A/n: Hey people. I'd told you I'd tell you my plan so here it is. I'm making this story in to a trilogy. Each part has 10 chapters kind of the whole past, present and future thing. this being the past or the summer after "west end girls" the next set is the school year and I don't know where the final part will be as of yet. this series is gonna be a love bow-tie thing.. wait just read it.

To my adoring fans: Don't worry I do plan on updating my other fics... I'm just so inspired for this one

disclaimer: You know what- I DO OWN DEGRASSI. the actors secretly work for me and thus I am able to create these stories. ok so maybe I don't but how many times do I have to say it.

Manny raced home after her "encounter" with Paige. what the hell? the thought vibrated through her mind as she tried to figure out what to do next. But honestly, what could she do? the kiss already happened and Paige claimed that it was the painkillers making her act weird. So really there was nothing to do. This was a one time accident. Despite the sadness that this creating in her for some reason, Manny repeated the thought over and over. "Ugh, PAIGE!"

"I know she was such a bitch" a voice interrupted

Manny whirled around to catch none other than her best friend Emma Nelson wearing her trademark face of worry. "Em hey"

"I talked to my mom and she agreed to let me stay over tonight." Emma said sitting down."We could try for the 'whole bond of sisterhood' again"

"Right, but um that was us against guys. plus didn't really last" Manny reminded her while laying down on her bed.

"So what do you want to do?"

"I don't know. maybe ice cream and Johnny Depp?" (A/N: yum)

"Sounds like a plan. I'll grab the ice cream." and with that Emma headed out.

"Let me, I hid a stash of Chunky Monkey in the back of the freezer."

As Manny came down the stairs, the doorbell rang. When she opened it, Paige breezed past her in the living room. "Come right in" Manny stated sarcastically.

Paige turned and looked at her. " We need to talk."

"Understatement of the year. Wait actually it's not. You said it was painkillers."

"That explains why I kissed you but it doesn't explain why you kissed me back."

Manny looked up at the stairs. She couldn't take a chance of Emma hearing this. "Can we do this somewhere else I have company." As if on cue Emma came rushing downstairs. "Manny is Broken Window okay?" She turned and look at Paige. "What are you doing here?" she asked coldly.

"Hun, you can leave now." Paige retorted.

"And leave Manny anywhere near you? I don't think so"

"And how exactly do you plan on protecting her? Connections from the ravine?"

Manny sighed There goes any chance of telling her what happened tonight. " Em, it's ok. I think I should just talk to her tonight so I wont have to do it for the rest of the summer. After all we're going to have to deal with each other on the sprit squad next year. I'll call you later ok?"

Emma looked at Manny for awhile before nodding and heading out the door. Manny looked at Paige. " Was that really necessary?"

"Yes".

"well I would offer for us to go upstairs but since-"

"- you broke my leg-"

"since you cant make it up there, do you want to go to the guest room in the back?"

"Lead the way"

Manny did just that and soon as she and Paige sat down, the phone rang. "Hello? Oh hey Mom. The dance? It was..unique. Tomorrow afternoon? ok yeah maybe Emma. Alright. Love you too. Bye."

"All alone are we?"

"Paige-"

"You never answered my question."

" that's because I don't know the answer" Manny responded tiredly.

"Did you like it?" Paige asked nervously.

Manny stared at her for a minute. "Yeah I did." She answered shyly.

"ok so what do we do now?"

Manny smiled. She figured it was time to throw caution to the wind. "Let's decide tomorrow." Slowly she leaned in to Paige and kissed her. Paige was caught off- guard but only for a minute as she mange to slide back on the guest bed pulling Manny with her. The feeling was heavenly and she never wanted to stop this. As the friction between them increased, she didn't give a second thought when she felt Manny's hands reaching for her zipper. She just wanted to lose herself in the moment. After all Manny was right.

They'd deal in the morning.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paige stirred first in the morning feeling... happy. She looked around and saw Manny sleeping quietly next to her and smiled. After putting back on her clothes she wrote a note for Manny to meet her at the Dot an hour before auditions for Kevin Smith's movie. Then she called Dylan to pick her up. He arrived ten minutes later.

"Hey Paigey" He greeted ruffling her hair.

" Don't call me that."

"Ok then tell me what's going on."

"I will after you buy me breakfast."

They drove to a cozy diner and Paige explained everything from the dress being pulled off Manny to her own coming off later that night. Dylan stared at her in silence.

"Ok then so what does this mean. I mean other than the fact that you're bisexual." He asked before sipping his coffee.

Paige slumped in the booth. "That's just it, I don't know. I think I love Matt and I don't want to give that up but at the same time last night was-"

Dylan jumped up. "Please don't give me details on you sex life." Paige laughed. "Well you going to have to deal, but I do have good news."

"What? you just saved a bunch of money by switching you car insurance to geico?" she asked sarcastically.

"No, the good news was that you have the summer to figure it out."

Paige smiled at the thought that maybe she didn't have to solve everything right now.
