Chapter Text
Nicole Haught has known Waverly Earp since she was sixteen years old and new to Purgatory. Waverly was the first person she met, so gorgeous and adorable with her beautiful brown flowy hair . Nicole met Waverly at Purgatory’s National Park, she was climbing rocks to get a view of the motorcycle across the park when she saw a girl being pushed by a dark-haired little boy with a polo shirt on, Tucker was his name.
Nicole jumped off the rocks she was climbing and marched right up to him pushing him to the ground.
“listen here twig , if I see you touching her ever again I will turn you into hamburger meat” ,she hisses.
“ o-okay I’m s-sorry W-waverly” he said as he ran away.
Nicole held out a hand to pick Waverly up “ are you okay” she asked in a soft voice.
“ yes, thank you. who are you “ she says while straightening out her yellow dress.
“ I’m Nicole, Nicole Haught. I just moved here from Alberta, my dad got a job as a cop or something so now I’m here” Nicole say kicking rocks around.
“I’m Waverly Earp, my sister is Wynonna Earp you will probably like her she dresses like you and she likes to protect me like you did. She’s gonna be happy when she finds out you scared the pants off Tucker.” she beams.
Nicole sees her mom waving for her to come over “ sorry Waverly I have to go my mom is summoning me , it was nice to meet you I hope I can see you again”
”bye Nicole” waverly says as she heads back to the bench.
“ who is that girl you were talking to Nikky” her mom says.
Nicole sighs at the nickname “ her name is Waverly Earp, she’s very nice and pretty and I hope we can be friends because she’s the nicest person I’ve ever met and I hope she’s in my school”. she rambles.

The next time Nicole sees Waverly is in the police station. Nicole’s dad had to pick up his uniform while they were running errands. Waverly walks in with a smile on her face and a book tucked under her arm, she’s the cutest thing Nicole has ever seen and she’s so confused when she feels her stomach tighten.
A brunette girl with fantastic hair and a leather jacket walks in behind Waverly followed by an older man with a police uniform on.
Waverly sees Nicole and runs over to her “ hey Nicole what are you doing here , are you in trouble “ she asks with a puzzled look on her face.
“no , my dad had to pick up his uniform we were on our way to the mall for new clothes” Nicole says.
“ oh okay , this is wynonna my sister, wynonna this is Nicole the girl I told you about” waverly exclaims.
“ sup red Haught nice jacket , thanks for scaring Tucker he’s an annoying stalker” wynonna says.
“ you’re welcome , so waverly what are you guys doing here” Nicole says questioningly.
“
oh , Lonnie brought us here so we can go to uncle Nedley’s” Waverly says excitedly.
“ nikky it's time to go, say goodbye to your friends” Nicole’s dad days.
Nicole rolls her eyes “ bye Waverly and Wynonna”.
Nicole still couldn’t figure out why her stomach felt like she was going down on a rollercoaster whenever she was around Waverly.

A few months after they moved Nicole’s sister Jamie decided to visit. Jamie left home right after high school with her girlfriend to “find herself”.
“ hey um Jamie how did you know you were .. well how did you know you liked girls” Nicole asked.
“ well I never really had a crush on any boys and whenever I would get around Emily my stomach would feel all weird and my hands would sweat and I would be so nervous. After awhile I tried to date girls and I really knew when I kissed a girl and it felt magical” Jamie said dreamily.
“ I-i think I like Waverly, whenever I’m around here my stomach feels weird and I get really happy and she makes me lose my cool” Nicole said.
Jamie put her hand on Nicole’s “ you know it’s normal right, I support you one thousand percent and I think it’s really funny that she makes you lose your cool. You’re usually so guarded and stuff , she makes you soft little Haught”.
“ yeah yeah I know but it’s only with her though no one else makes me feel all gooey. I think I might ask her out” Nicole said proudly.
“ you got this little haught she’ll fall for you so quick I mean you look just like me and I’m super Haught” Jamie winked.

Wynonna was the second person Nicole told about her crush on Waverly. Wynonna and Nicole became friends because they both liked leather jackets and motorcycles and neither of them took any shit from anyone, except Waverly.
Wynonna and Nicole were probably the most disliked students at Purgatory High. They always got in trouble together, skipping class and sneaking out the house to roam around town with Doc Holliday.
They were the dynamic duo and Nicole hoped this crush wouldn’t ruin their friendship.
“ yo HaughtPants what’s up you look a little pale” Wynonna said as she walked up to her.
“ um I have to tell you about something and I don’t want you to get mad” Nicole said shyly.
“ dude why would I get mad just tell me” wynonna said.
“ ok so I have a crush on waverly and I want to ask her to be my girlfriend” Nicole said.
“ really , that’s all, Nicole I already knew you liked Waverly. Whenever she comes around you get these heart eyes and you get all soft. Dude you’re like whipped by my baby sister and my baby sister is like 100 percent in love with you. ” Wynonna said matter of factly.
“ soooo you would be fine with me asking your sister out” Nicole said questioningly.
“ sure as long as you’re not gonna end up all mushy 24/7 I need someone to get in trouble with haughtrod” wynonna says.
From that moment Nicole knew that she and Wynonna were “ best friends” and she was confident that Waverly would go out with her.
