A Radio Free Roscoe fanfic – takes place after this Friday's episode, Clark Kent. What if Lily catches Ray returning Jumpy Junior? What if they decide to have a date? Will things get too weird on RFR? And Judy's crushed because Question Mark didn't meet her. Will Robbie still want to talk to her? And Travis – the strong silent one…what if he gets jealous?
Untitled at the moment. Open to suggestions, so please review!
Ray's Point of view
I can't believe it. Here I am, carrying that frog box, and here Lily is, sitting next to the pond. It's too late to leave. Oh no, she's seen me. Now what? Make a joke? No. I slap myself mentally. That's what got me in the doghouse in the first place.
"Oh. It's you." She says. I try not to look hurt.
"Lily? I, uh, I'm sorry about the whole frog thing. It wasn't supposed to be a j-" I stop talking when I notice that Lily's not looking at me. Her eyes are bloodshot. Had she been crying? Lily…cry? That's like a crazy backwards universe; where dogs meow and boy-bands play their own music.
"What?" There's a sharp note to her voice.
"A joke. It wasn't supposed to be a joke." I quickly finish. "I mean, I caught that frog for you…because…well…look, when you shook up the box Jumpy Junior here-"
"Jumpy Junior?" She asked. She was looking at me now, that's a good sign. I sat down on the ground.
"See for yourself." I put the box in her lap. "Don't – don't shake him this time, alright?" She looked at me and smirked. Carefully she opened the box and squealed. I finally breathe out. Jumpy Junior is still living. That good old frog.
"Ray…" She says, looking up at me and holding the frog. Finally, I did something right. "I'm sorry about walking out on you,"
"Yeah, it's okay." I'm still staring at her, but this time she doesn't look away. Do it, I tell myself. Ask her now! Taking a deep breath, "remember when Fido or whoever called yesterday?"
"Mmmhmm." She was petting Jumpy Junior and then looked up at me.
"Well, does this count? You know, Does this count about showing you that I'm, you know, more mature?" Why was I stumbling over my words? Lily's still staring at me. Oh no, I really screwed up. I should have just kept my mouth shut.
"what?" She said, really quietly. "You mean, you like me?" Oh God, this is really embarrassing.
"Yeah." She's still looking at me. I'm still looking at her.
"Friday." She says, regaining her normal voice. "Seven. My place?" She's standing now. I stand, too.
"A date?" I ask. She nods. "Okay." She grabs my shoulders and places a quick kiss on my cheek. She begins to walk away. I want to scream, I'm so happy. She turns around, about ten feet away.
"Oh, and thanks for JJ." It takes me a minute to realize that she's talking about Jumpy Junior, who is still in her hands.
"No problem." I say, trying to sound cool again. Once her back is turning I do a victory dance. Wait until Travis and Robbie hear about this!
A/N: As I said before, I need some title suggestions, so add some while you review. If I see some interest, I'll continue. It's sorta tough doing two fics at once, but I need to finish these before school starts. Hopefully. Well, review, review, review! Oh, and btw, I have 2 other Degrassi fics if you're interested. One Sean/Emma, Craig/Manny & the other Ashley/Jimmy. Sooo…check 'em out!
