Disclaimer: If I DID own CL it would be season 2 already people!
A/n I would like to dedicate this story to top20fan13 who always tells me to have a nice day and that always makes me smile. Lol.
The last bell rang at 2:45 and the students filed out of their classes. Nicole stood up silently and went to her locker and Jason went to his dorm room to put his books away. When he went to meet Nicole at her locker to walk to the factory, she wasn't there. He called her cell but it was off. Giving up he walked to the soccer field. There he seen the brunette. Her hoddie was laying on the ground and she was in a black tank top. At her feet was a bag of soccer balls. She was kicking them as hard as she could into the goal.
"joining the team this year?" Jason asked walking on the field. Nicole wiped the sweat from her face and turned to him.
"I don't know why but I am. Everyone thinks I get my soccer skills from dad and don't realize I have to work hard just like he did." she said kicking another ball.
"moody much?" Jason asked. Nicole turned back to him.
"I'm sorry I just needed something to concentrate on so I wont think so much. I didn't mean to yell at you." she said. Jason rolled his eyes.
"don't worry about it. I'm used to it." she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Come on we have to get the factory." he said throwing her hoddie to her. She tied around her waist and ran to catch up with him.
"I'm sorry I forgot." she laughed.
"slacker." he muttered. "
Hey! I am not a slacker!" she laughed.
"is your cell off?" he asked as they headed towards the bridge.
"yeah.. It always is when I practice. How many years have you known me?" she joked. "
long enough to know things about you that even your parents don't know." Nicole glared at him.
"like what.?" she asked.
"like when your mad you scrunch your nose up. You have a really cute little mad face." he looked at her.
"like now." Nicole's face dropped into blush.
"that's not funny." she mumbled.
"yes it is." her face scrunched up again and Jason smirked. "
oh ok so I do scrunch my nose when I'm made. Drop it." They crossed the bridge and walked into the factory.
"it's not cute either." she said as they slid down the ropes. Jason just laughed.
"I'm sure Bryan thinks it's cute." she hit him as they walked into the elevator.
"you know, you don't look sick." Nicole smirked as she and Jason walked into the computer room. Dylan was sitting on the floor reading. He pretended to cough.
"hey guys." Jeremy smiled.
"hey Jer. Did you sleep?" Jason asked. Jeremy groaned and turned back to his work.
"we're used to all nighters." Aelita laughed.
"sleep tonight or your not gonna get anything accomplished." Nicole said.
"ok mom." Jeremy laughed.
"what can we do to help?" Jason asked. Jeremy handed them the laptop and a disk.
"you can try to figure out this part of the anti-virus." Nicole grabbed it before Jason could.
"no problem." she said sitting down next to Dylan. Jason sat down on the other side of her. The were looking over her shoulders onto the screen. She was typing as fast as she could think.
"ah.." she looked to Jason for help as she got a quarter of the way finished.
"It's 379." he said after a second. Nicole put the answer in and finished that part of the problem.
"let me do some." Jason took the laptop and started working. "is there anything else I can do?" Nicole asked.
"over in the corner there are some files. Go through them and see if you can find anything useful." Aelita said pointing to a stack of papers. Nicole nodded and walked over there. She opened the first file and pulled out the papers. A picture fell to the ground near her feet, face down. She bent down and picked it up.
"oh … my.. God!" she started cracking up. Everyone stared at her. She turned the picture towards them. It was the gangs bench picture from before they met Aelita. "Jason that's my mom and dad.. And your dad and Jeremy." she said pointing to them.
"they look so different." he said taking the picture. Jeremy and Aelita to a break from the super computer to see the picture as well. "I knew I left that here." Jeremy said taking the picture. Nicole shook her head and picked up the rest of the papers. "hey look at this."
