"So I guess I'm coming home for the summer," Kat said as she talked on the phone with Bree.

"That's great. You and I can go find Ben and Jerry. Jerry works at Burger King…big surprise huh? BK…hee hee," Bree said from the other line.

Kat gazed out the window at the view of France. She had moved there when her father's job was transferred. He was the mayor in their hometown and did so well that he was transferred to France where he now worked some way with the law.

"Miss Hodzenberry!" the nurse's voice rang down the hall.

"Hang on Bree,…what!"

"Come down and eat your lunch."

Kat sighed, "I'm not hungry!"

"If you don't come down this moment, I will tell your father. He will be furious when he finds out you haven't eaten. You are the only female in his life since your mother died and he won't like losing you too. Stupid child. If they hadn't had her, Mrs. Hodzenbury would still be alive," Kat heard the nurse ramble on as she walked away.

She felt the tears swell up in her eyes, I can't wait to get away from here…

"Kat?" Bree asked from the phone now lying on the floor.

Kat picked it up, "Yea."

"You okay?"

"I'm fine…"

"If you need anything, just call." Bree hung up the phone and laid back down.

She slipped on her sunglasses, and continued to work on her tan when she heard a splash in her pool.

She looked up.

No one.

Bree laid back down but soon felt herself being splashed by water.

She looked up to see Ben.

"How'd you get in here!! Get out! OUT!"

Ben ran out of the gate swinging it open only to slam back.

Jerry sat in a booth talking to Ben during his break time, "So you actually got up the guts to spy."

"Yep. Kat is coming back for the summer…this is my chance…"

Jerry laughed and crammed more fries in his mouth, "That's what you always say…"

"This is…I will have Kat…she will love me...besides, I have a plan."

Once again Jerry laughed. But this time, he was drinking his drink…which was now on his shirt, the table, and Ben.

Kat sat the last of her luggage at the door and sank to the floor Oh Ben…Jerry…if only you knew how much I appreciate your stupidity.

A knock one the door made her jump up. She straightened out her dress and opened it sweetly. The person standing there made her frown, "What do you want."

The guy smiled at her. He ran a hand through his black hair.

Kat rolled her eyes, "Boy aren't you the man."

"Yea. I'm the man." His deep brown eyes looked her over and then looked at the luggage, "Where ya goin?"

"Away," she said and picked up a few suit cases and pushed by him.

He grabbed her arms and pulled her to him, "You can't resist me so easily."

Kat made a face of disgust, "Didn't your mom ever tell you to use a tic tac?"

He kissed her roughly on the forhead and grabbed her suit cases, "Didn't your mom ever tell you to treat your chaperones with respect?"

Kat's eyes flashed red as her fist nailed into his nose, "Don't you dare bring up my mother again and what is this crap about you being my chaperone?"

"Your dad has assigned me and my pal to take you safetly home."

"You're kidding me," she sighed as she grabbed the remaining bags and ran after him down the road to the limo.

Bree ran throughout her room searching frantically, "Where is it…" she rushed from her bed to the closet to the shelves and into the living room.

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

"What honey."

"Have you seen a red notebook lying around here any where?"

"No why is it important."

"I'll live…it's just that…Kat's coming down and it's got a bunch of our memories in it." She ran back into her room, grabbed her keys and jumped into the car.

At the store, she grabbed a notebook and drove to Burger King.

"Welcome to Booger King, how may I help you?"

"I'd like a cherry slush."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"We have to make sure that our customers are satisfied so how about a free large fry?"

Bree gasped and giggled, "Sure!"

"Will that be all?"

"Yes."

"That'll be $20. Drive to the window."

Bree shook her head, "What kind of idiots do they have working here…"

When she pulled up to the window, she saw Jerry with his hat over his eyes.

He reached out the window, "Sorry, the total rung up wrong…it'll be," he looked up at her and turned red, "Oh, Bree, it's you…I…uh…hi." He said making his voice turn manly.

"Hi…"

"It's free for you baby," he said putting his hand on her chin, sighing and then closing the window.

Bree burst out in an uncontrollably fit of laughter and put her money back into her purse.

The car behind her beeped and she drove up to the next window, got her food, and drove off.

Kat shut her eyes as she laid on the bed in the private airplane. Alone at last…

Just as she was dozing off, she felt the water bed move.

She was half asleep… "Brendan…it's too early…don't wake me up now," she moaned.

"It's not Brendan Fraser honey but someone much better," an all too familiar voice whispered and she felt hot lips on hers.

Kat jumped up and screamed. She ran to the bathroom and turned to mouth wash upside down in her mouth. She spit it out and used more. Her sickness turned to anger. She stomped back into her bedroom to see Marc in his boxers, "I was trying to sleep."

"Yes I know. I thought I'd keep you company."

"Well…I don't think so."

She grabbed him by his hair and dragged him to the door.

"OW! Don't touch the merchandise babe."

She pulled it even harder and threw him out, "And don't EVER call me babe."

Marc stood up and checked out his black hair in the mirror, "Lookin good."

His friend, James, laughed at him, "Dude, you are a sight…looks aren't everything ya know."

"Well, if our plan is to work, I'll have to look good upon arrival just in case Bree is there."

Bree stood at the airport and awaited Kat's return. By her side, Ben stood with flowers and candy and Jerry giggled quietly to himself.

She watched Kat walk down the plane stairs and two hunks follow quietly behind her.

Bree raced up to greet her.

They hugged tightly until Ben pushed in between them, "Kat, I've missed you." He handed her the flowers and candy and kissed her hand.

Kat pulled her hand away and rubbed it on her skirt, "Well whatever."

Bree pulled her aside as Marc and James introduced themselves to Ben and Jerry, "Whose the hunk?"

"Which one?"

"The one with the black hair and gorgeous eyes. He's so hot."

"Oh he's hot alright…too hot to handle…" Kat rolled her eyes, "that's Marc. He thinks he's all that…you don't have a chance for him to truly like you unless you are easy but in that case, he'd only be using you so I wouldn't…" she would've finished her sentence but Bree was already rushing to him to get introduced.

Kat followed along. She could've sworn that she heard Ben tell Marc to keep his hands off her…You tell him Ben…

Arriving next to Bree, she saw Bree give her the looke

"Bree, this is the loser squad," she introduced.

"Hey…" James squealed.

"Heh…ya well…he's not too bad." Kat giggled.

Marc stepped forward, "Hey Bree…I've heard a lot about you," at this, he glanced at Kat and Kat's eyes became wild but soon, she gave him the 'I hate you' look, "We should talk sometime…"

"How bout now?" Bree pipped up…Ben and Jerry could drive us all to my house. Just throw the stuff in Ben's trunk."

At Bree's house:

Bree didn't know how she got there but she and Marc were sitting infront of her fire place.

"So…" she fumbled.

"So…" his voice was low when he said this and Bree had to look away from his gaze to stop herself from melting.

"Bree…you and Kat close?"

"Uh…huh…" she felt herself fall under his spell. No, Bree snap out of it…he's probably got a girlfriend…

"Are you okay?"

"Uh…huh…"

"You seem kind of…distance."

"Uh…huh…"

Marc looked behind him to make sure no one was at the door. He took Bree's chin in his hand and pulled her toward him slowly. He kissed her sweetly.

Kat ran through the house from Ben who was chasing her down with candles in hand. He was insisting they light them in the bed room, cut off the lights and see if they ended up kissing. Jerry was chasing Ben because they were his candles and he was saving them for Bree. She stopped at the door of the living room. Ben stopped beside her and Jerry stopped beside him.

"You can't kiss her!" Kat and Jerry shouted at the same time as they saw Bree and Marc kissing.

Marc pulled back, "And why not?"

Jerry stomped forward, "You get your hands off her you low down dirty rat…you…scumbag…"

Marc stood up and grabbed Jerry by the shirt, "You wanna say that again?"

Jerry looked around helplessly as Ben raced forward, "Put him down!"

Marc threw Jerry on the ground and punched Ben. He then left the room.

Kat raced to the pile of bodies, "Oh…are you guys okay?"

Ben looked up at Kat and laid his head on her knee, "It hurts."

"Where?"

"Here." Ben pointed to his nose.

Kat kissed his nose sweetly.

Ben blushed tremendously and Jerry laughed, "Ben…it Kat giving you the horn…:"

"NO!" Ben snapped.

Bree looked around at the screen, "Kat…why did he do that?"

"Temper?"

Bree jumped up and raced out after him.

"And here…" Ben whispered wetting his lips.

Kat turned toward him, "Hm? Huh Ben?"

Ben pointed to his lips, "Here." He shut his eyes and puckered up his lips.

"Sure it hurts…" Kat smiled and stood up and turned to the door.

"Wanna go for a walk?" James asked.

"Sure."

" I just can't stand my life anymore! I might as well be a snob!" Kat cried into James's arms.

"I don't think that Marc means to be that mean."

"He doesn't know what I go through. My mother died while giving birth to me and my nurse blames it on me. My father is too busy with his work that he sends Marc to watch over me. He won't even listen when I try to tell him that I am unhappy with Marc."

"I am so sorry…look. He doesn't like Bree and I am sure you know that."

Kat looked at him, "What?"

Bree and Marc sat out on the grass talking…among other things. Marc leaned in to kiss her but Bree pulled away, "Do you hear that?"

"No," he said simply and leaned back to her.

"It sounds like someone crying," Bree got up and listened at the bushes…she heard two people talking.

"What?" the girl asked.

"He is just using Bree to get back at you for not liking him."

"Oh James that is that terrible…"

Bree gasped, "That is Kat and James." She said to Marc and picked up her lemonade.

"Oh really?"

"Yea," she said, jumped at him and threw her drink on him, "You jerk. You can't tear me from my best friends that easily!"

"I'll kill James."

Bree stomped off.

The next day, James and an angry Marc were sent home to France.

"Bye Marc honey!" Kat laughed as she waved goodbye to the plane.

"Flight 16. Last call"

Bree hugged Kat, Ben, and Jerry and said her goodbyes. She borded the plane and left.

During the next month, Kat stayed with Ben and Jerry to help them decorate Ben's new summer home.

Meanwhile in California:

"Oh Romeo Romeo where for art thou Romeo!" Bree said and continued her performance for the judges hoping that she was get picked to play Juliet in the play.

At the posting, she did get the part.

"Hello my Juliet," she heard a British voice behind her

"Huh?"

"I'm Abs, your Romeo."

Over a period of time, Kat's father gained more and more money. They were known everywhere. Bree and Abs made a great couple. Ben laid around trying decide what to do and began changing…he only wore black. Could our Ben be going Goth? Jerry continued to work at Burger King and found that he wanted to be German.

France:

Kat lept into the air hoping to hit the tennis ball when she fell into the pool. She couldn't get her breath and didn't know which way was up. She inhaled water and sunk.

When she opened her eyes, she looked into the beautiful blue eyes of a guy.

"You're awake…"

Kat groaned and tried to sit up, She felt his strong arms help her and she lay her head on her shoulder, "Did you save me?"

"Yea. You're that rich Hodzenberry right?"

"Yes…I think."

He smiled, "My father works with yours. I'm Dan"
