I want to put "Protecting Me" on hold for a while so I can start fresh again. Maybe, I should start writing short stories or one-shots. Because I got a little tired on writing "A Neverending Dream" and now I'm a little sick of writing "Protecting Me". So, this is the story I've been dieing to write. "A, B, C's". I know it sounds like a kid's story. Oh, but trust me. It's not. It's an AU fic, which means no giants, no gods and that happily means no Cronus, and no other stuff that has to do with Class of the Titans. Well our favorite gang finished their last year of school and everyone except Archie and Atlanta are starting their second year of university and/or college. Archie and Atlanta just got their grade 12 degree and this is their last summer until they go out to university and/or college. Enjoy! And if you're confused for some reason, read my profile and it'll explain this story.
Summary: "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson.
Light footsteps were heard from downstairs, the footsteps were lightly running across the hallway, but the steps were pretty fast. I was obviously running. But what was I running from? Everyone else did not know, nor did they want to. The footsteps lightly ran across to my room, and locked the door shut. I pushed my back against the door and started to breathe heavily. I shrieked as I saw my hunter sitting on a cushiony chair. 'Crap.' I thought as I pressed my form against the door, waiting for the hunter to pounce. He smiled and jumped from the chair and ran to his prey, I quickly dodged and jumped over my bed, standing on the other side of the room. He ran around the bed and was ready to pounce again, but I easily dodged again.
I started laughing until I tripped over one of my roller blades. I shrieked as I hit the floor with a thud. Everyone else from downstairs looked up at the ceiling once they heard the thud, but went back to what they were doing.
"NO!!" I shrieked as the hunter pounced once again, but this time..he didn't miss. The victim, that's me, started laughing and screaming, tears rolling down my cheeks. His fingers tickling my sides, my hips and my waist. "S-Stop it!!" I said before laughing some more as he started tickling me faster and reached my back.
I let out a shriek as his fingers danced along my back. I started laughing even more as he started to nibble my neck, feeling the vibration of my vocal cords against his teeth.
"A-Archie!! Stop it!! P-Please!!" I screamed, kicking and begging for mercy.
"Never!" He replied, raising his face off of my neck and tickling me like there was no freakin tomorrow.
I breathed in one huge gasp of air and said, "If-If you really l-loved me, you'd s-stop tickling m-e!!" I teased.
Ha ha! Gotcha that time! Now what are you going to say about that?!
Archie sighed in defeat and stood up, giving me time to catch my breath. I smiled, now was the chance for my revenge. I growled playfully and jumped on his back, just as he was about to leave my room. He let out a yell as he almost fell (hey that rhymed!) but he steadied himself and started laughing with me. He started to walk backwards to my bed and flung me off him. I landed on my bed on my back and started to giggle.
He started to mock my giggle and walked closer to me. He slowly started to fall once he hit the edge of the bed. I thought he was going to squish me, but his his hands caught mine before he could land and pinned my hands above my head. He stopped falling and his face was just above mine, he lowered his head to my lips and started to kiss me. I closed my eyes and started kissing him back, my pinned hands gripping his.
He removed his hands and grabbed my hips, he threw me so my head was laying on my pillow. He jumped on the bed and start crawling towards me. He got himself comfortable between my legs and started kissing me again. I brought my arms up to the back of his neck and wrapped my arm around him, while he was snaking his arms around my waist.
He rose his head again and told me, "Your lips taste like green apple." He smiled and lowered his lips to mine again.
What if I told you it was all meant to be
Would you believe me would you agree
It's almost that feeling we've met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come here and now
A moment like this
"I love you Lana." Archie whispered to me.
"I love you too Archie."
Some people wait a life time
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a life time for a moment like this
Archie started to rest kisses on my cheek and up to my ear. He slowly started to nip the skin around my ear but then lick it right after. He smiled as he could hear my whimpers. He moved up to my ear and started to bite my ear, feeling my hands grasp his shoulders. He started to lick the inside of my ear, while kissing the inside of it also, his hands rubbing up and down my waist.
I responded by kissing his neck, my hands moving on his shoulders and resting there. I started giving him little love nips. This isn't the first time we've done this. Nope. We always played games like this, especially when we're alone. Yep. We are a very naughty couple. Naughty. Naughty. Naughty. But, hey, it's a free country and it's fun, so we don't care.
He moved his mouth back to mine, wrapping his arms around my waist again, kissing me more deeply. He started to nip my bottom lip, letting his tongue explore the inside of my mouth as I gasped.
I felt his hands running down to the bottom of my shirt, and started to slowly raise it off my body. I wanted to stop him. I didn't want to do that now, not now. I was about to tell him to stop. But he replied,
"Don't worry. I'm not gonna do it. I just want to get this shirt off of you." He said and kissed me more firmly on my lips, tasting more of green apples with every kiss. He put his hands on my hips and started kissing my neck, once the shirt was clung off my body. He started to lick my collarbone lightly and started kissing my chest. He moved down and started nipping my stomach. He licked my stomach and rose to my lips again, our tongues twining as I entangled my fingers into his hair.
It was my turn. I moved from his mouth and started kissing his neck, raising his shirt off his body. I started running my hands all over his firm chest. I smiled and said, "Have you been working out?"
He grinned back at me and replied, "Bout time you noticed." He laughed. "I thought I would be working out for you for nothing."
Everything changes
But beauty remains
Some things so tender
I can't explain
Well I may be dreamin'
But 'till I awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share
"Hey." I said, looking at Archie.
"Mm." He said, planting kisses on my cheek.
"Wanna go beach?" I asked. I saw him move his mouth back to my ear and started nibbling it.
He moved his head so he was looking at me. "It's 9:00 p.m.!" He said.
I smiled up at him. "Exactly. Nobody's gonna be there, the sun's going down. Very romantic." I said.
He just groaned playfully and kissed my lips again.
"Buuuut. We don't have to if you don't want to." I said once we pulled apart.
He sighed in defeat. "Sure. Nothin' to do around here anyways."
I raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "You gave up that fast? Usually you just want to stay here and then we start arguing on whether or not we go somewhere else."
He smiled back at me and said, "Ya. But we stayed home ever since we got back from school. And I've been looking for you since then also."
"Oh, right." I said as I kissed him one last time before jumping up and saying, "Let's go." Grabbing his hand I ran out of my room and down the stairs.
But after we got our shoes on, I ran out the door but Archie stopped. "Where are the others? Shouldn't we tell them where we're going?" He asked.
"They went to Jade Trevalin's house to burn all their school stuff and they had a party afterwards. I'm sure they wouldn't care where we went. Oh, and I gave them our school stuff too. Is that okay?" I asked him just before I grabbed his hand.
Archie screamed in his head, 'Not it is not okay and don't you tell me it's okay!!! One of my notebooks had my poem at the back I was gonna give to you for our anniversary!! I was working on that for weeks!!' He wanted to scream, but he didn't. For obvious reasons. His eye just unnoticabley twitched and he said, "Ya. It's okay."
I smiled at him and took his hand. "Good. Now let's go. I wanna get there before nightfall." I said, running out of the building and down the street.

We both sat on the sand, warmed by the sunset, both out of breath. I sat between his legs with my head against his chest. He wrapped his arms around me and sat his chin on the top of my head. I sighed. "Wow. It's beautiful." I said, looking at the waters holding the pink, orange and yellow of the sun and completing the masterpiece witht he sparkles of the sun, twinkling on the water.
"I know. Wish the brownstone was right here on the beach. It would be cool having a beach house." He said.
"Ya. I've always wanted a beach house. But I got stuck living near a forest and a lake." I complained.
Archie laughed.
"What's so funny?" I asked, looking up at him.
"Just, the way you said it." He smiled.
"Ha ha." I laughed sarcastically.
"Sorry. It was just funny."
"Ya. Sure."
I sighed and layed my head against his chest, entangling my fingers with his. "Are you sure you're okay with the guys burning aaaall of your school stuff? Like, was there any...important stuff in any of your notebooks or...any personal notes you made to yourself or any...projects you were working on for weeks and you didn't want them burned and you would kill me if you didn't want them burned cause you were working on it for something really special or important? Cause you didn't look so sure when I asked."
That...really wanted to make Archie yell in anger. 'Why is she taunting me like this?! Nooo there was nothing important in any of my notebooks. Feel free to burn them all to a crisp!' He thought sarcastically.
"Arch?"
"Ya. It's okay. Really." He managed to say without yelling. 'I don't want to tell her that there was a special poem I was working on for her for our anniversary. She's feel so...guilty and...shocked and...shocked!'
"Well, okaay." I said.
Could this be the greatest love of all
I wanna know if you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this
Some people wait a life time
For a moment like this
"Oh, look!" I gasped, pointing to the first star in the sky as the sun was almost completely gone.
"What?" Archie asked, looking up at the sky.
"The first star in the sky. When I was little my mom said if you make a wish on the first star, you'll get good luck and you get good luck for something different everytime you make a wish." I smiled and said. "But you can't make the luck great on the thing you want, the luck kind of chooses for itself. And she told me I can only wish five times, since the luck can only help five things. Love, life, wealth, health, and emotion." I smiled and looked up at him. "And I can see that my first wish was luck on love."
Archie smiled back at me and leaned down to kiss me. "Really? Where'd your mom learn that?"
"I think she said it's a family belief. Something that my ancestors and family believed a long time ago."
"Oh. Cool. My family isn't really the family-spend-together kind of family. And my sister wanted us to spend time together but whenever we did, she felt it was kind of weird and wasn't what she expected."
"Ya. I have friends who are like that."
We both smiled as we saw the sun go down and more stars appearing in the velvet sky. "I can't remember the last time we spent time together like this." I said. "We barely spent any time together because of school, and the clubs we go to, and the things we help at school, and...other stuff."
"Well, we have a whole summer together. And this is our last summer before college or university. Even though, it doesn't surprise me how we both got accepted to the same colleges and universities."
I raised an eyebrow and gave him a questioning look. "How does that not surprise you?"
"Well, I mean come on, we both did the same courses this year, we both went to the same clubs at school, and we practically did the same things all our school lives. Now that you think about it, it's like you were expecting or you knew that we would be accepted to the same schools."
I gave a more powerful questioning look at him. "Hm. I guess you're right. And, ya I did kind of know that we would be going to the same school. It is kind of expecting." I said, turning around again so I was facing the ocean. I sighed and asked, "How long have we been dating?" I kinda forgot and I wanted to know.
"Almost year. Why?" He told me.
"Oh. Because I was wondering when our 1-year anniversary would be."
Hearing our anniversary, again, made Archie twitch. It made him so angry that the guys burned all his stuff. Especially the one that had my anniversary poem in it. "It's not until July 21st. And, yes I would know. I remembered our first date was last year on July 21st."
"Oh. Okay."

Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a life time

Ohhhh a moment like this
Ohhhh I can't believe it's happening to me
Archie yawned. "I'm getting tired. Wanna go back?"
"No. This is the first night in a while we got to have the night to ourselves. Can we stay here a bit longer?" I pouted. Ha ha. I know he can't resist.
"I hate it when you use your oh-so-irresistable face. With your...big eyes and...slightly pouted lip. You know me too well."
I laughed and let him tighten his arms around me. "I can't remember the last time we had a romantic moment like this either."
"I know. This was a busy year. But like I said, we get the summer to ourselves since the others are getting ready for their next year of university and college."
"Ya. So we practically do get the summer to ourselves." I smiled. It was all too perfect. I thought it wouldn't get better. But it was about to get so much better.
I"m not a psychic like Theresa, but I know that this summer is going to be the best summer of my life. I didn't know what was in store for me this summer, but I just know it's going to be great. Because I'll have Archie the whole time.
