Riker's Perspective:
After hanging out for a whole hour with a girl, in a limo, you get to know that person quite well. Elizabeth is funny, beautiful, not country at all (except for the hint in her accent) and LOVES music. She even admitted that she is a BIG fan of R5 and was going to go to the concert where we met Hope-but had some family stuff come up.
The crazy thing, I showed her my song... I NEVER have trusted ANYONE with one of my songs. And yet, I just knew that I could trust her-and she even helped me write the rest of the song. Funny thing is, I have a feeling that she is the same person who originally inspired the song... the girl from Kentucky I couldn't get out of my head...
She even looks a LOT like her, except older and differently dressed and stuff, but STILL! I shake my head, as I open the limo door for her. For the last ten minutes of our trip, she fell asleep after I invited her to sit next to me-so her head laid on my shoulder and I listened to her breathing.
I don't know what it is about this girl-but she makes me crazy. (in a GOOD way!) I like this feeling, it's new to me. I love knowing that she's here now. I don't know why, and I'm not sure about any of this-but I know one thing. I think I'm falling for her...
So she steps out, still a little sleepy, but smiles up at me.
"This the place?" she asks.
"Yup." I reply, tipping the driver of the limo before he drives off.
"So, you think Ross and Hope hit it off?" she asks, trying to hide a grin.
"What do you think?" I ask, in turn.
"I think that she's an awesome, sweet girl who is beautiful inside and out but needs to find her wings-and maybe Ross can give her those wings! She can sing, and she loves doing it and I know for certain she's into Ross... I just don't know how he feels." she replies, sighing.
"Well-I for one know he's into her. He did ask her out you know... Why don't we see for ourselves? They should be back going for a swim by now." I grab her bag, and we sneak over to the pool.
Hope is wearing a modest bathing suit in a purple/silvery shade. Ross is wearing a yellow swimsuit and a HUGE grin on his face. While treading water, he splashes at Hope who slaps him with a wet noodle. They laugh, and Ross dunks her under the water.
Then I blow our cover by tripping over a loose stone.
"HEY!" Ross exclaims, whipping his hair (full of water) out of his face.
Some of it splashes Hope, who turns and sees Elizabeth.
"Lizzy!" she exclaims, jumping out of the pool and grabbing a towel.
"HOPE!" Elizabeth yells back, racing over. Hope dries off and then they embrace in a sisterly hug.
Me and Ross look at each other and then finally I say: "I think we all need to head upstairs-I promised Alex we'd met up at ten and midnight we start the movie."
"What movie?" asked Elizabeth, interrupting our conversation.
"Not sure yet-Riker never picked one out because he was picking up you!" Ross answers her question, winking at me then whispers: "She's a cutie."
"You already have a girl." I whisper back.
"Not for me, for you bro!" he replies, only half-whispering now and slaps me on the shoulder.
"Well, I brought some 'Star Wars' movies in my suitcase. We could watch one of them." Elizabeth says, unzipping a pouch in the front and pulling out the dvds.
"Sure, sounds great! Good idea Elizabeth; I'm happy you packed them." I reply, grinning.
Ross rolls his eyes and winks at Hope who is smothering a laugh. He wraps his arms around her and then we all walk back up to the room.
Alex is waiting outside for us-talking with Rocky and Kira.
"We've been locked out!" Rocky says, when he sees us walk up.
"I thought you wanted the room all to yourself." Ross says, questioningly.
"We had, better plans." Rocky replies, and Kira blushes.
"This is Elizabeth!" Hope says, looking at Kira-who immediately rushes forward to give Elizabeth a hug and they start whispering.
I wonder what it's all about, as I unlock the suite. Alex looks at Elizabeth, then me. She gives me that questioning look and I nod. She grins then whispers as we walk in the door.
"Nice catch," then strolls into the room and plops down on the sofa like she owns the place. That's just how she is.
We start up a game of Apples to Apples while waiting for Rydel and Ratliff to show up and I know somethings up. Ross and Rocky are keeping something from me, nothing bad though. I would know if there wasn't something bad...
"So for happy we have: dirt... er... not really. school! NEVER! puppies: yeah. love: for sure. first kiss..." Ross announces, then blushes. I know what's up now.
Kira looks at Rocky, then at the floor. Hope smiles, blushing and then says: "I think I hear Rydel and Ratliff. Let's pop some popcorn and get this movie night STARTED!"-nice save.
So we let Rydel and Ratliff in, and they've even brought some AWESOME snack food and drinks. Rydel takes one look at me and Elizabeth, who was sitting beside me, and grins. She gives me a thumbs up, introduces herself to Elizabeth-they hug-and then announces some very big news:
"I may have landed a movie!" she tells us about receiving a call to be in this really epic, superhero, movie. We all clap and congratulate her.
"A toast. To love, promises, hope and today!" Ross announces.
"Which hope?" asks Rydel, quietly-but she takes part in the toast anyways.
"And a toast-to friendship, music and the invention of movies... without them we couldn't have a midnight movie night!" Ratliff says, excitedly.
"What movie are we watching?" asks Rydel.
"We decided on 'A New Hope'. You know, Star Wars. Elizabeth brought them-isn't it great?" I ask, smiling.
Rydel gives me a sly look and nods. Rocky puts it in and cuddles on a chair with Kira. Ross, Hope, Elizabeth and I share the couch. That leaves Alex, Rydel and Ratliff sitting at the bar. They don't seem to mind since their closer to the drinks and food.
Ross puts his arm around Hope, and she lays her head on his shoulder. I slowly inch my arm over Elizabeth, who seems startled at first, then settles back until my arm is touching her shoulders. I give a sigh of relief and sit back and enjoy the movie.
Kira's Perspective:
I have just recently met Elizabeth, and see the sparks flying between her and Riker. I told her and Hope about the song and the lake and they both awe. Hope then, in turn, tells us about her date with Ross.
"And he gave me roses and he leaned in-so I went for it!" she told us. And we both were like: awe. None of the boys seem to have overheard our conversation; which is good. We happily enter the suite and play a fun game of 'Apples to Apples'.
After that Rydel and Ratliff return with food, and we make a toast. Right now, it's movie time and I'm enjoying all of it. Even though it's an older film, the effects are spectacular! This was my first time watching a Star Wars film, and I'm glad they showed me this.
I'm cuddling with Rocky, who is now my boyfriend and maybe someday something more. When he told me that he loved me, and said "Here comes Forever." I was so happy. I thought that love was so cliche, and had been so afraid for so long. I thought I'd get my heart broken-so I never tried.
Now, beside him, I feel so loved and so happy. What could be better?
Author's Note: lol so everyone's found out what happened between Kira and Rocky. And Hope and Ross! 3 Riker's happy-and is falling for Elizabeth and Alex is glad to see her friend find a girl. It all worked out pretty well right... or is there something TOO perfect about this picture. Find out in the next chapter. ;)
