A/N: Hello again! I'm back with another little Author Drabble one-shot. This is for my dear friend, Felicia! And yes, it has nothing to do with my Lost Boys series. I haven't started my Paul/OC story yet and I don't know when I will. Soon, but I don't know when that soon will come. You'll just have to be patient. I have other Lost Boy stories for you to read in the meantime. Feel free to check them out on my page. Anyway, this is rather random, so you have been warned. Enjoy!

OOOOOOOOO

Two girls stood side-by-side on the boardwalk, looking down at a phone, trying to figure out why it wasn't working on them.

"Maybe you forgot to charge it again," the blonde one suggested, looking over at her best friend. "You do have a habit of doing that, my dearest."

Her best friend shook her head and shoved the phone back in her pocket. "Maybe. I don't think Mom and Dad will mind that I'm not going to call them tonight. It's fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. It's fine."

"Hey! Pretty ladies!" someone called out from behind them and it was immediately followed by loud, wild laughter.

The brunette looked over at her friend and frowned. "Did you just hear something stupid?"

Her friend smiled at her and nodded. "I think that I did."

The two turned around to see two blonds – one with curly hair and one with a mane of wild blond hair standing there, watching them with bright smiles on their faces. The one with the wild hair smiled and wiggled his fingers at them.

"Can we help you?" the brunette asked, crossing her arms over her chest while her friend waved back.

"Yeah," the wild blond said with a nod. "You two cuties could tell us your names."

"Ha-ha, no."

Her friend gripped her arm. "We're not supposed to talk to strangers. Even if they're hot."

The wild blond glanced over at the curly blond and smirked. "Okay then. Let's not be strangers. This here is Marko. And I'm Paul." He bowed at the waist. "See? Now we're not the strangers. You two are and that's not fair, now is it?"

"So anti up." Marko said, beckoning towards the girls with two fingers. "Come on, girls. Share with us. We won't bite."

"Much," Paul laughed, tossing his hair.

The blond girl smiled back at them and pointed at herself. "I'm Felicia Watson and my friend over there is…"

"Scarlet Holmes," the brunette said quickly, giving her friend a look.

Paul glanced over at Marko and put his tongue in his cheek. "That doesn't sound like your real name, Scarlet."

"Well, it is."

Felicia shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest. Marko smiled at her and wiggled his eyebrows, earning a laugh.

"Tell us her real name, Felicia," Marko said, moving closer to the blond. "Come on, you know you wanna."

Felicia shook her head again and danced backwards, putting herself behind Scarlet. "No way! My dearest friend would kill me if I told you that her name was anything but Scarlet! And it really is her name! I swear that it is! I swear!"

Scarlet smirked up at Paul as he moved closer to her and peered into her green eyes, challenging him to do something. Is he really smelling me? Scarlet wondered when she saw him breathe in deeply. Wait! Is there something more to these Boys than meets the eye?

"Okay then, Scarlet," Paul said, pulling back slightly. "Why do you two seem so lost here?"

"Because we're not from here," Felicia supplied from behind Scarlet. "I'm from Europe and she's from way across the country. We're just visiting here."

"We couldn't tell," Marko said, plucking at Scarlet's hair and yanking out her ponytail. "Not by your charming accents."

"Hey!" Scarlet protested, watching him toss her hairband over the side of the boardwalk. "That was mine!"

"And now it's not," Marko said smugly. "Really, your hair is better down, Scarlet."

"It really is, dearest," Felicia agreed.

"Uh-huh," Scarlet huffed, crossing her arms. Paul tapped her on the shoulder. "And what is it now, Paul?"

"You seem familiar," he commented, tilting his head to the side. "Have we met before?"

"My dearest friend already told you that I'm from out of town," Scarlet told him, tapping her chin thoughtfully. "But I did date a Paul once."

He laughed. "I thought I remembered you." The wild blond poked her on the tip of her nose. "You were definitely yummy when we were together."

Scarlet snapped her teeth at him and he danced backwards, laughing at her.

Felicia laughed at her too. "You didn't tell me that you dated a hot guy, Scarlet."

"That's because I didn't. My Paul was nowhere near as hot as this guy," Scarlet said, jerking her thumb in the direction of the laughing blond. "And I would have definitely remembered someone like you," she told Paul, looking back at him. "But you seem familiar too. Like I should keep my distance from you."

"Well, I don't want you to," Paul told her. "I want you and Felicia to come play with us. Right Marko?"

"Yeah," Marko agreed, wrapping his arm around Felicia's shoulders and pulling her close to his side. "We could show you two around and party all night. Because that's what friends do."

"Friends?" Felicia smiled and looked over at Scarlet. "We have got to hang out with them, Scarlet! Please!"

"Yeah, Scarlet!" Paul said, jumping around her. "Please, please, please!"

Scarlet smiled despite herself as Marko joined in on the chant of please. "Okay, okay. We can hang out with these guys, Felicia. Since we've got nothing better to do." She put her tongue in her cheek. "I mean, we haven't had the chance to hang out with hot guys before now, have we?"

Felicia raised her hand. "I have!"

"Celebrities don't count, dearest."

"Oh."

"They do too," Marko told her, resting his cheek against Felicia's head. "Scarlet's just jealous because she's never met a celebrity, have you?"

Scarlet shook her head and ducked as Paul tried to put his arm around her shoulders. "Ha! Missed me!" She stuck her tongue out at him and danced out of his reach. "Do not touch me!"

"Scarlet!" Felicia said, shaking her head at her best friend. "You should be nicer. These two are just trying to be friendly."

Scarlet turned to look at her friend and then let out a small yelp as Paul wrapped his arms around her, crushing her against his chest.

"Ha!" he laughed in her ear as he twisted her in his arms. "I've got you now, Scarlet! And there's nothing that you can do about it!"

Scarlet sighed and patted him on the arm, giving up. Paul lifted her up slightly and turned around before setting her on the ground again. He started walking with her in his arms, which was a sight, she had to admit. And she heard Marko and Felicia fall into step behind them. Felicia patted her on the shoulder and smiled.

"See? I told you that we were going to find some fun here, my dearest," she whispered to her, blue eyes sparkling.

"What's with the whole 'my dearest' bit?" Marko asked, looking between the two girls as Paul continued to waddle with Scarlet.

"It's an inside thing," Felicia told him with a happy smile. "You wouldn't understand, Marko."

"Probably not." He shifted her out of his arms and pulled her towards a line. "Come on. Let's go on a big rollercoaster! I want to hear you scream like little girls!"

"I want to hear you scream like a little girl," Scarlet shot back, smiling at him as Paul followed after him and her best friend. "Seriously, you think that is a big roller coaster? I've seen bigger ones back home."

"And where is your home, Scarlet dearest?" Paul asked, looking down at her.

Scarlet shook her head at his question. "Guess."

"Umm…Tennessee?"

"Wrong!"

"Georgia?"

"Uh, please!"

"Ohio?"

"Close," Felicia said, making a face over her shoulder at him. "She came from Ohio, but she doesn't live there anymore. Try again, Paul."

Paul snapped his fingers and smiled at Scarlet. He brought his lips to her ear and whispered his answer in her ear. She lifted an eyebrow at him when he pulled back.

"Well?"

"You got me."

"Yes!" He pressed a loud kiss to her forehead that left her surprised. "Hey! Look at that, Marko! I got her blushing!"

Felicia and Marko glanced back at Scarlet and Paul and burst out laughing. Scarlet shook her head and looked down at her feet. She lifted one of her feet and brought it down on one of Paul's. He jumped back and made a tsking sound.

"Bad, Scarlet, bad," he said, giving her a squeeze around the middle. "Old Paul is not going to hurt you, if you play nicely with him. And we're going to be best friends tonight. You'll see."

Scarlet smiled as the line moved forward, getting an idea. "So, you really want to have fun with me and my dearest, Paul?"

"Yep!"

"Then how about we mess with some of these idiots on the boardwalk?"

Paul laughed and leaned his face down next to hers. "Go on, Scarlet. I'm listening."

Marko and Felicia pressed in close to, listening for Scarlet's sneaky plan as she didn't come up with them often. Well, not around the two Boys that they had just met and she and Felicia didn't get to meet up often with the ocean between them. Scarlet sighed and shook her hair out, waiting just a moment.

"Before we even get on that wimpy little rollercoaster that you think is so big, we should be all crazy," Scarlet told the group. "Screaming and all that nonsense. Put on a show. And then as soon as the thing starts moving, we should try, try to be serious. No screaming. No smiles. Nothing." She pointed a finger up at Marko. "I don't want to see one smile on your Cherub's face once we start moving, Marko. I mean it. I'll have my dearest watching your every move."

Felicia smiled at Marko. "I'll watch him."

"I promise to be serious," Marko said, making a crossing motion over his heart. He lifted his eyes to Paul. "But I don't think that he can do it. It'll kill him."

Scarlet and Felicia looked at Paul when he made a shocked sound. "Paul…"

"How dare you!" he said, shaking his head with a smile on his face. "I can be serious."

"Seriously?" Felicia laughed.

"I can." Paul nodded his head. "It'll hurt, but I can do it."

Scarlet elbowed him in the stomach and then turned around when he released her, watching him rub his stomach. "How about this, Paul? I'll give you a prize if you can make it through this without cracking a smile."

"Ooh! A prize!" Paul's eyes lit up and he dropped his hand from his stomach, starting to bounce on the balls of his feet. "I love prizes! Tell me, tell me!"

Scarlet crossed her arms over her chest and stuck her chin out. She had no idea why she was going to do this, but she was and she hoped that she wasn't going to have to go through with it.

"If by some small chance you can keep yourself from breaking out into a smile or wild laughter during the ride," Scarlet said, tapping her fingers against her arm. "I'll let you have a dance with me."

"Dearest!" Felicia gasped, blue eyes widening in surprise.

Paul's lips twitched. "You're not fooling? You'll let me dance with you, Scarlet?"

Scarlet nodded. "Yep, but I've got my eye on you, Paul. If I see you crack even one smile. No deal." She stuck her hand out and put her pinky in the air. "Pinky swear on it."

Paul let out a loud hyena-like laugh and wrapped his pinky around hers. "Oh, girl! I am so going to love dancing with you tonight! And you're going to be blushing like a tomato when I'm done with you, it's going to be cute!"

A shiver went down Scarlet's spine, but she made no comment. She quickly jumped farther up the line with her best friend and the two blonds. They started making a fuss about the ride, surprising the other people in the line, but obviously not caring about it. When they made it to the front of the line and onto the ride, Paul pulled Scarlet onto the second cart behind Marko and Felicia and they stilled, becoming serious in an instant as the rollercoaster started moving. People behind them started screaming as the rollercoaster plunged down the hill, but they didn't.

OOOOOOOOO

"And this is how Lost Boys dance with Lost Girls," Paul said, moving his body against Scarlet's while Marko and Felicia watched after getting off of the rollercoaster. He had his hands on her hips and she was trying very hard to keep hold of her tongue. "See? You can handle it, Scarlet. And you're blushing for me! Ha! You're definitely a virgin!"

"We could change that," Marko commented, smoothing his hand down Felicia's arm and the blond giggled.

"Don't do that to my dearest," Felicia ordered, shaking her head. "Her parents would kill her. I'd kill you both and that would be a shame. Because we talk to each other everyday and I like reading her writings."

Scarlet smiled over at her friend and then made a small sound of protest when Paul gyrated his hips against hers. "Hey! Who said that you could do that with me, Paul?"

Paul laughed and shook his head, pulling Scarlet closer to him. "I did. And you did say that I could dance with you. You just didn't say how, Scarlet. So, let's dance, cutie."

Scarlet shook her head and let him spin her around and around until she got dizzy. She collapsed in his arms and blew her hair out of her face, feeling the vibrations of his laughter against her cheek. Paul patted her on the back and let her push herself back away from him.

"Felicia, we need to go have a private moment," she announced suddenly.

"Oh!" Felicia broke away from Marko and held her hand out to her friend, who immediately took it. "We'll be right back Boys."

Scarlet tugged her best friend in the direction of the restroom hut and slid inside before closing the door behind them. She sighed as she saw the line that had built up there and frowned as she released Felicia's hand.

"That was fun," Felicia said, shoving her hands into the pockets of her jeans. "I hope that we get to spend some more time with Paul and Marko and the other two that they keep talking about."

"Uh-huh. Sure, you do, dearest." Scarlet smiled slightly, finding a hairband in her pocket and pulling her hair up into a sleek ponytail. "We both have a thing for men in leather. Especially after seeing that movie that bonded us, didn't we? I'm so glad that we connected over the internet. And that we finally got to hang out together this year."

"Me too!" Felicia reached out and squeezed Scarlet's hand. "I hate that it has to end tomorrow though. We could have spent more time with the Boys on the boardwalk."

"I know. It'd be nice. But we have to get home. And I don't think I could stand getting humped much more by Paul." She shook her head. "He has issues, you know."

"I've noticed."

Paul and Marko were waiting outside the hut when Felicia and Scarlet came out several minutes later. Felicia immediately ducked back under Marko's arm, but Scarlet danced out of Paul's reach, shaking her head at his goofy smile. She was starting to feel uncomfortable, like there was something going on in her head that she didn't want people to know about. Certainly not her friend and definitely not these new guys.

"Scarlet!" Paul whined, chasing after her much to the delight of Felicia and Marko. "Come back here, you!"

Scarlet laughed and darted off into the crowd, running across the boardwalk. She could hear Paul laughing behind her and wondered how he could be so fast.

He's not normal, Scarlet decided, putting on a burst of speed. Neither of them is. And I'm okay with that. I hope that Felicia is too.

"Woo! Scarlet!" Paul called out from behind her. "I'm coming for you, girly! You're not getting away from me!"

"Well, you're going to have to throw me over your shoulder when you catch me then!" Scarlet called over her shoulder. "Because I ain't letting you catch me that easily, Paul!"

"My dearest," Felicia called out from somewhere farther behind her. "Watch out!"

Scarlet made a small sound when she ran into something solid and bounced back, but strong hands steadied her. "Ouch!" she complained. "Sorry…Sorry…" She looked up and was instantly captivated by the ice blue eyes of the man staring down at her. "Uh…hi."

The man smirked down at her, his hands still gripping her arms. "Hello."

"David," Paul said, stopping behind her. "I see you met my little friend. Isn't she cute?"

"So, you're David, huh?" Scarlet asked, trying very hard not to stare at his perfect face or his body so close to hers. Her green eyes slid over to the dark-haired Boy next to him. "And you must be Dwayne."

The guy next to him nodded and smiled slightly. "Hey."

"And who are you?" David asked, looking down at her.

"Scarlet," the girl told him.

"We still don't think it's her real name," Marko said, popping up with Felicia at his side. "But Felicia here says that it is."

"Hi there," Felicia said, waving at Dwayne, who smiled and waved back.

"Really?" David lifted an eyebrow and his blue eyes stared down into Scarlet's with a strange intensity. The girl squirmed in his arms. "I might be able to get it out of her."

"You won't because Scarlet is my name, David," Scarlet insisted, squirming more. She was getting a headache. "I wouldn't lie to you. I don't lie to friends. Much."

"She really doesn't," Felicia agreed, nodding her head.

"Can we play with them some more, David?" Paul asked, bouncing on his toes. "Please? I think we could make them proper Lost Girls out of this night."

David tilted Scarlet's head to the side and shook his head. "Not with these cutesy panda earrings, they won't be."

"Hey!" Scarlet snapped, smacking his hand aside. "There is nothing wrong with pandas!"

"What's a panda?" Marko asked, looking confused as he bit his thumbnail.

Felicia looked surprised. "You don't know what a panda is?"

Marko shook his head.

"I don't think we can be friends now." She hurried over to Dwayne's side and ducked under his arm, letting him pull her to his side. "Sorry Marko."

Marko pouted and crossed his arms, looking away.

Scarlet squirmed out of David's arms and walked away from the group as they started laughing. She patted her pockets, looking for something that she knew wasn't there. All she had on her was some money, her phone which was dead, and her hotel key.

"Dammit," she cursed under her breath, pushing back a stray strand of hair.

"Is something wrong?" David's voice came from behind her.

Scarlet sighed. "It's nothing. Don't worry about it."

"It's something or you wouldn't have walked away." David put his hand on her shoulder and turned her so that she faced him. "So, start talking, Scarlet. I'm not that bad of a person to talk to."

"I just met you," Scarlet told him, putting her hands on her hips. "Why should I bring you in on my problems?"

David's eyes gleamed. "Because I fucking said so. I'm concerned. As a friend should be." He pressed in closer to her so that he loomed over her, but Scarlet wasn't that intimidated by him. "Talk to me, Scarlet."

Scarlet looked down at his chest and sighed again. "Fine. Since you won't leave me alone until I talk…I'm having issues at the moment. And not normal girly issues that boys know girls have. No, these are mental issues that are far worse than depression and all that bull."

"Does your friend know about this?" David asked, his hand tightening for a moment on her shoulder.

"Of course, she does. She knows that I have a mental health issue, but she doesn't know that I didn't pack enough pills to deal with them. I ran out of them last night." She shook her head. "I thought I'd packed enough, but I didn't. And that was very, very stupid of me." She smacked her hand against the side of her head. "Stupid!"

David grabbed her hand in his and held it away from her. "Stop. You are not stupid. It's okay to forget these things, Scarlet. No harm can come from not taking a pill for a day or two. Right?"

Scarlet shrugged and tried to pull her hand free, but David's hand was like a prison. "I don't know. I really don't. I just know that I don't feel great right now, David. And I don't want her to know about it. I don't want anyone to know about it. So, can you please do me a favor and not tell anyone? Please?"

His ice blue gaze held hers for a long moment before he nodded. "Yeah, I won't talk about it." He slid his hand along her arm until he could slide his fingers between hers and squeezed them. "Are you hungry, Scarlet?"

"A little," Scarlet admitted, feeling strange about this weird tenderness that this attractive stranger was showing her. "Felicia and I haven't eaten since lunch."

"Then we'll feed you," David told her.

"Okay then." Scarlet turned her gaze away from him and her lips twitched at the corner. "We might want to get her away from Dwayne though. She's getting a bit…um, handsy with him."

David followed her gaze and smirked. "And he's not stopping her."

"Felicia!" Scarlet said, pulling David after her. "Dearest, cool it down a bit!"

"Dwayne, watch your fucking hands!" David ordered.

OOOOOOOOO

David bought Scarlet and Felicia each fully loaded nachos and he sat next to Scarlet with Paul on her other side. Felicia, who had cooled down a little bit, sat between Marko and Dwayne, looking content with herself. She kept giggling as she talked with Dwayne and Marko, who were helping themselves to her nachos and Dwayne had his arm wrapped around her shoulders. Paul kept snatching up some of Scarlet's nachos, laughing and making jokes with the other Boys while David smoked a cigarette next to Scarlet. Scarlet smiled at her friend and nibbled on a jalapeno slice.

"Okay," she said, flicking Paul's hand off of her thigh. "What did I tell you about touching me?"

"Not to do it," Paul laughed, putting his tongue in his cheek. "But I think you're squishy and it's adorable!"

"Uh-huh." Scarlet felt someone tugging on her hair and then her hair fell around her shoulders. "David!" She turned her head to see him twirling her hairband around his finger. "Give that back!"

"Nope!" He tossed it out into the ocean that they were sitting near. "It's gone now, Scarlet." His blue eyes gleamed as he looked at her. "You look better with your hair down."

"That was my last one," Scarlet complained, crossing her arms over her chest. "And I need those for work!"

She looked away from him and huffed. Felicia lowered her nacho from her lips and frowned.

"Dearest, you really do look better with your hair down," she said softly.

Scarlet stuck her tongue out at her friend. She shivered when David reached out and ran his fingers through her hair, stroking it. People playing with her hair had always been a calming thing for her and she wondered if he knew that without really knowing anything about her.

Okay, this is getting to be a bit much, Scarlet thought, tilting her head slightly towards his hand. I shouldn't be getting carried away like this. Not over some guy like David. I'm smarter than that. I won't be seeing him again after tonight.

"Hmm…I see someone is getting comfortable," David commented, his fingers rubbing against her scalp now. "Some women just can't resist me."

Scarlet made a small annoyed sound and pulled her head away from him, putting a nacho in her mouth.

"Hey!" Paul said, shaking his head. "It's women that can't resist me! I'm hotter and I've got the moves!"

"Keep telling yourself that," David growled and his hand slid along Scarlet's back.

Scarlet gave him a look. "You need to stop touching me, David. Like now."

"And if I don't want to?"

"Then you can kiss my ass."

David smirked at her and gestured at the table. "Bend over then. I'll do it right in front of the Boys."

Felicia and the other Boys laughed at Scarlet's little growl. She was getting feisty tonight.

"Oh, shove it up your ass!"

"Nah, I'd rather shove it up yours," David shot back, still smirking at her. "You'd enjoy it more, Scarlet."

Scarlet shook her head and scooped up a nacho, shoving it into his mouth before he could say something else. "Shut up and eat something, dammit! You're annoying me with your tongue."

"I bet he could do something else with his tongue," Paul commented with a laugh.

"Paul!" Felicia exclaimed, shaking her head.

"Yeah Paul," Dwayne said, putting his hands over Felicia's ears. "Don't you know that we're in the presence of young girls?"

Felicia shoved his hands off of her ears and settled back against Dwayne's naked chest. "It's not that, Dwayne. I'm used to dirty talk, but I don't think that Scarlet appreciates it while she's in a mood."

Scarlet shook her head again and looked back at David. He smirked at her and licked the cheese from his lips, catching her staring at him. She felt another shiver going down her spine and tore her gaze away from David.

"Ugh! Men!" she complained, shoving her nacho basket aside and scooping up her pop.

"Virgin," Paul teased.

"Pest," Scarlet shot back.

"Tease," David whispered.

"Asshole."

"You better kiss him for that one," Dwayne said, looking between her and David with a smile on his face. "He doesn't look happy."

Felicia clapped her hands excitedly and her blue eyes sparkled. "Yes!"

"Kiss him!" Marko chanted, smacking his hand on the table. "Kiss him! Kiss him!"

Scarlet sucked on her straw and gave the Boys an annoyed look. She popped her straw from her lips and frowned. "I am not kissing him."

"Dearest," Felicia pouted.

"Felicia, no."

David's hand snaked around her head and pushed her face in his direction. Scarlet's eyes widened as his lips pressed against hers and she made a small sound as she pressed her hand against his chest, feeling his hard muscles under the fabric of his shirt. He chuckled softly as he pulled away from her, his blue eyes glinting.

"That was a good one, Davie!" Paul laughed, poking Scarlet's side. "Do it again!"

"No!" Scarlet protested, scooting backwards away from David and bumping into Paul. "I am not kissing him again." Even though it was good. Okay, nope. Don't think that! Don't do it!

"Chicken," David said, tapping her on the thigh.

Marko and Paul started making chicken sounds. Scarlet let out a growl and threw a handful of nacho chips at each of them. They laughed and fell off the table onto the ground. Felicia sighed and shook her head.

"Dearest, what am I to do with you tonight?" she asked as Dwayne pressed a kiss to her temple.

"I don't know," Scarlet muttered, lifting a hand and pointing it at David as he scooped up her drink and took a sip of it. "Maybe keep him off of me."

David wiggled an eyebrow at her. Scarlet snapped her teeth at him and he smirked at her.

I need a new hobby, Scarlet thought, running her fingers through her hair rather than strangle David. Like not killing people and thinking about boys in leather.

"So, what do you girls want to do now?" Paul asked, popping back up onto his feet. "We can take you anywhere on the boardwalk and party!"

Felicia smiled and leaned her elbows on the table. "Is there a concert going on tonight?"

"Probably," Dwayne said, nodding his head. "There's always a band playing. Why?"

Felicia pointed at Scarlet. "My dearest has never been to a concert."

The Boys all stared at Scarlet like she had suddenly sprouted another head. Scarlet shrugged her shoulders and stole her drink back from David, not caring about swapping spit with him anymore. He had kissed her after all.

"And she's how old?" Marko asked.

"A lady never reveals her age," Felicia said, shaking her head.

"I'm a lady," Scarlet muttered, smiling at the Cherub-faced blond.

"We couldn't tell," David said, tugging at her hair again. "Not with your sharp tongue."

Scarlet swatted at his hand, but he caught it and held it firmly in his. She made a small annoyed sound in the back of her throat and sucked fiercely on her straw.

"So, we're definitely taking them to a concert," Paul said, nodding his head. "Because we gotta make sure that we make Scarlet a non-virgin about concerts." He put his tongue in his cheek. "Unless she has other ideas too."

Scarlet popped her straw out of her mouth. "Can I kick him between the legs? Please? Just once?"

The Boys shifted uncomfortably at her words. She was happy to see that even David winced a little. But only a little.

"Aw, c'mon Scarlet," Paul whined, nudging her with his elbow. "Don't be like that. We're just fooling around."

Scarlet pushed him off of her and shook her head. David rose to his feet and chucked her basket of nacho crumbs into the nearest trashcan. She watched him for a moment before he turned to look at her. He offered her his hand and Scarlet stared at it.

"I'm not going to bite you," he told her. "It's just a hand, Scarlet."

Scarlet reached out and took hold of David's hand, letting him pull her to her feet. The platinum blond pulled her to his side and slid his arm around her shoulders, rubbing his hand along her arm. Scarlet, against her better judgment, leaned into him and started walking with him as the others followed along after them.

OOOOOOOOOO

Scarlet watched as Marko went to work on Felicia's shirt, undoing some of the bottom buttons before tying them in a creative knot at the concert. Felicia looked like she was having fun as Dwayne pulled her into a dance and Marko bounced on his feet right behind them. She had to admit that the band was a good one and that she too was having fun. David was holding her in his arms while Paul jumped around like a fool, throwing his fist in the air.

This is nice, Scarlet thought, not stiffening when David rested his chin on top of her head. I'm not twitching like I thought I would be without my meds and I'm not being teased at the moment. Felicia is having fun. The band is good. Everything is okay.

David started humming and she felt the vibrations against her back. Scarlet slid her own arms around his and rubbed her fingers against his arms. David chuckled and shifted her slightly in his arms, swaying gently with her now.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" Scarlet asked, speaking quietly under the music.

"Yep. Are you?"

"I'm okay. Not great, but I'm okay."

David lowered his mouth to her ear, his breath tickling her. "How are you really feeling, Scarlet?"

"I'm okay, David. Honestly, I am. I just feel strange being held. I've never been held like this before, okay?" She patted him on the arm again. "But it's nice. Even if it's you holding me."

David let out a gentle growl. "Well, I'm not about to let anyone else hold you."

"Why is that?" She pointed towards Paul as he flirted with some girls. "He likes me too, apparently."

"Well, he can fuck off. I'm the one holding onto you for the night. And you can just deal with it."

Scarlet sighed. "Okay then."

David spun her around in his arms and put his hands on her hips, pulling her body flush against his. Scarlet made a small sound and put her hands on his chest instinctively, fingers gripping the front of his inner jacket. She looked up into his eyes as his body started moving against hers to the music and she saw him smirk down at her.

"You gotta problem dancing with me?" he asked her, lifting an eyebrow.

"I just have a problem dancing, period." Scarlet admitted, shaking her head, even as her body moved with his. "I can't dance."

He looked down at their moving bodies. "You seem to be doing just fine."

"Keep telling yourself that." She gestured with her eyes over at Felicia, who was still dancing with Dwayne. "She is clearly a better dancer than I ever will be."

David shook his head and smirked. "I'm not interested in blonds. I have too many blond brothers in the family."

"And I have too many blond sisters, but I still love my best friend like a sister." She tapped him on the chest. "So, don't say anything bad about her, David."

"I didn't say that I had a problem with Felicia. I just said that I wasn't interested in her."

"Oh. Then who are you interested in?"

"Guess, little Lost Girl."

Scarlet made a face. "I'm not a Lost Girl."

"You are tonight." His eyes glinted. "So, guess."

"Someone really, really hot and with big breasts," Scarlet said, thinking off the top of her head. "She's about five eight and has an hour-glass figure. And she can dance. And has a charming personality."

David rolled his eyes. "Not even close."

"I'm bad at guessing games."

"Obviously."

Scarlet sighed and settled closer to him, sliding her hands farther up his chest until they touched his shoulders. "Will you just tell me then? I despise guessing games. And I don't know her anyway. I won't meet her before I leave tomorrow. So, there's no harm in you telling me who you are interested in." She tapped her fingers against his broad shoulders. "I told you about my issues. You can tell me about your interests."

David looked down at her and tilted his head to the side. His tongue darted out across his lips, wetting them. "Do you really want to know?"

Scarlet watched his tongue until it slid back into his mouth and had to mentally shake herself. "Don't play games with me, David. Just tell me."

"Say please."

"No."
He rolled his body against hers and she made a small sound at the back of her throat, trying to pull herself away from him. But he tightened his grip on her hips, holding her in place. This was getting awkward and dangerous.

"Say it."

"It."

"Scarlet."

Scarlet smirked up at him. "What?"

David shook his head. "I'll tell you since you're going to be a bitch about it."

"It's one of my finer qualities."

The Lost Boy rested his forehead against hers and looked her dead in the eye. "I'm interested in a girl about five-six, who doesn't like being touched, has a mouth on her that is sarcastic and sharp. That likes to have her hair played with, claims that she can't dance, lies about her name, and pretends that she doesn't like me." He smirked at her. "And she thinks that fucking pandas are okay to wear on her ears when she's too old to be wearing cutesy things."

Scarlet stared up at him, her mouth hanging open slightly in surprise.

"Does that sound familiar, Scarlet?"

"I don't lie about my name," Scarlet said quietly.

"We'll see."

"David, it can't work out between us. I'm leaving tomorrow and I'll never see you again." Scarlet closed her eyes as they kept dancing, even though the song changed to a different one. "I'm flattered that you might – might – be interested in me, but it's hopeless."

David's hands tightened on her hips again. "Never say never, Scarlet. We could see each other again."

"Yeah, in the dark maybe." She opened her eyes again. "I've figured out what you Boys are, David."

"That doesn't surprise me." His ice blue eyes held hers. "And you're not scared?"

"No. I'm not."

"Good. I'm not planning on hurting you or Felicia. None of us are."

Scarlet nodded and rested her cheek against his chest, closing her eyes. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. David's body continued to move with hers and Scarlet sighed.

"I want to see you again," she whispered before she could stop herself. "But I know that we can't, even if you are of the supernatural variety. There's a lot of land separating us and I'm not flying back here after I leave."

"We'll see each other again," David said firmly. "You two are Lost Girls now. And you're not backing out of this, Scarlet. Dwayne won't be happy if Felicia disappears from his life. Hell, Paul and Marko won't stop pouting if I let you two disappear forever."

"And you won't be happy either," Scarlet guessed.

"Not if you're gone."

"We just met," Scarlet whispered. "You can't get attached that fast, David." But somehow, I did.

"You'd be surprised."

The crowd cheered as the band stopped playing and David's body stilled against hers. Scarlet opened her eyes and lifted her head away from his chest. She looked up at him and then away from him when she saw the look in his eyes. Felicia smiled over at her from where she stood in the circle of Dwayne's arms and gave her two thumbs up. Scarlet smiled back at her best friend and shook her head when she saw Paul and Marko jumping around, looking more pumped up than ever.

This is just a really weird night…

OOOOOOOOO

"So, we won't see you again," Paul whined as Scarlet and Felicia walked with the Boys towards their hotel room. "That's no fair!"

"We already told you that I have to go back to Europe and Scarlet has to go back to her home," Felicia said, her arm hooked around one of Dwayne's. "We wish that we could stay a few more nights, but we can't." She smiled up at Dwayne. "But we had fun. We really did."

Dwayne smiled down at her and brushed back a strand of her dark blond hair. "We had fun too, Felicia."

Scarlet heard her best friend sigh dreamily and glanced up at David, who had his arm wrapped around her waist. They had ridden back on the Boys' motorcycles and David had made sure that she had been on his. He wasn't keen on letting her go, but Scarlet knew that she had to go. She had to go home tomorrow and then she'd never see him or the others again. Hell, she'd probably only see Felicia a few more times if she was lucky. Especially since there was an ocean separating them and plane tickets were expensive.

"Scarlet," David said softly, reaching up and touching her face.

"Don't say anything," Scarlet told him, reaching into her pocket and fishing out her hotel key. "Please, David. If you say goodbye, I'm going to cry and my crying face is the ugliest thing you'll ever see in your life."

David nodded and watched her unlock the door to the girls' hotel room. Scarlet and Felicia turned to look at their new friends as they stood in front of the open door, smiling up at the Boys.

"This is where we part ways," Scarlet announced, feeling sad about it, despite the smile on her face. "I wish that we could have spent more time with you. If we had met you sooner on our stay here, I'm sure we would have had more fun."

"You could always come back," Dwayne told her, eyeing Felicia. "We're not likely to be going anywhere anytime soon."

"Maybe," Felicia said, glancing over at Scarlet, who shrugged. "We'll have to see what we can do about funds. But we really did have fun with you. And we're Lost Girls now, right?"

"Yep!" Marko said proudly. "For life." He reached out and pulled the two girls towards him, crushing them to his chest. His lips pressed against their cheeks in turn. "Love you, girls. I'll see you real soon."

Felicia giggled and pressed a kiss to his cheek while Scarlet merely patted him on the arm. "Love you too, Marko."

Scarlet sighed and looked up as Paul took up Marko's place. Paul scooped up Felicia first and spun her around, peppering her face with light kisses that got the blond giggling louder. He whispered something to her and Felicia threw her arms around him, whispering something back to him. Paul patted her on the back and then set her down. His laughing eyes turned onto Scarlet next and he approached her, hands spread.

"Careful Paul," Scarlet warned, eyeing him suspiciously. "I'm watching you."

Paul let out a loud laugh and wrapped his arms around her, squeezing her around the middle as he lifted her off the ground a little. "I like you, Scarlet," he told her. "You're soft and squishy like Felicia and you let me dance with you! And you let us take you to your first concert!"

"Yeah, yeah," Scarlet patted him on the shoulder. "Put me down now."

Paul pressed a loud kiss to her forehead. "Love you, girly!"

Scarlet made a face but didn't kiss him back. "Love you too, Paul. Now, put me down. Please."

The wild blond gave her another squeeze before putting her down. Scarlet blew her hair out of her face and watched Felicia and Dwayne exchange tight hugs and goodnights. Dwayne looked over at her and smiled, opening his arms to her. She hadn't really talked to him that night and she kind of felt bad for that. But she knew that Felicia had developed a thing for the dark-haired Lost Boy and she hadn't wanted to ruin anything that could have happened between them.

"Goodnight Dwayne," Scarlet said, giving the Lost Boy a brief hug. "Thanks for taking care of my dearest, and making sure that she was smiling all night."

Dwayne laughed and hugged her against his chest. "It was my pleasure, Scarlet."

I'm sure it was, Scarlet thought, but she held her tongue.

"Goodnight, David," Felicia said before ducking into the hotel room and Scarlet was surprised that her best friend hadn't attempted to hug the platinum blond leader of the Lost Boys.

"Goodnight," David called after her.

What is she doing? Scarlet wondered, glancing after her friend. She wouldn't have passed up the chance to hug all of the hot guys before…Felicia, what is wrong with you? Why didn't you hug David?

"Scarlet," David said, getting her attention.

Scarlet turned her green gaze onto David, the one guy that had captivated her on this little vacation and in her lifetime like no other guy ever had. She felt her heart do a little dance and she shifted her body slightly under his watchful gaze.

"I have to go now," she told him softly. "Do you want a hug goodnight?"

He nodded and opened his arms to her. Scarlet jumped into them and wrapped her arms around him, feeling his arms wrap around her possessively. His fingers slid into her hair and smoothed through the brown locks. Scarlet sighed.

"Goodnight David," she whispered. "Thank you for being so much of a pain in the ass tonight and giving me a good time on the boardwalk. I'm not going to forget this night…or you…for the rest of my life."

"Me neither," David promised against her hair. "And this isn't the end."

I hope not…Scarlet closed her eyes for a moment. "David…I…Goodnight."

David pulled back a little and brushed his lips against hers for the second time that night. Paul and Marko burst out laughing and elbowed each other playfully. Scarlet looked up at David when he parted from her and he smirked down at her, his eyes glinting.

"Goodnight, Scarlet," he said, letting her go.

Scarlet nodded and walked into her room, closing the door behind her. Felicia was standing next to her bed, pulling some clothes out of her suitcase for the night. A small smile was on her face as she looked at her best friend.

"That was the best night ever, my dearest!" Felicia declared, watching Scarlet head over to her own bed and scoop up some nightclothes. "I have never had so much fun in my life and I think I'm in love now!"

"With who?" Scarlet asked, looking over at her. "Marko, Paul, Dwayne, or David? They're all pretty hot."

"Sexy," Felicia corrected. She paused as she thought for a moment. "And all of them, actually. Especially Dwayne. He's dreamy."

"I really couldn't tell with the way that you were trying to undress him at the boardwalk." She laughed as Felicia threw a pillow at her. "I'm joking, my dearest! I'm joking!"

Felicia shook her head at her friend and smiled. "I'm not that bad."

"I know," Scarlet said, tossing the pillow back onto Felicia's bed. "Why didn't you hug David goodnight before they left?"

"Because he wasn't interested in me, my dearest. He's yours."

Scarlet's heart panged. "No, he's not. We'll never see each other again."

"You can't say that. Maybe we'll be able to scrounge some more money together and come back here."

"Maybe." Scarlet wasn't going to get her hopes up. She gathered her clothes up into her hand. "I want to change and get to bed. We have to get up early to meet the planes and get home. Your mum is probably worried about getting you back overseas."

OOOOOOOOO

Scarlet walked out of the bathroom early the next morning, running a brush through her hair when she noticed Felicia looking at something on her bed. "What is it, Felicia, dearest?" she asked, lowering her brush.

"Um, I don't know how to tell you this, Scarlet," Felicia said, turning to face her with a piece of paper in her hand. "But I think that those Boys from last night know your real name."

Scarlet dropped her brush out of her hand and scooped the piece of paper from her best friend's hand. She looked down at the small message scrawled on the paper and saw her real name on it.

"Oh God dammit, David!" she snapped, eyes going wide.

OOOOOOOOO

A/N: This is slightly more disorganized than I intended and I admit that it has gone through several name changes. I haven't been pleased with this story, but I'm not going back and changing it. I've gotten stuck on it too many times because I'm afraid of assassinating my best friend's character. I love you, Felicia, as my best friend and I hope that you enjoyed this! I hope that you all enjoyed this enough to review it and don't mind the slight David/OC pairing. I have an obsession with him lately and it doesn't help that my dearest mentioned that there's a Lost Boy convention coming up that has Kiefer at it and I can't go! Oh well, that's fine. Please review. And I'll see you around! Thanks! Much love! -Scarlet
