I don't own Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

The group of 6 teens left the school all talking about what happened to them during the school day.

"I have two classes with the dim witted bitch" Munch sighed.

"Who?" Casey asked as she linked arms with Huang.

"Kathy" Munch sighed as he wrapped his arms around Alex's shoulders. Olivia was on the other side of Alex. She felt kind of left out all them seemed to have a buddy to link arms with or to wrap their arms around. Well except for Fin and Melinda. But there were walking side by side.

Fin kept pace with Melinda, just wanting to walk near her. He wouldn't tell anybody this but he had a major crush on her. That could be a problem because they were best friends since they could walk. Their mothers were close, and wanted their children to be close too. He wasn't sure how Melinda felt about him. She probably viewed him as an over protective older brother. He sighed at that thought.

Melinda was in her own little world. She was thinking about so many things at once that she was beginning to have an headache. She heard Fin sigh and she looked at him out the corner of her eyes. He was rather handsome. She thought, she put her arm through the crook of his arm and went closer to him. "What's wrong Finny?"

Fin laughed at the name. Melinda had started calling him that when they were 4 years old and she was the only one he allowed to call him that. "Just thinking. How about you? You've been pretty quiet since we left the school"

She sighed and brought her other hand to tug at her long sleeved shirt. "Nothing. Just thinking"

Fin nodded and felt his heart skip a beat when he felt her head on his arm.

"You guys want to go to the club house?" Alex asked excitedly.

Huang and Casey both groaned that ended with a laugh.

"We haven't been there in forever!" Munch laughed.

"What's the clubhouse?" Olivia asked slightly confused.

"It's this place we found when we were in 6th grade. We made it our hideout, our hangout place" Huang explained.

"Yeah it turned out that every single one of us has used it as a place to stay one time or an other" Fin said with a smile.

"Oh. Where is it?" Olivia asked.

"We'll show you" Alex said. She hooked arms with Olivia and the teenagers continued to walk and talk on the streets. About 10 minutes later they arrived at an park. But there were no children in it. They kept walking until they got some lonesome trees. Olivia looked around confused wondering if the clubhouse was actually a tree house. She looked up for good measure.

Alex laughed and said. "See I told you guys that we didn't need to worry about creepy homeless people use it! Olivia doesn't even see it!"

"Sweet" Melinda said.

Alex looked around making sure that no one else was around. She then smiled and said. "Okay. Here we go" she went forward and went behind a bush.

Olivia followed her and gasped when she found a door in found a door. She watched as Alex pulled out a key and stuck it in the door knob.

"We took the door from my garage." she explained. "We can get you a key" she added as she let everyone in.

Olivia yet again gasped. It was awesome! She was expecting small shabby looking room or a shed with a few lawn chairs or something. But what instead of that it was a medium sized room with a small love-seat, bean bags, and chairs along with a table and a cooler. There was a radio and a stand that held books, CD'S and other things. She smiled as she looked at the posters and pictures that covered the cement walls. "What was this place before?"

"We have no idea. I tried to look it up but it didn't come up. I was thinking it was maybe a storage room for the toys and things they didn't use. But I don't know for sure" Melinda said with a shrug of her shoulders. She took of her book bag and tossed it where everyone else tossed theirs. She sat on the love seat with Fin.

"What do you think?" Casey asked with a smile as she took a seat at the table and pulled out a CD from her book bag.

"It's need a better make over. I can work on it later" Huang said as he looked at the rugs they had brought years ago. They haven't been in here for almost 2 years.

Everyone laughed. "Not you! I was talking to Livia"

"It's awesome." Olivia said as she took a seat on one of the bean bags.

"We have a nick name!" Munch said with a fist punch.

"What?" everyone asked at the same time.

"Olivia has a nickname" he repeated.

"What is it?" Casey asked.

Munch rolled his eyes and said. "Really? Casey you gave it to her!"

"Oh yeah I did! Olivia, Livia" Casey smiled.

"Oh wee sweetie. Are you sure you weren't born a blond? I mean do you even remember you have cut and dyed your hair so many times" Huang sassed.

"Shut it" Casey laughed back as she fingered her now bright red locks.

Melinda and Fin where having their own little conversation on the love seat. "Mellie. I haven't been over to your house in a long time. How is mama D?" Fin asked. He called Melinda's mother,Denise, Mama D and Melinda called his mother,Kaitlin, mama K.

Melinda sighed and said. "She hasn't been feeling to well. She's back on chemo" she whispered. Fin was the only one that knew of Melinda's mothers condition. Her other friends just knew she got sick sometime.

Fin gasped and he wrapped his arm around her and held her close. "I'm sorry" he whispered. He wasn't really sure of what to say about that.

"Don't apologize you didn't do anything" she said with a smile as she looked at him. She liked having his arm around her shoulders. But she blinked and sat up, what was she thinking! Fin was her best friend! She couldn't risk that friendship, she thrived on it, she needed someone to keep her balanced.

"You okay?" Fin asked.

"Oh yeah." she said as she stood up. She looked around the clubhouse, trying to find something to look at so that she didn't have to look into his eyes, she finally focused on a picture of all of them at The Central Park Zoo in 8th grade. She smiled remembering that day. "You guys?"

"What's up Doc?" Munch.

Everyone groaned at his corney joke.

Melinda laughed rolling her eyes. "It's time we went some where and took new pictures. We have a new friend and this clubhouse can use some shaking up"

"Make over" Huang said as he high-fived his best friend.

"I like that idea. We should go hit up St. Marks Place. We haven't been there in forever." Alex offered.

"I haven't been there" Olivia said. She might have lived in New York City all her life but she hasn't seen many of the sights. She wasn't allowed outside that much.

They all looked at her with wide shocked eyes. "You swear you have lived here your whole life?"

"Yep" Olivia laughed.

"And you have never been to St. Marks Place?" Huang asked in disbelief.

"How about Manhattan Mall?" Alex asked.

"Nope. I wasn't allowed to go places. Hell until last year I wasn't allowed to" but she stopped talking realizing she would have said to much. She shook her head and said. "Well I haven't really been anywhere in the city"

The others looked at each and Alex said. "That is going to change! We are going to hang out whenever we can! A New Yorker that hasn't been anywhere in this kick ass city!" she shook her head in disbelief.
Olivia smiled at her new found friends. "Thanks"

"No problem" Munch said.

They stayed there until around 6 in the evening. "So thankfully we all live close by each other. That we can at least make sure that everyone makes it home safe." Munch said as they walked.

Olivia nodded she told them where she lived.

"I live in that apartment building too! Just on the other side" Casey exclaimed. "We live like right in the center of everyone else. Melinda and Fin are 7 minutes away. Alex and Huang live on the next street and Munch lives two streets on the other side"

"That's crazy!" Olivia said.

"Yep. We can all meet up and walk together. We meet in the front of our building at 7:45" Casey informed.

Olivia nodded. Soon they started to go there separate ways, Olivia and Casey towards their apartment building, Alex and Huang towards their shirt and Fin, Munch and Melinda down the street where they would soon turn left.

Melinda, Fin and Munch walked down the street talking with another. Soon Munch got his house and he went inside waving goodbye.

"Mellie? What happened back in the clubhouse. Why did you jump like that?" he asked.

Melinda looked ahead and said with a shrug of her shoulders. "I don't know."

Fin looked at her and then sighed. "Okay"

She cleared her throat, trying to think of something to break the awkward silence. "Uhm so how about those Yankees?" she said knowing it would make him laugh.

As she predicted he started to laugh. "I have no idea" once the tension was broken they went on talking until he got her home. He walked her to the door and he stood there wondering what to say or do.

She looked at him, she could feel things changing between the two of them and it scared her senseless. She bit her bottom lip and said. "See you later Finny" she then gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and ran into the house.

Fin stood on her porch for almost 2 minutes before he turned on his heels. His right hand laid on his cheek, right where she had kissed him. He smiled brightly.
