DISCLAIMER: No, wasn't mine, will never be! But a girl can dream, can't she.

My update was so so so late. And I'm so so sorry! I felt discouraged because no one wants to review me, 4 reviews people! Only! Actually I'm not expecting much much more...Maybe?

But I do want some encouragement so I'll continue writing this. Okay?

Thank you! If u don't feel interested in this story it's alright…I'm not a pro.

But I try.

I talked too much…now back to the story…

Hangingquestion "Is Lily learning to love again?" Read along to find out.

Enjoy!

Learning To Love Again?

It was a beautiful night; the wind blew gently towards faces as it lifted the strands of hair on them. A teen-looking couple sat at the balcony which obviously looked romantic.

This balcony was part of the restaurant Mia and the others were eating at. And that girl…

The girl who seemed so in love was Lily. Lily Moscovits, younger sister of Michael who was currently going out with Mia Thermopolis.

As Mia looked towards the balcony she whispered to her friends at the table who were talking, laughing, filling their tummies and surely having fun "Don't you think their taking a bit too long? I mean they've just met right?"

Michael, Boris, Ling Su, Shameeka and Tina looked curiously, with surprised looks on their faces.

"C'mon Mia, I know you're kind of protective over Lily. But she's on her own now…and the guy seems really nice" Michael commented while putting his hand over hers.

"Yeah! Let her have a shot with him… who knows maybe she's looking at "her guy" now" Tina said as she looked over the balcony.

Everyone else agreed about what Tina has just said so Mia had no reason to be worried, so she continued eating her food and having fun.

"Mmmm…This pasta looks great Tina, can I have a taste?" Ling Su licked her lips and asked as she looked hungrily at Tina's plate.

"Let's do it this way, I'll give you the whole plate of the pasta while you give me your burger and fries. I don't feel like eating something fancy today! Just the usual!" She laughed

"Sure!" Ling Su nodded as they both exchanged plates eagerly, and then they started to dig in.

There was a long silence in the table then after a second everyone burst out laughing.

"Huh? What are you all laughing at?" Tina asked curiously looking at her friends wondering what the funny thing could be. "Yeah! Did we like miss something here?" Ling Su asked in joking manner, her eyes still placed over the food.

"Nothing Tina" Boris smiled. I just said you were beautiful." He lied, smiled at Tina then kissed her cheek.

"Aww…that's so sweet Boris. But that's not what you said, was it?" Tina asked as her boyfriend turned red.

Just as he was about to defend himself, a man stood on the diminutive stage and said into the microphone.

"Uh… excuse me? Uh…Hello?" The man looked nervous as the people turned to face him, eager faces on their faces. "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you all for your attention. Please welcome today's show, the playing band "Men flee"!"

The tense but well dressed man pointed towards the young men who were rushing, headed for the stage.

They swung their instruments from side to side eagerly as the people seating down thunderously clapped and howled for the famous band.

"Whoa!? No way! I can't believe their here!" Michael yelled, to be heard over the loud music and deafening clapping. "Isn't that your second favorite band?" Mia asked him giving the stage a quick glimpse just to be sure.

"Oh yeah! Their definitely the best!" Michael replied a wide grin planted on his glowing face. Mia thought that he looked so cut in that suit he just bought for this special night.

"Hey Mia? You want to dance?" Michael asked before the lead singer could even invite the people to the sparkling dance floor. "Yeah! Of course!" she answered as they both held each others hands and stood up; to be the first couple to start dancing.

"Hey! If you're going over there, we definitely are!" Tina informed her friends, and then she pulled Boris's hand and tried to get him out of his seat. "C'mon Boris, you can't miss this! And I won't let you." Tina smiled at Boris, who had a worried look on his face.

"But…I-I…I can't dan…" Before he could complete his excuse, Tina pulled him towards the dance floor which now contained a larger number of people.

Ling Su was the only one left in the table. Although Shameeka wasn't dancing she was flirting with a guy she has met earlier. That was more like Shameeka.

"As usual" she sighed. "Can things even get worse?" She asked herself, she almost jumped from fright as she suddenly saw a hand under her face.

She slowly looked up, and saw a good looking guy with a big smile on his face. He seemed as old as she was; He looked really familiar but Ling Su couldn't realize where she saw him before.

"I'm alone, you seem to be alone, I'm bored, and you seem to be bored. Let's dance!" His smile was so warm, it made her have butterflies in her stomach although she had no idea who he was, but she had a pretty good feeling that she's going to dance her butt off tonight.

"Uh…sure! Why not?" Ling Su answered as she stood up to formally introduce herself.

"Hi, I'm Ling Su! And you are…pretty brave to ask a complete stranger to dance with you." Ling Su laughed as she shook the guy's hand.

"Hi, I'm P.R….and yeah, I'm crazy. But I'll take my chances!" He smiled back as he took Ling Su's hand and they ran off to the dance floor.

Teenagers, adults and kids. All kinds of ages dancing to the music sung by the lively band.

Lyricists usually writes what they feel, and it may not make sense what they write but If you try to really listen not just hear them, the words would make perfect sense.

88 of these people were just hearing the music…not having any idea what it means.

But others did the exact opposite…

… Late night
…Long day
…Somehow it's never quite enough
…And maybe
…I'm lazy
…It's been so long sometimes I feel like giving up

…So now I'm staying up all night
…Cause I'm trying to understand
…Why I feel like I've been stuck here forever
…I'll break out today
…I'm throwing my life away
…You don't even know
..I'll break out today
…I'm throwing my life away
…You don't even know

Men Flee performed for over 2 hours having short bathroom and water breaks between songs.

The stage and all tables surrounding were alive and filled with joy and laughter but who knew where others' minds where.

There was complete silence at this particular place.

You know where.

Uhh!!
