Dad, I really love it here, especially Ella"

Caleb looked at Ella who was now singing a song with Sandy.

"She's a great kid, and obviously thinks a lot of you and Sandy, take as much time off work that you need, that little girl needs you more than the Newport Group"

"Dad, thank you so much, Mom would have been proud of you for coming here tonight"

Caleb smiled and gently put his arm around his daughters shoulder. A young boy came up and started to tug at Caleb's trousers.

"Wow where did you get your costume I want that scary face next year"?

Kirsten exploded into laughter and Caleb looked on at the little boy quiet amused.

"I'm not wearing a costume" he replied silently.

"Really?" the little boy questioned.

"Really" Caleb laughed, "how about you paint my face to make it even scarier" he suggested.

"Ok" the little boy grabbed Caleb's hand and pulled him towards the face painting area.

Kirsten again looked around her and jumped when she felt a kiss on each side of her cheeks. She looked around and was greeted by Sandy and Ella.

Kirsten lifted Ella from Sandy's grasp and Sandy put his arm around the two of them.

"This is the best party ever, I love my dress and stuff, can I keep them?" Ella asked

"Sure you can princess, they look lovely on you"

Ryan approached the three of them and asked Ella did she want to help paint some scary pictures.

Ella kissed Sandy on the cheek and Kirsten on the cheek before climbing into Ryan's arms. She surprised Ryan with a kiss on his nose and Ryan kissed her nose back before carrying her off.

Sandy wrapped his arms around Kirsten and kissed her temple. "Well I have to say this is the best Newport party I have been to in years, the younger newspie generation"

Kirsten laughed and turned around to face him. "Thank you, for everything, I couldn't have done this without you" She kissed him deeply on the lips. She pulled away from his grasp and Sandy wrapped his arms around her stomach.

"Kirsten, earlier I saw you looking at pictures of your parents in your office and I know what you were thinking. Believe me when I say your mother is probably up there now smiling down on you with absolute pride"

Kirsten leaned into his chest and Sandy kissed her temple.

"I love you"

"I love you too. Honey do you think we could persuade your father to dress up as Father Christmas at Chrissmukah?"

Kirsten chuckled "You never know, a few miracles have already come true for me already this year Im just waiting on one more"

"And that is"

"That Ella is enjoying her life, is happy and we are making a difference to her life"

"Honey I think that miracle has already come true"
