I think this is actually one of my better ones...and one of my only two Kaguel fics...yes, I used to like the two together but then Miguel just got dumber and dumber. Anyway, enjoy. Oh, there are a lot of song lyrics in this fic so at the end I'll include a discography. On the whole this story is Rated R for bad language and adult situations.

Sometimes it is Dangerous

Prologue

Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald sat on the couch in the Bennett's living room, watching TV with his girlfriend Charity Standish. If the truth had to be told, he wasn't really paying attention to the television nor to his girlfriend. He was thinking about the realization that had hit him that day.

He had been sitting in this very room, on this very couch, listening to Mrs. Bennett tell Charity about her daughters, Kay and Jessica's, childhood while showing her a photo album. He had looked at the pictures of Kay he thought about how good of friends they used to be. They used to know what each other was feeling just by looking at each other. Ever since Charity had moved to town he had neglected their friendship and he was feeling guilty for it.

He looked at a picture of Kay that was taken shortly before Charity came to town. That was one of the last times that he had really known her or had a real conversation with her. He looked up as Kay came down the stairs. She had changed in the year since Charity came.

She was thinner and paler. She was more withdrawn and didn't hang out with the normal group anymore. According to Simone, they had grown apart. And Jessica said that Kay hadn't fought with her anymore. In fact, she was rarely ever home anymore. She often got in fights with all members of her family with the exception of her uncle Hank and brother Noah, since they rarely ever saw each other. Miguel had also noticed that Kay had started to dress differently. She had started dressing in more revealing clothes.

For instance, today as she came down the stairs, she was dressed in a tight black mini-skirt, and a tight black low-cut midriff tank top, which, he noticed, didn't have a bra underneath it. She had on black leather knee-high boots with 4 ½ inch stiletto heels. Her hair was pulled up into a ponytail and she had a few tendrils of hair framing her face. She had on silver hoop earrings and many silver bracelets and rings.

She pulled on her leather jacket that Hank had gotten her for Christmas the previous year then put on her dark sunglasses. She picked up her purse then left the house without saying a word to anyone, even to her mother when she asked where she was going.

After Mr. and Mrs. Bennett figured out that no matter what they said or did, Kay wasn't going to stop dressing the way she was and acting the way she was they gave up. They still tried to talk to her about it and find out why she had changed, but they had basically given her up for a lost cause. She would revert back if she wanted to...which, so far, she hadn't. They had since turned their time and attention to Jessica and Charity, doing their best to keep them from changing into the person that Kay had become.

Now that he really thought about it, Kay's problems had all started the second that Charity came to town. Kay said that she liked her, but now Miguel was having second thoughts. Maybe Kay was bitter about Charity getting more attention than she was. Maybe it was the middle child syndrome. Miguel didn't know, but he was determined to find out what it was if it was the last thing he ever did.
