Disclaimer: So since it's a new year and I'm sure you're wondering if I got the rights to primeval! Well guess what: I still don't own it!
Abby woke up cuddling into her pillow until she realized it wasn't like her pillow at home. Her pillow was old, stiff, and despite all her attempts at cleaning it smelled disgusting. This pillow was comfy and reminded her of Connor. Connor! The previous day all came back to her and she sat up quickly.
"That's probably not the best idea!" Connor commented while he himself sat up
"Connor thanks, thank you for everything yesterday."
"It's nothing. So how are you feeling?"
"Better I guess. Wait Connor what time is it?"
"We're playing hooky Abs! It's noon by the way. Don't worry we won't get detention. Sarah, Danny, and Becker said that they came up with a story to tell our teachers and all we have to do is forge a note from our guardians."
"Connor, that's illegal!"
"So are a lot of things people get away with." Connor mumbled under his breath
Abby heard his comment but chose to ignore it. "Connor, I have a favor to ask of you?"
"Anything!" Connor replied with
"Is it ok if I stay here?"
"Of course! You can stay in the guest room."
"Thanks Con!" Abby said and then kissed Connor on the cheek

Sarah, Danny, and Becker arrived at school early to come up with the plan they told Connor they already had.
"So, what's the plan?" Sarah asked
"Well they can't both be sick and we should come up with a story that accounts for Abby's injuries." Becker said
"I got it! Abby fell off her bike on Sunday and her stepfather wanted to make sure she didn't have a concussion or anything so he kept her home. Connor had that stomach bug that's going around, it lasts about 24 hours and then you're completely better." Danny said
"That might just actually work!" Sarah said kissing Danny on the cheek.

The next day Connor and Abby went to school and were surprised at how easily everyone fell for their story. None of the teachers or students thought anything was off with their story or at least didn't care enough to not notice the flaws.
The group, however, were different after the event, they were closer and more protective of one another. Abby began to trust Sarah and learned that she enjoyed having a girl to talk to. They hung out together almost every day after school at the cafeteria and on the weekends they were either found at Connor's or Danny's house.
Sarah should have realized that life was going too smoothly. She didn't even ask her when her parents called her into the family room after dinner.
"Sarah, your mother and I want to meet these classmates you have to work with on that history project. We would like to have dinner with them at the French restaurant in town, Saturday night."
"Of course dad, I'll tell them tomorrow." Sarah replied quickly trying to hide her panic
"Sarah, one last thing, please make sure they dress appropriately."
"Yes mum."
Sarah quickly ran to her room trying not to panic. She knew that Becker and Danny owned a suit but she was almost certain Connor doesn't own one. Abby was also a problem, Sarah knows everything she owned and none of it would be acceptable in her parent's mind. There was only one solution: a shopping trip.

The next day before school, Sarah met up with the group.
"What's the problem Sarah?" Danny asked
"My parents want to meet my history group at that super posh French restaurant in town. She expects all of you to be in formal wear." Sarah said getting nervous
"It'll be fine Sarah; I'll even wear my tux!" Danny explained trying to get her calm down by bringing her into a hug.
"I'll wear my tux as well." Becker said
Connor and Abby turned to each other not knowing what to do, neither of them have anything close to formal wear. "Umm Sarah-" Abby began but was interrupted by Sarah
"I know you don't have anything Abby, and I took an educated guess that Connor doesn't have anything so I figured we could go into town and get the two of you something."
"I'm not really a big fan of shopping but I'll go." Abby said reluctantly but with small smile
"Why not! What's the worst that could happen?" Connor said in reply
"Please tell me you did not just say that." Becker said
"I heard that whoever says that is doomed to attract trouble for the rest of their life!" Danny said acting serious
"Great!" Connor said while trying to sit down on the stairs but ended up falling.
"So we'll go shopping after school then we'll walk to town and get the clothes and maybe some fun things!" Sarah said hoping it wouldn't fail
A/N: I apologize for the shortness and lateness but it's been a tough year so far. One of my very close friends was forced to leave the country by her evil mother very suddenly. So it's been tough. I haven't had that much time to write but hopefully I should be back to updating quickly with longer chapters. I know I promised the shopping trip for this chapter but I pushed it to the next one. Please Review it keeps me motivated and almost always puts a smile on my face! Also tell me how your year has been so far!
