A/N: Just so everyone knows, I'm on a dance team and most of them aren't like that. My captain is just psychotic so I wanted to bring a little of her into Brittany :) Hope you like it so far. Thanks soo much for all the reviews, they make my day!


Emily sat looking out at the ocean in a daze. She was disrupted by the alarm on her watch, ringing 6:45AM. I've been here for almost an hour, she thought. She loved going to this spot, especially when she needed to think and this occasion wasn't any different. Yesterday had been hell on earth and she had the sore muscles to prove it, but it wasn't the intense dancing that brought her to what she named overlook rock, it was Callie. How could I have believed her act about being nice? I should know better than that, I mean after what she did to… Her thoughts were interpreted once again, this time by someone she didn't expect.

"Hi" a quiet voice said. She recognized it immediately.

"Bradin, what are you doing here?" Emily replied, eyes still on the rising sun ahead

"I come up here to think, when I first got here I got mad, drunk and I came up here, I've been coming ever since." He replied "and I have no idea why I just told you that"

She laughed. "I guess we share the same feeling. I come up here to think too. Though not many people are around here at 6AM, I'm usually all alone"

"I can leave if you want; I just came here to think through some stuff. I can come back."

"No, I have to go. I've been here for like an hour anyway, I don't think I can think anymore" She got up and rolled her eyes "I need more sleep."

Bradin laughed. "Hey, about last night, Callie was just caught off guard; she didn't mean to be so rude. She felt really bad."

"I'm used to it, I don't even care anymore and as much as I would love to marvel at the fact your girlfriend is obnoxious, I have to go, I missed an entire day of choreographing at the theatre yesterday that I need to make up and I have to meet the team for lunch. See ya" And with that she walked off toward the road. Bradin heard a car turn on and speed away.

Bradin sat there in shock. Did she actually just say that? He thought, it didn't seem like something the girl he had gotten to know would say. She's just tired, he told himself, but he couldn't shake a feeling that something was odd about Emily; something he hoped wouldn't ruin his friendship with Lucas or his relationship with Callie.


Lucas walked into Playa Linda Theatre. He smiled as he saw Emily standing in the middle of the stage, with a bunch of kids around her.

"Emmy, Emmy, Look. A Boy!" A little girl yelled, pointing to Lucas.

Emily laughed and made her way to the edge of the stage. "Hey sweetie" she said and kissed him, much to the dismay of the children behind her, a round of "EW's" followed. "What?" she replied "you don't like my boyfriend?"

"I like him" another girl said giggling

"I don't twust him" a little boy slurred

"Well then I'll just have to dump him then won't I?" She replied looking at the little boy. "After all his friends aren't very nice to me" she winked causing him to smile as she turned back to Lucas

"What the h…"

"Don't finish that sentence, little ears Lucas. You guys can take a little break; I'll be back in a few minutes." She grabbed Lucas' hand and lead him onto the stage and into one of the back rooms. "What's up?" she said as she sat in one of the chairs.

"First, what were you talking about how my friends aren't nice to you? You've only met Bradin and Callie and they loved you."

"No, not really" She replied smoothly, "Callie indirectly called me spoiled last night when I told her where I lived, I thought she had…" her sentence was interrupted by a screech coming from the direction of the stage. She got up and ran out the door, Lucas right behind her. She stopped running when she entered the stage.

"God Damn" she muttered under her breath. "Hi Brittany" she said in a perky manner. "What are you doing here?" Lucas arrived by her side.

"Well, we were wondering why you were late for lunch, so we decided to come get you" she replied as she signaled to the other 10 people with her.

"I told you I had to work till noon, its only 11:30" she said, looking at her watch

"Oh, really? I must have forgot" She said staring at Lucas with a seductive look "we'll wait then"

"For a half hour? Why don't you go do something and I'll meet you there at noon. I won't be late, I promise"

"No, its ok, I'll just stay here with your friend" she said signaling at Lucas

"Boyfriend" Lucas corrected, looking at Brittany.

"So you're the infamous Lucas. I'm Brittany, I'm sure Emmy's told you about me." She smiled with a smug look.

"Yea" he responded "she's told me all about you" Emily elbowed him in the ribs

"As fun as this is, I have to get back to work and these are closed rehersals. Y'all need to leave."

"Fine" Brittany responded "Noon sharp Emily, if you don't want another afternoon like yesterday" She shot her an evil glace and Emily nodded. How much she hated Brittany, words could not express.

"I gotta meet Bradin at the Beach. I'll call you later" He kissed her on the forehead and walked off the stage up the isle with Brittany and company a step behind.


Lucas walked out of the theatre and onto the pathway that lead Main Street. He felt a warm hand grab his shoulder; he turned around to see Brittany.

"Its funny don't you think, that when she could have called her work yesterday to say she would be able to make it, she called you instead. I find that quite quizzical" She looked Lucas in the eyes.

"She is my girlfriend" He gave her a matching glance.

"You're lucky I think you're cute. If I didn't like you I could make Emmy's life miserable." She turned and walked away, the group of girls a step behind her.

Lucas turned and walked back down the path with both Emily and Brittany on his mind. Now he had two issues to deal with.

A/N- Sry this chapter is kinda bad, I had a bad case of writers block. The next ones will be better, I promise!
