They strolled back to the house at around 6:00, everyone was soaking wet and smelled of sea water but that did not disturb them. They had so much fun to even think about the itchy sand that clung to their swimming attire.
Lilly tightly wrapped the robe around her and rushed to her room, careful not to fall on her wet and slippery slippers. She opened the door and rushed to the bathroom. Stripping herself from all the sand and cleansing herself with the wonderful warm bubble bath.
After her quick bath she put on her clothes and brushed her teeth for she was too tired to already eat dinner. She lay down on the bed and quickly dozed of. . .
A few hours after she fell into a deep slumber she had awoken to her worst fear . . . thunder. It was as loud and scary as the winds howled outside. She hated thunder, she was very grateful that the other night there was no thunder.
She pulled the comforter up to her chin and hunched her legs up, trying to drown the sound of thunder with her iPod. But it wouldn't work and her stomach was grumbling, but she would rather stay there then go through the long dark hallway and venture up again. It was a terrible feeling to be afraid with an upset stomach, but it was nothing Lilly Truscott couldn't take.
Suddenly she heard her door open and close, Lilly let out a whimper. She heard something scampering around . . . then it hopped onto her bed!
"Please don't hurt me!" she whimpered.
"Relax, it's only me. . ." Frankie said as if jumping on people's bed was the most natural thing in the world.
"Wha? Frankie? What are you doing here?" asked Lilly, thankful that it was not some kind of creature.
"I'm scared. . ." Frankie said, hugging his webkinz and his carebears tight to his chest.
"Awww," Lilly said, moving over to make space for Frankie. "You can stay here."
"Thank you," Frankie said, cuddling up to her. "I hate thunder!"
"You're not the only one," Lilly said, laughing. Frankie smiled. Suddenly the door opened once more and Lilly had to keep her hand over Frankie's mouth so he wouldn't scream.
"Frankie? You in here?" whispered a low voice. Frankie broke free from Lilly's grasp.
"Yeah, I'm in here!" he said.
"Who's that?" Lilly asked.
"It's me, Nick. Frankie, if mom and dad find out your not there—" Nick began but Frankie cut him off.
"I didn't want to disturb them!"
"So you chose to disturb Lilly?" Nick asked.
"No, no, it's okay! I really don't mind!" Lilly said. Nick stood over Frankie in his pajama's which consisted of nothing else but boxers and a long baggy shirt. Lilly was glad it was dark so no one would see her blush.
"I can't leave Lilly! She's going to get scared. . ." Frankie mumbled, trying to kick Nick away.
"Why?" Nick asked.
"Lilly don't like thunder," Frankie blurted out.
"Really?" Nick asked, actually he thought it was quite cute. Lilly hid beneath the covers, her hair was a mess and she didn't want to be seen in front of Nick.
"Don't be shy," Nick said, chuckling as Frankie scooted over to let him lie down. Nick squished in with Frankie in the middle, happy to be in between two people and feeling very secured.
"You know I was in the Sound Of Music once, I played Kurt. . ." Nick said, laughing. Lilly smiled.
"This reminds me of the scene when all the children were afraid of thunder—" Nick started.
"Oh yeah! And all the children came into her room!" Frankie said, cuddling up to Nick. Nick laughed and nodded. Lilly laughed.
"So now I'm Fraulein Maria?" Lilly asked, coming out from under the covers. Nick laughed and Frankie giggled.
"Yep," he said. "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things. . ." Nick began.
Frankie and Lilly laughed. Nick blushed.
"Sometimes wrong?" he asked.
"No, no, it sounds—"Lilly was about to say.
"Fantastilistic?" asked Frankie sarcastically. Lilly laughed.
"What's that?" asked Lilly.
"Nah, it's a word Joe made up. . ." Frankie said, Lilly giggled. Soon another crash of thunder came and Lilly and Frankie whimpered under the covers. Nick remained totally unaware of it.
"Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels, doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles, wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, these are a few of my favorite things. . ." Nick sang softly.
It felt relaxing hearing his voice to Lilly and to Frankie.
"That's very good," said Lilly, sighing. Frankie nodded, lolling his head and finally dozing off. Lilly and Nick smiled at Frankie's sleeping figure, and soon Lilly and Nick fell asleep and not even the loudest thunder could wake them up. . .
The Next Day. . .
Nick woke up to the soft snoring of Lilly and Frankie, Lilly looked absolutely peaceful as she slept and Frankie . . . somehow managed to go upside down. Nick got up, stretched and walked down to his room to dress up.
He washed up and went down for breakfast with their mom and dad waiting for them.
"Hey, honey, do you know where Frankie is?" asked their mom, kissing him good morning. Nick yawned, nodding.
"He's sleeping with Lilly," he said, Joe almost spit out his chocolate.
"Sleeping with Lilly now that sounds wrong!" he said, taking a bite out of his bagel.
"Sush up and eat your bagel!" said Kevin, he liked the mornings better when Joe didn't wake up early.
"And where were you?" asked their dad. Nick wished they didn't get to this.
"Well, I couldn't sleep so I went down to eat something –" Nick began.
"So that's why we're all out of nutella!" Mrs. Jonas said, shaking her head. Nick blushed but he continued.
"Well after I ate I went back up and heard noises from Lilly's room, I heard Frankie so I went inside and I slept with them. . ." Nick said, sipping from his water. Joe laughed.
"Hahaha, a threesome!" Joe said, Kevin nudged him in the ribs.
"Shush up and eat your bagel!" Kevin said, dinking from his mug of coffee. Nick chuckled at his brothers.
"Hey!" Frankie said, coming down from the stairs with an already dressed Lilly.
"Good morning. . ." Lilly said, smiling.
"Morning. . ." everyone said.
"So what are we going to do today?" asked Frankie. Joe shrugged.
"I want to take pictures," said Joe. Lilly grinned.
((A/N: I am giving full credit to Talita-Michelle, her idea is amazing! Thank you for the wonderful idea! YOU'RE THE BEST! : ))
"That's a great idea," Lilly said. Joe grinned like an idiot.
"I smart!" he said. Kevin laughed his adorable laugh, Nick chuckled. So that afternoon they took nonstop pictures.
They took pictures of the beach, pictures of the maids and of the staff, and pictures of they're mom and dad. And that's all they did all afternoon, the picture used all of its film capacity which means no more pictures. This happened when Lilly was walking along alongside the beach, enjoying the sunset.
"Aww, the film capacity!" said Lilly, shaking her camera. She signed as she stuffed it back to her bag; she wasn't going to let a little thing like that bother her.
"Hey," Nick said, walking along beside her.
"Hey," Lilly said, staring off into the sunset. Nick smiled.
"Beautiful isn't it . . .?" he asked. Lilly smiled and nodded. They stayed a little bit in silence, just enjoying the wonderful sunset and their silence was not at all awkward.
"Must've been like this in Malibu everyday, huh?" he asked. Lilly nodded.
"Pretty much, but it never gets old. I rarely see it now since those evil teachers dump homework on us and I've got other 'stuff' to do. . ." Lilly said. Nick nodded.
"I would love seeing sunsets like this everyday. You're so lucky to be living near a beach," he said. Lilly chuckled.
"Hahaha, but if there's a tsunami . . . oh no!" Lilly said. Nick smiled.
"Your even more lucky, you've got the glitz and the glam. . ." Lilly said, she picked up a rock and tried to skip it. Nick shrugged.
"I sure am fortunate to have it, but just because I've got the 'glitz and the glam' . . . it's not everything. It'll all be gone one day and in the end all I have is my family and my friends," Nick said, skipping a rock. Lilly laughed.
"Are we friends?" Lilly asked.
"Well, if you want to. . ."
"It would be an honor to be friends with the one and only Nicholas Jerry Jonas!" Lilly said, with a dramatic flaunt. Nick laughed. They enjoyed the sunset but only just as friends. Nick hugged Lilly.
"I'm going to miss you when you leave. . ." he whispered softly. Lilly smiled.
"Me too, I mean, who wouldn't miss you?" she said. They walked home together, arm and arm but it was only as friends . . . right?
