Disclaimer: I do not own She's the Man. Boohoo.
Hey guys! I'm back! It's really hard getting a chapter up each day, but in the end it's all worth the reviews! Well, today I'm doing the shoutouts first... again... like always. Well, some of you have been wondering how I can update everyday! Well, let me tell you... caffine and sugar high all night! I'm serious. I'll sit at my computer, my homework completely forgotten with like a ginormous mug of supposedly decaffinated coffee (my parents don't think caffine is good, but that doesn't stop me!) and like a bunch of M&Ms. Or like other forms of caffine AND sugar in one. Like Coke. I think on that really long chapter, the one where Michael died, I went through like a mug of coffee (NOT decaf) three packs of those average sized M&M packs (the ones you get from vending machines) and I think like three cans of Coke. I know a lot of sugar and stuff, right! I also had a cucumber, health food. LOL. My parents believed I was doing this essay one of my crap teachers dumped on the whole class that was due the next day... That was half true... there was this big essay that I had gotten that day and was due the next, but since, that crap teacher who's not as bad as the other crappy teachers and I had the advantage of being 'teacher's pet' PFF! I was able to make up an excuse and she was all like, "That's fine, don't worry!" Well, I hope this chapter is long and I plan not to use any artificial energy... LOL.
WELL, I've noticed in some of the last few chapters which were really short, I didn't put as much effort as usual and the bold bit was more than the non-bold bit, the actual story... LOL
nikkitan89: I'll try my best with fluff! It's not my best area... I'll try! Don't worry! And Abigail is going to start getting what she deserves!
GilbertDrone328: Well I hope everything is okay and all after the tornadoes. I know internets can be all fickle and it's great to hear from you! I really, really liked the idea of the drunk one night stand between Duke/Abigail. I'd do it, I'm just afraid I'll be getting hate reviews for doing so. I might choose to, I might not. But I'll make a deal. If I choose not to, I'll write the chapter anyways and send it to you using DocX. I think that'll work. yeah. BUT IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK!
ummmhilol: Do you want to know how I update everyday? I answered that but I'll say it again. CAFFINE AND SUGAR! Yep, I'm a caffine addict, sugar junkie and am hooked onto fanfics. IT'S SO BAD, BUT SO HARD TO RESIST! Well, I'm glad you think it's cute and I love to hear that you can just picture everything happening! I have all the future chapters planned out, all I need to do is get it onto the computer! (This shoutout is way longer than usual! Good job for the long review!)
Girlz-Rule: One answer to that one question: No, Duke's going to find out another way... I'm sticking with the Head Reviewer as a pen-name... Thanks for the advice!
Ashley Garla: Let me say this quick: THANK YOU, YOU ARE ONE OF THE VERY BEST READERS! (all of the readers are, Ashely Garla is just special, she's been reviewing from the very beginning)
itsasouthernthing: Thanks. I like your pen name too! Good to hear you enjoyed it!
OKAY... those are done. Well then. Where are all the other usual reviewers?
Mrs. Dom Masbolle: I'm missing you!
cbarkins: I miss your long, well thought reviews.
HarryPotterANDShesTheManFan18: Aww. I feel unloved without your reviews!
MAKE SURE YOU REVIEW!!
Okay, I have a survey for you...
Question1) I have this Vegas chapter I've thought of. Yes or No?
Question2) GilbertDrone328 wants a drunken, one night hookup between Abigail/Duke. Don't worry, nothing will happen, Duke will just hate Abigail more... and nothing will happen to Duke/Viola. Yes or No?
THANKS! I WOULD LOVE IF YOU COULD ANSWER! Well, I've never used lyrics in my fanfic... I've realized it's years into the future, but pretend the songs that we know today are of the same status... all behind Sebastian's music... I'm not using them in this chapter, but the ones to come.
Viola decided to give the mothers one last chance with the persuassion with Duke. Olivia was supervising, and everything was civil and working smoothly! Each mother was acting normal towards the other and kept their tongues to themselves.
"What type of theme do you want?" Daphne asked.
"What do you mean by that?" Viola replied, tilting her head to one side.
"Yes, what do you mean by that?" Elizabeth tried her best to sound nice.
"Well, you can have a Classic White wedding, fairy wedding,"
"Fairy wedding?" Elizabeth Orsino raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. Fairy lights at night. That type of thing."
"Well, I don't want a theme, but I want white and blue."
"Why blue? It's such a sad color."
"Well, I always liked blue and it's the same color as the Tar Heels were. It's a nice color."
"Fine," the two ladies agreed.
They decided that a date would be the best place to start. They called up and Duke and they sat down for coffee and they started discussing all the dates and days suitable in a very lady like and orderly fashion.
"When do you want to have it?" Elizabeth asked.
"Anytime after August."
"Why August?" Duke wondered.
"Because, we thought it would be appropiate to have it in 6 months; you need the preperation time."
"When do want it Vi?"
"Anytime. Preferably after soccer season."
"So like November?" Duke looked at her.
"Yeah. I guess. I mean it starts in March and end in November..."
"Well, our mom's are not going to have it before August, like the middle and you want it after the season which is November..."
"Then, why don't we do it in December?" Olivia suggested who didn't find a need to speak, the ladies were not ripping each other's hair out... yet.
"Good idea Olivia," Daphen said, smiling.
"Won't it be... cold?"
"We'll have to do it inside," Elizabeth told Viola in a 'duh' tone. Duke glared at his mother. She was always telling him not to be rude, even to people he didn't like and there she was being none other than rude to the person that she should be the nicest to.
"I know... but I'm not looking foward to wearing a long sleeved dress," Viola said, with a shudder at the thought.
"You can do a sleeveless," Daphne offered. "I mean, you're not going to be outside or anything. It should be alright."
"Can we get back to planning the actual day?" Elizabeth asked annoyed receiving death glares from Duke and not so deadly glares from Olivia.
"Sure. When in December?" Olivia saved. She got out her slim, silver, state-of-the-art PalmPilot. She gave Evie a children's interactive picture book to flip through, so she wouldn't be a bother.
Elizabeth and Daphne also got out their planners. The old fashioned, thick planners. They also got out their 'wedding planning' notebooks. They agreed on December 15th. Halfway between 7 and 13, Duke and Viola's soccer numbers. Duke and Viola didn't mention why they chose the 15th, they both knew and they looked at each other with Duke grinning broadly.
Duke got out his Palm Treo and Viola got out her Side Kick. It was new, slimmer and thinner than the old ones. It was a sleek black and looked nicy. All five of them put the 15th of December in as Wedding Day and now Viola was really excited because there was a planned day. Seeing as none of the mothers made lame excuses to go, they decided to go ahead further into the planning process. They needed a venue.
"Chapel?" Daphne asked.
"No," Viola sighed.
"Where then!" Elizabeth asked annoyed. "You don't want to get married in a chapel, church-"
"MOM! Calm down. We'll find a place."
Elizabeth opened her mouth to protest but Olivia saved the day, once again. "I did some looking to. I found this great venue. Especially for weddings. It's very formal, elegant and big enough to fit 500."
Elizabeth was impressed, but she didn't show it. "Well what about the reception?"
"They have like this great, huge room for that. Fits up to 500, once again."
Elizabeth was very impressed with Olivia's work. But that didn't stop her from being her grumpy, nasty self. "Well! Call them up! See if they have an opening!" Olivia blushed at hearing being bossed around. She had went through all the extra work, but Elizabeth Orsino just seemed to hard to please.
She called them up and after a few minutes of talking she said, "Will you hold on just for one second?" She turned to them. "They're free all day."
"Well when do you want it?" Duke Viola, rather than the others.
"How about the reception at night, like dinner with the ceremony bit late afternoon or early evening?"
"Yes, that would be good," the two ladies agreed. They nodded to Olivia.
"We were thinking the ceremony at 5? And then afterwards... around 6?" Olivia talked on and on and they agreed on a day.
"You'll need to send in the amount of people coming along with the names of the florists, caterers, photographers... basically everything. We service an open bar and then everything else is up to you to plan and have arrive at least two hours before the reception. With the catering, we have a kitchen to prepare." The voice on the other end jabbered on and Olivia quickly scribbled them down onto the typing screen on her Palm. She nodded with the occasional, "Uh huh." And finally, she hung up.
"Well. That's settled."
"Well what do we need to do?"
"Uh, Mrs Orsino, I think it would be best if we let the planning up to us and let Duke and Viola not stress too much about it."
"Well, we need her for the guest list, catering specifications, dress and flowers!" Elizabeth exclaimed.
"You can make up a guest list and they can edit it and add people, Viola is already going to the bridal shops with you and Mrs Hastings, all you need is the right caterer to give you options and Viola can choose the flowers to match her white and blue theme."
Duke looked at Viola. "White and blue? Nice..."
They then planned to make the guest list first and then send out the invitations. They would then wait for RSVPs and then fill in the catering order. The flowers didn't need to be done until two months before and dress would take time.
"We can do the dress gradually. Elizabeth and I were wondering if you would like a custom made dress."
"That's great! I love the idea!" They arranged to go back to the bridal shop they went to before next week. Olivia talked on the phone some more and was writing notes down in her Palm. She hung up and she was flooded with questions.
"Please! Let's not stress Viola and Duke. We can make the guest list with Viola and Duke editing them once you've complied a list of people you'd like to invite. Then the invitations go out. Then RSVPs come and then we can fill in the catering order. We don't need to worry about the florists until two months prior the wedding, I know just the people. The wedding dress can be gradual, we make have the fittings now and it'll be made over the year."
Olivia was just so prepared. It bugged the two ladies. They arranged for Viola to go to the dressmakers and Duke and Viola made the excuse to go. They went walking along the sidewalk, passing the designer stores with mannequins modelling the designer clothes. They held hands, swinging them up and down, high.
"FIFA is on this year," Duke mentioned after they walked in silence for a few moments.
"I know."
"Well," Duke asked.
"Well what?"
"Are you going to come with me or not?" Duke asked with a laugh.
"I never thought of it..."
"Well, the coach and the guys are down with you coming with us."
"You've already asked?"
"Well not really. Coach was all like, "You can bring Viola if you like?" He's seemed to take liking to the young soccer star, Viola Hastings. I don't know why... but if Coach likes you, you better enjoy it while it lasts."
"Then yes. I'll come go with you all the way to London to watch you play."
"Just watch?"
"I expect lots of support and advice over the hectic month."
Viola laughed and rolled her eyes. "Yes, that too. But it would be fun to have a mini long distance relationship."
"Nah. I'd miss you to much."
"Awww. It's good to hear you'll miss me."
"Who wouldn't miss someone like you?"
"A lot of people."
"Name one."
"Abigail."
"Ha. Funny you mention her..."
"Why?"
"She just happens to be coming."
"Oh." Viola didn't know how to feel. She wasn't afraid of Abigail anymore, she was just annoyed by how mean and obnoxious Abigail was.
"Yeah. I think Dave invited her. She kinda persuaded him to invite her as she had this fashion show in London as like a fashion week thing. I don't care much."
"Oh. What did Coach say?"
"He didn't say anything. Well he kinda half grunted half mumbled, "I'm so lucky."
"So your coach doens't like her?"
"Not since she was always hanging around during practice and games. He said she was distracting."
"I see. So, tell me more about it."
"Coach is really pushing hard. He says with Justin the ninja goalie in the goalpost, me, Andrew and Toby, we'll have a better chance."
"That's good to hear."
"Well. We leave on July 3rd and the first game we do is July 5th. Yep. So we arrive afternoon of the 3rd after like 10hours of flying and the 4th is intense training and 5th is game day. Supposedly we do well, we get a day or two off before more training and another game."
"That sounds busy."
"It is. But don't worry. It's fun. So you're coming?"
"Count me in."
They headed back to Duke's apartment where Rusty jumped on top of Viola. He loved his new collar, although he had no idea what it said. Viola was around often and Rusty loved the energetic girl. Viola got down on her knees and scratched behind his ears. Rusty barked and wagged his tail. They threw him a dog biscuit before they took their phones out of their pockets and placed them on the counter. Duke undid his watch and he placed it on the counter as well.
Duke and Viola took the stairs up to the rooftop and it was much easier to get there as the set up of the building was different. They didn't take their phones as it was their place and they didn't need or want any disturbances and when they were up there, time didn't matter. They just liked being there with each other.
They reached the rooftop, gasping for air as Duke had chased Viola all the way up the steep steps. They fell into a heap at their 'area' which was similar to Viola's area. They were laughing and when they finally caught their breath, they just kinda looked at each other. They looked at each other for the longest time. They were both still panting and instead of leaning in closer slowly, they just went for each other.
They moved quickly. Their lips met and from there, everything went at 100miles per hour. Viola soon found herself on top of Duke, making out with his as if there was no tomorrow. Duke ran his tongue across her bottom lip, quickly and swiftly and Viola replied by opening her mouth, allowing his tongue to enter. Duke felt Viola's body shiver slightly as thier tongues touched before going on to search around each other's mouth.
They kept making out, another reason why they didn't bring up cell phones. They broke apart when they both opened their eyes and burst into laughter. They continued to make out until they were hit with some common sense. It was dark already. It had been dark for quite some time now. They went up mid afternoon. Now it was into the night.
"I wonder what time it is," Viola mumbled. She was quite tired. All that making out took up a lot of energy. Her tongue felt floppy and so did the arm she was lying on most of the time when she and Duke were on their sides. Her lips were a bit swollen from the heavy kissing, but none of it mattered.
"Come on Vi. You know when we come up here, time doesn't exsist." Duke mumbled back. He didn't feel like doing anything but being with Viola.
"I know," Viola said snuggling in close to him on the blanket. There were a bunch of pillows that they went to buy for the rooftop. "It's just the sun's gone to bed and the moon is too tired to come out." Viola and Duke looked up and saw that there indeed was no moon. Only stars.
Viola woke up the next morning in Duke's arms, in Duke's bed. She shook Duke awake. "Duke!" She whispered.
Duke, who was still sleepy, tried to roll over. "Duke," Viola whined. She tickled his sides. She could hear bits of laughter before Duke turned around to face her so suddenly and said "What?" causing Viola to nearly jump.
"Don't ever do that again. What happened last night?"
"Well, we were looking up and then you fell asleep. I decided not to wake you, so I brought you down here."
"Thanks," Viola said sinking back into the bed. Then, Duke's home phone rang. Duke wondered who it was and didn't feel like getting up to pick up the phone, so he reached out and pressed the speaker phone button.
"Duke!" Toby, Andrew and Justin's voice filled the room.
"Hey," Duke groaned.
"Where were you last night?" They asked. Duke remembered that were going to get together to watch soccer.
"I was busy..." Duke's voice trailed off.
"Man, whatever happened to bros before hoes?" Toby complained.
"Will you guys just shut up? (A/N: Have you noticed in the movie, he says it in a funny way.) Viola ain't no hoe."
"Oh. Our bad," Andrew said sounding not sorry at all. "We forgot it was Viola we were talking about. We should've known. After all, you were going all gooey."
Viola laughed. The three boys on the other line heard Viola. "Hey guys." Viola greeted.
"Hey Vi..." Toby and Andrew said nervously. Justin had no problem saying hey. He wasn't the one who said anything.
"Awww, Duke you should've gone to watch soccer with your friends. They're right. It is bros before hoes. Oh and Toby, the next time a girl says no when you ask her out, it's probably because it's jewels before jerks."
Toby was flustered and Andrew came in to save the day... well make things worse. "Mates before dates."
"Gals before pals."
"Poles before holes," Andrew said back. Justin, Toby and Duke were shocked he would say that. (A/N: I was on Yahoo! Answers to find out a question link to give to my friend when she asked me via email what bros before hoes meant and I found a question about what girls can use. This one guy said holes before poles... I just switched it around... it's nasty... blech...)
Viola didn't seem to annoyed. She had the best and last one saved for last. "Hmm. Have you ever heard this one? Chicks before dicks? (A/N: Another pretty nasty one I found while trying to help my friend) Duke had to laugh and soon Justin was to. Andrew didn't understand how Viola could always win. Toby was still getting the message in his head. The girl Viola who always cared about being treated right and was always sensitive just said one of funniest things he'd ever heard. Soon everyone was laughing except for Andrew and Viola. Andrew was shocked, Viola was fine, she had won.
"Nice talking to you to, Andrew!" Viola said. She could hear Toby and Andrew arguing.
"If only you didn't say bros before hoes."
"My fault now, is it?"
"YES!"
"Guys, stop! Andrew you're just sad because Viola crushed you. Toby, you're just upset because you feel bad for Andrew who can't win against Viola or anyone else to save his life." Justin was speaking. Duke pressed end call to let them sort themselves out. He snuggled in with Viola.
"I can't believe you said that."
"Well, I did."
"But it's so unlike you."
"I know. I always hated the saying bros before hoes. Two things wrong with that. The bros before hoes bit and the bit about hoes. Would you make a girl wait so you could go be with your friends? And who actually describes people as girls hoes? I mean, mean! Well, back in high school, when Justin would blow me off to be with his bros, I would mumble the saying and on the net, I found a whole bunch of girl sayings like that."
"I wish I could've seen Andrew's face."
"Me too," agreed Viola.
"So what are we doing today?"
"Nothing. Staying in bed and talking."
"Sounds like fun."
"It is and it's much more comfortable." Viola started to get up. "I'll be back. I need to get my phone." Duke pulled on her arm, not letting her go.
"I thought we were going to stay in bed all day."
"We are. After I get my phone."
"Ah, ah. No exceptions!"
"Fine!" Viola sank back down and Duke smirked.
"I don't like that evil smirk on your face."
"What ya going to do to wipe it off, huh?"
Viola whacked his tummy. "What was that for?"
"Sorry. I guess I need to work on my aiming skills."
"Oh no you didn't," Duke said trying to sound like a girl.
"But I did!" Viola hammered back. Duke looked at her and Viola knew she was dead. Duke started to tickle her sides and Viola being extremely ticklish, had no choice but to laugh and laugh.
"Say sorry!"
"NEVER" Viola choked out, she was laughing so much. Duke kept torturing Viola by tickling her until Viola got an idea. Duke who was leaning over her, wiggling his fingers on her sides didn't notice Viola's head pop up and place a kiss on his lips. Duke stopped tickling her and started to kiss her back. Duke and Viola continued kissing with Duke leaning over Viola, one hand on each side of her, pinning her down. They were so absorbed they didn't notice that the guys had let themselves in.
I feel so ashamed! I used sugar! AHH! I had like so much candy... but I also learned that carbs give you energy! LOL. I also had a sandwhich. Gave me energy and when I started to die out, PING! The sugar started working. LOL.
