A/n (you all read the title and you like… hmm what are they doing? But NO it's not like that. Haha. Nice try.) Here we go!


Nicole's alarm went off and abruptly went off as she brought her fist down on it. She sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes. At the end of the bed Kiki yawned and stretched and wiggled her way out of her makeshift bed. She blinked, now fully awake. She jumped into Nicole's lap.

"Let me get dressed and we'll go wake Jas up," Nicole said scratching the puppy behind the ears. Kiki Jumped off the bed and pawed at the bag of food.

"aww, are you hungry?" Nicole giggled. She tore off the top of the bag and set it back down on the ground by Kiki. She walked over to her closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a black tank top. Nicole smiled to herself as she listened to Kiki crunching on her breakfast in the back round. She tossed her night clothes onto her unmade bed and quickly changed. Kiki finished eating and began to attack Nicole's bare feet as she began to make her bed and clean her room.

"Kiki stop!" she laughed.

"I'm hurrying!" She scooped the fuzz ball up and walked out into the hall. She made sure no one was in sight. (7am on a Saturday, The whole school was still asleep) Nicole reached Jason and Dylan's door and fished a key out of her back pocket while balancing Kiki in one hand. Quietly, she slipped the key into the lock and opened the door, only to see both boys asleep in their beds.

"I'll help you," Nicole mocked Jason in a whisper to Kiki. She sat down on the edge of Jason's bed.

"Jas," she whispered. She pulled her feet up on the bed. Jason didn't move.

"Get him Kiki," Nicole set the puppy down next to his face. Kiki licked him excitedly and Jason sat up. Nicole fell over as Kiki scurried back onto her. Dylan opened his eyes and looked over at the two.

"I wake up, and the first thing I see is you two in the same bed," he mumbled pulling his blanket over his head. Kiki jumped from Jason's bed and ran over to Dylan's, attacking the semi-sleeping lump.

"let me sleep," Dylan whined.

"come on Kiki," Nicole called the puppy. Surprisingly she came.

"why did you wake me up again?" Jason yawned.

"you promised to help," Nicole said as she pushed Kiki over on the bed. The little dog fell over then jumped back up to attack Nicole's hand before being pushed over again.

"Right," Jason said pulling his pillow over his head. Kiki jumped onto his stomach.

"what is with her?" Jason asked.

"She's my attack dog," Nicole grinned.

"extremely intimidating," he said dryly. Kiki let out a soft bark of agreement.

"get up! We need to be at the stables early," Nicole said pulling the pillow away from Jason.

"Stables?" Dylan asked sitting up.

"I take it you're in," Jason teased.

"I'm taking Kiki outside, get dressed and I'll meet you in ten minutes," Nicole interrupted. Kiki went and sat by the door.

"make sure Kyle doesn't find her!" Jason yelled after Nicole as she walked out. Nicole waved behind her and ran to keep up with her puppy. People were starting to wake up and a few had even made their way into the court yard. None seemed to notice the pup trailing Nicole. She led Kiki onto the back path that ran through the forest. Nicole stared off into space as Kiki fought off a leaf.

'so, on the agenda today,' Nicole thought to herself.

'stables with the guys, lunch with the rents, grandparents leaving, late soccer practice, and studying for Monday's test.' she sighed at her less-than-empty schedule and picked up the puppy.

"if xana rears his ugly head I swear to god.." Nicole muttered.

"she's not going to talk back," Bryan said from behind her. Nicole turned around.

"I really don't have time for you," she sighed. Kiki barked in her defense.

"what's with the mutt?" Bryan asked.

"I wouldn't call her that, she bites," Nicole warned. Kiki licked her face.

"oh I'm sure, the little dust mop is so scary," he reached out to pet her. Nicole pulled back.

"I'm telling you Bryan, she's extremely protective." Kiki jumped out of her arms and ran towards the school.

"Kiki!" Nicole yelled chasing the pup, she pushed past Bryan.

"where are you going?" Kiki scurried around the corner of the building and darted in the door.

'oh no Kyle's going to see her!' her mind screamed. Kiki ran up the main stairs a few steps ahead of Nicole. Down the dorm hall a door opened. Kiki ducked inside.

"No! Kiki!" Nicole yelled.

"hey there Kiki," Nicole sighed. It was Jason's room. He came out of the room with Kiki pulling on his pant leg.

"uh Nick?" he asked.

"she just took off!" Nicole threw her arms up. Dylan slowly made his way out of the room behind Jason.

"can we go now?" he asked yawning.

"in a hurry are we?" Jason teased. Dylan punched him in the back. Nicole ran down the hall into her room. She grabbed her backpack off the floor and emptied it. She locked her door and ran back to where the guys were.

"come on you," She put Kiki in the back pack, leaving the zipper open enough for Kiki to stick her head out. The three made their way out of the school and headed towards the stables.


Ten Minutes Later


Jason and Dylan were laughing. Nicole walked with her arms crossed.

"I hate him! He just doesn't take a hint," she protested.

"you know, Kiki isn't that scary Nikki," Dylan shrugged.

"you should have got me a pit-bull," Nicole said and Jason nudged her.

"you know you love Kiki," he laughed.

"right, if someone breaks into my room to kill me, she can lick them to death," she rolled her eyes and they walked into the barn. Nicole sat down her bag and unzipped it. Kiki jumped out and ran to explore the barn.

"Hey Celeste, long time no see," Nicole laughed taking out the horse. Jason took out Stella and Dylan took out Star.

"where's Luna?" Nicole asked. Her stable was empty.

"hey!" A cheerful voice called. Kai lee rode into the barn on Luna.

"hi Kai!" Dylan said running over to help her down.

"I didn't know you were coming Dyl," she laughed and kissed his cheek.

"figured I'd help out," Jason and Nicole rolled their eyes as they brushed out the horses. Kai lee untacked Luna and started brushing her out too. Dylan took a brush and started to brush out Star, who turned and walked away. Kai lee tried desperately to not laugh at him.

"uh Dyl?" Nicole smirked.

"why don't you muck out the stalls?" she asked. He mutter under his breath and went to find a shovel. The sun was shining and it was a little chilly out with the slight breeze. Kiki jump around annoying the horses and finding mischief in everything. She took hold of Celeste's lead rope and pulled on it. Celeste pulled back and the pup yipped as she was lifted from the ground.

"Kiki, stop being such a problem," Nicole steadied Celeste and scooped up the puppy. Her cell phone rang. She balanced the puppy on her hip and laughed.

"hello? Hi Jeremy, we're at the.. Yes he is. Why? .. Did you.. Oh. You're sure? Yes! Yes of course. We're almost done here.. About 20 minutes ok? Told you so. Did too!" she laughed.

"ok Jer! See you soon!" she hung up. The three teens were staring at her.

"sorry," she giggled. Jason blinked.

"are you going to tell us or not?" he asked.

"oh right, sorry," Nicole grinned sheepishly.

"twenty minutes we're meeting up with the rents, they found it," Dylan and Jason cheered and Kai lee stared blankly.

"found what?"
