Lo put the last of the clean dishes in the kitchen. She smiled and headed for the staff house tonight was her and Peter's night out all to themselves. Why Lo was excited she didn't know. She decided instead of going out to town that they were going to spend the night at the Office just the two of them. When she entered her room Fin and Emma both had matching smiles.
"Ready for your date with Peter Ridgemount" said Fin
Lo rolled her eyes " for the last time it isn't a date"
"But you two are going to the office" replied Emma
"Alone and spending the night there sounds kind of romantic to us" finished Fin
Lo threw the nearest pillow at them shutting them up she then got her bikini on and board and headed outside to wait for Peter.
"Were going to go spy on them aren't we?" asked Emma after Lo had left
"Yup" replied Fin

When Peter finally showed up Lo couldn't help but stare at him. She'd never seen him without a shirt and to be honest she was very impressed. Peter looked like a lean gymnast then a skinny photographer.
"Earth to Lo!" shouted Peter nocking Lo out of her trance. "Ready to go?" he said as he grabbed his board.
"Yea let's go" and with that the two headed off towards the Office.
The two made it just before sunset. After setting up camp. The two teens decided to have surfing contest to see who could out do the other. The contest went back and forth until finally peter lost his balance and fell in to which caused a burst of laughter from Lo.
"Nice job Parker!" she shouted back at him.
Peter glared at her and decided to get revenge. He went underwater and slowly swam towards Lo's board and grabbed her arm pulling her down with him. Lo screamed as Peter dragged her down underwater. She didn't go down without a fight however she grabbed hold of Peter's neck sending him underwater with her. For a split second Peter and Lo just looked at each other neither did anything. Lo started to lean into him when suddenly she forgot she was underwater and swam back up to the surface finally gasping for air.
After the awkward moment where Lo almost kissed Peter. Peter decided to go look for food while Lo stayed behind on the beach looking at the sunset. She was thinking of Peter for some strange reason. Actually the last few days she couldn't stop thinking of him. He was annoying sure but he was also sweet and kind. He also did kind of save her life that first day he was here. She smiled she finally figured it out. She wasn't in love with Spider-Man she was in love with the cute, nerdy, photographer that was Peter Parker.

As Peter walked more into what was the office he had spotted what looked like a rock cliff that would be perfect for a romantic evening with Lo. He got some wood and started to build a fire out on the cliff once he was done with that he placed what food he brought to the side and started his way back to Lo who was sitting on the beach.
"Hey Lo" Peter yelled, " I found us a spot to cook smores come on!"
Lo got up from where she was sitting and followed Peter to where ever it was they were going. They walked up a tall cliff over looking the beach right in front of the sun the sight was beautiful. Lo couldn't ask for more. She sat next to Peter who pulled out a bag of marshmallows from his duffel bag. They talked about work, and Peter's job as a photographer. He even told Lo stories of when he was out taking pictures of Spider-Man and other super-heroes. Lo listened intently she was fascinated at all the interesting people he'd met. Plus she found out he was related to Iron Man and even worked part time as an intern now that interested her even more. Then she asked a question that caught Peter off guard.
"So is it true that Stark Industries is working on molecular energy fields for defense against earth's atmosphere? Or do you not work in that department". Lo asked
Peter just looked at her his eyebrows raised.
'Who is this and what did she do to Lauren Ridgemount?' Peter thought to himself
"Uh…. Actually uncle Tony likes to keep it a secret but yea it's true, "said Peter " so what's with the secret smarts Ms. Ridgemount?"
Lauren blushed realizing what she'd just asked him then looked down to the ground. "Well when I was little I was a huge science nerd and Tony Stark happened to be my Idol…. then middle school came and I got bullied…. so I decided to change my look and personality keep the hidden geek inside you know" she said sadly
Peter looked at her. He could see these were some pretty bad years in her life. But Peter he was bullied all the way to High School even now with his super powers he cant just fight back. He had to keep being Puny Parker. He placed a hand on Lo's shoulder.
"Lo…I'm going through the same thing actually I've been bullied since the beginning of my school life all the way to high school and to this day people call me…Puny Parker" Lo looked up at him she saw he cared about her. And to think people would hurt Peter was just wrong. Peter was the nicest person out there.
Peter continued on " but it's not so bad I have friends my best friend Harry and my friend MJ always help me out I'm just glad I have people in my life like you and everyone else in the staff house."
Lo smiled and pulled Peter into a hug. "Thank you" she whispered softly into his ear.
"Anytime Lo"
The two quickly let go of each other or so they thought. Peer wouldn't let go of Lo's hand and neither would Lo. They stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like eternity Peter broke the silence.
"Lo…there's something I need to tell you…. I cant seem to get you out of my head…when ever I'm around you I feel like my chest is going to pop…Words can't describe how much I feel about you…but maybe this song can." He pulled out of his duffel bag his iPod with the song There is By Boxcar Racer on the music selection. Peter got up and pulled Lauren close and pressed play.
This vacation's useless
These white pills aren't kind
I've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
I miss the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
And slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
I've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
The days have come and gone
Our lives went by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
Where I laid and told you, but you swear you loved me more
Do you care if I don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight will you think of me
Will I shake this off; pretend it's all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Those notes you wrote me
I've kept them all
I've given a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall
With every single letter in every single word
There will be a hidden message about a boy that
Loves a girl
Do you care if I don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight will you think of me
Will I shake this off; pretend it's all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Do you care if I don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight will you think of me
Will I shake this off; pretend it's all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
Do you care if I don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight will you think of me
Will I shake this off; pretend it's all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is
As the song began to fade away Lo looked into Peter's eyes and started to lean forward. When there lips touched it felt like fireworks and magical she didn't want this moment to end and neither did Peter. When the two finally stopped kissing both teens were smiling.
"Do I take that as a yes?" asked Peter
'"What do you think Parker of course" replied Lo and kissed him again.
After Peter put out the fire he got out the sleeping bag.
"I forgot the extra so we'll have to share…is that okay with you?"
Lo smiled then nodded " as long as I'm with you".
The as two of them got into the sleeping bag Lo wrapped her arms around Peter and laid her head on his chest and quietly fell asleep. She'd never been so happy in her entire life and felt so loved by someone.
