Chp.14- Graduation

AN: Here is another funtastic chapter of Field Trip 2. The Graduation is in this Chapter. O owe a big Thanks you to Crizzy4RFR for helping me by writing everything after the Clay Aiken song which is called "The Way." I don't own any of the songs in this chapter.

Today is May 28th 2007 and Lily and Travis are graduating.

Lily-"I wish our parents where back from London."

Travis-"I do too gorgeous, but there is nothing we can do about it."

Lily went upstairs to put on her Cap and Gown while Travis followed in suit.

When all of that was done Lily had a simple black dress on and Travis just had a suit and tie. Both were saving their outfits for Prom Night.

Travis-"Come on Lily lets go."

Lily-''Coming."

Travis was stunned by her beauty. She had make up on and had her hair curled too.

Travis-"Wow."

Lily-"Huh?"

Travis-"You look lovely."

He was so captivated he could barely talk. When she was right in front of him he pulled her into him and started kissing her passionaltly. Then all of a sudden Lily felt Travis tounge across her bottom lip and opened her mouth. Things where getting pretty hot and Lily decided she had better stop Travis before things went to far.

Lily-"Travis stop please."

Travis-"Sorry, I couldn't restrain myself."

Lily-"Come on we have to get to grad."

When they got there they saw a green mini van that looked a lot like the one Travis' parents own. Then they remembered their Parents where in London so they couldn't be here. They went on inside and saw something that made them totally happy...Their parents were standing right in front of them.

Lily-"Mom, Dad!"

Mrs. Randall-"Hi Darlin'."

Lily-"I thought you guys wern't gonna be here."

Mrs. Strong-"We came back this morning to surprise you guys."

Travis-"It was an awesome surprise."

Lily-"We had better go before they start Lining people up."

So they walked to the cafeteria where Mrs. Lanski was lining people up.

Mrs. Lanski-"Popawhic, Qunin, Randall, Strong,..."

Lily and Travis took their place in line and shortly after that they started to march out on to the stage. Well they had the welcoming cermony and then the class validictorian which was Robin made a quick speech. Then they all filed off the stage and got back into alphabetical order and went on stage to get their diplomas. Then once this was all done they all screamed and hollered and headed home to get ready for Prom. When they returned home Catie went over to Lily's to help her get ready. So when Catie got there Lily sat down as Catie started curling her hair for her. When she had it all curled she started to put it all up in bobbie pins to hold it in place with lots of hairspray. Then Lily did Catie's hair but Catie only wanted simple curls.

Catie-"Did Travis ever tell you why he is so defensive of you?"

Lily-"I never asked him, I might tonight though."

Catie-"Okay."

So when the girls where ready they went down stairs where Catie's, Lily's, Travis' and Robin's Parents were waiting to take pictures. Catie went down first.

Catie's Mom-"You look so pretty."

Robin slowly walks over to her and gives her a corsage and whispers in her ear how lovley she looked. While their parents snapped away pictures. Then all of sudden Lily walks down the stairs in her blue dress with her hair done and turned some heads.

Travis-"Wow."

Mrs. Randall-" You look so pretty Lilian."

Lily-"Thanks Mom."

Travis walks up to her and gives her a corsage and a kiss.

So they bombard the couples with pictures and then let them go to the prom.

Lily-"I am so excited about tonight."

Catie-"Me too."

When they get to the school Travis parks his cars and they all head to the gymnasium for the dance.

Lily-"Wow the gym looks really pretty."

Then all of a sudden "The Way" by Clay Aiken starts to play.

There's somethin' 'bout the way
You look tonight
There's somethin' 'bout the way that
I can't take my eyes off you

Travis-"Lily would you care to dance?"

Lily-"I'd loved to."

So they make their way on to the dance floor and start dancing slowly with Lily's arms around Travis's shoulders and his arms around her waist. They continue to dance like this with smiles on their faces and Lily's head on Travis's shoulder as they listen to the song come through the large stereo speakers.

There's somethin' 'bout the way your lips invite
Maybe it's the way that I get nervous when you're around

And I want you to be mine
And if you need a reason why

It's in the way that you move me
And the way that you tease me
That way that I want you tonight

It's the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
And when I can't find the right words to say
You feel it in the way
Oh, feel it in the way

Lily-"Travis you never did tell me why you are so over protective of me?"

Travis-"When Ray calls you pretty lady all the time it makes me feel like you could dump me any minuet for another guy who is better than me."

Lily-"There is no one better for me you treat me like a queen."

Somethin' 'bout how you stay on my mind
There's somethin' 'bout the way that
I whisper your name when I'm asleep, oh, girl
Maybe it's the look you get in your eyes
Oh, baby, it's the way that it makes me feel to see you smile
And the reasons they may change
But what I'm feelin' stays the same

In the way that you move me
And the way that you tease me
The way that I want you tonight (tonight)

It's in the way that you know me
And when I can't find the right words to say
You feel it in the way
Oh, feel it in the way

I can't put my fingers on just what it is that make me
Love you, you, baby
So don't ask me to decribe
I get all choked up inside
Just thinkin' 'bout the way

It's in the way that (Oh) You move me
And the way that you tease me
The way that I want you tonight (tonight)

Oh (It's in the way that)
You hold me (the way you hold me, yeah)
And the way that
You know me (the way you know me)
When I can find the right words to say (Feel it in the)
It's in the way that you move me
And the way that you tease me (feelin')
The way-ay-ay-ay-ay (feel it in the way)

There's somethin' 'bout the way you look tonight
There's nothin' more to say than I feel it in the way

The song ends and a more upbeat song starts to blast from the stereo as the atmosphere of the room changes into a large pool of post high school graduates picking up the dance pace.

When the song changes to "Let's Go" by Trick Daddy, Lily decides she could use a drink. She makes her way to the table with the refreshments and gets herself a glass of punch. Travis follows her and pours only half a cup. They both finish their drinks rather quickly.

"Would you like to go out for a breath of fresh air?" Travis asks Lily, thinking about the lump he has in his prom jacket.

"Sure."

Caitie and Robin both see the couple walking out the door from the corner of their eyes as they are joining in on their peers who are all dancing joyously now.

Lets Gooooo! (Lets Gooooo!)
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know),
I'm bout to ya straight up, Lets Gooooo! (Lets Gooooo!)
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know),
I'm bout to ya straight up, Lets Gooooo! (Lets Gooooo!)

Travis leads Lily around a couple corners to get away from the entrance of the dance and slides down against a wall, asking Lily to join him.

"So what did you really want to come out here for? I know I'm not gettiing my dress dirty out here for nothing."

"Um well..." Travis draws his mind to his left pocket.

"Sometime tonight Travis. We are missing our senior prom. I know dances aren't your thing, but come on."

Travis reaches into his pocket and out comes a little container.

He opens it and reveals a necklace that has a silver guitar on it.

"What's this?"

"Well, now that we have graduated I wanted to give you something to show you how much I care for you."

"Everytime you kiss me I know you care about me."

"I know, but this is meant to be kind of like a promise. A promise that I love you and that in the future when the time is right I'd like to have a chance at spending my life with you."

"Isn't that what a promise ring is for?"

"I think this will fit your personality better."

He hands her the necklace and tells her to look on the other side of the little silver plated guitar.

On the back is a little tiny telescope that you can barely make out and the words "You're the one star that I could never live without."

Lily is in shock.

"You even personalized it! Travis, this is the most amazing thing anyone has ever given me."

He reaches up and wipes away the single tear that falls from her eye and she lets him take hold of the necklace. He undoes the back of it gently and she moves her hair out of the way as he puts it on for her.

When the clasp closes puts the little container back in his pocket, gets off the ground, and helps Lily up too. She surprises him with a hug and then gives him a simple sweet kiss.

They then walk back to the entrance and before they walk in Lily whispers,

"I love you Travis."

"I love you more." Travis replies as he opens the door and they make their way back onto the dance floor.

A new slow song starts as Travis puts his hands back around Lily's waste and her hands go back around his shoulders.

This is a night neither of them hope to ever forget.

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track

And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon


And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

Chorus:

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

AN: This is Crizzy4RFR (Reviewchick14) here to give myself some credit. The part where Lily and Travis first start dancing and beyond is all written by me. BG4E was coming across a little block and I am on a writing spree so I helped. The last song there is by Vitamin C and is called "Graduation". Leave a review so I can read them too. Maybe make two halfs for the review, one for her half or the chapter and one for mine. Or just say your over all opinion of the chapter as usual. You decide. Don't forget to look at my updated "Unexpected" and "Rejected Love" chapters.

AN2:Check out her stories she is an amazing writer and please review!
