A/N - Ok...let's see....This chapter, hence the chapter title, this will probably have quite the bit of fluff in it. *nod* *nod* So, to quote White Lily "If you don't like fluff then bugger off, because in real life, fluff
happens."

Ch 10 - There You Go Again Stealing My Heart All Over Again
8/9/07 - 5:02pm - Thursday

It seemed to Lily that Ray was having an epileptic episode. That was the only way to explain what he was doing to this... atrocious music. It wasn't his fault really. They had decided to study at Ray's house, which was never a good idea as Ray wasn't the world's greatest study buddy. After half an hour of not-studying they resorted to music. After growing bored with the same-ol' same-ol' they ransacked Riley's music. Lily was greatly disturbed.

"Ray...what are we listening to?"

"Ahh...Welcome to the wonderful world of Disturbed."

"Right..." Lily stood up and walked over to turn the CD off.

"Hey! No! Wait! Don't turn it off yet!"

Lily turned to face him, "And why not?"

"Because! I like the first part of the song!"

Lily put a hand on her hip and listened for a moment.

"Tell me exactly what am I supposed to do. Now that I have allowed you to beat me. Do you think that we could play another game. Maybe I could win this time. I kinda like the misery you put me through. Now that you can trust me completely If you even try to look the other way. I think that I could kill this time"

Lily rolled her eyes and stopped the CD, taking it out and placing it back in Riley's CD case. "I can't believe you like them."

"Hey! I like that song! And I don't know what you see is so wrong with them, are you musically biased, Lily?"

"Musically...what? No! I just don't see the point of listening to people who can't play worth anything and they don't sing...they scream. That's all do. Play like crap and scream."

"Do you like System of a Down better then?" He asked, looking through Riley's CD's again. He noticed that the System of a Down CD had a note stuck on it. "Mail back to Mel. CD was stupid. Only 1 good song, not worth it." Ray shook his head, laughing at his cousin.

"No! They're even worse! I can at least kind of stand the beats that...whoever that was has in their songs."

"Disturbed. The band....was Disturbed."

"You're right. They were disturbed."

Ray shrugged, "Whatever."

Lily shook her head and walked over to look at her black haired friends CDs. "Shock."

Ray looked up at her, "What?"

She pointed to one of the CDs in the case "She has a country CD."

"What?" Ray almost yelled, looking back down at the CDs.

"Yeah, it's Sarah Evans. She's not rock, she's country. They have her video on CMT all the time."

Ray looked back up at her, leaning his head back, "You watch CMT?"

"Uh, yeah..." Lily said, as if he should know this.

"I can't believe you would commit such a sin, Lily! CMT...Tell me you don't listen to it over Fuse!"

"Sometimes...When nothing good is on Fuse."

"There's never anything bad on Fuse!"

"Whatever Ray, can we cut the music for awhile and try to...oh, I don't know...do what we'd originally planned to do."

"What was that?" Ray asked, acting oblivious, knowing what she was talking about but not wanting to.

"Study. We have a test in History on Monday. We need to study, Ray."

"But I don't like studying!"

"To quote Riley, ultimately quoting her friend, Faith: Life sucks and then you die."

Ray blinked, "But...Lily!"

"Don't 'but Lily' me. We're studying and that's that." She crossed her arms defiantly, smiling in a conclusive way.

"But..."

She gave him a look that she only could have learned from Riley and he silenced immediately. She smiled, "Thank you." She sat down and opened her history book.

Ray sighed. This was the last thing he wanted to do today. They had three and a half days! History was the last class of the day, they could study last minute in study hall--That's what it's for after all. "Lily--"

Lily's head shot up, "No, we are studying today. We are not shoving it off until last minute study hall."

Ray sighed again and lay down on his stomach, leaning on his hand as he opened the book. "This sucks..." Suddenly Ray brightened up. "I'll study..."

"Good."

"On one condition."

"Why didn't I see that one coming?" Lily rolled her eyes. "What's the condition Ray?"

Ray set his book to the side. "If you can tell me what we are supposed to be studying after five minutes, then we'll study."

"All right," Lily looked at her watch. "But I don't see how I'm going to forget."

Ray grinned, "I forgot to tell you what we'll be doing."

Lily raised her eyebrows, "And what will that be?"

In one rushed motion, Ray pushed her over and pinned her down, kissing her quickly. "This."

"Oh..."

8/9/07 - 5:12pm - Thursday

Riley was seriously bored. School had started again but she had finished most of her homework in study hall, and what she hadn't finished or gotten after that, she had already finished. She sighed. She was starting to wonder about something. This certain something had crossed her mind more than once. When are Ray and Lily going to have sex? After a few moments she frowned. And why the hell am I wondering this? She shook her head. Sometimes it almost seemed that the teachers should give people more homework--Or maybe she was just delusional from being bored. She fell back on her bed just as the door opened. She lifted her head and was a little shocked to see Travis in the doorway. "Travis? What are you doing here?"

"I remember you mentioning having an History test on Monday..."

"I'm doing fine in History, Travis Anthony Strong, it was Chemistry that I sucked at and that was last year...no more this year. I don't need help with History..." She grinned, "I think you just made up an excuse for our parents to believe for your coming over...though since we're dating, you shouldn't have to make up excuses, now should you?"

"Do you remember the breathing process, Riley?"

"Of course. I breathe all the time. Mostly when I'm talking...but you know, it's a little function that just happens naturally. I haven't figured out how to control breathing and like...not breathing yet."

Travis shook his head and sat down on her bed next to her. "Written anything lately?"

"Puh-lease! I haven't had moment's peace enough to do so!"

"You had all summer and you've hardly had any homework yet."

Riley sat up and sat on her knees. She made Travis look at her, taking the sides of his head in her hands, "Travis! Have you learned nothing from me? I thought you spoke Riley-ese! When I say that I haven't had moment's peace enough to write and you know I've had more than enough time to do so...it simply means I have had a serious case of seriously annoying writer's block!" She grinned.

Travis took her hands in his and smiled. "Riley..."

"Yeah?" She asked, her usual happy tone.

Travis said nothing but both of them knew what was going through his mind. They leaned in and kissed. Somehow, Riley had shoved him down on the bed and was on top of him. Neither of the two cared about how this happened, however, because they were both too caught up in the moment to realize any of this.

Kim had asked Robbie to meet her at Mickey's so they could spend time with each other. Today was the last day she had before her first term in college started. School started a week later for her than it did the five high schooler's. Currently, the couple was sitting on the couch in the music- store-restaurant. Kim had her legs drawn to her side and her head was on Robbie's shoulder. "This is kinda sad...ya know?"

"Yeah...I wish you didn't have to go away..." Robbie said, his thumb rubbing the palm of her hand.

"I know, me too, but...I have to go to college. You don't want to be dating some dumb girl, now do you?" She looked up at Robbie, smiling.

Robbie couldn't help but smile back, "I wouldn't care as long as it was you."

She smiled, "But, I mean...if you come next year and stay on campus, we'll be able to see each other a lot more often, you know?"

"Yeah..."

Kim looked up at him, "You are going to Ontario for college, right?"

"Well...I don't know, probably but..."

"It doesn't matter, though, does it?"

"No..."

"I mean, why would it? Love can prevail over anything, even distance, right?"

Robbie smiled. "There you go again."

"What?" Kim looked at him, her head titled to the side slightly.

"You're making me fall for you all over again." He whispered, leaning down to kiss her.

A/N - Ok, so MAYBE I can find a way for this chapter to actually make a
connection with the rest of the fic. I don't know Jess came up with the title and a small bit of the Lily/Ray part but, other
than that, it was all purely me. If it sucks
blame me, not her. lol. Anyway, I'm really not sure what to do with the
next chapter. I'm completely in the dark. ...When you think about it, considering I'm the author and all, I think that me behind
in the dark for the next chapter is kind of sad.
Don't you agree? ANYWAY...next subject. If you have an idea or whatever
that you would like to see here in the
fic, tell me in a review, IM me, e-mail me or something to let me know.
TIA! to any that dow this...(that's...Thanks In
Advance) Honestly, though...wasn't the chapter cute? I mean...I've been
ATTEMPTING fluff in some recent "OC" fan fics but... it's kind of gone BLEH! But the attempt wasn't so bad. It's actually almost
GOLD compared to the other stuff I've written Maybe it's just because I know these characters better. Or, my version of
the older versions of these characters. That could have been confusing. Or...maybe it is. Anyway, since practically
none of you are actually readin
this, I'm going to CONSIDER ending this Author's Note. But I'm only
thinking about it. Don't expect too much. Me thinking isn't a good idea. You could almost say that the end
of the world is
coming when I think...or...maybe that's when Ray thinks...or
Riley...oooorr...PJ? Oh, wait, you guys don't know PJ...oh well...it's ok, cause you don't know who
I'm talking about and I do. I kind of think it's fun to confuse people

Ash - You obviously don't mind wasting people's time either.

Hey, who asked you?

No one.

Then why are you talking?

Because I can. I'm in your head. I can speak when I want.

Then I have a question for you.

*silence*.......*pause*...................*more
silence*................*more pausing*......
Well, what the HELL was it?!

Oh! Right...why did you choose NOW of all times to speak?
you couldn't do this later? When I'm not in the mood
to type a ton of nonsense?

Don't you mean when I'M in the mood to give
you a ton of nonsense to type?

WHATEVER! Answer the question, ASH!

No....*pause*............*silence*.......hesitation*..........
Ok, fine. If you stop looking at me like that
I'll answer you. *pause*.....
Ok, the answer is.... *silence*.............*pause* ...................*hesitation*.............
No. I had to do it now.

All that time just to say six simple words. Oh well.
Ash...weren't you just saying that I like
wasting people's time?

Yep.

Well...now half of this is YOUR fault.

Why do you say that?

Because, I've been arguing with you
half of this time.

Oh. *pause*....Your right. *mumbles* For once....

I heard that! And...um...Review about the fic or, if you want...
you could review and tell me if you think I should do
something like our lovely wonderful Guest Author
did a few years back. I believe she titled it "Muse Files" But... yeah, that's *points above and PFB/Ash's rambling* is pretty much what it
is Also, if you couldn't tell...every other EnTeReD section was back and forth
from me to Ash. *nod* Ok, well....review please!

Later days, ~PFB
