A/N: Thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far, you're all great! I love you all, and sorry about
the squished text. Again, I know I know I figured out the problem—it was my stupidity and I but
anyway, I hope you can read this chapter better so you can enjoy it better! Here it is.
Recap: The guys are in the club now on Jack's part of the date.
Jack turns on some dance music and goes behind the bar counter.
"Anything to drink?"
"Just tonic water with a lime for me, please," Simon replies.
"I'll take one of those frozen icy slushy things, uh please," Ralph smiles.
"Aren't you cute?" Jack says grinning as he whips up blue frosty thing with care for
Ralph. Then he quickly scoops some ice in a wineglass, fills it with water, and sticks a lemon wedge
on the side, and serves Simon last.
"Umm Jack, this is a lemon wedge. I wanted lime," Simon says, emphasizing "lime",
and looks at Jack innocently,
Jack scoffs. "What's the big—" He stops as he notices Ralph is staring at him.
"I mean, you're absolutely right. You did say lime, my mistake." Jack pulls a lime
wedge out of a cooler.
"Here you go, fresh and limey."
"What nice service, huh, Simon?" Ralph winks at Jack, smiling.
"Oh yes I do agree," Simon says smiling at Ralph.
"So, who wants to go dance?" Jack says, walking out from behind the bar.
"Sure, let's go," Ralph says as he and Simon get off his stool and follow Jack onto
the dance floor.
They all start dancing as a song with a tribal drum begins accompanied by a voice-
modulated singer. The rhythm flows through them, and even Simon begins to swing around a pole
with the other two until all three of them are just playing "Ring-Around-the-Rosy." They are all
laughing and trying to catch one another in a circle: Ralph trying to catch Simon, Jack trying to catch
Ralph, and Simon just trying to not get caught. Jack starts singing "Ring-Around-the-Rosy."
"Come on Simon, let's sing for Ralph just like in the choir days."
Simon blinks, shocked for a second at the sudden remark of their past, and runs
faster around the pole, but begins to feel strengthened. Besides, they were adults now, and had
learned to re-adjust to society. These were better times now.
"OK, let's sing!"
The two sing between gasps of breath and laughs while continuing to run around the
pole, getting dizzy. Ralph laughs and keeps up with the game.
"Ashes, ashes, we all fall DOWN!" Jack and Simon yell, and literally fall down, along
with Ralph. All of them pant, exhausted, and close their eyes, trying to get their balance back.
Camera change
Jack: (Laughs) that was so crazy, but it was all in good fun. I really think Ralph likes
me the best now.
Simon: Time to make my move now.
Camera switches back
"Jack, that was great, but I think you need some recovery time," Simon says, pulling
out his time-out card.
"Aww OK. Have fun you two. Don't do too much without me."
Ralph laughs. "OK, later Jack."
Simon gets up, still a little dizzy, and helps Ralph up.
"Want to go sit down in the lounge over there?" He asks pointing to a dappled-
lighted area, decorated with fake palm trees and plants much like a tropical island. There are comfy,
squishy beanbag chairs, a sofa, and a few Lazyboy chairs.
"Ooh, charming. I'd love to," Ralph smiles.
Simon puts an arm around him and they go sit on the soft, blue couch.
"Ooh, this is a nice sofa," Ralph lays back casually and lets his body relax against the
velvet navy-blue cushions.
"Couch, actually."
"Huh?"
"Nothing. It is nice isn't it?" Simon quickly replies after his random, awkward
statement before.
"So Simon, I really haven't gotten to spend a lot of time with you. Tell me, what do
you look for in a guy and why should I pick you?" Ralph studies Simon's clear, lime-green eyes.
(A/N: I forgot if Simon had blue eyes or not in the book, so I just made him have light green eyes in
this story, so don't yell at me if I made a mistake. Just letting you know.)
Simon inhales and stares back into Ralph's baby blue eyes.
"I look for kindness, respect, someone who is caring and well, protective. I would
treat them with the respect, love, and protection they gave to me." He could see without a doubt, all
these qualities he described in Ralph. He was also surprised at how smooth his sentences had
flowed over his tongue.
"That's very good, Simon. I'm—"
"Ralph, I want to impress you. I want to express myself to you." Simon gently, and
still a little shy, moved closer to Ralph and gently kissed his lips.
In return, Ralph put his arms around Simon and returned the soft, yet passionate
kiss.
Camera change
Jack: Ok, my time-up is over. Time to go win my lover over. (A/N: That was not
meant to rhyme purposely.)
Camera switches back
"Hey, looks like I missed something good," Jack announces, walking into the lounge
as R/S are still kissing. The two quickly break their kiss and greet Jack.
"Simon, did that taste good?" Jack smiles, sarcastically.
"I thought so, even ask Ralph," Simon replies, hearing the sarcasm.
"Yes, I did enjoy it," Ralph nods and smiles to Simon.
"Hey, why don't we all kiss?" Jack grins, excitedly.
"Ooh, sure why not?" Ralph smiles.
"Sure," Simon responds shyly.
"Ready? 1, 2, 3!" Jack calls out.
They all come in awkward, but Jack steals Ralph's mouth, leaving the cheek for
Simon. Then they all break off laughing.
"Well Simon since you've had your fun, it's my turn now," Jack grins as he pulls out
his time-out card.
"Ok, have fun guys," Simon takes the card and casually gets up.
"We'll be in the hot tub out back," Jack calls after Simon as he leaves.
"Ooh, hot tub!" Ralph chuckles.
Jack blushes and grins. "C'mon, let's go get changed."
(A/N: No, nothing happens, they go in separate bathroom stalls to change for all of
you who perceived that as being dirty. But hey, I didn't say it, I'm just the author, Jack said it.)
Camera changes
Simon: Well, Jack just handed me a time-out card and so they're probably in the hot
tub now. I'm not worried because I was honest to Ralph and I expressed myself to him. I was
overcome by an urge to express my feelings at that moment to him, so that's why I went in and
kissed him. I hope he really liked it…I know I did. (Chuckle)
Switch Back
Announcer: And now a commercial break, but coming up next: Simon has shared a
quiet, romantic time-out with Ralph. (Shows previous video clips.)
But when Jack heats things up in the hot tub, will that be enough to win Ralph over?
One of these two guys will get picked, and the other one will end up dancing home
alone. Coming up on "Dismissed"…
A/N: This chapter was originally longer, but I decided to stop here. Well how was
it? I will tell you this, there's an unexpected saucy twist coming up in the last 2 chapters. So if you
want to find out what, keep reading and I'll keep posting whenever I have free time. I can't wait for
school to be out!!!
