DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN THE MOVIE OR THE CHARACTERS. HOWEVER I DO OWN THIS STORY AND MY IMAGINATION SO THE CHARACTERS ARE AND DO WHAT I WANT THEM TO. SORRY IF THAT BOTHERS YOU.
Over the next 3 weeks Toby and Austin became best friends and brother, and Madison and Sam became best friends and sisters. Wherever one couple was, ninety percent of the time the other was also present. The other ten percent was quality time. Five percent of quality time was couples the other five percent was spent with respective best friends.
During the first week Madison confided in Sam that cheerleading wasn't for her and she wanted to quit. Sam convinced her to tell Toby. Toby was a bit miffed over how long Madison held it from him but he completely understood her and suggested she quit before she even mentioned it. He also apologized for putting her in an uncomfortable situation, and unintentionally forcing her to do something she didn't enjoy. Also Sam called Fiona's bluff and moved in with Austin. Austin's mother approved of Sam and considered her a daughter, Austin's dad was on the fence with her and the relationship.
The second week Shelby was up to her tricks again. Now Sam was not only a "man stealer" but she was also a "best friend stealer". The four friends (Sam, Madison, Austin, and Toby) were standing at Austin's locker discussing whether they wanted McDonald's or Burger King when Shelby walked up and called Sam out of her name. Sam began counting to ten so she wouldn't do anything she'd regret and get suspended. Austin just stood there fist clenched. Toby looked back and forth between Austin and Shelby. Toby was still waiting for Austin to step up and put Shelby in her place, and stand up for Sam. After seeing he still wouldn't stand up he shook his head and pulled Madison back who had advanced up and got in Shelby's face calling her every name but the one her mother gave her. Then Toby dismissed Shelby. Sam shot Austin a dirty look and rolled her eyes. Madison turned on Toby with questioning eyes. He gave her a look that clearly said 'don't go there.' Needless to say lunch was awkward until Sam pointed out that that with every one mad at each other they were giving Shelby what they wanted. Then everything was fine.
The third week was smooth sailing. The big game was coming up next week. So the couples hardly hung out that week. So Madison and Sam became inseparable. Madison told Sam to start speaking up for herself if Austin wouldn't. Sam confided in Madison that she was scared that she wouldn't know how to stop if she did. Maddi told Sam that Austin, Toby, and most of all she had her back. Austin and Toby strengthened their bond and had each other's back. Toby told Austin the next time he didn't stick up for Sam, that he'd kick the threats butt and then Austin's. That weekend the couples were glued together having missed each other and hanging out. That weekend Toby declared Sam his sister and Sam claimed his as her brother. And Austin claimed Madison as his sister and Madison claimed him as her brother.
REALIZING REALITY
"Sadi, d'ya see them?" Sam asked walking into the school hand in hand with her best friend, calling her by one of her special nickname.
"No Mamantha. I don't. Toby said that we wouldn't have time together until lunch last night over the phone." Madison replied.
"Austin told me the same last night before he knocked out."Sam said. "Well…"
"Yeah I know." Madison said.
The two best friends sighed at the same time then proceeded to say "This sucks." They giggled and shook their heads. They were always completing each other's sentences or saying the same things.
"Best friend S what are we going to do for four whole periods?" Madison asked Sam dramatically.
"I know. Our boyfriends have abandoned us, whatever shall we do?" Sam replied in the same manner.
"Ladies never fear Zorro is here!" Carter said greeting them from behind Sam.
"Carter." Madison said sending him a friendly smile.
"Madison." Carter responded.
"Sam." Sam said feeling a bit left out.
The three friends laughed. Carter was now officially dating Aimee and was occupied with dates, quality time, and auditions. However he and Aimee had hung out with the couples one time and they seemed to fit in just fine.
"What's up Carter?" Sam asked covering a yawn.
Before Carter could answer some random guy ran down the hall with no shirt, and face painted green screaming "GO FROGS!"
"Oh" Madison said giggling "Wow." Sam joined in with her.
Carter looked violated. This caused the girls to try and cover their giggles but they failed miserably.
Finally snapping back Carter replied "Nothing just thought I'd come say hi to my two favorite girls."
"Awww." The girls said together.
A loud cheer went up throughout the hallway and the foot ball team and cheer leaders walked through the hallway. Sam's eyes immediately sought Austin's, and found him looking right back at her. He was tired and stressed. Sam knew that lunch time would be nap time.
As if reading her thought Madison said while looking over her brother "Toby said that the Coach and his Dad have been working him really hard."
"I know." Sam replied.
Austin winked at Sam while giving her a tired smile. Sam mouthed I love you before he hit the corner and proceeded to the football field.
The bell rand and everyone dispersed to their respective classes.
REALIZING REALITY
Sam was worried about Austin so she decided to ditch fourth period and watch the ;last hour and a half of practice. She was not surprised to find Madison in the stands focused on her play brother; And Toby trailing his brother. They were all worried about him. He looked as though if the wind blew him he'd fall right over.
When Sam took a seat next to Madison, Madison greeted her with "You need to take him home at lunch Sammy-Sam. He doesn't look so good."
"Already ahead of you Maddi." Sam said, before the next heartbeat.
All of a sudden there was a big commotion on the field. Austin's father yelled his name and Madison and Sam shot out of their seats. Sam saw Toby on the ground kneeling next to Austin.
"Madison, what is going on?" Sam asked near hyperventilating.
No reply came so Sam turned to the spot where Madison had been standing , and with tears in her eyes, she found no one there. She turned her focus back to Austin and found Madison standing next to Toby, motioning for Sam to join them. Sam sped down to the field next to her love. Toby explained that Austin had collapsed because he hadn't eaten and wasn't well rested. Sam felt herself getting angry.
"Where's his bag T?" Sam asked in a voice that clearly showed she was not happy and wasn't taking any mess.
Toby sensing this immediately pointed out where it was.
"Madison, can you" Sam began to ask.
"Already on it honey." Madison said heading towards the spot Toby pointed to.
"Brother, do you think you can carry him to the" Sam was more than halfway through asking.
"Sure thing sis." Toby said cutting her off.
"Got it." Madison said returning with the bag.
Sam unzipped the gym bag and searched around for the car keys. She was surprised to find that she had two outfits, including socks and shoes, in his gym bag. Finally, she found the keys at the bottom of the bag.
"Ok, I'm going to pull the car around. Meet me there." Sam said and stood up and turned around to find Austin's Dad glaring down at her.
"Where do you think your taking my son?" He asked.
"Home to rest sir." Sam said trying to remain polite. This man did not like her , and after this week she could honestly say she wasn't too fond of him.
"Austin doesn't need to rest, he needs to get up and practice." Al said raising his voice.
Sam had had enough. She stepped up to him and calmly said "With all due respect Mr. Al, Austin needs to rest and eat. You have been pushing him way too hard. If your goal is to burn him out before the big game then it'd be smart to let him stay and practice. But if you want him well enough to play tonight then let me take him to get his rest and a good meal. I'll have him back in time for locker room procedures. Oh and a word of advice, start caring about your son as much as you care about the game. You only have one Austin, there is plenty of games." Sam then stepped around him and went to get the car.
REALIZING REALITY
Austin finally came back to life for 5 minutes in the car, inquiring what happened. Sam told him. Then he promptly drifted off to sleep. Sam chuckled and proceeded to call Toby to see if they could crash at his place. Toby readily agreed, and told Sam he would pick up lunch and see them shortly after 5th period.
When Sam parked in front of Toby's house she unbuckled her seat belt and looked over at Austin. She couldn't help but smile at his snoring and his position. His head was thrown back and his mouth was slightly open. Sam leaned over and placed a ghost of a kiss right beneath his ear and gently said "Wake up baby."
Her only response from him was a long snore.
Sam giggled and Austin smirked and opened one eye.
"There's my handsome eyes." Sam said softly caressing Austin's face. "Come on love, let's go get some rest."
REALIZING REALITY
Toby and Madison walked into Toby's room with lunch from the diner. The scene before them was not only comedic but cute.
Sam lay fast asleep on Austin, in his arms, with his Varsity hoodie on; While Austin laid wide awake watching and contently holding her.
"Pretty sure you're supposed to be the one resting bro." Toby said as he led Madison over to his couch and coffee table.
"Shut up." Madison teasingly told her boyfriend. "She needs her rest too. She's barely been getting any sleep at all making sure Austin gets sleep."
"She has?" Austin asked confused. Then it hit him. Sam had been taking care of him for the past two weeks. She would ice his sore spots and then keep heat packs on them. She gave him back rubs and massages and played in his hair till he fell asleep. He could recall nine nights over the last two weeks where he would wake in the morning and find her smiling sleepily down at him. "She has."
"Well unfortunately need to wake her up." Toby said as he set up lunch. "You all know how my little sister is about food."
Austin and Madison chuckled and nodded. Samantha Montgomery became Godzilla himself when she did not eat.
