A/n: Ok, I had this idea a long time ago... but slightly different. I've changed it completely. I hope you people like it.

Summary: When fame got too much for her,Diamond escaped. Supposedly last sighted in Malibu, believe to be attending public school, when the going gets tough, will Diamond be uncovered?

Diamond in the rough.

"Oh my GOD!" screamed Nicole, leafing through the magazine.
"What, Britney cut her hair?" Logan suggested randomly. It was just like Nicole to scream over something as trivial as a star's new haircut.
"No! You know Diamond..." Nicole gabbled excitedly.
"Who?" Queried Dana.
"Diamond Clarke."
"The runaway?" Chase asked.
"Well yeah, well she's rumored to be living right here in Malibu!" Zoey rolled her eyes.
"People still see Elvis... Nicole get over it everyone knows Diamond died in a car crash over two years ago." She said with a frown.
"I heard that was just a rumor." Chase said shaking his head.
"It's what her parents said..." Zoey crossed her arms moodily.
"Well... I heard she ran away, and according to my magazine her credit and debit accounts are still being accessed from a bank just down the street!"
"Well d'ya know what I heard?" Dana asked, snatching the magazine with a wicked smile. "That those magazines are bad for your health." She screwed up the glossy, into a big paper ball. "She shoots!" She threw it at the trash can. "And she scores, see you later guys,"
"Later..." Logan said smiling at her.

"You like her..." Sang Zoey with an evil grin. Logan blushed.
"So... right here in Malibu you say..." He said suddenly pretending to take an interest in Nicole's gossip stories.


The gang sat in the girls' lounge. Zoey was sat on the sofa beside Dana, Dana was next to Logan. Dustin and Chase were sat cross legged on the floor, Chase infront of Zoey and Dustin infront of Logan. Nicole was sat on a chair on her own.Michael was beginning to regret arguing with Dustin over who got to sit on the 2 seater, because Quinn was determinedly feeling his head for bumps.
"Oh my god! I love this movie! Don't you love this movie! It's got Diamond Clarke in it! I love this movie!"
"Ok... who fed Nicole sugar?" Logan demanded.
"Do we have to watch this?" Whined Dana.
"She can't even act!" Zoey said shaking her head.
"Can too... she's pretty talented but... the film is so lame!" Dana argued. "The plotline is so..."
"Predictable..." Suggested Logan.
"Yeah that, thanks." Dana smiled softly.
"I say we vote on it..." Dustin volunteered.
"Okay all those who want to watch Rainbow Dreams, raise your hand." Dustin, Quinn and Michael raised their hands. "All those opposed..." Logan, Dana and Zoey raised their hands.
"Chase didn't vote..."
"Well... I wanna watch it but I'm gonna upset you three if I vote yes." He complained.

Zoey pouted.
"Fine then watch the stupid film, see if I care." She stood up and stalked out in a mood. Chase sighed.
"You are really unlucky with the ladies, you know that." Logan said as Nicole turned the volume on the telly up.
"Shut up." Chase grumbled.

"But Mama, why'd you have to go away?" The young Rainbow said.
"Now y'know I don't have a choice Rainbow, stay strong for yer dad while I'm gone..."

"Man this is so lame..." Logan complained.
"She was really little." Giggled Nicole.
"She was 8." Dustin filled in.
"Do you people have lives?" Dana questioned. Logan raised his hand.
"I do."
"Well... seen as how we're the only two who do... I say we get out and live them, wanna go catch a movie on campus?" Dana said standing up and taking Logan's hand. She pulled him up. "You're paying." She added as they left the room.
"I am?" He asked raising his eyebrows.
"Yes... you are."
"I'll want compensation then..." He whispered in her ear.
"How so?" She asked.

The two entered the movie theater.
"Like, maybe we can make out later?" Logan suggested hopefully as he handed over the cash for the tickets. He allowed Dana to pick food and stuff.
"Maybe..." She smirked. "Maybe not..."
"Well maybe..." Logan smirked back. "I'll just be taking this..." He took her popcorn. Dana smiled.
"Thanks for carrying it..." And with that she dashed into the theatre to choose there seats. He sighed. He'd walked right into that one. Dana sat at the very back.
"Look at you, bad girl..."
"Huh?"
"Only bad girls sit at the back..." He took the seat beside her and handed her her popcorn.
"Oh do explain." She said sarcastically.
"So nobody can see what they're up to..." Dana threw a handful of popcorn at him.
"What're we watching..." She then asked in confusion.
"Who cares? I won't be watching it, I'll be watching you." Dana blushed, and thanked god that it was dark in the theatre so he couldn't see.

During the previews Dana sat very still and Logan fidgeted.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing... Just thinking..." He answered.
"You're kidding me. You think? Sorry... what about?"
"That Diamond kid."
"What about her, got a crush on her?" Teased Dana.
"Oh please, she's about twelve." He scoffed.
"She's not... she ran away when she was 12..."
"Either way... she just vanished into thin air... didn't she?" He said thoughtfully.
"So?"
"What if one of us just..." He clicked his fingers. "Disappeared... just like that tomorrow?" He questioned.
"Since when were you such a deep thinker?" She questioned.
"I'm serious, if I went missing tomorrow, what would you do?"

"I'd regret not making out with you everytime you asked..." Dana confessed.
"So you dowanna make out?"
"Not particularly." She shrugged. "I'd just feel bad that I'd denied you something you really wanted. Why you're not planning on disappearing tomorrow are you?" She couldn't help but hide the nervousness in her voice.
"Would you make out with me if I said I was?"
"Maybe..." He took her hands and turned her around so she was stood infront of him.
"Then maybe I am..." He pulled her closer.
"What the hell..." She shrugged. She kneeled onto his seat, leaning right into him. "I might as well..." She was incredibly surprised when Logan didn't kiss her right away. Instead h raised his hand to her cheek and whispered.
"You're beautiful... you know?"
"Um... thanks I think..." She was uncertain as to how she was supposed to react to that.
"You are..." He leaned forward and kissed the corner of her mouth. She slid her hand up to his neck and rearranged him so he was kissing her properly. She was the one who actually deepened the kiss. He allowed her to.
"Wow..." He muttered, when she broke off.

"Gotta say, I'm a little disappointed." She smirked.
"You are?" he cocked his eyebrows.
"You always brag about being the make-out champ. I bet a five year old is more serious than you." Logan pouted.
"You want serious? I'll give you serious." This time he didn't hold back. He started straight into a french kiss and she didn't protest at all this time. She enjoyed every second of it. His hands, onecaressing her face and one supporting her waist.His tongue sweeping across hers. His lips massaging her own, smearing her lip gloss. She loved it.


"So..." Zoey said. "Spill it."
"Spill what?" Dana asked innocently, as she shut the door.
"Spill as to why your lip gloss is smudged." Nicole laughed. Dana subconsciously raised her hand to her lips.
"Shut up." She mumbled.
"You kissed him didn't you..." Zoey laughed.
"Is he any good?" Nicole questioned.
"He's great!" Dana blurted. "Only... don't tell him that..." She fell onto her bed and stared at the underside of the top bunk dazedly.
"Seeing him again?" Zoey voiced aloud.
"Tomorrow..." Dana said with a small smile.

"Oh my god, have you guys read this?" Nicole questioned.
"If this is about that stupid..."
"Word on the street is... Diamond's attending a school in this area. She's what... 14, 15 now? She'd be in our year!" Nicole squealed. "What if she goes to PCA?"
"Oh come off it, if she's that famous, she'll be home tutored." Zoey argued.

Dana was too spaced to care or listen. All she could care about was that tomorrow was her second date with Logan Reese.
