Chapter Two
Lucky glares at Nikolas, almost three inches away from his face.
" Come on, Lu. Let's go. Emily's waiting downstairs." says Lucky.
" I'm really sorry about this. He didn't mean anything he just said, did you Lucky?" says Lulu.
" No, Leslie Lu, it's fine. No harm done. Lucky just seems a bit bent out of shape. Thank you for being so kind, as always." says Nikolas, walking away towards the elevators.
Lulu crosses her arms over her chest, watching Nikolas leave. She looks back at Lucky.
" Why do you do this?" says Lulu.
" He was being a complete jerk. Did you see the way he was looking at us?" says Lucky.
" He dosen't remember us, Lucky! How do you expect him to look at us? Is that really your problem or is it that you're in love with Emily?" says Lulu.
Lucky looks down.
" Emily and I are none of your business. And besides, it's complicated." says Lucky.
" Not from where I'm standing. You know she loves him." says Lulu.
Lucky dosen't say anything. Lulu sighs, not wanting to have the same fight over again.
" Fine. You know what? I'm gonna head downstairs by myself. I can't do this again with you." says Lulu, walking away towards the elevators.
Lucky opened his mouth to apologize, but she was already gone. He knew she was right. He did love Emily. He had fallen in love with her, and regreted it in a way. If he didn't love her, this all wouldn't be so hard. He knew it was wrong, but he dreaded Nikolas remembering everything..and being able to have her back again like he used to.
Lulu steps off of the elevator, sighing. She was in a good mood and then there had to be another fight about Nikolas. That's how it always was with Lucky these days. Lulu smiles as she spots Luke and Skye walk in together.
" Hey." says Lulu, walking over to them.
" Wow-" says Luke.
" Stop, you're embarassing her." says Skye, with a small smile.
" What? I can't say that my only daughter is the best looking gal here..next to you of course?" says Luke, putting his arm around Lulu.
" Of course you can. Skye you look amazing." says Lulu.
" Thanks, sweetie. Where's Lucky? I haven't seen him in a while." says Skye.
" Um, he was upstairs. We ran into Nikolas so- I think he needs a minute." says Lulu.
" You ok?" says Luke, looking down at her.
" Yeah, I'm fine. They just got into it, as usual." says Lulu.
" I know that must be hard on both of you. I've been talking to Emily alot lately, she's devastated. But I'm sure he'll make a full recovery." says Skye.
" I hope so." says Lulu.
Suddenly Lucy comes out from the ballroom.
" Lulu! Ok, you know you're supposed to be back there in five, right? You, Brooke, and Michael are up first." says Lucy.
" Yeah- Lucy I was on my way back there." says Lulu.
" Lucy, you looking ravishing. As always." says Luke, kissing her hand.
" Aw old pal, you're too kind. Skye, nice to see you, you look great." says Lucy.
" Lucy, thank you." says Skye.
" I hate to cut this short, but this girl has to get her butt back there pronto!" says Lucy.
" Alright, alright. I'm going. I'll see you after." says Lulu, as Luke kisses her on the cheek.
" We'll be watchin', darlin'. Good luck." says Luke, as Lulu runs through the ballroom.
Skye smiles, looking at Luke.
" What?" says Luke, looking at her.
" You know what. You're wonderful with her. She idolizes you." says Skye.
" Please, I don't know much, but I know this. I'm no one's idol." says Luke.
" Uh, huh. Luke Spencer has a soft spot for his kids. Don't worry, I won't tell." says Skye.
" She's a great kid. I just wish her mother was here to see her grow up like this." says Luke, trailing off.
Skye slips her hand into his, reassuringly.
" Come on. Let's get a seat and try to have a good time, alright?" says Skye, leaning her head on his shoulder.
" Sounds like a plan." says Luke, giving her a weak smile as they made there way into the ballroom.
Lulu goes into one of the dressing rooms, taking out the costume from inside the bag she was carrying. She suddenly see's Brooke Lynn come out from the of the rooms, scaring her to death.
" OMG-" screaches Lulu, jumping.
Brooke jumps as well.
" You scared the hell out of me." says Brooke.
" Sorry. You look great." says Lulu, with a small laugh.
" Thanks. I can't believe you were even brave enough to be late. That woman seriously scares me. I wouldn't want to be around her with firearms." says Brooke, putting on the dancing shoes.
" Ah, Lucy's not that bad. She just loves doing this every year and wants it to be perfect." says Lulu.
" So where were you anyway? Michael was worried. I had to threaten him to make him 'not' go looking for you." jokes Brooke.
" I ran into Lucky upstairs and Nikolas happend to pass by. Enough said." says Lulu.
" God, when are they going to ever stop? It's endless." says Brooke.
" I know, but it's not really Nikolas' fault. Lucky provokes it. He's completely fallen in love with Emily. I'm just hoping he gets over it before Nikolas remembers everything- if he does." says Lulu, sadly.
" He will. The doc said it wasn't permanent, right?" says Brooke.
" Yeah- that's what they said." says Lulu.
" He'll remember, Lu. Everything's gonna be ok." says Brooke.
Lulu nods.
" I hope so." says Lulu, as there is a knock on the door.
" Is everyone decent?" says a voice.
" Who's askin'?" says Brooke.
The door opens and Michael pops his head inside.
" Get outa here, Corinthos. We're trying to get ready so Lucy dosen't murder us in our sleep." says Brooke.
" Relax, Ashton. She just sent me in here to tell you that we're on in fifteen and to hurry. Then she said something like 'ta' and ran off mumbling about calling to check on a duck-" says Michael, with a confused look on his face.
Lulu laughs.
" That's Lucy for you. We'll be out in a minute." says Lulu.
" Alrighty." says Michael, leaving.
Lulu goes behind the curtain in the dressing room and changes clothes. She comes out, in full costume.
" I look like a hooker." says Lulu.
" Yes, but a very expensive one." says Brooke, with a smile.
" Ha, ha. Alright, I guess we're more ready than we'll ever be. Even if we do look like prostitutes and both of our families are watching-" says Lulu as they both leave the dressing room walking down the hallway.
" Only difference is I hope mine finds this inappropriate." says Brooke with a laugh.
