Disclaimer: I am sad to say that I did not create The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. But maybe if I build a time traveling machine…I could go back and create it before she did…but then again I don't want a freak accident to occur, and end up in the far future…like in The Time Machine. SO I'll just be content with what I have written.

xSummerbabyx: I LOVE Lucas!...but it was a spur of the moment kind of thing! You understand that right? I didn't want Lucas and Ella to get romantically involved with each other, but I didn't want him to already have a girlfriend…so I gave him a boyfriend. (So that Ella wouldn't be that sad!)

Ella walked into the restaurant behind Lucas, holding his had for reassurance. When they reached a table, way in the back of the room, they sat down. "James is running a little late. He's just getting back in from Toronto." Lucas said. "Oh…that's ok. I can't wait to meet him." Lucas ordered the two of them two cups of very strong coffee and another piece of chocolate cake. "Thanks again for coming." "No problem!" Ella told him again.

A man that looked to be in his mid to late twenties walked up behind Lucas and placed the piece of cake on the table. He was wearing an apron, but he wasn't their waiter. Lucas turned around and laughed, seeing his cousin. "Hey Andrew, This is Ella, the girl I told you about." "I love the cake." Ella said complimenting his baking skills. Andrew then gave them their coffee and sat down in the empty chair. "Where's James. Weren't you two supposed to be meeting tonight? Wait. You're not straight now are you?" Andrew had a look of bewilderment on his face. Lucas and Ella both laughed and then Ella spoke up. "I already tried that!" Lucas waved at a smiling James, who had just entered the building. "See, there's James. Now get up. You are in his seat."

Andrew got up and let James sit down. "I'll be right back with your usual." "Now that's taken care of," James said directing his attention to Ella. "Who the hell are you?" "Ella." Ella said sarcastically. Lucas put down his coffee and put a hand on her shoulder. "Ella is my friend. She's staying with my boss and his family. She knows. Don't worry." "Oh!" James exclaimed, leaning over and hugging Ella. "Well in that case. I'm James." Ella reached out her hand and shook his. "Again, I'm Ella." "That's a beautiful name." James stated. "My grandmother's name was Ella. She was an intolerable old woman though. Are you intolerable?" James asked. "If she were intolerable, I would not have befriended her." Lucas answered for Ella. James sighed. "So true. Are you going to ask me how Toronto was?" "How was it?" Ella asked, really wanting to know. "Well I won't be disappointed if I ever have to return..." James answered. The three continued talking and Andrew brought out another piece of cake for them all to share.

Two hours, and three more cups of coffee later, James said goodbye to Lucas and Ella. "I'll see you tomorrow morning Luke." James said. Ella walked outside to wait for Lucas. He came out a few minutes later and put an arm around her waist. "What did you think?" "He was nice. I thought he would be different. But he is cute…I have to hand that one to you." "Well Thanks Ells. I'm glad to hear that someone thinks that…" He stopped talking and stared off into the distance. Ella pieced everything together on her own. "Is that why Marcy and you haven't talked? She doesn't agree with your relationship with James." Lucas nodded. "You hit the target Ells. But it really doesn't matter. It doesn't bother me anymore. I'm living my life how I wan to live it. If I make any mistakes, then I make mistakes. That's what life is…you actually have to live! And now she's stuck up in Connecticut with the snow…living her life with her dreary husband and their perfect son…" "But those were her decisions." Ella finished. Lucas didn't say anything else as he walked Ella back home.

Anna was talking to Zach when Ella came walking into the bedroom. "I'll call you later Zach." Anna explained. "Ella! Where have you been? It's like one in the morning." "I was with Lucas." Ella told her. Anna wasn't satisfied. "And?" "And we drank coffee and ate cake. That's it." Ella lied. But it seemed to be ok with Ella. "Ok…but your mom tried to call you. You left your phone here." "Why did she need me?" Ella asked, changing into her pajamas. "Oh…she was just going to tell you that she went home with Eric for the night." Ella made a face and jumped on the bed. "Like I needed to know that! I'm tired though, so I'll see you in the morning Annabella baby." "'Night Ella Bella."

Ok so maybe I'm hooked onto this whole Lucas/Ella storyline…but I can't get off of it! lol! I'm trying to think of what to write for Esi and Holly…and Anna. But it's not coming! I'll update later! Rachel
