Chapter 4: Dinner and a Movie

(A/N: I'm such an idiot, I forgot the disclaimer in the last three chapters...Sorry guys. (Clears throat) Sadly, Travis Strong or Nathan Carter are not mine, TEAR!! So the world of RFR belongs to Canadian TV and the N, not me. I'm sorry for the confusion. Now, that the formality is out of the way, on with the story! By the way, this is in Travis's POV. )

I was right on schedule. I got home at four-thirty, plenty of time to meditate and start cooking. On the menu tonight was Tortilla Soup, one of Delilah's favorites. She had mentioned it the other day and I took note to make it tonight for her.

I had the night off tonight so she and I were scheduled to have a movie night, our Saturday night ritual for almost five months now. I had plenty of time until she got here.

I looked at my answering machine as I walked in the door and remembered Robbie's message. It was over a week ago that I had received it and had yet to return it.

I picked up the phone and dialed his number.

"Hello?"

"Robbie, its Travis."

"Travis, wow man, welcome back from the dead."

"No, I've just been really busy with work."

"So how's it going, City Boy? Tell me everything."

"Work is good. I'm the sixth grade teacher for now, but next year I'll be in kindergarten."
"Any ladies?" He prodded. He'll never change.

"No, a few friends, but nothing big. What about you?"

"No, it's a rare moment for me. There's nobody in the picture for the moment."
"Listen, Rob, I've got to start dinner. I'll call you in a few days, okay?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll talk to you then."

"Tell everyone I said hi."

"Will do."

We both hung up the phone and I started working on the soup.

True to her word, she was at the door right at six o'clock, with movies in hand.

"I brought two; Lost in Translation and Under the Tuscan Sun."

"Sounds great. Come on it, dinner is ready."

So we sat down and ate dinner, then put in Under the Tuscan Sun.

I saw her looking at my pictures on the side table of Ray, Robbie, Lily and me, while we were all back in the days of RFR.

"Who are these guys?"
"My friends from high school. That's Robbie, Ray, and that's Lily." I felt a pain in my chest looking at her picture. Then, I told her all about Roscoe High and about Radio Free Roscoe.

It felt great to finally have someone to talk to again. I knew then that this was the beginning of a great friendship. I knew that she was the first person here that I could trust.

(A/N: Hey Peoples in Fanfiction land! Thanks again for reading, I'll post another in a few days, if anyone is actually reading this. I know one person is, and to Shady199, stay safe from the hurricane, it'll all be over soon. Thanks for being my first loyal reader. To everyone else, I'm still up to making some virtual sweets for everyone who reviews. Thanks!!)
