Title: Popcorn Makes Everything Romantic

Rating: This chapter is probably PG-13 due to some language and slight sexual content.

Disclaimer: None of these characters are mine...I cannot claim them. They all belong to the hardworking people involved with Degrassi. While I'm at this…I don't own Grease, or anything to do with it either.

Feedback: Yes please, I want to know what everyone thinks of this story so far.

Summary: This will be a Palex (Paige/Alex) story...So, you are warned. If you are not into females dating other females, please don't read this story. It's not for you. It's about what might have happened had Alex and Paige not kissed in Lexicon of Love, would they have found their way together anyway, and what would have happened, in my opinion, if the details of the movie premier night were altered.

Author's Note: Thank you to everyone who reviewed, and to everyone who reviews in the future. I really do appreciate knowing your thoughts on it. Dreams are in italics and bold, once more. And for once, I won't ramble too much in this…Enjoy.


"So, it's basically going to be the same basis as the last one, right?" Amy was rambling on, and Paige was simply nodding by now. They had gone over all of the plans several times now…

"Well, in some aspects." Paige shrugged, remembering Spinner and Manny at the last car wash. That wasn't going to hurt her this year. If it happened, then it would hurt Darcy, not her. Hah.

"Such as?" Amy quirked an eyebrow, curiously at the other girl, wondering if there was a story behind that look of Paige's.

Mm, crap. Paige didn't want to talk about that. So, she offered, "We're going to wash cars?"

Amy rolled her eyes, not going with the subject change. "What's different?"

The person I'm going out with isn't going to spend the day flirting with Manny. "I'll be around more this year, watching things." Paige shrugged, and Amy let it slide.

"Oh, good. So, if we have everything settled, then I'll see you tomorrow bright and early?" Amy was almost too excited.

"Well, not that early. It doesn't start until ten."


"Summer lovin' had me a blast." Alex was surrounded by Ellie, Sean, Jay, Marco, Manny, and Emma. They were all listening carefully as she sang about her summer.

"Summer lovin' happened so fast…" Paige was grinning, as Hazel, Jimmy, Spinner, Darcy, and Dylan listened into her song.

"Met a girl crazy for me," Alex was still smiling, remembering the girl named Paige that she had met during the summer at the beach.

"Met a girl, cute as can be." Ah, Alex…Paige remembered her fondly.

There was a creak in the background, and immediately Alex sat up in bed. "I really have to stop remembering my dreams…"She had been dreaming about the musical Grease…with her and Paige as the two main characters…

"What was that, Hun?" Her girlfriend was sitting on the end of her bed, looking at her oddly.

"Paige?" Oh God. Don't let it be another dream.

Paige smirked at her girlfriend. "You forgot about the car wash, didn't you?" Obviously. It was ten o'clock and Alex was still in bed.

"No, I just…slept through my alarm clock." Alex gestured towards the chest of drawers, where her alarm clock usually sat.

Paige had to glance down at the floor to find it. Alex had batted at it to turn it off, effectively knocking it to the floor. "So, I noticed. Not a morning person, huh?"

"Good guess," Alex smiled and tried to roll over and go back to sleep.

"Well, go brush your teeth. I'll be here." Paige smiled perkily, waiting for Alex to get a move on.

The raven-haired girl rolled her eyes, and wandered off into the bathroom like a good girlfriend, returning a few minutes later with clean teeth and combed hair. "You know…Now that I have you here, on my bed…" She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

Paige shook her head, "Alex, we have cars to wash."

"You can help me wash mine then." She wasn't going to give up that easily.

"It's not dirty." Ah, why must they both be so stubborn.

Then again, there's always compromises. "Well, then we'll wash yours."

"You just want me alone and in my swimsuit." Paige stopped to think. Huh, Alex in her swimsuit. She liked the thought of that.

"Do you think I'm like that?" Alex feigned innocence. There was a good chance that she had, in fact, realized that she'd get to hang out with Paige in her swimsuit all day, yes. "I'm hurt." The blonde rolled her eyes at her girlfriend, and Alex simply smirked. "You know me too well."


"That's where that dream came from!" The two girls had been kissing on Alex's bed when Paige's cell phone when off. It was 'Summer Lovin' from Grease!

"What dream?" Paige glanced at the other girl oddly. Oops.

"Uh, nothing. I'll tell you later." Alex smiled at her, and Paige looked at her oddly again. "It wasn't about Manny and Emma."

"Paige, where are you?" It was Amy.

What the hell. "Amy, how did you get this number?" Paige knew that she had never given the number to Amy before.

"Oh, Hazel and some other people were wondering where you were. So, they gave me your number." Paige assured the worried girl that both she and Alex were fine, quite fine, and they would be in soon.


Paige immediately searched for her best friend, while Alex wandered over to talk to Marco. "Hazel, why did you ask Amy to call me?"

Hazel looked slightly worried herself, only for different reasons. "Uh, I didn't, Paige. She asked for your number…Eventually, we had to give it to her." Paige cocked an eyebrow. "She wouldn't shut up!" Weird. The blonde glanced over at Amy, wondering what she was up to.


Amy came bounding over to Alex, grinning. They were both in their swimsuits, washing cars. "Ooh, Alex. Jay's here. We should wash his car." She was way too perky in the morning.

"Hell no," the raven-haired girl frowned. "I'm not washing his car."

"Aw, come on, Lexi." Jay had snuck up behind the two. "I'll tip," he grinned at the two. Amy grinned back, and Alex resisted the urge to show him a certain finger of hers.

Amy continued for Jay, urging Alex into it. "Plus, it's two people per car. Everyone else is already working on cars at the moment. We're busy." Crap. That was true.

"Looking good, Ladies." Jay smiled as the two worked on his car. Alex just wanted it down quickly. She was going to overcharge him. "Looking real good," he smiled again as he admired the two girls. He had them both once, why couldn't he win them both over again? That was his philosophy.


Paige frowned at her brother's car. He had just brought it in. "Dylan, you just want me to wash your car because I won't otherwise."

"Hey, I'm paying good money." He grinned, and admitted, "Plus, I can talk to Marco."

Marco looked up, seizing the chance to not wash a car, and the chance to talk to Dylan again. "But, he's helping me!" Paige pouted.

"It's not that dirty," Dylan shrugged, no longer listening to his little sister's pleas. Both Paige and Alex were cleaning cars that they didn't want to clean, but, when they looked up at each other…Well, a whole day together in swimsuits…It couldn't be all bad.
