Title - The Final Year, The Final Show

By - PheonixFireBlack

Summary - Can't you tell from the title? The gangs final year of high school and the last broadcast of RFR. Second installment of the series I've decided to make. (Don't worry guys! this isn't like the one-shot "seiries" this really will be. It follows the gang's life for quite the while...) Read, enjoy, and maybe you could even leave a review.

A/N - Well, guys, hope you enjoyed It Could Happen. If you read the end author's note on chapter 15, you know this is the continuous of ICH. Well...I don't have much to say right now but I will say this: 1.) This should be interesting. 2.) If you have any ideas on something I could do for the last show, review me. 3.) I'm going to put a disclaimer up in the FIRST chapter (lol)

Disclamer - I don't own RFR. Really, if I did, do you think that I would really be writing fan fiction? Come on!

A/N - Ok, I have no clue how breaks and whatnot work in Canada so...I'm basically going by my schedule here in the states. Lol.

Well...the only other thing I've got to say is: Read, enjoy, and (hopefully) review.

Ch 1 - We Need To Talk (cont..) and Lily's Birthday - 5/18/07 - 4:17pm - Friday

Travis was honestly shocked with Riley. He knew this would come up sooner or later but he figured it would have been later rather than sooner. He wished it would have played out that way but, what could he do? He couldn't go back in time and change things...or get inside her head and change things. Actually, now that he thought about it, getting inside his girlfriend's head would be interesting. He shook his head at himself. He couldn't believe what he was thinking at the moment. He needed to make sure she was referring to what he was thinking. "Riley...are you saying..."

"What?"

Travis seemed to have lost the ability to speak and simply made a motion with his hands. He wasn't sure if Riley would understand but to his relief, she understood perfectly well. She nodded slowly, "Yeah..." If Riley wasn't seeing things, Travis had paled a little.

Travis had the odd feeling that he had paled and blushed at the same time, to be quite honest, it probably looked a bit odd. He was too shocked to say anything...at all. He tried but no sound came. His mouth opened and closed like a fish, but no sound was ever emitted. He closed his mouth in final and swallowed. He licked his lips and very, very slowly made his way to sit on the opposite side of the bench swing. He leaned back and closed his eyes.

Riley licked her lips and never even realized that she was bouncing on the ball of her right foot. She was starting to wonder what was going through his mind. Was she trying to move too fast? Was he overwhelmed by her bringing this up? She threw her head back, it went through the opening between to two chains, and closed her eyes. "Travis..."

"ah..Y-yeah?" Travis swallowed again.

"Just...makin sure you were still alive..." She tried to make the situation a little lighter, it didn't work. She smiled a little, even though it was a slightly guilty one. "A-anyway...um...are you...did I....are...are we still..." She licked her lips. This was all going downhill and just plain wrong.

Travis wasn't sure what to say, or more importantly, what she was going on about. He thought he understood but he wasn't completely sure about it. He glanced at her and swallowed. "...What?"

"Well....I mean...are you gonna run away screaming or something?"

"What? No...."

"Well...could you say something?"

"Something."

Riley rolled her eyes but to be honest, she was glad he was still Travis and there was still a little humor, even if it was seriously sad. "I mean about the situation at hand."

"I don't know, Riley. I mean, are you sure?" He asked, leaning forward on his knees

She looked down for a moment, then back at him. She licked her lips again. She should probably stop doing that. "I..I don't know...I think I am...but, if you don't want to, we don't have to, ya know?"

Travis took in a breath and leaned back against the swing again. He wasn't really sure about it himself. The thought never really crossed his mind too much. Now that he thought about it, he was kind of starting to wonder how long the thought had been lingering in Riley's mind. "I...I don't know. I don't think so, Riley..uh.."

Riley didn't mean to have it happen but a giggle escaped her mouth. She cover her mouth and after a few moments she lowered her hand and pressed her lips together. She didn't know why but for some reason she was dying to have a giggle fit. This was really unnatural for her, she never giggled unless she was on a sugar high. She wasn't sure if she could hold it, it was threatening to explode any second now. Why the hell am I about to explode into a fit of giggles? I never giggle...and on top of that, this isn't funny at all...What's wrong with me? She just didn't understand, nothing that had happened in the past ten minutes was funny in the least. Just when she thought it was under control, she almost let another giggle out. She pressed her lips harder together and closed her eyes.

"Uh...Riley, are you ok?"

She nodded, lips still pressed and eyes still closed.

"Are you sure?" Travis asked, frowning at his girlfriend. This was strange, even for her.

"Mmmhmm..." She nodded again

"So...what are you doing?"

"Nhing..."

"What?"

"Nhing!"

"Riley...open your mouth and speak."

"Nmmhmm." She shook her head 'no'.

"Why?"

She made a motion for a pen, moving her arm in the air as if she were holding a pen and writing something.

"Can't you just talk?"

She shook her head furiously, her hair slapping her cheeks. "Ow!" BIG mistake. All of the giggling she'd been holding in was released. It was almost like everything that had ever been funny had all hit her at once.

"Riley? What's going on?"

"I...I don't know...I just...." She continued giggling, and held a finger up as if to say "hold on". After a few minutes of giggling, her stomach and throat starting to hurt, Riley finally settled down. She took in a deep breath, eyes closed, then as she exhaled she opened them. "Ok..."

"Ok...now...what was with all of that about?"

"Honestly, I don't know. Nothing in the last fourteen minutes has been funny at all in the least but all of the sudden i just...I don't know...I...I let one little innocent giggle out and from that point on I was trying to keep everything else back. I guess after building up so much and opening my mouth, me being a moron and all, it just...exploded."

"I'll just nod and act like that made sense and I understand."

"Travis Anthony Strong doesn't understand something?" She gasped and put a hand to his forehead. "Are you sick?"

He turned slightly, facing her now. "Riley, trust me." He clapped his hands on her cheeks. "I'm not sick."

Riley jerked away. "Holy hell, Travis! You're hands are cold!...Why are your hands cold in the middle of May?"

He simply shrugged in response.

"Oh well. At least today was the last day of school. No more Waller for two months!"

"Yeah...that's a plus."

"Yeah! No school or Waller until the sixth of August! Woohoo!"

"Ray? How long have you been there?" Riley asked her cousin.

"Something about holy hell and cold hands. I don't know. Summer rocks!"

Riley smacked her hand to her forehead. "Oi!"

Travis simply shook his head and smiled. That was Ray for you.

Ray walked over and sat between the two and looked at both of them. "Whatcha doin?"

"Talking about how we have no school or Waller for a full two months. We're finally free of him!" Riley said with glee, leaning back into the swing, looking like she was about to fall over backwards.

"That's where you're wrong." Ray pointed an accusing finger at her.

The eccentric girl sat up, her blue eyes holding a questioning look. "What?"

"We're not free of him until graduation."

"Hell's bells, Ray! You know what I mean!"

"Are you sure?"

"About what? You knowing what I mean, yeah."

"No. Are you sure that hell has bells? Maybe it has drums."

"And maybe you could find out and tells us."

"No...wait..why?"

"Because, hell is exactly where Lily is going to send you if you don't get her something for her birthday."

"What? Her birthday isn't till the nineteenth."

Riley gave him a 'uh-huuhh, aaannddd' look. "Yeah...and today is...what?"

Ray was going to look at his watch but remembered that he had lost it so he grabbed Riley's right wrist and looked at the date on it. "Aww hell! This is bad....really bad..."

"Wait...you really don't have anything for her?" Riley asked. "I was joking..."

Ray's eyes were wide as dinner plates. "I'm not..."

~*~*~*~

A/N - *laughs* That was fun! Poor Ray! Will Lils send him into oblivion or will Ray get something for her in time? I'm not sure...I'm still trying to decide.... Also, in your review, if you have any ideas on what Ray might get Lily, can you suggest it? Thanks! Much glomping and giving out posters of the gang will be done for the suggestions/reviews ^_^
