Chapter Text
Weekend at the cabin:
~Waverly is cooking something on the stove, the radio is playing softly in the background and she is singing softly, then wraps arms around from behind and starts kissing neck, exposed shoulder. Wave teases about smooth moves. Nic flicks open the button on her high-waisted jean shorts with one hand and whispers “You don’t know anything about my moves…. yet” After dinner, Nicole suggests they play a game and asks Waverly how she feels about dominoes- soul mate moment. Waves tells Nic about being the keeper of the bones and they bond over shared childhood memories. Waverly should start to leave, but their goodnight kiss should turn into something more and they hook up for the first time. Afterglow or morning discussion… Nic asks Waverly if she can handle being with her if this is the kind of crap they may face in life. Good time to clear up the whole I’m not ashamed of you thing. Waverly decides it could happen to anyone and has nothing to do with their relationship or the fact that they’re both women. It’s just a kid being an asshole, etc. Then, she tells Nic she loves her.
Monday at school:
*Waverly goes back to school Monday, but Nicole still does not. Nate and little sister show up at Waverly’s door before school- don’t give Sarah time to delete the evidence.
*Little sis spills the beans about how she was changing in the bathroom stall of the locker room before school (cause she’s gay which is why Brody was harassing her) and overhears Sarah bragging to her friends about what she did. Plays real audio for them vs fake audio and how there’s a School Board meeting the next night where she’s going to put on the waterworks for everyone to get Nicole fired. Nate needs to come forward and volunteer to help Nicole to prove he’s trying to become the man she believes he can be.
*Waverly talks to Wynonna and Dolls and makes a plan. Takes phone during test.
~Waves needs the satisfaction of taking Sarah’s phone away in class, accusing her of being on it during a test. Dolls confiscates phone. Whispers: “Sucks to be accused of something you didn’t do, doesn’t it?” Sarah’s face drains of color as she realizes that Waverly knows the truth.
*School Board Meeting
~Sarah plays innocent victim with angry dad.
~Students come forward on Nicole’s behalf, including Nate. Board says it’s still not enough when they have the audio evidence of misconduct.
~Dolls comes forward and requests the Board listen to another recording (the real one).
~Superintendent calls Nic forward and releases her from all charges. Then says, “I heard what you said about gay people, Officer, and I have to tell you… I agree, completely. Even if you are a lesbian, not saying you are, that does not make you dangerous to our youth. Who you choose to spend your time with outside of school is none of my concern or anyone else’s, for that matter. What matters is that you care about your students and they obviously care just as much about you, as witnessed here this evening. I can’t think of a finer person to protect and serve for the young adults of Purgatory. This meeting is adjourned.
~Outside, Nicole is overwhelmed as she hugs all of the kids, Dolls and Wynonna. When she gets to Waverly, the kids start chanting “Kiss kiss kiss kiss”. She starts to say they’re just friends, when Waverly places a gentle hand on her arm, then pulls her down by her neck and stands on her tiptoes to kiss her which Nic turns into dipping her backwards in a big, cheesy display.
~Afterward, Sarah’s dad apologizes to Nicole and says he knows there will be repercussions for his daughter which he will fully support.
Resolution:
Nate and lil sis go talk to Wynonna and Dolls. Epilogue can be after the School Board hearing where Sarah is proven guilty, Haught is innocent, and they walk into the sunlight holding hands with heads held high.
Ending:
Waves says something about trying to protect them both and Nicole can use the line about being a cop and going toward the danger.
Disgusting!
Nicole bristles and begins to retort, but is stopped by a small hand on her chest. She looks down into soft brown eyes that seem to say 'I got this'. In an instant, Waverly is spitting fire. "You know what's disgusting? The fact that it's 2017 and you're still hung up on two people of the same gender showing affection. It's disgusting that you're filling this world with more hate when we clearly have enough already. And what's worse is that you're passing that hate along to your kid," she gestures to Sarah who is standing beside her father with her face twisted into a frown like she swallowed a lemon. "Move along, Mr. Kennedy. Because this?" Waverly dismisses the man and his rotten child as she returns her gaze to Nicole and finishes as if she's only speaking to her. "This is beautiful."
Nicole swoops in and captures Waverly's lips again in a sweet, tender kiss. The crowd around them cheers again and forces the Kennedy's out of their little circle. They march away with a huff and two bad attitudes. Nicole is the first to pull back. Her dimples are on full display as she looks deep into the eyes of the woman she loves. "Couldn't have said it better myself."
Another voice breaks through the crowd. "Hands off my sister, Haught-stuff!" The two break apart with twin eye rolls and wait for Wynonna to finish approaching. She glances at her sister with a mischievous twinkle in her eye. "It's my turn," she states playfully, then wraps her long arms around Nicole in a tight hug. "Never doubted you for a second, Haughty," she whispers so only the officer can hear her. They break the hug and Wynonna winks at Waverly. "Finally picked a smart one."
"Yep. Super smart." She looks up at Nicole with an expression of pure adoration.
"Okay eww. That's enough of that." Then, to the crowd in a loud voice, "Show's over, people. Let's go. Get home and do some homework or something."
Waverly reaches over and intertwines her fingers with Nicole's and tugs lightly. "Yeah. Let's go home." The officer gives their hands a gentle squeeze and can't help thinking I am home.
The End. *shrugs*
