Felicity (14years old)
In these two years, she was no longer the nerdy 12 year old with no friends. She still had a hard time with her "schoolmates" and their constant teasing, in their eyes she was still gawky, Four eyed Smoak.Eventhough kids were tough in school, she didn't let that keep her from forging forwards. She kept her head up and shook away those never thoughts that plagued her mind at 2am in the morning. She has her boys to help her through and she was so thankful.
Tommy and Oliver; her family or her boys as she grew to love referring to them as were her two favourite people. It was never a dull moment with those two, even if they were the 'water to her smoke' as they teased, the three of them... it just simply worked. They made her laugh, and gave her a sense of belonging; something that Felicity constantly searched for.
One time, Tommy picked her up at Starling Public School after her Computer Club meeting in his brand new Corvette. His gift from Mr.Merlyn for his 16th birthday. It wasn' t surprising that every single girl (and some boys) were literally throwing themselves at one of Starling City's eligible bachelors. Felicity rolled her eyes at the spectacle and raced towards her friend.
"Tom Tom! What are you doing here? Where's my mum? Woah! Is that a Corvette? Gosh she's beautiful...or is it a he? Well it could be a he, I mean I wouldn't judge, it's your car." Felicity babbled as she gave him a big silly hug.
" Flea, slow down. I can't catch up sometimes..and stop calling me Tom Tom.It's ruining my street cred," Tommy whispered as he twirled her around smiling.
" Put me down Tom Tom! I'm getting dizzy.I'll make you a deal, if you stop calling me Flea, I promise not to call you Tom Tom in public," Felicity giggled and said.
"Deal. Now get in the car before I get distracted" Tommy said as he glanced over at a brunette cheerleader who smiled at him.
"Urgh, anyone but her Tommy. I definitely don't approve. She's mean and a ... , anyways, let's go to Mike's," Felicity tugged Tommy's jacket as she got into the car.
"Not to sound unappreciative of the awesome ride, but what brings you to this side of town Tom Tom? Where's Queen by the way? Aren't you two joined at the hip or something? " Felicity asked as she bit into her stack of pancakes.
"Well, can I visit my favourite girl once in a while?" Tommy spoke with a mouthful of crinkle fries.
"Seriously Tommy? You got that look on your face. Something's up.What's wrong? " Felicity reached for his hand.
"It's my dad again Flea. We had another fight. Whatever I do, it's never enough. I swear, it's almost if he wished Oliver was his son at times." Tommy smiled but Felicity saw only sadness in his eyes.
"Don't be ridiculous Tommy! Mr.Merlyn loves you! You're his only son! He bought you that fancy Corvette you've been wanting didn't he? See he listens! " Felicity said as she reached for his hand.
"Hahahha.No he didn't..Mrs.McCormack his assistant did. He gave her his check book signed telling her to pick something out. He never really cared." Tommy turned his attention towards his milkshake.
" Uhhh...well Tommy, I don't know about anyone else but I do know there are two people in this world who love you more than anything else, who'd do anything for you. Oliver and I will always love you...you idiot.You're the brother I never wanted! I love you." Felicity flung herself at Tommy.
" When did you get so mature Flea? I love you too kid. More than I 'd admit. I probably would never admit to this but you're an amazing sister." Tommy said.
"By the way..where's Queen? " Felicity chirped.
"Flea, you don't want to know, well not at least for a couple of years" Tommy said with a wink.
Felicity (15years old)
Felicity spent every summer since she received the scholarship at the Annual Queen Summer camp organised by the Queen Foundation.Moira Queen personally oversaw camp activities and made sure her protégées were well taken care off.
This year, Oliver being the heir of Queen Consolidated had to tag along with his mother. He wasn't thrilled to spend his whole summer away in a rusty cabin in Lake Hopeknot.He would have preferred following his friends to the Cayman Islands to spend the rest of his senior year.
"Mother, I rather not tag along for Camp BoreMetoDeathWithGeekTalk this year.I want to go to the Cayman Islands with my friends," Oliver said slightly pouting.
"Oliver Jonas Queen! That was very rude, a Queen never speak that way of people. Behave yourself" Moira said.
"Mum! I'm 17! What would I actually have in common with all these nerds at camp? I don't know anyone there?" Oliver croaked as he crossed his arms.
"Honey, invite Tommy along, I don't think Malcom would miss him around the manor. Besides, your friend Felicity will be there. Aren't the three of you good friends?" Moira chastised her teenager.
" Wait hold up, Felicity will be there??!! Why didn't you just say that? Why didn't she say anything about going? We' ll pick Tommy on the way! Give me 5 minutes!" Oliver said as he ran up to his room.
Felicity loved Camp Hopeknot.It felt like home, a place where she didn't struggle to fit in.A place where she had friends with similar interests and some might even say she was popular. Over the years, she had become good friends with several people especially Cisco and Caitlin. She couldn't help but squel in excitement to meet them as she kissed Donna goodbye and made it into the bus heading to camp.
Camp Hopeknot was unlike any other summercamp.Here, not only were their physical capabilities tested, their intellect and mind had the chance to grow and they were able interact with the city's brightest young minds and compete. In the words of Tommy Merlyn...this was the Superbowl of Geeks. Felicity searched for Caitlin and Cisco at their usual spot by the lake. She dropped her bag as she rushed to the lake where she saw two familiar faces chatting away.
After reconnecting with her two friends, they all headed to the rendezvous ground awaiting Mrs. Queen's arrival. Every year she would never fail to be there for a week to make sure camp was running smoothly. As they waited, Felicity caught Caitlin up on her life in school and about her adventures with Tommy and Oliver. Caitlin, always loved listening to stories on how the three of them would get into trouble and the pranks they would do when they were together. Caitlin always wanted to meet Felicity's " boys" as she called them, as they were the reason Felicity ever smiled.
Boy, was Felicity surprised to see Oliver and Tommy exiting the town car followed by Mrs.Queen.It was safe to say that Felicity had not listened to a word Mrs Queen said after she found out that Tommy and Oliver were staying at camp for a week. She was reeling in her spot , moving up and down on her heels , anxious to meet her two best friends. She was surprised they hadn't mentioned coming to the camp the last time that they met. Frankly, she was surprised that they came as it wasn't typically their scene.
Oliver slowly creeped behind her and yelled "Smoak!".
"For the love of The Doctor!Queen stop doing that. I'm going have to tie a bell on you! " she shouted as she hit Oliver softly on his arm.
"How come you didn't tell me you were coming for camp? " both of them said in unison.
"JINX! You owe me a soda Queen! "Felicity said in a sing song .
"Neverrr!"Oliver laughed as he pulled Felicity's ponytail. "Ouch! I hate you sometimes!" She retaliated by swatting his arms harder this time.
Oliver laughed feeling none of the damage being inflicted by her. Shaking his head, he was thinking on what he could never say no to Felicity. This dark haired kid had a hold on him since the first day they met all those years ago.
To the outside world, the pair had an unlikely friendship. The billionaire bad boy and middle class overachiever had absolutely nothing in common the world thought. However, if you looked pass the layers of money, fast cars and status, you would find that these two shared an almost symbiotic connection. Oliver was the light that guided Felicity. His youthful playfulness lit Felicity's heart and guided her from the dark thoughts in her head. She in turn, grounded him, giving him a dose of needed reality; something the Queen heir never receives.
AN: Do you think I should continue writing more about the camp?
