FATE

This is Very AU tons of OOC-ness…Sorry in Advance…I don't own GH or RENT…The only character I own is Tracy's Daughter Amanda (Mandy)...brief prologue the rest takes place AU in present day PC….Also After this chapter and the next (the Hospital Christmas Party) I will probably start a part 2 (or have a New Years Eve chapter as well then a part 2)

The days passed by and Amanda felt like she was in a dream. She would go to the hospital during the day and at night she spent her time with Mark. The two had only been physically together for a few weeks but they felt like they had known each other forever.

It was now the night that Amanda had planed to go out with Patrick. Everyone was surprised when Amanda had suggested that they went to Jake's, the local bar in town rather then having a nice dinner at the Metro Court.

Outside of the bar Mark and Amanda were waiting.

"I think I know you Amanda," Mark said "And then you decide to go out to a dive like this."

"This Dive as you so call it happened to be a second home for me back in High School," Amanda replied.

Mark looked at her stunned.

"Jason used to have a room upstairs," Amanda explained, "So ready to have your but whipped at pool."

"Bring it," Mark said as Patrick walked up with Emily.

"Emily," Amanda said, "I see you've come to your senses and moved on from you little crush on Sonny."

"Let's not talk about Sonny," Emily said, "so Mark how are you."

"Fine," Mark said.

"As much as I'd like to talk out here," Patrick said, "let's go inside."

The four headed inside and sat down at the bar.

"So Amanda," Mark asked, "You've ever been in a bar fight before."

"No," said Amanda giggling.

Just then a man who had been playing pool in the corner began to trash talk Sonny and Jason to the bartender.

"You see those two ladies over their," Coleman said to the man, "one's Morgan's sister and the other is his cousin."

The man then headed over and began to harass the girls.

"So about what we were talking about," Emily said.

"I can't mess up my hands," Patrick said.

"And I really don't want to fight," Amanda said, "I will challenge you at pool though, learned the game from my cousin, you heard of him obviously."

The man wouldn't quit what he was doing and before long the biggest shot of the evening had occurred. Emily and Mark got up and a brawl broke out between them and the guy.

No one was hurt but the cops were called up.

Lucky and Jesse entered the bar and looked at the bar where Patrick Drake was sitting with Amanda watching the fight.

"You three are under arrest," Lucky said turning to his step sister with a frown on his face.

At the PCPD Amanda stood out front with Lucky.

"I heard Coleman's side," Lucky said, "And now I would like your side as whiteness."

"He had been talking badly about Jason," Amanda said, "then he began to harass me and Emily."

"And the fight," Lucky said, "who started it."

"No one," Amanda said, "it just happened."

"You know no matter what you say Emily and Mark just got a warning right," Lucky said, "I mean they weren't drunk and disorderly like the other guy was."

Amanda nodded.

"May I suggest you stay away from bars for a while," Lucky said.

Amanda then walked to where Mark and Emily were being released from.

"Wow Mark," Amanda said, "and I thought I knew you."

She kissed her boyfriend.

"I can't believe I have a criminal record now," Mark said.

"To be honest," Amanda said, "it was just a warning."

"But still," Mark said, "not that it's a good thing it's just that my friends back in the city know me as safe."

"You risked it all to come to Port Charles though," Amanda said.

"I did didn't I," Mark kissed her as Patrick came over.

"So much for our night out," Patrick said.

"Yea," Amanda said, "Now I'll never know why you stood me up that time."

"It was all me and never you," Patrick said, "lets keep it at that."

Patrick walked out of the PCPD and pulled out a photo from his wallet of an older woman.

'If Only' Patrick thought, 'if you didn't get in that accident I would be with Amanda now and not Mark.'

Amanda and Mark headed out of the PD hand in hand.

"This is a story will tell our children about," Mark said.

"You just said our children," Amanda said surprised.

"Your children, my children, our children," Mark said, "but that is a ways away."

"But you know what's not a ways away," Amanda said, "Christmas and Jason should be released around then."

"What are you saying," Mark asked.

"I can have Alice make up a guest room for you," Amanda said.

"No thanks," Mark said as he had something else in mind.
