This is my first Drake & Josh fanfiction I ever wrote. It's posted on my site, but I thought I'd put it here as well. This story is completely written but not completely posted. In fact, I've already written up a sequel, which I will post when I finish posting this.

I don't own any of the Drake & Josh characters. I did create some characters for this fanfiction though. The song "Insensitive" is sung by Jann Arden and written by Anne Loree. No copyright infringements are intended.

Drake's got a plan. Let's see how it works out for him.

Drake ran inside his bedroom and checked to find out when his next gig was. He called up his band members and asked them a few questions. He sighed and circled a date on the calendar. His next gig was in two weeks. They needed to have the song right by then. His next thought was how he would get Cassandra to come to his gig. She was pretty upset with him. Maybe if her friends brought her? How could he talk her friends into it though? What if she still wouldn't go? He'd have to do everything he could to get her there. He knew he had to win her back. No matter what it took.

"Did you hear?" squealed one of the cheerleaders. "Drake Parker's band is playing next weekend. I am definitely going. Maybe I'll get a date out of it."

Cassandra rolled her eyes and opened her locker. She'd heard a lot about Drake's gig the next weekend. She didn't want to go. Why should she? After everything he had done to her, she was not going to go support him like that. Would it really make her happy to go? Probably not. She continued rummaging through her locker for her books. Drake came up behind her.

"Hey Cassandra," he said.

"What do you want?" she asked, clearly unhappy with his presence.

"Look, I'm sorry about the concert, and I'm sorry about Sam. I couldn't control what Sam did. I could control the concert situation though, and I should have gone with you."

"Well, I'm glad you see that Drake," Cassandra responded. "Because of Sam, you lost me in a relationship, and because of your judgement, you lost me as a friend. Now that it's clear to you, just leave me alone." She slammed her locker shut and walked away. Drake stood there dumbfounded but noticed Cassandra's friend Alexa at her own locker. Drake quickly ran up to her.

"Whatever you're sellin', I ain't buyin' Parker," Alexa snapped. Clearly Alexa was one of the few girls who couldn't stand Drake. The fact that she was Cassandra's best girlfriend didn't help him either. Drake sighed, this wouldn't be easy.

"Look, Alexa, can you please get Cassandra to come to the show next weekend?"

"Why? So you can upset and embarrass her all over again? I think not."

"No, not at all. I just want to make up for everything. She won't let me talk to her. Could you just please get her to go?"

"What's the matter with you? She doesn't want to see you anymore. Just give it up. You're nothing but a player and always will be."

"No, Alexa. Come on, help me out. Look, when Sam kissed me, I didn't do anything but push Sam away. I never wanted to hurt Cassandra like that. She made me want to think seriously about dating. I wanted to just be with her and no other girl. I wanted to ask her to be my girlfriend officially. Then we broke up. I think it hurt me more than her because she didn't see that I tried to change. Then, with the concert, I couldn't spend an entire night being with her like that. It would have been too hard."

"Why don't you tell her this?"

"She won't let me talk to her, but I've found another solution. If you'll just get her to go to the show next weekend..." Drake pleaded with Alexa. This was his last shot.

Alexa looked Drake up and down. She could see he was being sincere. Finally she sighed.

"Okay Drake, I'll get her there, but if you break her heart again, I swear I'll break you."

"That seems fair," Drake said meekly. He quickly rushed off. Cassandra was going to be there, at least as far as he knew. He hoped Christopher wouldn't come. Oh man, that could ruin everything.

Cassandra sat in chemistry fuming. How dare he try to defend everything he did. She paged through her book. She tried to calm down. They weren't together anymore, and if he finally got the message she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. Then, why was she so unhappy? She couldn't look at Drake as he sat down a few seats behind her. The first person she'd let in for a long time, and everything blew up in her face. She pulled out the note Christopher had written her and smiled. At least she had someone who wasn't kissing other girls.

Drake walked into his bedroom. Josh was typing away at his computer.

"Hey Josh," Drake said. Josh was still a bit upset with what Drake did to Cassandra about the concert. How could his brother have done that to anyone?

"Hi," came Josh's reply.

"Look, I know you think I'm an idiot...and I don't blame you. I was stupid and selfish and never should have gone with Sam to that concert. The truth is, I'm mad at myself. I wish I could take it all back. I miss Cassandra so much. She was one of the only girls besides Mom I've really ever been able to talk to about things. I know you think I don't deserve her anymore, but I'm still trying to get her back anyway." Drake confessed all of this. He looked up at Josh to see his reaction.

"You know what man?" asked Josh. "If you sincerely mean everything you just said, then nobody deserves Cassandra more than you."

"Thanks Josh."

"No problem Drake. She told me about how she was able to tell you about her brother. Now, I don't know the entire story behind that car accident and their relationship, but I can tell it meant a lot to her that you listened to her."

"That's probably why she's been so mad at me. I want to fix this more than anything," Drake said.

"Well, you've got a plan right?" asked Josh.

"Yep. I hope it works."

"I do too."

"Thanks. Oh, by the way. Megan keeps guessing your email password."

"Aw jeez."
