A/N sorry for the wait but let's begin VGHS till the end.

Chapter 1: returning

Brian and Trixie were in the limo which had picked them up from the airport. They were heading back to VGHS after the long year of being gone, their underground training was going well and they were getting very good as a team, but the coach Danny 'Atlas' James had decided to let them to return to their high schools for the final year before they went to playoffs.

Their was another reason as for why they were heading back to VGHS but that wasn't on Brian's mind right now.

He was a nervous creak for the whole journey, his leg was twitching up and down which made his whole body vibrate and he couldn't keep his hands still either. It was really starting to get on Trixie's nerves.

"Brian would you calm down, you and I both know she won't be there and I thought you were over her, come on man it's been a year."

Brian stopped and let his head fall to the floor. She was right. It had been a year, it had been a year since Jenny had said he was nothing more than dead weight. A stepping stone to the top. It hurt Brian, it still hurt. He had gotten better, all the training and talking to Ted and Ki, made him stop thinking about her. But it was time like these when he wasn't doing anything, it times like these that his mind began to wonder. "Your right, Trix's but...I don't know."

"Do you still love her?"

Brian had to stop, it was true he still loved her, he hated it but he did, he knew in his heart that he did. So his response was short and simple. "Yeah."

Trixie replied with a simple 'oh' before returning to silence. Brian stopped moving and kept his head down, letting his mind wonder once again.

/Calhoun's office./

"Brian D. What brings who back here i wonder" Calhoun asked before taking a sip of his coffee.

"Coach should've sent word ahead. So cut the normal crap. I thought you would be happy." Trixie responded not carrying Calhoun was more interested in Brian.

Calhoun moved his head to look at her. "Yeees right. So you maggots want to come back into our school, just like that...Huh?"

Brian replied this time but he wore a smirk on his face. "Oh no Sir, we know you like a show and well, were looking for a new player, coach sent everyone back to their school in order to find a replacement for the one that decided to quit on us."

Calhoun was becoming interested, "What are you suggesting?"

"A game." Trixie said quickly and simply.

"A Game?" Calhoun responded some what surprised.

"Yes, I trust you want to see how good two of your runaway students have become and were looking for someone able to match us. So we want a game against every FPS player you have with a score that won't get them expelled if they lose." Brian explained.

"I like it, I'll set it up, welcome back to VGHS I guess. You can have your old rooms back, Jenny left so Trixie you're on your own and Brian you're back in with Ted. Now get out!" The pair did as they were told and headed to their rooms.

/Jenny, Paris./

Jenny matrix. She had screwed up everything. The boy she loved, she stabbed him in the back and now here she was in the paris panthers. The place she had wanted to be the whole time and it was crap. She was offered a space on the team as a sniper specialist, it was a chance to be great, a chance to possibly find Brian and make things right. She knew he probably moved on and it broke her heart to think about it but it didn't matter now because her she was. At the paris panther, a glorified bench warmer.

During games, she sat at on the bench. During training, she sat on the bench. 'Your shadowing' she was told, 'learning by watching'. It was all bullshit. She hated every second of it. When she told her mother she responded with deal with it. It made her hate her mother even more. But today was the final straw.

She sat with the coach. He was listing reasons why she couldn't play and why she was getting her pay cut...again. It was starting to annoy her. "Just send me back to VGHS" She said to herself.

Or so she thought. "Matrix! How dare you."

Jenny's eyes widened. " Coach I'm sorry, Really…"

"Matrix save it. The team well they hate you, I gave you the offer for the team spot because you're your mother daughter and it gave us publicity now your usefulness has ended. So yeah I'm cutting you pay to nothing and sending back to VGHS. I bet you're looking forward to talking to your mother now huh. Now get packing your plane leaves in 6 hours."

"Yes coach…. You know what fuck you seeing around you arsehole! " She said as she left to go back to VGHS.

/Brian./

Brian had said goodbye to Trixie, he would see her at the Grand theft auto torium, for the big game tomorrow. But now he was returning his room for a long overdue reunion. He opened his room and saw Ted with his back to him, he had his earphones in and was playing so game on his laptop. He checked his phone, clearly he was waiting for the phone call he was due from Brian. Completely unaware of the surprise behind him.

Brian decided to play a game with Ted. He got out his phone and put it on silent. He then ted. 'Hey buddy. I haven't got time to call you today coach is being really hard on practise today.'

Ted jumped when he felt his phone vibrate. He pulled it out and looked at the text. "Oh man." he said sounding defeated before texting back. 'OK man, that sucks how about tomorrow. Yeah.'

Brian text back straight away. 'I got a better Idea….Turn around.'

Ted read the message and moved his head back in confusion, but he did it anyway. Pulling out his headphones as he did so. As soon as his eyes were set on Brian they widened. "Brian!"

"Hey Ted…" Before Brian knew it head had embraced him in a tight bear hug. "A little tight there bud."

"Oh sorry… But what are you doing here. I mean training, practise. The team."

Brian smiled. "Relax I'm here for a reason and i'm going to be here for a while. Until graduation in fact."

"That great, Best friends forever. Yes"

"Yeah man Best friends for ever. Now come on help me unpack."

The pair started to unpack Brian things when Ted remembered something. "Hey Brian you know how you left, after you found Jenny calling you deadweight to her mother."

Brian stopped. He really didn't to talk about that, "Come on man, can we not do this please."

Ted shook his head. "I think you need to hear this though. Jenny came looking for you about a week after you left. She missed you and wanted to talk to you see what was wrong. She terrified that she angered you somehow. When I told her you left and the reason why. She was heartbroken… I…. I think she only said what she did to silence her mother."

Ted words hit Brian like a sack of bricks, he fell into the sofa and put his hands on his head. Tears began to run down his face. "Fuck. what did I do."

Ted put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him, "The right thing, if you waited around for Jenny you would be where you are now. Just if you ever seen Jenny again don't hate her, she made a mistake and paid dearly for it. OK"

"Alright. Thanks man...I think." Was all Brian said before getting up. "Now lets finish up here and play some game yeah just like old times.

"Hell yeah."

/The next day./

Brian and Trixie stood back stage the looked at has 32 players that had been gathered. They both knew this wasn't going to be easy. But they still had to win. Teamwork was key just like Atlas had said.

Ace took the stage, "Ok Scrubs, we got a special class today. Two of our students have changed you to a game and it is your job to beat them. No 32 should be quick and simple. But you haven't seen them play like I have and now they are even better. So let's bring them out…. First we have a girl that loves to play dirty. Close quarters is her best friend and let just say it's best to stay away from her shotgun."

After Ace finished her intro Trixie walked onto the stage and made the VGHS students begin talking amongst themselves. But then Ace continued. "Oh you think your scared now, but this guy took on the whole JV time once, he killed the Law. He is so unpredictable it painful. It the one and only Brian D.

Brian stepped out and everyone was in shock, some were scared, others were surprised and all were nervous. Brian and Trixie sat down and put on their head sets. The 32 players did the same. Then Ace told them the rules. "Alright. Let's get this Team death match started. No respawns, if you die you're done. First team to wipe out the other wins. OK let's do it.

The game clock counted down from ten and very focused in,

/In game./

"OK Trixie, let's be careful, take them one at a time, stick to cover and let them take the risks. They are looking for the easy win." Brian said as check out his Assault rifle.

"So… an easy win then." Trixie said with a smirk and she reloaded the shotgun.

"Right." Brian said as he looked to the barrier between them and the playing field. A few seconds later it dropped and Brian and Trixie were on the move.

Almost instantly Brian was shot at so he dove to cover. A player aimed up but took to long as Brian reacted and got a head with a short burst of his gun. 1. Trixie had a similar moment. But the player was closer and with her shotgun she got him in the gut. 2. The pair moved on and entered builing. The checked every room. Brian found a lost team of 5. He sprayed his gun and killed them all. 3,4,5,6,7. Trixie had a run in with another but it ended quickly. 8. 2 more players charged thought the building. A knife to head kill them though. 9,10.

The pair exited the building and ended for more open area with very little cover. "Great…." Brian aloud with a mixture of fear and enjoyment. They didn't have time to look around as 10 player. The pair looked at each other and charged. Brian slung his assault rifle onto his back and pulled a tomahawk from his hip, Trixie kept her shotgun and after they got close, which was rather easy seeing as the player were inaccurate and undisciplined with their weapons. Brian got to his target and sent his tomahawk and to their neck digging deep and killing them. He then did it with the other 4 each hit a different point but still killing them with speed and efficiency. He looked over to Trixie who had killed 3 of her targets. She killed the fourth a but the fifth tried to sneak up on her but Brian threw his tomahawk at them, it hit the head and killed the target. Brian moved to pick up his blade and put it back on his hip.

"That's 20. Did you have fun showing off Viking." Trixie said with humour.

"Of course I did trick shot, did you." Brian replied.

"I sure did. Now do we stand our ground or go hunting."

"Let's stay. We can cover ourselves here make a killing zone." Brian said as he looked around. They now were in a coned room. It had 2 entrances but their was cover close to the wall meaning they could hide. "I take one side you take the other. When they come I'll give them a distraction and you take them from behind, understood."

"Sure cap. Let's do it." Trixie said before running off to one side and getting behind the low wall.

Brian did the same and they waited, the players for some reason unknown to them decided to come through in 2 making easy picking in a matter of moments 6 waves of 2 came through and were kill within seconds. But that it 12 more players killed. Game over.

/IRL./

Brian and Trixie took off their headsets to see the other 32 players clapping. "If that the skill of 2 of the new team I'll be rooting for you." One of the 32 said. Plenty of them agreed with yeah's and woo's Trixie and Brian smiled.

"You were all very good too. You need some work and with a bit of effort you can be just as good. If not better. Yell I learn from Ace back in the day. I mean I back to being in his class but still." Brian said with a smirk.

"That right scrub your back to my play field." Ace said as with a smirk off his own. "Alright class dismissed."

Every smiled and moved to their social groups. Brian decided to return to his room as did Trixie and they said their goodbye to one another and headed back to their rooms.

/Jenny./

The last 2 days had been none stop. It seemed the panthers wanted her gone as soon as possible. So they chucked her on a plain and then straight into a cab and finally she was back. Back to place where she screwed it all up.

Jenny walked a little heading to the front door to go to Calhoun's office. As she made her way through the courtyard she bumped into someone. She looked her left to see who it was and then she saw him, hand on his head rubbing it. He then met her eyes.

"Jenny?"

"Brian.?"

A/N and that was it for the first chapter. Was it good was it bad. Let me know and I will see you in the next chapter.
