Disclaimer: owning it, negative =/
A/N sorry for the delay, I thought I ought to get blood red snow rounded up before I updated, and let's face it, that took a while =/ BUT biology is all done! =] and I have 2 more stories fully planned and a couple of ideas for this story! Well, I feel I have redeemed myself now, so read on…
They had sat motionless at the top of the Ferris wheel for 10 minutes, by the time maintenance arrived at the scene, and were being yelled at by a very distressed Teresa .
'Help me get down, you guys are slacking off, this isn't fair' she yelled
'Ma'am, please calm down, I understand if you are afraid'
'No, you don't understand! I am trapped at the top of this unsteady thing, I want a refund!'
'I assure you a full refund will be issued ma'am, but you do need to calm yourself'
'Patrick, do something' Grace hissed at him
'Teresa, calm down please, it will be ok' he said, sliding her into a slight trance
She calmed down and proceeded to sleep on Patrick
'She is going to kill you when you snap her out of it' Grace warned
'Meh, nothing I can't handle
'If you insist'
'Oh, I do'
Grace laughed and lent into Wayne
'It is rather nice up here, don't you think, just coming onto twilight, nice glow over the hills' he started, hoping that he would pick up on the fact that she wanted to be kissed
'I hear you, Grace'
He slipped his hand up into the back of her hair and pressed his lips to hers
'Love you' he said
'Love you too'
'EWWWW!' Hayley and Kyle yelled, as they looked up at them
'Oh stop it, you will be doing it as well someday'
'NO WAY!' they yelled simultaneously
All the teenagers laughed at them
After 20 minutes of waiting, they all got off the wheel, and headed for the snack bar, before they went home. They all got candy floss and hot chips before getting into the taxi that Patrick had arranged. They got home in time to see Grace's mom running round the room in a floor length black dress, trying to get ready.
'Oh, Grace, good to see you, I need you guys to babysit tonight, I have a date tonight' she said as she tried to get earrings into her ear
'But mom, we have been doing that all day'
'Grace, I'm asking one night, please'
'We have to baby sit on the night of the ball too, and we go back in 2 days, this isn't fair'
'Can I have a word alone with Grace please?' Cassie said to the other 3 teenagers who were feeling awkward and out of place
'Sure' Teresa said, before leaving, all happy to leave the room
Grace rolled her eyes and returned her focus to her mom
'This is not fair, we haven't had any time to ourselves'
'Did you think you would be getting time to yourself? I asked you to come to help look after the kids, not get time off school to go party'
'Do you know what I have done today mom? I got up at god knows what hour to take 2 energetic kids to a fair, who yelled at everyone and spat on the roller coaster, they almost broke a mirror, they then ran off to a fortune tellers tent which took a good half hour to then find them, then we got stuck on a ferris wheel with them, I haven't had a moment to my own thoughts, this isn't fair to Wayne or Patrick either'
'Grace Anna Van Pelt, you are being unreasonable, you just want some time to go kiss Wayne'
'And you just want to go kiss the coach, I'm not stupid mom, the fact you are bringing lingerie to a mountain gave it away, what have you done today? Besides look at his butt?'
'I have done a lot actually, I think you are being disrespectful'
'I think you are being unfair'
They stared each other down for a minute, until Cassie broke
'Grace, I'm sorry, I know I have been unfair, but I really do like Chris, especially after your father and Brandon, I think I like him even more, please, help me'
Grace broke too, after hearing this
'I'm sorry mom, I was disrespectful too, we will look after them tonight'
'Oh, thank you Grace, you can all have the day and night off tomorrow, I will take them to the boys game, I was being silly'
'I think we both were, let's not fight again'
'I love you Grace, ok, now, have you seen my dove necklace?'
'Um, mom?'
'Yea?'
'It's around your neck
'Oh, I knew that'
'Sure you did, I'm going to go put the kids to bed'
'Ok, thanks love'
Grace walked out and into their room
'How did it go?' Teresa asked
'We are still on babysitting duty, but we are off all tomorrow, we were both being silly, now, have Hayley and Kyle gone on the low of sugar deprivation yet?'
'Just your luck, they have, but Hayley is sleep walking'
'Oh, this will be interesting'
They all sat out on the couch and Wayne was talking to Grace
'Middle name is Anna, huh?'
'Yea'
'I like it, it's pretty'
'Thanks, what is your middle name?'
'Mitchell'
'Equally as nice'
They were about to kiss when Hayley made her first night time sleep adventure appearance'
'Patrick?' she whined
'Yes?'
'There is a person here for you, they call themselves Bookcase' she said, before laughing and going back to her bed
'Are you sure she is asleep?' Grace asked him
'Yes, I told her that there was a special surprise tomorrow and if she came out of her room, she wouldn't get it'
'That would explain it then'
After many more visits from Hayley informing Patrick that various furniture items were coming to see him, ranging from table to toilet brush, she finally stayed in her bed. The four teenagers sat on the chairs and couches and began to feel the day catching up on them.
'Patrick?' Teresa asked
'Yes dear?'
'You hypnotised me on the Ferris wheel, didn't you?'
'Got me there'
'Why did you do that?' she demanded
'You were yelling abuse and threats at the repairmen, I thought it was for the best
'What should we do tomorrow?' Grace asked suddenly, before they ate each other's heads off
'I have an idea' Patrick informed
'And what might that be?'
'Telling you would take all the fun out of it' he said with a cheeky grin.
