This is basically my first story. I've always been a pheely fan, and fell in love with Alyson Michalka and Ricky Ullman. So I made a love story between them. Sorry if its not detailed enough, again this is my first. Please give me your opinions. Oh and I haven't thought of an official title. I'm hoping one will come as I write. Anyways enjoy.

It's been years since Phil of the Future. Both Ricky and Aly went there separate ways after the show ended. Didn't keep in touch. Aly pursued music with her sister. Ricky focused on acting. Did a couple of guest appearances on popular tv shows. But figured he was more into Broadway. So he moved into the city. Stage acting is where his hearts really at.
After going on tour with her sister, Alyson went back to acting. She landed a role on some movies, and also got the lead in a tv show called "Hell Cats".
Again its been years since they've last spoken, let alone seen each other. Both are single, had a serious relationship and dated here and there. But..something was always wrong. Nothing seemed right. They weren't happy.
Right now present day, both are focusing on their careers..

*******scene*******

Fade in...

Ricky who changed his name back to Raviv, is in his dressing room. Looking at his reflection in the mirror. Trying to get into character.

Stage manager walks in..

Stage manage: Rav, you ready? 5 mins til showtime.

Ricky: Yeah...yeah I'll be there. (still staring at himself in the mirror)

Stage manager walks out. Ricky takes a deep breath, then leaves the room.

Stage manager: Alright everyone Ricky..I mean Raviv is here. Curtains up in 2 minutes people!

Ricky takes the stage, in position and waits for the curtains. His co star Samantha takes her place, standing next to him.

Samantha: Ready? (whispering to Ricky)

Ricky: Always.

(curtains raising up..)

Ricky takes a deep breath..

Ricky: Here we go.

*******Meanwhile in LA********

Alyson's driving to the studio, late as always. Aj and their band have been waiting for half an hour. She's rushing while on the phone with her manager.

Aly: No James I told you, I will not do anymore tv shows until Me and Aj finish this record. Its been almost 10 years since our last album, you know this. Listen I have to call you back, I'm pulling into the studio.

She hangs up. Gets out of the car and speed walks inside.

Brad (guitar): Where the hell is she?

Aj: She said shes on her way.

Brad: That was 30 mins ago. Every freakin day this week.

Alyson just barely getting in.

Aly: Alright guys I'm here, sorry I'm late.

Everyone gives her the blank stare.

Aly: What?...Look I know can we just get to work.

Everyone takes their place. Aj walks over to her sister.

Aj: That's the 5th time this week. People are being to wonder if your even being serious about this-

Aly: Yes, I'm being serious! Amanda I'm sorry. I've been really busy lately. But you know how much I want this. How much we both want this.

Aj: Aly I know you've been going through a lot. Especially with your break up with Matt.

Aly: Aj...I'm fine.

Aj: I know your not. (looking at her sister straight in her eye, suddenly one tear starts to appear)

Aly: Aj...can we please just get to work. Please. (wiping her eyes with frustration )

Aj: Sure.. (Aj leans in hugging her sister, kisses her cheek, then walks away to the booth.)

Alyson picks herself together and follows Amanda.

*****Back in NY****

The audience cheers of the bowing of the stars as the show has come to an end. Ricky as the main character takes a good look at the crowd, waves with a smile. Curtain closes everyone walks backstage.

Samantha: That was a good show. I think the best we've done.

Ricky: You say that with every show. (unbuttoning his shirt walking toward his dressing room)

Samantha: Yeah but this was the last one. So it made it even more special. (she says smiling at Ricky)

Ricky: Yeah. (She walks away. Ricky gives a smirk, opening the door to his room, then walking inside.)

He changed his clothes. Beginning to gather up his things. Suddenly a knock on the door..

Ricky: Come in. (cont to pack)

The door opens its Samantha. Wearing a green spaghetti top with a short jean mini skirt.

Samantha: Hey, so a bunch of us are going to the bar to celebrate. Wanna come with?

Ricky: Uhh, no I'm fine thanks. (not even turning towards her.)

Samantha: Come on. You never hang out anymore. You always just go home. What, you suddenly to cool for us?

Ricky: Sam.. (he pauses)

Samantha: What Ricky? ...Is it about us?

Ricky turns around.

Samantha: Cause if it is-

Ricky: Its not.

Samantha: Then what? You try to ignore me. And when I'm around talking to you..its like I'm a disgrace.

Ricky: Thats not true...

Samantha looks at him crossing her arms.

Ricky: I'm sorry I havent been myself. I just..got tired of it all.

Samantha: Tired of me?

Ricky: No. Of me. I'm just...tired of not taking my life seriously.

Samantha: But its healthy to have some fun once in awhile. Come on what happened to that fun Raviv Ullman. The one who moved to New York for his acting, but yet knew the definition of having a good time.

Ricky: He's still here.

Samantha: Then show me... (Ricky just standing there. Hesitating to even move)

Samantha: Come on Ricky...you haven't been like this since Rachel. I thought I make you happy?

Ricky: Sam..look...I'm not..

Samantha: Ricky...I just..I miss you. Don't you miss hanging out with me?

Ricky: Of course.

Samantha: Then come on. No strings, just friends.

Ricky: Just friends?

Samantha: Thats all we are. (she slowly walks over, wraps her arms around his neck. And puts on a small smile)

Ricky: Ok. (not being able to say no)

****2 hours later***

Its 11pm, Ricky's apartment. The two just got back from a drink out. The whole loft is soundless. Ricky and Samantha both lay in his bed naked under the covers. You can pretty much guess what happened. As Samantha lies there asleep, Ricky right next to her just stares at the ceiling. Thinking about what just happened. Thinking his life through. If this is what he really wants. Finding someone isn't too hard for him. Its making himself feel whole and just plain happy is his problem. Samantha was a natural affection. He can connect with her, and she makes him feel ok. It's an easy feeling just being with her. He felt content. But not...happy. Its pretty much unexplainable.

Ricky has been feeling this a lot lately. He's pretty much lost in his own way. Doesn't know what he wants to do. What's his plan. Everyone tells him to go back into screen acting. But he knows his passion is into broadway. That's why he moved to new york and out of LA. But everything he wanted, just seemed pointless. Where does he go from here?

Its been about 3 1/2 years since his break up with Rachel. Sure he was over it. But still he hasn't found anyone to come as close or even better then her. He's been doing mostly dating or having flings. Nothing serious like Rachel. Nothing like Rachel. She was 'that girl'.

Ricky takes a look at Samantha, kisses her cheek then slowly gets up. Puts a pair of basketball shorts on and walks into the living room. There he takes the two, quarter filled, glass cups that were used earlier by him and Samantha, walks over to the sink and sets them on the counter. Samantha's glass still having her pink lipstick marking. He grabs his whiskey and pours more onto his cup. Takes it and goes to the balcony. Sipping on his alcohol, and takes a good look to the moon.

******Back to LA****

The girls have been working all day. Its now dark out.
The scene opens back up of Alyson outside the studio looking up in the night sky of the same moon that Ricky on the other side of the country is staring up upon.
The band leaves, Aj saying her goodbye. Takes a look over to her sister then starts walking towards her.

Aj: Today was really productive. I think this albums gonna be a hit. (she says with a fake smile, trying to get her sister in a good mood)

Alyson just continues to stand there.

Aj: Look I didn't mean to bring up Matt earlier.

Aly: Aj, its fine.

Aj: No, its not. Aly your my sister. And I know better then anyone to tell when your hurting. And right now...your in pain. Maybe you should try to talk to him.

Aly: Aj.. (looking at her sister)

Aly: He made a choice. Its done. (her voice cracks then tears being to fall)

Aj hugs her sister. She hates seeing her this heartbroken.

Aj: Come on, I'll take you home.

No other words said, both walk to the car.

Fade out..
