Lynn, JoJo, and Leslie were getting ready to leave for earth 5. Hunter nodded.
"Please be careful and stay where the guards can get to you", Hunter said.
The women giggled.
"Yes, we know", Lynn replied.
"Are you sure you don't want to take more? I can let Shawn go with you, or Billy", Hunter said.
"No. Jimmy and Jey will be going with us and Seth. That's enough, if we take more, we will be drawing too much attention to ourselves", Lynn said.
Hunter sighed, but nodded. The girls left and stopped in Ruby region to pick up Seth, Peyton, Ember, and Naomi. Lynn wanted to take the chance to see Roman.
"He's in his office", Peyton sang as she past her.
Lynn giggled and made her way to his office. Knocking she heard him say enter. She smiled and walked in. He did a double take before he stood and smiled.
"Baby", he said, she could hear the happiness in his voice.
She jumped into his arms and kissed him. He moaned, his hands feeling up and down her body. She pulled away a bit.
"I missed you, and you don't have to knock", he whispered.
"Missed you more baby", she replied.
"Have fun shopping, but please be careful", he said.
She nodded. He pulled a credit card out and she went to shake her head no. He slipped it into her back pocket.
"You remember my favorite color", he said.
She giggled and nodded. He pecked her lips before releasing her. She went to walk out.
"Oh, and maybe pick up some lingerie", he said, winking at her.
She laughed.
"We'll see about that", she said playfully.
Getting in the waiting car. Seth was squished between her and Leslie.
"Lets pop open a bottle of champagne", Peyton said, popping the bottle open.
The girls cheered. Lynn noticed a new face and pulled on Ember's arm.
"Who's the new girl?", she asked.
"Oh, that's Bayley. Peyton invited her", Ember said.
Lynn nodded. She knew that name from Hunter. The girls finished the bottle and started drinking wine. When they got to the mall, Lynn linked arms with Seth.
He smiled.
"I'm so glad you're here. I don't think I would survive this trip without you. You are the only one who understands why shopping gives me anxiety", she said.
He squeezed her hand. He hated shopping too because of it. He wished he could have done something more for her.
"So, how are things with Hunter?", Seth asked, wanting to take her mind off that day.
She sighed.
"See that girl there?", she asked, pointing to Bayley.
"Yeah, that's Bay", he said.
She nodded. He put two and two together.
"No way", he said shocked.
"Yup. When we got home he explained everything. It was an instant connection. I'm not mad, I'm actually happy for him. I just need to help him find a way to marry her.", Lynn said.
"Yeah, she's the help and from Black Diamond. Well, not anymore, Roman let her transfer so she's a member of Ruby region", Seth said.
"So why can't the help marry royalty?", she asked.
"Its considered beneath royalty, the future queen has to have some standards and so do at least one or more family member. Like with you, Liam is in the Navy and with Leslie's job it's a bonus. Her dad works for waste management and her mom is a cleaning lady, like her", Seth explained.
"Well those standards suck, who makes these rules", Lynn mumbled.
"Tell me about it. Roman hates them too", Seth replied.
Lynn smiled at the mention of his name. Seth also smiled.
"I'm going to tell him Seth. After the beach getaway. I can't go into a marriage with him not knowing.", Lynn said.
Seth nodded.
"Lynn", Peyton called to her.
The girls all walked into a bikini store. Seth and the twins opted to wait outside. Grabbing some pretzels and lemonade. Each of the girls were looking through racks. Lynn found a few in Ruby red, she smirked.
"Girl, Roman is going to love those", Naomi said.
Lynn giggled.
"That's the point", she replied.
Naomi nudged her. Lynn found one with a red top and black bottoms with hints of red.
Trying it on, she looked at herself in the mirror. Smiling, she knew he was going to like the ones she decided on.
"So which one did you pick?", her sister asked as they walked out.
"A red two piece, I'm thinking of pairing it with some white shorts and red flip flops", Lynn said.
Leslie nodded.
"And you?", Lynn asked as she handed the woman Roman's black card.
Leslie smirked, noticing the card.
"Same as you, except mine is sky blue", Leslie replied.
Lynn noticed her eyes on the card. She nodded.
"He gave it to me.", Lynn said.
They looked at Peyton and she showed them hers.
"Those are cute", Leslie said to Peyton and she looked at the bikini she picked.
Lynn noticed Bayley was still looking. She walked over and smiled.
"Hard time figuring out what you want?", she asked.
Bayley chuckled and nodded. Lynn nodded too and started looking. Finding an Emerald colored bikini.
"Try this one. Trust me, with some black shorts, its going to look great on you", Lynn said.
Bayley nodded and took it.
"Thanks", she said.
Naomi walked over to Lynn and set her arm around her.
"She's a sweetheart, quiet but sweet", Naomi said.
Lynn nodded.
"Let me see what you picked", Lynn said.
Naomi showed her a neon green two piece.
"I was thinking with some light colored shorts", Naomi said.
"Cute", Lynn replied.
Ember came out of the dressing room and showed them both her pick.
"What do you think?", she asked.
"Love the designs, you'll be able to see them in the sun. Black is so the go to when you can't pick a color", Lynn said.
Naomi nodded. Ember walked back in to change. Bayley came out and showed them.
"Girl, where did you get that butt", Naomi said playfully.
Bayley blushed.
"It looks good on you Bayley, take it", Lynn said.
Bayley nodded. JoJo had picked a brown leather one and Peyton made a gagging noise. Lynn giggled and elbowed her playfully.
"Seth would look cuter in it", she whispered.
Lynn laughed.
"Stop", she said to Peyton.
"Just saying", she said.
Lynn walked out while the last of the girls finished paying. Seth smiled.
"Did you find some?", he asked.
"We did. By the way, what are you wearing?", she asked.
"Shorts", he said, like it wasn't obvious.
She laughed softly.
"So you could match with Liam. You two would always match when you went out for dates", she said.
Seth nodded.
"White and gold shorts, I have some I haven't used yet", Seth said.
Lynn nodded.
"I'll let him know", Lynn winked.
Seth shook his head at her and chuckled.
"Shoes", they heard Peyton squeal.
"Come on", Seth said, putting an arm around Lynn.
JoJo had let Lynn and Leslie know she was going to the restroom. It was across from the store, so the three men stayed put. Getting inside, Bray came out of one of the stalls and smiled. She approached him and kissed him.
"You looked amazing in that bikini by the way. The only thing that sucked was not being able to touch you", he said.
She smiled.
"Has she said anything?", he asked, locking the door.
"No. Nothing from what they already know", JoJo said.
Bray nodded. She took his hand and he met her eyes.
"Why can't we just run away together? Forget this and just leave. Being away from you for so long is killing me", she said.
"I know, but I really don't want to live on the run for the rest of our lives. I want to have a family with you Jo, a marriage. A beautiful home with normal lives. After this is over, I'm done, no more", he said.
He kissed her. Someone knocked and they both looked at the door.
"Yeah?", JoJo called.
"Just checking on you", Jey called back.
"I'm good, just washing my hands", she replied.
She kissed Bray once more before unlocking the door and walking out. Jey looked over at her.
"Why did you lock the door?", he asked.
"Just being cautious", she said.
He nodded. They went back to find the women. They were already paying for their new shoes and jewelry.
"Took you long enough", Leslie said to JoJo.
She giggled.
"Sorry, too much water", JoJo said.
