Life In NYC

Recap:

"Why what's goin on?" Troy asked.

"There's another train coming up behind us and we're not moving, and its not stopping." She told him. Everyone immediately got off as the train behind them came to a screeching halt. Four people exited the train.

"Hey Stella look" One of them said pointing at two different things.

"333, I gotta call Mac." The woman with curly hair said.

The guy turned around and Nikki saw his face. "Don!" She shouted running up to him. Leaving the rest of her new found friends confused.

End Recap

"Nikki?" The tall man with dark hair and stunning blue asked question as she came towards him. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Well my roommates and their boyfriends wanted to see New York City, so I decided to show them around. What happened to the train?" she asked as Don waved to her friends.

"Someone hijacked it." Don simply stated.

"What? How? No one got off that train other than you guys."

"We think it was remotely, look can we talk about this later? I got to move crime scene tape and get back to Lex before she spas out." Don said walking up the steps.

"But you love her anyways. The train safe to get on?" she shouted at him.

"Yes Nikki, just go have fun." He replied then disappeared out of sight.

The gang walked up to her. "Who was that?" Jason asked her.

"My brother Don. Now lets go before that officer over there spots me." She said point to a heavy set guy in a blue uniform chatting with another officer. The gang did not need to be told twice as the guy Nikki had pointed out just a few seconds ago had a scowl on his face and was walking towards them. The quickly got on the train Nikki getting on last turning around just in time to see the doors close right on the officers face. "Nice try pita bread maybe some other time. Kay?" she said smiling. The officer just grunted as the train started to move.

"What was that all about?" Chad asked chuckling a little.

"That there was Officer Pita. He hates my brothers guts, so he's been trying to pin things on me since he met me. Plus that and every time I see him I tell him he looks like pita bread." She smiled. The gang chatted the rest of the way to Times Square. Little did they know that they were being watch from someone at the front of the car. After getting of the train they walked up the steps and the closer they got to the top the louder the noise got. The streets were bustling with activity in Times Square, thousands of people walking around, double that amount of cars driving around constantly honking their horns. "Welcome to Time Square." Nikki smiled looking around.

A serious of 'wows', and 'oohs' came from the mouths of the East High graduates which caused Nikki just to chuckle a little bit.

"This is just like the pictures." Jason commented.

"There's not that much to do around here cept shop. My favorite place is Madison Square Garden that's where the New York Knicks play. I love going to their games."

"Who you like basketball?" Zeke asked as the girls groaned.

"uh yeah. That, football, hockey, and soccer." She told him.

"Your roommate rocks girls." Chad comments.

"Why?" Nikki asked slightly confused.

"All the guys cept Ryan play basketball. That's all they talk about 24/7." Taylor explain.

"Cool, but I wouldn't talk about it 24/7 there's more to life then just a game." Nikki said which got a smile from girls. "Come on I'll show you guys Central Park." While they were walking, the girls spent the time talking to their boyfriends. Jason made his way over to Nikki.

"Hey" He said coming up beside her.

"Hey how are you enjoying New York City so far?" She asked stealing a glance at him.

"It's been good. But then again I've only been here for not even 24 hours."

"True true, soon you'll be saying why did I come here it's too chaotic."

"I don't know about that. So we know you love basketball, football and soccer. What else do you like?" He asked her.

"Havin fun, and hanging with friends. Lately I've been enjoying being out of high school, and helping my soon to be sister-in-law with the wedding, she's a detective too. So what do you like to do besides basketball?" she asked him.

"Well let's see I like to play hockey and baseball too. And I just like to live life. Oh and sing."

"Wow singing? I didn't see that coming. That is amazing you like different things." She smiled as they entered Central Park. The rest of the day the gang visited the Empire State Building, the Statute of Liberty, and Radio City. Before returning to the girls dorm room, the gang stopped in Little Italy and got some pizza and soda taking it back to NYU with them. It was around midnight when the guys finally left. But before it all Nikki pulled Jason aside to talk to him. "I was wondering I have to go to dinner with my brother and his co-workers tomorrow night, would you like to come with me. I know if you don't.."

"Nikki"

"want to its ok. I just need some company and…"

"Nikki!"

"what?"

"Yes I would like to go with you tomorrow night." He told her, with a smile.
