"Don't you dare!" A laughed emitted from Alyssa's lips as she quickly backed away from Danny. "Stay away from me." She warned, waving a finger at him. She saw the devilish gleam in his eyes.
The entire cast of Tough Enough III was down at the beach, having a cookout. They had already trained for the day at Trax, and afterwards they had all made plans to meet at the lake. The trainers included. So far, it had been easy going and incredibly normal. It was the most at ease anyone had been so far in the competition. They were enjoying each other's company.
Dustin Rhodes grinned. He was standing several feet behind Alyssa. She couldn't see the twinkle in his eyes that mirrored that of Danny's. "Well, hello sweetheart." He grinned, when she was only inches from bumping into him.
She jumped. Quickly, she glanced between the two men. "Okay. both of you stay away from me." Alyssa laughed shortly, her eyes quickly scanning the area around her for some kind of help. All she was met with, though, were amused smiles at her situation.
Dustin's arms circled around her slowly. "No!" She let out a squeal as she was lifted off of the ground, shaking her head at Danny. "You are gonna get it."
"Sweetheart, I'm not the one six feet off of the ground right now." Danny pointed out, laughing as he motioned with his hand. "Water's that way." He directed Dustin as he slowly crossed the soft, lush grass before meeting the sand that led to the water.
"Don't you dare!" She warned again, wiggling on his shoulder where he was holding her. He slowly slid her off of his shoulder. She locked her arms around his neck. "Either you go in with me, or I don't go in." Alyssa grinned, a triumphant smile crossing her features.
"And that's 100% fine with me." Dustin laughed, walking into the water with her. She groaned as he walked deeper into the water. "Ready?"
"No."
"Was that a yes?"
"No!"
"Are you sure?"
"YES!"
"Yes you wanna go in?"
"No! I said no!"
"Would you make up your mind?"
"I said no." She repeated with a short laugh.
"One.."
"No."
"Two."
"Don't!"
"You better hold your breath!" Al called from his seat, before taking a sip of his drink, watching them amusedly.
"Three." Dustin smirked, seeing that she wasn't letting go, he went under the water, with her arms still locked tightly around her neck. As they resurfaced she instantly dunked him, quickly releasing and making her way out of the water.
"You are gonna be so dead." She laughed quietly, pushing the hair out of her face and behind her ears. "You just wait." She shook her head slowly, laughing as he followed behind her to the table.
She simply bit down on her lip. "Nice of you guys to help me out there." She raised an eyebrow slowly.
"No prob." Riley laughed, looking up as she served herself and sat down at the table.
"And you." She hit Danny in the back of the head.
"Oww! That hurt you little witch." He let out a short laugh, rubbing his hand slowly over the back of his head.
Mark smirked as he finished the burgers on the grill, letting out a soft laugh. They sure were an interesting group. And with that, he announced that the last of the burgers were done and they sat down to eat.

"Hey." Alyssa smiled lightly as she walked into Micah and Danny's room where Danny was sitting on his bed, sealing and stamping an envelope.
"Hey short stuff." She walked over to his bed, taking the envelope from his hands before seating herself in his lap.
"You up to talking?" Softly, she laid her head on his shoulder, her eyes closing slowly as she let out a breath.
"Always." Danny stated, running a hand over her arm in a soothing motion. "Something on your mind?"
Alyssa nodded silently, before biting her lip in thought. She trusted Danny, he was her best friend there. "Everyone's talking about inviting their folks to the house for the fourth of July."
Danny nodded slowly at her words. "Yeah, if I'm still here, my mom and little sister are gonna come."
"I'm happy for you." She spoke, her voice quieted as she twisted her fingers.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't."
"You can't what?"
"I-I can't invite my family." Alyssa continued to speak, her eyes focused on her fingers, unable to look at him. Her voice was almost silent.
"Why can't you invite them?" Danny inquired, his voice gentle as he placed a finger beneath her chin, tilting her face so that she was looking in his eyes.
"I don't have a family." She whispered, biting down hard on her lips, to keep her lip from trembling. Now, if she could keep her tears at bay she would be fine. "Not really."
"How so, honey?"
"My mom's-" Alyssa's eyes closed tightly for a short moment, trying to swallow the lump that had formed in her throat. Letting out a slow breath, she began to speak again, her voice betraying her. It was shaky and unsure. "My mom's dead." She whispered, her voice barely there. "I don't have any brothers or sisters."
"What about your dad?" He asked gently, brushing a stray tear that has slipped down her cheek.
"He left my mom before I was born. She was only seventeen."
"I'm sorry." Danny apologized. Alyssa nodded slightly, her eyes closing at his words.
"I know you are." She attempted to fabricate a smile, but found herself unable to do so.
Silently, Danny placed a tender kiss on her forehead before drawing her into his arms and against his chest. He was giving her the first true sense of support she'd felt in over six months.
Alyssa's eyes closed, her arms wrapping around his middle section. And in the comfort of his arms, she cried. Letting out the first string of tears she had shed since her mother's death.
