A/N: Well I thank everyone who has reviewed this last chapter, and I hope more people do. This chapter takes place just about where we left off. Also in response to needles, well... not really. Even though both want to be together.

The Hub

Come As You Are- Nirvana

As Jennifer continued the hug Ryan grew a bit nauseas. "You can let go anytime now Jen." he said. She smiled as she let go of him.

"Sorry." she replied. "It's just been awhile since I saw you."

"Only three days Jen." he replied.

"Yeah well that's a long time to not see someone when they live less than a mile away from you." she replied. "I've just missed you so much I can't express it in words.

Christian's Bedroom

Panic Song- Green Day

Christian turned in his sleep dreaming about Kathy. In his dreams he held her in his arms with her green eyes looking up at him while he ran his fingers through her long flowing blond hair. He turned and his eyes opened. "Damn it!" he yelled. He then got up and grabbed his coat from his closet. He put on his Adidas' and left the house in the middle of the night. He got on his bike and rode as fast as he could.

He knew where he was going to. He was going to find her. He rode down the street he lived on and made a sharp turn onto a main road. 20 minuets later he stood in the driveway of her house. He knew he couldn't just go and knock on the door. It was just half past midnight.

He went around back and picked up a handful of rocks. He tossed one lightly at the window to the far left. He saw a light flash on and a balding man of no older than 48 look out the window. He dived behind a bush to evade the mans sight. After a minute or two he got back out from the bushes and tried another window, and nothing happened. He threw a second rock at it, nothing again. Finally he through a third rock and it went crashing through the window with a loud crash and then the sound of glass tinkling down onto the ground. "Shit!" he yelled. He ran off as fast as he could.

Point Place High

Rape Me- Nirvana

Tyler and Ryan still were suspended while the petition circulated its way up to the Point Place School Board. On the bulletin board on the cafeteria wall a sign that said, "Sign up for the foreign exchange program now!" in giant, bold letters. Jennifer happened to be walking with her lunch tray and noticed the sign. As she read it one of the Senior's on the schools football team knocked into her making her spill her food all over the ground. "Bastard." she muttered at him. Ketchup stained the black zip-up hooded sweatshirt she was wearing.

She picked the plastic pouch with milk in it and the straw and sat down to the right of Stephanie. She jabbed the straw in and milk spurt out in her face. Justin laughed quietly to himself. "Looks like you're having a bad day." MJ said sitting down next to Jennifer.

"Not as bad as Kurt Cobain did when Love killed him." Jennifer replied. MJ rolled her eyes in an agreeing sort of manner. Jennifer snatched a napkin off of Stephanie's tray and wiped the ketchup that was on her blue jeans.

"So do you think we're gonna get Ryan and Tyler back by the end of the year?" Justin questioned.

"If those dumbasses on the school board approve of them coming back," Justin replied. "Which is unlikely. Korpala's wife is more or less the president of that form of "government" that runs the schools." He set the purple tinted glasses he usually wore down on the table. "Of course it's majority rules in this "democracy" run country." He took a sip out of the Sprite can on his tray. "It's more or less military dictatorship."

MJ rolled her eyes again. "Come on now Justin." she said. "Why is it always the so-called "governments"," as she said this she used air-quotes for 'governments', "Fault about everything that goes wrong?" She pushed her crimson red bangs out of her eyes and grinned slyly.

"Whatever." Justin replied in a zen-like mood.

Point Place School Board

When I Come Around- Green Day

The nine members of the school board passed the petition to get both Ryan and Tyler back into the school. Mr. Korpala's wife sat at the head of the table. "I stand by my husbands decision!" she spat.

"Can we get a non-biased opinion from the man's wife here?" a man of Latino descent questioned. "I mean, she should not be able to vote seeing as it's her husband."

"I'm the chairman of the board here!" she hissed at him.

"No you are a woman, and Iggy Pop is the chairman of the board." he replied. "You are the chairwoman of the not-so-broad." The other members laughed at the comment.

"Okay, so Mrs. Korpala over here, vote will not count seeing as it's biased?" a blond haired woman across the table asked.

"That's right." another member said.

"Ok, so pass out the papers and we'll have a silent vote." another member said. The man sitting next to the blond haired woman passed out small sheets of paper and pens which would be used as the ballots to decide whether the two would be allowed back into the school. Several minuets passed and finally all ballots were in.

"So it's unanimous." the man of Latino decent said. "It's a 6-2 vote."

The Basement

Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd

Smoke hung heavily in the basement air. The familiar four chairs sat around the table. In them sat Hyde, Eric, Kelso, and Fez. "Whoa man." Eric said. "I forgot what this felt like.

"You know Forman man," Hyde said. "I'm surprised we waited so long to do this again. I mean, it's been ages." Fez took out a Pez dispenser and opened the head and popped about five of the little candy pieces into his mouth.

"Ah delicious candy." he said. "How I miss you so."

"What are you talkin' about Fez?" Kelso asked. "You're always eating candy!"

"Well I haven't had any all day Kelso!" Fez yelled. "Oh I am so sorry my friend." Hyde scoffed.

"Just like you to always be sorry Fez." he muttered. Hyde handed Eric a bag of french fries. Eric took a hand full and put them on the table. He then picked up two and jammed them into his mouth.

"Got any ketchup man?" he asked.

"Nope." Hyde replied.

"Wait." Eric said. "Where did you make these?"

"Dryer like back in the day." Hyde replied

"Alright." Eric said in that "far out" kind of tone.

Higher Ground- Red Hot Chili Peppers

Up in his room Ryan lay sprawled out on his bed with Iron Maiden playing in the background. He looked over at the clock. It was 2:00. Only an hour more to go without any company. His window opened and Jennifer crawled in. "Hey." she said smiling.

"Hey." he replied turning his head towards her.

"In the metal head mood today?" she asked. He smiled and laughed.

"Yup." he replied. "Couldn't find Master Of Puppets so I had to deal with this." Jennifer rolled her eyes. "Come on, no way is Iron Maiden better than Metallica. Both very different metal bands but one is better than the other."
"With Metallica being the better one?" she replied slyly.

"But of course." he replied. "So I hear there's a new Guitar Shop downtown."

"Hell yeah." she replied. "It's hardcore. They've got so much stuff." He laughed. "It was hilarious. Steph, Christian, MJ, Tyler, and me all went down there and hung out for awhile-"

"Wait, whoa." Ryan said. "Tyler can go out?"

"Yeah, Kelso trusts him now." she replied. "So anyways, on with the story. So Christian was looking at all the different instruments and he thought that the keyboards were made to be pushed down real hard and he ended up almost breaking the damn thing." She laughed again and pushed some of the golden-blond hair out of her face. "Luckily we stopped him. Then Tyler had to go and be an ass and play all the drums in the place." Ryan rolled his eyes.

"Any good deals over there?" he asked.

"Yeah, a lot." she replied. "They've got some nice Les Paul's for about one grand."

"Major deal." he replied.

"Tell me about it." Jennifer laughed. "Told the guy behind the counter to save that guitar for you." Ryan smiled at her. "He didn't make any guarantees, but he said that he'd keep it in mind."

"Yeah, well I don't even have enough money for that." he replied.

"Well go and sell Amazing Spider-Man #1, and you'll be a millionaire." she joked.

"No way!" he exclaimed. "Spider-Man's way too cool to be sold!" Jennifer rolled her eyes and laughed.

"You sound so much like your dad." she laughed.

A/N: Sorry for the incredibly long wait, but I got all tied up and whatnot. Stadium Arcadium comes out tomorrow! Woo!
