A/N: So decided to do an Eric story this time. Also the Jenna/Chang interaction is from a previous fic I wrote before.
Who the characters are based on:
Elizabeth Gillies as Jenna King
Daniella Bobadilla as Madison Rivera
Ciara Bravo as Ella Rumpskin
Joe Jo (Justkiddingfilms) as Leonardo 'Leo' Monte Lee
Charlie Carver as Eric Peters
Max Carver as Brett Peters
In Study Room F, a small party is going on in celebration of Jenna passing her first math test at Greendale. A banner saying, “Congratulations” is hung up on the whiteboard behind Madison and Leo’s seats. Music plays from speakers that have been setup by the white board. Various students are eating cake and food that has been spread out on the Study Table Mark II. Jenna King is relaxing at her seat around the table. She is wearing a purple t-shirt and jeans. Her hair has changed back to her original brown hair. She smiles at her fellow students as she gives a sigh.
“What’s wrong?” Madison asks. She is wearing a little blue dress with a yellow jacket. She takes her seat around the study table. She has a small plate of food with her.
“I don’t know. I think I’m expecting something that would ruin this party and I’m not talking about Britta.” Jenna said.
Madison lightly laughs at Jenna’s statement. “Oh, come on Jenna. You know that I won’t let anything ruin this party.” Madison replies. Jenna raises one of her eyebrows as she gives Madison a look of doubt.
Ella Rumpskin, Eric Peters and Leo Lee walk to them as they take their seat around the study table. Ella is wearing a red plaid t-shirt and black cargo pants. Leo is wearing a white logo t-shirt and black jacket along with jeans. Eric is wearing a green polo shirt and white pants. Each of them has a small plate of food, which they start eating.
“What’s up with Jenna?” Eric asks noticing her mood.
“Nothing, just waiting for my daily craziness to start up.” Jenna said sarcastically.
“That’s sound reasonable. A party like this is the perfect setting for a creative but not too insane situation that would cause all of us emotional distress.” Ella said.
“Ella, nothing crazy is going to happen.” Madison said.
“Now you just jinxed us.” Leo said. Ben Chang walks up to them at their table. “See!” Leo states as he points out Chang to Madison.
“Yo young folks, you do know that you put all the food for this party on this table right?” Chang states to them. He starts making a plate of food, along with other partygoers as the group tries to move out of the way of the various arms reaching for some food. Chang finishes making his plate as he smiles at Jenna. “King.” Chang said as he goes back to socializing with the other partyers.
Jenna blush as Chang walks away. Madison notices this as her eyes brighten. “Jenna, what’s with that blush?” She asks.
Jenna glares at Madison as the rest of the study group takes interest in this. Ella examines Jenna as she adjusts her pink glasses. “You two dated.” Ella said.
“It was only once and my uncle forced me to do it.” Jenna quickly states to them.
“But that still didn’t explain the blush.” Eric said.
“I think it’s cute.” Madison said. The group all gives her a weird stare. “In a fun way.” Madison said smiling.
“Yeah, sure you do.” A familiar voice said. The group quickly changes their attention to the person that the voice came from. Sitting on one of the two empty chairs between Ella and Leo is Eric’s twin brother Brett. He is wearing a black polo shirt and jeans. He is enjoying a plate of food as the group reacts.
“Brett!” Jenna, Madison and Ella said in unison.
“Bro!” Eric said.
“Evil Eric!” Leo said.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Madison asks as she gets mad by his presence.
“You guys are having a party and I wanted some free food.” Brett replies.
“I mean what the hell are you doing at Greendale?” Madison asks.
“The last time we’ve heard from you, you wanted revenge on us for getting you fired from you weird little job with the Hawthorne estate.” Ella said.
“And you transferred to City College.” Leo said.
“And kicked me out of the apartment.” Eric said.
“Yeah, I’m the bad guy here.” Brett said as he continues eating. “Pass the mustard.” He said to Leo.
“You are because you’re the one that acted all crazy on us.” Jenna said.
“After you conned me, so that Pixie Love Struck can try and be in relationship with me.” Brett counters back as he takes the mustard from Leo.
Jenna groans. “How’s Stink Hands by the way?” she asks.
“I won’t know. We broke up.” Brett said as he squirts mustard onto a hotdog.
“Wait, you broke up with Melissa?” Eric asks.
“No, she dumped me.” Brett said as he starts eating the hotdog.
“Ohhhh.” The group said together.
“So does that mean you’re actually taking Madison’s offer?” Leo asks. Brett chokes on his hotdog. “I’ll take that as a no.” Leo said.
Brett splits out the hotdog remains that he was choking on. “No. I’m here because I transferred back to Greendale.”
“What!” The group shouts at Brett. Some of the partygoers stare at the group in confusion.
Jenna groans. “Party’s over! Out now!” Jenna yells at the partygoers. The partygoers groan in disappointment as they quickly leave the study room. Brett stares in interest as the room empties to just him and the group.
“That seems rude.” Brett said.
“Coming from you, I’m taking that as a compliment. Besides, this needs to be handled in private. Ella, lock the back door.” Jenna said as she gets up and turns off the music and closes the front door of the study room. Ella gets up and locks up the back door. She then returns to her seat. Jenna sits down as she glares at Brett. “Alright then, why the hell are you really back here?” Jenna asks.
“Seriously, you think I like coming back here.” Brett said calmly. “Melissa goes to City College too. So in order to not deal with the break up, I transferred back here.” He said.
“You’re a shallow two bit son of a …” Madison said before she is cut off.
“Madison!” Eric said, stopping Madison. He gives a worry look to his twin brother. “Could we chat in private? Brother to brother?” He asks.
“Yeah, sure.” Brett said coolly.
The two brothers stand up as they start to walk out of the room.
“Umm, Eric. You sure that’s a good idea?” Ella asks.
“Yeah, we’re brothers remember.” Eric said.
“Just be careful.” Ella said.
“Okay.” Eric said as he smiles. Brett studies their little interaction as he and his brother walk out.
“I don’t like this. Usually evil twins don’t like any interaction with their good counterparts.” Ella said.
“Ella, don’t worry about it. Eric can handle himself once in a while.” Jenna said.
“I’m not sure. He told me, that they always argue all the time when they were kids.” Leo said.
“I hate Brett. I don’t know what the hell I saw in him.” Madison said.
“Probably his abs.” Jenna replies.
“Jenna!” Madison said. Jenna giggles at Madison.
“Well, this party got ruined but at least we still got all this food.” Leo said as he goes for seconds.

Eric and Brett walk together side by side at the quad. They come to a stop in front of the Luis Guzman statue.
“So what happened with Melissa?” Eric asks as he turns to face his brother.
“Why do you care about it?” Brett asks.
“Cause you didn’t do the dumping. I’ve seen all the girls you go through and you always dump them first.” Eric said.
“Why does that matter to you?” Brett asks amuse.
“Because I’m your twin and you’re my brother. We might not get along but I at least have to care about you a little bit.” Eric said.
Brett groans at Eric. “Fine, Melissa broke up with me because her hands smelled worst after she got another promotion at the zoo.” Brett said.
“Really?” Eric asks, giving a worry look at his brother.
“No, that’s not what happened. She duped me because she didn’t like my attitude.” Brett said.
“You do know you’re a jerk right?” Eric asks honestly.
“That never bothers me.” Brett said. He starts to walk away.
“Hey! Where do you think you’re going?” Eric asks. He catches up to his brother.
“Leaving. You only wanted to talk to me about what happened with Melissa.” Brett said.
“Yeah, but I have something else to say to you.” Eric said. Brett stops walking. He changes his attention to Eric. Eric takes a deep breath. “If you plan to stay here, I don’t want you anywhere near my study group. You hurt their feelings and that’s not cool. They are good people and they don’t need to deal with you.” Eric said.
“You have no control over what I can and can’t do!” Brett said.
“If you can’t respect that, then you’re going to have to face me.” Eric said.
Brett laughs. “You’re threating me?” He asks calmly.
“Yeah.” Eric said.
They stare each other down, Brett slowly gives a smile. “Okay. I’ll respect that.” He said.
“Wait, what?” Eric ask, shock by his answer.
“I’ll respect it. I only came to that room because of the food. I don’t want anything to do with you guys. Later.” Brett said as he walks away.

Eric returns to Study Room F to find all the food eaten. Leo looks tired as it seems that he was the one to eat most of the food. Jenna notices Eric’s return. “Hey, you’re back.” Jenna said.
“Yeah.” Eric said as he sits at his seat.
“So where’s Brett?” Madison asks.
“He’s not going to be a problem with us anymore.” Eric said proudly. He notices that one of their seats is missing someone. “Where’s Ella?” He asks.

Brett enters the driver seat of his black Jaguar XJ (X300). He rounds down the window of his driver seat. “Why are you truly here?” A voice said from the backseat. Brett is caught off guard as he looks behind him to see Ella sitting in the backseat.
“Get out of my car right now!” Brett commands.
“No! Not until you tell me why you’re really here.” Ella said.
“Like I would tell you anything.” Brett said.
“Really?” Ella asks amuse. “You’re obviously hiding something. From studying your ego, you’re not okay with your brother’s request.” Ella said.
“I’m respecting it as his brother.” Brett said.
“Oh, cut the crap. You’re never respect Eric.” Ella said.
“I don’t but then again I’m not the one that likes him.” Brett counters. Ella’s face shows no emotions. “So much that you wouldn’t mind being more than just his friend.” He said.
Ella doesn’t faze at Brett’s truth bomb, too much. “Yeah, but I don’t think it would happen anytime soon.” Ella said slowly. She didn’t want to get an answer from him anymore. She opens the door of the backseat as she gets out of the car. Brett sighs as he starts the car. Ella walks to the driver’s seat window and kisses Brett on the cheek. Brett is caught off guard again as he looks at Ella in shock. “Don’t take it personal. I may know the physical differences between you two like how Eric’s head and jaw is rounder than yours, that you’re a bit taller than him or that you have a mole on your left ear but I needed to do that so I know the sexual differences between you two. And I must say it taste a lot like I suspect. Like a piece of burnt charcoal. Good day Brett, and screw you.” Ella said.
She walks away as Brett looks on in confusion. “This place is going to be the death of me.” He grumbles as he drives away.

“Oh, that’s nice.” Shirley said as she walks away.
“So does that mean you have a thing for…” Madison starts to said.
“Oh god, Madison.” Jenna interrupts. “I’m going to get an aneurism, if you keep this up. You know what? I’m not going to date anyone while I’m at Greendale.” Jenna states.
“Oh, good. So does that mean I get first picks with any that comes your way?” Madison asks.
Jenna groans as she realizes what Madison just did. “Uggh, you really need to get a boyfriend.” Jenna said.
“So you want to help me?”
“No.”
“So you want to help me?”
“No.”
They continue to walk the hallway as Madison bugs Jenna some more.
