It started with a week away
Felicity closed her suitcase. It was spring break. She and the others had decided to spend a few days at the coast, in a small village near Coast City. Tommy's parents had a cottage there. "Felicity, Oliver is here," Her mother called from the door. She had not noticed, that the doorbell rang. But as she knew her mother, she probably had peered through the window. Felicity hauled the suitcase down the stairs and was immediately greeted by the sight of her boyfriend. Oliver rushed up to her and took her suitcase. He set it down on the bottom of the stairs before he turned to her. "Hi" He pecked her lips. "The others are waiting outside in the car." As if on cue could be heard from outside honking. "Felicity grinned." Pretty impatient as it looks "Oliver laughed. In the one hand he took the suitcase, with the other hers. "Let's go, before Tommy throws a tantrum. It was pleasure as always, Donna." Felicity hugged her mother goodbye while not letting go of Oliver's hand. "In a few days I'll be back. Look after yourself" Donna stroked her daughter's cheek. "Do not worry about me. Your old mother will not waste away." Donna shooed them out the door. Diggle took the suitcase from Oliver and loaded it into the car. Donna pulled both into a tight hug. "Have fun," "Will we have, Mum,"She said with a smiling eyes to Oliver. Felicity climbed in as Donna called after her: "Use protection!"
After hours teasing about Felicity, the five friends finally arrived at the cottage. the boys began to unload the luggage immediately, while the girl brought their groceries in the kitchen. "dig, When will Lyla be here? I'm starving." exclaimed Sara. Diggle and Lyla, his girlfriend, were responsible for cooking. Tommy and Sara had tried it two years earlier in which the attempt had, however, ended in a fire. since this incident they were no longer allowed near the kitchen, except for eating. Felicity and her mother lived in general only of frozen food or take out. Oliver was not even asked.
"Geez, we are starving to death?" said a new voice behind them. "Lyla" Sara attacked them. "do you make your infamous lasagne? Please" Sara pleaded with huge eyes. "until tonight," Sara sulked and said "you're mean" In which everyone heard her say "Diggle, your girlfriend is a big meanie." Lyla turned to Felicity and stretched out her hand. "Lyla Michaels'" Felicity Smoak "
they were at the fair. "It seems so as if I would hang out with little children" grumbled Dig facing the two troublemakers of the group. Sara and Tommy had found it funny on the way to play 'are we there yet', but dig found it less amusing. Tommy led the group to the bumper cars, then we went to the haunted house. It was one of these where you had to walk through. Sara and Tommy thought they had to make things more interesting and hide behind the figures. as an unsuspecting Felicity with Oliver came around the corner, they both jumped out of their hiding spots. Felicity screamed so loud that ten minutes later it was still ringing in their ears. Tommy said as compensation he would win her something. he decided he would do so at a shooting stand. the others laughed except Felicity. Oliver told her that babies could aim better than Tommy. he tried every year and every year he failed miserably. but Tommy let himself be deterred, he wanted to prove them wrong.
An hour and several dollars later. Tommy gave up. He had tried every thing from shooting on a rose, throwing darts to even trying to knock down cans. He pouted and hugged a teddy to himself, in which Sara had won for him. He disappeared to drown his sorrow in cotton candy. Sara followed him teasingly. Dig and Lyla had cleared the stands as well leaving Oliver and Felicity alone,
"Why don't we look at the fireworks from the Ferris wheel ?" Oliver asked as they walked hand in hand around. They had just finished their cotton candy. Felicity clutched the stuffed sunflower that Oliver had won her at the dart throwing. she nodded "Why not?" Oliver fetched tickets. they got into the ride. the sunflower was sitting opposite them. they were at the highest point when the fireworks started. They let the evening finish snuggled together.
after yesterday, that was spent with water fight and building sandcastles on the beach, the girls had decided the day to spend alone in Town. while the guys watched football, Sara got the glorious idea to go out in the evening. the boys were quickly convinced, it will be a fun evening. However, Tommy behaved strangely. he hadn't responded to a single flirtation. but Oliver was too busy with Felicity to get to the bottom of this.
But now the last evening had begun. They sat together around a campfire, the sun was sinking on the horizon. They laughed at stories, reminisced. Oliver put Felicity a blanket over her shoulders as she was deep in conversation with dig, Lyla and sara. Tommy was missing. Oliver saw him walk along the beach. Oliver kissed Felicity on her head. "I'll be right back," he jogged over to Tommy. "Are you okay, man?" Tommy looked at him confused. "Everything is good!?" Tommy said in an exaggerated casual tone. "Tommy," Oliver said firmly. "I'm jealous of you. I want what you have. I want to be loved unconditionally and to love in return. Tonight seeing Felicity and you, dig and Lyla made me realize that I feel lonely, that I want more than one-night stands . I want something serious. "Tommy tore at his hair. Oliver put his hand on his shoulder. "You'll find someone" Tommy didn't look convinced. "Take your time. We're still young. And who know, you might be the first one to be married" Tommy laughed. Oliver pushed him back to the campfire. "How about smores now?"
Felicity unlocked the door. Sara trailed after her. "Mom, I'm back. Sara is with me. no one was at home for her." they moved toward the living room when they heard a strange noise. it sounded suspiciously like moaning. Felicity rushed into the living room, expecting the worst. but what she found instead, let her freeze. Sara walked after her into the room and snorted with laughter. "Nice one, dad" Quentin Lance jumped up in a flash, so that he lost balance and fell to the ground. they had just caught him snogging with Donna. Felicity didn't understand the world anymore. Sara bumped her hip with to hers. "Take it positively. We might be sister soon." Felicity stared at her aghast, Sara grinned widely.
