Chapter 15- Fireflies, Part 1

"Is this champagne?" Dana asked.

Logan nodded, "Yeah,"

Dana reached out for the glass, "I don't mean to be rude, but this party is boring."

Logan nodded, he glanced down at Dana's hand on the glass, and then reached out, placing his hand over hers.

"What are you doing creep?" She snarled.

Logan rolled his eyes, "Coping a feel…No, I want first sip Cruz."

Dana's mouth dropped open. "Get your own glass, I don't want your lips on this glass."

"After my lips have been on yours…and elsewhere you're worried about drinking after me?"

"No, I was just kidding, but I'm getting the first sip."

"Why?" Logan complained.

"Because dummy, I put my hand on it first, you can be patient and wait some."

"Don't backwash." Logan ordered.

Dana raised her chin, "Last time I checked you were the horse not me."

Logan scoffed, "Where the hell do you get a horse from!"

Dana gently brushed her caramel locks aside, "Just don't bother me."

Logan loosened his tie. "I need to get some air."

Dana slouched back in her chair. "Don't leave me Lo,"

Logan smiled, "Lo?"

"Well, I was sitting here so bored and I was thinking about how you like to call me Baby Doll, and I wanted to give you a pet name…" Dana waved her hand. "It's dumb."

"No it's not." Logan watched as his dad greeted some more guests. "I wonder what he's up to."

Dana took a sip of the champagne. "Mmm…"

"Is it good?" Logan asked looking away from Malcolm.

"Yeah," Dana passed the crystal glass towards Logan.

Without hesitating he took a sip. "Yeah, that is good."

Dana crossed her arms, "I have a feeling your cousin is going to be pissed off."

"He has a motorcycle, he'll get here." Logan explained.

Dana's eyes widened, "He has a motorcycle…how sexy."

Logan scowled, "It's not that special."

"I think a motorcycle is hot…and Dakota is hot already so…"

"Do you want to dance?" Logan asked cutting her off. He hated how she talked about Dakota to him. Why the hell did she do that? Obviously to make him jealous, but there was no need for that now, because he was giving her all of his attention!

Dana played with the necklace around her neck, "Sure, what is this music anyways?"

"Kenny G," Logan answered.

Dana nodded, "Smokey Robinson, and Sade."

Logan nodded, "Yeah, old people music."

"I actually like some of the "old people" music," Dana said pushing her chair in after she got up.

Logan pretended to gag. "If I was DJ, I would be playing some Black Eyed Peas, after all someone has to get this party started."

Dana smiled, she passed an old man hobbling by on a cane. "He kind of looks like Hugh Hefner."

"Might be him." Logan looked around.

Dana latched onto his arm, "What are you looking around for."

Logan playfully licked his lips, "Those playboy bunnies with the big ol'…"

Dana raised her chin.

Logan closed his mouth, and then couldn't resist. "Watermelons," He finished.

Dana hit him, "You need to respect women."

"I respect you." Logan said.

Dana stopped in the middle of the well lit ballroom, "We can dance right here."

"I'm a bad ballroom dancer, my dad made me take lessons, but I thought it was too girly so I ditched them for basketball."

Dana entwined her hands in Logan, "I never learned how to "ballroom dance", but I did learn some salsa."

Logan smiled, "Ohh salsa, muy picante chica."

Dana smirked, "Don't try to talk in Spanish…I'm sure that's all you know."

"Me gusta Dana." Logan replied.

"You like me,"

Logan nodded, "Me like Dana A LOT."

Noah stood up, "Well, I'm going to let you finish getting ready."

Nicole pouted, "Noah, don't go back to Florida without hanging out with me."

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere without seeing my favorite little sister in the world."

"You forgot adorable." Nicole said cutely.

Noah hugged Nicole, "I'll be in Cali for a little while."

"And then back to Florida?"

Noah shook his head, "No,"

Nicole raised an eyebrow, "Timbuktu?"

Noah grinned, "Timbuktu?"

"I just like the way it sounds…Timbuktu, Timbuktu." Nicole giggled, "Say it with me Noah."

"Timbuktu," Noah gave in.

Nicole smiled, "Maybe we can grab breakfast tomorrow, my favorite place is the Cyber Bean, I used to work there…"

"But you got fired because you messed up everyone's orders, and you didn't feel like working there after Sawyer left, and not to mention Logan stopped asking you to pay up for that silk shirt of his that you ruined." Noah took a breath, "Did I leave anything out."

Nicole placed her hand on her hip, "You remembered all that, I didn't even remember that."

"Well someone has to be the smart one in the family."

"Noah!" Nicole squealed.

There was a knock at the door.

"Ahh, my love bug is here!" She pushed Noah aside, and then ran towards the door. Nicole's foot caught on one of Dana's heels tossed carelessly on the floor, and she went tumbling forwards.

"Ahh!" Nicole screamed.

Noah quickly went to help Nicole up. "Love Bug?"

"He's a model."

"Oh," Noah said.

"Thanks Noah," Nicole dusted off her jeans, and then went to the door. She opened it for Jordan. "Hey,"

Jordan smiled, "Hey, are you…" His pale blue eyes drifted to Noah.

"Oh, I'm her brother,"

"Oh hi," Jordan said nervously.

Noah extended his hand to Jordan, "I heard a lot about you."

Jordan blushed as he shook Noah's hand, and then focused on Nicole who looked beautiful than ever. "Do you want to come with us to the uh…fair?"

Nicole bit her lip, although she was excited to see her brother again, she didn't want to share Jordan with him or anyone else for that matter.

"No that's okay, I have to get back to the um…I'll see you tomorrow sis." Noah hugged Nicole again, and then patted Jordan on the back, "Nice meeting you."

"Yeah you too," Jordan said looking down.

Nicole closed the door behind Noah. "I have to shower really quick, and then I'll be ready."

"Oh, do you want me to…"

"No you can stay, I'll just get undressed in the bathroom."

"I won't look,"

"I know you won't, but I would just feel…"

Jordan bit his lip, "You would feel weird?"

Nicole nodded, "I don't usually undress with guys in the room, it's not really a habit of mine, but I have been breaking a lot of habits for you so…"

Jordan sat down on Zoey's bed, "I'll close my eyes,"

Nicole walked over to her closet, "What do you think about my brother? Isn't he so handsome? He should have girls chasing after him like wild hyenas, but he claims he doesn't, Noah is such a liar…"

Jordan opened his eyes briefly, and watched as Nicole pulled off her top. He looked down, even though he wanted to see more. Jordan's cheeks flushed, it was a relief to him that he was more than emotionally attracted to Nicole, but it didn't help that he thought her brother was cute. Jordan placed his hands to his forehead.

Nicole tossed her shirt at him.

"Hey!" Jordan protested about to look at her.

Nicole let out a shrill scream, "Hold on! I didn't put on a towel yet!"

Seconds later, Nicole pulled her shirt off of Jordan's head, and then patted him on the head affectionately. "I'll be back,"

"Snap, Snap, Snaap!" Michael exclaimed coming into the dorm while snapping his hands.

Chase raised an eyebrow, "Well snap."

Michael laughed, "No you don't know the half of it, I played tennis with Skyler, and she killed me Chase! I'm talking about murdered me…"

Chase smiled amused, "And how is this a good thing?"

"Oh, I didn't get to the good part yet." Michael rubbed his hands together, "Have you ever seen Skyler in a tennis skirt? Man, I'm talking about legs that run on for miles, and the way she worked the court. Brother, losing never felt so good." Michael walked over to the mini fridge and pulled out a bottle of water. "You want something?"

Chase shook his head, "No,"

"What are you working on? School work during our little vacation?"

"Wrong once again," Chase replied clicking the mouse.

"Okay if it's not school, then it's gotta be Zoey,"

"How did you know," Chase said with a smile.

Michael shrugged, "Well it's a given, even with a boyfriend she seems completely available to you?"

"I'm making a mix CD for her,"

"And let me guess it's filled with thirteen tracks either telling her how special she is, or how much you love her?"

Chase frowned, "Um, yeah, should I not give it to her."

"She's Zoey Brooks, Sawyer is like the king of cheesiness, I think she'll appreciate a mix CD from her 2nd favorite Beau."

Chase grinned, "Beau,"

Michael popped his collar and then put it back down, "Skyler was playfully calling me that, damn that girl is fine!"

"Yeah, I got the point, she's fine."

Michael smiled and pointed at Chase, "Ha Ha, even you realized it."

Chase smiled and then worked on finishing his CD. "Do you like that song by Faith Hill called "Fireflies"?"

Michael scowled, "I don't usually listen to country…play a little bit."

"No, I'll just put it on, I think Zoey will like it."

"So where are you taking her?"

"The fair."

"What are you wearing?"

"I don't know."

"Chase!"

"What?"

"You like Zoey."

Chase nodded, "Well Michael you're my best-friend…do I talk about any other girls."

"Meadow." Michael answered.

Chase pretended to gag, "But I don't like her though, she's evil."

Michael grinned, "Yeah, she is…but you got to be pimped out you got to be…"

"Normal," Chase filled in.

Michael nodded, "Yeah, how about a polo…do you want to pop your collar like Sawyer, Zoey would probably like that."

Chase shook his head, "No,"

Chase finished the CD, and then got up to go over to his closet. "How about I wear a button down shirt, and shorts?"

Michael stood up, "That sounds good. Skyler and I are going to an Italian restaurant tonight…imagine it Chase, me, spaghetti, my bella…" Michael chuckled, "Yeah,"

Chase smiled, "Well you go ahead and get ready for your date, and I'll get ready for um…"

"Your date," Michael filled in with a laugh.

Chase sighed, "You're funny, I'll call it my friendly outing."

"Not if a kiss is involved." Michael teased.

"Ohh Sawyer this restaurant is nice," Zoey gushed.

Sawyer wrapped his arm around her lower waist. "This isn't where were eating."

"Oh?" Zoey said turning around to face Sawyer.

Sawyer gently pushed Zoey's bangs aside. "We have a special section."

Zoey hit him, "Sawyer, how much did you spend!"

Sawyer shrugged, "No worries."

Zoey reached for his hand, and gave it a hard squeeze, "What do you mean no worries! We're still in high school, I don't expect you to drop major cash on me."

Sawyer kissed Zoey on the cheek, "Well you can't do anything about it because I want to."

A waiter met them at the door. "Welcome to The Fritz, do you have reservations."

"Under Thomas." Zoey said.

Sawyer smiled, "Yeah, Thomas."

The waiter looked over his pad, "Okay you have the fireside room."

Zoey raised an eyebrow. "Hmm…sounds nice,"

The waiter grabbed two menu's and then signaled for Zoey and Sawyer to follow behind him. He opened the door, to a spacious room with sleek wooden paneling, dark maroon carpet, and two fires burning in fireplaces across the room.

Zoey placed her hands to her mouth. A table was set in the middle of the room, and it was decorated with magnolias, and other various flowers. She smiled at Sawyer and then squeezed his arm. "Oh migod Sawyer, this is so romantic."

"I try."

"No, you are so romantic," Zoey squealed. She waltzed over to the table, and then did a little spin.

Sawyer laughed, "What was that?"

Zoey jumped around excitedly as the waiter closed the door, "This is so intimate, so beautiful, so ahh…Sawyer, I love it." Zoey spun around again.

Sawyer pulled out a chair for Zoey, "We have all night."

"I know…" Zoey said.

"Wait right there,"

"Okay," Zoey said.

Sawyer walked towards a closet, and then pulled out his guitar.

"Sawyer,"

"I was here before setting up."

Zoey tilted her head to the side, "You're so sweet, have I told you I love you Sawyer?"

"Not lately," He said.

"Well I do."

Sawyer strapped his guitar around his body, and then walked over to her. "I wrote a song for you."

Zoey placed her hand against the side of his face.

"It's called Fireflies,"

The lights dimmed.

Zoey bit her lip and then looked around in excitement, she reached for a magnolia and then held it in her hands, as Sawyer started to play.

His hands grazed the chords as he brought alive the intro melody. Sawyer tapped his shoes along the carpet as he started to sing.

Every time I look in your eyes

I get lost in these feelings inside

Your sweetness and innocence overcomes me

I couldn't have made you up in my dreams

Your beauty has me reeling

Firefly

I never knew I could feel like this

Love you like I do

Constantly want to be near you

Feel your fire in blurs of orange

Become so attached that my thoughts flood with you

As night sets in, you illuminate my world with your light

Staring into a fire

As the fire burns

The winds blow, and the fire churn

I see your eyes

Orange glistens, yellow glows, and your features show

Beautiful eyes dipped in chocolate

Fireflies surround the fire, lightning bugs

That burn every desire to the wire

They catch my eyes

Like you caught mine

Magical creatures, Special like you.

Fireflies they light the night.

Feelings like these got to be right.

Nothing compares to this love I feel.

Fireflies they got to be real.

Because without you I couldn't deal.

"That was beautiful,"

"Corny, I know, but…"

"No I loved it," Zoey got up and hugged Sawyer. "So I'm your firefly, and your Sunshine, what's next."

"Angel of course…but that's already given."

Zoey kissed Sawyer, "I don't think I could ask for a guy more perfect."

Well two perfect guys, she still had to meet Chase after this.

Meadow walked towards the nurse's office. It was eight o' clock at night and she was worried the nurse's office was closed. After using the bathroom earlier, something didn't feel right. She bit her lip. It never burned when she used the bathroom before. Uggh, she felt so disgusting, what if she had some STD?

"Like gross!" Meadow screamed.

Someone walking past glanced at her oddly.

"What the hell are you looking at punk!" Meadow screamed with a balled fist.

The person kept on walking without paying Meadow anymore attention.

She reached the nurse's office, and then peered inside, unfortunately all of the lights were off. Meadow screamed and cursed loudly. Something was wrong with her, and she would feel disgusting, and gross, until she found out what it was. As she leaned against the building in distress, her green eyes fixed on the new student hangout building PCA was building. Orange flickers of light bounced off the wall, and then disappeared.

"What the hell?" She whispered. Meadow leaned against the wall, she looked around the quiet PCA campus, palm trees billowed gently in the wind, and the Pacific ocean seemed still from the angle she was standing on the hill. She turned back around to the fire flickering in the building on the top floor. She had a feeling that someone was up to no good, and she did love trouble so she was going to investigate.

Meadow opened the door, and then slowly walked up the stairs. She wasn't scared, but her heart was beating nervously. Once she reached the top floor, she opened the glass doors, and then stepped inside.

A shadow stood by the window playing around with a lighter. He turned to her shocked.

Meadow jumped but held her ground, "What are you doing?"

He turned away from her, "Nothing,"

"Being a loser and hiding in the dark,"

He glanced at her, and then shook his head, "It's not hard to be a loser when you already are."

Meadow raised her chin, from where she was standing he looked kind of cute. In her book losers weren't cute. "What's your name?"

"Why?"

"Just tell me before I have to make you suffer a great deal of pain before you cave in."

"My name is Cassidy,"

Meadow smiled, "What a gay name."

He scowled, "And what's your name."

She scoffed, "Meadow, but I was kidding I like your name. So I'm going to ask you again, why are you in the shadows and I am going to need a less brooding answer."

"Well if you must know then I'm here because I'm not exactly the most wanted guy at PCA."

"Why not?"

"I just got here, and I'm already an outcast."

Meadow smiled, "Why?"

Cassidy ran his hands over his short blonde hair, "It's not important."

Meadow crossed her arms, "A man of mystery I like you already."

"I'm going outside," Logan said.

Dana looked up from the table. "What are you doing?"

"I'm catching fireflies,"

Dana's mouth dropped open, and then she laughed. "Are you kidding me! Fireflies, oh god, Logan you are so retarded."

Logan crossed his arms, "Are you finished yet Cruella?"

Dana stopped laughing, "Who are you calling Cruella!"

"You, I'm going outside,"

"To catch fireflies," Dana mimicked.

Logan leaned forward, "That's what I told my dad, I told him I was going to catch fireflies…but really I'm going to do that, and then go skinny dipping."

Dana raised her chin, "Skinny dipping, Logan you ho."

Logan smiled, "It's nice and hot outside, and besides I feel like I need to let it all hang out before Malcolm gives me his news."

Dana flipped her hair, "Okay have fun catching your little fireflies, and skinny dipping."

Logan handed Dana a bottle, "You're coming with me."

"I'm not taking off my clothes."

"You don't have too, but I am." Logan raised his eyebrows suggestively in Dana's direction.

"Oh just get away from me."

"C'mon you know you wanna."

"And what exactly are you going to do with the fireflies you catch?"

"Put them in a jar, and put them by my bed, I think they'll look kind of cool."

Dana placed her hand against the side of her face, "You're hopeless,"

"Be hopeless with me, let's go catch us some fireflies and use them as decorations." Logan said holding his hand out to Dana.

Dana tilted her head to the side, "Don't you have any fun activities?"

"Like spending money, working out on my sexy body, and picking up hot chicks."

Dana bit her lip in order to hide her smile, "And where do catching fireflies fit into all of this?"

Logan grinned, "Wherever I fit it, but c'mon,"

Dana stood up and smoothed down her elegant dress, "Well I guess, because I didn't buy this dress…but it is cute and I don't want it to get ruined."

"So I'll make sure it is professionally cleaned."

As Dana and Logan walked towards the door leading out of the ballroom, the front doors swung open. They turned around and watched as someone rode their motorcycle inside.

He killed the engine, and then pulled off his helmet, he shook his sandy brown shoulder length hair out of his face, and then smiled mischievously at his many on lookers.

"Well what on earth is this?" A woman in a pearl necklace exclaimed. "Who invited this hooligan?"

Dakota tossed his helmet aside, and then allowed the bike to stand on it's own in front of the door. "Well hello you'll where's the caviar," He said.

Logan rolled his eyes.

A smile crept across Dana's face.

Dakota caught Dana's eye, and then he winked back at her.

"Let's go Dana," Logan reached for Dana's hand and led her outside.

Dana watched Dakota some more as he helped himself to some beer. People were yelling at him to move his bike including Malcolm, but he seemed more focused on Dana.

He was a rebel, Dana could tell and she liked that.

"Stop looking at him," Logan said childishly.

Dana turned away from Dakota amused, "What was that?"

Logan started to loosen his tie, "Forget the damn fireflies, lets get nakey."

"I beg your pardon?"

Logan placed his tie between his teeth as he unbuttoned his shirt, "The pond isn't too far from here."

Dana looked around, "What if someone comes out, or what if you're father wants to tell you the news as soon as YOU start skinny dipping?"

Logan successfully took off his shirt, and then flexed his arms. "How does that look?"

Dana looked around, "Put back on your clothes,"

Logan tossed his dress shirt on the grass, and the pulled his tie back around his neck. "Look I'm dressed."

Dana rolled her eyes, "Put back on your shirt, and have you gone crazy! You idiot the shirt's white and you tossed it on the grass!"

Logan kicked off his shoes, and then took off his socks. He wanted her attention, and he wanted it bad. Logan then unloosened his belt, and allowed his pants to fall to the ground. "I've always been curious, do you like boxers or briefs more?"

Dana smirked, "Go away,"

"Just answer,"

Dana narrowed her eyes at him, "You idiot, neither,"

Logan smiled widely. "Me too, I've always preferred commando."

"I am going to go back inside, and maybe Dakota will give me a ride on his bike."

Logan pulled off his boxers, "Ohh that feels good!"

"Logan!"

Logan did a cartwheel, "Look at me Dana!"

"Stop you ass! What if someone come outside and sees you doing cartwheels naked at your father's fancy party!"

Logan fell on his butt, "Oh well then they better consider themselves lucky."

Dana stormed over to Logan with his clothes in hand, "I am this close to smacking the…"

Logan jumped up and then pulled Dana onto him. He rolled on top of her, and then she rolled over him.

"The dress!"

"I told you I'll dry clean it for you."

"You ruined it! I can't go back in there like this."

"Then we won't go back, I don't want to hear my dad's news, I just want to be with you."

Dana felt her cheeks rush with warmth.

Logan stroked her cheek, "Take a swim with me."

"No,"

"C'mon," Logan said in a seductive whisper.

Dana got off of him, "You really need to get dressed."

"Okay, I will…" Logan got up, and then he eyed her purse which was clutched tightly in her hand.

"What are you looking at?" Dana asked.

"Oh um nothing…" Logan grabbed Dana's purse with one swift motion , and then started to run.

"Logan!" Dana screamed running after him.

Logan sprinted towards the pond. He knew how fast Dana was, quickly he threw her purse into a bush, and then dived into the pond.

"My purse better not be in there, or I'll kill you Logan."

"Come and get it sweetheart or I'm going to let it sink to the bottom."

"Don't you…"

"I will, unless you come on in and get it," Logan said playfully splashing some water in Dana's direction.

"Everything was great," Zoey said placing down her fork.

Sawyer rubbed his hands together, "So you liked dinner,"

"It was perfect,"

"I'm glad you liked it." Sawyer stood up, and then helped Zoey up. "Do you want to take a walk on the beach or…"

"Actually I have to um…I have to meet Nicole at the fair."

Sawyer's eyebrows furrowed low over his eyes, "Ohh,"

Zoey pouted, "Yeah…I don't want tonight to end, but I promised her so…"

"That's fine, I'll just stop by tomorrow and help you get packed for Louisiana."

"And I'll help you, and then after that we can..."

"Get close," Sawyer teased kissing Zoey on her earlobe and down her neck.

She giggled, "Not to close."

"Yeah, I know our limits."

Zoey winked at him, "I just wanted to let you know that I really do appreciate everything you do for me."

"Can I take you to the fair?"

"Um…I'll walk, it's not to far from here."

Sawyer nodded, "Okay, well I'll at least walk you outside."

Zoey linked her arm in Sawyer's and then rested her head on his shoulder, "Thank you kind sir,"

Nicole closed her eyes as she washed her hair with shampoo. She was thinking about kissing Jordan. She was going to do it tonight…well not do it, but kiss him. Nicole squealed at the thought. As she reopened her eyes, she spotted a small spider in the corner. Nicole's eyes widened. She hated spiders! They were monsters! The spider slightly moved, at the moment she let out a scream. A loud, bloodcurdling scream that was equivalent to any person being attatcked. "AHHHH, it's trying to kill me!"

Jordan shot up. He pushed open the door to room 101, and ran towards the bathrooms. Nicole had to be in the shower. What if someone was attacking her! He needed something, a weapon or…

Nicole screamed again. He didn't have time to think about it because he had to save her. Jordan threw open the shower curtains.

"Ahh! It's alive!" Nicole screamed.

"What! What!" Jordan yelled staring at Nicole's bare back with wide eyes.

Nicole turned around to Jordan fast enough to give them both whiplash. The spider moved.

"AHHHH!" She screamed.

"What?"

Nicole grabbed onto Jordan's shirt. She dragged him into the shower with her as the spider started to crawl towards them. "Kill it Jordan, Kill it!"

Jordan couldn't see it, "Where, where…"

Nicole jumped onto Jordan.

His hands grazed her skin as he tried to hold her. Nicole was screaming hysterically as the spider crawled up the wall, "It's trying to get to me!"

"Woah…" Jordan's feet slipped on the wet shower floor. He held onto Nicole tightly as he fell forward. They both yelled as they fell down. Nicole fell out of his hands and against the wall, she placed her arms around her body.

Jordan pushed himself up, and then reached out to turn off the shower faucet.

Nicole reached around for a towel.

Jordan's cheeks were flushed, and his hair was wet now and covering his eyes. "A spider,"

Nicole bit her lip, "I'm so…"

He laughed, and then rested his head against the wall, "What am I going to do with you?"

"Love me," Nicole whispered.

Jordan pushed his hair out of his eyes, "What?"

"Um…Green tea?"

Jordan got up, and respected Nicole by not looking at her naked. "Um…I'll go and get changed and then…"

"Meet me back at my room, I'll be dressed."

"Sure," Jordan pulled off his shirt on his way outside.

Nicole squealed and then rested her head against the wall, and then she remembered the spider. She screamed and then jumped up, running towards the door, Jordan opened the door, and she ran into him.

"The spider tried to attack you again?"

Nicole placed her hand on his shoulder, "I'm fine,"

"You sure?"

Nicole nodded, "Yeah, I'm going to go and get ready now," She looked down at her hand on his shoulder, and then slowly let her hand drop down.

Jordan watched as she walked away. Nicole was too cute.

Chase sat down at a bench in defeat. He had waited for Zoey over an hour now, and he was pretty sure she wasn't going to come. Chase frowned as he looked down at the roses in his hands. Maybe roses was a little too much anyways. Just as he was about to throw them away, he was startled by the sound of fireworks going off.

Chase looked up. Bug bursts of orange, red, yellow, and blues illuminated the night. Chase sighed, The fireworks were nice, but he would rather watch them with Zoey, no matter how corny that sounded.

Well it looked like Zoey wasn't coming. Chase got up, and walked towards the trashcan to throw away the flowers in defeat.

"Chase!"

He looked up as a firework exploded in the sky. Zoey beamed back at him, looking beautiful as ever. Chase held his hand away from the trash can and then hid the flowers behind his back. His heart was beating fast, and he knew a cheesy smile was covering his face. God, she looked so beautiful.

Zoey ran towards him, avoiding crowds of people coming towards her. "Chase, I'm so sorry!"

"No, it's okay," Chase yelled over the explosions of the fireworks.

"No it's not, thanks for waiting." Zoey said grabbing onto his sleeve and then whispering in his ear.

Chase nodded accepting her apology.

"So what do you want to do first? I want to…"

Before Zoey could finish Chase handed her the flowers.

"Aww," Zoey said in amazement.

Chase shoved his hands in his pockets nervously, "I was just at this shop, and I thought I could pick them up for you, they're nothing special but…"

"So special," Zoey said kissing him on the cheek.

Chase closed his mouth. He was pretty sure if he kept on talking all of his words would mix together and he would make no sense, after all Zoey had just kissed him. Be it a kiss on the cheek, it was still a kiss, her lips was on his cheek.

Chase blushed.

"Thanks Chase," Zoey said wiping her lip gloss off of his cheek.

Chase smiled and nodded, because he believed that was all he was capable of doing at the moment.

"Ohh, I love the spaceship ride!" Zoey exclaimed. She grabbed onto Chase's hand and then led him towards the ride.

"Come one, Come two!" A guy yelled.

Zoey and Chase stopped.

He smiled, "Customers eh,"

"Hi," Zoey said curiously.

"Hi," He mimicked.

Chase raised an eyebrow, "You stopped us."

"How would you two like to play a game?"

"What kind of game?" Zoey asked holding onto Chase.

The man signaled towards a fun house behind him, "If you two manage to get through the fun house in fifteen minutes then you win the grand prize."

"Which is?" Chase asked.

"This brand new guitar."

"Wow, how many people have won a guitar?" Zoey asked.

"No one," The guy explained.

"Well it's just a fun house," Chase said.

"Are you in or out?" The guy asked.

"Um…in," Zoey replied.

"Okay," The guy pulled out a pair of handcuffs.

"Woah, what's those for?" Chase asked in shock.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that you must find the key in the funhouse, unlock yourselves, and then come back unchained." The guy reached for Chase and Zoey's hands and then locked them together. "Happy hunting, you two got fifteen minutes."

"Well do you have another key just in case we don't find the other one?" Zoey asked.

The man smiled, "What other key?"
