Chapter 2: The Barbeque
Authors Note: Thanks to everyone who reviewed, and to Miss Jasadin I wanted to thank you for inviting me to post on your site but I don't think I will be making this a crossover. At least not this version, there could be another.
Disclaimer: See first chapter.
The barbeque was in full swing by the time CJ, Donna, and Zoey arrived.
"CJ, we're late. You said we wouldn't be late! You lied." Zoey accused as she hopped out of CJ's jeep.
"Yeah, well they're Josh's friends and family, how much time could you want to spend with them." CJ asked as if she had intended to be late the entire time.
"I could care less about them, I want to see Charlie."
"You still haven't told your parents about him have you?" Donna questioned with a knowing smile.
"No." She responded with her head down, and a guilty smile firmly in place.
"You've been dating for like two months! That's insane, I wasn't dating Josh 2 hours before everyone in the district knew!" Donna exclaimed.
"Well I just really, really want my parents to like him. So I'm building him up as a really good friend, but I'm pretty sure my mom knows." Zoey told her friends as they walked along the path that led to the back yard where the party was being held.
"Why do you say that?"
"She caught us making out."
"Well then I think it's safe to say that the jig is up."
While the girls were still walking and talking, Josh came up behind Donna and put his arms around her.
"Hey Josh" She replied automatically.
"Now, how did you know it was me?"
"There aren't many other people that grope me in public."
"Are there others that grope you in private?" He questioned with a fake worried look on his face.
"Shhh, you aren't supposed to know about them." She said turning around in his arms and kissing him.
"Oh gross. Could we keep the PDA's to a minimum, please." Complained CJ with a smile. They both knew that she liked them as a couple, but she did have a reputation to protect.
"You're just saying that because you don't have a boyfriend. You'll notice that Zoey doesn't have a problem with it, and you know why? -Because she has a boyfriend. Tell me again why you don't have a boyfriend?" Josh asked very confused, CJ was hot and he would have said so out loud if the comment wouldn't have gotten him beaten up.
"It's because I have other stuff to worry about then whether Freddy is cheating on me with some cheerleader."
"Why don't you go on a date with Danny Concanon? He really likes you, and he's good at the flirting."
"Because he IS a geek!" He's the Vice President of the Audio/Visual club. And the only reason he's not President is because and even bigger geek beat him!"
"CJ, You're the President of the student body, you are kind of a geek yourself." Josh tried to help the situation out, turns out he didn't really.
"Yeah, but I'm the cool kind of geek that's going to become President one day. He's the kind that's going to work for the National Enquirer and spend all his time trying to figure out if Michael Jackson is really an Alien."
"Hey, when you're President can I be Vice President?" Donna asked, changing subjects with her excitement at the prospect of running for office someday.
"You should be my Chief of Staff, so you know we could actually be in the same room without have twenty secret service surrounding us in a huddle."
"Sounds good to me." Donna said with a happy smile.
"Oh God help us." Said Toby as eh walked up to the group. "Were going to have these two running the country, remind me to move to Canada when you win."
"I bet you twenty bucks you vote for us." The confidence of her statement radiating off of her.
"It's possible that I won't like you as an actual politician, but I went to high school with you so I'll probably vote for you just so I can say I know the President."
"Why don't you ever smile Tobus?"
"Because when you call me Tobus it makes me think you don't remember my name, ant that just makes me sad, Claudia Jean."
"That's Bullshit."
"CRAP! Uncle Dale's coming!" Josh said very panicked.
Everyone turned to look the same way as Josh and saw a very large, bald man with a braided beard that reached his chest. He was holding a can of Coors in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
"Hey, Josheee." Uncle Dale slurred as he put an arm around Josh's shoulder in a drunkenly father manner.
"Hello Uncle Dale."
"Well ain't ya goin at introduccce me to yer friends?" Josh was pretty sure that he'd never seen his uncle sober a day in his life.
"Sure Dale, this is Toby, CJ, Zoey, and Donna. Guys this is my Uncle Dale." Josh's uncle shook each of their hands and gave Donna a kiss on the hand.
"Well isa plesur to meet ya!" He said giving Donna one of the creepiest smiles she'd every witnessed. "Especcialy youuu!"
Donna had to pry her fingers from his hand, and while doing so gave Josh a pleading look to get this creep away from her.
"Hey Uncle Dale I think Dave's son Larry, has some grass." It was a very well known fact that the only thing that Dale liked more than blondes was weed. And the only thing he liked better than weed, was money to buy more weed. He was a very simple man to figure out.
"You serious?" The question didn't matter he was already gone by the time Josh would have answered.
Donna turned around and smacked Josh on the head. "Alright, I'll accept my punishment like a man, but in my own defense, I did warn you at lunch about him.
"Lets go get something to eat." Said Zoey, and they all headed off in the direction of the food.
Alright well that's it! Press the GO button and tell me what you think. I know this isn't as good as it could have been, but I wanted to hurry and get this up. Thanks once again to everyone who reviewed the first chapter!
