AN: Sorry for the confusion of last chapter. I had separating things to show the difference of settings in Microsoft word but when the document was uploaded it took them away and it might have been a little confusing to read. This chapter is all in one setting, so you should be able to understand it.

To recount, Parker loves Ray, Grace broke up with Ray, Kim and Robbie's relationship is in limbo because Robbie's afraid to commit, Lily's still single and Travis is getting over Bridget. Takes a breath Hope you enjoy this next chapter, it's a long one.

Disclaimer: I still don't own RFR. Don't worry, I'm working my way up the corporate ladder, shouldn't be too long now.

Robbie walked into Mickey's to talk to Ray. His problems were somewhat troubling, but he hadn't just got dumped… had he? His inquisitive mind revolved around the words "I don't have anymore time." He shrugged them off as he saw Ray with his head in his hands leaning forward.

"You know Ray, that is a couch you're sitting on. The back is comfortable, I promise."

"I don't get it Robbie, how did I get from first kiss last night to single city tonight?"

"Well, what did you say to her?"

"I have no idea, man. You know, breakups are like car crashes. One minute you're driving along, and everything's fine. Next minute your car has been flipped over in the ditch and you've been thrown clear. 'I'm not sure what happened officer, something hit me, and then bam, I've just regained consciousness and you're here asking me questions about it.'"

Robbie chuckled and asked Ray a question, "So, now that you're single again are you going to pursue a certain girl who's declared her love for you in front of roughly a hundred people?"

"I don't know, Robbie. Isn't she the reason that Grace broke up with me? Isn't she the reason that someone I really cared for doesn't want to see me again?"

"Yes, she is. And I'm not sure that she would have any qualms about it even if she knew what she'd accomplished."

"Damn it I love her." Ray said it as if it were one word, as if it had been choked out of him. He didn't want to admit it, but the girl who had ruined the best relationship he'd ever been in was the love of his life.

"Not much you can change about that, Ray. You can make yourself happier by asking her out."

"Think so?"

"Yeah."

"Alright. Thyself is off to win thee's fair maiden's hearteth. Wish moi good luck, lowly peasant."

"I wish you good luck in winning her heart and in never, ever trying to speak in Old English again."

"Fine. But you're the lowly peasant, so you don't get to correct me."

Ray got up from the couch and headed off to win his fair maiden's heart. Then he realized that the exit door was in the other direction and turned around. On his way out he almost knocked a familiar face over. Parker.

"Oh, sorry Parker. I'm in a bit of a hurry."

"Ray, it's 5:30, you're going home?"

"Actually, I'm going to go… make myself happier."

"OK see you later." Parker walked over to the couch and sat down next to Robbie.

"What was that about, make himself happier?"

"He's going to Lily's. He's going to ask her out."

"What? I thought he was with Grace!"

"Not anymore, they broke up."

"Really? I… I have to go somewhere"

Parker walked outside. She reached into her bag, hands shaking, and pulled out her cell phone. After taking a deep breath, she composed herself and dialed a number she had only recently memorized. The phone rang once. Twice. Someone picked up.

"Hello?" spoke a familiar voice.

"Hey, Lily? Do you want to come to Mickey's and hang out? I know you're kind of bummed after last night, but maybe you just need a little fun to clear it all up."

Lily sighed and responded, "Sure, are Ray and Grace there?"

"No, you're in luck, it's just me and Robbie."

"OK, good. I'll be right over."

Parker hung up and stood there, trying to figure out what course of action to take next. She decided to mull it over inside Mickey's. Turning around, she ran into someone who was standing right behind her.

"Robbie."

"Now why would you do something like that?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Parker, you just phoned Lily, and asked her to come to Mickey's, knowing full well that Ray is on his way to Lily's house to ask her out. Now, for some reason, you don't want Ray and Lily to meet up tonight. You don't want them together. Why?"

"Because I- I don't have explain anything to you."

Parker began to walk in the direction that Ray had left in. Robbie reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Parker… just talk to me. What's going on? Maybe there's a perfectly innocent explanation that you're not telling me."

"Let go of my arm Robbie."

Robbie let go and Parker walked away.

"Or… maybe there isn't."
