A/N: More tomorrow...I hope.

After trying on at least ten different outfits, Lily opted for the first one she had tried on to begin with. She twirled in front of the mirror, admiring her new skirt. Not bad, she thought as she twirled around and gave the mirror a wink. I think I'll go with damn hot, she smiled, then tried out a seductive look. After she dabbed a little more lip gloss on, she was satisfied.

The doorbell rang at seven o clock sharp. Lily rushed down to greet River before her parents had a chance to get to the door. She had told them she would be staying at Parker's house for the night so she wouldn't have to go through any embarrassing date-meet-the-parents ordeal. Nor would she have to worry about an even more embarrassing curfew.

She opened the door quickly and walked out before River had a chance to invite himself in. "Let's go," she said " I don't want to be late."

" You're looking lovely tonight," he said with a twinkle in his eye as he took her hand and lead her to his car. "We're hardly late," he added and wondered why she seemed to be in such a hurry.

" I want to get a good seat," she said, as if that explained everything. "And thanks, you don't look bad yourself," she smiled, feeling as if nothing could stop her now. She couldn't wait for Travis to see her with her "date". It sure as hell beat his. She suddenly felt sick for the thoughts that had just ran through her mind. Parker was worth a million Rivers and she knew it.

Cool air hit Lily's face as she walked inside the theater. She was grateful for it because she suddenly felt nervous. What if they didn't "run into" Parker and Travis? Then again, what if they did?

She didn't have to wonder long as she spotted them both waiting in line for popcorn. She turned to River, any doubts gone as she saw them together. " I'm thirsty," she said.

" Well, let's get the lady a drink," River answered as he took her hand and lead her to the concession stand.

" Parker?" Lily called in an unsure voice. Parker turned and Lily put on a fake smile " It is you!" she exclaimed. " And Travis. What a surprise," she said, hoping that Parker wouldn't say anything about the fact that Lily already knew they would be there.

" Lily," Parker smiled back "And..River Pierce?" she added genuinely confused.

" Hey Lil...," Travis started but trailed off as he noticed River. They looked odd together, and he felt like there was a big joke being played on him. Lily would burst out laughing any second now and roll her eyes. She would ask him if he really had believed that she was with River. Travis waited but Lily never laughed. In fact, he could see anger flashing in her eyes when she spoke to him.

Lily smiled to herself, knowing that she had caught Travis off guard. She didn't know if he was surprised to see her with someone else or if he hadn't planned on getting caught. Either way, she was enjoying herself.

Parker felt nervous, though she wasn't quite sure what was bothering her the most. She was finally alone with Travis, but seeing Lily with River just didn't seem right. She hated River and hated the way that he looked at Lily. " Let's go get our seats," she said to Travis. " This line is so long and I don't want to miss the trailers."

" That's fine with me," Travis answered, clearing his throat. " It was nice to see you Lily," he said, forcing the words out. " You too, River."

Yes," River said, obviously disinterested. " Why don't you two go have some fun." He pulled Lily to his side " I'm sure that we will."

Travis stopped the glare before it reached his eyes " You go do that," he said but looked at Lily instead of River. He took Parker's arm and began to walk away with her.

" I'll talk to you later, Randi," Parker said in a serious tone that was very unlike her. The comfort of Travis by her side almost took the anger and shock away but not quite.

" You never know who you're going to run in to," Lily smiled after Travis and Parker are out of sight.

" I guess not," River replied. " I'm just glad that they didn't ask us to sit with them," he said as if it would be the worst thing in the world.
