The second half. Hope you enjoy it...Although personally, I'm really not so happy with how this fic turned out, but I'm over it so it is what it is. Sorry for any grammatical/spelling mistakes it's just my rushed way of typing.
Can you believe I don't own freaks and geeks? I can, rereading this fic. Thanks for the reviews.
"You wanna go to the mall?" Daniel asked disbelievingly as he looked at Kim "I just took you there last weekend."
"Well Daniel, its Friday and they're having a sale." She glared at him "So get off your butt and let's go."
"Yeah, wouldn't want to leave it too late, or all the best stuff will be stolen already." Ken droned.
"Hey." Kim protested as she took a swipe at Ken, who ducked and she ended up whacking Nick instead.
"Ow." He complained taking a swipe back at Kim.
"Hey, don't hit girls!"
"Since when are you a girl?" Ken asked dryly. He ducked as Kim took another swipe at him.
Lindsay turned to Daniel while everyone else was occupied, "So, Saturday? Or Sunday?" she whispered.
"Huh?"
"You wanted to study? Pick a day."
"Oh" he said surprised, "I wasn't serious Lindsay. Come on there are tons of better things to do on the weekend."
"Like?"
He squinted down at her, "Wait, do you want to study with me?"
Lindsay smirked, "All in the interest of science." She answered patting his shoulder condescendingly.
Daniel smirked back at her, "Fine, see you tomorrow. Your place or mine?" he added smoothly.
She laughed and pushed some of her dark hair behind her ear to look up at him curiously, "You've never invited me over before…how could I possibly give up the chance to see you in your natural environment?"
He shook his head at her, "I'll pick you up at twelve."
"Will I need to bring my books over? Do you ever take anything out of your locker?"
Daniel pouted. "Lunch." He joked. "It would probably be best if you bring your books." He smiled and then turned back to the fray before them, which involved Kim trying to shove some of Lindsay's burger down Ken's shirt, while Nick struggled between them. "Reckon they'd notice if we made a run for it?" he asked staring at their friends.
"I'm game if you are." She said taking a deep breath and pushing herself out of the booth.
Daniel leapt out after her and grabbed her hand and started running, dragging Lindsay behind him. She wasn't going fast enough so he looked back at her, "Pretend you're trying to ditch gym." He encouraged as she giggled breathlessly.
Ken, Kim and Nick looked after them. "Now look what you've done." Kim said annoyed "now they've ditched us. Again. Perhaps if someone hadn't started gorging himself as soon as he sat down…" she added glaring at Ken.
"Oh I'm sure it had nothing to do with the puppy dog eyes that Nick was making at Lindsay." Ken droned sarcastically.
Nick rolled his eyes, "You guys think it could be what you've done to Lindsay's burger?" he asked as he took in the mess on the table. The three of them ducked their heads as the woman behind the counter looked over at their table. "We should probably split guys." He added quietly.
Lindsay and Daniel jumped into his car and breathed heavily as they buckled up and took off out of the car park. Lindsay started giggling while Daniel stared indignantly at her as they pulled up to a stoplight. "What?" he asked huffily "Got any comments on how I always seem to be running away?"
Lindsay looked at him carefully, "Don't you think that may have been an overreaction?" she pinched her fingers together an inch apart, "Just a tiney tiny overreaction? They are our friends after all." She glanced out the windscreen "S'not like we were on a date."
Daniel blinked at her inquisitively, "You say that like it's not entirely out of the realms of possibility."
"'Realms of possibility?'" Lindsay giggled.
"Hey." Daniel waved at her as the light turned green, "Focus."
Lindsay looked down at her hands and snorted, "You want to know if I have a thing for you? Is that it?"
"Well do you?"
Lindsay considered her answer carefully, "If the world ended and by some freak of nature there were a handful of survivors that included the two of us, then you wouldn't exactly be the last person I'd want to hook up with." Daniel snorted and Lindsay raised an eyebrow "On the other hand if your talking about now, the way things stand with Nick and Kim…it wouldn't be worth it."
"Wouldn't be worth it." He echoed doubtfully.
"No, it wouldn't be worth it." She confirmed. "Can you imagine putting up with that everyday?" She sighed, "Did you even see the look Nick was giving me?" she shook her head and groaned in frustration, "How can he still-"
"Be hung up on you? Oh, I don't know…might be that your smart, cute and funny." He raised his eyebrows, "And even if you did break up the band, you're a hell of a lot more low maintenance the Kim will ever be."
"I broke up the band that one time."
"One memorable time."
"So you think us as a couple would work because I'm not Kim?"
"And I'm not Nick."
"Sorry, try again." She sing-songed, with a roll of her eyes.
"I just said you were smart, cute and funny…isn't that a enough?"
"Daniel, you're kind of a jerk most of the time."
"Linds, that's just part of my charm."
Lindsay burst out laughing as the seriousness of his face. She suddenly realised that they were pulling into her street, "Look, maybe you'll just have to prove how good a friend you can be first…then we'll see." She smiled, "Thanks for driving me home."
"We'll I couldn't exactly let you suffer riding the bus, could I?
She snorted, "I did manage before I meet you, you know."
They pulled up in front of Lindsay's house; she got out and walked around to the driver's side of the car as Daniel stepped out. "Oh." She exclaimed surprised.
"Come on." He said putting an arm around her and walking her up the path to her door.
Lindsay grinned, "You putting the good friend thing into practice?" she asked cheekily.
They stopped on her front step and Lindsay turned to Daniel about to thank him again when he spoke. "Nah, just getting my jacket back. I notice you weren't exactly jumping at the chance to return it." He said stepping around her to pull it off.
Lindsay blushed, embarrassed. "Opps, guess it was quite comfy." She cringed as she surrendered it to him.
Daniel chuckled as he walked back to stand in front of her, shrugging on his jacket. "You look cute when you're flustered." He smirked, leaning down to steal a quick kiss from her before swaggering down the path and leaping into his car.
Lindsay stared after him in shock. "Hey! You sneaky-" she bit her lip as he waved and roared off down the street. Shaking her head she unlocked the front door and went inside. Stupid jerk she thought as she smiled to herself looking forward to tomorrow.
What did you guys think of the ending? Was it a little rushed? I can't really be unbiased about it because i wrote it....so review.
Also for anyone interested in my new DW fic (which is yet to be named) I'm up about 4 chapters already (but i want to get more down while it's flowing before I start posting)...So far it's got The Doctor and Rose (of course) set after S4 and then i get to introduce Captain Jack and his new team to the mix, which is enormous amounts of fun (and I'm really enjoying writing it). I want it finished or at least know exactly where I'm going before I start posting chapters, at the moment I'm surprised they're still helping Jack with a problem after a couple of chapters...it really has got a life of it's own.
