Lucy Messer was basically a ball of hyper-ness on the Fourth of July. She loved big holidays. Especially ones where her daddy let her drive her Jeep, just for entertainment. She had her hair up in a turban with her towel and she had her glasses on while she looked for a hairbrush and the ribbons she put in her hair on holidays.

"Lydia!" She screamed.

"What?!" Lydia Anne came into view, hairbrush in hand a ribbons tied to her wrist.

"Give me my stuff." Lucy insisted.

Lydia contemplated that for a moment. "Nah!" She said and ran toward Giovanni and Matteo's room.

"Gio, Matt, I need my hair stuff!" She yelled. It was tossed into the hallway and the door was shut and locked. The twins knew how to scare the whole damn neighborhood, which consisted of all her surrogate aunts and uncles.

"Thank you!" She yelled into the twins room. It was an ineffective gesture. She ran back to her bathroom seeing as she was only in her jeans and a bikini top. Her favorite song came on.

Our love has come so far
But not at all
I remember the start
You can't recall
By the time it was right
You didn't wanna fall
If it's over
Say it's over
Blindly
I let you destroy me
Love is not so beautiful when your lungs caving in and beautiful is gone

As she screamed the lyrics out, her dad walked into the bathroom.

"Hey Luce." He said coming up behind her.

"Hey daddy!" She said, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "So, let me get this straight, me, Carmen, Carter and Jonathan are all going up to the campgrounds in my Jeep?" She asked him.

"Yeah, the Avalanches are gonna have the younger kids in 'em and I don't want anyone walkin'." Danny said gruffly, messing with his oldest daughter's hair.

"Thanks daddy! You're the best! Now, get! I need to get actual clothes on!!" She chased her dad out of her bathroom and went back to singing.

Rebecca McGee was trying to choose between the black tank top with the American flag or the purple tank top with the American flag.

"Katan, Rhynn!" She called out the window. Her balcony was four feet from the twin DiNozzo's balcony.

"What!" Came a call as the two girls stepped into view.

"Help!" Rebecca said, holding up the two tank tops.

"Becky, when will you learn? Black!" Rhynn said as Katan dragged her back inside.

"Thanks Rhynny!" Rebecca called.

She put the tank top on and grabbed her black flip flops. She knew that all the other girls would probably wear cowboy boots, go barefoot or wear flip flops. The flip flops were her best bet. She pulled her hair up into pigtails and twisted them into buns.

"Zaire! Where's that ride?!" She yelled down the stairs as she jumped them, two at a time.

"The Stokes twins are letting me drive their pick up. A load of the younger teens are riding in the bed." Zaire said from the stairs.

"Who's going in the truck with us?" She asked grabbing her purse off the landing.

" Brinna, Hana, C.C, Alice and Jamie." He said as an old blue four door Ford pulled up in front of the cookie cutter house. "Okay then, let's go!"

"Kelly Jennifer, get your butt down here!" Jethro yelled up to his only daughter.

"What daddy?!" She said, sitting on the balcony over the foyer.

"Who's riding with you?" He demanded.

"Jeez dad, don't get your badge in a knot! Marisol, Natalie, Eva, Kathryn and Sarah." She said, standing up and running down the stairs, purse swinging on her hip.

"Okay. Well, you've got two boys who want to ride in the bed of your pick up." He said.

"Who?" Kelly asked, pulling on her boots.

"Eric and Derrick." He sighed.

"Sweet!" Jethro gave her a "look" "I mean, cool, that's great. I'll go pick them up." She rushed out of the house, boot heels clicking on the hardwood.

Carli Sanders was running around the house, looking for the keys to her Cadillac.

"Rhys! Have you seen my keys?!" Carli yelled.

"Yeah, hanging on your key rack!" Rhys yelled.

"Thanks lil' bro!" She said as she raced back down the stairs and towards the garage. Her dad stopped her at the door.

"Woah, where do you think you're going Carli Brisol?" Greg asked.

"Uh to go get Gil Jr., Eli, Rhynn and Katan! duh! This is the third year in a row I've picked them up to go to the campground!" She said, trying to get around her dad and into the garage.

"Shoes?" He asked.

"In my Caddy, come on dad! I gotta go! I told them I'd be there at four!"

"What about Rhys?" He asked.

"I'm taking Felicity, Aubrey, Brianna, Thomas, Lydia and Sandra, in my pick up." Rhys said.

"Okay, I guess your mom and I are taking her bike then?" Their dad asked timidly.

"Yep!" The Sanders kids grabbed their keys and ran out to their cars.

At the campgrounds the Messers and the Flacks were milling around, the younger kids on the blankets.

Bridgette and Cassidy Flack were popping the bubbles that Caitlin Messer was blowing and Giovanni and Matteo were messing with a sparkler, trying to wire it to a bag of pop-its (A/N: Or snaps as we call them) so that when you lit the sparkler, the heat transfered and blew up the snaps. (A/N: I have actually done that before and I burned my leg. I have a nice scar from it.) Lucy's Jeep was the first of the teen's cars to pull up. She jumped out after she turned the car off and Carter Hawkes followed suit out the passenger side. Jonathan and Carmen were having a tougher time seeing as Lucy wasn't strong enough to pull her boyfriend out of the car and Carter was trying to catch Carmen in all her klutziness. As the two basically fell out of the Jeep, Jonathan and Lucy went to the back and grabbed the karaoke equipment, along with 20 CDs that everyone had messed with to make the songs on them karaoke versions.

"Hey Dad!" Lucy said as she walked over, balancing the CDs and trying to hide the belly button ring that she totally forgot she had gotten a year before and worn her flannel shirt tied below her bra line.

"Hey Luce. Why don't you set those down and go get a soda. The dogs, burgers and ribs are cookin' and as soon as everyone gets here we can eat and then do karaoke. The tents we'll set up later after fireworks." Danny said.

" 'Kay dad. Where do these need to go so Jonathan can put down the karaoke equipment." She said, nudging her (secret) boyfriend who was trying not to fall over under the weight of the speakers and the box of mics.

"Over by the tree we planted when we moved in. It's the flattest area in this whole damn campground." Danny said.

"Thanks daddy!" She set down the CDs where she was told to and turned towards her dad, wincing as his happy gaze turned to one of anger.

"Lucy Elizabeth Messer! Front and center!" Danny yelled.

"Yes daddy?" She asked.

"Belly button ring? Seriously?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"Does your mother know?" He asked looking over at Lindsay who was playing with the Flack twins and Caitlin.

"She kinda went with me to go get it." Lucy grimaced as her mom looked over.

"Linds!" Danny yelled.

"Yes, she got her belly button pierced, big whoop! You had your first tattoo when you were sixteen!" Lindsay said from her place on the blanket, bouncing Cassidy Logan while Caitlin blew bubbles for Bridgette.

"Fine. It slides for now, but when you come home with a tattoo-"

"Dad! I'm 18! I'm moving in with Carli next month! We're going to GT together! I'm an adult!" Lucy yelled and stomped off towards the lake on the other side of the trees. Jonathan chased after her.

"Luce! Lucy! Lucy Lou!" He called after her as she took off through the trees.

She sat down on the dock under the rope swing and started to cry. It was the teen's safe haven. There were no adults allowed. Or little kids. And it had been established when Lucy and the rest of the 18 year olds now, turned 15 then, that no one else could go to the lake. Even Jamie, Lydia, Thomas, Giovanni, Matteo, Aubrey, Felicity, Kathryn, Marisol, C.C and Hana. The only exception was Brinna because she was a grade ahead of the normal for 15. Jonathan sat down beside his girlfriend and held her, whispering soothing words into her hair.

"You know he doesn't mean that. We're the only one's that have seen that tattoo. And the belly button ring, that wasn't a mistake asking your mom if you could get one. All the other girls have them." He said, holding her, rocking her.

"But their dad's don't flip out whenever they get a piercing!" She yelled into his chest.

"So what? Your dad's only trying to protect you from the world. He shouldn't, but he is." He said.

"It's not fair!" She roared.

"We know. Shhhh, calm down baby."

The rest of the teens filed in down by the lake. Carli was the last there and she sat down by Lucy.

"Hey Luce. Your dad wants all of up to go get food. You coming?" She asked.

"I guess, I gotta face him. I won't talk to him, but I'll get food." Lucy said, getting up.

Jonathan put a hand around her waist. "I'll come with you, babe."

"Thanks Jon." She said, leaning into him.

The teens all walked back to the park to get the food. Brinna ran up to the girls.

"You won't BELIEVE what just happened!" She said, bouncing up and down.

"Okay, Brinn, what happened?" Eva asked from Zaire's arm.

"Caitlin just kissed Thomas!" Brinna said.

Lucy and Brianna's jaws dropped. Lucy's little sister and Brianna's little brother were 6 years apart! Caitlin was 7 and Thomas was 13!

"She did what?!" The two screamed. Caitlin looked over at her sister and her sorta cousin. Her eyes got as wide as dinner plates; she ran straight for her dad who was laughing his ass off.

Lucy and Brianna were being held back by Jonathan and Rhys.

"Let us go!" The girls yelled. They settled back after trying as hard as they could to get out of their boyfriend's grasps.

"Okay, now that that's over, lets all go get our food and go back to the dock. That good with you guys?" Gil Jr. asked, taking lead and finally speaking up. There were a lot of nods and as far as he could see, no head shakes, so he made them get into 2 single-file lines. After everyone had ribs, beans, wings and hot dogs, they grabbed chips and other sides along with sodas or virgin margaritas, they all headed back to the dock.

"So, your little sister, kissed my little brother?" Brianna asked Lucy after they sat down.

"Yeah, scary, I know. Giovanni and Matteo have Hana and C.C wrapped around their fingers though, so those two are good. I just pray your little sisters will have better taste than your brother." Lucy said to Brianna. Carmen and Carter were on the other side of the lake. She kept falling over as they hopped across the shallow area that had a lot of rocks in it and Carter was laughing at her. She pulled him in the next time she fell. The teens on the other side were absolutely dying. Lucy was on the edge of the dock. Her cut offs were really short and her brown belt filled basically her whole waist line. She pulled off her flannel shirt leaving her in her cut-offs and bikini top.

"I know y'all have bathing suits on under there! Pull off your tops people! Let's go swimming before we go to karaoke!" Lucy yelled and jumped in the lake off the rope swing.

Everyone was pulling off clothes and jumping in.

After a bit they heard Lydia's music start and Danny say, "Karaoke TIME!!"

Marisol Caine ran halfway through the forest. "KARAOKE, GUYS!!"

"COMING!" The teens jumped out of the lake and pulled their clothes back on. They grabbed shoes and ran barefoot back through the forest.

They came back as Lydia was finishing her song. Lucy, Brianna, Jonathan, and Rhys were singing next. The music started as the four of them got up on the "stage"

Down a back road
Long, hot summer
A couple kids runnin' loose and wild
He kissed her
She said mister
Take an inch and I'll give you a mile

I ain't here to do anything halfway
Don't give a damn what anyone might say
I just wanna free fall for a while

That rebel moon is shinin'
Those stars burn like diamonds
Hellbent on chasin' down that crazy spark
I'll follow you where you're leadin'
To the first sweet taste of freedom
You got me runnin' baby
Wild at heart

About midnight, he tells her
I ain't got no come-on lines
Well I love you, or I'll try to
We got nothin' to lose but time

Stick your hand into my back pocket
Light me up like a bottle rocket
I just wanna free fall for a while

O-oh, alright
Tonight is tellin' us we're way too young

O-oh that's alright
I've got forever on the tip of my tongue

Alright.

They finished the song with a bow and they started hugging each other. Jonathan picked up Lucy as her now dry and curly hair bounced around. He kissed her full on the lips and surprised the whole started to clap and Danny stood there, stunned that one of his friend's sons was dating his daughter. As the couple walked off the stage, Danny rushed up to them, a fake grin plastered on his face.

"How long?" He asked as Jonathan set a hand on Lucy's waist.

"8 months." Lucy said plainly and walked past her father to the DJ booth. She grabbed Eric's disc and texted Eric and Carli that they needed to go up onstage. Carli couldn't sing worth a flip but she could dance damn good. Eric walked up on the "stage" as Carli drove her little brother's jacked up pick-up over to the grassy spot. She pulled her boots on and started to dance as the music came on.

You boys ever met a real country girl?
Talkin' true blue, out in the woods, down home, country girl.

Eric was starting strong as the girls' boyfriends lifted them up on their shoulders and the girls with cowgirl hats on lifted them up as Eric started to sing.

She's a hot little number in her pick-up truck
Daddy's sweet money done jacked it up
She's a party-all-nighter from South Carolina
A bad mamajama from down in Alabama
She's a ragin' cajun
A lunatic from Brunswick
Juicy Georgia peach
With a
Thick southern drawl sexy swingin' walk
Brother she's all

Country (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the song she plays to the prayer she prays
That's the way she was born and raised she ain't afraid to stay
Country
Brother she's country

A hell raisin' sugar when the sun goes down
Mama taught her how to rip up a town
Honey drippin' honey from the hollerin' Kentucky
Getcha flippin' kinda trippie like a Mississippi hippie
She's a Kansas princess
Crazy mother trucker
Undercover lover
Thick southern drawl sexy swingin' walk
Brother she's all

(thick southern drawl)

(sexy swingin' walk)

(Aw, show 'em how a country girl does it one time now)

Brother she's country, from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
Nothin' but country
Yea yeayeaaaaaaa
She's country (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the song she plays to the prayer she prays
That's the way she was born and raised she ain't afraid to stay
Country

Yea, she's nothing but country
She's all about country
From the backwoods she's a homegrown down to the bone
She's country

Eric finished the song as Carli walked onto the stage and planted one right on his lips. The crowd's jaws dropped. They jumped off the stage together.

The rest of the teens finished their songs as it started to get dark. The first of the fireworks started when the sunset and you could start to see the stars. The lake kids ran back to the lake and they could see the fireworks erupting over the lake and some of the sparks fell down into the water. They could hear the little Flack twins saying the colors of the fireworks.

As the fireworks died down closer to eleven or eleven thirty, the moon was full and bright above the lake. There were couples and groups of three spread around the lake. Jonathan and Lucy were still on the dock.

"Luce?" Jonathan asked.

"Yeah Jon?"

"I love you." He said, kissing her head.

"I love you too." She kissed his uncovered chest. They moved a bit so that her head laid on his chest and he was kissing her bare shoulders and stroking her hair.

"Happy 4th of July, Lucy." He whispered.
