Disclaimer: I own nothing, zilch, nada, none, zero, I think you get the idea
A/N short warm up chapter for the real thing!!! I have to go back to school on Monday, I am not looking forward to that one bit, I would rather just sit here and write all day, school is full of dramas, and red Ivy high is the only school I want drama at. So, anyways, go ahead, read, you know you want to, why else would you be here, selling girl scout cookies? Haha, a bit of Cho there... anyways, rambling, read....review.... the usual....
They all sat up in Grace and Teresa's room some 20 minutes later discussing, the boys wanted to stay and 'help' look after Hayley and Kyle, while Teresa and Grace both wanted to go up to Shasta, as they had never been.
'Well, what if you go, and the house is robbed?' Wayne said
'We have burglar alarms and neighbourhood watch support, I think we will be fine' Grace said back
'What if you run into a grizzly bear, and get eaten up at Shasta?' Patrick said
'Ok, that's stupid, even for you' Teresa said
Jane was quiet for a bit after that.
'What if Hayley gets homesick?' Wayne said
'She doesn't, if she is with family, and she loves trips, she will be the hard one to convince to stay' Grace retorted, sighing
'So all the more reason to go' Teresa added
Jane spoke up again
'If I may offer a suggestion' he said
'Go on, if it doesn't involve wild animal attacks' Teresa said
'Grace, try to convince your mom to let us come too, Wayne plays football, so he could help out, and she generally likes me, so, I can't see a reason to say no' he said
'You know Patrick, that is a very good idea actually, can't believe I didn't think of it, but what about Cho, shall we invite him too?' Grace said
'Cho is spending this weekend with Jade, I think he will be fine, and I'm the smartest person in the room remember' he said
'Hmm, you sure, especially after that grizzly bear comment' Teresa said
'Ok, that was me running out of excuses, in fact, I do have one more'
'Go on'
'I would miss you if you went, Wayne would miss Grace too, and I don't think I could put up with a week of whining and pining for you'
'Aw, you do care' Teresa said hugging him
'Yea, course, and I really mean it about Wayne here too' he said indicating at the now scowling Wayne
'Aw, it's ok Wayne, I would drive Teresa mad too' Grace said crawling into his lap
This made Wayne smile
'So, I guess I should go ask Mom, Teresa, moral and emotional support?'
Teresa rolled her eyes
'Fine, if you insist' she said getting up of Patrick
'Good luck' they called
Grace was just about to walk into her mom's room, when she saw her packing in lingerie, her good ones, and on the bed was her best dress. She walked back a bit, notioning to Teresa to do the same, then knocked twice, rather loudly, her mom quickly packed the lingerie into the case and shut the lid
'Come in' she called
'Um, mom, we were wondering if Wayne and Patrick would be allowed to come to Shasta too, if it were ok with their parents, Wayne plays football too, and Patrick is idolized by Hayley, and he can entertain her' she said, hoping for the best
'Hmm, I will have to think about it, Autumn is bringing a friend up too, so I guess you two can as well, but if I let you, no funny business, you hear?'
'Yes ma'am'
'Then they can come, I'm sure Chri- Coach O'Donnell will appreciate the help'
'Thanks heaps mom, well, better not keep you from packing, and if you don't mind my asking, why is a dress necessary for the mountains?' Grace asked
'It's for the dinner after prize giving for coaches and assistants, so you will be on full babysitting duty that night'
'Ok, sure, um, see ya' Grace said walking off
As soon as they were out of earshot, they burst out laughing
'No funny business, and who is the one packing skimpy lingerie?' Grace said between laughs
'I know, haha, and this dinner will have an after dinner thing at Chris, oops, I mean coach O'Donnell's room' Teresa laughed back
'We better go tell the boys' Grace said once she calmed down
'I guess'
They walked back into the room, still grinning like loons
'Well?' Wayne said
'You can come' Grace started
'But no funny business' Teresa and Grace said at the same time starting a whole new round of laughter
'What's so funny?' Patrick asked
Teresa told them the story and soon enough, they were all just a pile on the floor, when they finally calmed down Patrick spoke up again
'I wonder what else is in that case you wouldn't think you would need for a mountain trip' he said starting them up again
A/N I will try get the first part of Shasta up over the weekend, I think Cho needs more love in the show, like a girlfriend, even for one episode, he is lonely. I was going to bring him to Shasta too, but then he would be a 5th wheel, and I didn't wanna bring Jade there, so yea, you see that button with the speech bubble on it directly below, if you click it you get cookies... well virtual ones anyway =]
