A/N: Hi everyone! Just a reminder that I wrote this story right after the New Year's episode, so anything that happened in the show after that point is not reflected in my story. For example, Lexie was never cut off financially, Sean didn't go to Ghana, Axl is not in Denver. I hope you enjoy! The next chapter will be posted tomorrow because I ran out of time today.

Sue could hardly believe her eyes when she received an email containing her textbook list for her Senior year at East Indy. Summer was already coming to an end and it had just flown by. Between balancing her work schedule, applying for internships, and her blooming relationship with Sean, she hardly had any time to even realize that it was already August. She was grateful that she now had a chance to hang out with Brad and Lexie for the first time in several weeks. The trio had planned a movie night at Sue and Lexie's apartment to kick off their Senior year.

"Who want's some bubbly?" Brad asked enthusiastically as he held up a bottle of cheap champagne that he had picked up on his way over. Lexie took the bottle from Brad's hand and carefully examined the label.

"No, thanks." Lexie said kindly as she handed the bottle back to Brad and pulled a bottle of Fuji water out of the fridge. She was used to the "finer" things in life since she came from a wealthy family. She had been allowed to take part in wine tasting during family dinners since she was 16 and had developed a taste for certain varieties of wine that Brad and Sue didn't even know existed.

"Sure, why not?" Sue replied and Brad carefully poured the champagne into two glasses. He passed one of the glasses to Sue and they clinked them together before taking a sip simultaneously. She couldn't help but make a face when the bitter liquid splashed onto her tongue, but she swallowed it anyway and shook her head in an attempt to remove the taste from her mouth. Brad laughed at the sight of it and went into the fridge to pull out a carton of orange juice.

"Mimosas instead?" He suggested. Sue nodded and he added orange juice to both of their glasses before placing the carton back in the fridge. Sue took another sip and this time, it was much more refreshing. Lexie threw a package of popcorn into the microwave while Sue set up the movie on the tv.

"We need to do this more often. I feel like we are all always so busy lately!" Lexie commented.

"Tell me about it." Sue replied. "I've been working soooooo many hours at Spudsy's. I really wish I could have gotten that desk job at the Orson Inn. At least then my feet wouldn't feel like they were going to fall off." Sue continued.

"At least you're making money. I had to spend the whole summer sitting around in the garage while my dad attempted to teach me how to fix the car. He said it would build character." Brad rolled his eyes dramatically and Sue laughed.

"At least Lexie had a fun summer. She even has the tan to prove it." Sue smiled and Lexie smiled in return, but she felt a little guilty that she had spent her summer vacationing in Hawaii with her parents.

"I guess so, but we've already been to Hawaii like 4 times so it wasn't that exciting..." Lexie attempted to make it sound less enjoyable. Brad and Sue exchanged glances but brushed it off since this was a common occurrence in their friendship. Sue's phone vibrated on the counter and Lexie brought it over to the couch where Sue and Brad had already settled in for the movie. "It's a text from Seeeeean." Lexie teased as she passed the phone to Sue before plopping down onto the couch in between Brad and Sue. Sue opened up the text on her phone that simply read Can we talk?. Sue's mind instantly went into overdrive as she wondered what had happened. The champagne was not helping either.

"How is that going, anyway?" Brad asked casually without looking at Sue.

"Uhhhh...I thought it was going great but now I'm not so sure." Sue stammered as she held up the phone so Brad and Lexie could see the message.

"Uh oh." Brad said, which was totally not helpful for Sue's already overactive imagination.

"It's probably nothing, why don't you just call him?" Lexie suggested. She had always been level-headed and always help Sue to not jump to conclusions.

"Alright.." Sue hesitated, but got up from the couch and went into her bedroom so she could have more privacy. She took a deep breathe before hitting the 'call' button on her phone. Sean answered after the first ring.

"Hey Suzy Q!" Sean said happily, easing Sue's nerves somewhat.

"Hey Sean. What's up? Is everything okay?" She asked.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your night, I just got off from my shift at the student clinic and I wanted to talk to you about something." Sean said.

"Oh...what is it?" Sue tried not to sound sad on the phone, but she was having a hard time keeping herself together.

"So, I know we planned on spending this weekend together since it will be the last one before classes start back up again...buuuut one of my professors is putting together a small group of med students to attend a convention this weekend...in Las Vegas. I just found out about it. I guess they have had this planned for a while now but one of the students ended up transferring out of St. Matt's and I was asked if I wanted to go. They already had the convention tickets and hotel room paid for and everything." Sean said.

"Las Vegas? Wow...that sounds...fun...for you..." Sue said sadly, but relieved that he wasn't dumping her which was what she was expecting despite having no reason for doubting his love for her.

"Actually...I was wondering if you would want to come with me. I know I'll be busy in the afternoon but I would just love it if we could spend some time together there during my free time...and I know you already took off work this weekend since we were planning on spending time together anyway." Sean said hopefully. Sue let out a sigh of relief and her mood instantly improved.

"THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!" Sue screamed into the phone, but was then a little embarrassed by her outburst. She assumed that the champagne was affecting her after all. Sean laughed into the phone.

"So is that a yes?" Sean asked.

"YES! I would LOVE to go!" Sue agreed cheerfully.

"Perfect! I'll message you the details. I'll let you go so you can continue your movie night, but if you want me to swing by later just let me know. I love you, Suzy Q."

"I love you too, Sean. I can't wait!" Sue said.

"It will be GREAT. I promise you." Sean said before they said their goodbyes and hung up the phone. Sue burst through her bedroom door and quickly jumped back into the living room, screaming in delight.

"I take it that it's good news?" Brad asked calmly, used to Sue's exuberant personality.

"WE'RE GOING TO LAS VEGAS!" Sue danced clumsily in the living room. Brad and Lexie exchanged a look and then looked back at Sue.

"We are?" Lexie asked. Sue calmed down and explained what Sean had told her over the phone.

"Actually...since he's going to be busy during the day..." Sue began.

Lexie jumped up, ran to grab her purse, and pulled out one of her many credit cards.

"Viva Las Vegas!" Brad shouted excitedly.
