A/N: Hello guys! It's that time of year again, it's almost Christmas but it's also Finals time. I wish you all the best of luck!

I hope you all are staying warm out there!

I want to thank my beta Harmony Valenka Smith for the help and the much needed patience and guidance. Thank you, I appreciate the help!

And of course I want to thank you lovely readers for the favorites/follows/reviews/everything. I appreciate it so much!

Enjoy.

Principal Fudd's office was cramped and smelled of peanut butter for some reason. However, that didn't stop Principal Fudd from being Daffy's favorite. He always liked the older man with the balding head and kind eyes. Principal Fudd was a quiet, soft-spoken man who could be stern when he wanted to, but he was also incredibly understanding.

And thankfully Bugs felt the same. He seemed at ease once they got to the office door and actually managed to intertwine his fingers with Daffy's. Coach Sam had left with Jimmy to get him into a warmer change of clothes.

Now, as they sat in front of the older man, with Jimmy sitting off to the side and Coach Sam explaining the situation, or rather, yelling his poor assumption of what happened at Principal Fudd, both Bugs and Daffy wished they could be somewhere else.

"And another thing -"

"That's enough Coach Sam, I think I got it."

"But, with all due respect Sir -"

"I said that's enough!" Principal Fudd rubbed his tired eyes and gave the Coach an exasperated look, silencing the younger man immediately. "Now, Bryce. Is it true that you dumped poor Jimmy here into the school pool?"

Bugs nodded. "Yes, but I was only stopping him from hurting Daffy." He explained.

"Who's Daffy?" The Principal asked, raising an eyebrow, then, "Oh! You mean Drew?"

Bugs nodded again.

"Is this true Drew?"

"Yes. Bugs...ugh Bryce was only stopping me from getting thrown into the pool myself."

"Right. Johnson what do you have to say for yourself?"

Jimmy was silent. Bugs pinned angry blue eyes on him and the coward actually shivered. When he finally spoke his voice was shaky and nervous. "I - I made a mistake. I'm sorry."

Principal Fudd frowned. "This is ridiculous. You all should be in your classes, not causing havoc in my school!..Jimmy you're on suspension for two days. This isn't the first time you've bullied someone. Drew you're lucky you had Bryce here to stop him and as for you Bryce, you caused a lot of damage."

"I'll pay for everything. I promise."

Principal Fudd sighed. "I'm afraid it's not that easy. You have to learn that you can't buy your way out of problems. I'm taking away your janitor privileges."

Both Bugs and Daffy exchanged panicked looks.

"Temporarily. It's just temporary. Until you've learned your lesson. I'm sure Tom will just have to find someone else for now."

Bugs sighed in relief; it wasn't the greatest, but it was better.

"And as for you Drew, you're a clean slate. Seeing that you were just along for the ride. I'll let you slide...this time."

"Thank you." Daffy said, looking over at Bugs whose entire face was unreadable.

"You can go now."

As Bugs and Daffy left the office, having to leave Jimmy behind because the Principal wanted to talk to him some more about his suspension, they could hear Coach Sam muttering about letting them get away too easy.

"So...what happens now?"

Bugs raked a nervous hand through his hair. "Now, I have to explain this to Ace and my parents."

Daffy leaned up to touch Bugs cheek, he waited until Bugs worried eyes met his calm ones. "We'll get through this. Don't worry."

Bugs parents were sympathetic and figured that losing his janitor privileges was more than enough punishment. Daffy was relieved when he found out that they didn't punish him, but Bugs was still pretty pissed at the circumstances.

Their relationship seemed to be going strong though they were still taking their time. Daffy wasn't sure how to get Bugs out of his funk, seeing as the last and only person he ever dated was out of pity (they became friends after though), Daffy was new to this whole thing. But he tried his best and Bugs was trying too, but he was still down.

He made it clear to Daffy that he appreciated his efforts by kissing him on his forehead or grabbing his hand and squeezing it even when they were in public. However, he still seemed to be feeling bad.

And then the Ellington sisters came to town.

It was just an average, wet and rainy day in Shadow Oaks and Daffy was over at Bugs' house, playing Uno with him and Ace. Then, the phone rang. Ace went to answer it, it seemed to be a lengthy phone call, but once he hung up, he didn't seem pleased.

Before either Bugs or Daffy could ask him what was wrong, Ace gave Bugs a tentative look before saying, "The Ellington sisters are moving here."

Bugs put his cards down, Daffy watched as they scattered across the table. He had a bad feeling in his gut, who were the Ellington sisters and why didn't the Chandlers like them?

As if reading his mind, Bugs explained, "They're just some annoying girls who are spoiled rotten. We can't really stand them. But for some reason are parents always force us to interact with them. I can see it now Ace, we may have to show them around."

"Maybe they won't be so bad." Daffy urged Bugs. "It would probably make you feel better to hang out with people from your childhood."

Bugs smiled tenderly at him. "I really doubt it Daffy, they aren't normal."

Daffy wrinkled his nose and gave Bugs a playful punch on the arm. "You're not normal, but I still like you."

That earned him a gentle kiss on the cheek from Bugs.

Ace rolled his eyes at them. "Get a room you two." But he smirked, collecting the cards and shuffling them for the next game.

Daffy finally met the sisters at a Chandler party when Bugs' and Ace's parents were out of town, one fateful Saturday night.

Anna came and to both Bugs and Daffy's surprise, she and Ace spent most of the night flirting.

As Bugs was arguing with Zack, one of his garage band members, comparing Led Zeppelin and Rush and both making fairly good points as far as Daffy was concerned, Bugs cellphone rang.

His face twisted into a displeased grimace as he looked down at the number. He gave Daffy a quick kiss before saluting him and Zack, and disappeared to a quieter place.

Daffy sipped his punch and talked with Zack about cars, not that Daffy knew a lot about cars, but he did watch his father fix one from ruin once. He told an impressed Zack this who nodded appraisingly.

When Anna came to his side, she looked flushed and was trying to act like it wasn't obvious that she had been making out with Ace. And any other time he would have teased her and then celebrated with her about her crush no longer being unrequited, but it was the worried look on her face that made Daffy halt his teasing to follow her and see what it was that had gotten her so upset.

And there it was standing outside, talking to the Chandlers were two of the most beautiful girls both he and Anna had ever seen.

Bugs called Daffy as soon as he saw him peeking from the front porch. "Melanie, Seraphina, I'd like to introduce you to my boyfriend."

Daffy dragged Anna with him and as soon as Ace saw her he pulled her close, taking off his letterman and placing it around her arms.

Daffy smiled at his boyfriend who slung an arm around Daffy's waist and pulled him close as well. He gave a friendly wave to the girls. "I'm guessing that you must be the Ellington sisters."

They nodded in unison. "My name's Melanie." The one with the purple streaks in her black hair announced.

"And my name is Seraphina." The one with the vampire red hair exclaimed.

"Are you girls enjoying yourselves?" Anna inquired, giving them a genuine smile.

"Well, the rain is a bit annoying." Melanie complained, "Do you remember when we used to see who could stay outside the longest without getting cold Bugs?" There was a twinkle in her eye when she looked Bugs' way that Daffy wished he didn't see.

He looked up at Bugs who shrugged. "Yes, Melanie and I also remember you always losing."

She shrugged as well. "You can't win 'em all."

"So, do you guys want to play Ping Pong inside or something? Bugs and I can't really leave our party guests unattended." Ace pointed out.

The sisters nodded and soon, they were all playing in the Chandler's game room where along with a Ping Pong table, there was Pac-Man and other arcade games and also some other game consoles, some that Daffy had never even heard of before.

Surprisingly, he ended up winning the Ping Pong match. When Bugs, Anna, Ace and the Ellington sisters asked him his game plan, he merely touched his temple and repeated "Strategy."

Unfortunately, throughout the night, Melanie's attempts at flirting with Bugs became less and less subtle. And it didn't matter how many times Bugs proved to be uninterested, it still caused a sickening feeling in Daffy's stomach. It didn't help that the twin girls looked like supermodels, what with their glorious hair, tall curvy bodies and perfectly straight teeth, it seemed as if they complemented the Chandlers quite well.

But still he reassured himself that he had nothing to worry about...except when he did...

A/N: Hmm, I don't think Daffy likes Melanie much, but I'm thinking he should trust his instincts. Maybe. :)

I might post another chapter before Christmas, or at least I'll try to!

Stay safe, hope you enjoyed the chapter!
