Chapter 4
At Lilys house
Lily was downstairs standing in front of her dad trying to get his opinion on what she should
wear "Dad does this look ok?" Lilys Dad looked up from the television and smiled "yes dear
you look fine, why are you so dressed up anyways?"
Lily smiled and got a dreamy look in her eyes "i'm going to watch some movies with Travis up in
my room, he should be here in a few minutes."
(doorbell rings)
Lily rushed towards the door "I'll get that" she calls and she opens it to see Travis standing there
looking fantastic "Hey."
"Hey Lil" Travis said as he sees her father looking to him from the living room so he decides
against kissing Lily hello "ready for that movie?" Lily smiled "yeah sure lets go on up stairs" they
were half way up when her dad called from the living room "Lily keep your door open", She
turned around and called back down "Ok Dad" before turning back and whispering to Travis " I
will just keep it open a crack. Travis lightly chuckled before whispering back "works for me."
In Lilys room
They had just walked in to her room "so have you seen this movie yet?" Lily asked picking up
the dvd off her shelf. Travis shook his head "I don't believe I have." "from what i've heard it's
scary" Lily winked at him. "Thats a good thing" Travis smiled. Lily put the movie into the dvd
player before going and making herself comfortable on the bed beside Travis "I take it you like
scary movies?" "I do, I like the effects, I mean with the thought provoking dialouge and the
techniques some use to portray the chracters... it can be alot better" Travis said looking over at
a confused Lily. She just stared at him " In english please." Travis smiled "I like the scripts and
the way the act them out... plus it give me the perfect opprotunity to hold your hand." "ahhhh
ok i think i like scary movies a lot more now" Lily replied smiling back.
(Credits come on as Travis fastforwards through them, soon the movie begins)
In the middle of the movie Lily began covering her eyes in fear "I did not realize it was this
scary." Travis took her hands away from her eyes and gentely entwined his fingers with hers "I
think somehow you will make it through." Lily looked at their entwined hands and smiled " i
think so too". Travis kissed her cheek "thought so..." Just as Lily was about to respond she
noticed her dad standing in the doorway "oh hey dad." Her dad opened the door a bit more " hi
honey hows the movie?" Lily smiled "fine, its almost over." Her dad nodded "Ok im going back
downstairs then" and with that he turns around and goes back downstairs. once he was gone
Travis turned to face Lily " Still overprotective?" Lily smiled "yup, always has been, always will
be." Travis nodded "That's fine... he's gone so he won't object to me doing this I hope..." as he
leans in and gives Lily a passionate kiss. Lily put her arm around his neck and deepened the kiss
just a little bit more as a response, after about 10-15 minutes "no, no i dont think he would be
objecting to that" before going in for a quick smaller kiss "oh hey look the movies over" she
giggled. Travis looked at the television before looking back at the love of his life "I prefered the
alternative then the movie..." he smiled and gave Lily a quick peck on the cheek. she could not
help but smile "yeah i'd say that was the perfect distraction to the last of the scary part of the
movie" she replied looking at the clock beside her bed "wow its getting late, i wonder how ray
and Robbie are doing on their double date. I mean it can't be going that good considering Ray is
not that fond of Kim"
Travis shrugged "I'd like to see Ray's reaction to him being on a date with my Ex and the self
applyed Queen Of Mean." Lily nodded "oh ya that can't be good. although i kind of think Ray
and Audrey work more for each other. I just wonder how he's handing the queen of mean"
replied giving yet another small giggle. " I know... But there is a feeling inside me that
tomorrow at lunch we are both going to get an earful of what happened" Travis replied simply.
Lily shrugged "who says we have to sit with them? we could have lunch together somewhere
else, unless you really want to hear about the date from hell."
Travis cocked his head to the side in wonder "So where were you thinking? The library? The
gym? Logan high?" Travis joked about getting as far away from Ray and Robbie as possible.
Lily thought for a second about where they could go "how about the stairs by the supply closet
where people hardly ever go?" "It's a date.." Travis agreed smiling. Just then Lily's dadcameup
the stairs and knocked before opening Lilys door the rest of the way "Lily its getting late, i think
its time your friend heads on home." Lily gave Travis a very sad look before turning to face her
dad "ok dad we'll be down in a minute." Lilys dad nodded and went back downstairs. Travis
frowned "date ended too soon... wanna go on another, say this friday?" Lily grinned "sure, i
hear theres a party this weekend feel like going?" Travis nodded excitedly ( but not in the way
that makes him look like a dork) "Sure"
Lily smiled for a second before sighing "ok, we better get downstairs before my dad comes
back up" as she got up, took Travis's hand and started leading him to wards the stairs.
Travis stopped her before she got to the stairway "Do I really wanna risk your dad hating me by
kissing you goodbye downstairs? Not really" he said before leaning in to kiss her. Lily replied
by kissing him back intensely while playing with his hair abit. Travis reluctantly pulled away
"can't get too intense wouldn't want your dad to hate me before we even go out on a second
date." Lily sighed feeling sad that the night had to end so soon "thats true and if he caught us
then i would be locked in my room for life and you would never make it to a second date, come
on lets get down there before he gets really annoying." "Let's" he replied as he grabbed her and
she lead him downstairs. Just as Lily was opening the door so Travis could leave..... her father
cut in "It was nice seeing you again Travis" he called from his chair in front of the television.
Travis smiled " You too Mr. Randall, have a good night". " sorry about him" Lily whispered to
Travis before he walked out the door. "perfectly fine Lily, I'll see you tomorrrow at school."
Lily nodded before closing the door behind him.
Ray and Robbie's Double Date
Ray flicked a piece of bread across the table a mickeys in into robbie's jacket pocket
"SCORE!" "oh thats real cute" Kim said as they got up to leave. "Ray, Act a little more like
your 14, and not like you are 10" Audrey replied in a polite asking tone.
Ray gave in "alright alright..." Robbie chuckled "oh sure Travis and I try to get you to grow up
and you don't get it, Audrey tells you to and you obey. (chuckling) is it the fact that you cant say
no to a girl?" "you mean he can actually act his age?" Kim replied sarcastically. Ray looked at
Kim "Yes.. unlike you, you always have to act like a jerk to everyone..." Robbie sighed "come
on guys i was just kidding, please just try to get a long." Audrey kissed Ray on the cheek "Yea,
Ray you aren't that immature, you are just... Ray." Kim smiled lightly before turning to Robbie
"so Robbie where we going?" "well i figured we could go have dinner at the Roscoe
observation deck" he replied smiling back at her. Kim looked around for anyone before kissing
him on the cheek "Ok." Ray was beginning to get impatient " so are we just gunna stand here
and stare, or get moving?" Audrey jokingly grabbed him by the collar "come on then."
At the Roscoe observation deck
Robbie climbed the last stair leading up to the observation deck "well here we are."
Kim looked around looking for a place to sit "so where we going to eat?" Robbie smiled
thinking about how romantic he hoped the night would be "well i actually have a picnic planned
and in my backpack. I'm hoping Ray brought the stuff i asked him to as well" he said looking at
Ray. "Yep got everything for a romantic night" he said glancing over to Audrey, just like Robbie
he was hoping for tonight to be very romantic. Audrey blushed slightly "That's great Ray".
Robbie smiled "I'm glad you like it." Kim nodded "yes it sounds very romantic." " Shall we sit"
Robbie asked gesturing for them to sit on the grass close by. Ray took off his jacket for Audrey
to sit on "yes, we shall Robbie." Audery smiled "why thank you Ray."
Robbie took off his jacket and back pack before pulling a small blanket for him and kim to sit
on, as soon as she sits down he sits down beside her and entwines his fingers with his before
acknowledging ray "You guys can sit on here too if you want". Kim nodded and gestured for
Ray and Audrey to come sit with her and Robbie "yeah theres more then enough room for you
guys." Ray smiled "thanks for the offering," as he helped Audrey up, and wrappped the jacket
around her as they went to sit down beside the other couple. "no problem" Robbie replied as
he started pulling containers out of his backpack, as well as a few tin foil packets "i brought
some chicken salad, fruit salad, some cookies and some sandwiches. what did you bring ray?"
Ray looked into his backpack "candles..."as he pulled to long slender candles out "and pop" he
said as he pulled out the pop. Audrey was pretty impressed "I see you two are a well oiled
efficient team eh?" Ray smiled at how well everything was going so far "Not all the time."
Audrey gave a light laugh. Kim giggled "I can see they thoroughly planned this out." Robbie
looked at her " yeah, i wanted it to be special." Ray nodded energetically "same here" he said as
he leaned over to kiss Audrey, while he was at it he knocked over a candle which made the
other candle fall right into the chicken salad.
Audrey laughed and gave Ray a quick kiss "You are lucky that wasn't lit..." Ray laughed "yeah
not only would we have a serious fire hazard on our hands but i would not really feel like
explaining to the police why we torched the observation deck." He was beginning to feel
horribly sorry for himself "God... I can't just be romantic for one night... "
Audrey smiled "Ray it's fine! If you had burnt down the roscoe observation deck, THEN we
would have some trouble". Kim smiled sweetly "yeah Ray it really was a sweet gesture, this
whole date is. You guys are doing a sweet thing." Robbie was a little surprised "wow Kim that
was really sweet." Kim shrugged "well you know, normally i would only be nice to you except
at school when we must hide it for the sake of our reputations. But i mean this really is a sweet
gesture" Audrey nodded in agreeance "Yea you guys, you really aren't giving youreselves
enough credit... I doubt Travis would have EVER did this for me... Ray you're really special"
Ray smiled "thanks Audrey, and Kim, you aren't anything like the Queen of Mean are you really
nice." Kim was flattered "Aw thanks Ray, i just use it as a cover up to protect my reputation.
When i treat people the way i do like that i never really mean it, but hey dont go spreading it
around." "yeah, wouldnt like it if you went all soft, your edginess is kinda sexy" Robbie replied
flirtatiously. Kim just looked at him "um thanks, i think." "would you two like to be alone?" Ray
joked. Kim giggled "i don't know if thats such a good idea right now." "what? i was serious"
Robbie chuckled "guess i should not say how i feel in so much detail." "Hey I wasn't saying you
can't act lovingly toward Kim... just make sure Aud and I aren't in the near area...." Ray
laughed. Audrey hit him slightly "come on..." Kim gave a light smile "it was sweet, just a little
too detailed." "ok come lets eat" Robbie replied trying to get off the subject of how he should
talk to his girlfriend. "Yes, let's eat" Ray said as he took out a match to light the candles.
Audrey leaned over Ray "Ummm Ray maybe I should do that..". as she took the match from
ray and lit the candles "just in case..." she kissed his cheek. "Hey anyone bring a fire
extinguisher?" Robbie joked.Ray gave a very fake laugh "very funny man..." he said as he
served food to him and Audrey, without a slip up "see? I'm not a complete disaster..." Ray said
as his sleeve took flame. Ray looked towards his arm, and completely flipped out
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm on fire HELP!!" as he got up and ran around the top of the
roscoe observation deck Audrey grabbed Ray "HOLD STILL!" she said as she hit his sleeve
with his jacket till the flame burnt out. Ray felt complete humiliation as he and his girlfriend sat
down again to eat "Thanks Audrey..." Robbie could not help but grin "that was smooth man".
"Thanks man" ray said when a deep depression hit him about his future with Audrey, or any
other girl willing to date him. Robbie noticed rays depression "hey i'm sorry man i was just
kidding" "I know man, I know" ray replied and continued with dinner, still with the thought of
screwing up again. "hey you guys going to that big highschool party on Friday night?" Kim
asked after a few minutes of complete silence. Robbie nodded "yeah i was thinking about it"
"Same, everyone is going to be there, including River Pierce..." Audrey said giving a glance to
Kim. "that pin heads going to be there?" Kim said trying not to smile. Robbie noticed her trying
not to "you dont think hes really a pin head do you?" Kim was silent. "Let Me speak for your
girlfriend, he's a total hottie, but I'm pretty sure your her number one guy" Audrey cut in.
Robbie nodded as he understood "oh ok hey thats ok, what girl does not think he's a total
hottie. "Kim smiled in relief "ok then i do happen to think he is a hottie but thats it and nothing
else." "See told you? Even Lily has the hots for him... he's like a god..." Audrey said a matter of
factly. Ray listened to Audrey go on and on about River "Well that's great... "he said sarcasticly
Audrey was trying to cheer Ray up "Ray come on, if I wanted him don't you think I would be
drooling over him instead of you right now?" Ray smiled appreciatively and lovingly at his
girlfriend "Thanks Audrey." "besides he would never go for a freshmen anyways, he would
most likely go for a senior" Kim pointed out. Robbie frowned "oh joy for me" he said
sarcastically feeling a little jealous. Kim smiled at his bit of jealousy "don't worry i'm not going
anywhere. He doesn't like me cause he thinks i'm a nark." Robbie felt relieved "lucky for me."
"Ha, this is defientely a date to remember..." Audrey said looking at Ray. He smiled feeling
happy that she was enjoying "In a good way? Bad way? Gad way?" Audrey felt confused
"Gad...?" Ray gave a light laugh "It's Good and Bad best of both worlds." "figures he'd use that
saying at least once during this very oh whats the word...... interesting date" Robbie chuckled.
Audrey looked at Ray happily "Gotta love him..." Robbie frowned "I think it would be kind of
wrong if i did" "No Kim wouldn't, wouldn't be jealous either. maybe a little grosed out to think i
was dating a non straight guy" Kim laughed. Robbie laughed "dont worry im completely
straight, i'm like Ray I love the ladies." Ray started imitation 50 cent "HA Robbie is a P-I-MP!"
Robbie just smiled "funny dude." Kim looked at her watch "oh my its almost midnight, if i dont
get home soon my dad will have a fit."
Ray also looked at his watch "Same here... in fact I'm already going to get beaten for staying
out past 11" Robbie looked at Ray "you dont get abused, well except from your brother. "
Ray rolled his eyes "yea, which I'm hoping he's out with his girlfriend..." "Is your brother Tim
brennan?" Kim asked turning to Ray. "No we just have the same looks, same last name, and
the same parents.... yea he's my brother..." Ray replied sarcastically. "oh well hes a hottie too.
sorry to seem so forward" Kim giggled before looking at Robbie "sorry just had to get that out."
Robbie smiled " its cool, lets get this stuff packed up so i can walk you home." "Have to admit
she's right" replied to Kim's comment. Ray was blowing out candles "tonight was both
awesome and irregular... my kind of date." "its the most interesting date i've ever had" Robbie
said packing the last of his stuff into his bag, "oh yeah ray Everything cool now?" raising his
eyebrows hoping ray gets the hint that robbie wants to know if he is forgiven. Ray picked up on
the hint "Yea... everythings fine..." Robbie smiled for probably the hundredth time that night:
"ok so i will see you guys tomorrow, im going to walk kim home now" Ray nodded "okay bye
man, bye Kim". "Bye" she replied back as they began walking.
Robbie started walking down the stairs from the deck heading in the direction of Kims house,
he kissed her goodnight on the corner of her street before walking home and going to bed.
