Dolcegrazia- Sorry for the confusion. I realized kind of late that Danni and Dave were really confusing names to name characters for amc. Anyway, they are twins and the kids of Jake Martin and some OC wife, so they're Jamie's cousins. Sam and Maddie are Sam and Maddie grey- Edmund and Maria's kids. Ren is Lorenzo Santos- Hayley and Mateo's son. In this story Hayley and Mateo live in PV, and Edmund never died. Ben is an OC- not related to anyone. And Tina is- well, I'm sure you know.

It was one of those mornings. Tina Palmer didn't want to have to wake up, but if she didn't get started on her econ homework, she would never finish it. She just kept in her head the thought of Thanksgiving. It was a few days away, and she had been planning on going home, but her mom got another lead. She was sick and tired of her mother's leads. So instead, she was spending Thanksgiving at Maddie's house, with the entire Grey/Marick/Santos clan. Maddie was extremely excited because her Uncle Dimitri would be visiting- apparently she hadn't seen him in years. Tina rolled onto her side, and looked at Maddie's bed.

It was empty. She sat up, shocked. Maddie had never spent the night out before. Tina got up and ran to the bathroom. Maybe Maddie had just gotten up early and had taken a shower or something. No such luck. As she walked back to her room, Tina thought back on last night. She, Maddie, and Dave had gone to a party at Theta. She had left early because Ben showed up. She didn't want to be anywhere near him.

She grabbed her cell phone, and started to dial Maddie's cell, when her door opened. She whirled around.

"Maddie," Tina exclaimed, relieved. She looked really tired, and really hungover, but generally okay. "What happened? Where were you?"

Maddie sat down on her bed. "I saw Dave last night," she said quietly. "He was with Callie Henderson."

"That whore on the first floor?" Tina asked.

"Yeah," Maddie whispered. "They left together."

"Oh, Maddie, I'm so sorry," Tina whispered. She went to hug her friend.

"Don't," Maddie said sharply. "I did something, and you're not gonna like me."

"What?"

"I was really drunk," she cried. "And I saw Ben. And that's where I was last night." Tina felt like she had been slapped in the face. Yes, she had been avoiding Ben for a month now. But that's only because she liked him and Maddie knew that.

"I have to go," Tina said quietly. Maddie just cried. Tina grabbed a sweatshirt, and her car keys, and ran out of the room. She whipped open her cell phone, and dialed Danni's number.

"Yeah?" Danni asked, when she picked up.

"Danni where are you?" Tina asked, near tears. "I need to talk to you."

"I'm at my cousin Jamie's," she told Tina. "Well, his mom's place. Jamie and I were just having an early lunch, and then were gonna watch some football. Do you want to come over?"

"Will they mind?" Tina asked.

"Of course not." They hung up, and Tina headed for Brooke English's house. It wasn't hard to find.

"What the hell happened?" Danni asked, when Tina knocked on the door. She led her into the living room. Jamie had made himself scarce in the kitchen.

"Your brother hooked up with some skank so Maddie hooked up with Ben," Tina told her. Danni enveloped her in a hug.

"I'm sorry," she told her. "God, I could kill Dave."

"It's not his fault," Tina told her. "It's not even really Maddie's fault. It's Ben's."

"Ben's?"

"Yeah, he shouldn't be allowed to lead me on, when he really likes Maddie," she told Danni. "I just, I can't stand to look at either one of them right now. I don't know how I'm gonna get through Thanksgiving."

"You can come to my place," Danni suggested. "Well, my Grandparent's. I'm sure they'd love to have you!"

"You think?"

"I know it."
