**Okay guys, I kinda changed something small about this chapter. Instead of making Conner's lyrics about his relationship with Liz, they're just about his thoughts on love in general. I couldn't figure out how to word that, so I just went with the same heading as Liz. Anyway, so that's all until next time! Oh yah.. and Liz's song is Head Over Feet by Alanis Morisette.Thanks to everyone who reviewed, keep them coming!**
"Eeeeeeeeeeeee!" Jessica squealed happily, as she and Liz sat in the jeep. Liz stared at Jessica blankly. "Umm...ok?" Jessica smiled. "Oh my... Liz, Conner was so obviously mesmerized by you!" Liz grinned. "He was? I mean, I wasn't sure.. but I thought he might've been. Well.. it sorta seemed like it." Jessica smiled cockily. "I knew it! He's still one hundred percent in love with you Liz! Now, all you have to do is wear a totally hot bikini for the beach, he'll drool and everything will work out!" Liz sighed dramatically. "Ever the optimist, eh Jess? As.. awesome... as that would be.. I don't know, I doubt it will happen. I'm just surprised he even touched me."
"Don't be. He's never gotten over you." A smile played on Elizabeths lips although she tried to hide it. She pulled into their driveway, and they hopped out of the car. "Hey mom and dad! We're just here to get some beach gear!" Jessica called out, as she ran up the stairs. "Ok girls! Have fun!" Mrs.Wakefield yelled back. Jessica raced into her room and pulled out any bathing suits she could find. "Aha! It's still here! YES!" she shrieked, pulling out her american flag string bikini. Elizabeth smiled. "Nice selection Jess."
"Yeah, I know! Now, what are you wearing"? Elizabeth shrugged. "I guess my black tankini?" Jessica sighed. "No Liz. This is crucial. Beyond crucial. The black tankini it out." Elizabeth furrowed her brow. "Umm.. what about..my flowered one-piece?" Jessica let out an exasperated breath. "No Liz. One pieces are out. You need a bikini. You've gotta go the full nine yards. Here." Jessica said, handing Elizabeth her baby pink bikini.
"Take this. It's perfect."
Elizabeth blushed. "But.. it's so.. skimpy. I'll just wear the tankini." As she said this, she reached for the tankini. Jessica laughed. "Ah ah ah Liz.. pas de one-piece! Conner is gonna drool. You're wearing the pink one." Elizabeth shrugged. "Fine. Whatever. Let's just get ready." As soon as Elizabeth said that, her cellphone rang. "Hello?"
"Hey Liz! Girlfriend! It's Maria!"
"I'm here.. as in Sweet Valley! I miss you so much!"
"Oh my gosh Maria! We're all headed to Crescent Beach, so meet us there, k? I would talk longer but I have to get ready."
"Sounds good! I've got a certain blond football player here with me, so we'll definitely be there!"
"Awesome! I'll see you then!"
"Bye Liz!"
Elizabeth hung up the phone with an ear to ear grin. "Maria's coming.. this just seems to get better and better." Still, as happy as she was, something nagged at the back of her mind. Conner. She knew it was him. It would be nice to have a fairytale ending, but she knew that wasn't likely. This was Conner they were talking about.

Meanwhile, Conner contemplated his situation. He definitely wanted to go to the beach. But he had no bathing suit. What should he do? There was no way he was going home, to see that stupid Clark jerk. Who did he think he was anyway, invading his family like that? They were fine. Him, Meagan, and his mother. It had been perfect. Finally, Conner decided just to go to the beach in his jeans. What was the big deal? It wasn't like he was gonna swim, right? He just wanted some quality time with his best friends and he was going to do that.

Tia hurried home, pondering the whole way. Was she imagining the spark between her and Evan? Now it seemed as though he was totally fixated on Elizabeth. He couldn't be going down that route again, could he? It was so clear Conner was infatuated with Liz, and now Evan too? Why should Liz get both of them? That wasn't fair, was it? And why should she care? Sighing, she let herself into the house. No one was home. Still. Had her parents forgotten about their only daughter, home from school? Tia walked upstairs to her room, and pulled out her fire engine red bikini. She put it on, relieved that she hadn't put on the freshmen 15. At least, not yet. She looked around her familliar room. There were so many memories there. Her eye caught two pictures, both from prom, but from two different proms. One of her and Angel, and one of her and Trent. She had loved them both, Angel and Trent. She had always thought she and Angel were meant to be together. And then when Trent came along, Tia really believed they had something special. It was all College and University's fault. With them, everyone had developped seperate lives. And all that kept them together were the memories. But they were making new memories at school... and those slowly replaced the old ones. The old memories that weren't replaced seemed tarnished and old. With those depressing thoughts, Tia resolved to make plenty of memories of this break. She didn't want anyone to forget her... and most of all, she didn't want to forget how much her old friends meant to her.

Elizabeth Wakefield:
Lyrics to describe me during mine and Conner's relationship:
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
Lyrics to describe Conner and his thoughts about love, just in general:
They call me superman,
leap tall hoes in a single bound,
I'm single now, got no ring on this finger now,
I'll never let another chick bring me down in a relationship,
save it bitch, babysit
You make me sick,
Superman ain't savin' shit,
girl you can jump on Shady's dick
....
So am I wrong to think this might not work out?
