A/N: This chapter takes place in season 4 episode 16, Eye of the Tiger. This chapter is named after the song Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings. This chapter had been slightly edited due to a decision I made for the next chapter. This chapter contains a few bad words.

"So what do you wanna do?" Liberty asked. JT had come over to her house and they were outside.

"I can think of something," JT grinned and stepped closer to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and he felt her soft hands on the back of his neck. He leaned in closer and touched his lips to her's for a small kiss.

"I like this idea," she grinned back.

"Well, let's do it some more." He took her hand and gently pulled her over to the steps in front of her house. He sat on the steps and she sat next to him, pulling her legs onto his lap. This time she was the one to lean in and start the kiss, pressing her lips onto his. Resting one hand on her thighs and the other on her back, he was intoxicated by the sweet smell of her vanilla lavender perfume. The calming sound of the wind set the perfect mood, as did the warm temperature and the sun shining down on them. Her fingers stroked his hair. His lips tasted like jelly, probably from his chap stick.

"Your lips taste like sweet jelly," she said after pulling away. They both leaned back in for another intense kiss, but were interrupted by Danny.

"Hey Liberty, how's your mono?" Danny sneered.

"Bravo, Daniel, you've discovered humor," Liberty fired back.

"JT, the skate park awaits," said Danny.

"As does the hot tub, a perfect 105 Fahrenheit, 40.56 degrees Celsius. Just checked," Liberty said.

"Did you check the chlorine level?" asked Danny.

"It's bromine, my little rottweiler," replied Liberty.

"Still not strong enough to kill any fungus growing on you." Danny motioned to JT.

"You know what? My shorts double as a bathing suit," said JT.

"JT!" called out Danny.

"Rolling on the concrete with you, or rolling in the water with your sister. I choose the second option," said JT.

"If dad catches you in there together he'll…" Danny started, but was interrupted by Liberty.

"He won't, because if he comes home, you'll give us a signal."

"Something obnoxious. Like a bark," JT grinned.

JT took off his shirt and got in the hot tub with Liberty.

"Shall we continue what Danny interrupted a few minutes ago?" JT asked. To answer his question, Liberty kissed him again.

Their makeout session had continued on for a while.

"Out! Now!" roared an irate voice. They had been interrupted again, this time by Liberty's dad.

"We were just…" Liberty tried to explain.

"JT, go home," Mr. Van Zandt said, furious. JT picked up his shirt and left quickly.

"JT's one of my oldest friends!" Liberty argued.

"He's also a teenage boy! You want to see JT again? Wait until you're twenty," Mr. Van Zandt finished the argument and went inside. Danny grinned.

The next day, Liberty went to talk to JT at his locker. "JT…"

He looked at her. "Yeah?"

"I'm sorry about my dad yesterday. He can be kind of strict sometimes," said Liberty.

"It's fine. I blame Danny, anyway," he replied.

"So do I," Liberty agreed. "Trust me, I'll be talking to him tonight."

"I gotta get to my next class. See you later in Kwan's class," JT said, briefly kissing Liberty on the cheek.

"You know it's against the code for a guy to hook up with his best friend's sister," said Danny after school.

"The code? Somebody cue the laugh track," retorted JT.

"Fine. She's my sister, and you don't have my permission to go out with her."

"Excuse me?"

"She's the smartest girl in school and you don't even have an IQ! You don't deserve her!"

"That's too bad, because the smartest girl in school thinks I do," JT fired back again.

"I guess you'll need her help to read the instructions to your penis pump!" Danny threatened.

"Danny… I swear…"

Danny shoved JT, and JT shoved him back. They started pushing and shoving each other while a crowd formed to watch the fight. JT was giving Danny a wedgie, but when Danny tried to escape, he was pushed onto the ground, hitting his head.

"Danny!" Liberty called out.

"Liberty he…" JT tried to explain.

"He's bleeding," she said, "My brother's bleeding because of you." Liberty helped Danny up, and they walked off. JT mentally scolded himself.

Shit! Why did I do that? I should've just ignored Danny instead of fighting him! JT mentally scolded himself.

"Wait, why did you beat up Danny again?" asked Toby while JT was explaining his situation to him.

"Danny and I were arguing because he doesn't want me to date his sister. We started fighting because he threatened to tell her about my penis pump!" JT explained again. "Me pushing him down and him hitting his head was an accident. She didn't answer any of my phone calls or emails last night. What do I do?" JT desperately begged Toby for help. "I haven't had much relationship experience."

"I haven't had much experience either! I've only been with Kendra. And she broke up with me," Toby reminded JT. "She's by her locker. Go try to talk to her," Toby suggested. JT looked in the direction of Liberty's locker and looked back at Toby who nodded. JT looked back at Liberty and started walking towards her locker slowly.

"Liberty, can we talk?" JT said feeling anxious.

"I have to get to class," she said, not even looking at him. Her icy words chilled him. Not looking back, Liberty walked away.

"Shit," JT muttered under his breath and walked back to Toby. "She wouldn't even look at me," JT told his best friend.

"Maybe try apologizing to Danny?" Toby tried again to help his friend.

"Like he'll want to talk to me," JT said quietly. "I screwed up. She's probably gonna break up with me." Toby had never seen his friend so down. He realized how much JT actually cared for his girlfriend.

After school Liberty went straight to her room to work on homework. She found herself restless and unable to concentrate, thoughts about the last two days replaying in her mind on an infinite loop. Her whole body filled with sadness as she realized she had probably ruined her relationship. She had been trying to still be Danny's protective older sister, but she realized she had let Danny and JT's stupid fight get between her relationship. She had blamed JT for it and now regretted the way she treated him earlier. You've waited for years for JT to finally like you. He finally goes out with you, and you ruin it for practically nothing! Liberty rebuked herself. She heard a knock on her door. Without waiting for an answer, Danny barged in.

"Liberty?" Danny asked.

"Go away," Liberty said coldly, trying not to show her feelings.

"What did you see in him? He's just JT!" Danny hadn't seemed to listen to what Liberty had just said.

"He was my boyfriend," Liberty said, her sadness making its way into her voice. Danny heard the faint trace of sadness in his sister's voice, and became aware of how much JT meant to her. Danny knew Liberty hadn't many friends, and had only had one boyfriend before. Danny also knew about the crush Liberty had on JT since grade 7. Thinking about all this, Danny silently left the room.

After an hour of thinking, Danny had made the decision to try and help out his friend and his sister. He would get JT and Liberty back together. He had thought out his plan thoroughly, and the first step of his plan was to talk to JT. There was still an hour before dinner, so he figured he'd have time to go talk to JT at his house.

10 minutes later, Danny was in front of JT's house, knocking at the door. JT's grandmother answered.

"Hello, Danny. I assume you're looking for JT. He's in his room," said JT's grandmother.

"Thanks, Mrs. Cooney," Danny replied and went up the stairs. He knocked on JT's bedroom door. JT opened the door.

"Danny?" he asked, confused.

"Yep, it's me!"

JT decided to take Toby's advice from earlier and apologize to Danny for hurting him. "Look, Danny. I'm really sorry for hurting you in our little fight yesterday."

"It's alright. I guess I shouldn't have threatened you with your penis pump. And I guess it was also wrong of me to tell you you can't date my sister. You can date her," Danny said.

"Not sure she'll take me back. She's been avoiding me all day," JT scoffed.

"Trust me, man. She does still like you. You know her. She's just being stubborn," Danny told JT. "I know how I can get her to talk to you tomorrow."

"How?" JT asked.

"Meet me in my backyard tomorrow morning before school," Danny said, then left.

"Danny, what is so important that out here right before school? We have to get going!" Liberty said.

"You'll see," Danny replied, leading his sister towards the backyard.

Danny opened the fence and Liberty saw JT standing in the backyard. Liberty started to turn around to leave, but Danny stopped her.

"Liberty, wait. JT didn't do anything. I started the fight," Danny admitted.

"He didn't have to finish it," Liberty shot back.

"Liberty?" called out Mr. Van Zandt.

"Hide!" Danny whispered to both Liberty and JT. They both started running to the corner of the yard, where they couldn't be seen. They both sat on the grass while Danny talked to Mr. Van Zandt.

They sat in silence until JT finally spoke. "Liberty, I'm sorry. For fighting with your brother. And hurting him," JT said.

Liberty realized she needed to apologize, too. "I'm sorry, too. For blaming you for the fight and for ignoring you yesterday."

"So.. are we still together?" JT asked.

Liberty leaned closer to him and crashed her lips onto his. "What do you think?" she said sarcastically. JT smiled and kissed her back, which quickly turned into one of their long make-out sessions. JT missed her smooth lips and Liberty missed his gentle touch.

"Guys! The coast is clear!" Danny called out. Neither heard Danny, only focusing on each other.

"Oh gross! I give up!" Danny walked out of the backyard when he saw them kissing.

Liberty pulled away after a few more seconds. "We'll still have to date in secret. My dad doesn't want us together."

"I don't care. If he finds out, he'll tear us apart. I don't want that to happen. He'll never know," JT said. Liberty blushed. "I'll walk to school with you," JT said.

They stood up, walking together hand in hand.
