Bikini Top

S1E1 (1)- Pilot: Bryan Errin is sitting in the car with his mother, Zoë. But, this isn’t a normal car ride. This is a ride to the Bikini Bottom Airport. He’s going to live with his father in Bikini Top, because his mother, Zoë, and her fiancé, Zack, are traveling the sea because Zack got a great job, that will require some moving. Unfortunately, Bryan wasn’t exactly looking forward to this move. He was a sort of shy person, who already had virtually no friends, and now he was going to have to try to adapt to a new high school in a new town. Plus, he would miss Bikini Bottom’s hot weather, since it was always overcast and rainy in Bikini Top.

Now, they were at the airport, and it was time for their sure-to-be-awkward farewell. Zoë said goodbye to her only son, teary-eyed. Bryan gave her a hug, and she didn’t let go for a bit. Finally, the hug was over, and Bryan was getting on the plane to WaterFalls, the big city right next to Bikini Top. Then, that flight was over, and there was Gordan, Bryan’s father.

There was no hug, just a very awkward hello from the both of them. Neither of them were that good at greetings. But, they went home, where Bryan saw a vomit-green boatmobile in the driveway. Gross. He asked whose it was, to which Gordan grinned and said “Yours.” Then, the car doesn’t look so ugly anymore, but still pretty damn ugly. Gordan then showed Bryan his room, it was his room from when he was a kid. He used to visit his father’s house all the time. The last time he’d been in this room he was eight years old. Now, he’s seventeen. It had been nine years since he’d been in his father’s house, or seen his father. His father noticed that he was deep in thought, so he left. That was one of the good things about his father. He wasn’t one of those annoying, nosy parents. He didn’t hover.

Then, the next day was a sure-to-be-humiliating event: The first day of school. That night, Bryan couldn’t sleep. Not only was he nervous, but the constant pitter-patter of rain was becoming more and more of a nuisance as the night progressed. But eventually, he managed to fall asleep, for two hours. Then, his alarm clock beeeeped and he got up, yawning, struggling to keep his eyes open. But, he managed to eat some Cheerios and get in his boatmobile, and drive to Bikini Top High School. The beginning of the day was… annoying.

A girl named Anna stops Bryan in the hallway. She’s his personal welcome-wagon. Her heart is in the right place, but she’s kind of annoying. And too friendly. Flirty? Nah. Bryan just brushes her off and continues his day.

Then, he meets Trey, a nicer guy. Though he does seem to have a problem closing his mouth. He and Trey have Trigonometry together, and Trey doesn’t show much talent in it. So, Bryan agrees to tutor him.

Then, in Chemistry, Bryan meets two others, Jake and Morgan. Apparently, they’re a couple. They’re the only normal people that Bryan has met all day, so he takes a liking to them.

He wonders why he’s so ‘popular’ at his new school. Then, it hits him. Bikini Top is a really small town. It has a population of 300. His father is the Chief of Police. So, as far as these kids were concerned, Bryan was the King of Bikini Top. It didn’t really bother him, he kind of enjoyed having friends to some extent. But he did enjoy his alone time. Finally, the first day of school was over. It wasn’t horrible, but he wasn’t looking forward to going back.

S1E2 (2)- Jex: Previously on Bikini Top... Bryan Errin moves to Bikini Top to live with his father, Gordan. After an awkward goodbye from his mother, and an awkard hello from his father, he moves in. He sees a vomit green boatmobile in the driveway, only to discover it's now his. The next day at school he makes some friends. Like Anna, and Trey, and the school's best couple, Jake and Morgan. He has a sub-par first day, overall, not eager for his second day.

The episode opens up showing Jake and Morgan making out on the couch. When Jake's hand starts going towards Morgan's shirt, trying to take it off, Morgan swats the hand away. Jake sighs. They'd been dating for how long? At least six months. They were seventeen. He still hadn't seen under her shirt, let alone get in bed with her. That... wasn't normal. At all. At least, that's what's going on in his head. In Morgan's head, she's wondering why he thought it would work. Morgan is the president of the Celibacy Club, so she's not going to be eager to go that far. Why would he think she was? It was... weird. Lately he'd been really obsessed with sex. It was strange.

(Theme plays)

Oh. Great. Time for Bryan to go to school. He stretches. His second day of school. And a Monday. Two horrible components for a bad day that together could make a horrible day. Being a pessimist sucks, especially when you're trying as hard as you can to look at the bright side in something, but you just can't. And everyone knows that the second day of school is a billion times worse than the first. And Mondays just plain suck. It was going to be such a lose-lose day. But he goes to school, and endures another painful day. Actually, not that painful. The weather was GREAT. Well, not GREAT. Just GREAT for Bikini Top. Other than that, uh... not so great. But, while at school, he talks with Trey, and finds out he's going to Bikini Top Beach with Jake, Morgan, and Anna. Bryan has nothing else to do, so he agrees to go with them. Bryan tells Gordan he'll be going, and Gordan is fine with it.

So, Bryan gets his swim trunks and drives to the beach, planning on meeting Trey and everyone else there. And, he sees them. He gets out of the car, smiling for the first time in the past three days. He finally felt like he had friends. Then, he tripped, and fell. Crap. He got up, blushing. Jake laughed, then Morgan playfully slapped him, as if telling him to stop. He immediately did, and he and Morgan's eyes locked, as if forming some sort of understanding. Anna smiled at him, then Bryan realized she was smiling deeply at Trey, and not him. Trey walked up to him, and started talking. And talking. And talking. Soon, an hour had passed. Bryan decided it was time to take a walk. While on the walk, he saw a girl with wavy black hair and brown eyes. He approaches her. For some reason she seems, familiar.... She says, "Bryan Errin, is that you?" and Bryan gapes. Who the hell is this chick? Then, they start talking, and memories are flooding in. Apparently, it was Temperance Drae. Her father, Randall, and Gordan were good friends. Back when Bryan frequently visited Bikini Top, the two of them used to play together. Temperance was sixteen. She didn't go to Bikini Top High, she went to some other school, because she belonged to an Indian tribe known as the Quiire. Seeing Temperance made Bikini Top seem much more... familiar. Familiar is... good. No, it's great. Bryan has felt so awkward since moving here, so it's great to feel so familiar.

Jake and Morgan are fighting. About? Sex. What else?

"Listen, Jake," Morgan said. "About last night... I'm sick of you trying to get to my bra. If you're just in this relationship for sex, we can end it right now."

"Mor," Jake began, using Morgan's 'pet name' that he used, Mor. "I'm not dating you for sex. Of course, having sex with you would totally rock and everything--"

"Quit."

"Quit what?"

"Quit saying 'sex.' Can we use a friendlier word? Let's say... jex."

"That's a 'w' away from..." Jake said playfully, with a sort of devilish smirk on his very handsome face.

"Just do it!" Morgan yelled, starting to become annoyed with her boyfriend.

"Okay, I'd love to have jex with you, but I'm dating you because you're... jexy. And because you're really sweet. And, I really like you, Morgan."

"Oh. You don't... love me?" she said, her voice cracking with each word.

"I don't know."

Morgan started tearing up. "You would only love me... if... I... had... jex with you?"

"No... it's not like that, Morgan."

"Then what is it like, Jake?" she said, fighting back tears.

"I--" he said.

"Just stop," Morgan said, tears now streaming down her face. "Stop." Soon she was walking away. Gone. Were they over? Jake was pretty sure. Was it for... forever? Morgan thought so.

S1E3 (3)- Trapped: Previously on Bikini Top... Jake and Morgan's relationship hits a rough patch when Jake really wants to have 'jex' with Morgan, but the Celibacy Club prez ain't too fond of the idea. Meanwhile, after a boring day at Bikini Top High, Bryan and his new friends head to the beach, where Bryan meets an old friend, Temperance. They catch up. Then, by the shore, Jake and Morgan have a talk about their relationship, which leads to their heartbreaking break-up.

Today is a new day. Today is a new day. Today is a new day. Morgan sighed. She could keep telling that to herself. Yeah Dr. Obvious, we know it's a new day. That doesn't mean your heart is any less broken than it has been all week. Ever since Morgan broke up with Jake, all she's felt is misery, misery, and more misery. It was annoying... just because she wouldn't give it up to him.... She was beginning to wonder if she should just walk up to her ex-boyfriend and just take her clothes off. Little did she know, she was kind of close to what was going to happen soon.

(Theme plays)

Saturday morning. Even a pessimist like Bryan had to love Saturday morning. And, when he woke up, there was a surprise. Sitting on the night stand next to him was a brand new laptop. There was a note on top.

"Bryan,
Had to go into work early. Sorry. But, one of my friends, Hank, from Hank's Electronics. Well, he heard you moved into town, and he was having this sort of clearance sale on these spiffy little laptops. I was gonna pay for it, but he insisted that he give it to me free. I objected at first... but hey, free laptop. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do at some points. And shuttin' up when someone offers you a brand spankin' new laptop for free, that's one of those points. Anyways, enjoy the new laptop.
From,
Dad
P.S.: You should probably check to see if your mother e-mailed you. It's been a week and a half, and you haven't talked to her yet. It's now or never."

He didn't know how Hank knew him.... Bryan didn't know him. But it boiled down to that 'King of Bikini Top' thing again. Or was Gordan the king, and Bryan was the... prince? Oh well, it wasn't that important. What was important was that there was a brand new, still not used laptop sitting on his night stand, practically calling out to him. He turned it on. Then he checked his e-mails. Five new, three from Zoë. He opened the first one.

"Hi honey, just wanted to check in and see if you were okay. E-mail me when the flight is over, please.
Mom"

Okay. Not so bad. Next.

"Bryan, it's been three days. Are you alright? Is everything okay in school? Meet any new friends? Any girls? I really want to talk to you, so I want you to reply.
Mom"

A little more serious that time...

"Bryan U. Errin,
You had best get your ass to a computer and reply to this message, or you will be in deep trouble. Hell, I may take a personal flight to Bikini Top to personally punish you. Neglecting to contact your mother is horrible. I just hope you know that, young man.
From,
Your Mother, Zoë"

Bryan sighed. He sent his mother an e-mail:

"Hi Mom! I've been having a pretty good time in Bikini Top, spending time with Dad and everything. I've made some friends. You don't need to worry about me. And I'm sorry I've been... neglecting contacting you. I've just been busy. Well, I'm going to meet some friends at Smoothie Shack, so I'll talk to you later."

And he wasn't lying. Trey had texted him, telling him that it was critical that he meet him and Jake at the Smoothie Shack by 10:00 AM. It was 9:45, so Bryan had to hurry. He hopped into his vomit-green boatmobile and rode to the Smoothie Shack. While there, he saw Jake with his head laying on the table, and Trey staring at him awkwardly. Bryan sits down at the table. Then, Trey tells him he has an idea. He whispers it in Bryan's ear: "Nudie bar. No IDs required." Bryan's face lights up somewhat, and Jake lifts his head up, grinning. The three of them immediately hop into Trey's boatmobile, looking forward to a very fun afternoon....

Meanwhile, Morgan is exercising at her house. It's all she can do to keep her mind off of Jake. But it's not helping. All she can think of is jex.... And she's getting this instinct that something wrong is going on, and that Jake is doing something that he will soon regret. She tells herself it's just more post-break-up blues, but she's wrong.

The guys are having fun. But seriously, what straight teen wouldn't be having a jolly good time at a strip club? No straight teen. That's who. Then, Bryan gets a text from his father:

"Trey's dad told me. That Trey kid isn't too bright. Trey let it slip to his dad. His dad freaked out, told me. Now I'm upset. Get home. Now."

Bryan decided he probably should get out of there, no matter how much fun he was having, seeing a bunch of naked girls... but oh well, time to get back to the real world. He grabs Jake, who's laying down in a booth in his boxers. Then, one of the 'entertainers' asks him where they're going. He tells him they have to leave. She asks if they have any money to pay for their time. Crap. Bryan is broke. He asks Trey. Nadda. He asks Jake. El Zelcho. Then, Jake gets an idea. He calls Morgan.

"What?" she asked, sounding annoyed.

"Um..." Jake said. He couldn't think of anything to say. This was the first time they had spoken since their break-up.

"Seriously Jake, what is it?"

"Me, Trey, and Bryan are in a bit of a pinch...."

"Specify...."

"Well, we need you to come to that strip club on the outskirts of town and come with eighty bucks to pay our debt."

The call ended.

The two of them asked what she said, to which Jake just said, "We'll see..."

In an hour, Morgan was there. She kind of chuckled, seeing her ex-boyfriend in his boxers. The irony of it all. Just a week ago they broke up because she didn't want to see him without his clothes on. But now he was... hot. But she stopped thinking of that, told him to get his clothes back on, paid the 'entertainers,' and drove the boys home.

She drove Trey home first, he thanked her with at least a hundred words, then got out of the boatmobile. Next she dropped off Bryan. He said thanks, and got out. Then it was just her and Jake, who smirked when he noticed it was just the two of them. Finally, she couldn't resist. She stopped the car, pulled over, and grabbed her ex-boyfriend's face. She pulled his face close to her face until they were just centimeters apart, and their lips touched in a spur of the moment. And in that magical moment, she didn't worry about jex, sex, anything. She just worried about kissing Jake. And Jake didn't worry about getting off Morgan's shirt. He was just happy to have Morgan's lips locked with his again. The kiss lasted for what seemed like all night. Then, when it was over, both of them were pretty excited, and yet confused. Were they a couple now or weren't they?

---

S1E4 (4)- Crushed: Previously on Bikini Top... Morgan and Jake are both trying to get over each other. How's that working out for them, you ask? Not too well.... Trey feels pity for his depressed friend, and decides it's time to cheer him up, by taking him to a strip club that doesn't check IDs. They take Bryan, who's just read some e-mails from his angry mother, along. Then, Bryan gets a text from Gordan, telling him that he knows where he is, and that he needs to get home now. So, Bryan tries, but they need to pay the strippers. Too bad none of them have any cash. So, Jake calls his now-ex-girlfriend Morgan to bail them out of strip club prison. She pays the debt and drives the three of them home, and the night ends with a kiss between Jake and Morgan, leaving uncertainty as to if they're back together or not.

Anna woke up. Sunday morning. Time to get ready for church. Lady of Perpetual Sorrow. How... uplifting. But, she was kind of excited. After school she was studying with Bryan and... Trey. Oh god, was Trey hot. Er... no he wasn't. Suddenly, her mother was calling her, telling her to hurry up. So she slipped on some clothes and got in the car with her mother, on the way to church. It was an okay service. Then, as they were driving home from church, they saw a man walking along the sidewalk... until a giant boulder randomly crushed him.

(Theme plays)

The man is dead. Anna is confused. That boulder wasn't there before. Someone... sent it towards him. But who? And... why? Why did someone thrust a giant boulder at an innocent man walking down the sidewalk? It made absolutely no sense. All this uncertainty... all this drama... it was going to drive Anna crazy. And she was already pretty crazy.

Bryan is waiting for Trey and Anna to come over. He's going to help out the two of them in Trig. He's still hazy over last night though. Well, not really. He's just hazy about why in the world his father isn't punishing him. But oh well, he's not complaining. He went to a strip club, for free, and isn't getting punished. So yeah, he's not going to whine and cry to his dad, begging to be punished for a night of fun with the guys.

Jake feels... hungover. Gah. Really hungover. He regrets last night a lot. Except the part where he made out with Morgan and they decided to secretly date. That part was nice. Too bad he didn't get to take her freaking shirt off for the umpteenth time. But no, uh... he really liked her. Still didn't love her. But if she asked, he loved her sooooo much! She didn't need to know that he wasn't sure. He was like, one percent away from loving her. She didn't need to know that. His feelings were his business, not his girlfriend's. God, was this grumpy attitude some sort of result of his massive hangover? He hoped, he didn't feel like being a jerk today.

DING DOOOOOOOOONG! rang Bryan's doorbell. He opened the door to see Trey. He invited him inside. Trey thanked him, and asked him if Anna was there. Bryan told him she wasn't there yet, so Trey decided to call her. She told him that she was on her way. Five minutes later, she arrived at the house, looking stressed. Bryan and Trey asked her what was wrong, and she told them everything. They both said "oh" and then Bryan rushed to his laptop and Googled "Bikini Top accidents" where he then saw a number of strange accidents occurring in Bikini Top that no one can explain, no matter how hard they tried. Anna put her heads down in her hands, and said, "What the hell is going on?"

Jake's cell phone was ringing. He picked it up and said, "Eh... Hullo?"

"Jake, you sound like crap," Morgan said on the other line. "Are you okay?"

"Just a little--"

"Hungover?" Anna sighed.

"Well, yeah."

"Promise me you won't ever drink again."

"Morgan, I'm not promising anything."

"Promise," said Morgan, with her teeth clenched. "Listen... I hate people who drink. My biological parents... they were drunks. And-- they hit me, Jake."

"What?" Jake said, shocked.

"They were really abusive, and mean, sometimes they did drugs. It all started with a drinking problem. And I don't want that to happen to you, especially if we ever decide to get married... and have children together. I want a sober boyfriend, and a sober husband."

Jake frowned. "I guess I can give you that."

"Oh my, god. Thank you, Jake."

"No problem..." Jake said.

"So... promise you won't drink. Especially when you're underaged, like you are now."

"I promise I won't drink."

The conversation then ended.

Bryan, Trey, and Anna still hadn't started studying. They were still freaked out about all these unexplained accidents in Bikini Top. People dying, getting hurt. None of them knew why. Then, the news came on:

"The Bikini Top Bridge has just spontaneously collapsed, with fifty boatmobiles at the least on it, now close to their death."

"OH MY, GOD!" Anna shrieked.

---

S1E5 (5)- Memories and Repercussions: Previously on Bikini Top... On the way back from church, Anna receives a shocking surprise as a boulder falls on a man nonchalantly walking down the sidewalk, until a boulder crushes him, killing him. Anna is freaking out, and when she goes over to Bryan's house to study, she and Bryan, along with Trey Google "Bikini Top accidents" and discover the small town has had tons of accidents just like the boulder falling on that man. And, Jake wakes up with a hangover, later receiving a call from Morgan. After some quick chatting, she begs him not to drink ever again, revealing that she was adopted, and that her biological parents were drunks who hit her. Jake promises he won't drink. Then, Bryan, Trey, and Anna see that the Bikini Top Bridge collapsed, leaving hundreds of lives in danger....

Bryan is driving Trey and Anna to the bridge, trying to find out what the hell is going on. They arrive at the bridge, only to see construction vehicles under the bridge, fighting desperately to keep it from falling. They see a car slip off the bridge... dead. Anna rests her head on Trey's shoulder, sobbing. Then, she looks him in the eyes. Letting all of her feelings emerge, she kisses Trey. Trey doesn't kiss back. All he does is pull away.

"Anna, I'm not looking for a relationship."

"Uh-- oh.... Why not?" she asks.

"I'm... seeing someone."

(Theme plays)

"Oh... I see," Anna says. She gets out of the car, embarrassed, crying.

Bryan turns to Trey. "What was up with that? You're not seeing anyone."

"I just-- didn't tell you guys."

"Who is it?" Jake asked.

"It's this girl, Arianna."

"Who?" Jake asked.

"She's this mega-hot chick, we met at the beach when we went a week ago, remember? You hooked up with that Temperance girl."

"I did not 'hook up' with Temperance!"

"Well you kissed, and I swear I saw tongue!"

"Don't tell anyone, please!" Bryan pleaded.

"Whatever," Trey said, and he got out of the car.

Temperance was practically in Heaven. Last week, when Bryan kissed her... the world... it melted away. Her father had recently died, so it was hard. But when she kissed Bryan, all of those thoughts of death just vanished from her head. Those memories were what she always wanted to keep. Sure, it was okay living with just her mother. Honestly, she had always preferred her father, just because he always seemed so nice and well-meaning, while her mother was superficial and cared about beauty. Her father was more down to earth. But her mother... she wasn't, to say the least. And her older sister had just moved out, going to college at Bikini Bottom University. It's some school for rich people. And Temperance's family wasn't rich. Not until a year ago, when Temperance's mother Brenda started dating this rich man, Tristan. The weird thing... it was only two months after her father, Harrison, had died. And Temperance absolutely hated to judge people by their looks, but Tristan was not good looking. At all.... It was just all so strange, and fishy. And it made Temperance want to hate Brenda. But she didn't. Not quite. She didn't like her, but she also didn't hate her. She was somewhere in between, except closer to hate. But that's what she loved about kissing Bryan. Now her mind was no longer shrouded with all of these meaningless thoughts. It was awesome not being able to think about that! Then, she got a call on her cell phone from Bryan.

"Hello," she said.

"Hi," said Bryan. "Listen... about that kiss."

Crap. "Uh... what about it?"

"It didn't mean anything. I just... wanted to clear that up."

Temperance hung up. She threw her cell phone at the floor, ran to her room, slammed the door, locked it, plopped down on her bed, and cried her eyes out.

Bryan wipes away one quick tear, then finds his father in all the mess. "Hey Dad, what's going on?"

"What's going on?" Gordan says.

"I mean-- how's the bridge thing going, Mr. Chief of Police?"

Gordan chuckled. "Well, some lives were lost, but we managed to save the bridge. All the cars just need to get off of it, and everything will be okay. Good as new in a week."

"And how did it break?"

"I don't know," Gordan said. "Just some freak accident."

A few days later, Bryan was sitting down watching some TV. His favorite show was over, and on came his least favorite show... Total Cartoon Island. "Gah..." he said, and he changed the channel, showing Total Drama Island. "The remake sucks. I like the original better."

-------------

S1E6 (6)- Arianna and Naomi: Previously on Bikini Top... Bryan rushes Trey and Anna to the bridge, prompting Anna to give Trey a sneak attack kiss. Then, Trey pulls away, to Anna's dismay. He lets her know he's seeing someone. Anna feels embarrassed, and gets out of Bryan's vomit green boatmobile. Trey then reveals to Bryan that he met his girlfriend, Arianna, that day at the beach about a week ago. He also tells Bryan he saw him sticking his tongue in Temperance's mouth. Then, we see Temperance reminiscing about her tragic and rather confusing past, when she gets a call from Bryan, telling her the kiss was nothing. Then, Temperance snaps and collapses. Gordan lets his son know that the bridge is fine, though some lives have been lost.

Damn. Temperance feels like crap. But, she'd felt like crap every day since that bastard Bryan Errin told her that the passionate, hot, sweaty lip-lock they had shared was nothing. Nothing! For a week it had sustained her from going insane... from slapping her mother across the face. Her mother was being an illogical... five letter word that rhymes with 'ditch'.... Temperance had finally faced the realization that her mother was only dating Tristan for his giant moneybags that practically exploded from his pockets. She was pissed. She relied on her friends to help her out in these tough times. Faith and Beckee were her two best friends. The two of them helped Temperance through a lot... though she hadn't really hung out with them for months, and when she saw them, they were very distant. They looked more serious and stressed, like they never slept any more. And they looked... bulky, like they had been exercising 24/7. Kinda weird.... Every time Temperance tried to hang out with them lately, they just walked away, and flat out ignored her. It was strange, and just a little creepy.

(Theme plays)

Anna was sitting down in the Smoothie Shack, drinking a blueberry smoothie. Stuffing herself with blended fruit was a way to mend her now-broken heart. Two weeks ago she threw herself at Trey, only to discover he had a girlfriend. A girlfriend, for god's sakes! It was so embarrassing. She hadn't spoken to Trey since then. Or Bryan. Or Jake. Or Morgan. She'd been so embarrassed that she didn't want to have to face them. Then the person she really didn't want to face walked into the Smoothie Shack. Trey, looking extra... what was the word that Jake used for Morgan at the beach? Oh yeah. Trey was looking SUPER jexy. Anna worked not to drool as Trey walked over to her.

"About that day at the bridge--"

"Ancient history," Anna said. "T-Two weeks ago. It's f-f-fine. Okay?"

"It doesn't sound like it's fine," Trey said.

"Listen," she said. "With all that c-crap going on, I just needed a mouth to stick my tongue in. Yours was close. That's all. I didn't have any... f-f-feelings for you... and I still d-don't."

"O...kay," Trey said.

Anna didn't look at him.

"Hey, Anna..." he said.

"What?" Anna asked.

He leaned in to kiss her, but she backed her head away.

"You have a girlfriend," she said.

"Uh, yeah..." he said. "You're right. What was I thinking?"

He walked to the counter and ordered a smoothie. When he got it, he sat next to a girl with straight blonde hair and thick lips that were covered in gorgeous scarlet red lipstick. The girl had just walked in the room, and when she did, all the guys stared at her. It was pathetic. Though, she was also very... jexy. When she walked she had this certain confidence that made her seem like she was the only person in the room. It was Arianna. Anna couldn't help but be jealous of the hottest girl in the room as the guys threw themself at her. Eventually, the jealousy overwhelmed her. She stormed out of the Smoothie Shack.

~~~

Bryan was heading to Jake's house to hand him work he missed at school last Friday when he was out sick. He opened the door to the house, walking inside. Jake's mother had said he was welcome whenever. He walked in, and walked up the stairs, to spot a strange spectacle. Upstairs, Jake was kissing Morgan. Not kissing. The two of their lips were everywhere as their faces smashed together in a fury of passion. But... they're broken up! He sneaks away, being sure they didn't see him, and runs out, driving to the Smoothie Shack.

~~~

Morgan pulled away, panting.

"That. Was. Awesome," she said, before falling back, crashing on Jake's bed.

"Want me to get on the bed with you?" he asked seductively.

She couldn't tell if he was kidding. "Shut up," she decided to say.

"Rawr!" he growled, before pouncing on top of her and kissing her romantically. She once again pulled away.

"What is it?" Jake said, agitated.

"Naomi," she said in one breath.

"What about her?" Jake asked.

"She's waiting for me at the airport," Morgan said. Naomi was Morgan's best friend in the world. Recently she had gone to WaterFalls for her Aunt Inga's funeral. Now, she was back.

"Oh," Jake said. He knew that he didn't hold a candle to Morgan's best friend since pre-school, Naomi. They had been inseparable since they were four years old. It was weird... in a good way. And Jake and Morgan had met in 8th Grade. So... Naomi had seniority.

Morgan walked out the door. Jake sighs, and lays down on his bed. Now, he thinks about how he knows he saw Bryan's face while he and Morgan were kissing. He picks up his cell phone.

"Hello?" Bryan says.

"Just to let you know..." Jake said. "You didn't see anything."

"Yeah," Bryan began, "I did."

"No you didn't," Jake said, becoming irritated.

"Listen Jake," Bryan said. "Why don't you want anyone to know that you and Morgan are dating again?"

"Er..." Jake said.

"You're hiding something," Bryan accused.

"You know what..." Jake said, "I am hiding something. You're completely and totally correct when you accuse me of hiding something, Bryan. But... but I can't tell you. It's... It's a secret."

"Please," Bryan said, "Tell me."

Jake sighed. "I... I slept with this girl..."

~~~

Morgan finally made it to the airport. When she was there, she saw a girl her height, with extra curly brown hair going down past her shoulders. The girls eyes were a stunning shade of robin egg's blue. Morgan also noticed that the girls eyes were very bloodshot, with giant rings around them. Morgan chose to ignore it. This was her best friend. It was Naomi!

"Naomi!" Morgan squeaked.

"Oh. Em. Gee!" Naomi cried, and went up to hug her best friend.

When Naomi was that close to her Morgan realized that her friend's eyes weren't that bloodshot. She looked pretty good, actually. Morgan returned the hug.

Naomi lived in Bikini Top because she loved acting, and Bikini Top was really close to Coralwood, about thirty minutes away. And Naomi's mother pushed her to do acting because Veera, her mother, couldn't pay the mortgage for their home. Naomi was always under a lot of stress, always seeming really distant. Her mother relied on her to bring money home from tooth paste commercials and other stuff like TV shows and movies. When she was eight years old, Naomi got this role in a sitcom that went on for three years. It was enough... for a while. But lately, it hadn't been enough. SHe had been busting her ass to get money for her mother so they wouldn't have to stay in some cheap-o apartment complex on the outskirts of Bikini Top. Naomi didn't want that. Veera really didn't.

Their hug ended as memories of Naomi's rollercoaster of a childhood went through both of their heads. There were a few moments of silence between them. They knew they were both thinking the same thing.

"Um..." Morgan said. "Come on. I arranged for a party at Zinka's Party Emporium."

S1E7 (7)- Things Get Musical: Previously on Bikini Top... Temperance is still upset that Bryan told her that their kiss at the beach was nothing, and she's realized that her mother is only dating Tristan for his money. Gold digger. Anna, meanwhile, is still embarrassed that she kissed Trey, then, she meets his girlfreind, Arianna, at the Smoothie Shack. Bryan is going to take Trey a missed assignment, until he sees that he and his ex-girlfriend Morgan are making out in Trey's bedroom. Later on the phone, Bryan and Jake argue, and Jake tells Bryan that the reason he's keeping their relationship a secret is because he slept with someone else. Morgan goes to pick up her friend, Naomi, from the airport, and the episode ends with them driving to Naomi's Welcome Back party at Zinka's Party Emporium.

"I don't want to go!" Naomi said.

"I have some new friends I want you to meet. And Jake is there!" Morgan said, encouraging her best friend to get out of the boatmobile. They were sitting in the parking lot at Zinka's Party Emporium, where Morgan had the whole building rented out to Morgan and any of her friends, and anyone they invite. So, pretty much all of the teens from Bikini Top High School. All the people Naomi didn't want to see again. Yes, she was popular. And attractive, not to toot her own horn or anything. But, she just didn't want to see them. She could be a little shy.

"Gah..." Naomi sighed. She rested her head in her hands. Morgan had the feeling she was hiding something. But... this was Naomi. It always seemed like she was hiding something.

"Come on," Morgan said with her signature sympathetic grin. "I know it's been a few months, but everyone still loves you. You're gorgeous, and nice. And you've always been and always will be my best friend."

"Thanks, Mor," Naomi said, though her head was still resting in her hands.

Morgan brought up her head, took her hand, and dragged her out of the boatmobile. Naomi didn't fight back. She knew that her best friend wasn't going to give up. She knew that she never would, no matter what, even if... she told her.... No! She-- She couldn't think about that. And-- And she couldn't tell anyone. That was... the past. And it was behind her. For good.

"Welcome back, Naomi!"

(Theme plays)

God! Anna wanted to go over there and slap Arianna. Trey was there, undressing the tramp with his eyes, while she shoved her tongue down his throat. Jealousy was so not Anna, but Trey was amazing. So amazing. Except that he kind of had horrible taste in women. Actually, what was so bad about Arianna? Sure, she was dating Anna's silly little crush, but Arianna didn't know that. Anna had no reason to resent Arianna. She had an idea. Maybe, just maybe, she could try to be Arianna's friend.

~~~

"So, you hung up after you dropped that bomb on me," Bryan told Jake. "You told me you slept with 'this girl.' Who is it?"

"You don't know her," Jake said. "She-- She doesn't go to our school."

"You do realize you're a terrible liar?" Bryan smirked.

"Damn it Bryan..." Jake said. "She does go to our school--"

"--I already knew that."

"Hey Bryan, I'm the one telling this story," Jake said indignantly.

"Fine..." Bryan pouted.

"Her name is Jackie. She's a cheerleader. A sophomore. She was looking to give it up, and I was... intoxicated. Another thing Morgan won't be happy about, since I swore eternal sober-ness to her. Anyways, if me and Morgan go public again, it's only a matter of time before word gets to Jackie, and she'll tell Morgan, and it'll be hell."

"Have you talked to Jackie since you had sex with her?" Bryan asked.

"Oh, god..." Jake said.

"Answer the question..." Bryan said, looking suspicious.

"Crap," Jake said. "I just realized I haven't."

"Oh my, god, Jake!" Bryan said, disappointed.

"I know, I know... I'm a giant ass, blah blah.... How could I have sex with a girl and not call her, blah blah.... What a stereotype, blah blah.... Am I trying to act like a player or something?, blah blah.... Do I realize how freaking inconsiderate I am?, blah blah.... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it."

Bryan couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't tell if Jake was trying to make him laugh, or if he was just angry. He didn't care. That was hilarious.

~~~

"So," Morgan said as she walked over to Naomi. "How's the party?"

"Actually," Naomi said. "Not so bad, so far. Good job, Morrow."

"Thanks, Duncan," Morgan said.

"No prob," Naomi said.

"So, I arranged a special surprise just for you..." Morgan said.

Naomi looked slightly intrigued, but more worried. "Um.... What is it?"

"One word: Karaoke."

Naomi swallowed a lump in her throat, but nodded. Everyone always told her she had a great voice, and she really did love singing.

"Go on!" Morgan encouraged her.

"Okay, Mor," Naomi said. Then she smiled, and ran onto the stage.

Morgan laughed gleefully. Naomi was always so lively and enjoyable when she was on the stage. Even when she was so mysterious like she was now.

All eyes turned to Naomi. For the first time all night, she wasn't uncomfortable. She sang "Hot 'N' Cold" by Katy Perry (listen here-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X75mry1LcFg) , and when she was done, everyone clapped for her. She took a bow. Then, something unexpected happens. Jake hops onto the stage and grabs a microphone. Time for a duet. What song? "Always" by blink-182 (listen here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUDCEzfPxw4). And oh, is Morgan jealous. In her mind, she's calling her best friend a slut. Ridiculous, but totally true. She's all over him while the two of them are singing. Sure, it's all just fun, but Naomi is looking right at Morgan the whole time. It's weird. Meanwhile, Anna is seeing Trey and Arianna kiss. She still wants to be her friend, but after Jake and Naomi's duet is over and the two are off the stage, she's the next one on. She picks the perfect song for her feelings. She sings "So What" by P!nk (listen here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJZDsJ8UU64&feature=related) and the crowd is roaring. Trey can't help but notice how hot she is, and how talented she is. Then, Morgan's jealousy deepens when she sees Jake and Naomi talking and laughing. She was thinking... if her and Jake weren't exclusive, did that mean he could see other girls? He wouldn't do that, would he? She was overwhelmed. It was her turn to take the stage, and sing about her feelings. Why not? Everyone was doing it. She stepped onto the stairs, and sang "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks (listen here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJZDsJ8UU64&feature=related). The crowd was blown away, but especially Jake. He... he thought he loved that girl. When she walked off the stage, something shocking happened. A very sexy looking Temperance walked up the stage with an unusual ammount of confidence. She snatched the microphone from the holder, with a sort of evil grin. She looked straight at Bryan the whole time she sang "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood (listen here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSG4Cml7HXs). Bryan was a bit shocked. He wanted to go talk to her, but after her amazing performace, Temperance walked right out the door of Zinka's Party Emporium.

~~~

Now that she had all those feelings about Trey going out with Arianna out of the way from that song, Anna decided it was time for operation "Befriend the Girlfriend". She walks over to Arianna, and starts talking to her, acting friendly.

Arianna stares at Anna like she's Satan. "Shut up, b!tch-lips!" she said.

"Um... what?" Anna said, taken aback.

"You heard me."

"Yeah, I heard you. I just don't quite know what I did."

"You like my boyfriend, whore. And I know what you're doing. 'Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.' Don't think that just because you and Trey are friends, I won't kick your prissy little ass to the curb if you ever make a move on him again."

S1E8 (8 )- Bad News Brenda: Previously on Bikini Top... Morgan takes Naomi to the party, and things get... musical. But beforehand, there's a little drama leading up to the karaoke debacle. Bryan gets more info on Jake having sex. Naomi feels guilt about hiding a secret from Morgan. Anna is thinking, and she decides to befriend her, since she has no reason to hate her. Then, for Naomi's welcome back party, the karaoke begins. Karaoke leads to a lot of jealousy, and some feelings revealed. After it all, Anna goes to Arianna and tries to be her friend, chatting it up with her. But Arianna only insults her, telling her to stay away from Trey.

Morgan feels so unsure lately. Just a week ago she was jealous of her best friend in the world. This being in love stuff sucked. God, why did love have to feel like a battlefield? Then she was reminded of what happened after her performance last week.

Morgan felt exhilarated. That was... amazing. All of her feelings out. No one really knew they were her feelings, sure, but still. Then, she saw a woman with totally straight black hair. Not a hair was out of place. It was completely tidy. The woman had grassy-green eyes. She told Morgan her performance was amazing, and offered her an... album?

Morgan still couldn't believe that part. But it got more shocking.

Then the woman told Morgan that she was gorgeous, causing Morgan to blush. She gave Morgan her card. Then, the woman walked over to Naomi, and handed her the card too. Oh... it was on.

Morgan was going to be competing with her best friend. Well, not competing. Maybe they could both be famous. Yeah. That'd be nice. Morgan picked the card up from off the top of her dresser --

Temperance had been cooled down lately. Very calm, actually. Just felt... mellow. She had been working extra hard in school lately, something that took her mind off Bryan. Right now, she was listening to her FishPod (song plays through entire scene). She's listening to the song "Shake It" by Metro Station, bobbing her head up and down. Then, there's a knock on her bedroom door.

"Come in," Temperance said, though she regretted it when she saw who it was.

Her mother stepped in, and Temperance took her headphones out (though you can still hear the song playing as if she's still listening). "Hey," Brenda said.

Temperance looked nothing like Brenda. Temperance had shiny, wavy black hair that didn't look very groomed, and dark chocolate brown eyes. Brenda had dirty blond hair tossed up in a ponytail, never a hair out of place, and bright blue eyes. Everyone would always tell Temperance how much she looked like her father, blah blah. She got tired of hearing it, but they were completely correct. Temperance's resemblance to her father was strange, like she was a female clone of him.

"What do you want?" Temperance said coldly.

"I want to talk to you," Brenda said.

"About what?" Temperance said.

"Stop with that bratty, sarcastic tone, Temperance," Brenda said.

"Oh!" Temperance said with a sarcastic enthusiasm.

"What?" Brenda said.

"Look who's finally decided that they're going to be a mother..." Temperance said coldly, brushing her mother off.

"Hey!" Brenda said, getting angry. "I know that I won't be winning Mother of the Year--"

"--Pfft," Temperance said. "That's for sure, Brenda."

"First of all, you will call me 'Mom,' not 'Brenda.' You are my daughter, if you like it or not. And don't interrupt me, Temperance Lei Simmera."

"Fine..." Temperance said. Her mother meant business. She used her full name.

"I decided... it's time I told you something," Brenda said.

"Uh..." Temperance said, feeling awkward. "This isn't the sex talk, is it?"

"Oh, no. Oh... god no," Brenda said. "I trust you on the birds and the bees. You're a smart girl, Temperance."

"Thanks, Mom," Temperance said, smiling sheepishly.

"Aw... that's the sweet girl I know and love," Brenda said. "Anyways... I need to tell you, me and your father... we weren't exactly on good terms before his death."

This hit Temperance hard. "Um... why have you decided to tell me this now?"

"Because I know you've been thinking about him a lot lately," Brenda said.

"Oh." Temperance decided that sounded reasonable. "So why weren't you on good terms?"

"Because..." Brenda hesitated.

"Mom, what is it?" Temperance said, her concern growing.

"Your father was having an affair, Temp."

"Excuse me?" Temperance said.

"He was cheating on me," Brenda said.

"For how long?" Temperance said, trying to keep her cool as best as she could. This was unbelievable. The man that she had looked up to... had been having an affair? It was unbelievable. This was strange. Temperance felt like she was only getting a fragment of the story. But this wasn't the time to ask for more.

"A few years," Brenda said. "With... multiple women."

Ouch. That one hurt even more. "Why did you include the 'with multiple women' part?"

"Because... he died of AIDS, honey. I may have HIV. I n-need to go get tested today."

Temperance put her head in her hands. Oh my, god. This couldn't be happening....

~~~

Naomi got out of bed, and stretched. Then she saw the card on her beside-table.

She saw Gina give the card to Morgan, too. Would they be competing for the album? That'd be fun.... Nah, it wouldn't be. Her mother was knocking on the door. Crap! Some of her... party favors... were on her dresser. She grabbed the lipstick tube, and stuffed it in a drawer under some of her shirts.

"Come in!" she said with as cheerful a tone she could muster.

Her mother, Veera, stepped into the room, looking like herself. Wearing the expensive makeup that they couldn't afford, and Naomi would have to get a hundred commercials to pay it off. And then maybe land a guest appearance on a TV show or a small role in a movie to get the mortgage on the house paid. Getting that album would be so great... It would help so much.

Veera had blackish brown hair that was totally curly, and her eyes were robin's egg blue, like Naomi's. She wore expensive jewelry. She got it when Naomi was on that sitcom.

"Hey," Veera said. "Just got a call from that mattress company. You didn't get the commercial?"

"No Mom," Naomi said. "I'm sorry. I tried."

"Oh. Sure you did. A perfect image of someone who tried stands before me. Look at you. You should've been up fifteen minutes ago. You're going to be late for school."

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Naomi said, shocked by the time.

"I have better things to do then make sure you get up. You should be able to do that on your own."

Naomi hated when her mother made her feel like this. She made Naomi feel like crap. That's why Naomi did... what she did. Because she was under so much pressure from her b!tch of a mother.

Veera left the room. Naomi got ready for school as fast as she could, skipping breakfast. She got in her boatmobile, and drove to Bikini Top High School.

~~~

First few classes... uneventful. So, time for lunch.

At the table sat... everyone... except Temperance, who didn't go to Bikini Top High School, she went to one on her reservation. Bryan, Jake, Trey, Anna, Morgan, Naomi, and Arianna all sat at the table. Arianna was glaring at Anna, and Anna was glaring right back. Trey noticed the friction, and he decided to stay out of it. It was none of his business. Well, it was, but he didn't feel like getting involved in it. At least, not at lunch. He would later.

"Oh baby," Arianna said, gently putting her gorgeous head on Trey's shoulder. "I had Geometry today, and damn it was hard."

"You know what I hate?" Morgan said.

"What, Morg-y?" Arianna said.

"Okay, gag me..." Morgan said, symbolically putting her finger near her throat, making a vomiting noise.

"Burn!" Anna said, and gave Morgan a high-four (=P).

"And, I hate people who just use the word damn to spice up their sentence.... It's so--"

"--Hot?" Arianna said.

"No." Morgan scowled. "It makes you seem like a--"

"--Uber-hot model?" Arianna said.

"I was thinkin' a hoe-bot..." Anna said.

"Miss Catholic!" Jake said, giving snapping his fingers.

Anna blushed.

"And it makes you seem like a wannabe diva," Morgan said.

"Is every girl at this table jealous of me or something?" Arianna said, rolling his eyes. "Do you want my boyfriend too, or something, now that you're on the rebound and everything?"

Oh god, did Morgan hate that girl. They'd been in third grade together, though Miss Shallow didn't know that. The whole time, she was, well... pretty much the same. Dumb. Inappropriate. Self-absorbed. Same old, same old.

Morgan was about to slap her, but Jake gave her a warning look. A little telepathic glance that said 'Don't go there' without actually saying it. They'd used it on each other... a lot. They called it... the No-No Look. "No. I've known Trey for... a long time. We're buds. That's all, right Trey?"

"Yep, Mor," Trey said.

Arianna glared at her boyfriend. "Whatever," she said, and she grabbed her tray and took it up.

"She sure is pleasant..." Bryan said.

"Yeah..." Naomi said awkwardly.

~~~

Naomi was standing at her locker, putting in her combination, when she heard whispering.

"Oh my, god! Did you see Naomi Duncan?" a voice said from behind her.

"YES!" another voice said.

"What, Miss Druggie?" the third said.

"Hmm... I'm thinking cocaine," said the second.

"Yep," the third said.

The bell rang.

Naomi didn't go to class, she went to the bathroom, her lipstick container in her hands. She cried her eyes out. She didn't want to do this, but she used... what was in the lipstick tube.

~~~

"You're back!" Tristan said, trying to sound as cheerful as he could. His girlfriend walked into the door, back with the results from her test.

"Don't act so cheerful," Brenda said.

"Crap..." Tristan said. "Why is that?"

"Because I'm HIV... negative!" Brenda squeaked with joy.

"That's great, honey!" Tristan said.

Brenda pulled Tristan into a hug.

"Just one question..." Tristan said.

"What's the question?"

Tristan went down on one knee. He grabbed a small black box. He opened it. Inside was a beautiful diamond... engagement ring. "Brenda Simmera... will you marry me?"

S1E9 (9)- Turn of Events: Previously on Bikini Top... Morgan remembers that she was offered a record deal at Naomi's party... and so was Naomi. Both of them wonder if they'll be competing for it. Then, after an intense, angry conversation with her mother, Brenda, Brenda lets Temperance know that her father had been cheating on her, and that he had died of AIDS. So, Brenda has to get tested for HIV today while Temperance is at school. We get a peek at Naomi's life at home, and she gets a knock at the door, and hides her lipstick tube of 'party favors' from her mother. Then, her mother gives her a hard time about not getting a mattress commercial. Later at school, it's Arianna vs. ... Everyone but Trey. Trey is pretty neutral as everyone verbally abuses Arianna. Then, at her locker, Naomi hears people calling her 'Miss Druggie' and she grabs her lipstick tube full of something that's... not lipstick, and runs to the bathroom. And finally, Brenda comes home to tell her boyfriend, Tristan that she is HIV... Negative! Tristan then gets down on one knee and proposes to her. So, needless to say, a lot happened....

Gross. Bryan was driving to school in his nasty vomit-green boatmobile. It was seriously time to repaint this thing. Maybe... red. Or... blue. Or... orange. Or... black. Black sounded good. A shiny black. It was the end of November... he wanted a nice car. And a girlfriend. Yeah. A girlfriend would be nice. A hot one. Man, was he jealous of Trey. Arianna was really hot. Like, reaaaaaaaaally hot. But, she was also a total b!tch, so... he didn't really want her. And he liked Morgan, but... she was secretly with Jake. And Anna was cute, but she was head over heels crushing on Trey. He liked Temperance, but dating her would just be weird, they'd known each other for years. Though she was admittedly drop-dead gorgeous. His other dating option in the group was... Naomi. She was hot, check. She seemed nice, check. She was single, check?

(Theme plays)

Ugh. History. History, AKA... A Class About A Bunch Of Dead Guys That You Will Never Actually Need To Know About In The Real World. Jake was unbelievably bored. But, he was staring at Morgan, so it was okay. Morgan looked back at him, and flashed him a grin. He loved the way their relationship was right now. It was so simple. No worries, about anything.

~~~

Bryan is at his locker. Naomi walks by. Time to ask her the question.

"Hey," he said.

"Um... hey," she said, sounding a little frail.

"So, I was wondering..." he said. "Are you... single?"

Naomi grabbed him in a tight embrace and kissed him.

"Does that answer your question?" she winked.

Bryan was left standing there in the hall.

~~~

Anna was sick of this. It was time to take on Arianna. Earlier that day, Arianna tripped her in the hall, causing her to fall flat on her face, her textbooks scattered all over the hall. A cute guy named Keith picked up her books and gave them back to her, but that's totally besides the point. It was time to take her, head-on, and ask her what her problem was.

"Look, it's Miss Never-Worn-A-Bra." Arianna clapped.

One of Arianna's friends, Tori, clapped. "Burn..." she said.

"Totally," another girl, Jennie, said.

"Shut up, Arianna," Anna said.

"Oh... this kitty's got claws!" Arianna said. "But, like I said... too bad you don't wear a bra... but... why would you need to?"

Anna pulled up her shirt, revealing her red bra. "Take... that," she said.

Arianna opened her mouth. "Well, you could never do anything more, you--"

"Oh, what am I?" Anna said, challenging Arianna as she put her shirt back down.

"You're a Bible-thumping, two-faced virgin!" Arianna said.

"Diss!" Tori said.

"Take that, slut!" Jennie said.

"How can she be a slut? Arianna just called her a Bible-thumping, two-faced virgin..." Tori said.

"Are you standing up for her?" Jennie said.

"Both of you, shut up," Arianna said.

"Wow, nice friends..." Anna mocked Arianna.

"Shut the hell up!" Arianna said. "You've been after my boyfriend from Day 1."

Anna glared at Arianna.

"What are you going to do, religion-freak?" Arianna said mockingly. "You going to say a prayer?"

"Actually..." Anna said, "yeah, I am. I'll say a prayer for you."

"Oh, how sweet!" Arianna said.

"God... help Arianna..."

Arianna smirked.

"... because she's a B!TCH!"

Arianna lunged at Anna. Anna pulled Arianna's hair. Arianna bit Anna.

"OUCH!" Anna said. "You b!tch!"

"Had enough?" Arianna said, taunting Anna.

Suddenly, the school guidance counselor, Mr. York, tapped Arianna's shoulder. "You two. My office. Now."

~~~

After school that day, Bryan and Naomi were hanging out at Bryan's house. They were on his bed, kissing.

Then, Naomi asked Bryan a question. "Hey, why has Jake been acting so weird lately? Don't worry, Morgan already told me they're back together." He continued to tell Naomi the whole story.

"Oh, he cheated on Morgan. Slept with a sophomore... Jackie, I think."

Naomi left the room, going to tell her best friend.

~~~

Naomi knocked on Morgan's front door. Morgan let her inside. The two of them exchanged greetings and head upstairs to Morgan's room.

"Mor, I really need to tell you something," Naomi said.

"What is it?" Morgan said, her face shining with concern. Naomi had been acting weird lately. Was she about to tell Morgan why?

"Jake cheated on you. That's why he wants to keep you guys secret. So the girl he cheated with doesn't find out."

Morgan fell down on her bed and cried.

~~~

Anna would be going to school today, but she was suspended. For two weeks. But it's okay, because Arianna was suspended for a month. Ha! Anna laid down on her bed, ready to sleep in.

~~~

"Okay, Brenda," Tristan said. "I've given you a week to think about this. Are you going to marry me or not?"

"Tristan..." Brenda said.

"What?" Tristan said.

"You don't want to marry me."

"Brenda Simmera, I love you with all my heart," Tristan said. "Of course I want to marry you. You're sweet, and you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

"No," Brenda said. "We can't get married."

"Why?"

"I... I can't tell you."

"Fine," Tristan said. "Goodbye. For good."

He left, and slammed the door.

~~~

Gordan was after a man who was suspected to be a drug-dealer. He was at the bottom of an abyss in Bikini Top. This guy needed to be caught. Immediately. Gordan used some of his equipment to get to the bottom, and saw the man. The man was Hersht Gables. He was bald, like most fish, and he had black pupils. His eyes were as bloodshot as can be, and he was holding a gun.

"Back away, cop..." Hersht said.

Behind Hersht was a pile of drugs.

"No..." Gordan said. "I can't let you sell drugs."

Hersht fired the gun. It hit Gordan, and he fell down to the ground.

~~~

Bryan calls everyone, except Temperance. He didn't think they were friends anymore. He wished they were, but... she wouldn't return any of his calls. Time to paint the vomit-mobile. He had tons of sleek black paint, he just wanted his friends to be there. Calls were out. Time to paint.

Everyone arrived later.

"Hey," Trey said. He was the last to arrive.

"Hi," Bryan said. "Arianna's not coming?"

"Nope," Trey said. "She said she wasn't coming if Anna was."

Anna smiled.

Trey turned to Anna. "Do you know how much easier my life would be if you two would get along?"

"Do you know how much easier my life would be if that girl just dropped dead right now?"

Trey laughed.

They painted for two hours, then they took a break. It was time to confront her cheater of a boyfriend.

"So..." she said. "How's Jackie?"

"How did you find out about her?" Jake said.

"Tell me. Everything. Then maybe I'll tell you who told me."

"It was before we broke up... on the beach," Jake said. "Me and her just hooked up. We haven't been in contact since then."

"Eventually she's going to come looking for the guy who stole her virginity..." Morgan said.

"I guess so..." he said.

"Jake, what happened to you?" Morgan said. "You're suddenly so obssessed with sex. And you're just... an ass."

"Mor, I'm sorry."

"No, you're not," Morgan said. She slapped Jake, got in her boatmobile, and drove home.

Jake didn't know what happened. But... he decided it was for the best he told everyone that he and Morgan had been back together. And... tell them everything else.

"Knew it..." Trey said.

"Uh-huh," Anna agreed.

They got back to work, and soon the boatmobile was a great shade of black. Goodbye, vomit-mobile.

Everyone but Naomi leaves.

"Do you, um... want to take it for a test drive?" Bryan asked her.

She nodded.

They got in the boatmobile, and took a drive. After twenty minutes, Bryan pulled over.

"Naomi, I know you're doing drugs."

"I'm... not," she said.

"Then what's this?" Bryan held up her tube of lipstick. "You left it in my room when you rushed to tell Morgan about Jake's secret. I opened it, because I was curious. Guess what was in it? Not lipstick, Naomi! It was full of cocaine! To the top!"

"I... I.... Bryan, don't tell anyone," Naomi said.

"Okay..." he said. "But I think it's best that we break up."

"Oh..." Naomi said. "O...kay. Could you give me back my tube?"

"No..." Bryan said. "I can't. I know it probably won't help. But I'm not going to give it to you."

Naomi grabbed for it, but Bryan pulled back.

Naomi got out of his car, and Bryan drove away. Then, she found the car she was looking for. An old, beat-up car. She got in, and got a new tube of lipstick. With a tear in her eye, she smiled devilishly as she took the lipstick container, opened it, and used what was inside of it eagerly.

~~~

Bryan was on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. Suddenly, his phone rang. He didn't recognize the caller ID.

"Hello?" he said.

"Is this Bryan Errin?" a woman on the other line said.

"Yes, it is..." he said.

"This is Bikini Top Hospital..."

---

S1E10 (10)- Auditions: Previously on Bikini Top... If you missed the last episode of Bikini Top, you missed a lot... or more.... When looking for a girlfriend, Bryan turns his mind to the gorgeous Naomi, only to discover that life with her is much less than perfect when he look s inside her infamous tube of lipstick and spots her cocaine. He keeps it secret, but does not return the lipstick. The two break up. But before they do, Bryan tells Naomi about Jake's dirty little secret, and Naomi tells... Morgan. At school, Anna stirs up a bit of trouble with Arianna. To say the least, Anna is suspended from school for two weeks. And Arianna is also suspended... for a month. Ouch. And after Tristan's proposal to Brenda, she says she needs time to think. And after a while, like anyone normal would, Tristan wants an answer. And Brenda says she can't get married. But it's obvious she's hiding something. Tristan leaves her. For good... allegedly. Bryan's father Gordan is after a drug-dealer named Hersht. He travels to the bottom of an abyss, only to be shot by the suspect. When Bryan plans to paint his boatmobile black, everyone comes, except Temperance and Arianna. Temperance won't return his calls, and Arianna doesn't want to be around Anna. During the painting, Morgan confronts Jake about his lover, Jackie. She leaves, but not before slapping Jake. After that, Jake tells everyone about their secret relationship, and about him sleeping with Jackie. And in the phenomenal end of the episode, Naomi gets some more intense lipstick, and Bryan gets a call from the Bikini Top Hospital. What's going to happen next? You'll find out soon enough....

Naomi had a terrible headache. She went downstairs to get a little bit of Tylenol. Then she saw her Veera, who was sitting at the table, having a bowl of cereal.

"Happy Friday," Veera said.

"Um... happy Friday..." Naomi said. She didn't know why it was a happy Friday, but usually when her mother was happy, she had set up an audition for a commercial or a movie or something.

"So... they're having auditions for a new sitcom!" Veera said. "I have an appointment set up for you after school."

Of course.... "Great!" Naomi said with fake enthusiasm.

Veera left the room, and after eating a quick granola bar, Naomi scarfs down seven pills.

(Theme plays)

Morgan feels hurt... and betrayed... and alone. She doesn't even want to see Jake. He's such a bastard. What he did was... unforgivable. Oh... time for school. Who cares? She goes back to bed, then her conscience gets to her. She groans and stands up, getting ready for school.

~~~

Bryan woke up. He stretched his arms. He fell asleep on the couch in the waiting room of the hospital. Then the doctor came out, saying she had news for him. Bryan braced himself... he was sure it couldn't be good news. Before she told him, Bryan flashed back to the night before.

After getting a call from the hospital, Bryan rushed to the hospital. When he got there, they let him see his father, who was unconscious, and not in good health at the time. For a little bit he woke up, and smiled when he saw Bryan there.

He struggled to speak. "Hey, son."

Bryan blinked back a tear. "Hey, Dad."

"They don't think I'm gonna make it, bud..." Gordan said.

"Dad..." Bryan said, his voice cracking. God, he hated crying, but when your father is pretty much dead, it doesn't really matter much, does it?

"Bryan..." Gordan said.

Then, he went back into unconsciousness, and Bryan went to the waiting room.

"Your father... has passed on," the doctor said. "He was getting a little better, but there was some internal bleeding, and he lost too much blood."

Bryan put his head between his hands, remembering his father. Then he realized he didn't have many memories of him. And that's when he started crying.

~~~

The police were on the move, after Hersht, the guy who killed the Chief of Police. He was wanted, dead or alive.... Little did they know, they had already passed him.

~~~

Stealth. That was Hersht's greatest gift. Stealth. The police had passed him, in his abyss, but he was good at hiding. Then, when they left, he was packing, getting ready to hunt. Then after he was done hunting, he would go and find a new place to sell his merchandise. Suddenly, a sea monster came towards him. It sent a message to his head.

"Where do ya think you're goin'?" it said in Hersht's mind.

"I'm leaving..." Hersht said.

"Eh, eh, eh..." it said. "Not if I got anythin' to do with it."

The thing was at least fifteen feet tall, and it started charging towards Hersht. Hersht quickly got out of the way, jumped up, and killed the monster. Then, he jumped out of the abyss. He clapped his hands together. Just another day's work....

~~~

There was a certain issue with his father's death. Where would Bryan be going? Where would he be staying? He didn't want to go travel across the sea with Zoey and Zack... he wanted to stay in Bikini Top. But his father was the only relative he had there. But despite all the hurt, he drove to school. Then in homeroom, Jake sensed what was wrong.

"Where are you gonna go, now that your father has... passed?" he said. "I mean... who are you gonna stay with?"

"I really don't know," Bryan sighed.

"I'm saying this because..." Jake said. "Well... you're welcome to come stay with me. My parents... they wouldn't mind. And we have a spare bedroom."

"That's nice," said Bryan. "So unlike you."

~~~

At school that day, Naomi saw something interesting.

ATTENTION
ACTORS & ACTRESSES OF BIKINI TOP HIGH
PRODUCTION OF SPRING AWAKENING COMING
AUDITIONS TODAY
REQUIREMENTS: ACTING SKILL & SINGING ABILITY

Naomi didn't feel like going to another audition for a commercial that she wouldn't get. She was going to be in Spring Awakening. She could sing. She could act. Perfect.

~~~

After school that day, Jake took Bryan to his house. That's when Bryan saw Jake's parents for the first time. His mother was plump with short brown hair. His father, slim and tall with black hair and a few gray streaks. Both of them wore great, expensive clothes. That's when Bryan remembered. Bikini Top was a small town... but most residents were unbelievably rich.

"Hi, Jake!" his mother said. "Who's your friend?"

"This is Bryan..." Jake said with a smile.

Jake's mother stood up. "Hi, I'm Tori. Jake has told us so much about you."

Then Jake told his parents everything.

Jake's father Larry cleared his throat. "I suppose Bryan could stay here. If he wants, of course."

"I- I want, sir," Bryan said.

"Call me Larry," said Larry.

~~~

At the police station, they were naming the new Chief of Police. And it was Henry Riviera, a bald man with an everlasting intense look on his face. The only thing he said was, "Under my watch, we'll find that bastard who killed Chief Errin."

~~~

Anna was taking a drive. Then when she was exiting the town of Bikini Top and going into Coralwood, she saw a sign.

Now Leaving... Bikini Top
The Town of Song

That's what made her remember. The day at Zinka's Party Emporium. She loved to sing. And ever since she was suspended she had a lot of free time. So she was going to practice singing.

~~~

Naomi stepped into the auditorium. There stood the director of the play, Miss Walsh. She directed most of the school plays. She was stunningly beautiful.

"Hello, I'm Naomi Duncan..." Naomi said.

"Yeah, I know who you are," Miss Walsh said kindly.

"I'll be singing Mama Who Bore Me." She sang the song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvS3POd1YYI), and when she was done, Miss Walsh clapped. "How did I do?" Naomi asked.

"Let's just say you're the female lead," Miss Walsh said.

Then Morgan came to audition. She also sang Mama Who Bore Me. "And now I have a tough choice!" Miss Walsh said. "Sorry Naomi, but this is going to take some more thinking. I'll contact you girls when I make the decision."

Then Naomi did something that she would come to regret. She glared at her best friend in the entire sea resentfully.

~~~

Anna was sitting in her room, practicing her singing. She sang "Beat Control" by Tilly and the Wall (listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U-I48DdSTg). She jumped up and down when she finished. It was great!

~~~

Temperance got home from another dull day at school. Her mother was home... and Tristan was there too. Just yesterday Brenda was in tears because Tristan left and said he would never be back, because Brenda wouldn't marry him. Temperance had the feeling that there was a reason that her mother wouldn't marry the man that she was madly in love with... and she was about to learn it.

"I came for my ring," Tristan said, looking deeply hurt as he said it. That's when Temperance realized it... this guy wasn't so bad. And she used to think he wasn't attractive... but, she was wrong... to say the least. And he was nice. And funny. Why wouldn't her mother marry the guy?

"Um... before I give it to you... I need to tell you something. And now that Temperance is here, I'll say... since she has the right to know, as well." Brenda blinked back tears.

"Okay," Tristan said. "Shoot...."

"I can't have children."

"Oh." That bomb didn't have a very positive effect on Tristan. He was pretty taken aback.

"When I went to get tested for HIV, the doctor told me. But... he told me I had become infertile for whatever reason. He said it may be early menopause. Great, huh? Anyways... when he first told me I was like, 'Whatever... no big deal... I don't want kids.' But lately, especially when you proposed to me.... Damn it Tristan, I want to have a child with you. And... maybe I didn't want to marry you because my previous husband was unfaithful... but I do. I do want to marry you. If you're okay with me not being able to give you a baby."

Tristan took a minute, then he took the ring and walked out the door.

Brenda started crying.

"Oh Mom, I'm so sorry!" Temperance said when he left. She gave her mother a hug.

Then Tristan came back in, put the ring right on Brenda's finger, and pulled her into a passionate kiss. When it was over, Brenda said, "I want to adopt."

~~~

Naomi got back from school that day, to see Veera sitting on the couch. She'd been waiting for her.

"So... you didn't go to the audition for the show today..." she said.

"Yeah... sorry," Naomi said.

"Whatever..." Veera said. "You need to try harder."

"I think I have the lead in the school play," Naomi said.

"You didn't go to an audition for a SITCOM for an audition for THE SCHOOL PLAY and you don't EVEN KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE PART?" Veera said.

"Yep," said Naomi, and she pounced up to her bedroom, sporting a full tube of her lipstick.

~~~

("No Air" by Jordin Sparks plays during the montage [listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icv6DgZ-9O4])

Naomi gets a text from Morgan: "Dropping out of Spring Awakening. Congrats, Miss Female Lead. "

Temperance laying on her bed, feeling lonely, and staring at a certain contact on her cell phone: "BRYAN"

Bryan unpacks his things into his new bedroom at Jake's house, then stares at a portrait of Gordan... and looks at the text he got from him when he, Jake, and Trey were at the strip club.

Brenda stares at her new engagement ring, and Tristan comes in... moving into her house.

Hersht jumps down into a new abyss and sends out a text to all his regular customers.

Morgan kisses a random guy.

Arianna lays on her bed, bored to death.

Naomi sneaks out of her house to go to her dealer's new location.

Anna practices singing.

Jake knocks on Morgan's door, and she opens it, sees him, and slams the door in his face.

Jake gets home, and he and Bryan watch TV.

("Meet Me Halfway" by The Black Eyed Peas [listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi3Z1NESITA# ] plays throughout the scene)

Morgan gets a call from Jake. Like, the billionth call today. Yesterday she slammed the door in his face, blah blah blah! She was over him, and she was sick and tired of all his crap. He nailed a girl. He scored. Woohooooo. Typical guy. He didn't need her anymore. He had that whore, Jackie... and probably a bunch of other sluts knocking on his door. The phone stopped ringing. Good. He gave up. Anyways... the other night Morgan met Liam, a guy who understands her... and really likes her. Well... actually, she kissed him after saying 'Hi,' then she took him to her house, and in a drunken moment, lost her virginity to him. So, after all that crap that she and Jake had over sex, she gave it up to some random guy named Liam. That makes her feel just horrible. So now she wants to try to have a meaningful relationship with Liam. She decides to call him.

"Hello?" Liam said.

"Hi, it's Morgan," she said.

"Who?" Liam asked, sounding absolutely stumped.

"I... um... we had sex a week ago..." Morgan said.

"Oh..." Liam said. "Hold up, lemme see if I remember you...."

"What the hell?!" Morgan exclaimed.

"Excuse me?" Liam said.

"Does sex mean nothing to you?" Morgan asked.

"It's just sex. Hooking up. Gettin' down. Mating..." Liam said. "No big deal."

"It is a big deal, you son of a b!tch!" Morgan said. She then slammed her cell phone shut, and threw it at the wall. Damn it! She lost her virginity to some jerk, who looked at sex like it was "gettin' down"! What a load of CRAP! She gave everything she had to that manwhore. Is she some magnet that attracts assholes or something?

Suddenly, her phone rang again. This time, she saw that it was Jake.

"Hello?" she said, clearly crying.

"Hey..." Jake said. "Are you okay, Mor?"

"No," she sniffled.

"I'm on my way," Jake said.

(Theme plays)

After planning a funeral for a week, the funeral is tomorrow. Finally. Bryan is ready to stop thinking about his father, and get on with his life. He walks down the stairs of his new home.

Tori and Larry, Jake's parents (his new foster parents) were waiting for him.

"Hello, Bryan," Tori said. "We wanted to talk to you before you went to do... whatever it is you do on a Friday when there's no school."

"Okay, what do you wanna talk about? Bryan asked, and sat down on the couch.

"We were worried about you," Tori said.

"Why?" Bryan said.

"Your father is dead, dear," Tori said.

"Yes..." Bryan said.

"You don't seem sad at all," Larry said. "It's okay to let it out. It's not good for you to hold in your emotions the way we suspect that you have been doing. It's more than anyone can handle. The loss of a parent is a traumatizing thing. Anyone has the right to be upset. To blame someone. You don't seem angry that the person who shot him still hasn't been shot. You don't seem upset that you'll never get to see your father's face again. You don't seem upset that you'll never come downstairs and say 'Good morning,' to your father again. You don't seem upset that when you were just getting to know your father, he was shot and killed. You should be upset."

"I appreciate the concern and everything," Bryan said. "So, thanks... but... no thanks."

~~~

Jake parked his boatmobile in Morgan's driveway, then walked inside. Her parents weren't home, as always... for some reason. Work kept them busy. He went up, ready to talk to his ex-girlfriend about whatever it is that made her so upset.

("Will You Remember Me" by April Matson [listen here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuxAxKBpsTk ] plays throughout the scene)

"Hey," Jake said.

"What the hell do you want?" Morgan asked.

"Why the hell are you cursing?" Jake asked.

"Oh, no reason.... Just the loss of my precious virtue."

"What?" Jake asked.

"God's greatest gift that he has bestowed upon us... that thing that you should have with you until marriage... a gift you can give to your husband on your wedding night..." she said.

"Spit it out..." Jake kidded, though he now understood what she was talking about.

"My damn virginity!" she said, then she pulled her abstinence ring off of her finger, and threw it at her wall.

"Oh."

"Yeah," she said. She leaned on Jake's shoulder and started crying.

"It's gonna be okay, Morgan," Jake said.

"No! No, it's not gonna be okay," she said. "I had sex with this random Liam guy, and to him it's no big deal. At all. To him it's mating. To him it's gettin' down. To him it's just hooking up! To me... it's everything. I gave him God's most wonderful gift to me and he doesn't give a damn. I probably wasn't his first. I was probably his hundredth or something."

"Morgan, I'm so sorry that happened to you," Jake said. "I... really don't know what to say."

"You should be sorry. You caused this!" Morgan said.

"I didn't make you crawl into bed with a manwhore..." Jake replied.

"I guess you're right..." she sighed. "I'm sorry for blaming you, Jake. You know... you really are a great guy. Even with all this Jackie crap going on."

"I really am sorry. For cheating on you," Jake said.

"It's okay," she said. "But... you're not off the hook."

"Of course not," Jake smiled. Then, he saw Morgan, looking right into his eyes. She started leaning in, close to him. He put his lips out, and kiss her. He's missed kissing her. It feels right. Like their lips should never stop touching. But, everything has to come to an end eventually, unfortunately.

"No..." Morgan said.

"What?" Jake said.

"I can't do this," Morgan said. "I can't come back to you. Not after what you did to me. Do you know how much pain you caused me?"

"Yes, I do know. And I'm sorry for that," Jake said. "But I still think we can give us another chance. I honestly love you, Morgan."

"Well I don't love you." Morgan looked down at the floor. "Thanks for kind of cheering me up. But... I think it's best if you leave."

"Fine..." Jake said. He slammed the door, and went to his boatmobile. He got in the front seat, and banged his head against the steering wheel.

~~~

"Bye, Mom!" Temperance said.

"Where are you going?" Brenda asked.

"Oh, to Gordan Errin's funeral," Temperance said.

"I thought things with you and Bryan were still pretty shaky," Brenda said. "But you're still going to his father's funeral?"

"Well yeah, things are pretty crazy." Temperance nodded. "But I still feel like I should be there for him, you know? We've been friends for a long time. Way before that stupid kiss ever happened. Plus, I knew Gordan. I want to be there... to say goodbye."

"Well I'm glad you're being mature about this," Brenda said.

"Plus, I know what it's like to lose a father," Temperance said. "I think I can help him get through this."

"Just don't go looking for some sort of romance," Brenda said. "I doubt Bryan wants that. Especially now that his father is dead and everything."

"Okay..." Temperance said. "So have they caught that Hersht guy yet?"

"Nope," Brenda said. "He's still on the loose."

"Oh..." Temperance said. "So what are ya doing today?"

"Nothing... just going to the adoption agency," Brenda replied. "They want to see if our funds are stable enough to adopt. And if I will be a 'fit parent.'"

"Well I'm sure they'll think that you're a fit parent, Mom," Temperance smiled. "Is there a chance you'll bring my brother or sister home today?"

"Nope," Brenda said. "Not for a few weeks."

"Well, I can't wait," Temperance said. "I'm really sorry you can't have kids, Mom. I'm glad you're finding a way to deal with it."

"Temperance, it's not your fault I'm infertile," Brenda said. "It really is no one's fault. But yeah, I'm finding a way to deal with it. And, um... you need to find a way to deal with Bryan rejecting you, okay? You have this hope that it will happen... but I don't think it will. I know it hurts. You're in denial, just like I was in denial when I found out your father was cheating on me. Just like I was in denial when I found out that I was not able to have children. And I got over it. And you can get over this. I know you can. You've been in this funk ever since it happened. And it's been months. You really just have to get over it. And I really am glad to see that you're starting to. You don't know how glad I am to see you, my daughter, happy again. It caused me so much pain to see you, always so upset, and so distant. And you were ignoring everyone."

"But I'm over that," Temperance said.

"And I'm glad you are. So glad, honey," Brenda said. "But... is going to that funeral worth reopening old wounds? Now that you're finally getting out of that funk?"

"Don't worry, Mom," Temperance assured Brenda. "I'll be fine. I just want to be there for Bryan when he needs me. You know, when he needs a friend."

"Okay," Brenda said. "Have fun."

"At a funeral?" Temperance joked, then walked out the door.

~~~

Everyone was there. Everyone except Jake. There was Morgan, Naomi, Anna, Trey, Arianna (why was she there?), Temperance, his dad's friends, everyone from the police station, tons of people from school. Where in the hell was his foster brother? Then, he saw him.

Jake was stepping out of his boatmobile with a girl with short red hair and hazel eyes. Jake walked up to Bryan and said, "This is Jackie."

"You mean, the Jackie?" Bryan said.

Jake nodded.

"Um, Jackie, can I talk to Jake alone for a second?" Bryan asked.

"Sure," Jackie said, and walked away.

"What is she doing here?" Bryan said.

"Well, she's my girlfriend," Jake said.

"What?" Bryan asked.

"Well, I was sick of all the Morgan drama, so I decided I should be with Jackie. I told her that on the way here, told her to dress in some black clothes, and she came with me, after we made out a little," Jake explained.

"There's something wrong with you," Bryan concluded.

"Shut up, man," Jake said.

At a different part of the cemetery, Morgan and Anna were talking.

"Can you believe he brought her?" they said in unison.

"Who are you talking about?" Morgan asked.

"Who are you talking about?" Anna asked.

"I'm talking about Jake. He brought Jackie!" Morgan said.

"Oh. Well... I'm talking about Trey. He brought Arianna!" Anna said.

"What is wrong with men?" Morgan asked.

"I have no idea..." Anna said.

"I think you should tell Trey you hate Arianna," Morgan suggested.

"He knows," Anna said. "I don't know why he's with that b!tch...."

"Maybe he just loves her," Morgan said. "Just like, no matter what Jake does, I still love him, just the same. It's the messed up thing about love. It never goes away."

"I don't think he loves her..." Anna said. "Do you think they've had sex?"

"I don't know," Morgan said. "But that's really none of our business, is it?"

"I guess not..." Anna said. "Should I tell him I like him?"

"Does he know?" Morgan asked.

"Well, yeah..." Anna said. "But maybe if I told him again, he'd choose me instead of Arianna."

"I doubt it, Anna," Morgan said. "If he likes you back, he'll come to you. I'm sure he will. You know him and Arianna aren't going to last, so just wait until they crash and burn. Then, after that, of course you and Trey will be together. But for now, just... leave it alone."

"But I can't do that," Anna said.

"Why?" Morgan asked.

"I think I love him," Anna said.

"Really?" Morgan asked.

"Yeah..." Anna said.

("Love Song" by Sara Bareilles [listen here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGUe6eOUNag&feature=related ] plays)

She walked over to Trey when Arianna went to go get a cup of water.

"Trey, I think I love you," she spat out.

Trey's mouth hung open for a moment or two. "Um, what?"

"I think I love you," she repeated.

"Say that again..." Trey said.

"I think I love you," she said a third time.

"That's great, Anna," Trey said. "Because I think I love you, too." He wrapped his arms around her, and hugged her tightly. Then, they kissed.

Arianna walked over. "Trey, what the hell are you doing?" she asked.

"Arianna, I'm sorry to do this," Trey said. "But... I need to be with Anna."

"Damn it, Trey!" Arianna screamed. "How dare you do this to me!"

"Could you leave, B!tchzilla?" Anna said. "No one wants you here...."

"Screw you, Anna!" Arianna yelled. Then she looked across the cemetery and screamed, "SCREW ALL OF YOU!" She started running home.

At another part of the cemetery, Temperance was looking longingly at Bryan. She decided to go against her mother's advice and confront Bryan about her feelings for him. She walked over to him. "Bryan, I just wanted you to know I'm done being mad at you."

"Finally..." Bryan grunted, jokingly.

"And, I wanted to say, I still really like you... more than in the 'Just Friends' way," she said.

"I think I like you in that way, too, actually," Bryan said.

"Really?" Temperance asked.

"Really," Bryan replied. He kissed Temperance fiercely.

Standing alone, Morgan was now really angry. Two new couples, now standing right in front of her. But Jake was still with Jackie. She was definitely going to go talk to him about it, seeing what that can do now.

"Jackie, can I talk to Jake for a second?" Morgan asked.

"Sure, everyone seems to want to, anyways..." Jackie said, sounding just a bit aggravated.

"Jake, I want to be with you," Morgan said once Jackie was gone.

"Yeah, well I'm done with all of this drama, Morgan," Jake said. "I want to be with Jackie. Not you. With you, it's fight after fight. I think with Jackie, it will be simple."

"And what if it's not?" Morgan asked.

"I don't care," he said. "I'm sorry, Morgan."

"Whatever..." she said.

("Love Song" stops playing)

Later, Anna went to talk to Morgan. Naomi came with her this time.

"You okay?" Naomi asked her.

"Yeah," she said. "I guess so."

"You sure?" Anna asked.

"Yeah," Morgan said. "How are you, Anna?"

"Oh, you know... great... on top of the world..." she chuckled gleefully. "This is such a great day!"

"You do realize we're at a funeral, right?" Naomi said.

"Oh!" Anna shrieked. "I mean... how could I feel this great at a funeral? I'm so embarrassed now.... Thanks a lot, Naomi." She stuck her tongue out.

Hersht stares at Gordan's headstone and mouths the word, "Sorry."

Arianna throws things across her room.

"What is this place?" Patrick asked.

"It's Bikini Top, you nincompoop," Squidward said. "That small town right next to Coralwood. Ah, Coralwood...." A twinkle is clearly visible in Squidward's eye.

"Oh great," Sandy said. "I let you idiots come with me on business--"

"--and they forced me to come, against my will," Squidward interrupted.

Sandy cleared her throat. "I let you idiots come with me on business, then when I had to go to the Little Squirrel's Room, I decided to let SpongeBob drive, and we crash in Bikini Top."

"I'm sorry Sandy," SpongeBob frowned.

"Aw shucks," Sandy said. "It's okay, SpongeBob."

"Now that we're done with the sweet-ish moment..." Squidward said, "can we find a place to stay? In case you haven't noticed, the ground is covered in snow."

"You're right!" Patrick said, and promptly threw a giant snowball right at Squidward's face.

"You idiot!" Squidward shrieked.

"SNOWBALL FIGHT!" SpongeBob declared, and started scooping up tons of snowballs.

"Well, this should be fun," Sandy sighed.

"Good morning," Jake said cheerfully as he saw Bryan wake up.

"No, it's not a good morning," Bryan said. "Go away."

"What's wrong?" Jake asked.

"What's wrong?" Bryan asked. "In case you haven't noticed, my dad is dead."

"Yeah, and I thought you were fine with it," Jake said.

"Yeah, so did I," Bryan said. "But I was wrong. Now leave me the hell alone. It's Sunday, and I want to sleep in."

~~~

Temperance woke to the sound of a baby crying. Her mother, a heavy sleeper, wasn't woken by it, and Tristan didn't live there. So she had to get Alexandria. But oh well. It's all good. Because she's dating Bryan. Ha! She loves dating Bryan. Last night was the best night of her entire life.

She grabbed Alex from her crib, and got her bottle from the fridge. Later, Alex fell asleep again. She decided to call Bryan, and see what's up in her new boyfriend's life.

"Hello?" Bryan said, sounding very serious.

"Hey!" Temperance said. "What's up in Bryan's world?"

"Death." He hung up.

That's strange.... Temperance decided.

~~~

Morgan woke up, feeling bored, and upset. Jake said he was sick of drama. Well she was sick of the drama too. She didn't need him. She didn't want him. Okay, maybe she wanted him, but whatever. She could get over him. She just had to try. Maybe a slumber party with the girls would help. She could invite Anna and Naomi, and Bryan's new girlfriend Temperance, and to be nice... Jake's new whore... or, girlfriend, Jackie. It would be fun. She made the phone calls.

~~~

It's time for Morgan's slumber party, and Naomi is driving there, and she feels woozy after drinking a few too many, and using her lipstick tube. Her boatmobile starts swerving, and she hits a large tree really hard, stopping her boatmobile, and knocking her out.

~~~

Morgan, Anna, Temperance, and Jackie are sitting there, wondering when Naomi will be arriving at the slumber party.

"Maybe she's not coming," Anna suggested.

"No," Morgan said. "I know Naomi, and she wouldn't flake like that."

They sat there, waiting, and starting to worry as an hour passes.

~~~

SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Sandy were walking by, when they saw what happened to Naomi. They saw her, her boatmobile starting to catch on fire. She's covered in blood.

"Oh no!" Patrick shrieks.

Sandy and Squidward lift Naomi out of the car, and grab her cell phone as it falls out of her pocket. Her lipstick tube also falls to the ground, cocaine falling all across the ground.

"Not good..." Squidward said.

Then, Naomi breathed in Squidward's face. Her breath reeked of alcohol.

"Great," Squidward said. "She's drunk, and stoned."

"We need to call an ambulance," Sandy decided, and she did so. Then, she decided to call the last person that this girl had called. It was a girl named Morgan. She called her.

"Naomi, where the hell are you?" Morgan asked when she answered the phone.

"This is Sandy Cheeks, we found your friend Naomi, she's bleeding and her boatmobile is in flames. We've called an ambulance, and it's on its way, we just thought you might like to know. This was the last number she dialed. Oh, and when we found her, she was intoxicated, and under the influence of concaine."

"Oh my, God!" Morgan yelled. "We'll be right at Bikini Top Hospital. Could you describe what you look like, just so I know you when I see you?"

"Well, I'm a squirrel," Sandy said.

"Oh..." Morgan said. "So I guess you won't be too hard to find."

~~~

"Bryan, Naomi is in the hospital," Jake said. "We have to go and see if she's okay."

"Why should I?" Bryan said.

"Well, she's our friend and your ex-girlfriend, who I know you still care about, even if you are going out with Temperance now," Jake said.

"Yes, of course I still care about her..." Bryan sighed.

"So are you coming or not, Sir Dread?" Jake asked.

"Meh, I don't think so..." Bryan said. "Tell me how she is later."

"No!" Jake said. " You're my foster-brother, and I really don't like seeing you like this. I'm getting my parents, and we're going to get you a therapist."

"No way in hell, Jake," Bryan said.

"Then all you need to do is come with me to the hospital to see how Naomi is doing," Jake said. "I've been with you all day, hoping you'll cheer up, and you haven't even gotten out of bed. I've been bringing meals up to you. And you haven't showered. You literally stink. So get up!"

"Fine," Bryan said.

"Now take a quick shower, and we're going to the hospital," Jake said.

~~~

("Shut Up And Drive" by Rihanna [listen here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPlnHhOHc9k ] plays)

Morgan, Anna, Temperance, and Jackie are on their way to the hospital.

"How did she crash her car?" Anna asked.

"She was drunk, and she was on cocaine!" Morgan yelled. "My best friend, the druggie."

"Don't say that, Morgan," Temperance said.

"Yeah, she's your BFF," Jackie said.

"You two shut up, I barely know who you are," Morgan said. "I don't even know your last names."

"Simmera," Temperance said.

"Nelson," Jackie said.

The two shared a fist bump.

"So, did you know she was using?" Anna asked.

"Of course I suspected," Morgan replied. "I mean, she was always so out of it. I always caught her putting eyedrops in her eyes. Her eyes were always bloodshot...."

"Why are you saying 'were?'" Temperance said. "Naomi is still alive, you know. She's not dead. And since she is using drugs, what she needs right now is friends, to help her stop."

"Why do you think she started using?" Jackie asked.

"Her mom was a raging lunatic," Morgan said. "Well, not a lunatic. But as Naomi said, 'She's desperate to be Dina Lohan, and made her suffer for every moment that she's not.' Her mom wanted to be Naomi to be a star, because she wanted to be a star. And Naomi was stressed to the max. I think the family was having some money troubles."

"That could cause her to turn to drugs..." Jackie said. "My aunt, she developed an addiction to PHP. She OD'd, and it killed her."

"Oh," Morgan said. "I'm sorry to hear that."

"Yeah, we were pretty close," Jackie said. "Her and my uncle got divorced, and she turned to PHP. She used it whenever she possibly could. My mom noticed, and she tried to get her to stop. It didn't work. My aunt only got angry at my mom, her sister. I tried talking to her, and... she abused me. So I stayed away from her. Two months later, she died."

"That sucks..." Morgan said.

"Yeah, thanks..." Jackie said.

"Um... Jackie, I have to say something," Morgan said.

"What?" Jackie said.

"I kinda hated you," Morgan announced.

"Uh.... What do you mean?" Jackie asked.

("Shut Up And Drive" stops playing)

"Well, as you know, me and Jake were going out when you and Jake... well, you know," Morgan said.

"Oh, Morgan..." Jackie said. "I'm not some slut. I didn't know Jake had a girlfriend. He started flirting with me, and we wound up in bed. I regret it, a lot. Sometimes I cried myself to sleep because of it. But now, I feel like it's okay, because me and Jake are in a meaningful relationship. But, he told me about the two of you and everything that happened, and everything that us having sex had caused. He just told me last night. I honestly had no idea, Morgan. If I did know, I wouldn't have slept with Jake. I'm not the Anti-Christ, just a stupid, confused little sophmore."

"I know that now," Morgan said. "It's okay. I totally forgive you. I even think we can be friends."

"Really?" Jackie asked with a smile.

"Of course," Morgan said. "You know... you're pretty cool, Nelson."

"Thanks," Jackie grinned widely. "I'd love to be friends with you, Morgan."

"Now there are three friends in the boatmobile..." Temperance said. "Am I accepted into this little group, or is Bryan's girlfriend gonna be shunned?"

"Of course you're not gonna be shunned," Anna said. "We're all friends here, right?"

"Right," Jackie said. "Now can we hurry up? I'd like to see if our fifth friend is okay."

~~~

SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Sandy were in a taxi, following the ambulance to Bikini Top Hospital.

"So, how are we going to get to Science Bottom?" Sandy asked.

"Excuse me, Sandy," Squidward said. "But shouldn't our first priority be to get back to Bikini Bottom?"

"I reckon you're right, Squidward," Sandy said. "But for now, we do need to see if this Naomi girl will be okay."

"Why do we care?" Squidward asked.

"Because we're not all heartless monsters like you, Squidward," Sandy said.

"Right!" SpongeBob and Patrick said in unison. Then, their hearts started visibly pounding, and SpongeBob ripped his out of his chest to show Squidward.

"Oh, DISGUSTING!" Squidward yelled.

"Sorry..." SpongeBob said, and put his heart back in.

"Here we are," Sandy said. She paid the taxi driver, and the four of them got out of the car, and ran into Bikini Top Hospital.

"You must be Sandy," Morgan said as soon as they walked in.

"Yep," Sandy said, and the two shook hands.

"How is she?" Squidward asked.

"They said she'll pull through," Anna replied. "Comatose, though."

"Great..." Patrick said, beginning to feel depressed. He sat down, and started slumping down in a chair, frowning.

"It's okay, Pat," SpongeBob said. "She's gonna be okay."

"Why are you so depressed about a person you don't even know?" Squidward asked.

"Because apparently, he's not a heartless assface like a certain octopus I'm looking at..." Temperance said.

"HA!" Sandy said. She turned to Temperance and said, "I like you, kid."

"Thanks," Temperance said, and her and Sandy shook hands.

~~~

"We should stop at Trey's house," Bryan said as he and Jake were driving to the hospital.

"Yeah, you're right," Jake said.

They picked him up.

"Where we goin'?" Trey asked casually.

"The hospital," Jake said.

"Um... what?!" Trey said.

~~~

Hersht was laying down in his abyss, crying. Why did it have to be this way? Why did he have to kill that stupid police officer? It was killing him. But his superiors... they practically owned him. They would kill him if he didn't follow orders. First, they made him start selling drugs. Then they made him throw a boulder at some random guy. Then they made him tear down the Bikini Top Bridge. And then... shoot Gordan Errin. Why? WHY?! He felt like a monster. Damn it, he was a monster.

~~~

Bryan, Jake, and Trey arrived at the hospital, to see Morgan, Anna, Temperance, Jackie, SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Sandy there.

Morgan quickly explained everything.

"I knew..." Bryan said.

"What?" Morgan asked, not believing what he had said.

"It's why we broke up," Bryan explained. "I found this tube full of coke, and confronted her. She told me not to tell anyone."

"And since you listened to her, she's in a coma right now!" Morgan yelled. "Screw you, Bryan!" She stomped on his foot, and walked to the other side of the lobby.

Jackie started to look anxious. "Hey, Jake, can we talk?" she asked.

"Sure..." he said. She led him outside the hospital doors. "Um, what's so important we have to stand out here in the cold?" he said, starting to become nervous.

"Jake, I'm pregnant," she said.

---

S1E13 (13)- Not a Winter Wonderland: Previously on Bikini Top... Bikini Bottomites are in Bikini Top! Hersht feels guilty for what he's done, but he has no choice. Naomi wrecks her boatmobile while high and drunk, but the Bikini Bottomites take her to the hospital, where she slips into a coma. Morgan blames Bryan. Morgan and Jackie are friends. Which is a good thing... because Jackie announces that she's got a bun in the oven!

Bryan wakes up. He feels good. It's a Friday. It's been about a week since the whole Naomi incident, and Jake has been distant, along with Morgan completely avoiding him. But him and Temperance have been together a lot lately. They see each other all the time, do a little kissing... it's pretty great. And today is the last day of school before Christmas Break. Bryan loves Christmas. But, who doesn't, right? Too bad that Bryan's Christmas of 2009 won't be so wonderful.

(Theme plays)

Morgan's sitting there, right next to Naomi's hospital bed, dressed and ready for school. If she's gonna make it, she's gonna have to leave soon. What upsets her the most is that Veera hasn't come once to visit her daughter. It was sickening. Naomi was in a coma and her own mother wasn't even coming to see her. It totally blew her mind. It was crazy. But, Morgan couldn't wrap her mind around it because she knew her parents wanted her. They adopted her. They chose her. But maybe Naomi didn't feel that way. Maybe, just maybe, Morgan thought, that's why she used cocaine. But she should have come to Morgan to talk, to prevent all this from happening. Of course, she did tell Bryan, but what's he good for? Suddenly, her phone was ringing. It was Jackie.

"Hello?" Morgan said.

"Hey, Morgan," Jackie said.

"What's up?" Morgan asked.

"I need a ride to school," Jackie said. "Pick me up?"

"On my way," Morgan replied. Little did Morgan know that Jackie was about to drop a bomb on her that could potentially end their budding friendship.

~~~

A million thoughts were going through Jake's head. But mostly- How in the hell could this happen to him? He wore protection. He should have made sure she was on the pill. But no, no questions, they barely said five sentences to each other before taking their clothes off. And now, she was carrying his child. Should he tell someone? What were they going to do? Keep it? Put it up for adoption? It was too late in the game for abortion, so that wasn't on the table, not that he'd even consider that. And all this just made him hate himself even more for cheating on Morgan. He was the scum of the sea. He deserved to be left on the surface to die. He got a girl pregnant, while he was dating another girl. How great is that. He flashed back to that night, six days ago.

"I'm pregnant," Jackie said, and leaned on her boyfriend's shoulder.

"What?" Jake asked, hoping that maybe, just maybe, he had misunderstood what she was trying to say.

"I'm pregnant," Jackie said.

"What?" Jake repeated.

"I'm having a baby. Your baby," Jackie explained.

"You can't be serious," Jake said.

Then, Jackie lifted up her shirt to reveal a bloated stomach, obviously a baby bump, well hidden by her heavy winter jacket.

"Oh..." Jake said. He then threw up on the ground.

"Oh. Great," Jackie said, and started to wipe away tears from her face.

"Why are you crying?" Jake said.

"Because, 1, you just puked when I told you I'm expecting you're child," she said. "And, 2, I am Hormone Central right now, so excuse me if I'm also Miss Moodswing."

"Okay... have you told your parents?" Jake asked, desperate to change the subject.

"Of course not," she said. "I don't know what to do."

Jake wrapped his arms around her. "Shh. It's all gonna be okay. We'll figure out what to do," he assured her.

It was surreal. He didn't know if he was ecstatic, or terrified. His child was growing inside of her. He was seventeen, and soon, he was going to be a father. He did the math in his head, and calculated that she is... four months pregnant. From what he knew, most pregnancies last for about nine months, giving him just five months to prepare for fatherhood. What was he gonna do? This was the biggest, worst thing that had ever happened to him. But then, it hit him. Why was it a bad thing? He was going to be a father! A father, for the love of God. That's not a curse. Fatherhood is a blessing. And after everything he'd been through all year,

~~~

Morgan pulled in front of Jackie's house, and Jackie immediately ran into the car, looking very anxious. Morgan wondered what was going on.

"Hey," Morgan said. "Are you okay?"

"No," Jackie said. "Not at all, actually."

"Why?" Morgan asked.

"I... um... have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I'm carrying your ex-boyfriend's baby."

~~~

Anna was getting ready for school. On Monday she had come back after suspension. Arianna had left her alone, and that's how she liked it. During suspension, she got great at singing. When she saw that she had a few minutes to spare, she started singing "Fireflies" by Owl City [listen here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwVeC7VeJYE ]. She gets about halfway through the song when Trey climbs through her window, and touches her shoulder. She jumps, and he laughs. She slaps him playfully.

"You're great," Trey said. "I didn't know you could sing."

"You call that singing?" Anna said. "I suck."

"No, you don't," Trey assured her. "Finish the song."

"No," she said. "You don't have to listen to me sing."

"I want to," he said, and he kissed her.

"Fine," she said. She finished the song.

Trey clapped. "Amazing," he said. "We need to tell everyone how good you are at singing. You, Morgan, and Naomi could all sing together. You could start a band!"

"No," she said. "No, no, no, no, no."

"Why?" Trey asked.

"Singing was just... something I did to stop myself from dying of boredom while I was suspended. Just a little hobby, 'Fireflies' was probably the last song I'll ever sing," she said.

"It can't be," Trey said. "If it makes you feel better, I'll sing a song with you."

Anna laughed. "Right now?"

"Right now," Trey said.

"Okay, you start," Anna said.

"What if you don't know the words?" Trey asked.

"Don't worry," Anna said. "I'll know the words."

Trey starts singing "Light On" by David Cook [listen here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS-movP04Lw&feature=related ]. Anna sings along. Both of them laugh when the song is over, and share a passionate kiss. Then, they realize that they're going to be late for school if they don't hurry, so Trey gives Anna a ride to school.

~~~

"You can't be pregnant, Jackie," Morgan said.

"Well, I am," Jackie said. "So I'm going to have to quit Cheerleading. And my mom and dad will probably kick me out. Where am I supposed to go then? And I know it would be practical to give the baby up for adoption, but I just don't think I can do that. I think I need to keep him or her."

"I'm so sorry this is happening to you," Morgan said.

"Yeah..." Jackie said, and started to cry.

"It's gonna be okay," Morgan assured her. "And if worst comes to worst and your parents do kick you out when you tell them, you're more than welcome to stay with me at my house."

"Really?" Jackie asked, wiping away the tears.

"Really," Morgan said.

"Thank you so much," Jackie said.

"Who have you told?" Morgan asked.

"Just you and Jake," Jackie replied.

"Oh," Morgan said. "One more thing, though."

"What?" Jackie asked.

"You're not gonna be able to hide this much longer," Morgan said. "So after school today, me, you, and Jake are going to your house, and you have to tell your parents."

"Morgan, no," Jackie started to cry again.

Morgan held her hand and said, "Yes. Jackie, we have to. I'm sure it'll be okay."

~~~

Hersht knew that he had a beating coming. His superiors had told him to set fire to the Errin household, the home of the man he had killed. He hadn't done it. So one of his superiors must be coming. And suddenly, there stood Astenias Jurientia.

"Hello, Mr. Gables," Astenias said, and punched Hersht right across the face before he could even raise his hand to say hello. "Now, we gave you a job, you must fulfill it."

"No," Hersht said. "I'm sick of this."

"Excuse me!" Astenias said, and he pushed Hersht down, and kicked him in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. "Now, we gave you a job. If you value your life, you will not fail to fulfill it. You have one more chance."

"NO!" Hersht shouted.

Astenias pounced, and he and Hersht were fighting fiercely.

Suddenly, a sexy girl with curly brown hair and splitting brown eyes came down. "Leave," she hissed.

"And who in the hell are you?" Astenias asked mockingly.

"Jordin," the girl said. "Jordin Blake. Now I ask you to leave, or my family can join us."

"Fine," Astenias said. "I suppose I'll have to do the job myself."

"NO!!!!!!!!" Hersht yelled, but Astenias had already jumped out of the abyss.

~~~

Last class of the day. The clock was ticking. Bryan started tapping his foot in anticipation. Mrs. Miera continued her lecture on Albert Fishstein and the advances he made in science. Oh, he's so important, blah blah blah. The dude is dead, lady, shut up about him. He sat in class, practically falling asleep, when the bell finally rang. School's out. WOOOOOO! 2 whole weeks of no school. Awesome. And he just had to go by his old house to get his stuff and prepare the house so he can sell it.

~~~

Bryan arrived at his house, ready to prepare the house. When he arrived, he saw his house on fire. He screamed. He saw an old fish with wavy white hair and blood-red eyes running from the house. Arson. What in the hell was going on, and why did everything happen to him? He got the feeling that there was more to the story about his father's death. And he was determined to get to the bottom of it, no matter what. Hopefully his friends could help.

~~~

"So, when we went to see that Naomi girl today she looked like she was getting better," Sandy said. "Maybe we can get to Science Bottom after Christmas.

"No," SpongeBob said.

"What?" Sandy asked.

"I like it here," SpongeBob said. "We're staying in Bikini Top."

"He's right," Squidward said. "This place is great. They offer music lessons here, and when I'm done with them, I can go to Coralwood, and I might get my big break!"

"And, I can get a job at the Smoothie Shack!" SpongeBob said. "Smoothies are the new Krabby Patty!"

"And I like it here!" Patrick said.

"Why?" Sandy asked.

"I don't know!" Patrick said. "Um... because I... can get a job at the Smoothie Shack. Smoothies are the new Krabby Patty!"

"Patrick," Squidward said, "that's the reason SpongeBob wants to stay."

"I'm still getting a job there..." Patrick said.

"Can we stay, Sandy?" Patrick asked. "Please?"

"Please?" SpongeBob asked.

"Please?" Squidward asked.

"Fine," Sandy said. "I'd like to be the new Science teacher at Bikini Top High School."

"Woohoo!" SpongeBob and Patrick said, and jumped for joy.

"Yippee," Squidward said, almost robotically.

~~~

Morgan, Jake, Anna, and Trey were all visiting Naomi together. Jake, Anna, and Trey were trying to talk some sense into Morgan about the whole Bryan thing.

"He didn't know it would come to this," Anna said.

"That doesn't excuse him not telling us," Morgan said. "It's totally irresponsible, and when he didn't tell us, he was being a horrible friend to us, and to Naomi. It was his duty to her to tell us so it didn't come to this. He could have prevented this entire debacle."

"He was only doing what Naomi asked him to do," Trey said. "That's not being a horrible friend. That's being a good one, and respecting Naomi's wishes."

"Whatever..." Morgan said. To prevent anyone from saying anything else, she sang "Jingle Bell Rock" to Naomi, who was still in a coma. When she was done, her and her friends, joined hands, most of them crying a little bit, and sang "Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland" together.

Morgan looked at her watch, and realized it was time to go to Jackie's house with Jake, and tell her parents about her pregnancy. Everyone said bye, and she and Jake got in the car, neither ready to do what it is they were about to do. They were both extremely nervous. They knocked on the door, and Jackie's dad Michael opened the door. He invited the two of them in, knowing they were 'friends of Jackie.' They went up to Jackie's room, where they saw her, laying on her bed, bawling her eyes out.

"Hey, Jackie," Morgan said.

"I'm ready," Jackie said, actually sounding confident.

"Are you sure?" Jake asked her.

Jackie didn't answer. She just walked down the stairs, and her friends followed her. Her mother and father were sitting on the couch together, watching TV.

"Mom, Dad," Jackie said, "there's something I want to tell you."

"What?" Jackie's mom, Sarah, asked.

"I'm pregnant," Jackie said. "And Jake is the father."

"You must be kidding," Michael said. "That just can't be. You're my little girl, not some two cent whore. You aren't having sex."

"I had sex once, and here it is..." Jackie said, and showed her mother and father her baby bump.

Sarah started to tear up. "Judging by the size of the bump, I'm guessing it's too late for an abortion."

"Even if it wasn't, I wouldn't kill my child," Jackie said. "That's just so... wrong."

"Well if it's too late for an abortion, I want you out of my house. Now," Michael said. "I don't want some pregnant slut living under my roof."

"So you're kicking me out because I'm not your little girl anymore?" Jackie yelled. "You're kicking me out because I made one mistake? Because I had sex once and was so unlucky that I got pregnant from just that one time having sex? Well that's really great parenting, Dad."

"You shut the hell up right now," Michael said.

"You can't talk to her like that," Morgan said.

"You shut up," Michael said. "I'm sure you're some sort of hoe as well."

"Hey!" Jake yelled.

"Out of my house, ALL OF YOU!" Michael yelled.

"Mrs. Filmore, can't you do something?" Morgan cried.

"No," Jackie said. "She won't even bother. She's too worried that it could ruin the perfect little world she lived in. The fake little world where there are no problems."

Sarah just sat there, while her daughter cried her eyes out, pleading for her mother to do something.

"Dad, all I need right now is my Daddy's love," Jackie said. "I need you to hug me, and hold me, and tell me that everything is going to be okay."

"Well everything is NOT going to be okay," Michael said. "I want you out of my house. You have 45 minutes to pack. Then I don't want to see you again."

"You're kicking your daughter out during the holidays?" Jake asked. "That's horrible."

"Don't judge me," Michael said. "I wouldn't care if it was her damn birthday. The two of you, help her pack."

And so they did, then Jackie was out. She had no place to go. The three of them just sat in Morgan's car, with all of Jackie's stuff in the back.

"Oh my, god..." Jackie said, and started to cry. "I have nowhere to go."

"You have somewhere to go," Morgan said. "You're more than welcome to stay at my house."

"Thank you so much," Jackie said.

S1E14 (14)- Not a Holly Jolly Christmas, Either: Previously on Bikini Top... Jackie tells her parents about her pregnancy, only to be fiercely kicked out, and Morgan tells her that she will always be welcome at her home. Bryan's home is burnt down by a mysterious fish, Astenias. Jordin and Hersht try to stop him. SpongeBob alums decide to stay in Bikini Top. Morgan still blames Bryan for her best friend being in a coma. Anna and Trey sing a duet. Needless to say, Anna and Trey are the only ones who seem to be happy right now.

Jackie is so miserable. And it's Christmas. She just got mailed her one, final Christmas present from her parents. 10,000 bucks. They must figure that will be enough for... the rest of her life. Morgan's mother and father were very kind to her. They bought her a bunch of cute maternity clothes, and a new FishPod. She liked it there, it was like she was a member of their family. Adrian, her mom, and Benjamin, her dad, had been nothing but accepting. They didn't care that Jackie was with child. All they cared about was that she was Morgan's friend and she had no place to go because her parents weren't quite as accepting as they were.

(Theme plays)

Bryan had no idea what was going on. His house was just burned down. For no reason. He was incredibly confused. He was going through so much crap right now. He was just laying on his bed, trying not to cry. But to no avail. It was Christmas morning and all he was doing was crying. Worst Christmas ever, worst Christmas ever, worst Christmas ever! His new foster parents, Larry and Tori, came into his room.

"The police are investigating the fire as we speak," Tori assured him. "I know you're going through a very tough time, but it's Christmas. Cheer up. There's someone downstairs who wants to see you."

"Who is it?" Bryan asked, sounding miserable.

"You'll have to see," Tori said, and smiled her amazing, warm smile that could make anyone in the world feel better, no matter what was going on around them.

Except Bryan. "No, if they want to see me so much, they can come up here. I don't care about anyone right now, and I hate my damn life."

"You really just got over your father dying," Larry said. "Come on now, you can get through this too. We don't need you feeling like crap again. You just need to be strong, and fight through this."

"I can't," Bryan said. "I-- I just can't."

"Okay," Tori said. "I can accept that. We'll tell your visitor to come up and see you then. Hopefully you'll talk to her more than you've talked to us."

"Whatever..." Bryan said, sniffling a bit, then blowing his nose.

"Merry Christmas," Temperance said. "How ya doing?"

"I feel like... my dad is dead, my house is gone, what's the use of me even being alive anymore, you know?" Bryan asked.

"No, I don't know," Temperance said. "That's probably the stupidest thing that has EVER come out of your mouth, Bryan, and if that is how you're going to act, then I'll just leave your room and let you kill yourself. That sound alright to you? You keep feeling sorry for yourself, yet you have everyone in the world who is here and willing to help you. You have your friends, your mom, who is so desperate to talk to you she's been calling ME, and your foster family. Jake, Larry, and Tori are really worried about you, you know."

"I don't want to talk," Bryan said.

"Then bye," Temperance said. She started to walk out the door, then she turned back. "Merry god damn Christmas," she said as she threw a little black velvet box at him. Bryan opened it, and saw a solid gold ring that said "I LOVE YOU, BRYAN ERRIN."

For some reason, this made Bryan feel even worse.

Temperance ran downstairs.

"You okay, dear?" Tori said. "Did he talk at all?"

"Oh, he talked," Temperance said, and she slammed the door.

"We need to take that boy to therapy," Larry said. "Doing what he's doing and not talking to anyone about what he's feeling is bad for him."

"No," Jake said. "He doesn't need to talk to a therapist, he's not crazy, Dad!"

"You don't talk to therapists because you're crazy, Jake," Tori said. "You talk to therapists because sometimes you just need someone to talk to, and because at some point in their life, everyone needs help from a professional who studied mental and emotional health for a long time."

"Oh..." Jake said. "But even if you guys do take him to a therapist, how can you make sure that he'll talk? He hasn't been talking to anyone he knows, so why would he talk to a complete stranger?"

"We can't be sure, but some people just talk more to therapists," Tori said. "And it's a safe environment, where you can freely tell the therapists everything you've been holding in."

"Oh," Jake said. "I think I want a therapist...."

"Why?" Larry asked. "You tell us everything, son."

"Well yeah, I've told you everything, like about Jackie being pregnant, but... she's thinking about adoption, and I was okay with that when she first told me, but now... well, it's my baby, and I don't know if I want some other family taking care of it," Jake said.

"I love how much you care about your child," Tori said. "But, if Jackie did give the baby up for adoption, that's a very good thing to do. You two could give it to a couple who can't have children, like someone who's infertile, or a same-sex couple. There are tons of good people who'd be willing to adopt. And you and Jackie are in high school. There's no guarantee that you would be good parents, and you need to do what's best for your child, if you do care about it."

"Well that's good advice," Jake said, and a tear came out of his eye. "I ruined my life, didn't I? From having sex and getting Jackie pregnant? I must have ruined my life...."

"Not at all," Larry said.

"Your father is right," Tori said. "You made a mistake. That's all. You made your life even more complicated, that's for sure, but you definitely didn't ruin it. All our lives are just a little complicated right now. But you certainly didn't ruin your life. A baby is a blessing, not a burden. I don't know, maybe it's just not time for a baby to be your blessing just yet, Jake. Like I said, you're only in high school."

"Thanks, Mom," Jake said, and he hugged her. "And I'd want to talk to a therapist about what's going on with Naomi. I hope she's gonna be okay, but... it's not looking good." He began to cry harder.

"I'm sure your friend Naomi will be okay," Larry assured his son. "And this should be a great lesson to you. Don't do drugs, ever. And don't EVER drink and drive. If you don't die from a car accident, I'll sure as hell finish you off. You got me?"

"Oh, I got you," Jake said, and sniffled.

"No need to get upset about it," Larry said. "Just don't drink, and if you do, don't drive. And don't do drugs, they seriously dull the senses."

"That's not what I'm upset about," Jake said. "Everyone's lives just suck so much right now. Is anyone having a good Christmas at all?"

~~~

"Merry Christmas!" Trey told Anna.

"Merry Christmas!" Anna said, and she laughed. Trey had gotten her an amazing necklace for her Christmas present, and it made her love him even more. The two kissed lovingly. They were at the Bikini Top Park, when they got a text from Morgan that told them to meet her at the Smoothie Shack. They ran there right away. She was sitting there with Jackie.

"We have news..." Morgan said.

"What news?" Anna asked.

"News about Jackie," Morgan replied. "You can do the honors, Miss Filmore." Jackie was a little shy, so Morgan patted her on the shoulder. "Go on, it's okay. They're our friends, remember?"

Jackie stood up, and took off her winter coat. The baby bump was revealed.

"Oh, HELLO!!" Trey said.

Anna punched his shoulder. "Um... congratulations. Jake's the father, right...? Right?" Jackie didn't say anything. "Oh my god, Jake's not the father?!?"

"No, he is," Jackie said. "I just felt like messing with you! It was actually kind of fun."

"Wow..." Anna said. "That's wonderful. So are your parents okay with it?"

"Not even slightly," Jackie said. "I've been living with Morgan for a while now."

"And why didn't we know this?" Anna asked.

"Well, you two wouldn't stop being all lovey-dovey long enough for anyone to tell you," Morgan said. "It's been a little annoying."

"Oh," Anna said. "So we're the last to know?"

"Well I'm sure Jake's told... HIM, and he's told Temperance, so yeah," Morgan said. "Actually... no, you're not. Naomi will be the last to know, if she makes it."

"Don't even say that, Mor," Anna said. "Naomi is going to make it through this and you know it. You're being way too negative, and for the love of god will you forgive Bryan already? No offense, but you hating him is totally getting old, and annoying."

"Maybe you're right..." Morgan said. "Maybe I should forgive him."

"Please tell me you're serious..." Trey said.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Morgan asked. "Me being pissed at him is getting old, and he's going through a ridiculous amount of stuff right now too. Maybe I should go over to his house and tell him I forgive him."

"Great idea," Jackie said. "Should me, Anna, and Trey come?"

"No," Morgan said. "I think it's better if I go alone." She got up and drove to Bryan's house.

"Morgan!" Larry said. "Haven't seen you here in a while."

"It's been too long, Larry," Morgan said. She shook Larry's hand, and smiled politely. "So, is Bryan home?"

"He hasn't left his room all day," Larry said. "You're welcome up there."

"Thank you," Morgan said. She walked to Bryan's room, where she saw him laying in bed, sobbing. She frowned. "You okay, Bryan?"

"What do you think?" he asked. "My dad and everything he owned is gone. So yeah... I'm dandy, Morgan. Why the hell are you here? Don't you hate me?"

"I never hated you," Morgan said. "I was just angry with you for not telling me and everyone else about Naomi's drug problem when you knew about it."

"Well she didn't want me to tell you," Bryan said.

"I know," Morgan said. "But I'm done with that. I'm done fighting the same fight, and arguing the same argument. It's getting old, and there are bigger things going on. Pregnancy, comas, you know, the usual drama at Bikini Top High School, right?"

"Why are you here, Morgan?" Bryan asked.

"Because I'm not mad at you anymore," Morgan said.

"Really?" Bryan asked.

"Really!" Morgan said. She smiled.

"Well I really don't care," Bryan said. "So if you'd just leave me alone, that'd be great. 'Kay?" He quickly pointed to the room, signaling she needed to leave.

"I'm not leaving," Morgan said.

"I think you are..." Bryan said.

"No, Jake," Morgan said. "Why don't you just talk to me? I can help."

"Okay, I get it, you forgive me!" Bryan said. "But if you really wanted to help me, you would just let me be alone, Morgan. I hate the world right now Morgan, and I don't want to take my anger out on you. Not when what's left of our friendship is really fragile right now. So please, for the love of god, just leave. When and if I ever feel better, I'll talk to you and everyone else. But I didn't even talk to my girlfriend this morning. What in the hell makes you think I would talk to you, Morgan? ESPECIALLY when you blame me for almost killing your best friend in the deep blue sea by not telling you about her addiction to cocaine?"

"I'm not sure..." Morgan said. "I figured it wouldn't hurt to try."

"Well if you don't leave, it might hurt..." Bryan said.

"Fine," Morgan said. "Have fun being a jackass, Bryan. Let me know when you can take the time away from feeling sorry for yourself to talk to anyone." Then she slammed the door, and went downstairs.

"How'd it go, Morgan?" Tori asked when she came down.

"I might be more pissed off at that son of a bitch than I already was," Morgan said. She ran out the door of their house, and slammed it.

"Why does everyone keep doing that?" Tori asked.

"That's it!" Larry said. He walked up the stairs, and opened the door. "Bryan, I'm going to call a therapist, if you like it or not. And hopefully he can see you in a few days."

"I'm not seeing a therapist," Bryan said.

"Well, that's the thing," Larry said, "I'm your legal guardian, so I wasn't asking your permission. When you live under my roof, you do what I say. So, you'll be going to therapy."

"Whatever..." Bryan said.

"I see we've reached an agreement," Larry said. He shut the door.

"Don't you think you were being a little harsh?" Tori asked.

"Not really," Larry said. "I'm pretty sick of this. I realize he lost a family member, and all of his belongings in some strange fire, but that's no excuse to be acting the way he is. He should be happy to still be alive after all of this crap. I know I sound a little crabby, but I am crabby. Everyone that comes to talk to him just runs out of our house and slams the door, and that is not a good thing at all, Tori. It's not healthy for him to hold his feelings in like this, then lash out at anyone who tries to help him by talking to him, and trying to comfort him, and ask him exactly how he feels about everything that's going on. He needs help. He needs a professional opinion so he can just get over it, I know they say time heals wounds like these, but we've given that boy more than enough time than he needs to get over it. I would understand him still being sad about it, but being this sad and mean is unhealthy!"

"No need to go on a rant..." Jake said.

"Haha," Larry said.

"Dad, that wasn't a joke," Jake said. "My head is literally spinning from listening to all that you just said. It's crazy. You're crazy."

"What did you just say?" Larry asked.

"I said that you're crazy, old man," Jake said. "Get your ears checked."

Suddenly, Jake, Tori, and Larry started to laugh. Bryan wasn't doing great, but at least they could still laugh.

~~~

Possibly because of that family finally laughing, something amazing happened. SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Sandy were visiting Naomi in her hospital room, and she woke up.

~~~

That night, Jake, Tori, and Larry had gone out to get some dinner. Bryan stayed home, to Larry's dismay. They'd been gone for about an hour and a half, so Bryan got a little bored. He got out of his room for the first time that day, and saw a jar of painkillers sitting there on the counter. What he said earlier to Temperance about there being no use in his life anymore came back into his head. He took all of the painkillers, got a glass of water, and swallowed every last one of the painkillers. All he wanted was for the pain to go away.

("Save You" by Matthew Perryman Jones [listen here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSN4B0c0vnI ] plays throughout the end montage)

Jake, Tori, and Larry come home to find Bryan on the floor, unconscious. Larry shakes him, and picks him up. Jake keeps saying "Wake up, wake up" over and over, and crying a little bit.

Temperance is laying on her bed, crying.

Jackie is in Morgan's house, feeling completely out of place.

Morgan feels angry, and yet senses something is wrong, so she tries to call Bryan. All the phone does is ring, and ring, and ring, and she gets the voicemail eventually. She tries to call Jake instead, and he tells her everything, and that they're driving him to Bikini Top Hospital as fast as they can.

Naomi walks out the door of Bikini Top Hospital just to see Larry run in with Bryan in his arms, and Tori, Jake, and Morgan right behind the two of them. She follows.
