Well I really like this chapter because you really see Carter and Abby away from the hospital. It took me all weekend to write this because I had Homecoming and I slept in and went to bed late etc. I don't really have much to report, I'm not in a good mood, but that doesn't reflect in my story (don't worry).

I do not own much of anything in this story. Y-100 is a local radio station here in South Florida and the song used is John Mayer's "Your Body is A Wonderland." Umm.anything else that doesn't belong to me? Oh yeah, the characters.please don't sue me now that I've covered everything. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

At six o'clock, Abby wrapped a towel around herself and stepped out of the shower.

"What are you watching?" She asked as she walked out of the bathroom and saw John sitting on the bed.

"Real World marathon. How do kids watch this?" John asked, intrigued.

"John Carter watching reality television? This is a first."

"Well it was either this or "My Girl" on TNT, which didn't sound appealing either."

"Oh come on. "My Girl" is a great movie!" Abby protested.

"It's a chick flick."

"Whatever." Abby said, pulling on underwear and a bra and wrapping the towel around her head.

"That's an attractive look." John looked up from the television.

"But of course. It's all the rage in Paris." Abby smiled.

"What do you want to do tonight?" Carter asked.

"Oh, I hadn't even really thought about it." Abby said as she slipped on a t-shirt and sat down on the bed next to John.

"I want to take you out. How often are we going to be in Miami together?" John joked.

"Well I just hope you're not planning anything fancy, because I don't have anything to wear."

"I'll buy you something."

"What?"

"We'll go shopping and we can find something for you to wear out."

"You don't have to do that. I don't even want to go out that badly."

"I know you don't, but I want to take you out." John insisted.

"Fine." Abby groaned.

"Get dressed and we'll get going." John said, turning off the tv.

"You're annoying sometimes, you know that?" Abby stuck her tongue out at him.

"You know you love it." Carter grinned as Abby got up and walked back into the bathroom. Ten minutes later, they left the room hand in hand and went down the elevator to John's rental car. He opened the passenger side for her before going and getting in the driver's side. They were driving down the beach, but neither one of them said anything. John decided he needed some music so he clicked the volume button to turn on the radio.

"Hey, check this out, its John Mayer's new song right here on Y-100!!" The radio announcer said.

We got the afternoon You got this room for two One thing I've left to do Discover me Discovering you

One mile to every inch of Your skin like porcelain One pair of candy lips and Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love We'll make it Swimming a deep sea Of blankets Take all your big plans And break 'em This is bound to be a while

Your body is a wonderland Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) Your body is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way Your hair falls in your face I love the shape you take when crawling Towards the pillowcase

You tell me where to go and Through I might leave to find it I'll never let your head hit the bed Without my hand behind it

As the song went on, John reached his hand over and took Abby's. She looked over and smiled at him.

You want love? We'll make it Swimming a deep sea Of blankets Take all your big plans And break 'em This is bound to be a while Your body is a wonderland You body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) Your body is a wonderland

Damn baby You frustrate me I know you're mine all mine all mine But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body is a wonderland Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) Your body is a wonderland Your body is a wonderland.

"I like that song." Abby said after a moment.

"Yeah. Me too."

"Here, pull over here." Abby said quickly and pointed to a parking space.

"What? We haven't gone anywhere, we're still on the beach." John said, but pulled into the spot anyway.

"I know." Abby said, unbuckling her seat belt and getting out of the car. She slid her shoes off and threw them into the car before shutting the door and crossing the street. Bewildered, John did the same and followed her.

"You're nuts you know that!" John said when he realized what she was doing.

"I'm being that tornado that you know and love." Abby smiled.

"No doubt about that."

"Come on." Abby said, taking his hand and dragging him towards the water.

"Please tell me you're not going to skinny dip again."

"Of course not, there's people around." Abby stood right where the tide met the sand and let her feet stand in the water. As the waves came in and out, Abby's feet sunk into the soft sand. "I love doing this."

"You do know that you don't have to come to Florida to play at the beach."

"You didn't have to come to Florida to play at the beach with me."

"I'll follow you anywhere." He whispered in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her waist. She giggled and the two collapsed onto the dry sand behind them.

"This is pretty." John said, looking back at the setting sun.

"Yeah." Abby said, looking over at Carter. "John."

John turned to look at Abby, but she shrugged and shook her head.

"Nevermind." She said, and leaned back and looked up at the sky and sighed.
