AN: Alyssa Kennedy is an OC created entirely by me. If you want an idea of what she'd look like if she was actually part of the movie, just Google Hayden Panettiere. Please review (no negatives, please).

"Ri, what's wrong?" Alyssa asked, sitting down on the couch next to her boyfriend.

Riley sighed. "Bad day. Ben and Abigail never listen to me. It happens so often that I guess I should be used to it by now, but it still sucks."

"It'll be fine." Lyss put an arm around Riley. "They usually come to their senses eventually, don't they?"

"I guess so," Riley said gloomily.

Lyss thought for a moment. "Wanna watch TV?"

"I already tried," Riley answered. "There's nothing on except some stupid PBS special about the history of the stock market. Or something equally as dull."

"Then, you want to put in a movie?"

"There's nothing I particularly wanna see right now."

"I could make you something to eat."

"I'm not hungry."

"We could go outside."

"It's raining like crazy." Riley put his chin in his hands.

Lyss sighed. She hated to see Riley like this, but she was running out of ideas for stuff to do. It wasn't until Riley lay back on the couch and put his hands behind his head that she thought of something. Something so painfully obvious that Lyss was almost pissed that she hadn't come up with it way earlier.

"Riley James Poole," she announced. "If you don't smile within ten seconds, I'm going to have to take matters into my own hands." She paused, then added under her breath, "Literally…"

Riley gave her a look. "Yeah, right. Just try me."

"All right, you asked for it," Lyss said, reaching over and tickling him. "If this doesn't put one of those big silly Riley grins on that adorable face, nothing will!" She kissed his cheek twice and continued to tickle.

Sure enough, Riley's glum expression disappeared and he began to giggle. "Lyssie, cut it out," he said. "I was actually enjoying my bad mood."

Lyss lit up. "Success!" she cried. "I knew this would make you laugh! Also, I know you can never resist my cuteness."

Riley was now shaking with laughter. Tears were streaming down his face and he sported the world's biggest smile. "Lyssie!" he guffawed. "Okay, Lyssie, okay! Stop! I love you!"

"Aw, Ri, way to be a buzz kill," Lyss laughed, withdrawing her hands. Instantly, Riley grabbed her and gave her a big hug and kiss. "Are you satisfied, miss?" he mock-scolded. "You had to make me suffer in order to make me smile."

"Well, it worked, didn't it?" asked Lyss playfully.

Riley narrowed his eyes teasingly. "It only 'worked' because you're just so incredibly cute, Alyssa Eunice."

"I'm more than cute," Lyss shot back. "I'm drop-dead sexy."

"I definitely think so," Riley said. "Now, it's payback time." He pushed Lyss down onto the couch cushions and tickled her stomach until she screamed.

AN: I have nothing against PBS or the stock market, I just thought it was funny/a reason why Riley wouldn't want to watch TV. Please review :)
