Hey guys! Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! I won't waste your time with reasons why it's been so long since I have updated, I will just let you read it, if anyone out there still is! Enjoy!
"Well I must say, you all look happy and relaxed in your swim wear" Dave smiled as he gave Lucas a once over.
Lucas gave a strained smile back as he shifted slowly towards his wife, who was watching the scene with a wide smile on her face, much like the rest of the group.
"So, who's up for some water aerobics?" Dave asked as he clapped his hands together.
"Well, it's funny, the guys were just saying to me how much they all wanted to try it out first" said Sam, in mock surprise with a hand pressed against her heart.
Lucas, Nathan, Skills and Mouth all turned to glare at the teenager.
"Oh, wonderful! You boys wait right here while I get my fellow instructor and introduce you" he said gleefully.
"What the hell Sam?!" The guys yelled, surrounding her.
Looking far from intimidated, she simply gave them a sweet smile "I told you revenge is sweet. You think that you tough guys are the masters of payback? Please!" she scoffed as she pushed past them.
"She is so my kid" Brooke smiled proudly.
The guys rolled their eyes as they each tried to come up with an escape plan. This idea was short-lived when they saw Dave making his way over to them, with another instructor in tow.
"Well everyone, this is my good friend Justin. Justin, this is everyone. And I think you already know who that is" he smiled as he pointed to Lucas.
Lucas thought that nothing on earth could have topped a water aerobics class with his admirer. Boy was he wrong.
"Oh my god, oh my god!" Justin said as he practically ran to Lucas. "I cannot believe this! I'm a huge fan!" He added with a wave of his hand.
A feeling of déjà vu washed over him as Justin gawked. He looked across and caught his brother's eye who mouthed the word "fruity" at him before imitating a hand wave. Lucas scowled.
Now it looked like he was going to be followed around by not one, but two fruity camp guides for the rest of his holiday.
He looked up to the heavens and sighed.
"I bet your getting a real good laugh out of this" he muttered.
"So tell me" Justin said, crossing his one arm and placing the other on his chin "when do you think you will be releasing your next book? I have your other 3 and practically know them off by heart" he let out a girlish giggle.
Lucas didn't think it was possible, but he found this guy even more annoying than Dave.
Justin's question brought Dave over to them and they were both eagerly awaiting Lucas' answer.
Lucas looked to the others for help, which he knew from the looks on his faces that he wasn't going to get. He sighed in resignation and turned back to his fans.
"Well I have started to write my next one but it is far from finished." He answered
As Dave and Justin became even more excited, Lucas decided that he shouldn't have supplied them with that answer.
"Hey, how bout we get goin' with this class?" Skills shouted, deciding to help his friend out and save him from the clutches of the camp guides.
Lucas shot him a grateful look in thanks. Seeing how shocked her husband was, Peyton made her way over to him.
"Well Mr Scott, it looks like I have some strong competition" she giggled as she placed her arms around his neck.
"Oh stop it" Lucas glared. "This is so not funny right now." He muttered.
"Honey, you have two gay admirers, who I must say, provide great entertainment. All I can see is the funny side" she laughed.
Lucas pouted. "You wouldn't be acting the same way if they were women" he said childishly.
Peyton laughed. "True, but you would. You hate any form of attention so it wouldn't matter. Now go and have fun in your water aerobics class." She placed a kiss on his check and Lucas sighed deeply before slowly making his way over towards Nathan.
"Let's get this over with" he muttered, resigned to the fact that there was no escape.
"I'm all for that man" Nathan replied as they were lead over to the pool with Skills and Mouth in their wake.
To make matters worse for them, Millie had found the video camera and was now filming them and giving a running commentary about the boys trying out their "feminine" sides.
"Right then, come to the front so I can see you" commanded Dave.
Lucas and Nathan had tried to make their way to the very back of the pool to try and keep hidden but much to their annoyance Dave had spotted them.
Lucas pushed Nathan ahead of him to act as some sort of barrier as they made their way to the front. Lucas didn't miss the fact that the rest of the people in the class were all women.
Once they had formed a line at the front, Dave and Justin turned on the music.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Lucas exclaimed as "Macho Man" blared out of the speakers.
Nathan let out a groan as they began to imitate the movements.
Lucas had planned not to do much, but he soon realised that the less effort he put into it, the more Dave or Justin would come over to help him.
It didn't help that all the girls were lined up on the side of the pool, dying of laughter.
"Humiliation, thy name is Scott" groaned Nathan as he spotted the camera whilst leaping about in the pool.
"At least you don't keep getting felt up every other minute" Lucas snapped back, clearly unimpressed.
Nathan couldn't help but laugh at that. "Dude, only you could go on vacation and find a fan club of gay admirers!"
Lucas splashed water at him in response, clearly not seeing the humour in the situation.
Just as the song came to a close and Lucas let out a breath of relief, he found himself being dragged to the front of the pool by Dave and Justin.
"Ok campers!" Dave cheered "now it's time for one of you guys to lead the group with your own routine" he said as he pushed Lucas to the front.
"Oh, no way! You have got to be kidding me!" Lucas cried.
At this point, Nathan was nearly drowning himself as he was laughing so hard, slapping the water with his hand as he did so.
"Go ahead Lucas!" Dave cheered as he moved Lucas' arms for him, standing up against his back.
Lucas jerked away hurriedly.
"Ok that's it! I've had enough!" he yelled as he climbed out of the pool towards the girls who were laughing uncontrollably.
Lucas huffed as he stormed past them towards the sun loungers, grabbing a towel a scrubbing it furiously over his shoulders.
Peyton shared a look with the others before making her way over to a pouting Lucas.
"Honey?" she asked as she got close to him.
Lucas just huffed in reply as he continued to dry himself.
Peyton rolled her eyes at his childish behaviour before crossing her arms.
"Oh don't be such a sourpuss" she said, fighting a giggle.
Once again Lucas chose to ignore her and began folding up the towel.
Peyton laughed silently into her hand before making her way over to him and wrapping her arms around his back.
Lucas stopped moving and looked ahead, trying to ignore the presence of his wife.
She smiled into his shoulder blades, knowing that it wouldn't be long before he was over his little strop.
"If it bothers you that much honey, we won't mention it again."
Lucas must have heard the humour in her voice because he huffed once more.
"It's not funny Peyton, I was humiliated!" he sulked.
Peyton went around to face him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I know baby. Don't let it get to you ok. Let's just enjoy the rest of the holiday."
Lucas sighed deeply and looked over her shoulder.
"Oh stop acting like a four year old!" she scolded.
That drew a small smile from the corners of his mouth as he shook his head at her.
He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her lips.
"Have you matured now?" she laughed.
Lucas let out a chuckle and nodded his head. "Yes dear."
She smiled warmly at him and placed a quick kiss on his lips as the others came to join them, deciding that it was time for lunch.
After spending the rest of the afternoon at the pool, which was mainly spent making fun of Lucas, everyone decided it was time they tried the onsite restaurant.
When they had seated themselves around the large table, they all relaxed with drinks and began reflecting on what they wanted to do tomorrow.
Keith was all for going fishing again as Nemo had unfortunately perished due to being uprooted from his home. Keith had been a little sad at first but then decided to get over the grief by going out and getting even more fish. Lucas and Peyton weren't too keen on this idea and quickly tried to think of something else.
"Hey, what about that animal farm thing that we saw advertised on that bill board on the way here?" Haley helpfully suggested.
This immediately had Keith and Jamie's vote as they then begged anyone who would listen to take them.
"The animal farm it is then" Lucas laughed as he bounced William in his lap. "What do you reckon little man? You up for seeing a few animals?"
William blinked at him before flashing a toothless smile.
"He has already seen enough of them in his life with you, Nathan and Skills" Brooke laughed bringing an indignant "hey!" from the guys.
As the night progressed, the group became more and more relaxed, enjoying being in each other's company.
The restaurant was full of happy families adding to the contented, relaxed atmosphere. Excitement in the room increased as several people spotted staff setting up a karaoke machine on the stage.
After dinner, the gang sat around chatting idly as Lucas and Keith began a game of cars. This involved Keith sitting on his father's lap using one of Lucas' hands as a steering wheel and the other as a gearshift. Lucas added to the effect by adding car noises and jolting Keith about as he 'raced.'
The little boy giggled in delight as his father narrated his skills, as though he was in the F1 Championship.
"My, my ladies and gentleman, never before has this level of driving been seen. Keith Scott is sure to become world champion!" Lucas cheered as Keith continued to laugh.
As they continued to play, Nathan left to go and order more drinks for the group and to go and change Aidan's diaper.
"Good god son!" Nathan exclaimed as he left the table with Aidan "smells like pure evil in there!"
The others laughed as they watched Nathan stroll off rather quickly.
"Nice one, making Nathan change that!" Brooke laughed at Haley, who smiled wickedly.
"Hey, I have changed enough evil diapers from that kid! Nathan needs to even the score, and since he was getting up anyway......"
The others laughed at her thought out plan.
"I would love to see his face as he changes it!" laughed Skills.
"By all means go and find out if you think you can handle the smell" Haley giggled.
Skills quickly changed his mind as he settled back into his seat.
A little while later, Nathan returned wearing a rather cocky smile that the others hadn't anticipated on.
"Why are you so happy?" Peyton asked as Nathan settled Aidan back in the stroller to sleep.
"Do I need a reason? I'm on holiday with the people I love most in the world. Isn't that reason enough?" Nathan asked.
There was silence around the table as everyone stared at him.
Nathan just laughed as he sat back down just in time for the waiter to arrive with their drinks.
As everyone settled back into conversation, they heard the DJ on stage announce the opening of the Karaoke machine and they all turned their attention to it, looking to see who was going to humiliate themselves.
"Ok ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Karaoke night!" the DJ shouted enthusiastically.
"If anyone wants to participate, all you need to do is come up here, write your name and song choice on a slip of paper and wait your turn to sing."
The people scattered around the restaurant broke into happy applause before the DJ continued.
"Now, we have already had a few names put forward so we are up with them next. Could Lucas and Nathan Scott please make their way up to the stage please?"
Lucas sat there in shock. Surely that wasn't his name he had just heard. He turned towards his brother who confirmed it was actually his name as he saw the smile break out on his face.
"Come on big brother, fancy a sing along?" Nathan grinned.
Lucas glared back. "You didn't"
The others around the table were laughing with delight.
Nathan nodded "I think I did."
"Lucas and Nathan, are you here?" The DJ asked again.
Before Lucas had time to relax, Nathan had pulled them up to the stage, happily letting the DJ know they were still there, and a mic had been shoved into his hand.
He sighed heavily before smiling at Nathan.
"You owe me big time" he muttered with a laugh.
Nathan smiled "we'll see."
Lucas looked over to the table and saw all the girls start to cheer them on.
As the strains of RUN-DMCS' It's tricky blared across the room, he turned to his brother in horror.
"You are so dead."
Hope you liked it. I know it's not up to my usual standard, I wasn't that happy with it. But at least you know I haven't given up on the story. Look out for more Scott Family Stories- I am expanding the series lol. Please review and let me know your thoughts!
