Hello!
How are you?
I've just gotten back from my school's sports day and despite not placing in any of my events, I had a really fun time! I also got taught CPR by a stand up comedian this week and I found out that Teen Beach 2 isn't premiering at the same time in the UK as it is in America, so I probably have to wait another month until I can see it. I'm so upset! :'(
But enough about me because you probably don't care. You came here to read the story so here's chapter 21! It's just a Mack & Brady chapter so I hope that you like it!
"It's so weird not having the others here," Brady said, slipping his hands into the pockets of his board shorts as he strolled down the shoreline with Mack back to her house.
"Well don't let it bother you too much, they'll be back in a few hours," Mack replied.
"It's just so quiet without them," Brady said, chuckling slightly.
"I know, it's kinda nice," Mack agreed, letting out a small laugh too.
"It makes you wonder what we used to do when we didn't have ten 60s teens from a movie to control," Brady laughed.
"How boring our lives must have been," Mack said sarcastically.
"Just think about it though, if you hadn't stayed out on that wave the day that you were supposed to be leaving then we'd never have met those guys and you wouldn't even be here right now," Brady said. "You'd be off preparing to go to a stuck up private school on the other side of the country. So really, you've got them to thank for you still being able to hang out with me."
"Yeah, aren't I the luckiest girl in the world," Mack chuckled, a slightly sarcastic yet teasing edge to her voice. "I'm surprised that you don't have girls swarming around you just so that they can spend even a second in your company."
"Hey, I do, I just have to tell them that I'm off limits," Brady said, playing along with Mack's joke. "You mean too much to me to allow them to tear me away."
"But what happens if they insist?" Mack asked, playfully raising one of her eyebrows at the blonde.
"Then I have to fight them off with my good looks and charisma," Brady said, shooting a comical look at Mack, making her burst out laughing.
"You have no idea how lucky I am to have you, Brady," Mack sighed, resting head agasint Brady's arm as they walked along, now fully recovered from the jokes.
"I think I do, do you not remember the conversation we had like five seconds ago about how attractive I am?" Brady asked jokingly.
"Seriously though, I don't think I've ever enjoyed spending time with anyone more than I've enjoyed spending time with you," Mack replied.
"Well I enjoy spending time with you too," Brady said. "I've had more fun this summer than my entire life. I got to go into my favourite movie! Like actually in the movie. What can beat that? Plus I had my favourite person there with me."
"Zack went with you into Wet Side Story?" Mack asked sarcastically, shooting a questioning look to Brady as she mentioned his little brother.
"No, you, silly," Brady chuckled, ruffling Mack's hair slightly and planting a kiss on the top of her head.
"Good, because I don't know what I'd have done if you weren't there with me," Mack replied, a smile spreading across her face.
"Neither do I, you'd probably still be there now, freaking out over bursting into song and sudden costume changes," Brady chuckled.
"Hey, you've gotta admit that breaking into a musical number isn't exactly enjoyable if it's so unexpected," Mack said, looking up at Brady as she spoke.
"I thought it was awesome," Brady said, making Mack roll her eyes.
"Yeah, sure," Mack said.
"How long do you think that the others are gonna last before they start to sing?" Brady asked, quizzically raising on of his eyebrows as he looked across to Mack.
"About five minutes, I wouldn't be surprised if they were half way through a musical number right now," Mack replied, a tiny chuckle passing her lips at the thought. The idea had panicked her at first, but now that they weren't around them it sort of made the problem non-existent. It was like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Had the constant reminders of 'just go with it' from Brady finally made an impact on her? Was she finally relaxing and enjoying the time that she was spending with her friends…even though they were movie characters from 1962?
"What song do you think it'll be this time? Another rendition of Meant To Be or do you think that Tanner's rallied the entire beach into performing Surf Crazy?" Brady asked, the couple both letting out laughs at the suggestions.
"I don't know, probably both!" Mack giggled, a huge smile suddenly spreading across her face upon coming to the realisation that she truly wasn't bothered about her friends' actions anymore.
"What's up with you then?" Brady asked, his lips instantly forming a grin at the sight of his girlfriend's smile.
"What do you mean?" Mack asked, the smile not fading one bit.
"Why have you suddenly become so happy?" Brady asked.
"I've just realised that I don't care what the others are doing anymore," Mack explained, skipping ahead slightly.
"Wait seriously, it's just happened like that?" Brady asked.
"Yep!" Mack giggled.
"Mack, are you sure you're ok?" Brady asked, pressing the back of his hand against Mack's head jokingly to check if she was alright.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Mack challenged, grinning even further.
"Because you're a stick in the mud normally," Brady teased.
"I am not!" Mack cried in indignation, playing along with Brady's game and turning her back on him.
"I'm kidding, I'm just happy that you're happy for once," Brady said, running up behind her and sweeping her off her feet, making her let out a laugh.
"Happy enough to burst into a musical number?" Mack asked, yet again coaxing a laugh out of her boyfriend.
"You name it and I'll sing it," Brady chuckled, setting Mack back down on the sand again. He then grabbed her hand and spun her towards him, but just as the couple were about to lock lips, Mack blurted out a song lyric.
Mack: "It might seem crazy what I'm about to say"
"What?" Brady questioned, very confused as to what had just happened.
"What just happened?" Mack asked, just as confused as Brady was.
Brady: "Sunshine she's here, you can take a break"
Brady clamped a hand over his mouth after the song line escaped his lips.
"I was joking when I said that I was happy enough to sing a duet," Mack said, shooting Brady a panicked look.
"Apparently the universe thinks otherwise," Brady said, his face breaking into a smile as he saw the funny side of things. Meanwhile, Mack let another song lyrics pass her lips.
Mack: "I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space"
"Come on, this'll be fun," Brady grinned, grabbing Mack's hand and dragging a small laugh out of her.
"Oh, I'm sure it will be," Mack said, her lips springing into a smile as she let Brady lead her off to the side.
Brady: "With the air, like I don't care baby by the way"
Mack & Brady: "(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do"
"Are you feeling happy enough yet?" Brady asked, breaking the pair's dance routine to pose the question to his girlfriend.
"Oh, I think we need at least another verse," Mack said, a micheivous glint appearing in her eyes.
Mack: "Here come bad news talking this and that (Brady: "Here come bad news talking this and that")
Yeah, give me all you got, don't hold back" (Brady: "Don't hold it back")
Yeah, well (with Brady: "I should probably warn you I'll be just fine")
Yeah, no offense to you don't waste your time" (Brady: "I won't waste my time")
Here's why"
Mack & Brady: "(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do"
"Still not done?" Brady challenged, shooting Mack a quesitoning look along with a smile as they finished dancing to the chorus again.
"Not yet," Mack teased. "Why, are you getting tired?"
"Nope, I'm just checking," Brady chuckled, before the pair moved into the next part of the song.
Mack: (Brady: "Happy") "Bring me down, can't nothing
(Brady: "Happy") Bring me down, your love is too high
(Brady: "Happy") Bring me down, can't nothing
(Brady: "Happy") Bring me down, I said I tell you now"
Brady: (Mack: "Happy, happy, happy, happy") "Bring me down, can't nothing
(Mack: "Happy, happy, happy, happy") Bring me down, your love is too high
(Mack: "Happy, happy, happy, happy") Bring me down, can't nothing
(Mack: "Happy, happy") Bring me down"
Mack & Brady: "(I said 'cause I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you know what happiness is to you (Brady: "Hey, hey, hey")
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like (Brady: "Woo, yeah")
Brady: (Mack: "Happy, happy, happy, happy") "Bring me down, can't nothing" (Mack: "Bring me down")
Brady: (Mack: "Happy, happy, happy, happy") "Bring me down" (Mack: "Oooh") "Your love is too high"
Brady: (Mack: "Happy, happy, happy, happy") (with Mack: "Bring me down") "Can't nothing"
Brady: (Mack: "Happy, happy, happy, happy") (Mack: "Bring me down") "Bring me down, I said"
Mack & Brady: "(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof (Mack: "Without a roof")
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth (Mack: "Clap along, clap along, clap along")
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you know what happiness is to you (Mack: "Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah")
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof (Mack: "Without a roof")
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth (Mack: "If you feel")
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you know what happiness is to you (Brady: "Hey, hey, hey yeah")
(Because I'm happy) Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
Because I'm happy"
"Happy now?" Brady asked, raising his eyebrow at Mack, who would be on her back on the sand if it wasn't for the blonde's arm around her waist.
"Definitely," Mack giggled, planting a kiss on Brady's lips before he set her back on her feet.
I hope you enjoyed it! Again, I'm sorry about chapter lengths and not much happening in recent chapters, I really am working on it but until school finishes in a few weeks, I might not be getting as much writing done as I usually do. I promise that over summer I'll try to post chapters more frequently but for now I just don't have the time and I don't have enough pre-written chapters, I'm sorry!
The song that I used in this chapter is called Happy and it was originally by Pharrell Williams but I used the version by the Glee cast.
Thank you so much for the three reviews I got since I last updated! I love reading all of your reviews because they always make me smile, you guys mean so much to me!
