"Yes! Saturday morning cartoons!" She yelled.

Ever since Monica was a little girl, she tried very hard never to miss the Saturday morning cartoons. She believed that they were guarenteed to make your weekends purfect. As she was watching 'Doug', the phone rang.

"Hello!" She said.

"Like...Oh My GAWD! Monica? Is that you?" Monica immediatly recognized the voice. It was Nicole.

"Uh..yeah! Hi Nicole, what's up?" Monica said.

"Ok! I am going out tonight with that majorly hot, majorly babe-o-licous, Nick Carter!" Nicole yelled into the phone.

"Wow! You lucky girl, you." Monica said. She didn't sound to interested.

"Like, I know! Ok, what am I going to wear? Cuz you know, you and I are like, the two totally coolest girls in the school! I need your help!" Nicole said in her ditzy, airheaded voice.

"Well, why don't you just wear what you would normally wear on a date?" Monica said.

"Hmm.....something short and revealing?" Nicole said.

"Yeah! Why not? Go for it." Monica said.

"Thanks Monica! See, I knew you were good for something." Nicole said in a sarcastic tone.

Nicole hung up the phone right after she had said that to Monica. Monica couldn't believe how much Nicole walked all over her. She truly hoped Nick would see through Nicole, see that she is all an act. But, she didn't care. She thought Nick was a cool guy, she wanted to hang with him more, but just as friends. Or at least that is what she thought! **********************************************************************

Later on that evening, Nick searched his room for his hat. He was going on the date with Nicole, but he wasn't happy about it. Brian thought it was dumb of him to go, especially if he didn't even have an interest in the girl. But Nick told him how he kind of said yes without realizing it.

"I can't believe you said 'Yes' without even knowing!" Brian said while he laughed.

"It's possible. Honestly, I was distracted! I didn't even know my head was shaking." Nick said as he placed his hat on his head.

"Sure, buddy! What-ever?" Brian said.

"Well listen, I'll be back early! I am not expecting this to last any longer then two hours." Nick said.

"Ok, Nick! Be nice." Brian said.

"Oh, Bri, wait! You know that girl I met in school, Monica? Well, she has an older cousin named Steffany. I was thinking maybe you would want to meet her?" Nick said.

"I don't know Nick! I am not really into the whole blind date thing." Brian said.

"Ok! Well, just think about it!" Nick said.

He had borrowed Lonnie's jeep for the night. He figured he wouldn't be recognized, they were going to get a pizza, that was it. He arrived at the pizza place to see Nicole sitting with a whole bunch of her 'clique'. Nick rolled his eyes, and walked over to her.

"Ohhh! Hi Nicky!" Nicole said. She practically jumped on top of him, throwing her breasts in his face.

"Hi, Nicole!" He said.

She grabbed his arm and literally shoved him into a booth. She sat on the opposite side. Nick couldn't help but notice all of the cleavage that was spilling out of her, once again 'not so buttoned up shirt'. But, he didn't like it! She was really not his type. **********************************************************************

Monica and Steffany decided to have a 'girls night'. They had both ordered pizza, and they rented 'While Your Were Sleeping'. It was Steffany's favorite movie. When they finished off the large cheeze pizza, they were both still in the pig out mood.

"I could go for Ice Cream!" Monica said.

"Oh Yeah! With hot fudge, and sprinkles, whippedcream, and a cherry!" Steffany said.

Monica nodded her head in agreement. "I'll go get some!" Monica said. Steffany went to throw her the keys to her Honda, but Monica threw them back.

"Nah! I'm gonna walk. Burn off all the pizza!" Monica said.

"Are you sure? It's going to be dark soon." Steffany said.

"Yeah, I'm sure! I'll be fine." Monica said.

She pulled on her black pea-coat, and walked down the street. The store wasn't that far away, only about five minutes. The pizza place was right across the street. She went into the store and bought all of her ingrediants for the sundea feast. **********************************************************************

Nick wasn't having that great of a time. He tried his best, though. After they had eated their pizza, and after Nick had 'tried' to have an exstensive conversation with Nicole, he found that it just wasn't working. He looked at his watch and it was a little after eight. He felt something on his leg. When he looked down he saw a hand. Nicole's hand! He quickly removed her hand.

"Nicole! I'm sorry, this just isn't working out!" Nick said.

"Whaaaaaaat!" She whined.

"I mean, you and I. We are two different people! Way, different! I'm sorry." Nick said. He stood up and left the booth.

"NICKY!" She screamed. **********************************************************************

As Monica walked out of the store, she wasn't aware of the older men that had been staring at her the whole time. She stepped out into the parking lot, and then felt a hand grab her.

"GET OFF!" She screamed.

The man grabbed both of her hands behind her back. He wrestled with her for a while, trying to knock her to the ground. He finally did. He knocked her to the ground and ripped apart her shirt. Monica screamed out, but know one was around. She kicked and screamed, trying to get out of his hold. He slapped her across the face. Monica cried out in pain. She kicked him in the groin, and he loosend his grip. She finally regained her composure and sat up, she began running. His hand grabbed onto her ankle, she kicked him away and ran across the street towards the pizza place screaming.

"HELP ME!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!" Monica screamed.

Just as Nick was walking out, he heard the screams of a girl in trouble. He quickly ran towards the girl, he didn't recognize her because her shirt was ripped and her face tear stricken. He saw that it was Monica.

"Oh my god! Monica?" Nick yelled. He grabbed her by the arms.

"Nick! Please, help me!" She screamed.

Nick told her to get inside the jeep, and not to get out untill he told her too. The man was on the ground in pain from when Monica kicked him in the groin. Nick ran over to the man. He stood over him, and looked him in the eye. As soon as the man tried to stand up, Nick punched him in the nose.

"You little prick! You broke my nose!" He said. Blood was coming from his nose.

"Gee...that's to bad!" Nick said. He gave the guy one more hard punch, knocking him down to the ground again. Nick quickly ran into the jeep to attend to Monica.

Monica scrunched herself up into a ball in the passenger seat. She was crying really hard, and her body was trembling. She was freezing, her shirt had been ripped almost all the way open. Nick quickly pulled her into a hug.

"Shh....Monica, it's ok! He's not going to hurt you anymore! Ok?" Nick said. He slowly rocked her back and forth.

"What if you weren't here? Nick, thank you so much!" Monica said.

Nick slowly pulled away from Monica. He looked in her eyes, and saw that she was smiling slightly. He smiled back at her. He pulled out of the parking lot and brought Monica back to his place.

"Your taking me to your place?" Monica asked.

"Yeah...I want to put ice on your cheek before it get's any worse." Nick said.

"Well, ok!" Monica said softly.

"And then, when your better, you can call your cousin. You can tell her what happened, and have her come get you." Nick said. **********************************************************************

Nick brought Monica into his bathroom. He was surprised to see that Brian wasn't home. Monica sat alone in the bathroom untill Nick came back with the first aid kit.

"Your knee? It's bleeding." Nick said. He bent down to her knee and flexed it out towards him.

"sssss! I...Know!" Monica said while hissing from the pain.

Nick grabbed some anti-bacterial cream. He carefully applied the cream on her cut, and then topped it with a band-aid. Monica tucked her thick hair behind her ears, and waited for the stinging to stop.

"Jeez! That stiiiings!" Monica said.

"Stop with the crying, you baby!" Nick said jokingly.

Monica laughed lightly. "I'm sorry. Your right, I am so stupid!" Monica said.

Nick bent down in front of her. He turned her face to him, so he looked into her eyes. Nick shook his head slowly.

"No...Monica! Don't say that! Your lucky your alright, I'm glad I was at the right place at the right time." Nick said.

Monica began to cry. She knew Nick was right. She could have been seriosly hurt. Nick whiped her tears away, and Monica gently touched her tender cheek.

"Do you have that ice?" Monica asked quietly.

"Yeah, here! Place this on your cheek." Nick said.

His hand was on top of Monica's as she placed it on her cheek. She slowly stood up, and followed him into the living room. She sat on the couch, and soon fell asleep.
