A month after the Halloween party, the gang were a little more closer with each other. They had free period together so Chase decided to take Skye on a walk through the school yard. No one was their yet, not even their friends so they were all alone.

"This is really nice. We're finally all alone." Skye said as she linked arms with Chase.

Chase smiled "You took the words right out of my mouth buttercup. We haven't really been alone like this since the party."

"Yeah, we have great friends." Skye giggled with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.

Chase felt his phone vibrate and took it out "I gotta take this, I'll be back."

Chase pecked Skye's cheek and ran a short distant far from her. He clicked the answer button and put it close to his ear.

"What's up?" Chase asked

"Hey Chase. Did you ask her yet?" Marshall's voice said from the other line.

"No, but-"

"Just ask her Chase! What's the big deal!" Everest screamed

"Eve baby, your gonna blow my ear out." Marshall chuckled "But she does have a point."

"Did you put me on speaker Marsh?" Chase asked, a little irritated.

"Yes, yes he did." The whole gang except Skye said

"Sorry bud, Eve wouldn't leave me alone about it. Here, I'll put you off of speaker." There was a pause before Marshall talked again "So why are you so nervous?"

"Me? Nervous? I'm not nervous." Chase chuckled nervously

"Chase, I've been your best friend for how many years?"

"14 years..." Chase sighed

"Yeah so don't even try. Now, tell me what's the matter." Marshall said in a baby voice like how mothers talk to baby's.

Chase blushed "Marshall!"

Marshall laughed but Chase continued "I'm just a little nervous if your asking. What if she says no? I haven't even met her parents yet Marsh! What if she's to busy?"

"Chase, your more than just a little nervous. And stop it with the 'what if' excuse. Your the toughest, bravest guy I know. You've even been on dangerous patrols with your dad, that I strictly told you not to go on by the way, but you still do it. Asking Skye out on your first date will be easy." Marshall said sternly but softened up "Skye loves you to much to say no."

Chase took a deep breath "Your right, thanks Marshall."

"No prob buddy. Now go get her!" Marshall cheered.

Chase smiled and hung up the phone. He turned around and jogged back to his loving girlfriend who was waiting patiently.

"Sorry about that." Chase smiled sheepishly.

"Who was that?" Skye asked

"Oh, just the guys annoying the crap out of me. Nothing to worry about." Chase chuckled nervously.

Skye shrugged it off and they continued their peaceful walk. They didn't even realized how how or long they were walking until Chase bumped his head on the flag pole.

"Woah. I don't think I've ever been up here before." Skye said in awe.

The flag pole was on top of a hill, so you could see the whole school. The wind picked up again when Chase looked at Skye. Her hair was blowing back and the sun sparkled in her glittery pink eyes.

Chase reached his head to cup her cheek and turned her head so they were facing each other. Chase smiled, with a smile blush. Skye giggled and smiled back.

"You look more beautiful than you do everyday right now." Chase whispered

Skye giggled again "Aw, Chase. Your looking pretty cute too right now."

"Hey, listen. This weekend is the new movie of Snowflakes of fire. Wanna go?" Chase said, a little nervous.

"Movie date? Perfect. And our anniversary is this Friday too so it'll be awesome." Skye squealed

Chase's eye twitched but his smile brighten "That's great! I'll see you think whole weekend."

Skye hugged Chase, which he returned, and kissed his ear "This is going to be the best weekend ever! I'm going to tell Everest! Bye!"

Skye released from the hug and skipped down the hill and out of Chase's sight. Once Chase made sure Skye was gone, he screamed.

*TimeSkip*

Marshall slammed his locker and came face to face with Rocky. He blinked and jumped back with a scream.

"Rocky! Don't scare the crap out of me!" Marshall yelled, calming down slightly.

"Sorry about that Marsh." Rocky giggled "But have you seen Chase? He missed math with me."

"That's weird. Chase never misses a class." Marshall said as the two started walking down the hall.

"I know. Do you think Skye rejected his date?" Rocky asked in concern.

Before Marshall could answer, he was grabbed by the shoulders and turned around. He looked up and saw a distressed Chase staring down at him.

"Chase! Where have you-"

"I need your help!" Chase shook Marshall by the shoulders as he spoke "I forgot me and Skye's anniversary was Friday and now I have two dates to plan! Help me!"

Rocky put a hand on Chase's shoulder, stopping him from shaking Marshall "Chase, I think you need to stop shaking Marshall before he pukes."

Chase looked at Marshall and saw the dizziness he caused. The poor boy looked like he was about to have a show and tell on his lunch. Chase let go of his best friend and chuckled nervously.

"Hehe, sorry about that Marsh." Chase said softly.

"No...problem." Marshall hiccuped "And I'll help, but we're going to need to start tomorrow."

"Why tomorrow?" Rocky and Chase asked.

Marshall's phone buzzed, alerting the group. He took it out and his face brighten like the sun, much to Rocky and Chase's confusion.

"Its a surprise. I got to go, I'll see you both in last class." Marshall said and ran down the rest of the hall with the phone against his ear.

"What was that about?" Rocky said, looking at Chase who looked back.

"I don't know but we should leave it to him. I'm sure everything is fine." Chase said

The bell rung and the two went their separate ways. Rocky was about to turn the corner but he bumped into someone obviously taller than him.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I wasn't- oh no." Rocky gulped when he saw who it was.

It was Joseph and his friends.

"Well look who it is. The little fag. Where's your faggot boyfriend to protect your ass?" Joseph snickered.

Rocky looked away, playing with the rim of his shirt. Joseph stepped closer and growled.

"So, pretty boy isn't going to say anything huh? Looks like we'll just have to make him speak." Joseph taunted

"W-Wait! You can't beat me up out in the open!" Rocky said

"Who said anything about beating you up? We're just going to have a nice conversation." Joseph snickered

"I never noticed he looked so...ugly. I mean, what's with the gray hair? Mom was born an old hag?" One of the boys said, making the whole group but Rocky laugh.

"And look at his eyes? I've seen so much better." Another boy said

"He even dresses like a fag. Might wanna stay away from him boys." Joseph chuckled

Rocky was close to having a breakdown, bitting his bottom lip hard. Joseph and his friends saw this and laughed, walking away. When they were gone, Rocky shot rocketed out his phone, sent a text to the group, and ran out the school.

-SCENE SWITCH-

The bell rung again, mention in it was free period. The gang ran to find each other. So far it was Chase, Skye, Zuma, Everest, and Rubble.

"Where the hell awe Lywa and Mawshall?" Zuma said angrily

"We're here!" Lyra scream, running with her cousin "We had to stay after class."

"We have no time to chit chat, let's go!" Everest said and dragged Marshall out the door.

Everyone ran to the school court yard. They all received a text right after class from Rocky to meet him by the benches. Zuma was the first to get there, but when he did he gasped, along with everyone else. Rocky was sitting on the bench, his knees to his chest and his eyes are bloodshot and teary.

"Oh baby." Zuma said, running up to Rocky and taking him in his arms "I'm hewe, I'm hewe. Please don't cwy."

Rocky clutched on Zuma like his life depended on it. He buried his head in his boyfriend's chest and sobbed loudly. The gang gathered around the two, watching silently.

"Z-Z-Zuma...I-I am so sorry I'm not good enough." Rocky cried

"What awe you talking about Wocky? You awe more than good enough." Zuma said, kissing Rocky's head while stroking his back.

That's when something came to Zuma mind "Did someone say something to huwt you?"

Rocky paused crying "Umm...w-well I-I..."

"They did, didn't they?" Everest chimed in

Rocky nodded, sniffing on Zuma shoulder. Zuma growled and held Rocky tightly.

"Tell me who, and I'll beat the living cwap out of them." Zuma said angrily.

"Zumy..." Rocky whispered

"Tell me Wocky." Zuma said softly

Rocky became hesitant but sighed "I-It was...Joseph and his friends. They were making fun of me..."

Marshall gasped "But I thought Principle Ryder sepended them for another month."

"Their back?!" exclaimed Chase

"Guys!" Skye yelled, silencing the two "Can't you see Rocky is paralyzed right now?! This is no time to panick."

"Right, sorry Rocky." They both said.

Zuma lifted Rocky's chin up so they were face to face "I'm going to pwotect you, walk you to youw evewy class and meet you aftew them to keep you save. I don't cawe if I'm late fow my own, I'm not letting you cwy like this evew again."

Rocky smiled for the first time since he encountered with Joseph. He lean in a little more so he and Zuma were in lip lock. Zuma cupped Rocky's cheek to pull him closer until Rocky pulled away.

"I like that idea." Rocky whispered

Zuma smiled "Good, and whatevew those dumbasses said then don't believe them. They pwobably think x and y awe still in the alphabet when we'we in math class."

Rocky giggled and hit Zuma in the shoulder "Idiot."

"I'm your idiot though."

"Yeah."

"Awwwwwww!" Skye, Everest, and Lyra screamed.

"I totally just recorded that moment." Chase chuckled

Zuma got up and glared playfully at Chase "Chase, give me that phone."

Chase waved his phone teasingly and stuck out his tongue "My friend, this is called blackmail."

Zuma started running after Chase. The gang laughed at the two chasing and running after each other. Marshall sat next to Rocky, looking at him with a small smile.

"Are you ok?" Marshall asked quietly

"Yeah, I feel much better." Rocky said, smiling widely.

"Great cuz I really need to tell you-"

"Hey you guys!" Rubble yelled, catching the attention of Rocky and Marshall "Zuma tackled Chase! Come and watch!"

Rocky smiled "Just a minute Rubble." and turned back to Marshall "Now what did you want to tell me?"

Marshall shook his head "Nothing, I'll tell you later."

Rocky nodded and ran towards Rubble and the others. Marshall smiled sadly and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. On the top it said 'Adoption' and Rocky's name was under it.
