A/N: So sorry I wasn't here for awhile! School has started and….ugh. Well, I knew that I had to get this chapter out. I just had to. Because it's fun! I got this out just for Emma. Yay! Hope you enjoy! Oh, and I mentioned before that Abbie was going to be all angsty later on, but I changed my mind. So, expect the nice fluffy fun stuff with twists in the story! This takes place a week after the last chapter did

"THANK HOLY GOD IT'S SATURDAY!" Emma screamed, falling to her knees in the grass.

"Holy God? Isn't that really….well, redundant?" Abbie asked.

"Just shut up for once, bookworm. IT'S SATURDAY!" Teddy exclaimed, mimicking Emma.

"It only works when I fall into the grass, you wet end," Emma said arrogantly, smirking down at Teddy.

"It's amazing how those two are so much alike, but Emma hates him," Shawn whispered to Gordie.

"You're telling me!" he replied.

The whole gang had decided to take a walk, and they had found themselves a field. The week had been rough on them all, especially Chris and Vern, because of all of the work for Chris, and Vern just wasn't the brightest in the bunch. Catie reached down and held out her hand for Teddy to take. He instantly grabbed it and she pulled him up, then he laid a kiss on her hand.

"Thank you, mademoiselle," Teddy praised, almost actually pulling off the foe French accent. Catie laughed, and Emma narrowed her eyes at her. There was still tension between the two…….they mostly avoided each other when they could.

"God, it is so damn hot out here!" Cammie exclaimed, fanning herself.

"We need to cool off," Abbie agreed.

"Hey! There's a lake by the tree house! Water will cool us off!" Vern said excitedly.

The whole group turned to look at him.

"Wha…what? What is it?" Vern asked after he looked at the expressions on everyone's faces.

"Just taking more notice to your incredible stupidity is all," Emma said, causing everyone to laugh.

"And I'm taking more notice to how beautiful you are," Teddy stated.

"Not now, Teddy," Emma replied, annoyed.

"Yeah Teddy, save it for the honeymoon!" Chris teased, earning him a slap on the arm from Emma.

"So, swimming in the lake it is? In two hours?" Cammie asked.

The whole group let out cheers of agreement and started running off in different directions.

"Hey, Abbie!" Gordie called just as she was turning around to run.

"Yes?"

"I was wondering…..you know that we have a test on Monday, right? Well, do you want to come over and study at my house tomorrow? With Chris and me?" Gordie questioned.

"Sure!" Abbie exclaimed.

Gordie smiled and said, "Boss!"

The two stared at each other for a moment, but then set off in opposite directions.

"Abbie!"

"Ugh, what now, Gordie?"

"Uhh…..it's Chris."

Abbie swung back around and saw Chris smiling at her.

"If it's about tomorrow, I'm already coming. Alright, now I'm off!" Abbie yelled.

"Wait!" Chris exclaimed, grabbing her arm, "I was wondering that since we have two hours……do you want to get something to eat at The Blue Point with me?"

"Oh sure…..tell the others we'll meet them there," Abbie ordered.

"No."

Abbie looked at him with a strange expression. "No? What do you mean, no?"

"I meant just us two!" Chris answered in a frustrated tone.

Abbie's mood changed dramatically. "Oh! Umm…..that sounds great!"

Chris gave her a smile and held out his arm, "Shall we?"

"Yes, we shall," she replied, giving him an identical smile and taking his arm, "Lead the way, good knight."

"Of course, fair maiden."

Not a very long walk at all, the two soon came up to a nice-sized restaurant. Chris reached out and pulled the glass door open for her.

"Thanks."

"No problem," he replied, following her to a booth.

They sat opposite each other and a waitress with a yellow dress and thick pink glasses strolled over.

"What would you like?"

"Uhh…..a coke and a cheeseburger," Chris told her.

"I would like…..an order of fries, a cheeseburger, some chips on the side, and…..a diet coke," Abbie said as she handed the waitress her and Chris' menus.

As the waitress turned around and walked away, Chris cocked an eyebrow at Abbie.

Sensing his gaze, she looked up.

"What? I'm hungry!" she cried.

He gave her a genuine smile and looked out the window. The two remained silent and received their drinks a few minutes later.

"You know, I'm glad you came to Castle Rock," Chris said casually.

"You are?" Abbie asked, amazed.

"Yeah! Me and Gordie and Teddy and the others…..we're all really happy you came."

"I'm glad I came too," Abbie told him.

"Why?" he asked.

Abbie took a sip of her coke and gazed at him. She was curious as to why he asked.

"Well, I'm happy I came because I made such good friends, friends that I wouldn't have found anywhere else," Abbie said thoughtfully.

"Like who?" Chris questioned.

"You know who! Gordie, Cammie, Emma, Teddy, Shawn….."

"And me?" he asked with a smirk.

She flashed him a wide smile and replied, "Yes. You too."

Suddenly, a song came on from the jukebox: Yakety Yak.

"Oh my god, I love this song!" Abbie exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's really boss," Chris agreed, leaning over the table towards her, "I didn't think most girls liked this song."

"Are you kidding?" Abbie asked incredulously, leaning over too, "This song is the best! Well, besides Lollipop. But I do love it………..Just finish cleanin' up your room, Let's see that dust fly with that broom!"

"Get all that garbage out of sight... or you don't go out Friday night!" Chris crooned with a surprisingly talented voice.

"Yakety Yak...don't talk back!" they both sang together, going down extremely low on the last part, causing them to burst into laughter. The other people in the restaurant gave them funny and annoyed looks. The two looked at them, then at each other, and then started laughing even harder. Abbie looked down at the table and started twirling her straw around in her cup. She was having a really good time. She was surprised she was; she hadn't hung out with just one of the guys before this. Who knew Chris could sing? This thought caused her to giggle and she looked up, finding herself close to Chris. Dangerously close. They were both leaning across the table, meeting halfway. Abbie could see the tints of light green in his sparkling blue eyes, and could count freckles that you wouldn't normally see on his face. They stared at each other, wondering what was happening and how it got like this. The only difference was that one of them was beginning to like this very much, but the other wasn't too sure. But they both leaned in a little bit more anyway, their noses just barely touching. But the feel of the soft tip of the end of his nose shot Abbie out of it. She instantly pushed herself backwards, flinging herself back into her side of the booth. Chris remained in his position, gazing at her with a confused expression.

"Umm…..uhh….aren't we supposed to be meeting up with the rest of the gang? I mean, they're expecting us, we don't wanna keep them waiting much longer!" Abbie exclaimed nervously, standing up and starting to walk away.

"Yeah, we don't wanna keep them waiting…." Chris replied weakly, giving her a cheery smile. As soon as she turned away from him, his smile flipped upside down. He hesitantly stood up and followed Abbie out of The Blue Point, pondering why she didn't let what would have been.
