Chapter 30

Saturday December 30th, 2006
8:45 a.m.
Grissom Townhouse

The morning of the day before New Years Eve found the gang gathered at the now, officially once again, Grissom Townhouse. Spread throughout the front room, pretty much turning the room into one large picnic, were Gil and Sara; Jessica, Nick, Jim, Greg, Mia, and Catherine, Warrick, Lindsey, Abby, and little Bertie; along with Chris, Jack, and Laura, although the younger children were with godparents rather than their own parents. Sara had claimed fourteen-month Abby the moment everyone arrived, while Gil had been presented with his and Nick's four-month-old namesake not long after.

Forty-five minutes into their rather strange brunch, Laura picked up a turnover before looking around the room. "We've heard a rumor," she began with a smile.

"You have?" Sara asked looking over at her mother, one eyebrow raised. "Should I be afraid of whatever this rumor is about?"

"Oh, I'd be very afraid Sunshine," Chris smiled evil and she looked over at him in question.

"Okay, we have to ask. What's up?" Catherine spoke up as the three Sidles shared devious looks over Sara's unknowing head.

"Well, we heard that last time Scorpio was here, you had an impromptu sing-a-long," Laura answered.

"One with Grease music even," Jack continued.

"Oh God," Sara groaned. "Scor, I'm going to kill you."

"But then you'd be lost without me," Chris answered with a smirk.

"Don't bet on it."

"How come you're bringing Grease up?" Jessica asked curious

"Because Laura is an evil woman," Jack answered before ducking as his wife reached over to smack him.

"Not really an explanation there..." Warrick pointed out.

"Yeah it's not like we didn't know that. Considering Sara had to get it from somewhere and it only made sense she'd get it from her mother since Scor here is completely missing the whole evil genius thing she's got going and since he and their dad share that whole brownie deal...two plus two does equal four," Greg added.

Laura, Jack, and Chris all turned to look at Greg, just blinking at him as they stared at him. After a few moments Greg began to glance around. "Umm...why are they staring at me like that?"

"Good to know I'm not the only one who gets unnerved by the Sidle death stare," Gil mused before Sara laughed.

"Anyway, alright you three, release the killer death glare, the poor boy does need to live even if it is only to bend to Mia's every beck and call since she's finally got him trained," Sara spoke up as she shifted the girl on her lap who was playing with her dolly.

"Fair enough. Besides, he's entirely too perfect to have next to you when playing Jesters," Chris conceded as he looked away from Greg.

"Oh, they know Jesters?" Jack asked with a smile.

"We told you about that insane game Jack.," Jessica spoke up as Laura finally looked away from Greg and the younger man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh that's right. That means we must have a Jesters tournament. Teams even," Jack announced as he rubbed his hands together and evil look twinkling in his eyes. "Teams of three, I claim Scorpio and Grissom."

"If we're doing teams, then I get my girl childs," Laura spoke up.

"You know, you're lucky that there would be an even number of threes left in the adults. But then again we have to teach Lindsey so that would ruin the perfect numbering," Sara pointed out.

"Fiddle Faddle," Jack grumbled.

"Anyway, before we went on a Jesters planning spree. We were discussing Grease?" Nick began steering the subject back.

"He's right. We were," Chris agreed and Sara groaned once more.

"Do we ask why Miss Sunshine doesn't like the mentioning of Grease?" Jim teased.

"Do I need to remind you what happened last time we mentioned that event? I found out my brother had heard quite intimate details about my love life from my then boyfriend..."

"You told her that he told you that?" Jack asked looking at his son in shock.

"Wait, you know what I'm talking about?" Sara asked looking over at her father, her mouth dropping open. "Good God, who doesn't know that information...oh my God, my father knows about my...oh, that's just so wrong," Sara groaned as she slumped against Gil.

"We don't' know the information," Greg spoke up. "But I'm sure we'd love to hear," he continued before ducking as a pillow flew his way and Jessica glared from where she was sitting, having just thrown the pillow.

"It's official," Sara began with a sigh as she sat up. "My family is beyond strange. And those brownies went straight to both Jack and Scor's wits. But, I'm going to ignore the fact my boyfriend told my brother details of our relationship, that my brother proceeded to share with our father, and just have my mother continue her story before any other horrifying events that my father may know about come to light and destroy what little normalcy I have."

"Sounds like a plan to me, Firelight," Laura agreed with a smile. "So, I was going to say, Grease is my favorite musical, though Grease two is actually above it, but really now. So, as you all know, Sara and Jessica met in 1985, and we got to drag the poor girl into our insane world," she began with a wink towards Jessica. And in 1988, for Halloween, the group decided to do a theme. They got some of Scorpio's friends, Thomas was there, and they all picked a major character, from Sandy and Danny to Patti and Eugene, and did a performance at the bed and breakfast for the holiday. I believe Sunshine's words were "It beats Trick-or-Treating when you're a teenager."

"It did. The looks you got if you went around trick or treating after twelve were just scary," Sara pointed out.

"Hey! I'll have you know I still go Trick-or-Treating!" Greg and Chris cried in unison and everyone looked at them before shaking their heads.

"You still go Trick-or-Treating? That's sad," Lindsey added.

"Oh, I think you just got dissed," Warrick laughed and the two rolled their eyes.

"Anyway," Laura began with a laugh. "By that time, Scorpio was in college, Sunshine in high school, and Jessie girl was in middle school. That June saw the insane number of graduations. Scorpio from college, Sunshine from high school, and Jessie girl from middle school."

"Dang, do things in threes?" Lindsey asked with a laugh.

"Always," Chris answered with a laugh of his own. "After that I went to Nevada and 'roamed'."

"Roamed?" Jessica snorted. "You mean you sat around all day and did nothing."

"I did something!" Chris protested amongst the laughter of the room.

"Oh yes, he watched cartoons. That reminds me, who was your favorite again? Rainbow Bright or Strawberry Shortcake?" Sara teased.

"Neither of them; give me Transformers any day;" Chris answered rolling his eyes before realizing he'd just dug his hole even deeper. "Oh, for crying out loud Princess, must you always do that to me?"

"I didn't do a thing," Sara smiled. "You're the one with the shovel brother dear."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"So anyhow, while Scor plots my demise, please continue Laura."

"Of course Sunshine, Girl," Laura smiled. "Well in 1992, I was out shopping for candy for the kids, when I came home Halloween night to find my house turned upside down."

"Oh God," Jessica groaned realizing where this was going.

"Oh God?" Nick asked curious.

"Duchess just figured out what story Laura is telling," Chris smirked before getting hit by a well-aimed napkin ball.

"Children..." Laura chided lightly. "Telling a story here."

"And you're point? We want to stop the story," Sara argued.

"Not going to happen. We'll hear it if we have to hog-tie you all," Jim countered and both Sara and Jessica sighed in defeat.

"We brought this on ourselves."

"Let them talk us into it," Jessica agreed.

"May as well get it over with."

"Might as well," Jessica agreed once more. "Do continue then," she waved her hand towards Laura and the other woman grinned.

"With pleasure, my Girl Childs. So, I came home to find my house completely different. The entire first floor had been turned into sets. From the movie Grease 2."

"Yup, we turned the living room into a bowling alley, the kitchen was a classroom, and the dinning room was an auditorium, with the morning room directly off it being behind the 'stage'. And the front yard became anywhere outside. We even had a school cafeteria in the library."

"Interesting thing to find after all. Only got more interesting when my darling life mate appeared with a homemade playbill and pulled me along to outside, where a sign saying welcome back class of '62 was against the house, and some twenty people were spread across the yard. Moments later music began, and first my son appeared on a motorcycle no less, with my nephew Nikolas, and two of his best friends. Then my daughters appeared with Scorpio's then girlfriend and a girl from Sunshine and Jessie girl's music school...it was crazy. Then to top that off the girl who had played Frenchie in the production of Grease four years earlier...and little Brianna showed up...then Thomas..."

"Needless to say we went through a lot of work because it was the tenth anniversary of Grease 2 and Scor managed to bribe the lot of us into doing it," Sara spoke up with a smile. "And no, I'm not going to break into a rousing rendition of Cool Rider, so don't even suggest it Scorpio," she warned glaring at her brother.

"Never would have dreamed," he answered with a smile. "Besides, there's no need."

"What do you mean there's no need?" Sara asked looking towards him with narrowed eyes. "What am I missing?"

"Beats me, but I'm right there with you in the lost category," Jessica agreed as she looked at her surrogate family. "Wait a minute, wasn't that the year after Jack got that new video camera?" she asked in dawning horror and embarrassment.

"Oh dear mother of God," Sara cried as she let her chin fall against her chest. "You have footage of this, don't you?"

"Yes we do," Chris answered with a smile.

"Footage we brought with us," Jack continued with an evil grin.

"And this is a problem why?" Catherine asked

"We have footage of Sara in leather pants that we had to sew her into."

"Yeah, they went under my other costumes the damn things were so tight," Sara groaned. "I was never so happy to strip out of my clothes in my life as I was the night I was able to cut the threads and be free of those."

"Well, technically you got to cut those threads before the final scene…" Jessica pointed out.

"Oh I know…now that was heaven," Sara smiled in memory.

"So, this sounds like an interesting night…" Catherine laughed.

"Oh it was. The entire neighborhood was either involved or ended up part of the traveling audience," Laura continued. "But, we have a tape here…"

"Save us," Sara groaned before shaking her head. "Oh well, might as well get it out of the way. Thank God they don't have film of all those productions the school did."

"Oh definitely," Jessica agreed with a smile.

"Productions?" Nick asked.

"Oklahoma! Actual Grease on stage, Sara was Rizzo through school…then we did Jesus Christ Superstar, and a few dozen other various shows. Be they actual stage shows or just a series of songs in our annual concert," Jessica explained.

"Interesting," Nick mused. "Who knew our quiet, one time anti-social Sara was a stage star in her home town."

"I wasn't exactly a stage star," Sara argued.

"Okay, I stand corrected. But you still got up on stage and did all these Halloween things, definitely something we would have laughed at had we heard about a few years ago."

"Exactly Nicky," Sara smiled. "So, shall we get this over with?"

"She makes it sound like we're killing her," Laura mused before handing the tape over to Jack who handed it to Chris who popped it in the player and turned the TV on. "Okay brief introduction to the characters. Scorpio is Johnny Nogerelli, leader of the T-Birds and all around "cool guy". His friend Peter is Louis DiMucci, his second who's goal in life is to get to third base with his girlfriend Sharon. Their friend Dick is Goose Mckenzie, Johnny's best friend and basic tag-along. Last of the T-Birds is Davey Jaworski, the little one in the group who is probably the smartest, but his only dream is to one day own his own cycle. Davey is played by Jack's nephew Nikolas. The girls are Sunshine as Stephenie Zinone, leader of the Pink Ladies and coolest girl at Rydell. She dated Johnny until the summer. Next in the group is Paulette Rebchuck, played by Scorpio's then girlfriend Nicole. Paulette's dream is to be just like Marilyn Monroe. Sharon Cooper is played by Jessie girl, Sharon idolizes Jackie Kennedy as opposed to Paulette's Marilyn Monroe idolization and adores her country. The other Pink Lady is Ronda Ritter, played by another girl from Sunshine and Jessie girl' school, Anne. And the final girl is Paulette's little sister Dolores, called Woodchuck or upchuck by the creeps at the school, and her dream is to one day be the leader of her own Pink Ladies."

"Besides that, my brother Archie was Mr. Stuart, the new biology teacher, who had a crush on Miss Mason, the English teacher played by my sister-in-law Diane," Jack continued. "Then the neighbor played the principal Mrs. McGee who you might remember from the original Grease, and another neighbor was Blanche…"

"And Rachel reprised her role as Frenchie, who you should know from the original as well," Laura added. "And the final character was played by dear Thomas, he played Michael Carrington, exchange student from England who is the cousin of Sandy."

"I think you've covered the entire main cast Laura," Sara spoke as she rolled her eyes.

"Well, she has forgotten one little piece of information there, Sara," Jessica teased.

"She has?" everyone, who could speak, other than Chris, Jack, Laura, and Sara asked Jessica.

"Oh God," Sara groaned once more.

"Another 'oh God'?" Nick asked looking at his fiancé. "This is becoming a habit."

"It is," Jessica agreed with a wicked smile. "Just to prepare you for the shock of course." she began, purposely teasing Sara more by stretching out the announcement.

"Oh for the love of God! I'm blonde! Not even that, I'm baby blonde!" Sara spoke up as she threw her hands in the air in exasperation. "I am so destroying this tape after this is over," she continued shaking her head.

"Baby blonde?" Warrick, Jim, Greg, and Nick chorused, their jaws figuratively touching the ground.

"Play that tape!" Greg ordered.

"This we have to see," Nick added.

"God, I knew that would happen," Sara sighed. "You'd think they'd be more interested in the fact that you get tricked into thinking your boyfriend is talking about war when he's trying to get you in the sack Jyn, but noooo they're more interested in my blonde hair."

"Huh?" Nick asked looking back at Jessica.

"Just play the tape already," Jessica sighed before grabbing the remote from Chris and hitting play.

The show began with what had to be the outside of the Sidle Bed and Breakfast, a banner over the door just like Laura had said proclaiming "Welcome Back Class of '62". Suddenly music began and people started appearing from either side of the screen, dressed as teenagers during the early sixties, singing about how they had to 'go back to school again.'

Woe is me...all summer long I was happy and free
Save my soul, the board of education took away my parole
I gotta go back, back, back to school again
You won't find me, till the clock strikes three

I'm gonna be there till then
I gotta go back, back, back to school again
Whoa whoa, I gotta go, Back to School...AGAIN!

Suddenly the sound of motorcycle engines had the camera moving to follow as three motorcycles parked on the street and four guys dressed in leather jackets, black jeans, and perfectly done hair strolled towards the screen. In the center was Chris, a decade younger and a smirk on his lips. To his left and right were three others, one man about his height, but a smaller build than him. The second was tall, really tall and had a sort of not quite there look about him, and the last was shorter than anyone, younger obviously, and it was assumed he was Nikolaus.

"Hey Johnny, what are you going to be when you grow up?" Nikolas asked.

"A burden on society," was Chris' answer before the singing started up once more.

The next break introduced a younger Thomas as Michael Carrington, including 'Frenchie' saying "I told Sandy, any cousin of yours is a cousin of mine."

And then the singing and dancing continued before the camera zoomed in on four women. Sara, Jessica, and two others. Jessica looked much the same, just her hair was curlier and she was dressed scarily like Jackie Kennedy, pill-box hat and all. Sara was a once in a lifetime sight with shoulder length wavy baby blonde hair, but still looked like the woman they knew and loved. And Gil was sitting there with the thought that he had to get a copy of this tape so he could show any children they might have what their mother looked like when he met her, minus the blonde hair of course. The third woman looked amazingly like Marilyn Monroe, so who she was, was easy to decipher, Chris' then girlfriend Nicole. Blonde curls, a Marilyn figure even, and dressed to show off every curve of her hourglass figure.

The last woman was easily deciphered as Anne, a.k.a. Rhonda, considering she was not young enough to be Brianna, who was the same age as Nik, who was still a preteen himself.

All four were wearing Pink Lady jackets, and as the camera focused on them, they broke out into song...or was it speech...'The Pink Ladies Pledge is to act cool, to look cool and to be cool, till death do us part, Think Pink!' they sort of cheered before the song continued for the last chorus and everyone moved inside the room as a bell was heard.

The scene followed as the Pink Ladies moved to their lockers, then Thomas, a.k.a. Michael, appeared being shown around by another student, who Jack identified as their Eugene from the original movie. Thomas started towards a locker, only to have the T-Birds show up and kick him out since it was their property because T-Birds was written across the 'lockers'. After Thomas moved on, Sara and the others told them how immature they were, only to have 'Goose' and 'Louis' notice 'Rhonda' was looking in a mirror at her nose, having been commenting on how her nose was perfect from the side, but from the front it didn't belong on her face. And then mention how one day she would be on American Bandstand.

"You might turn up on Bandstand, but your beak will still be turning DOWN!" the boys announced before laughing and walking away.

"That's it! I'm getting a nose job! Goodbye nose, hello American bandstand," Anne announced as she shut her locker.

"Rhonda, I wouldn't fool around with Mother Nature if I were you," Nancy spoke up as she turned to follow after Anne.

"You fool around with everyone else, Paulette," Jessica countered before they headed off to class

The scene changed, having had a black card or something in front of the lens it appeared, and they were now outside watching as people ran around the 'field', yard. One of those traveling around the circle that represented a track was Thomas, as the Pink Ladies walked across the yard, being followed by the camera.

"So what's the story with you and Johnny?" Nancy asked.

"Let's just say I outgrew him over the summer," Sara replied.

"Well, Johnny sure hasn't lost the hots for you," Nancy argued

"Yeah well, Johnny just hasn't learned to grow up. Besides, there's gotta be more to life than makin' out," Sara pointed out

"Y'know, I never thought of it that way!" Nancy mused before it moved on to focus as a group of bikers arrived and got into a confrontation with Chris, who tried to play cool only to have his voice crack as he said 'We're bowling tonight' as an explanation for why they wouldn't have a face off that night. After Balmudo, as the leader of the gang was callled, and his group left, Nancy walked over and asked if they were bowling tonight. To which Chris announced they were and the group walked off, leaving Thomas behind to watch. Frenchie arrived and they talked, and he asked her about 'Stephenie' only to learn that, "unless he was a T-Bird, which he was not, he could look but don't touch...in fact, it was probably better if he didn't even look."

Another scene change had everyone in the room done up as a bowling alley, paintings covering the walls and benches, shelves with bowling balls...it looked almost like a real one, if it weren't for the light coming through windows that illuminated the paper paintings from behind.

Nancy was up to bowl, and walked over to a lane when Chris spoke up. "Hey Paulette, you got to put your fingers in the holes."

"I'm not breaking my nails!" Nancy countered waving her manicured hand at him before winking. Turning back to bowl she knelt down to the ground and carefully sent her ball down the actual alley and had a strike while 'Louis' and 'Johnny' discussed whether Johnny had a thing going with Paulette. He didn't, he was helping her with her illness, the fact she had a butt to die for and was wearing skintight gold lame pants.

"What's the final score?" Nik asked as Nancy returned to the girls after her strike.

"Final score comes later tonight," Chris answered. "Last game, winner takes all," he continued as he pulled Nancy close.

"Would you just shoot the ball?" Sara spoke up rolling her eyes.

"Shoot the ball," the other two women agreed.

"Shoot the BALL!" the guys countered and Chris stepped back from Paulette and shook his arms out as music started to play.

Then he started to sing.

Come on everybody, gather round
I'm gonna show you how to knock 'em down
When I'm on the ball, I'm the # 1...
And I'm gonna show you...how it's done.

Everyone else joined in as people started dancing around the bowling alley, with bowling balls as dance accessories even.

Let's bowl, let's bowl, let's Rock-'n-Roll
Hey come on let's get this show on the road.
Let's bowl, let's bowl, let's Rock-'n-Roll

"We're sittin' on a bomb that's about to explode," the four Pink Ladies sung alone.

"We're gonna score tonight, we're gonna score tonight," everyone sang before the guys broke off to sing on their own "If you're lookin' for a fight..."

"then the time is right," The Pink Ladies countered. "We're gonna wipe the floor..."

"with you tonight," The T-Birds answered before the Pink Ladies danced around them as everyone joined in.

We're gonna score tonight, we're gonna score tonight.
We're gonna rock, we're gonna roll,
We're gonna bop, we're gonna bowl,
We're gonna score, score, score, score, score tonight!

Suddenly Chris broke out from the crowd and slid across the 'alley' on his knees before turning and scooting back towards the group as he sang.

Hey Paulette take a look over here,
I'm your kingpin honey and I'm gettin' in gear!

Nancy smiled at him as he leaned backwards while finishing his song and she started to dance out to meet him as he rose. "Hey Johnny, Johnny, go for that strike, And I just might be your baby tonight!" she finished before spinning in front of him and moving away as everyone got involved once more.

"Let's bowl, let's bowl, let's rock-'n-roll."

"Hey, come on, let's get the show on the road," the Pink ladies solo'd

"Let's bowl, let's bowl, let's rock-'n-roll," everyone sang once more before the girls were on their own again.

"Cause the stakes are high, and the winner takes all!"

"We're gonna score tonight, we're gonna score tonight," everyone sang.

"Don't get sore when you lose tonight," the girls sung as they poked the guys in the chest.

"We're gonna show you how to do it right," the guys countered before everyone sang.

We're gonna score tonight, we're gonna score tonight.
We're gonna rock, we're gonna roll,
We're gonna bop, we're gonna bowl.
We're gonna score score score score score...TONIGHT

Music and dancing with bowling balls followed, before Chris started talking, singing, once more as he danced with Nancy. "You bowl me over," he announced.

"You bowl me over," she countered with a grin.

"You bowl me over," he repeated with a smirk

"You bowl him over," the other T-Birds sang.

"You bowl me over," little Brianna sung as she appeared.

"Not tonight," Nancy answered. "Take a hike," she added.

"Get a strike," the guys spoke as they placed a ball in Chris' hands and he threw it as everyone counted down "Five...four...three...two...one," and the sound of a strike filled the room as everyone broke into song once more

We're gonna score tonight, we're gonna score tonight.
We're gonna rock, we're gonna roll,
We're gonna bop, we're gonna bowl

We're gonna score tonight, we're gonna score tonight.
We're gonna rock, we're gonna roll,
We're gonna bop, we're gonna bowl.

While they were singing, the camera moved to the doorway, the 'outside' of the bowling alley, where Thomas was walking towards it, talking to himself after reading a guide to bowling that said to always be polite when requesting a game. "Hi, want a game? Howdy fellow...Hey boys, let's bowl some balls...Bowling anyone?" he continued as the camera moved back to the 'alley' were everyone was turning in their shoes, the evening, and singing, over.

"Another well deserved victory, huh Johnny?" 'Davey' asked.

"Of course. Where's the trophy? Chris asked.

"Right here Johnny," Nancy answered as she walked over to him before pulling him into a kiss.

"Nice," he began after they broke apart. "That's for best average, what about for best score?" he asked as he grabbed Sara's arm.

"God!" she spoke as she pulled away from him

"Touchy," Chris muttered

"What about the trophy for best score Stephenie?"

"I ain't no one's trophy Goose." Sara answered.

"Oooo, she ain't no one's trophy. So that's the way it's gonna be, huh, Miss Independent?"

"Yeah, independent! I kiss who I want when I want," she answered. "I can kiss the next guy who walks through that door if I want ta," she continued and the camera moved to show an older gentlemen in the doorway, everyone laughed as the camera moved back to the group.

"Oh yeah? Be my guest," Chris challenged.

Sara smiled before walking towards the 'door', which Thomas had just come through, and promptly pulled him to her and kissed him. Stepping back she held up her hands as the T-Birds just stared at her, Chris' mouth nearly touching the floor. Grabbing her bag she looked at the other girls. "Let's eat." She announced before leaving.

"Anyone else kinda freaked about watching Sara's brother trying to get a date with her?" Greg asked as they saw everyone in English class and Thomas getting asked to play piano at the school talent show by twin cheerleaders in the senior class, who the Pink Ladies seemed to hate.

"Let's not even go there Greggo," Sara answered as the scene changed and they saw what must have been the 'auditorium'. Thomas was seated at a piano as the twins came over.

"Okay Michael, we're ready," they spoke before going to the middle of the stage where a guy was standing. And Thomas began to play as they began to dance and sing.

His loafers were weejuns
his chinos were black
with a cute little buckle
that fastened in back

From the very first glance,
I dreamed of romance,
with Brad (romance with Brad)

Oh how he impressed me
this vision in madras
don't know what possessed me
but I gave him my address

And my heart shook with fear
as I prayed that I'd hear
from Brad (hear from Brad)

The scene moved back to Thomas as the Pink Ladies and their companions arrived to show the Principal their song for the talent show, as the twins continued to sing in the background. The twins, who were Miss Mason's girls...

Then at yesterday's tea dance
my day turned to night
Muffy Rogers was wearing Brad's pin
I could just die!

"Thank you but we haven't got all day," Principal McGee spoke up giving Thomas the chance to stop playing.

"Ah but these are my girls," Miss Mason, a.k.a. Sara's Aunt, argued.

"I know dear," the principal replied to her before continuing to the stage. "Next!"

"Okay we're all set," Jessica called to her before turning to the gathered women and in turn Thomas. "Listen, I want everyone to sing the ah ah ahs."

"Eh eh eh," 'Rhonda' answered as Thomas began to play and the gathered girls started to sing.

Ahh Ahh Ahh

I'll be your girl for all seasons, all the year through

"Hi," Thomas spoke as the others sang.

"Hey," Sara answered glancing at him.

"I was wondering if you were free today?"

"Yeah. I'm free everyday... it's in the Constitution," Sara smiled before starting to sing once more.

Your girl for all seasons,
'Cause I love, yes I love to be everything to you, just you.

"If you fall in the fall, you'll see, September can be heavenly," Rhonda and two other girls began to sing as they danced around the stage. 'Rhonda' was wearing a box that said "Tree" and waving sticks, another girl was a witch, and the third girl was costume-less

"Eugene, ready with the leaves when I yell." Jessica called up towards the ceiling.

If you fall, say you'll fall for me,

"Okay," came the voice of the guy who had showed Thomas around on his 'first day' as the three girls continued to sing.

When autumn leaves are fallin' from the trees.

"Sharon I'm sick of being a tree," 'Rhonda' spoke as she stomped towards where the piano was, her box stuck around over her head.

"That's enough for today thank you…" Mrs. McGee announced and Thomas stopped playing. Jessica tried to argue only to be stopped by the teachers and she threw her papers in the air, and stormed off. 'Louis' immediately started after her as the girls starting to gather the things they had brought with them.

"Sara's really is wearing leather pants," Greg spoke still in shock as they watched her gather things.

"And you weren't expecting this, why?" Jessica asked.

"How about a hamburger later?" Thomas asked and Sara looked at him on screen.

"I'm busy," she replied before turning back to gathering things.

"How about tomorrow?"

"I'm busy," she repeated before standing to move across the stage and he rose and followed after her.

"So, maybe you can explain about the bowling alley eh? I mean you just don't' kiss a guy..."

"It was a joke okay?"

"Maybe I can give you a hand," he offered as she handed off papers to Nancy who was carrying a box with Anne and watching them, and she turned back to pick up her school books.

"No, I can get it," she answered as he proceeded to help her anyway.

"I think someone's got a crush," Anne spoke.

"I think he's cute," Nancy continued.

"I think you two should shut your yaps," Sara snapped as she turned and moved to the doorway and set her books down.

"You forgot this one," Thomas called after her. Glancing at her book she shook her head and walked over to him as the two other women left. "How about the day after tomorrow?" he continued from where he was knelt on the ground.

"When are you going to get the picture?" she asked exasperated as music started to play.

If you really want to know, What I want in a guy...
Well, I'm lookin' for a dream on a mean machine
With hell in his eyes." she began before looking away from him as she looked up, lost in thought.

I want a devil in skintight leather, He's gonna be wild as the wind.
And one fine night, I'll be holdin' on tight...
To a coooool rider, a coooool rider.

If he's cool enough, He can burn me through and through.
Whhoa ohhhh

If it takes forever, Then I'll wait forever.
No ordinary boy, no ordinary boy is gonna do.
I want a rider that's cool.

She finished and looked back at him as he slowly rose to his feet and regarded her. Looking away she turned and ran through the doorway, the camera glanced at Thomas who was still watching her before following her to the back of the stage. Stopping she leaned up against the wall as she continued to sing to herself, almost reinforcing her ideas.

"That's the way it's gonna be, And that's the way that I feel," she sang as she grabbed a cardboard hoop that represented a swimming tube and danced with it as she continued to sang.

I want a whole lot more...than the boy next door,
I want hell on wheels.

She continued as she set the tube aside and looked up at a ladder in the center of the room. Smirking she started to climb the ladder as she sang. "Just give me a black motorcycle, With a man rollin' out of the seat. Then move aside, cause I'm gonna ride," she straddled the ladder and danced to the music, almost as if she was actually ridding a motorcycle.

To a coooool rider, a coooool rider.
If he's cool enough, He can burn me through and through.
Whhoa ohhhh

Swinging her leg over the top of the ladder she started down the other side.

If it takes forever, Then I'll wait forever.
No ordinary boy, no ordinary boy is gonna do.
I want a rider that's cool.

Moving away from the ladder she grabbed her Pink Lady jacket and flipped it around so the black side was out and slipped it on, flipping the collar up before moving further into the room where the floor was empty of objects. Once there she started to dance to the beat as she sang.

I don't want no ordinary guys, Comin' on strong to me.
They don't know what I'm lookin' for, They don't know what I need.
They're gonna know when he gets here, Cause the ground will be shakin'.

I'll do anything to let him know, That I'm his, his for the takin'.
I want a coooooool rider, A cool, cool, cool, cool rider.
I want a coooooool rider, A cool, cool, cool, cool rider.
I want a C-O-O-L R-I-D-E-R. I need a C-O-O-L R-I-D-E-R.

As she disappeared out of the room and continued her mantra as she danced across the lawn, the camera moved to focus on Thomas who was still watching her.

Then 'Louis' appeared beside him and asked if he'd be willing to trade 'paper for paper' Reports for cash. Thomas looked at him before agreeing. He'd need a motorcycle to get Stephenie, and with cash he could get one.

"Do you still have those things?" Greg asked after a moment. "Because if you were to wear those to the next LVPD sponsored Carnival and do the Kissing Booth, you'd raise hundreds for charity."

"I hate to disappoint, but I burned those things," Sara answered with a smirk.

"Damn," all the men in the room, other than Chris and Jack muttered.

"Damn?" Sara asked looking at her husband.

"Well, those are some very nicely designed specimens of the textile industry," he answered with a smile and she just shook her head.

"Okay, back to the show, let's get this over with. Besides, this is the funniest part," Sara laughed and everyone turned their attention back to the show as the scene moved to a classroom where Mr. Stuart, a.k.a. Archie Sidle was trying to teach his class about Reproduction.

Miss Mason walked in and he started to try once more before glancing at her and deciding to impress her he changed tactics.

He began to speak more than sing as music started to play. "The parts of a flower are so constructed that very, very often the wind will cause pollination. If not, then a bee or any other nectar gathering creature can create the same situation. Yes, anything that gets the pollen to the pistils, write it on the list. I'll try to make it crystal clear, the flower's insatiable passion turns its life into a circus of debauchery!"

This time he began to sing more than speak. "Now you see just how the stamen gets its lusty dust onto the stigma. And why this frenzied chlorophyllous orgy starts in spring is no enigma...We call this quest for satisfaction a what, class?" he asked

The twins sat up and answered. "A photo-periodic reaction!"

"Oh that's good, that's very good," he smiled.

"Hey, I'm lost, where are we?" a boy called

"Chapter 2," a girl answered

"Page 5," another guy continued before the class started singing.

Reproduction, reproduction!
Put your pollen tube to work.
Reproduction.

"Reproduction!" the girls continued before a single girl stood up. "Make my stamen go berserk."

"Reproduction!" the guys answered as another girl stood and walked to the center of the aisle formed by desks.

"I don't think they even know what a pistil is!"
"I got your pistil right here..." a guy answered as he ran up to her.

"Where does the pollen go?" Goose called before Mr. Stuart started again.

Next chapter, In an abstract way, the same thing applies
To the reproductive organs of the more complex life forms.
But now we are dealing with sexual response.
Are there any questions before we begin reading?

One of the boys in class sat next to Miss Mason and began to talk. "Is it possible the female member of some sex on a couch. Could like get this guy all hot and she never even knew it?"

"Negative," Archie answered as another male student walked over to a girl.

"When a warm-blooded mammal in a tight little sweater. Starts pullin' that stuff, is she sayin' that she wants to do it?"

"Can't prove it by me, cause they change their tune when you got 'em in the back seat," another guy spoke as he slid across a row of desks to look at his girlfriend and the girls around her looked at her in shock

"With his heart beatin' fast," another guy spoke as he stood next to the twins.

"They make it sound like a track meet, *gross!*" they announced as the T-Birds finally got involved, pretending to be girls when they were saying 'No'.

"Yeah, then all they can do is say "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"

The chorus started once more, the guys being the 'annoying girls who would say no' and the girls being the 'guys who just wanted one thing' as they sang.

Reproduction, reproduction! Baby, give it to me now.
Reproduction, reproduction! Is that all you think about?
Reproduction!

"Come on baby, show me that you really love me so!" the girls continued in classic idiot male teenager form.

"Ohhh, I think I'm gonna throw up!" one of the guys in class countered

"Where does the pollen go?" Goose finished as Archie got involved once more.

"The human is the only being capable of consciously controlling its number of offspring. Any comments on this?"

"Mr. Stuart," Paulette began as she cornered him, talking to him as she began. "Is it true that guys like you, you know, mature and all, Carry some protection with them" she continued before singing, "for sexual occasions?"

"Good God!" he exclaimed before turning and running from her.

"What's the big deal?" Chris asked. "Can't a girl just do that thing in a book where she adds up the days of her, uh, what do you call it, mentalstration?"

"Oh, that's really neat!" a girl answered. "Yeah, and what will the guy say when the numbers don't add up right, huh?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" the class began to sing once more. "Reproduction,"

"Reproduction!" the girls continued before one broke out in solo. "Hope he's proud of what he's done."

"Reproduction, reproduction!" everyone sung before a single guy got his turn.

"He was only pokin' fun."

"Reproduction!" everyone sang before the camera focused on Louis who was holding up a rabbit.

"See what happens when a boy and girl don't know how to play it safe!" he announced

Reproduction, reproduction! Reproduction, reproduction!
Reproduction, reproduction! Reproduction!" everyone sang

"Where does the pollen go?" Goose finished before dropping into his seat from where he was hanging onto a bar overhead.

"Learn anything Steph?" Nik asked as they headed out of class, and the girls all pushed past him and the other T-Birds.

"Hey what's the rush? Ya gotta take a pill?" Chris asked before the other guys laughed.

Why couldn't my school have had a class like that?" Greg whined.

"Because you would have turned out even more unique than you already are, and no one could have handled you like that," Sara countered.

"I don't think any of us could have survived a class like that...can you imagine the lawsuits?" Jessica pointed out as they watched Thomas get his cycle and start to work on it. He was falling off the bike and everything in the front yard. Meanwhile the T-Birds tried out for the talent show, and made idiots of themselves. Then they saw their main competition, the "Preptones", and realized they had to get as good as them "but with class". Goose wanted those Roy Orbisons that were the prize. Thomas finished fixing up the cycle, and they moved back to the bowling alley, which was visible through a set of glass doors. Brianna arrived and outside Balmudo sat on his cycle. She ran into the alley and told the T-Birds he was out there, finding 'Johnny, Louis, and Goose' first. The guys went out, with everyone following them to the doors. Outside Balmudo's gang had arrived, and Chris asked for a comb, again, and he fixed his hair until Balmudo 'hissed' at him, then he threw the comb in the air and the three retreated into the building once more. Then Nik came through the doors, Brianna having obviously found him, and he asked "where is that rat face..." only to trail off as Balmudo grabbed him by the collar.

"You looking for a rat face..." Balmudo began before he was separated from 'Davey' when a mysterious biker appeared and drove between them, kicking him in the chest and sending him flying back against his gang. Nik retreated into the building, where everyone was pressed against the glass watching as Balmudo ordered his gang after 'that guy'.

"ooh whoooo who's that guy? ooh whoooo who's that guy?" everyone began to sing softly, whispering almost.

"He came out of the darkness in the middle of the night, Blazing like a mother with a fist of dynamite," Nik began in a normal voice

"He ain't foolin' no one on that pile of chrome and steel, Burnin' up the pavement like he was some kind of wheel," the other T-Birds continued looking at each other and rolling their eyes.

"He's lookin' for a rumble and some heads are gonna bust, He's gonna take a tumble with one solitary thrust!" the bike gang sung

"The only thing you guys are gonna do is eat his dust!" The Pink Ladies answered before everyone pushed the doors open and went outside to claim spots to watch the show

Who's that guy? Where did he come from?
Who's that guy?

"Please tell me someone," the T-Birds asked.

"I never knew anyone could be so cool!" the Pink Ladies countered.

"Whoa oh oh Who's that guy?" everyone sang.

"What's so amazin'!" The T-Birds asked.

"From headlight to tailpipe, his burners are blazin'," Balmudo's gang continued.

"Looks to me like he could really fly! Won't somebody tell me... Who's that guy?" every girl sang.

oooh whoooo who's that guy?
oooh whoooo who's that guy?

Everyone sang as a whisper once more as the bikers raced in a circle around the yard.

"He wears a pair of goggles, like a man from outer space," Nikolas spoke

"Ah, shut up," Chris grumbled

"It really doesn't matter that I haven't seen his face," Sara told the other Pink Ladies.

"We're gonna wrap those handlebars around that neck of his," Balmudo's gang promised before Balmuda continued. "The punk is gonna get it!"

"When we find out who he is!" everyone spoke.

"Everybody wants you when they don't know who you are," Thomas smiled.

"If you're a man of mystery, it really takes you far," the Pink Ladies continued.

"Everyone around you thinks that you're a STAR!" Thomas sung.

"Who's that guy?" everyone asked

"Where did he come from?" Paulette burst out in song.

"Who's that guy?"

"Where can I get one?" Sara asked Paulette.

"They never knew that I could be so cool!" Thomas laughed.

"Whoa oh oh! Who's that guy?"

"On that motorcycle," The Pink Ladies clarified.

"What would they say if they knew it was Michael?" Thomas asked himself

"Looks to me like he could really fly!

Won't somebody tell me...Who's that guy?" everyone sung as they heard sirens in the distance and the biker gang took off.

"ohhh whooo who's that guy?
oooh whoooo who's that guy?
Won't somebody tell me" everyone sang before whispering. "Who's that guy?"

"Everyone inside," Johnny announced once the 'Cool Rider' was gone. "We bowl!"

Everyone moved inside except for Sara who was pacing, and the other girls stayed behind. She found out there'd been talk about her loyalty to the group and she brushed it off, still jittery. Jessica left, and Anne, leaving Nancy who offered her a cigarette. She took it but her lighter wasn't working then she found a lighter in front of her, and it was the 'Cool Rider'.

"Want a ride?" he asked before the cops arrived. "Some other time." he shrugged as he shut his lighter before starting his bike and proceeding to jump the cop car.

"That was actually our neighbor's car. The group took paper and painted it, then taped it to the car so it wasn't blue anymore." Laura laughed.

"Interesting. Did you guys turn the entire town upside down for this?"

"Just our side of town," Jessica laughed as they watched Thomas and "Frenchie" talking, and it came out that Michael was the 'Cool Rider'. Then it moved on to a scene with Louis and Sharon. Earlier when Louis had been buying papers from Michael, Michael showed him his family fall out shelter. And that planted an idea in his mind.

"Finally! Jessica's big scene," Sara grinned as 'Louis' led 'Sharon' into the fallout shelter and shut the door. From the vantage point of the camera they could see 'Davey' and 'Goose' creep up to the closed door.

"This is an official fall-out shelter bed," Peter began. "We got to be prepared, cause someday when you least expect it...Ka BLAM! Nuclioud war!" he continued and hearing the signal the two 'outside' started turning a tone-downed bombing alarm.

"What's that?" Jessica asked

"It's started," Peter answered before staring to sing. "America is calling, let's care enough to give our very best."

"What's started? What's happening Louis?" Jessica asked confused.

"The Russians are attacking, get down!" Peter ordered as he pushed her down on a bed, lying on top of her. "For if we give our very best, I know that we will more than pass the test." he sung before speaking. "Think about it, what if we were to die tonight without ever doing it."

"It? Louis let me out of here," Jessica ordered as she pushed him off her and stood up.

"What are you thinking? There's bombs dropping out there," Peter hissed pulling her back to sit down as he sung. "Yeah, let's do it for our country, the red, white, and the blue. It's Uncle Sam who's asking, so your mother will approve," he sang before kneeling in front of her and stripping his button-down shirt off so he was in a white tank top.

"Tomorrow I'll be fighting, and I'll win this war for you," he continued as he put a helmet on his head. "Let's do it for our country, our country wants us to," he continued and Jessica looked at him before nodding, thinking he was talking about going to war as he rose and untied her little cape...jacket…thing as he kept singing.

"Bullets are exploding, they'll soon be at the door,
Give something to America you never gave before.
Yeah let's do it for our country, the red, white and the blue,"

"But are you sure my mother would approve?" Jessica asked as she looked at him.

"You're mother don't even have to know about it Sharon," Peter answered

"Are you sure we're old enough to go?" she asked still unsure.

"All the way," he answered as he led her towards one of the 'fall-out beds'. "If the President were standin' here, I'm sure he would approve," he continued before starting to sing as Jessica had him sit and she picked up a roll of gauze. "I'll be a mighty solider, before this night is though. Let's do it for our country, our country wants us to," he sung as she wrapped the gauze around his head.

"Just think about it…it would be like as if we were doing it for the Statute of Liberty," Peter spoke as she sat next to him.

"Or the Grand Canyon," Jessica continued

"Or the New York Yankees," he suggested before thinking. "It would be like...as if we were doing it for..."

"Disneyland!" they both chorused.

"Yeah, let's do it for our country, the red, white, and the blue,

It's not a lot to ask of us, our parents will approve," they sang before he smiled at her. "Tomorrow I'll be fighting, and I'll win this war for you."

"You'll be a mighty solider," Jessica countered

"Before this night is through," he continued with a smirk before they both sang as he lowered her to the bed under him.

Let's do it for our country,

"We owe it to our country," Louis spoke

Let's do it for our country, our country wants us to.

"I'm ready Louis," Jessica spoke sure of herself.

"Me too," he whispered

"Come on, let's go," she continued before pushing him off and heading towards the door.

"No! Sharon don't!" Peter called, too late as she opened the door and the two fell through. "Louis DiMucchi! Aaaarh!" she cried before storming off.

"Oooo Jessica is as pink as bubble gum," Greg teased.

"Shut up." Jessica muttered through her hands that she had her face buried in.

"No picking on her," Nick ordered as he slipped an arm around her shoulders. "I thought you were adorable," he whispered in her ear.

"This is so embarrassing," mumbled Jessica

"I think it's embarrassing for all of us," Sara smiled softly. "But hey, we can get revenge on those guys later..." she teased softly. "I know we can convince Charlotte to hand over footage..."

"Don't worry Baby," Nick reassured Jessica with a squeeze. "Don't you dare," threatened Nick.

"Hey! You've seen one of Jessica and my most embarrassing moments, it's only fair everyone else get involved in the insanity someday!" Sara countered.

"Well, then you better be talking to Grissom's mother as well," argued Nick. "I'm not going to be the only victim in this."

"What makes you think Grissom has embarrassing moments in his childhood? He didn't get tongue-tied or anything until he met Sara..." Catherine pointed out.

"Everyone has at least one embarrassing skeleton in the closet," commented Nick.

Everyone from Vegas CSI looked at Grissom then back at Nick. "Sure Nick. This is the man who was proud to win the science fair with an ant farm. What we consider embarrassing was his life."

"Hey!" Gil spoke up after Catherine's comment.

"Nothing meant by it of course," Catherine added with a smile.

Gil merely rolled his eyes in response.

"Can we please just get this humiliating video over with please?" pleaded Jessica

"I quite agree," Sara added as attention turned back to the screen.

"In case you're wondering what you missed, the 'Cool Rider' showed up at her work. They went for a ride, had a magical time together. He took her back and before he was going to reveal himself the others arrived. He told Stephenie he'd see her at the talent show. Imagine Stephenie's confusion huh?" Laura grinned. "So there's a big argument. Johnny makes a fool of himself, and the girls all told him off before going inside. And now Johnny is telling the guys how it is, a.k.a. the song they have for the talent show."

On screen the T-Birds were telling the world what kind of girls they liked. 'DiMucci' was first. "Well I like a debutante, who comes across, now that's what I call class."

"Well I like a tall girl, with long legs that go right up to her..." Nik continued.

"You know what I like, I like a girl that's really smart. Provided that she's really stacked," 'Goose' joined in.

"Yeah? Well, I love 'em all, and they love me. Cause I'm the leader of this here pack!" Chris sang before he took the lead as the three took the harmony

We're goin' prowlin' (walk, talk like a T-Bird)
Prowlin' (walk, talk like a T-Bird)
ProWowOwlin' tonight! We're goin; Prowlin', Prowlin'..
Tonigggghhhhttttttt

After the amazing vocal talents of the T-Birds, though their lyrics left much to be desired, 'Stephenie' got to know 'Michael' through school and obviously began to care for him, but her heart was still for her 'Cool Rider'. Johnny finally declared that they were official over as a couple, much to Stephenie's happiness, and the night of the talent show finally arrived. But then the T-Birds arrived just as the 'Cool Rider' did, and they took off after him. The girls were left to chase after them on foot, watching as the 'Cool Rider' suddenly jumped a droop in the road and disappeared. Johnny came back and everyone was left thinking he had died but she was dragged into the talent show anyway. Everyone watched as the twins did their song about Brad, and other acts performed. The T-Birds did their song, after having tied up their competition and stealing their ties and jackets.

Then it was time for the Calendar Girls, and the curtain drew back to reveal an intricately done set, with four sections with the season names, and a set of doors at the back of the room with 1961 written across them, and on either side of the doors were 'Louis' and 'Davey'.

Before the show actually started, 'Johnny' had yelled at 'Paulette' about her costume, and 'Stephenie' was rather out of it. But as they say, the show must go on, and so the music began. The doors opened, and Jessica stepped out accompanied by two other girls. Jessica dressed up like a four-leaf clover with a sash that read: March.

"I'll be yours in springtime when the flowers are in bloom.
We'll wander through the meadows, in all their sweet perfume.
And every night I'll hold you tight beneath that April moon.

Ahh Ahh Ahh
I'll be your girl for all seasons, all the year through.
Your girl for all seasons," the three women sang before retreating back to the 'spring' section as they finished the chorus. "'Cause I love, yes I love to be everything to you, just you."

The doors opened once more, revealing Nancy and her companions, Nancy was wearing a white corset and holding a bouquet in her hands, on her head was a hat that was formed by two rings interlocking.

I'll be yours in summer, when we're playin' in the sand.
We'll spend the day together, makin' love and gettin' tanned.
And on the beach at sunset, when we're walking hand in hand.

The three started the chorus, and like Spring they retreated to their spot on the sidelines, as Chris watched from the sidelines with a smile.

Ahh Ahh Ahh
I'll be your girl for all seasons, all the year through.
Your girl for all seasons,
'Cause I love, yes I love to be everything to you, just you.

Next to come was Anne, 'Rhonda'. And she was still dressed like a tree, a purple one. September...

If you fall in the fall, you'll see, September can be heavenly.
If you fall, say you'll fall for me,
When autumn leaves are fallin' from the trees.

She and her group retreated to the side as the doors opened one last time. The boys had been changing costumes of their own each time to reflect the season, this time wearing gloves, scarves, and Santa hats.

Out of the doors stepped Sara and her two companions; Sara was dressed as a Christmas tree, complete with a Christmas Tree Star on her head that was lit up.

I'll be yours in winter, when the snow is on the ground

Sara began to sing before stopping, but continuing to move down the steps at a slower pace as the other girls sang.

I'll warm you through December, and I'll always be around.
We'll kiss below the mistletoe, when Santa comes to town

"What's wrong with Stephenie?" Jessica asked

"Looks like she forgot the words," one of the girls answered.

"Somebody get out there and help her," Jessica hissed as the two other 'Winter' girls went into the chorus.

Girl for all seasons, I'll be your girl for all seasons.
Summer in sunshine, winter in snowflakes.
Springtime in showers, falling in love.
Summer, winter, spring, and fall
Yes, I'll be everything to you.

"Louis! Pull the curtain!" Jessica ordered as everyone broke out into the chorus once more as they gathered around Sara as she reached up and removed the star from her head. Suddenly the music changed and everyone stopped singing as Sara began to sing.

No more midnight rides with you,
No more secret Rendezvous
I'm gonna miss all the things we'll never do.
I just can't believe, you left me here alone!
How in this world, can I make it on my own?

Behind her, everyone stepped away, as if she was leaving them behind, and the scene shifted to show just Sara and then Thomas, the 'Cool Rider' as he appeared, dressed in silver lame, in biker heaven.

Remember, I love you
I won't be far away.
Baby close your eyes and think of yesterday.
And we'll be there, together…
Love will turn back the hands of time!

Sara joined him as she ran towards him.

"Woah oh, turn back, whoa oh turn back… the hands of time
Baby, don't you know, it's hard to let you go?" Sara sang.

"Save all your dreams and keep me in your heart!" Michael sang back

"It hurts to say goodbye, no matter how I try!" Sara cried

"Love will survive, even through' we have to part!" he promised before speaking gently. "Stephenie, please don't cry."

"It all seems so unfair, just when I found you I lost you!"

"That doesn't matter now. The only thing you have know is that I love you, and you're the only one who can keep our love alive! So Stephenie, don't forget me!"

"I promise," Sara spoke before Michael started to sing once more.

"Remember I love you I won't be far away."

"I'll just close my eyes and bring back yesterday," she continued before he joined her in song.

"And we'll be there, together, Love will turn back the hands of time, whoa oh, turn back, whoa oh turn back, the hands of time." Slowly he pulled away and disappeared as the group came back to gather around her. And she stood and sung for all she was worth as she looked out at the horizon.

"We'll turn back, whoa oh, turn back whoa oh turn back the hands of time we'll turn back…" as she trailed off, she sunk to the ground and curled in on herself, silence reigning supreme for a moment.

"Hit a few high notes why don't you Sara," Greg whispered before shaking his head.

"Anyone have tissues?" Catherine sniffed. "That was just so heart wrenching," she continued before sobbing as tissues were passed along the group to reach her. "Alright, what did I miss?" she asked after she got her tears under control.

Sara smiled at her. "Johnny and Stephenie were named king and queen of the luau, they won the talent competition. But she won the Roy Orbisons, poor Goose right? So anyway, at the luau, everyone's happy except Stephenie, she nearly kills the twins when they say 'you know? Its girls like that who give summer fun a bad name'. Anyway, so the luau was done in the backyard with the pool, everyone is dancing around the pool and Johnny and Steph were led out and placed on the pool on a raft, all dressed up for the luau, new clothes and everything. And that's where we're at. Based on the music and all," she added to explain how she knew. And sure enough, on screen Chris and Sara were sitting on a raft in the middle of a pool fighting.

"I'm trying to be cool here!" Chris announced.

"Get me out of here right now…" Sara shot back as she started to move around intent on getting off the raft and away from him.

"Will you be quiet…sit down Stephenie we're going to fall in...Will you help me row Stephenie," he continued as Balmudo's gang arrived and started making a mess of everything.

"Stop yelling at me! Get off of me!" Sara yelled

"I'm trying! Will you help me ROW!" he yelled right back just as the 'Cool Rider' showed up and Balmudo's gang began to chase him down the road. Then an actual oar fight broke out on the boat as the two used them like swords. By the time Thomas had led off the majority of the gang, and knocked Balmudo off his bike, he lost control of his bike and skidded to a halt, the two had finally gotten the boat next to the edge of the pool.

Then Thomas removed his goggles and everyone started crying "Michael! It's Michael!" Everyone gathered around Michael. The T-Birds pushing their way through, voicing their disbelief.

"You?" Nik asked.

"You made that jump?" Peter continued.

"Shakespeare?" Goose muttered in shock as Sara pushed her way through, now dressed in a silver dress that was practically a second skin, her hair up with flowers along the twist.

"I thought you were dead…" she began "you…" she continued shaking her head.

"Move it, I'm gonna rearrange his face!" Chris' voice broke through the spell as he pushed his way through

"Hey!" Nancy exclaimed

"What!" Johnny yelled before looking at her.

"Nothing," she whispered and he turned back to Thomas and Sara.

"No..." he began

"Yeah Johnny yeah," Peter argued

"Yeah well, you got one more jump Mr. Cool Rider, Shakespeare Carrington." Chris spoke before lunging towards Thomas only to be grabbed by the other T-Birds.

"Wait a minute haven't we had enough of this?" Sara asked

"She's got a point Johnny"

"You know Davey's got a point."

"Louis got a point about Davey's point about…" Goose continued as Chris spun trying to get them to shut up before throwing his hands in the air.

"Will you shut up, all of you! I got a point to make too!" he yelled. "Jacket!" he demanded with a snap

"One t-bird jacket!" Davey spoke as he tossed a jacket only to have it hit Nancy.

Chris turned to look at her and his expression softened, and he spoke softer. "Jacket."

Nancy smiled. "Jacket," she answered handing it to him.

"For starters, let's see how it looks," he spoke as he handed the jacket to Thomas who smiled before slipping it on.

Sara smiled as she reached up to adjust Thomas' collar, flipping it up the right way.

"What's everybody looking at? Disperse!" Chris spoke and everyone backed away as Thomas leaned down to kiss Sara.

"Holy moley!" Nick whistled as the couple continued to kiss on scene.

"We take it the two of you were quite the item back then," Warrick teased as he waved a hand at imaginary smoke. "Just steaming up that lens aren't you?"

"Oh shut up," Sara rolled her eyes as she and Thomas broke apart on screen.

"I never thought you'd kiss me like that if you knew who I really was…" Thomas whispered and Sara laughed.

"Are you crazy? I got two for the price of one!"

"Are you certain?"

"I've never been certainer"

"More Certain?"

"Certainest."

"Certainest, yeah I like that. I'd like to kiss you again," Thomas spoke before he leaned down to kiss her once more.

"Alright, someone cover my daughter's eyes. Both of them." Catherine spoke up.

"Their eyes, someone should cover Grissom's," Greg countered as Nick and Warrick both gave wolf whistles.

"And my mother couldn't understand why people were so shocked when Thomas and I broke up," Sara sighed as she linked fingers with her husband. "And shut up, this is my favorite song." She ordered as her screen self stepped back from Thomas lightly to look up at him as music started.

"You were the one, the one in my dreams, but I never knew it."
"I wanted to tell you time and again, but I couldn't do it."
"All that you are is all that I need, no more pretending."
"Now I can be me, and you can be you," Thomas countered before she joined him.

"And we're never-ending, whoa oh oh…" they sung as they started to dance to the music, and the camera pulled back slightly to show the others dancing with their significant others.

"We'll be together, always together.
Like birds of a feather, forever and ever,
We'll be together."

"I like what you got, I guess it's okay if you wanna show it," Chris told Nancy as they swayed.

"I am what I am, and I'm all for you, just want you to know it," she answered before they kissed and the camera moved to Jessica and Peter.

"Will I ever score?"

"There's nothin' wrong with just likin' each other," she answered as the camera moved back once more to show everyone dancing as they all started to sing.

"We all had our doubts, but it's workin' out,
With one another, whoa oh oh…"

"We'll be together, always together.
Like birds of a feather, forever and ever,
We'll be together."

"We'll be together, always together.
Like birds of a feather, forever and ever,
We'll be together."

"We'll be together, always together.
Like birds of a feather, forever and ever,
We'll be together."

"We'll be together, always together.
Like birds of a feather, forever and ever,
We'll be together."

Thomas picked Sara up and twirled her around the chorus was sung, setting her down they danced very close to the dancing in Dirty Dancing as Catherine raised a hand over her daughter's eyes, although there was nothing visible below the waist. The repeats of the chorus finished and clapping began as the couples broke apart and bowed to the camera.

"Okay, that was just cool," Lindsey announced after a moment as they watched the younger version of Sara and Jessica be picked on by Chris and a few others, eventually Thomas picked Sara up and they hopped onto the boat that was still in the pool, paddling their way out to the center they waved as Chris rolled his eyes and yelled that he'd still get them, only to have Sara stick her tongue out at him. And finally the movie ended.

"Such better uses for that tongue, like singing, speaking, eating…among other things," Chris mused. "And you wasted them sticking your tongue out at me."

"Oh, stuff it Scor," Sara rolled her eyes.

"As you can see, we were insane when we were teenagers," Jessica spoke up with a sigh, but she was smiling.

"I blame Jack and Laura for how Chris and I turned out," Sara continued.

"Why them?" Nick asked with a smirk. "Rather classic people to blame, but curious as to your reasoning."

Sara laughed as she shook her head. "Because they insisted on the Sidle family performances for guests."

"Performances?" Catherine asked with a smile. "So that explains why you didn't throw that big of a fit about that night."

"Nope, it's ingrained in my head. Put a piano in front of me and my brain says 'Time to sing'," Sara explained with a shrug.

"It is, I remember seeing my first Sidle family sing-a-long…was insane, let me tell you. But hey, the customers enjoyed it." Jessica shrugged.

"Sidle family sing-a-long. Interesting…too bad none of us could have seen little Sara singing" Greg teased.

"So you think," Chris spoke up with an evil grin.

"I know that tone of voice…" Sara began as Chris rose and quickly made his way from the room before leaving the house entirely. "I heard a door, don't tell me he went outside. Oh God, he did…" she groaned as she let her head fall on Gil's shoulder. "He's got the keyboard doesn't he? He's going to bring it in and set it up and I'm going to get dragged into a sing-a-long, aren't I?"

"We just saw you dancing around in leather pants that might as well have been painted on, making out with your boyfriend of a decade ago, seen by your husband of less than a week, and you're worried about singing in front of us?" Mia asked with a laugh.

"That's different, I can't see that," Sara argued as the door opened once more to admit Chris bearing the familiar case of his keyboard. "You're back aren't you? And you have that keyboard, don't you?" she asked with a sigh.

"I am, I do, and you're singing." Chris answered with another evil grin as Jack and Laura rose to give him room to set up. "Alright people, spread out. This is going to take some room. And Sunshine, get in the mood."

Shaking her head Sara sighed once more before smiling. "Someone needs to rescue Abby."

"My pleasure," Warrick smiled as he took his daughter while Chris set up the keyboard and everyone rearranged seats to give them room, Laura and Jack figuring out a space needed. Finally they nodded at each other before Jack walked over and helped Sara to her feet, and Laura led Sahidi over to Gil, leaving the dog with her son-in-law with a wink. Chris took his place behind the piano and smiled at his parents and sister who was taking a seat next to him.

"So, what are you singing?" Jessica asked looking at them as Sara slid next to Chris on the ottoman and he started whispering in her ear.

"Shh," Sara whispered and she raised an eyebrow as Jack sunk to the ground in front of Laura who wore a similar expression to her surrogate daughter. Then Jack began and the group was pleasantly surprised to find out that Jack had a fairly nice baritone voice.

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time.

Chris began to play in accompaniment of his father as Jack continued.

And Time goes by
so slowly and time can do so much,
Are You Still Mine?

I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me!

Sara started playing next to her brother, confusing the others, except Jessica who realized what the four were playing; a classic at the bed and breakfast…As for the others though, they were in the dark as instead of playing the tune to Unchained Melody, Sara was playing Love Me Tender. Then Laura started to sing as she trailed a hand down her husband's cheek.

Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.

Jack rose and took her hands as he continued to sing, Chris playing once more.

Lonely rivers flow
to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.

Lonely rivers sigh,
Wait for me, wait for me!
I'll be coming home, wait for me!

Then Sara began to play again as Laura sang, with a alto voice only a few notches below her daughter, the high alto low soprano compared to her surrogate daughter, the high soprano.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
And I always will.

This time, it was Chris singng as he played and Jack spun Laura around once before they started to dance.

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time.

And Time goes by
so slowly and time can do so much,
Are You Still Mine?

Taking her cue Sara took over playing once more, singing along as their parents continued to dance.

Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.

For it's there that I belong,
And we'll never part.

Jack joined the younger Sidle male as they sang their half this time, still dancing with his wife as Chris played.

Lonely mountains gaze
at the stars, at the stars,
Waiting for the dawn of the day.

All alone, I gaze
at the stars, at the stars,
Dreaming of my love far away.

And in the perfect counter, Laura and Sara joined together to sing the next section, matching harmony perfectly, until Jack and Chris took the lead once more.

Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.

I'll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time.

And Time goes by
so slowly and time can do so much,
Are You Still Mine?

As the boys went into the final section of the song, Sara started to play along side him and the two joined, singing the final part of Love Me Tender, the girls easily rising above the boys as their notes climbed higher, yet the four ended together perfectly.

I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love TO ME!

When at last my dreams come true
Darling this I know
Happiness will follow you
Everywhere YOU GO!

"Wow," Jim said after a few moments of silence after the final ringing note Sara had carried for a few sections, Laura carrying a slightly lower note right along with her.

"Now that was cool. I've never heard those two songs together before," Catherine mused.

"An old favorite at the B and B," Sara explained with a shrug.

"Although, surprising Scor was ever able to master it considering all the brownies he'd eat before concerts," Jessica teased and Chris rolled his eyes.

"Bite me Duchess," he answered.

"Okay, I have to ask. What the heck are these brownies that everyone keeps talking about?" Nick asked confused.

"Yeah, I'm as confused as you. What's so special about Jack's brownies?" Greg continued and Sara, Jessica, Laura, and Chris started laughing.

"Oh hang on, I'll go get them," Jack announced as he headed towards the door.

"NO!" Sara and Jessica yelled suddenly and he stopped mid-step.

"Jack, you promised. No brownies," Sara reminded him as she rose.

"I promised no brownies at the ceremony," he countered and she slumped back onto the ottoman.

"I did say that, didn't I?" she asked with a sigh.

"Yes well, I didn't," Jessica countered as she gave the man she considered a second father a stern glare. "No sharing brownies. We don't need to be bailing you out of jail. And as long as there is no proof that those brownies are around, none of us have to call you in and report you."

"Why would brownies cause him to go to jail?" Lindsey began before recognition dawned on her face, and the faces of the others. "Ooooooh," she continued nodding.

"Yes, let's keep those brownies out of sight and out of mind there, Jack. I'll pretend I never heard a word and we'll all get along great," Jim winked and Jack shrugged.

"Sorry Sunshine," He spoke softly as he joined her by the piano and Sara merely shook her head.

"Don't be Jack, I brought it on myself remember?" she smiled at him.

"So the reason Chris is so nutso is he grew up on hippie brownies," Nick began to change the subject.

"Grew up? They were his main source of food," Jessica teased.

"Bite me Duchess," he repeated and she rolled her eyes as she stood and walked over to him.

"I may not be the vegetarian our sister is, but that doesn't mean I'm going to touch any meat of your quality," she smirked as Sara snickered.

"Oh, those are fighting words, Baby Girl," Chris grinned and just as quickly he was around the keyboard chasing her as she shrieked and ran from him.

Sara shook her head as they heard the two moving throughout the house, Gil's warning to watch out for his bugs trailing after them. Standing she let Jack take over the keyboard just as the Jessica came back into the room and ducked behind her.

"Hide me," Jessica laughed as Chris came in after her.

"Out of the way Sunshine, the Duchess is mine," Chris announced and Sara just crossed her arms over her chest.

"Oh come on Scor, you should have seen that coming considering she does have a piece of Grade "A" Texas Prime," Sara smirked towards him.

"And that compares how?" Chris asked rolling his eyes.

"You have to ask?" Sara's smirk deepened as Jessica shook her head and watched as Warrick tried to get Nick's jaw off the floor.

"As her surrogate big brother, I think it's my job," Chris countered.

"Oh hell no, you aren't getting information on her love life like you did mine," Sara shook her head as Jack started to play with the keyboard and Chris smiled.

"Really now? So does your mother know Duchess?" he asked with a wink and Sara groaned.

"Not again," she grumbled and Jessica laughed as she slipped around to link arms with Sara and keep her from escaping.

Before Jessica had a chance to answer Chris, he started singing as Jack began playing a familiar ABBA tune, at least to the 'five' Sidles of course.

You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue, but I can't take the chance
On a chick like you

There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings
Are driving you wild
Ah but girl, you're only a child

Shaking their heads Sara and Jessica exchanged a laugh before joining in.

Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out
And I could chat with you baby

Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out
Take it easy, better slow down girl
That's no way to go

Does your mother know
Take it easy, try to cool it girl
Play it nice and slow
Does your mother know

Shaking his head, Chris circled the two as he continued to sing on his own, Sara following the sound of his feet as Jessica watched him, eyebrow raised and a half smirk on her lips.

I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching
For that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one

Now you're so cute, I like your style
And I now what you mean when you give me
A flash of that smile
But girl you're only a child

"Child? Pft," Sara announced with a smirk before they joined in and Jessica grabbed him and made him stop circling them, both girls giving him a glare before smiling.

Smirking Chris grabbed Jessica's hand as he pulled her from Sara's side before spinning her away and Sara simply smiled as she moved over and leaned against the wall while they sang.

Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out

And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out
Take it easy, better slow down girl
That's no way to go

Does your mother know
Take it easy, try to cool it girl
Play it nice and slow
Does your mother know

Chris spun Jessica once more, before bringing her back and lowering her into a dip with the same arm he had spun her with, offering no support with his other. Arching backwards she went down before he pulled her back up with the same arm and spun her out once more, this time letting go. Jessica stopped spinning a second later to wink at him as he gave a slight bow, both still singing along with Sara.

Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out

And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out

Chris disco danced his way over to where Sara was leaning against the wall, pulling her hand away from the wall and then her as he pulled her into a spin, Jessica copying her previous position against the far wall. Pulling her along he danced backwards until they were in the center of the cleared space in the room, and Sara, shaking her head, danced along with him.

Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out

And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out

Repeating the same routine done with Jessica, Chris ended their little dance with a spin out, and the dip, except this time he didn't spin her away and instead spun her towards where Jessica was standing. Sara extended her hand with a wink and Jessica grabbed it, so when Chris spun Sara back, Jessica came with, letting go to catch his other hand.

Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out

And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe ...

Finishing with the song, Chris spun both of them out, only to immediately spin them back and wrap an arm around their waists before Sara started giggling like mad, Jessica following.

"Wow, when did you people perfect that? Greg asked as Chris lowered Jessica to the floor, as she was looking a bit pale, Sara following moments later, not quite as pale as her 'sister'

"Jessica was in high school when we finally managed to get her involved in the family show. Chris thought up the idea of dancing, and the three of them planned routines, memorized them, and such," Laura explained.

"I made the mistake of complaining to Sara about Thomas trying to get me to do Phantom with him not knowing that Laura was in the room at the time. One thing led to another and I was a part of the show at the B&B," explained Jessica from her spot on the floor. "Nick, Baby, could you get me a glass of water please?"

"Amazingly cool," Lindsey grinned as Laura disappeared to get water for the three, while Nick came over to drop down onto the ground next to his fiancé. Moments later Laura returned with water, and a small baggie of crackers that she discreetly passed to Jessica with a wink, before sitting in front of her and Nick and effectively blocking Jessica from anyone's view across the room, other then the top of her head.

"Thanks," Jessica said quietly accepting both the crackers and the water

Laura smiled in response as Sara shook her head once more. "Okay then, no more dancing routines, I can't handle those spins," Sara sighed looking up at her brother who was still standing next to her. "You spin too fast," she added with a smile.

"It's the beat Princess," he countered with a shrug

"Ha! I'll have you know, Little Boy, that just because it's a fast beat, doesn't mean you have to spin at the speed of light," Laura countered.

"Really now?" Chris challenged and Laura grinned.

"Nick, would you kindly see my youngest Girl Child over to sit by Jack," Laura began, "then I need you back over with the others," she continued before looking around the room.

"What are you planning Laura?" Sara asked curious.

"Proof that Little Hop doesn't know what he's talking about," Laura answered as she rose and walked over to whisper in her husband's ear.

"Little Hop?" Jim asked with a snicker.

"Laura is the biggest Fantasia fan in the world. As a result, we have all be nicknamed and found characters that represent us in the movie," Sara explained as Nick and Jessica went over to join Jack before Nick headed back to where the others were.

"Oh? Who are you then?"

"One of the Centaurettes. Laura is Diana, Goddess of the Hunt, for good reason," Sara added with a wink and Jim just nodded his head, taking the hint for what it was.

"Now then, we have a nice square that is clear, size of the clear space in the living room back home," Laura began as she walked over to Sara and helped her up.

"I see..." Sara began still confused as Laura went over and pushed Chris to stand next to her.

"Do I ask?" Chris asked confused and Sara shrugged.

"Beats me."

"We're singing," Laura answered.

"There's no song that has you, me, and Chris singing..." Sara argued.

"No, there isn't." Laura replied.

"But...oooh," Sara drew out when she realized what her mother was up to before grinning.

"What?" Chris asked still lost as Sara turned to face him her hand going to her hips and she winked.

"I've been cheated by you since I don't know when," she began to sing before Jack started playing in accompaniment. "So I made up my mind, it must come to an end," she added shaking her head before continuing. Following another pre-learned routine, though no spinning.

"Look at me now, will I ever learn
I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just a look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, oooh"

Throwing her hands up in the air she stepped away from him to where Laura was waiting.

"Mamma Mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you" she gestured back towards him over her shoulder.

"Mamma Mia, does it show again
My, my, just how much I missed you
Yes I've been broken hearted
Blue since the day we parted

Why, why, did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know

My, my, I could never let you go," Sara finished shaking her head.

"I've been angry and sad about the things that you do," Laura sang as she looked at her son. "I can count all the times that I've told you we're through," she continued with a shake of her head.

"And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that strong
Just one look and I hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, oooh."

Joining in, Sara and Laura sang.

"Mamma Mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you
Mamma Mia, does it show again

My, my, just how much I missed you
Yes I've been broken hearted
Blue since the day we parted

Why, why, did I ever let you go
Mamma Mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never

Mamma Mia, it's a game we play
Bye bye, doesn't mean forever."

As Jack started the chorus one more time, Jessica joined in as the two Sidle woman danced to the beat, still minus the spinning.

"Mamma Mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you
Mamma Mia, does it show again

My, my, just how much I missed you
Yes I've been broken hearted
Blue since the day we parted

Why, why, did I ever let you go
Mamma Mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never

Mamma Mia, it's a game we play
Bye bye, doesn't mean forever."

As the song finished Laura and Sara crossed their arms over their chests as they looked at Chris, scarily alike and Jessica laughed at the look on Chris' face. A 'help me, they're going to kill me' look.

"Alright, I stand corrected." Chris began after a few moments. "I take it we're on an ABBA kick then?" he asked with a smile.

"Who knows," Sara shrugged before she and Laura headed over to get seats away from the main 'dance-way'.

"Technically it's Jessie girl's turn to pick a song so…" Laura pointed out.

Jessica sat at the piano and thought for a moment, before a smile broke out on her face. "Jack, could I borrow your voice please?"

"Of course, my girl," Jack agreed as he walked over and stood behind Jessica, his hands on her shoulders as she started to play. Just as she started singing, Jessica looked up and made eye contact with Nick.

Honey, honey, how you thrill me, aha honey, honey
Honey, honey, nearly kill me, aha honey, honey
I heard about you before

I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean
You're a love machine
Oh you make me dizzy

Honey, honey, let me feel it, aha honey, honey
Honey, honey, don't conceal it, aha honey, honey
The way that you kiss goodnight

The way that you hold me tight
I feel like I wanna sing
When you do your thing

Jack gave Jessica's shoulders a squeeze as he started singing in her place.

I don't wanna hurt you baby
I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground girl
You'd better not get to high

When Jack trailed off, Jessica picked up once more, her gaze never once leaving Nick, her eyes twinkling.

But I'm gonna stick to you boy
You'll never get rid of me
There's no other place in this world
Where I'd rather would be

Honey, honey, touch me baby, aha honey, honey
Honey, honey, hold me baby, aha honey, honey
You look like a movie star

But I know just who you are
And honey, to say the least
You're a doggone beast

Jack repeated his chorus once more, as he sat down and started playing alongside Jessica.

So stay on the ground girl
You'd better not get too high

Jessica began singing again when Jack finished, letting him take over the playing as she rose from the piano bench and made her way over to where Nick was sitting and promptly sat on his lap.

There's no other place in this world
Where I'd rather would be

Honey, honey, how you thrill me, aha honey, honey
Honey, honey, nearly kill me, aha honey, honey
I heard about you before

I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean
You're a love machine
Oh you make me dizzy

"Okay, am I the only one here who gets the impression there's more going on with those two then they're letting on?" wondered Greg as Nick kissed Jessica.

"They're engaged silly, of course there's more going on then they talk about," Mia teased.

"Yeah, I mean, I don't want to hear about their love life or anything. The song left enough to one's imagination," Jim added and Greg shook his head.

"It's more than that," argued Greg

"Whatever it is, if there is something, it's their lives and their place to tell," Sara countered as she stood. "And I'll be right back," she added before making her way from the room.

"If you'll all excuse me for a minute," Jessica said as she rose from Nick's lap.

"Now?" Nick asked curiously. Jessica nodded and followed Sara from the room.

Moments later Sara emerged from the bedroom, having used her own bathroom. "Sara, can I talk to you?" asked Jessica.

"Of course," Sara smiled. "Steal the bed for a seat?" she continued curious.

"That works," agreed Jessica as she closed the door behind them before sitting down on the bed. "Greg was right you know."

"Oh?"

"There's more going on with me and Nick than we've let on. We've actually gotten really good at hiding it," admitted Jessica quietly

"You're not involved in a threesome with Lady Heather are you?" Sara asked with a smile.

"No," Jessica replied with a laugh. "Sara, I'm pregnant."

"Congratulations," Sara answered immediately with a large grin.

"Thanks. Listen Sara, I would have told you sooner but..."

"Pft!" Sara interrupted as she wrapped her arms around Jessica before continuing next to her ear. "The last few months have been insane. When would you have had a chance to tell me? Besides, it makes sense that you guys wouldn't want anyone knowing right away," she added before pulling back. "I just demand to be the first to know when you and Nick decide to tie the knot," she added with a wink.

"We're planning to wait until the baby is at least 6 months old before we actually get married," replied Jessica. "There's more..."

"Okay," Sara nodded. "There is?"

"There is. I didn't tell you sooner because I didn't know how to ask you what I want to."

"Jyn, this is me. Just ask," Sara answered softly

"Well, to start I'd like to have you be my baby's godmother...That is if you'll do it," she continued uncertainly.

"Oh…oh…" Sara began smiling before sniffing as her eyes started to well up. "Jyn girl, you have to ask if I'd do it? Of course I would! I'd be honored…I am honored," she continued trying not to cry.

Jessica smiled in return. "That was the easy part," she said through her own sniffles. "We've decided on names. If it's a boy we're going to call him Sebastian William Gilbert Stokes and if it's a girl we'd like to call her Sara Victoria Charlotte Stokes. How would you feel about me naming my baby after you? Nick and I thought we'd name our baby after the most important people in our lives. Our daughter after the person responsible for us being together in the first place."

"Oh God, there goes the whole not crying thing," Sara laughed as she finally gave up. "Oh Jyn...okay honored doesn't even cover it," she continued with a smile. "Happy tears by the way," she continued with a giggle.

"Everything all right in here?" asked Nick from the doorway

"You!" Sara exclaimed pointing at him. "Get your butt over here," she ordered.

"What have I done?" asked Nick curiously as he made his way over to the bed where Jessica and Sara were sitting

"Nothing that's bad," Sara turned towards him before grinning. "Congratulations!"

"Thank you," replied Nick before turning towards Jessica. "I take it she said yes then," he commented with a smile

"You'd think I was going to say no the way you have to ask that question," Sara rolled her eyes, smiling still. "Alright then, if you came looking for us, Gil isn't far behind, we better get out there before the entire party is brought into my bedroom. And that is so not happening," Sara continued shaking her head. "Besides, it's probably my turn to pick the next song..." she continued to herself.

"Well then, I guess we'd better go rejoin the others," commented Jessica as Nick helped her up from the bed. "Yes, she said yes," Jessica told Nick quietly as they made their way from the room.

"Hmm, hey Nick. You grew up in the seventies. You know the lyrics to Waterloo?" she asked suddenly from behind them as they moved down the hallway.

"Why?" he asked warily as he and Jessica stopped in the hallway and turned around to face Sara

"I've got to pick the next song. And thinking I can pick one at least someone other than the family might be able to sing. Besides, you have to get used to getting dragged into these things. You've fathered a Sidle surrogate grandchild," she added with a wink.

"Surrogate Sidle Grandchild?" Greg asked from the other side of the couple. "I should make bathroom breaks more often, you learn the most interesting things on them," he continued with a grin.

Jessica groaned. "Can I kill him?"

"No, Mia needs him," Sara sighed. "But Greg, you say a word before they tell the world...I'll turn my death threat plans away from the Stokes family and come after you."

"Wait a minute. I thought I was the only member of the Stokes family that you threatened," commented Nick. "Sara, what's going on and who else in my family have you threatened recently?"

"Huh? What?" Sara asked looking up like she was lost in thought. "Who have I been threatening in your family? Well there's you, and then half the male population that forms the family here in CSI..." she trailed off.

"That's not what you meant Sara," argued Nick. "You said the Stokes family, not just me, so who Sara? Who else have you threatened in my family? I think I have a right to...never mind. I think I know who you were referring to," he finished as it dawned on him who Sara was referring to when he remembered who in his family Sara had met and who would warrant a threat from her and why.

"Yes yes yes," Sara sighed. "Words were exchanged, but I didn't just threaten, we talked...as strange as that sounds. What was said, I'll never share, it's up to her. And hopefully she'll stop and listen to the conversation," Sara shrugged lightly. "But anyway, you never answered by question, do you by chance know any of the lyrics to Waterloo?"

"Oh the ABBA song?" Greg asked with a grin. "I know them!"

"That was a given Greggo." Sara giggled.

"Vaguely." Answered Nick.

"Good, then if we drag everyone else into the chorus, you can join," Sara smiled.

"Ooo, all of us get to join in?" Greg asked with another grin.

Sara giggled once more as Nick and Jessica just stood there shaking their heads. "Hey Jyn girl, what do you say? Want to help me start of Waterloo? We send Nick in to let Jack or Scor know that we need the music, and Greggo here can spread the word among those who might actually know the lyrics that it's an optional group song for the last chorus?"

"Sounds good to me," agreed Jessica.

"Alright then, boys you have your orders." Sara giggled.

"Yes ma'am!" Greg answered with a salute before turning on his heels and heading back the way he'd come.

"Did he just salute me or something?" Sara asked after a beat. "Did he just call me "ma'am"?" she continued shaking her head. "Why do I suddenly feel either old, or like I want to strangle him..." she continued as she tilted her head in thought.

"Yes he did, and yes...he did," Jessica told her. "And as for the strangling him part? If I can't do it, you can't do it," she said as she pushed Nick back out into the living room.

"Good point," Sara giggled before the piano started a few seconds later. "Shall we then?" she asked before they linked arms.

"Why not. Let's go," agreed Jessica as she led Sara back into the living room.

Once there, Sara let go of Jessica's arm and looked at her with a wink before beginning.

"My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, promise to love me forever more
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you

Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo"

Smiling Jessica glanced over and caught Nick's eye as she sang.

"My my, I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how I could ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose"

Sara joined in as they repeated the chorus before she continued on her own.

"Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, promise to love me forever more
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you

Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose"

And as Chris started playing the chorus one time, it seemed as if Greg had managed to spread the word. Laura, Jack and Chris immediately joined in of course, as did Greg, Mia, Catherine, Warrick, Lindsey, and even Nick...on a word or two.

"Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah Waterloo

Finally facing my Waterloo
Woo-woo-woo-woo Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you

Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo
Woo-woo-woo-woo Waterloo
Knowing my fate is..."

Once the song was finished Sara started to giggle. "I can't believe we actually got so many people to sing with us," she laughed.

"I know, only Gil and Jim didn't sing..." Jessica mused.

"Yeah, why didn't you sing Jim?" Sara asked as she slipped down to sit on the floor.

"I don't sing, Sweetheart," Jim answered.

"Pft. Neither does Catherine and she joined in."

"Hey, your husband didn't sing either," Jim defended himself.

"Gil's excused. He only sings on very special occasions," Sara answered waving her hand.

"Oh? What occasions are those?" Catherine asked as she looked over at him. "And how come I've never witnessed one of those occasions."

"Because I intend to never repeat the reason for the occasion, and have yet to have the occasion arise before recently," Gil answered.

"Well, that was enlightening," Jim rolled his eyes.

"Okay, subject changey" Gil announced.

"Hmm, he doesn't like to talk about his singing, this is something we must tease him about for the rest of his life," Catherine mused before winking at him. "So does that mean the performances are over?"

"Yes!" Sara cried happily. "So pack up that keyboard brother dear, it's not getting anymore use today."

"Spoil sport," Chris answered before setting in to pack his keyboard up.

"It's written in my job description that I am one," Sara answered. "So what new subject shall we talk about?"

"Actually, there's something Nick and I need to ask Gil. A favor actually," commented Jessica as she and Nick sat back in their spots on the couch.

"Oh?" Gil asked as he was making his way over to get Sara from the floor.

"Well, Sara already said yes so it's up to you now whether you want to be a godfather or not," replied Jessica.

Gil stopped and looked back at them, blinking for a second. "Last I checked I already was one..." he pointed out before smiling slightly. "But I'd love to be another one," he added with a wink before bending to help Sara to her feet.

"Wait! Back up the trolley," Catherine began raising her hands in a 'time-out' signal. "Is that your way of not so subtly saying that you are saying that you're pregnant?"

Jessica and Nick looked at Catherine before looking at each and then back at Catherine, they're expressions completely blank. "Is that what we're saying?" asked Jessica.

"Arrg! You're not supposed to tease the pregnant woman who already terrifies people with memories of her last two pregnancies!" Catherine exclaimed.

"What my dear frustrated wife is trying to say is congratulations," Warrick smiled as he placed a hand over Catherine's mouth before she could say move.

"I'm sorry Catherine," Jessica apologized with a smile. "Yes, I'm pregnant and Sara and Gil are going to be the godparents."

"I'm going to be an uncle?" Chris asked with a grin. "Hallelujah, I thought I'd be the one who had to provide them with grandchildren," he continued with a grin. Before five decorative pillows flew his way.

Jessica stuck her tongue out at Scor before turning her attention back to the others. "We didn't say anything sooner because of what happened the last time, although I'm in a lot better health than I was then, and we wanted to ask Sara and Gil to be the godparents first."

"That makes sense," Catherine nodded. "Now, out of the way, I want a hug!" she continued with a grin before heading towards Jessica and Nick.

"I'm next!" Greg yelled before everyone started converging on the couple to give congratulations. Laura, Jack and Chris went last, except for Gil.

"Congratulations Jess," Gil smiled as he gave her a hug, Sara behind him. "Finally understand why she came back from the bathroom with tear tracks," he teased with a smile before moving to shake Nick's hand.

"Worry-wort isn't he?" Sara smiled before hugging Jessica once more.

"I know the feeling," admitted Jessica returning Sara's hug.

"So true," Sara agreed as she stepped back. "So, what should we do now?" she asked everyone.

"Well, we did come prepared..." Jack began with a smile.

"Prepared?" asked Jessica as Nick stepped up beside her. "Should we be worried?"

"He means Jesters," Sara sighed. "Jack went and brought their set as well...So now we have enough sides for twenty-something people to play," she continued shaking her head.

"Well of course. Your cousin is in town, as is Bri. There are dreams of the largest Jesters game in history after all," Laura teased.

"Now that is a scary thought..." Sara shuddered. "That game could take days."

"So, does that mean Scor's ready to get his butt kicked again?" mused Jessica with a mischievous smirk.

"Ha! I never get my butt kicked," Chris shot back.

"Interesting, could have sworn you didn't win a single game in Frisco," Sara teased.

"Then what do you call what happened the night of the foundation opening?" wondered Jessica. "I seem to think I kicked your butt."

"Those are fighting words, Jessie girl," Jack smiled. "Now to see you beat him tonight and continue that winning streak you two girls have over him."

"And you have to teach me how to play," Lindsey spoke up.

"So are we playing then?" Sara asked

"We have to end by noon if any of us are going to be able to work tonight..." Catherine spoke up.

"Oh that's easy, we'll just pause the game and Jack can make a chart of everyone's placements, we brought the folder," Laura answered.

"Folder?" Mia asked.

"We learned years ago that Jesters games can take a long time. The record for a game was three days because of interruptions. So Jack and Laura created 'The Folder'. Sort of like what you use to store baseball cards, except it's got special pockets for everyone's hands, and you can write on the plastic with erasable markers. And there's a pocket for the deck and discard pile...it's all very insane," Sara explained.

"Well then, I suppose we should set up and start playing then. We've only got about two hours till the deadline," Jim smiled.

"I got the boards," Chris announced before disappearing.

"Eager to lose, isn't he?" Sara asked before she and Jessica started laughing.
