A/N: I don't really have that much to say this time. Well, I do have solo and ensemble for choir on Feb 4 (I'm doing a solo) so wish me luck on that. Other than that and the UIL meet I attended today my life's been really boring. So I'll go ahead and thank the reviewers and leave you to enjoy part 39! A huge thanks to Crizzy4RFR, jhhhhjfjk89, and ZephrWiltshire for being so understanding about how late my update was. This one, however, is right on time!
Part 39: You Guys Have to Share
"So, how'd it go?" Travis asked Robbie and Ray the next day at lunch.
Ray gave an angry frown, "This really just makes your day doesn't it?"
Travis tried unsuccessfully to stifle a grin, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Yeah right, Swami!" Ray countered angrily.
Travis didn't show any signs that the name bothered him, to Ray's disappointment.
"Look guys, I'm sorry you didn't beat Ed and Ted." Lily piped in.
"Didn't beat the "Dream Team"?" Robbie couldn't help but laugh. "Oh we beat them, but only because they're both home sick today!"
"So won't they get a chance when they get back?" Travis asked.
Ray frowned, "Duh!"
"And do you think you'll beat them?" Lily asked impatiently.
"Probably," Robbie answered.
"So what's the big deal?" Lily asked.
"We wanted to see the look on their faces when they learn we beat them!" Ray explained.
Lily burst out laughing, "So that's what this is all about?"
Robbie shot her an unforgiving glance to which she immediately replied by dropping the subject entirely.
"Listen guys, I can't make the broadcast today," Travis said softly.
Robbie looked disappointed, "Why not Trav?"
"I'm busy today," He shrugged.
"He has to baby sit Anneke today," Lily informed her friends.
"And you know that how?" Ray asked suspiciously.
"I have my sources," She replied, "Anyway guys, it looks like you'll be on your own today 'cause I can't make it either."
"WHAT? Why not?" Ray questioned in astonishment.
"For your information, Parker and I have plans. And no I'm not backing out of them." She answered the unspoken question.
Ray opened his mouth.
"Yes, Ray, she knows we have a broadcast today."
Robbie opened his mouth.
"No, Robbie, I'm not going to make her wait till after RFR."
Robbie opened his mouth again.
"But nothing, Robbie. She's my friend too, you guys have to share. Ever since she found out about RFR she and I haven't really done anything together on school days. She's too worried about me losing my concentration on the shows if I spend too much time away, so I'm really looking forward to this."
Ray opened his mouth and Lily shot him an unbearably sour look.
"Fine," He said.
"Good, then I'll see you guys tomorrow." Lily smiled, "Enjoy the day without us, right Travis?"
"Uh, sure," He replied.
They sat there silently for the rest of the lunch period.
