First and foremost, I would like to thank all the people who left me encouraging and positive reviews. I truly appreciate you liking and reading my story. I also truly appreciate the people who want me to keep going. This story is unconventional, and I accept that this completely out of the box story really isn't what some people want to read. But there are several stories that do follow the show closely or that start off where the show ended. This is not that story.

I think it would be overkill for me to write the same kind of story. And in that instance, i don't see the need for fanfiction that resembles the show perfectly. That is why I decided to write an AU Dacey story. Again, i understand that some of you don't like the changes that I made, but I will not make any more apologies for that. This is a work of fiction, and I don't want to write the same story over and over again.

Writing really isn't my passion, so I don't really have to write this. Just as you don't have to read it. If the fact that Lacey is chubby and Jo is a boy in this story unnerves you that much, I suggest you find another story to read. I don't want to come off as being mean or nasty about it, but I've received some mean and nasty reviews for this story, which I find unnecessary.

So, to make a long story short, I plan to see this story through to the end. I thank everyone that will be on the journey with me.

Cole and Rico are engaged in a heated make-out session in Rico's bedroom when they heard the front door slam. They both groan because they know Sarita is home. The girl brings nothing but drama and chaos wherever she goes. The only time she was even remotely bearable was when she was dating Danny. She got even worse when he broke up with her. She actually became an even bigger bitch than she was before, which is saying a lot. Sarita might actually be the devil's daughter.

They can hear her fussing as she's walking up the stairs. Just like that, the mood is ruined. They sit up and wait for the inevitable. Sarita knocks and actually waits for permission to enter. She learned the hard way never to go into Rico's room uninvited. She immediately starts badgering Rico and Cole when she enters.

"Why didn't you tell me Danny has a new girlfriend?" She asks neither one of them in particular.

"I didn't know he has a new girlfriend, Sarita. And even if I did, why would I tell you?" Cole says.

Rico looks confused. "Danny has a new girlfriend? Who?"

"That cow, Lacey Porter."

"She's in my Calculus class. And she isn't a cow, Rita."

"Whatever, Rico."

"I knew Danny asked her out, but I didn't know it was serious," Cole says.

"It's bad enough Danny is doing this to me. Then Phoebe acts like she's her new best friend. Now you two are keeping secrets from me."

"We're not keeping secrets from you. We have our own problems."

'One of you could've fucking told me."

"I didn't know."

"There wasn't anything to tell you."

Cole and Rico are both just watching her stand there fuming with her arms folded across her chest. She is unbearable.

"Whatever," Rico says. "I'm going to grab a snack. Want anything?"

"No, I'm good." Says Cole.

When Rico leaves, she sinks her claws in to Cole.

"You're gonna have to convince Danny that going out with Lacey is a bad idea."

"Why? He really likes her Sarita. Leave them alone."

"I don't care if he really likes her. He's not gonna make a fool out of me."

"Sarita, trust me. Danny isn't thinking about you."

"That's not the point!" Sarita screams, startling Cole. "You're going to do this for me. Since she's in Rico's class, you're gonna get him to tell her that Danny asking her out was a dare."

"Why can't you just tell Rico to do that?"

"Because he won't do it if it comes from me."

"Well, I'm not doing it either."

"Oh, yes you will." She says while walking up to him.

'No, I'm not."

"You'll do it or I'll be sure to tell everyone that their hot, star wide receiver, catches balls off the field as well."

Cole looks at her with hate and fury in his eyes.

"You really are a cold-hearted bitch, Sarita. How you and Rico share the same DNA is beyond me."

"Shut the fuck up, pretty-boy and do as I say, and I'll keep your little secret. The choice is yours."

Rico comes back into the room and notices the change in the atmosphere.

"What's going on? Why are you two so tense?"

"Nothing is going on, Rico. I was just leaving."

"Are you sure you two are really twins?"

"Yes, unfortunately. Why?"

"Well you definitely got all the good. And she got all the bad."

"What happened when I was gone?"

"Nothing. We need to get started on our Chemistry homework. We've put it off long enough."

"Well you owe me 10 more minutes. My evil twin interrupted us, remember?"

"Ok, 10 more minutes," Cole says as he pulls Rico back on the bed.

Regina and Joe are in her bedroom dressing after their latest sexcapade. Joe has essentially been cheating on Phoebe throughout their entire relationship. He should feel guilty for hurting Phoebe, but he doesn't. And he's hurting Regina in the process because he's only using her for sex since Phoebe won't put out. Besides, what Phoebe and Regina don't know, won't hurt them. He has his needs to consider. He's a teenaged boy with raging hormones. And he's Joe Masterson, the great. He doesn't feel the least bit bad about what he's about to ask of Regina.

"I need you to do me a favor Regina."

"Sure, I'll do anything for you Joe." And she means it.

"I need you to seduce Danny for me and get it on video."

Regina looks uneasy. But her desire to please Joe clouds her judgement.

"Ok. Why, though?"

"Because he's making an ass of himself running behind Lacey."

Joe is such a narcissist the he thinks everything is about him. Danny being seen in a bad light makes him look bad too. Or so he thinks.

"But what does me seducing him have to do with anything?"

"Because Danny is too stupid to realize what a mistake he's making by hooking up with her. Lacey is more likely to leave him alone if she thinks he's sleeping with you."

"Ok. So what do you want me to do?"

"I just want you to come on to him. Make him an offer he can't refuse. And make sure you get it on camera."

"That won't work Joe. Danny doesn't like me like that. He won't sleep with me." Believe me, I've tried.

"You're a clever girl, Regina. You'll figure something out."

"Why do you want to do this Joe? He seems to really like her."

"I don't care about what Danny wants. I'm trying to look out for him. He'll thank me in the end."

"What if he doesn't?"

"He will Regina, don't worry. And I'll be so thankful to you for pulling this off."

That makes Regina light up with anticipation. She's hoping he will break up with Phoebe and make her his girlfriend. Joe knows Regina wants nothing more than to make their relationship official.

Silly girl, Joe thinks. I'm never going to bring our relationship out in the open. I could never bring you home to my parents. What would people think?

Joe is mentally moving pieces in his twisted little game.

Sarita leaves to go and meet up with her ally in her twisted little scheme. She loves that she's the mastermind behind it all. The fact that she has bullied and manipulated people into doing what she wants, excites her. Just like Joe, she does not care who gets hurt in the process. She won't be the only one losing. Her bosom buddy gets into her car. She really feel like she's causing major chaos by meeting with him secretly.

"So how'd it go?'

"Regina agreed to do it."

"Does she know that I'm involved?"

"No."

"Good. So what did you ask her to do?"

"I told her to seduce Danny and to get it on camera."

"I don't want Regina to sleep with Danny, Joe. I didn't agree to that."

"She probably won't sleep with him. More than likely she'll just blow him."

"That's just as bad!"

"Well, what do you want me to do Sarita? Why don't you just seduce him yourself? We all know how bad you want him."

"Well, we might not have to go that route. I have two other pawns that should work out."

"What other pawns?"

Sarita can't tell Joe that one of them is Cole. She's gonna let that secret out only when necessary.

"Well Rico is one. Lacey is in his Calculus class. He's gonna let her know that Danny asking her out was just a dare. And I can't tell you the other one, but it's legit. I'm pretty sure she'll be ignoring and avoiding Danny in no time."

"Yeah, she seems like a no bullshit type of girl."

"I still can't believe he asked her out. What the fuck is he thinking anyway?"

"She actually is pretty though, or she will be once she loses a few pounds."

Sarita looks at Joe like he just cussed in church.

"You think she's pretty?"

"If she loses weight, she'd be hot."

"Fuck you, Joe!"

"Well you asked. Besides, we have to focus on her and Danny."

"Yeah. They cannot become a couple. I won't allow it."

"I'm not allowing it either. Danny is making the whole team look bad by asking her out. I don't know what's gotten in to him."

"Well, we have to stop this before Danny gets in to Lacey. I won't let her be his first."

"I'll be in touch." Joe says as he exits Sarita's car.
