Story Title: There's Something Special Written in the Stars Tonight

Summary: An overnight field trip with the school… to the Pickford planetarium. With Hackett overseeing the trip as chaperone though, Phil can only hope to get through the night without getting the third degree. But with Keely there as well, can he resist using future technology to impress her? Of course… he also has to keep an eye on Pim… It's going to be an interesting night for the gang in Pickford.

Disclaimer: I don't own Phil of the Future. Boo. :(

Rating: T – Because I said so.

Chapter 1: Onward!

I've decided to write some lighter faire, for a change. Hope you enjoy it! Review please!

Knock knock. "Coming!" a boy's voice called. A clatter of footsteps was heard before the door was swung open. Immediately, he smiled. "Hey, Keels," he said, his smile bright.

"Phil!" she squealed, the pack strapped to her back swung jovially as she grinned and bounced. "You ready?"

Phil shruged, acting nonchalant. "As ready as ever."

"I can't believe we're staying overnight at the Pickford Planetarium tonight. I haven't been there in a long time. It's going to be so much fun!" Keely clapped her hands together enthusiastically.

Phil let loose a small chuckle. "I can't believe that Mr. Hackett is our chaperone."

Keely gave a thoughtful look and then shruged. "Well, we'll just make sure he doesn't get in the way of our fun."

Phil nods.

"Do you have everything?"

"Yep," Phil replies, holding up a large duffel bag. "Everything's here. Sleeping bag, toothbrush, clothes, the Wizard, the camera, among other things."

Keely nodded. "Great! And I brought my lucky microphone in case we need to do some hard-hitting reporting!" Reaching into her bag, she swiftly pulled it to her face. "Excuse me! Excuse me!" she called, pretending to be on an interviewing crusade, "What, exactly makes you an expert? What do you do, precisely? Can you truly name and find all the constellations? What about the galaxies?"

Phil, acting in the moment, trained an imaginary camera on her. "Fantastic!" he exclaimed. "They won't know what hit them!"

Keely beamed. "Yeah, I'm really hoping we'll be able to get a segment in the for the H.G. Wells Daily Digest." She dropped her microphone back into her pack, zipping it up. "So are we ready to go?"

"I think so," Phil said, walking out the door while dragging it shut behind him. "Bye mom! Bye dad!" he called over his shoulder before the door shut. He put his free arm around Keely's shoulder. "Onward!"

Keely laughed, enjoying the feeling of his arm wrapped around her. She bit her lip, nervously then, ducking her head down so he wouldn't see the blush that was creeping up her face and coloring her cheeks.

As they started to walk forward, the door swung open again. "Oiy! Phil!" a girl's voice barked. "And Sunshine," she added after a moment. "Wait! I don't know where to go."

Phil and Keely swiveled backward. "Pim?" Phil said incredulously. "I thought you said you weren't going."

"I wasn't," she grunted, "but mom said I had to. And the planetarium was never one of my must see places in Pickford anyway, so I've never been. I mean, I've been in space before, people, I think I know what the stars look like! But no! It just has to be a 'good experience,' according to mom." She grunted again. "So I'm going. And it looks like I'm going to have to follow you two there." She put her hand to her stomach. "I think I'm gonna get sick before I get there."

Keely looked at her inquisitively.

"Just please don't do anything lovey dovey before I can get away and I'll be fine." Pim pushed between them, breaking them apart and throwing both off balance.

Phil narrowed his eyes at her as he straightened again and Keely's eyes widened in surprise and disappointment.

"Let's go!" Pim snapped, "Lead the way, Phil… Blondie."

Phil and Keely walked forward together, the space between them closing in once again. Pim rolled her eyes as she followed behind.

"I think someone's a little grumpy today, Phil," Keely whispered into his ear.

Phil felt a shiver go down his spine as her warm breath hit his ear. "You think?" he whispered back, in his sarcastic, yet endearing way. "But don't worry, I'll make sure she doesn't ruin anything."

Keely nodded, smiling to herself. She reached down, feeling for his warm hand. Lacing her fingers through his, she squeezed gently. She bit her lip shyly in happiness when he squeezed back.

Yes, this was going to be a fun field trip: especially with Phil at her side.

A short chapter, but hopefully you'll still like it. Oh! Did I mention before? I actually have a teacher this year named Mr. Hackett! Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, hope you like the story so far. Please review!
