Disclaimer: I own it all! All I say!!! All right, so according to the dudes in the white coats that try to keep me in this padded white wall I don't own it… I'm just in denial. Stupid doctors.

"Sorry that plan didn't work out." Nick apologized, for what seemed like the thousandth time. They had not been able to get into the amusement park, as one might imagine. So instead, Father and Daughter had just driven around the strip for a while.

"Its ok. It was a last minute decision. They always fail." She laughed lightly. "I remember last year my trainer came up with this split second decision to take us on a trail ride. The pony I was riding took off and well, lets just say I ended up being hung by a tree branch. I was literally a redneck for a week." She finished with a giggle.

"Oh, I uh, wasn't aware that riding was that dangerous." Nick said with a frown. Although he had only known this girl for less then a day, he still felt very protective of his daughter.

"Yeah. I have fallen so many times. Man, sometimes it hurts to. Oh well, life sucks. You just got to deal." She responded with a shrug. Nick chuckled at these words. As they entered the small home, he glanced at the clock.

"Wow. Sara's going to be back here soon." He commented, trying to keep his voice from becoming to excited. Kay grinned, not buying his whole "I don't care act."

"You still love her, don't you? Your still in love with My Mom." Nick just stared, his mouth hanging slightly open. Kay just smiled at his shocked expression. "If it makes you feel any better, I'd be willing to bet my last breath that she feels the same way. But hey, what do I know." Nick didn't get the chance to respond, for a knock at the door interrupted them.

"Speak of the devil." Murmured Nick as he made his way to the door.

"Hey Nick."

"Hey Sara. Um, do you want to come in?"

"Sure."

"Hi Mom."

"Oh, hi Kay. Were you good?" Kay rolled her eyes.

"No mom, I set lots of random things on fire, ran off, got married and am building a styrophome boat and sailing to England to become a bum." Nick chuckled at the girls comment. Sara just shook her head.

"Thanks so much for watching her Nick." Sara smiled gratefully up at the man as he pulled her into a hug.

"Ewww, ok, don't want to see this. Umm, I think I'm going to go outside and uh, wait for you two to finish up here." Kay said, edging towards the door.

"Bye Kay."

"Yeah, I'll be there in a moment."

"Sure you will. Just don't take all night."

"Kay!"

"I'm going, I'm going." As the door closed, Nick and Sara looked at each other, suddenly aware that they were still holding onto each other. Slowly, very slowly, their lips met in a soft kiss. The kiss deepened as Nick pulled Sara even closer to him.

"Wow." Was all she could say as they broke the kiss.

"Yeah. You can say that again." Nick managed to say, before he was pulled into another deep kiss.

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

Meanwhile, Kay stood out side, looking out onto the street. Something caught her eye and she turned, to get a closer look. She was suddenly aware of a presence behind her, but before she could turn to see who was there, a pair of hands roughly grabbed her arms.

"Don't move, or I kill you and your family." Whispered a rough voice. Fear overwhelmed her, like that of a claustrophobic man, trapped within the clutches of a small, dark space, with the walls closing in on him (A/N: He-he. Looky, it's an epic simile! Yeah! Go me! In case you cant tell, we have English exams this week and that's one of our words and yeah. Lol.) A shiver ran up her spine as the cool metal of the knife pressed up against her thyroid gland (located in neck. The parathyroid gland is on it. Yes… biology exams this week to. Curse that endocrine system.) As he forced her into a waiting car.

A/N: told ya I had a plan to have a little plot twist. Well, what do you think? Oh, and the story about the pony and the tree branch, it actually happened to me. Yeah, very painful, not fun. Lol. And the thing about sailing to England to be a bum, well, that's actually a friend of mine's plan. Lol. Well, REVIEW!!!!
