Anything For You
Chapter 7
After hearing the news Emily glanced at Nik and smirked.
"Great!" Elizabeth huffed as she walked past them and into Lucky's car
Lucky turned his head and his body followed as he moved towards the car.
"Call you later, Luck!" Nik called after him
Lucky waved and got in the car
~~**~~
"EEKK, Nikolas we couldn't have planned this better ourselves!" Emily beamed
"How so?"
"They are going to be together 24/7. They'll either kill each other or…."
"Just keep ignoring their feelings"
"NIKOLAS! I need you to think positive!" Emily wined
"I can't help it Em, I'm a realist"
"Well then…start thinking in terms of our goal. This could be a good thing right?"
"Yeah"
"See, there ya go! You're thinking positive. Oh God, listen to me, I sound like I'm running a self-help seminar"
"I wasn't gonna say it"
They both laughed
"Come on, Em. I'll get ya home"
~~**~~
Elizabeth just sat in the car, waiting for Lucky to get going. He sat there; he had put the key in the ignition, but hadn't started it.
"Well, what are you waiting for?"
"Elizabeth, I don't want to go home, until we work this out. We've never fought for longer than 5 minutes and even than the fights were few and far between, but lately we're battling all the time."
"Well you're the one flaking on me!"
"Elizabeth! I just said I was worried about you getting close with Nikolas"
"Oh, you mean Nikolas, your brother, the guy who was last week not so bad? That Nikolas?"
Lucky turned to her with an annoyed look on his face.
"Look Elizabeth, I'm sorry. You're right he is my brother and I do want you two to get along. I just got ahead of myself."
"I'd say! Lucky you know me better than anyone! I just said I was considering his idea of a truce, you know I would never go out with him! Sorry but he is NOT my type"
Lucky laughed
"At least we know you're not attracted to wax figures!"
Elizabeth laughed
"Lucky!"
"I know, I know…but he may be my brother, but he is also still part Cassadine!"
Finally Lucky reached for the key and started to car.
~~**~~
Lucky walked into the house first.
"Mom? We're back!" Lucky called out
Laura peaked out from around the corner of the kitchen.
"Lucky!" She smiled
"Hey mom"
Laura walked over and hugged him.
"Hi Liz, so you're stuck with us!"
"I'm sure I can mange. Thanks" Liz smiled
"Hey, we're glad to have you! Anytime! So you two, how was the trip?"
Liz and Lucky looked at each other.
"It was an experience" Lucky smiled
Liz laughed at his answer.

LATER THAT DAY
*Ring*
"Hello?" Lucky answered
"Lucky, hey"
"Hey Nikolas, what's up?"
"Not too much. How are things going there?"
"You mean, are Elizabeth and I ready to kill each other?"
They both laughed
"Yeah, I guess, I'm asking that too"
"No, we're not. We worked it out. We always do." Lucky smiled
"So where is she?"
"You wanna talk to her?"
"No, I was just curious"
"She's over at her house, she wanted to shower and get some stuff to stay over"
Nikolas raised an eyebrow
"And where, will Miss Webber, be staying?"
"In the guestroom, where else would she be staying?"
"Oh I don't know…"
"Nikolas! I told you. We're best friends"
"Are you completely sure that's all"
"Yes!"
"I don't know, Lucky, you sound pretty unsure about that to me"
"Nikolas, I'm not getting into this again"
"Alright, alright. Time has a way of revealing all"
"You're just a walking fortune cookie aren't you?"
"Maybe. So what are you two doing tonight?"
"Probably just hanging around, u?"
"Em and I are going to that party in the park. You should come"
"Alright I'll ask Elizabeth. We'll probably meet you there"
"See ya later"
"bye man"
Lucky hung up the phone and ran over to Elizabeth's door. He tried the door, it was open so he let himself in.
"Elizabeth?"
"Lucky?"
Elizabeth looked down from the top of the stairs. Lucky's jaw completely dropped.
Elizabeth was standing at the top of the stairs, in a just above the knee-length bathrobe and her hair soaked. She just got out of the shower.
"Lucky? How did you get in? Lucky? Hello? Earth to Lucky?"
"Humm…aw…what? Sorry"
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing, nothing sorry, what were you saying?" Calm down Lucky. It's Elizabeth your best friend, he mentally scalded himself.
"I asked you how you got in"
"You left the front door, open"
"Oh, oops" She smiled
Lucky was still just starting at her. She finally realized what she had on.
"Hang on a second"
Elizabeth left the top of the stairs and went into her room to change.
Lucky ran a hand through his hair.
"What just happened there?" he asked himself.
She came down a few minutes later. Wearing jeans and a black tank top. A
clip loosely held up her wet hair. Lucky was sitting on the couch.
"So I have an idea for tonight" Lucky said as he regained his thoughts
"What's that?" She said as she sat down facing him
"Well there is this party in the park tonight. Do you wanna go?"
"Lucky, I don't know I'm kinda tired and my ankle is still a little weak"
"Come on, let's go! It will be fun. And if you're lucky I may just dance with you"
"Oh gee, well then"
"Please" Lucky pouted
"Alright, alright"
"I'll go get ready. Here, take this bag back with you"
"What's this"
"My stuff for tonight, I packed it before I showered"
Lucky got up, "I'll be back in a little while to get you"
Lucky left and Elizabeth went upstairs to start getting ready
~~**~~
LATER AT THE PARK – The Party
"Liz, Lucky! You to made it!" Emily smiled
Nikolas walked over. He handed Lucky and Liz a drink.
"Should I check this first?" Liz smirked
They all looked at her.
"It's a habit. I don't think I can break"
Lucky chuckled to himself. He knew her too well.
Nikolas asked Lucky to come and walk with him. He wanted to talk to him.
Emily and he had figured another angle to try. Nikolas was gonna ask him, what he thought about him and Emily getting together.
Lucky swallowed hard
"Well if you both feel that way, you should go for it. I mean friendship is great, but love could be indescribable."
Nikolas smiled inside, knowing how he THOUGHT he felt for Emily and how he really feels about Liz.
MEANWHILE
"So how are things going with Lucky?"
"Things are great"
"Emily, oh my god! I haven't seen you forever!" A voice cried out
"Oh my god!" Emily squealed
Without really realizing it, Emily walked off with her old friend. Leaving Elizabeth standing alone.
"Oh, well that's great" Liz smirked
"Hi there" A voice said
"Hi" Liz said looking around for Lucky
"Dance with me"
"No thanks" Liz said looking at the man
"I said dance with me"
"Are you hard of hearing? I don't want to dance"
"I like a girl with fire"
"Isn't that nice"
"Come on"
He grabbed her arm and pulled her to where everyone was dancing.
"Let go of me you jerk!"
Liz tired to get out of his grasp, but he held on tight.
"LET ME GO!"
"You let go of her now, or you'll have more trouble then you can handle"
Liz's head quickly turned around
"Lucky!"
"Let go NOW!"
The guy let go of her arm.
"Who the hell do you think are you?"
"I'm the guy who, after I'm done with you make you forget your own name. Don't ever touch her again."
"Tough guy aren't you. I just wanted to have some fun with the slut"
Without a split second of thought Lucky's fist connected with the guy's nose. He tumbled back a bit. Another guy ran over to him.
"Come on, let's go!"
The two guys took off.
Lucky turned back to Liz
"Are you alright? Did he hurt you?"
"My arm kinda hurts, but I bet his nose hurts more. Thanks"
"Elizabeth I would never let anyone hurt you. I'm sorry I wasn't there fast enough"
"You were still there when I needed you"
"And I always will be"
Elizabeth hugged him.
"Lucky can we go home?"
"We're on your way"
~~**~~
They walked into his house and it was dark and quiet.
"You wanna go to bed?" Lucky asked
"Not really. Let's just sit and watch a movie"
"Okay. I'll get the popcorn started"
"I'm going to get in my PJs"
"I will too, after the popcorn is started"
Lucky made it back down before Liz. He had a pair of plaid pants and a t-shirt. Liz finally came down in her sweat pants and a tank top.
"Ready?" Lucky asked
"Yep, I hope it's a comedy"
Something caught Lucky's eye. He walked over to her.
"Is that what that creep did to you?" he asked pointing to the bruise on her arm
"Yea, it's fine"
"I'm sorry"
"Lucky stop that! You were there for me. You can't protect me 24/7."
"I should though"
"Lucky come on"
They both sat down on the couch and watched movies.
~~**~~
Laura came down the stairs the next morning, smiling at what she found. Both Lucky and Liz were sleeping on the couch. Lucky was sitting up and Liz's head was on his shoulder. Lucky's arm was wrapped around Liz, as was hers around his chest.
"Only a matter of time" she smirked
