Rating: T all the time.
Genre: Romance, Drama, and involves some Humour.
Disclaimer: I don't own any character descended from the TV show! And I'm not earning money by writing fanfictions about it!
A/N: Sorry for the wait, I had a little writer's block…lol! And thanks for the great reviews coming from FrostySnake, ShalBrenfan, 2008ccampbell, Queen of Shadows, mary-023, GothicShelby and Melm213! Enjoy this chap because I don't know when you'll see the next one…
Info: Scott and Shelby made up during the last chapter. So, they're back together but in secret. Juliet and Auggie aren't together anymore since almost two years. Juliet is going out with Chris; Auggie is single. Daisy's boyfriend is Marco (Chris's twin). And David is with Melody, a ridgerunner, better friend with the cliffhangers than with her own group.
Characters: All the original students of the show, except Kat… And new characters that I own:
Marco: He landed up at Horizon with his twin-brother Chris after the death of their loving mother who was working in one of the Twin Towers of New-York. He did drugs to mask his pain and forget everything around. Their father is a rich businessman who didn't have time to deal with them.
Chris: Same history as Marco. Except he didn't do drugs; he was a cutter.
Melody: She had a physical abusing alcoholic mother, who died of an overdose. She ran away from her father's house because she felt like a stranger in his family. Complicated story because when her parents had her, his father had already a wife...
Chapter 6: Love, Fun & Games
Part One
The others walked ahead happily, enjoying their time there. "Come on Shel! Nobody will notice we're gone!" Scott supplied her with a puppy look. She smiled and discreetly leaned over his face, her lips almost touching his cheek.
"Are you having a hard time dealing with your hormones, Mister Barringer?" She whispered into his ear with a sexy voice. He blushed a bit and looked around, hoping nobody had seen them flirting together.
"That's not funny."
"Oh, come on…I waited almost six months for you to tell me you wanted us to get back together…you can wait a bit more."
"Please…I'd do anything after!"
"Okay, come with me." She agreed, taking his hand and leading him to a spot surrounded by big trees. The others didn't notice a thing, too absorbed by the roller coaster that was going in front of their eyes. "I can't believe you're making me doing this here."
"Oh, stop complaining. You want it as much as I do." He said pulling her against the tree and bringing his face closer to hers, their lips almost touching. "Beside, they won't see anything, we're hidden by trees." He whispered softly kissing her lips. It was just an innocent kiss, their tongues weren't even touching. Shelby resisted the very urge to open her mouth and kiss him passionately. It was neither the time, nor the right place. Scott broke the kiss a bit disappointed. "What is it? Do I disgust you or something?"
"Shut up. I kissed you. Now come on or we're going to have to line up twice."
"Oh, you're not fun!" He whined taking her hand in his again.
"I promise I'll be funnier when we'll be home."
"Good…" Scott smiled and they walked back to the spot where the group was standing.
"Hey, where were you two?" Daisy asked as they joined them at the attraction. Shelby smiled a bit but didn't answer, not knowing what to say.
"Someone asked us the way to go out of this tunnel. They were Russian and didn't talk good English…so we tried talking to them in Spanish. But they were even worse!" Scott said quickly. He had planned everything in case of someone asked them something about their disappearance.
"Oh…" Daisy said disappointed by his answer. She had started to think the two blondes had been going back together.
"Okay, are you guys sure you want to do this?" Marco eventually asked before it was too late for them to back up.
"Finally…I don't want to go." Daisy said unsurely.
"Oh, come on…they even accept children here! Get a hold of yourself." Scott said with a grin. "It's funny, you'll see. Look at them, they enjoy it a lot. Don't you hear people laughing?"
"I hear them yelling, screaming, everything but not laughing."
"Come on a big part happens to be in the dark." Marco said, forcing her ahead.
"Are you crazy? I won't ever go into this tunnel, especially if we're in the dark! This is pure suicide!" She protested as her boyfriend was trying to drag her to the big attraction.
"Marco, don't force her…I'll stay with her if you want?" Shelby proposed smiling at the couple…those two, they were too funny sometimes.
"Okay, but you two stay here; like that we won't lose you when we've finished." Marco agreed, giving his girlfriend a quick kiss.
"Be careful." Daisy said nervously. ""I am so afraid the train's going to stop in top of the mountains. I read on a newspaper that it had happened in another park last week…did anyone hear of this?" She continued, and turned to Melody as she spoke up.
"No, we didn't. And relax please…nothing will happen."
"You don't know that." David intervened, sending Daisy a worried smile.
"Shut up, she's going to have a heart attack if you continue telling things like those." Scott said then added. "Come on guys, we have to line up, either way we're not ready to go on the train…"
"Okay. See you two later." Marco said giving Daisy another kiss. Scott winked discreetly at Shelby and she responded with a sexy smile.
The guys and Melody entered the tower leaving the two girls outside. Daisy and Shelby sat on a bench in the sunshine and Daisy sighed, turning to her best friend.
"So, tell me now…what happened this morning after I left your room?"
"Why are you so curious about it?" Shelby asked with a laugh. Daisy was so… unforeseeable!
"Only because I noticed something different in both your behaviors."
"Well, we are giving our couple a second chance. But Scott doesn't want anybody to know for the moment."
"Why that?"
"Because he wants to take his time."
"Oh…so I'm not supposed to know?"
"No, and you better not tell anyone, not even Marco. Because if you do, you're dead."
"Oh, is that a threat?"
"More like a promise." Daisy smirked at her. "Come on Dais!" She whined, crossing her hands in pity in front of her.
You know I won't. Promised."
"Thanks, you're definitively the best!"
"Yeah, I know…"
Part Two
"Wow! That day was fantastic! You missed a real good thing Ez!" Scott said taking his empty bottle of water from his bag and putting it on the kitchen counter. "I'm so thirsty, it was so hot today!"
"Daisy, I think you're going to have sunburns." Melody stated, sitting next to the other girls at the table. Daisy just shrugged, not giving a damn about her comment.
"What do you guys think about eating some food? I don't know about you, but I'm starving." Shelby asked looking at Scott as he sat down beside her.
"Yeah, it's strange the effect that those activities do to me. It gives me so much appetite!" Melody agreed, getting up and taking David's hand. "Come on, we should find a fast-food without too much difficulties."
"A fast-food? Why not doing something ourselves? I'm tired of eating hamburgers, you see?" Juliet said with a childish voice that made Shelby laughing.
"She's right, since we're here, that's all we eat…chips and hamburgers." Shelby agreed, putting her elbows on the table and her head between her palms of hands.
"Yeah, you two are right. So, what do we have on menu?" Marco asked Daisy who was looking inside the fridge.
"What about a salad?" She suggested with a smile.
"Yeah…why not?" Juliet said agreeing to her friend's choice.
"Anything, as long as it's quick!" David said impatiently.
"Okay, then it's settled; salad. Come on Dais, we're gonna do it." Auggie said ready to give her help. It was their turn of 'duty' tonight.
"Well, I'm gonna take a shower while you do that. I don't know about you, but I'm so sweaty, it's disgusting!" Shelby announced getting up and leaving the kitchen. Scott resisted the very urge to follow her to her room and got up, ready to help Daisy and Auggie who were already taking charge of the diner. That took them three about ten minutes to have it finished and Daisy sent Scott searching for Shelby while the others set the table. She smiled as the confused look he gave her and winked at him knowingly. Scott couldn't believe it but left shrugging.
"Shel, baby, it's me." Scott whispered against her bedroom door. "Are you ready? Because diner is."
"Yeah, I'm coming out, two minutes! You can enter if you want?" She suggested seductively, a bit excited. Scott opened the door and found his beautiful lover wrapped in only a small towel. It appeared that she had just gone out of the bathroom, seeing as the steaming was still escaping from there. Shelby bit her lip softly as she noticed Scott scanning her body. She slowly walked towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck while he wrapped his around her thin waist. "Sorry, I'm far from presentable in this outfit…" She admitted with a chuckle.
"Uh…no, I mean…you, you look nice." He stuttered dazedly, his eyes fixed on her humid cleavage. Shelby titled his chin up, gave him a sweet kiss, and looked into his gorgeous blue eyes.
"I couldn't wait anymore…you don't know how long I waited for that kiss…"
"Oh yes, I do." He grinned at her, releasing his grip. "Now dress up, either way, the other will suspect something going on between us."
"They'd be right."
"Yeah, well that's enough that Daisy does…she's not the most discreet person I know."
"How do you know that she does? Did she say something?" She asked with a frown.
"No, but she's the one who sent me here. And she winked at me when I left."
"Sorry, I just couldn't keep that from her, she's too impossible, you know that." She apologized sitting at the edge of her unmade bed.
"Yeah, I know and I'm not mad at you."
"Good."
"Um, um…" Scott sat next to her on the bed and kissed the base of her neck, sending chills to her back. She mumbled his name but stopped him as he went further down to her shoulders.
"We'll develop this tonight, honey." She took her clothes into her hands and went to the bathroom to change. She was still a bit timid about showing her naked body to him. But Scott followed her and stood by the closed door.
"Honey?" Scott asked surprised. "Where does that nickname come from?"
"You don't like it? I think it's cute."
"Cute?"
"Ah!" Shelby yelled suddenly as she was about to put her pants. "Scott, could you enter please; there's a spider in the washbasin." She quickly demanded before he could even ask her if she was okay.
"You sure? What if it kills me?" He said through the door, slightly mocking her phobia.
"Funny! Come on, it's moving!" She pressed him, feeling in imminent danger.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming in!" He entered quickly and checked her out. "Nice underwear by the way." Shelby shoved him a bit, chuckling nervously. "Hey! That hurts badly!" Scott said with a laugh. He looked back at the washbasin. "Where is the monster? I don't see a thing."
"There! On the faucet!" She said pointing to the little black insect.
"You called me for that ridiculously tiny thing?"
"Yeah, kill it."
"Shit Shel, you're going a bit too far here!" Scott took the spider into his hand and approached it to Shelby's eyes. She let out a scream and ran out of the bathroom panicked. Scott laughed at her and went to see if she was alright, carefully drowning the spider before. She was sitting arms crossed on her bed, sulking. "Shel, come on, it was only a joke…" He sat next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "I'm sorry." He gently said, kissing her forehead lovingly.
"I know it's childish and stupid, I just can't help it." She explained, resting her head on his strong chest.
"It's okay…it's just you look like Juliet when you're acting this way."
"I know. I'm sorry." She shivered a bit and went to take her clothes from the bathroom. She quickly pulled on a pair of jeans and a black tank top that showed a small cleavage that drove Scott crazy. "Scott?" Shelby asked softly biting her bottom lip in anticipation, afraid he wouldn't agree to her proposition.
"Yeah baby. What is it? You look…I don't know…worried maybe?" He asked with a cute smile.
"Yes. Um, what would you think about telling the others about us?"
------------------------
"It's taking the two blondes an awful long time, don't you think?" Melody asked Daisy as they were in the kitchen, tidying the counters a bit.
"You know Shel…it's always taking her a while to be ready…"
"Yeah, I guess…or they're taking a good time together…"
"You really only think about sex, uh?"
"Well, when you have a boyfriend as hot as David, you know why."
"No. I think that you have a problem. Maybe he doesn't satisfy your needs like he should?"
"Shut up! You don't know anything. Besides David's the best screw I ever had."
"Yeah right…"
"You know something I don't know about the two S, don't you?" Melody finally whispered to her. "I saw you forcing Scott to go searching for Shelby and even winking at him.
"Maybe…"
"Tell me!"
"No, I made a promise."
"Okay, then I'll guess. You answer with a nod of your head. They slept together last night?" Daisy shook her head softly.
"I can't say they did…well not really."
"How come?" Melody asked curiously. That girl, sometimes she was more annoying than Daisy, herself.
"Well, they spent the night together in Shelby's bed but nothing happened."
"What do you mean by 'nothing happened'? They were in the same bed and…nothing?"
"Yeah, that's it."
"Impossible. Or they're both gay. I mean, they're supposedly in love with each other, Scott is hot, Shel is pretty…and they're young and without supervision. And nothing happens?"
"Yeah, well that's what she told me…I wasn't there with her. But I don't see what's wrong with sleeping in the same bed without having an intercourse?"
"I'm sorry Daisy, but if that's what happens with Marco, I think you should be careful. Or you'll lose him when he'll go see elsewhere." She warned her with a smirk. "Plus, he's hot. He won't have difficulties replacing you."
"Shut up. It's not because I don't make love with him every nights that we're about to break up."
"Yeah sure, but you're only eighteen Daisy. And you two already look like an old married couple. I don't even want to imagine how you'll be at fifty."
"Well, I can imagine you in ten years. Alone, without a boyfriend, having sex with unknown guys every night and living in a hotel."
"Are you calling me a prostitute because I love having sex with my boyfriend? How can you be so uptight?"
"Me? Uptight?"
"Yeah, you consider sex shouldn't be a pleasure."
"I'm not considering sex like a punishment. I just think that love and sex are two different things."
"That's where is the problem Daisy. Love and sex are bound together. You can't have love without sex and vice versa."
"That's where you're wrong my dear. Prostitutes have sex without love. And I think the contrary is al-"
"Sorry to interrupt you two, but we're hearing you from the living room. Could you just keep your voices down, or even come with the food. Some of us are actually hungry." Chris said narrowing his eyes at them. "Don't be surprised if your boyfriend is mad at you, Dais. We heard everything. Even about Scott and Shel."
"Holly shit!" Melody muttered. "You're going to suffer tonight." She said to Daisy, nudging her. "Prepare your defense my dear, you'll need it."
"I'm so dead…" Daisy walked behind Melody ready to see Shelby attacking her but nothing happened. In fact, she wasn't even there, neither was Scott. "Where are-" Ezra interrupted her.
"Shel and Scott? They're still in her room. You're lucky about this one. The only thing is that everyone knows about them now…" Daisy let out a breath at the same time Scott and Shelby appeared in the front door, fingers intertwined together.
"Uh, guys, we have something we need to say to you all." Scott announced shyly. "We're, uh-"
"Yeah, yeah, we already know about you two…overheard Daisy talking to Mel, sorry for the surprise." Ezra interrupted him quickly. "Congratulations, you finally had the guts!"
"Thanks Dais, for keeping it a secret." Shelby said sarcastically, but she showed no madness. She actually was too happy for that. She gave Scott a quick kiss as he was about to say something mean to Daisy. She knew him too well.
"And of course, nothing changed." David began sighing. "They still need to prove their love in front of us by doing touchy things. Next stage, they'll have sex here, on the sofa."
"Real funny David." Scott said, narrowing his eyes at him. It was only a kiss and he knew Shelby loved displaying her affection to him in public.
"Well, are we going to eat or what?" Auggie finally asked sitting at the table, waiting impatiently.
"Yeah, yeah…" David muttered sitting down next to him, and taking the salad bowl between his hands without waiting for the others to sit too.
"Yeah, certain things won't ever change." Daisy said smirking at him. "Like politeness, for example."
TBC…
Sorry about Disney Land. First of all, I don't know how the Florida Park is. I only know the one from Paris, and it's been almost three years I didn't go there. Second of all, I didn't want to develop a whole chapter about their day there.
Well, tell me what you think of this chapter in a review. I know some of you were waiting impatiently for this chapter (weren't you mary-023?)
I'll try to update ASAP…but with school coming back and everything I don't know when I'll find the time to write…
Next chapter will probably be called: Family Troubles
About my stories updates: I'll try to update at least one story per week. I don't know if I'll be able to do it each week, but I promise that I'll do my best. I hope you understand. I am entering in my second year of college and they say it's more difficult than the first one…I guess we'll see…
See you soon, Linkie.
