I'm Here...

Don't own GH...just Riley and my wacky ideas

--

It was the evening of the ball as Riley stood in the bathroom fixing her hair.

'Knock Knock," Spinelli said from the doorway.

Riley turned around and looked he cousin over. He was all dressed up for the event. This was the first time that the young girl saw her cousin in a suit and knowing what was to come it probably wouldn't be the last. He looked real good. She smiled at him giving him a thumbs up.

"You clean up real nicely there Damian," Riley said leaning over and striating his tie.

The young man gave her a nervous look.

"You think so," Spinelli said, "you think my date...the family will like the Jackal."

"I'm sure they'll love you as much as Jason and I do," Riley said twirling around.

"So," she said, "how do I look?"

"Most people can't pull off lavender," Spinelli said, "but you Riley...your not most people.'

"Damn strait," Riley said in a cocky tone as she walked passed Spinelli and headed into her room.

'Where do you want to meet?'

The message on the laptop said.

Riley smiled.

'Hotel Lobby,' she typed, 'I'll be holding a single red rose.'

"Riley," Spinelli said, "do you mind if the Jackal gets a ride with you and Milo."

"Not at all," Riley said.

--

Meanwhile at the hotel guests were already arriving to what was sure to be the social event of the year.

Lulu entered the room with Logan on her arm. She could feel people glaring at them but she didn't care.

"Are parties always like this here," Logan whispered.

"The ones I've been too," Lulu said, "yes..."

Logan nodded as they were spotted by his father.

"Please don't tell me you're here with Luke Spencer's daughter," Scott asked.

"Ok," Logan said, "I won't tell you."

Scott looked at the young girl who reminded him of her mother Laura both in looks and spunk.

"You be careful with this one," Scott said.

"I will," she snapped as they found a seat.

Maxie stood in the lobby and was watching Georgie looking at her cell.

"What are you doing," Maxie asked.

"I've forward my messages from my computer to my cell," Georgie said looking, "he said he'd meet me here."

"Well I've got to wait for Coop," Maxie said, "care for the company."

"She already has me," Lucas said, "her wingman."

Maxie nodded.

"Well is Coop comes," Maxie said, "Tell him I'm inside."

Georgie nodded.

--

Milo arrived at the penthouse and looked at Riley.

"Wow," he said, "again you look gorgeous..."

He turned to Spinelli and smiled.

"We are the two luckiest guys Spinelli," Milo said, "to come into the ball with the prettiest girl on our arm."

Spinelli nodded.

"He's right," Spinelli said, "no matter whom my date is no woman there can hold a candle to you my beautiful cousin."

"Damian," Riley said, "I did some medaling and your date will be in the hotel lobby all you have to do is be waiting and holding a single red rose."

Spinelli nodded.

Back at the ball Carly was frantic which was making Jason frantic. She was currently having Jason help her line up all her outfits.

"How many costume changes are you having there Carly," Jason asked.

"You remember how many Lucy had," Carly said, "well I want more Jase...I want this ball to be the best one yet."

Jason nodded and helped the young woman out.

-

Lulu and Logan watched as Maxie headed over.

"Great," Maxie said, "I'm stuck at your table."

"Believe me," Lulu said, "I'm as thrilled as you are."

"Oh well," Maxie said, "maybe if I can act civil with you guys Coop will take me back for more then just tonight."

Logan didn't like the eldest Jones sister but she somehow made his friend happy so he was going to be civil with her for Cooper.

Cooper meanwhile planed on making things right with Maxie as he entered the hotel. Georgie spotted her sister's ex with a single red rose in her hand and rolled her wyes.

'You've got to be kidding me.' Georgie thought heading over to Cooper and smiling.

"Hey," Cooper said.

"Hey," Georgie said, "I would have never guessed."

"That I'd want to take Maxie back after all the crap she pulled," Cooper said, "I didn't at first."

"Oh," Georgie said, "no...I just thought you...its silly."

"What is," Cooper said.

"He said he would have a red rose," George said.

"Oh," Cooper said, "sorry...no I'm not him."

"I-I kind of figured when you said you were getting back with Maxie," Georgie said.

"Good Luck though," Cooper said, "where is she by the way."

"Inside," Georgie said.

Cooper nodded and headed into the hall.

Milo's car pulled up to the hotel as he opened the door for Riley.

"Why thank you," Riley said kissing his cheek and taking his hand, "ready to turn this town on its end."

"You bet," Milo said.

The trio entered Milo and Riley arm and arm with Spinelli walking along besides them. Georgie soon spotted them and smiled. She had yet to see the rose Spinelli had in his hand though she continued to head over.

"With your hair and make-up all done up Riley," Georgie said, "you look even more beautiful then at Wyndoms."

"And you," Riley said, "you look fabulous as well...so has your mystery man come yet."

"Not yet," Georgie said, "I had a false alarm...Cooper."

"Cooper," Riley said shocked.

"He is planning on making up with my sister tonight," Georgie said.

"She doesn't deserve him," Riley said.

"Oh don't I know it," Georgie said, "anyway you're so lucky to have not one but two gorgeous guys escorting you."

"Actually I have three," Riley said, "Jason is helping Carly."

Georgie nodded.

"Why did you think that the Clean Cut Cadet was your date if the Jackal may ask," Spinelli said.

"He had a red rose," Georgie said, "the last message my date sent was that he'd be here with a red rose."

Spinelli pulled the rose that he was holding out in front of him.

"You mean like this," Spinelli asked.

"Yea huh," Georgie said nodding, "anyway I imagine Spy Boy to be the fashionably late type."

"d-did you say Spy Boy," Spinelli asked.

Georgie nodded.

"Yes," she said, "that was his screen name...Lucas tells me that I fell for the guy because of his name but I believe we have so much in common."

"Why were you drawn to his name," Spinelli asked.

"My father was...er...probably still is a spy," Georgie said.

"What if the Jackal told you he was your online companion," Spinelli said, "would you turn me down because I'd totally understand."

"I'm glad it's you actually," Georgie said, "I don't know if you are aware of this but I kind of have a crush on you."

Spinelli was shocked. He was always the crushor never the crushee. Also she obviously wasn't a blonde one which he kept telling himself that if Euro Chick wasn't blonde it would be a good sign. He took her hand and escorted her inside.

'I just hope that Georgie Jones is ready for the storm that's coming tonight,' Spinelli thought
