AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story is completely AU and exists only in my mind. At first, my idea was to make this a slow burn multi chapter fic but then I decided that we have had enough slow burn and that I wanted this to be a fun and fluffy story with Oliver pursuing Felicity! YAY!

A Sky Full of Stars

Chapter 1:

Oliver pulled up to the back entrance of Verdant on his motorcycle and took a second to say a silent prayer that Tommy was able to get the club's computer systems up and running again. Last night, about an hour prior to closing, the entire POS system went down and no matter how hard they had tried they were unable to get it back up and running, leaving them unable to take and process orders or cash anyone out. The disaster ended up losing them over $1000 in sales for the night since they had to give away drinks for free after the crash. After having a slight melt down, Tommy had promised Oliver that he would make sure the system issues were resolved for the following night. They absolutely could not afford for the POS to be down on a Saturday night.

Oliver walked in the rear entrance of the club and headed for the first system unit behind the bar. One swipe of his finger and he knew that the system was still malfunctioning. Oliver took a deep breath to compose himself before he headed up the steps to confront Tommy. Tommy Merlyn had been his best friend for as long as he could remember. He was the brother he never had. He never once questioned his choice to partner with Tommy in opening up the club, but there were times that Tommy pushed him into a near maddening level of frustration. He knew he should have called their POS distributor himself.

Tommy did not do well with the "little glitches" in their industry. However, what he lacked in administration and management he made up for in enthusiasm and popular connections. Tommy knew all the right people, all the right DJs, and all the right ways to throw a party. He brought in famous mixologists known for their specialty drinks. He knew the right celebrities and personalities to bring in for guest bartending. The bands he brought in could pack a house tight and if there was one thing that Tommy knew how to do it was promote. From the moment the club doors had opened they were packed to capacity every night. Everyone wanted to dance at the club owned by the famous millionaire playboys Oliver Queen and Tommy Merlyn. They were already in talks about opening a second location in Coast City. They had a property picked out and where going to start negotiations to purchase it by the end of the month. Unfortunately, right now, Oliver could only be concerned about keeping the doors open at Verdant. He knew he was going to have to resolve the POS issue himself.

He walked into the office he shared with Tommy and was instantly greeted with a boisterous hello.

With a bright smile Tommy jumped out of his desk chair, "hey, buddy, morning! Can I get you a cup of coffee, cappuccino, chai tea? Anything! Just name it!"

Oliver sighed because it was almost impossible to stay angry at Tommy. "Let's not do this dance right now, Tommy. You know the one where you don't do something that I asked you to do; so you try to make it all better by catering to me like a damn personal assistant. I don't even want to know why the system isn't fixed. Just tell me when it will be up and running."

Tommy's silence was deafening.

"When," Oliver asked through clenched teeth.

"Yeah, they can't get anyone here to take a look at it until Monday," Tommy admitted sheepishly.

"Monday," Oliver roared! "We are supposed to open in five hours! How are we going to take orders? How will we complete the transactions so our patrons can pay for those orders? We lost a little over $1000 last night, Tommy!"

"Ollie, buddy, calm down, you're gonna give yourself gray hair! There's nothing to worry about! I have a plan."

Oliver covered his face with both hands and muttered, "Oh, God, I'm afraid to even ask." He dropped his hands back onto his lap and looked over at his friend who was pulling giant cardboard boxes out of the closet.

With a goofy smile Tommy walked over to Oliver and dropped the contents of the box onto his desk.

Oliver stared down and the pads of "Guest Check" order slips, pens, and hand held calculators and ball of dread formed in his stomach. "Yeah, Tommy, this is your best idea ever!" Oliver knew Tommy heard the sarcasm in his voice but just chose to ignore it.

"Felicity, let's go! The club is going to be closed before we even get there," Sara boomed from Felicity's living room.

Felicity had met Sara Lance at the local coffee shop she liked to stop at in the mornings before she headed to work at Queen Consolidated. They were there every day at the same time and got to be friendly after their orders were consistently confused with each other's once or twice a week. Finally, after months of hanging out, grabbing dinner, or catching a few drinks at the local dive bar Sara convinced Felicity to come out to the famous Club Verdant that was co-owned by Sara's soon to be brother-in-law and his best friend. Felicity really had no desire to meet Tommy Merlyn or Oliver Queen but it was Sara's sister's birthday and Laurel wanted to celebrate at Verdant with all of her friends. Felicity had met Laurel a few times and genuinely liked the young attorney and was honored to be invited to her birthday bash. It had taken a lot of convincing on Sara's part and a promise to buy Felicity the Game of Throne's newest boxed set when it was released, before Felicity eventually agreed to go to the party at the club.

It wasn't that Felicity didn't like to go out and have fun; because she did. She went out frequently to dinner and movies with friends. Her and Sara started shopping all the local thrift and antique stores and would find fun ways to upcycle all their silly purchases. And her favorite of all, was when her and all her friends would get together have a big pot luck supper, drink lots of wine, and play silly board games until they were laughing so hard they couldn't even continue. Those were the things that made Felicity happiest.

Felicity just didn't like hanging out with stuck up billionaire playboys that made a career of running through a different woman every night. Although from what she had gathered from Sara, Tommy and Oliver had grown out of their philandering ways. Apparently, once Tommy realized he was in love with Laurel, he never looked at another girl again. He liked to joke that he was a lady's man but Sara said that was all show. He was extremely loyal and dedicated to Laurel.

Oliver Queen was still a mystery though. Sara had never gone into specifics but from conversations she had with her friend and things she had heard on the local news Oliver had turned over a new lease on life after a bad motorcycle accident that had almost left him paralyzed. It wasn't something that the group of friends talked about a lot but it was an experience that had changed their friend's life forever.

Felicity was putting on the finishing touches of her make-up when Sara started banging on the bathroom door. "I swear to God, Smoak, if you don't get out of that bathroom in 30 seconds I am deleting everything in your DVR! And, I mean, EVERYTHING!"

Felicity opened the bathroom door with a smirk and rolled her eyes. "Please, Sara, that DVR is password protected. I don't take any chances with my TV shows."

Sara huffed out a laugh. "You're so adorkable, Felicity!"

Self-consciously Felicity did a little spin. "So, what do you think? Do I look ok?" Felicity wore a tight black mini dress with one shoulder and a turquoise color block design that wrapped around the waist of the dress. She paired the dress with black stilettos and delicate turquoise jewelry at her throat and ears.

Sara whistled. "You look completely amazing, Felicity! Super hot! You're totally going to find yourself a man tonight!"

Felicity laughed grabbed her purse and ushered Sara into the hall as she locked her apartment door. "Yes, I'm sure a beautiful billionaire is going to take one look at me and fall head over heels in love!"
