Aly, AJ, and Travis were having dinner at one of the Tipton's four star restaurants.

"So what do you guys like to do? You know. Besides play music and act."

"That's basically it. We like to do regular teen things. We're completely normal."

"Besides the being famous part." Travis said.
"Exactly." Aly said. They all laughed. Moments later, the maitre d', Patrick, came and gave them their check. Aly & AJ of course offered to pay, but Travis wouldn't allow it.

"Thanks for taking care of the check." Aly said, as they reached the stars' suite.

"No prob. Hey before I leave, do you guys want to go to the movies with me and my friend, Maddie, tomorrow? It'd be a lot of fun." Travis asked.

"Sure." AJ said.

"Yeah, that'd be great." Aly said. She smiled at Travis.

"Um, cool. That's cool. I'll tell Maddie. See ya tomorrow, then." Travis said. He headed back to the elevator and went down to the lobby. Luckily, Maddie was still on her shift.

"Hey Maddie."

"Oh, hey Ty. What's up?" Maddie said turning from the shelves of candy.

"Nothing. I just got back from hanging with Aly and AJ."

"Cool. What was that like?"

"Like hanging out with you." Maddie smiled at this comment. They'd made eye contact for the first time in this very short conversation. She and Travis had a very short history together. Well, one kiss, but who cares. Maddie refused that kind of relationship though.

"So we still on for the movies tomorrow?" Maddie said, breaking eye contact and turning back to the shelves.

"Um, yeah. I, uh, actually invited Aly and AJ to the movies with us. I hope you don't mind."

"No, not at all."

" Cool. Well, I better get up stairs. I have a little math homework to do. See ya at school."

"Yeah. See ya." Maddie said.

Travis made it just in time to catch the bus. He didn't know why the bus driver didn't wait an extra minute. He knew Travis was always late.

"Sup man?" asked Travis's friend Darryl, as Travis sat down.

"Nothin' much."

"Dude, it's all over town that Aly and AJ are staying at the Tipton. Is it true?"

"Yes. They're actually going to the movies with me and Maddie tonight. But keep that to your self."

"Wrong move man." Darryl said shaking his head.

"What?" Travis said incredulously. Darryl sighed.

"Clueless. Do you want to go out with Maddie?"

"Yeah. No. I don't know. I mean… Well. Keep this to yourself."

"OK. OK. Mum's the word." Darryl said, his hands up like the cops were after him.

"I've sorta, kinda got a thing for Alyson."

"Alyson?"

"Aly."

"Oh. Well, so does every other guy in the universe. Get in line."

"No. Not because she's famous. Because she's an all around cool person. She likes to play guitar."

"Figures."

"Laguna Beach, video games-"

"Whoa, wait a minute. Video games! She likes video games! Whoa. I'm loving her more for her personality."

"Back off. Anyway that's only a few things."

"Well. What about Maddie?"

"What about her? She said she only wants to be friends and I respect that." Travis said.

"Whatever dude. Look, you know you still have at least some leftover feelings for her. And after that kiss," Darryl chuckled, "she probably has feelings for you, too. Did she seem a little disappointed when you told her?"

"I guess. Just a little."

"Man, you're screwed."

The bus came to a stop and Darryl and Travis got off. They continued their conversation, until Maddie walked up.

"Hey guys."

"Hey Maddie. What's up?" Travis said.

"Well. Travis, I can't go to the movies tonight." Maddie said.

"What? Why not?"

"I have to stay home and watch my sister. Sorry. But, hey, at least Aly and AJ will be with you." Maddie said. She looked kind of disappointed.

"Yeah. Um, we should head to our lockers." Travis said, hiding his sorrow. He felt a sudden pang at his heart. He walked behind Darryl and Maddie at a pretty slow pace, trying to figure out what had just happened. Maddie had cancelled on him. But wait a minute. Why did he even care?

Maddie took a taxi to the Tipton and Travis went straight to the basketball court at the park a couple blocks off. It was what he did when he was depressed. He joined in a game. Shirts vs. Skins. He was on skins, which meant he had to take off his shirt. That left him in his shoes and pants. He'd been playing for an hour when a car pulled up by the court.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Who's that?" said one of the guys on the opposite team. All the rest of the guys stopped playing leaving the ball in Travis's hands.

"Guys! Come on! Is it that important?" Travis asked. He dropped the ball when he got no response. He pushed his way through the boys to find Aly and AJ. He looked really surprised.

"Hey Travis." Aly said.

"Hey. Hey. What's up?" Travis said realizing he wasn't daydreaming.

"Nothing. We were driving around town. You need a ride back to the hotel. Your shift should start soon. Shouldn't it?" AJ said.

"Huh" Travis checked his watch. He was about 20 minutes from the hotel and his shift started in about 10 minutes. "Yeah in 10 minutes."

"Come on, then." Aly said. Travis ran back and grabbed his shirt and bag. He got in the car and sat between the girls. Aly giggled at the sight of him with no shirt. His body glistened with sweat.

He put on his under shirt on the way to the hotel. They had some weird conversations about things like food. When they got to the hotel, Travis put on his uniform shirt and walked into the hotel with the girls.

Travis reached Aly and AJ's suite a couple minutes after seven. He knocked on the door. Afterwards, he leaned against the wall waiting for the door to open. Several moments later, AJ opened the door. Travis walked in.

"So, you guys ready?" Travis asked.

"Actually, I'm feeling a little under the weather. It looks like it will only be you, Aly, and Maddie." AJ said. Aly glared at her sister.

"Actually it'll only be Aly and me. Maddie has to watch her little sister."

"Oh. Well, you two have fun. Bye." AJ said. She walked to the bedroom and closed the door.

"So, shall we go?" Travis said. He and Aly looking at the bedroom door perplexed.

"We shall." Aly said, making eye contact with Travis. They walked out the suite and headed to the lobby. When they got there, Travis took quick glance toward the candy counter. No one was there. Maddie was telling the truth. He and Aly then walked toward the parking lot.

"Parking space number 17." Travis said to the valet.

"You have your own parking space?" Aly asked.

"Yeah. I do work and live here." Travis answered.

"Very true." Aly said. They both laughed. The laughter echoed through the parking lot. Then there was silence, until the two teens could hear the car coming toward them. The car was a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder with blue flames on the sides.

"Nice, right?" Travis asked, looking at Aly's expression.

"Yeah. Wow."

"It took three years of baby-sitting money and I put the flames on myself." Travis said as he jumped over the car's frame into the driver's seat. He then put on a pair of shades.

"Are you coming or am I going to the movie alone?" Aly then got in the car.

"OK. Let's go." Travis put the car in drive and then sped out of the parking lot.

I'm not sure if I should've come, Aly thought.

"Now that movie was hilarious." Travis said as him and Aly walked to her suite. The two of them had just gone to see Rumor Has It.

"Yeah it was." Aly said. They were finally at the suite. They stopped in front of the suite.

"So here we are." Travis said.

"Yeah." There was a moment of silence.

"I had fun." the two said at the same time. They laughed. They were both pretty nervous. Travis then moved in and kissed Aly. Aly put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. They kept this going for a few seconds.

"Um, I gotta go. My mom's gonna freak if I'm not back at my suite in about five minutes.

"Yeah. So I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah. Bye." Travis walked off and Aly went into her suite to find her sister waiting to hear all the details.

Author Note: Totally had to put Maddie back into circulation. Also Darryl. Friendships and Relationships. That's what it's all about. Sometimes it will take me some time to update, because of school. So, don't worry. More stuff will come.
