A/N: I'm new to this site and I thought I would post my story about what I think happens in Season Five. I am definitely not trying to copy off of anyone who already posted a story like this because I have been writing this since the show ended. It's a pretty obvious idea actually, and I'll expect a lot more people to make them. I got this list of episodes from another site, and I completely give all credit to the writers, creators and affiliates of RFR for the episode names. I am not trying to pass them off as my own. However, this story is full of my original ideas only, and I did not take any from anyone. Anything similar is completely coincidental.
Disclaimer: I do not own RFR, and this fanfiction season is not official or affiliated with any RFR cast or crew members.
I hope I made this as close to the real RFR as it gets!
Episode One: Ten, Lily, Zen
When Lily walked through the doors of Henry Roscoe High, she was expecting familiarity. She expected the same old people with the same old faces, the same old teachers, and the same routine days as last year. But this is not what she got. She got the some old people with different faces, different teachers walking the halls, and now there were the lowly lost freshman, like she was last year, trying to remember their way around. She smiled, she knew her way around. This was her school and this year she could enjoy it more with ease.
Naturally, she gravitated toward her friend's usual hangout place on the back staircase. Luckily, no freshman had claimed it yet. Sitting on the bottom step, she saw the school in a new way. It was wiser with shadows of last year, Freshman Lily, Freshman Ray, Freshman Robbie, and even Freshman Travis. Now she was the older, Sophomore Lily, ready to meet the new sophomore version of her friends that she hadn't seen in awhile.
"I told you she'd be here!" Robbie's voice said from behind her.
She turned around and laughed, Robbie and Ray had also come out of instinct. Lily jumped up and gave her friend Robbie the best hug a friend could get, and to Ray she smiled shyly, receiving the kiss she had waited all summer for. Sure, she had talked to Ray for countless hours and met up with him at his family's end of the summer barbeque after the mall tour, but her parents were there. She spent the entire time telling everyone who asked about the tour, and looking over at Ray longingly, wondering what her parents would think of their new found relationship.
"I cannot believe I barely saw you guys this summer!" Ray noticed, "It's like you were avoiding me or something."
"Well, I was avoiding your stench, and Lily was avoiding your cooties!" Robbie laughed.
"Ha! You're SO funny! At least I didn't spend my whole summer with Kim Carlisle and her weird new psychotic antics!" Ray snapped back.
Robbie stuttered in thought, "At least my mother doesn't do my laundry!"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
And it continued like it usually does. Lily just stood back and laughed. Her friends were able to just pick up where they left off. She couldn't help imagining Travis being there.
"If he were here, Travis would tell you guys about wasting words," she sighed in remembrance.
"And then he'd quote Buddha or some old philosopher we've never heard of!" Robbie added.
"Gosh, I actually miss that little weasel!" Ray exclaimed, "He even kind of looks like a weasel if you think about it."
Lily hit him playfully, and he gave her a puppy-dog pleading face.
She sighed, "I miss those useless Buddha quotes too. I just wish he'd pop up and quote Buddha again."
But as she thought about it more, the quotes weren't useless. They were ingrained in her mind, and were a new part of her he had left behind. She decided that Freshman Ray and Freshman Robbie were a lot like their sophomore versions, but who was Sophomore Lily? She was determined to find out. And she just wished she could find out what Sophomore Travis was like.
As he poked the mysterious meat on his tray, Robbie reflected on his summer. He was truly sorry his friends had not really been included in it, but he loved each moment he had spent with his new Kim. The new Kim was free, independent, and fearless. She was more fun than ever and sometimes the fact that he liked her so much scared him.
Classes today had been boring, the informational day where they went over the same rules and expectations in each class. It wasn't as if Robbie felt distant from his friends, he just felt like they each had so much to tell that they would never get it all out.
"What did that meat ever do to you?" Lily asked.
He looked down at his plate and saw all the holes in his meat patty.
"It has more holes than Tim's gym socks!" Ray laughed.
Principal Waller fluttered by, seeming as though he was looking for someone. He tried so hard to be a good principal; he always got to the bottom of everything.
Everything except for RFR, Robbie thought. Then he wondered of the radio station he loved so much would return, even without Travis. He almost asked his friends, but then had to stop himself.
"Hey Cutie!" Kim exclaimed, sitting down on Robbie's lap.
Ray and Lily exchanged glances.
"Hey Kim!" said Robbie, his face lighting up as he spoke.
"Hi everyone!" Kim said to Ray and Lily, "See guys, I was thinking, and I thought it would be totally fun if I sat at your table every day! I could see Robbie, and get to know his friends . . . What do you think?"
"Guys?" Robbie asked in a "please say yes" way.
"Sure," Ray mumbled.
"Um . . . yeah, if you start sitting in a chair or something," Lily added.
Kim laughed, and sat in the empty chair next to her.
Robbie looked disappointed. He glanced around at the other tables. New freshman boys stared at Kim, and Robbie felt a pang of pride. That was his girl! He saw a boy sitting alone at his own table, and remembered how last year he would have made fun of someone like that. Now, it was as if he was another Travis.
"So what's up guys?" Kim asked happily. "Oh, did you hear? Garth Khlimchuck got expelled for putting gummy bears in the nacho cheese machine. What a loser!"
Ray and Lily had moved closer in their own little world and Robbie laughed.
"Classes are so boring today!" Robbie pointed out.
"Yeah I know, I've heard everything like a bizzilion times," Kim said, "This is my senior year too you know."
"I know, don't remind me," Robbie answered.
"Aw Robbie! We have a whole year together, it'll be great!" Kim exclaimed.
But Robbie knew this wasn't true. He knew that eventually he'd have to say goodbye.
Ray was on a mission, to find Tim and embarrass him in front of his new girlfriend. But where could he be? Just as he spotted him talking to her down the hallway, Principal Waller intervened and stopped him.
"Ah! Mr. Brennan, I've been looking for you!" he said.
"Detention already? What did I do Sir?" Ray sighed; it was hard work being one of Roscoe's best class clowns and practical jokers.
"No, not anything bad, I just wanted to speak with you," he chuckled.
"Sure, shoot." Ray said, wondering what it could be if he didn't do anything wrong, and also missing his chance with Tim.
"Well, since our last Cougar Radio sports caster Garth umm…quit, I thought you could do it again!" he suggested, "I was so impressed by you last year."
"Oh I don't think I can do that, no time!" Ray exclaimed, making an excuse.
He was determined not to be attacked by another crazy jock this year.
"Why not? Do you have to listen to 'RFR' or something!" he joked, waving his hands up, "Well, I think I have finally put a stop to RFR of course!"
"No, actually I have to go grocery shopping for my mom," Ray answered, desperate for an excuse.
"You have to go grocery shopping everyday?" he asked, puzzled.
"Yeah! My family eats like farm animals!" Ray exclaimed. "Tim of course eats like a pig, and my parents are like . . . cows! And well, I have my new job at Mickey's! Speaking of which, I must be on my way right now Sir! You know how it is!"
"Ah yes, you'd better be going," Principal Waller said, walking away to catch a few littering students in the act.
Ray shook his head. Cougar Radio? That reminded him of Radio Free Roscoe, where he had decided to go after school despite the break-up. Who knows? They might just go on the air.
"So you haven't talked to him AT ALL?" Lily asked her friend Parker on their way out of the school.
"Nope, not since the first show on the mall tour," she answered.
"That sucks man," Lily answered, sympathetic toward her friend.
"It feels like . . . I'm the girl who is left behind, like Bridget last time," she explained.
"All love starts out the best thing in the world, but we never know what happens in the end," Lily replied.
"That was very Travisy," Parker noticed.
"It was on my mom's date calendar this morning," she said, thinking about the coincidence.
It really was like Travis though! She remembered him saying that before. All his quotes were with her now, and his concepts of Zen and life. She sighed because she missed him probably as much as Parker.
"Well, I've got to be going now Parker, okay?" Lily said.
"Sure, call me later so you can help me sulk!" she exclaimed. "Now, there's a pudding cup in my cupboard with my name on it!"
Parker ran off, and started walking home with her other friend Megan.
Lily walked the familiar walk to the station. It was somewhere she hadn't been in awhile, but as she walked up toward the door, she got a sense that she was home.
"You too Lily?" Robbie asked.
She spotted Robbie and Ray sitting on one of the old garbage cans.
"I just couldn't stay away I guess," she explained.
"Everyone in study hall was talking, as they normally do in study hall, and they were all wondering if RFR was coming back," Robbie told them.
"Yeah, and then there was Kim's lovely threat on Cougar Radio this afternoon," Lily noticed, looking at Robbie.
"Sorry Robbie, but she's still out to get us!" Ray said.
"So . . . is RFR back or what?" Robbie asked, changing the subject.
There was silence, and the three friends didn't know what to say.
Lily wanted it back. She wanted last year's Cougar Radio battles, her songs and segments about random things. She wanted Ray's jokes, and Robbie's wise questions and debates. She wanted Travis's quotes and knowledge of the control panel. But without Travis, would it be the same? Could they even be RFR anymore?
"Being defeated is often a temporary condition, giving up is what makes it permanent," Lily stated after awhile.
"Haha Travis!" Ray laughed.
"I say RFR is back . . ." Robbie decided.
"I second that," Lily said.
"I third it," Ray added.
They ran into the station to start the show at the normal time. Lily glanced at where Travis would have been and smiled. Travis brought RFR back.
"I'm Question Mark and YOU were wondering, is RFR coming back?" Robbie asked, at home again on the air in front of his microphone.
"Well all of us minus one at RFR are happy to say, that it looks like you guys are stuck with us for another year," Ray said, as Pronto.
"Smog would send his love to all you listeners, but he's not here to say it," Lily added, as Shady Lane. "We will all miss him greatly, but I think somehow we'll get him to listen to RFR."
"Yeah, send him the broadcast!" Ray exclaimed.
"And on that note, I would like to invite our listeners to call in and tell us about your summer, say hi to Smog, anything," Robbie said, "Because we're back, and we're sticking around."
Robbie reached over and turned their voices off the air. They were back, and Robbie couldn't have been happier. But then there was the aspect of Kim. Did she really hint that he was Question Mark? Would he get another guilt trip by not telling her? All these were mixed emotions. He looked at Ray and Lily, his original three friends. It was as if Travis had been erased from the picture by a very large eraser. He noticed that they were still somewhat distant since the summer, but he hoped that would ease up soon.
"Guys, I didn't know we were doing this so I didn't write any new songs," Lily said, "I've been mostly singing the same ones with No Man's Land. I'll have a new one by tomorrow I guess."
"I guess that's how it is when you're a rock star!" Ray said.
"It does seem like it! Some Freshman girl followed me around today after third period and made me sign her NML locker poster," Lily told them.
"Oh that's so a burden right Lily? You know you loved it!" Robbie laughed.
" . . . I did!" she laughed too, "On the tour some guy wanted Megan to sign his underwear."
"Did she do it?" Ray asked.
"No, she threatened to smack him with her drumsticks," Lily answered.
"I bet that made him go away," Robbie said.
"No, he followed us to three of the tour stops," she said.
"A stalker!" Robbie laughed.
"Lily?" Ray asked.
"Yes Ray?"
"Will you sign my underwear?" he asked.
Lily's face turned red and she hit him.
"This is RFR and we're back on the air," Robbie said, glaring at his friends.
He got to take calls, he got to talk and listen. He got to do what he wanted to do. He loved every minute of it.
Ray was once again on a mission: don't be seen by Principal Waller! He had called him to the office second period, but Ray had avoided the call. There was no way he was going back on Cougar Radio!
He just had to go down one more hallway, and he was safe in the lunch room with people surrounding him. Just as he was about to pull a Mission Impossible move, he sensed that someone was watching him. Slowly, he turned around.
It was Megan! He jumped, startled by seeing someone.
"Man Megan, don't sneak up on me like that!" Ray exclaimed.
Megan pointed down the hall to a wondering Principal Waller.
"Ah!" he yelled, and the two ran to the lunch room to find their friends. He spotted them at the usual table, today with Parker, Lily, and Robbie.
"Man, you guys. Waller will not get off of my back! He wants me to do Cougar Radio Sports again since Garth Khlimchuck got expelled…"
"Again," the table chanted.
"-and he asked me yesterday and today like at least 20 times," Ray finished as he sat at the lunch table after narrowly escaping another Waller encounter. "I don't know how to make him leave me alone!"
"He'll get sick of bothering you after a while," Parker told him. "I guess it's just his nature. You gotta deal until he's done annoying you and moves on… to someone else…"
"Howdy!" Kim exclaimed from out of nowhere, skipped over to their table and sat on Robbie's lap. "Holy cow," she reached into her purse and pulled out a wad of somewhere around 40 small pieces of paper, "it's only, what, the second day of school? All these losers are trying to give me their phone number. Some idiot that was drooling all over me in chemistry didn't have a piece of paper, so he wrote his phone number on my arm," she pointed to the seven digits scrawled onto her skin, "And I didn't even notice until he was on the last number!"
"Weren't you going to sit in a chair?" Lily asked, but Kim ignored her.
Ray studied the phone number on her arm.
"Hey that's my phone number!"
"Figures," Kim stuffed the wad of papers back into her purse, "Your brother was my lab partner. So anyway, whatcha guys talking about?"
"Um . . . Lily . . . remember what we need to finish from yesterday?" Robbie asked Lily, thinking of the RFR plans they needed to finish which they couldn't with Megan, Parker, and Kim there.
"Oh . . . um . . . yeah," Lily cleared her throat, "We, um . . . let's go Robbie."
"See you guys," Robbie said as he slid out from under Kim.
"Bye . . .?" Kim answered in an odd tone, taking Robbie's chair.
"Waller's trying to get Ray to join Cougar Radio ever since Khlimchuck got expelled . . ."Parker started.
"Again," Ray and Megan sang.
"And now he won't leave Ray alone." Parker finished.
"Yeah, Waller told me about that," Kim smiled, pushing a braid behind her ear, "I think you're pretty much screwed. He's all hung up on you!"
"Why are you still here?" Megan blurted out.
"Robbie's not here for you to hang all over anymore." Ray laughed.
"Well, excuse me for not wanting to sit with River Pierce in the Cougar Radio booth, Princess Silence and Captain Smelly!" Kim snapped.
"Well, the south end of the magnetic bond isn't here anymore!" Ray pointed out.
Parker and Megan looked at Ray.
"What? Sometimes I actually pay attention in science class!" Ray exclaimed.
Kim cleared her throat and stood up, "Well, Meggie, Raymond, Park, I'm sure you always get what you want, and since y'all hate me I'll just sit in the corner over there."
Kim stormed away angrily.
"Hey . . . Kim knows Waller, Ray!" Parker pointed out.
"And?" Ray answered, confused.
"Kim could talk to Waller for you, you know, and like get him to stop bothering you."
"Looks like I blew that idea," Ray said, "Why did I actually try to be smart?"
"Go catch her Ray, she's leaving!" Parker exclaimed.
"I'll catch her, good thing I brought my fishing net!" Ray jumped up and ran toward Kim, "Kim! Kim!"
She stopped and spun around to face him.
"Well, this is a surprise!" she said sarcastically, "If you're trying to apologize you don't have to. I've been kicked out of a bunch of lunch tables before."
"Well, I am sorry, but um . . . I was just wondering if . . . you could . . . like, talk to Waller for me? Like, to get him out of my strawberry scented hair!" Ray asked, "I knew using that expensive shampoo would attract people, but I was thinking more of like . . . girls."
"Hmm . . . I suppose . . . I mean something's up with Robbie so it's not like I have anything to do. It's sort of like he's ignoring me. I couldn't imagine why. It's not like he has something important or secret he's not telling me about, or doesn't think I've figured out."
There was an odd flicker in Kim's eye.
She knows about RFR? Ray wondered.
"Do you . . . know?"
"Know what?" she smiled, than frowned, then smiled again, "I'm joking, duh, I know Brennan. He didn't even tell me and I figured it out. I don't get why a dumb radio station would be more important than his girlfriend for crying out loud."
Ray stared at her, wondering why she didn't tell anyone yet.
"Don't tell him okay?" Kim asked, "I don't want him thinking of me differently because I know his deep dark secret."
"Um . . . Okay," Ray agreed.
"And I won't tell anyone," Kim added, "You can trust me."
Ray nodded and Kim turned toward the door, ready to leave.
"And Kim?" he asked, Kim turned around, "You can sit at our table anytime, even without Robbie there."
"I'm a girl… Who has no ideas… of what to write a song about… and Robbie isn't helping… because I know he would much rather be Kim's Santa… and have her sit on his lap… than stay here with me… while he taps his pencil angrily… and I sing this lame song… lalalala…"
"Lily! Will you please stop? I'm trying to think here!" Robbie exclaimed as Lily rewired her gold guitar's strings and desperately tried to think of a good song for that day's RFR while they sat in the empty music room together.
"Think about what? Kim?" Lily smiled at Robbie.
"Why does everything have to relate to Kim? Gosh, you guys must think I'm obsessed with her or something!"
"Whatever you say, Robbie McGrath."
"Don't you have a song to write?"
"'Don't you have a song to write?'" Lily mocked in a 'Robbie-ish' voice.
Robbie sighed. "Why is everything so different this year?"
He slid down in his chair and continued tapping his pencil.
"Why don't you write a song if you want everything to be so perfect?" Lily snapped "Or better yet, why don't you hang out with Kim? I mean, she's the only one who hasn't changed at all from last year."
"Lily, I just don't understand!" Robbie admitted. "It's like Travis left and everything's… I don't know… different. Boring. And for some reason you can't even think of a new song! I can't think of anything to question, and Ray… well, Ray doesn't even seem to care. Why can't everything be like last year, Lily?"
"Well, things have to change Robbie," Lily put her guitar aside and reached for a paper and pencil to start brainstorming. "And Ray's just… spontaneous I guess. He lets things happen. He cares about RFR, trust me. He just gets inspiration randomly and in odd places.
"Well, Lily," Robbie wondered. "Where do you get your inspiration?"
"I…" Lily thought a minute, but couldn't think of a straight answer. "I…guess…my friends. I don't know, school maybe. Life, I guess I would say." "Then write about one of those things, Lily!" Robbie laughed. "Why didn't you think of that in the first place? Write about Parker! Write about Megan! Write about Ray! Write about me! Write about Travis!
"Travis…" Lily repeated. "Write about Travis. Write about Travis! That's a great idea, Robbie! I can write about Travis! Thank you so much!"
"Travis? What's there to write about Travis?" Robbie asked. "Zen? Nothing rhymes with Zen!"
"Robbie, I know you're hurt that I'm not writing a song about you, but there's a whole ton of stuff to write about Travis! Besides, a million things rhyme with Zen."
"Name one."
"Zen… ten, when, hen, fen…"
"I said one! Ten, Lily. That's all you had to say."
Lily laughed and bent over her paper, filled with new so many new song ideas she could barely get them all on paper.
"Coast clear?"
"Roger that. Ew. That's my dad's name."
"So nobody's in there but Waller?"
"Roger that. And I'm sure you'll prevent distractions?"
"Got it covered. Waller had tacos for lunch. Nobody will want to go near him after I tell them that."
"Okey dokey, Pokey," Kim poked Ray on the shoulder and smiled. "Just kiddin.'"
"Um…okay… I'll prevent distractions… avoid changing the subject…make sure he's actually listening to you…"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Ray Brennan. I know what I'm doing. You don't have to worry about a thing. I'll have him out of your expensive hair in no time!"
"So you're sure this will work?"
"Yep, dude."
"1… 2… 3… WALLRUS!" Ray and Kim whispered, and Kim slid down the hallway to Principal Waller's office.
"Principal Waller, Sir?" Kim knocked on Waller's half-open door quietly. "Can I talk to you?"
"Oh! Why, hello Kim! Please come in! Uh, shut the door behind you now," he said, spinning around in his black leather swivel chair. Kim slipped inside and shut the door, taking a seat in one of the worn-in green chairs in front of his desk.
The minute it closed, Ray rushed up next to it, trying to hear every word.
"So, Kim," Waller started. "What's on your mind?"
"Well…" Kim looked around at the floor. "Remember when you told me you wanted Ray Brennan to take Khlimchuck's spot?"
"Mmhmm…?"
"Well… I think that's a really crappy idea."
Principal Waller stared at her and she couldn't decide if it was because she disagreed with him, or her way of telling him, so she just continued talking.
"Well, I mean, he shouldn't do it! I heard from his best friend, Robbie McGrath that he's extremely lazy and hates all extra-curricular activities. If he hates it, he'll stink up Cougar Radio! We don't want a sucky person on Cougar Radio! Why don't you just give River more class credits like last year…?"
"How'd you find out about that?"
"Umm… never mind that. The point is that he doesn't want to do it!"
"How do you know?"
"Because…uh… he told me," Kim declared, "and he says you're annoying the hell out of him because you won't leave him alone."
"Miss Carlisle, I want Ray Brennan for Cougar Radio and that's final! Unless of course, you would like to do it?"
"Puh… as if!"
"See?"
"Why don't you just make River Pierce do it?"
"Mr. Pierce has informed me that he is much to busy."
"Right."
"If that's all, you may leave now."
"But Sir!"
"End of discussion!"
A light bulb went off in Kim's head and she stood up, "But Sir… I know somebody better than Ray Brennan."
"I'm Question Mark, and I'm wondering . . . why is that when one of your best friends moves away, everything seems . . . different?"
"Well Question," Lily smiled at him, "we all know you're talking about Smog."
"Yeah Shady, but why . . . why . . ."
" . . . Did he have to leave? Is that what you're saying?" Ray popped up.
"Um . . . yeah," Robbie admitted.
"I have a confession to make," Ray stated, "well, I've been really trying to hide it, like by making jokes and stuff, but, you guys, I really miss Smog."
"And we have a caller," Robbie announced.
Lily reached the phone and pressed the blinking button, "Go ahead caller. You're on the air."
"Hi . . .Well, a while ago, I had to move away . . . and I really missed everyone here, so I'm sure Smog misses you guys too," a familiar voice said on the other line.
Robbie automatically knew who it was, but didn't say anything.
"Thanks caller. Your words mean a lot," Lily choked.
Robbie could somewhat tell she knew it was Kim also, but he wasn't sure through her cracking voice.
After more callers, songs, and debates as usual, the show was about to end, but there was still time for one last thing.
"This is RFR signing off," Ray mumbled, "But this last song we'd like to dedicate to our good friend, Smog. Take it away Shady."
Lily hesitated, but began the opening chords of her new song through tears.
Memories lasting over seas,
as far as it may seem,
no matter what they say,
nothing will be the same.
It's like you changed the channel,
right before my eyes,
but maybe if you'd listen,
You can hear my distant cries.
You left parts of you behind,
scattered over here,
I'm always pressing rewind,
to pretend that you are near.
Lily pushed the button to end the broadcast, and the three friends sat there, overcome by a sudden sadness. The only sound was Lily's whimpering.
"Aw, don't cry Lil," Ray frowned, "I hate it when you cry."
Robbie stared at him and couldn't help but feel the sting of tears in his own eyes. Lily covered her face in her hands and sighed.
"Travis . . . was . . . one of my best friends ever!" she sniffed, "I want him to come . . . back . . ."
"Lily, we all do," Robbie told her.
"And you still have us, and we're not going anywhere," Ray smiled.
She breathed in and out again, "Thanks guys."
"You know . . . I need to work on some stuff here, but you guys get going or something," Robbie said, winking at Ray.
"Right, see you Robbie," Ray said.
"Yeah, see you," Lily added, pretending like she didn't see Robbie's wink.
When they got outside the studio, Lily threw her arms around Ray.
"We haven't gotten to talk much for awhile, have we?" Lily asked, wiping away the rest of her tears, and revealing red eyes.
"No . . . I don't like that very much either . . . I think if we permanently super glue ourselves together we could fix that problem," Ray decided, "Except it might be a little hard to go to the bathroom."
Lily laughed. She was overcome with so much emotion in the last hour. She could always count on Ray to make her feel better.
"I love when you do that," Ray said.
"What?"
"When you laugh," he said.
She blushed, "This feels like one of those surreal movies where the characters say dumb things and it's all so fake."
"Lily, this is as real as it gets," Ray said, "I don't see any television cameras! That is, unless we're on one of those weird reality television shows or something."
"Well, in those reality television shows, they are all scripted," Lily said, "So it can't be, unless it gets really predictable."
"What would make it predictable?" Ray asked, "I'm so the least predictable person you know, I've got to be!"
Suddenly, Lily kissed him, sealing her moment.
"Was that predictable?" she asked.
"Naw . . . I was so expecting that."
"Sure."
"Come on, I know you Lily!"
She knew that. She knew that he probably knew her more than she even knew herself, and for the first time, she wasn't afraid of that. She was ready to embrace it.
"So tell me, Kim," Robbie started, closing his locker and looking into his girlfriend's eyes, "how did you manage to get Waller off Ray's back?"
"Oh yeah, this morning Waller walked past me and all he said was 'Hello Mr. Brennan!'" Ray added with a laugh.
"Well . . ." she said with an evil grin, "I just told him I knew someone better."
"Like who?" Robbie asked.
Kim's grin grew wider, "You'll see Mr. Too-Pre-occupied-to-hang-out-with-his-girlfriend-let-alone-talk-to-her-at-school-or-call-her-on-the-phone-once-in-a-while-for-a-whole-week."
"I don't think I like where this is going," Ray eyed Principal Waller strutting down the hallway toward the three.
"Oh no you don't," she laughed, "and Ray, hope you remembered our little deal."
"What are you guys . . .?"
"Mr. McGrath," Principal Waller cut him off, getting his attention by taping him on his shoulder.
Robbie turned around abruptly, "Oh, hello Sir."
"Mr. McGrath, come walk with me," Principal Waller instructed.
Finally, it dawned on Robbie.
"God I hate you Kim!" he muttered sarcastically as Principal Waller led him to his office.
"Love ya baby!" she called after him.
"Pretty smooth, Carlisle," Ray admitted when Robbie was out of sight.
"I have my ways," she gushed, "You know, you're not too bad yourself Brennan. We should totally hang out sometime."
"Yeah sure!" he agreed with a small smile, "You want my phone number?"
Kim tapped him on the head twice, "You forgot Brennan, I already have it, remember?"
She smiled at him, than began to skip down the hallway. Ray watched her skip away, and couldn't help thinking of her with a laugh and his new, hyper friend.
A/N: So, that's it for my first chapter. I hope you stick around to read the next one. I know it's not remotely close to the real RFR, but I hope it is good enough .Please leave me a review! I'm working on the next chapter, so look for that soon!
Note: The quotes used in this story were found on another website (I don't think I can post the link), and I give credit to whoever wrote them. Although, I did write Lily's song by myself, and it is all original lyrics.
