Brendon grinned. "Welcome back! I missed you" he said, hugging Ryan. "I'm sure you did." She giggled. Ryan grinned. "What can I say? I felt it" "Felt what? There's nothing to feel." She said and laughed. "Oh nothing for YOU to feel" he said mischievously, hiding a grin. "Sick." She giggled. "At least not tonight" Brendon said, shrugging. "Yeah, tonight you're mine pretty boy" Ryan said teasingly, pulling Brendon's hair. Lina looked at Harley and started laughing again as she shook her head. "Oh you know it" Brendon said, pulling his hair back. "I'm all yours tonight" "Oh baby" Ryan said, smirking. Harley smacked them with a pillow. "Enough! Boys!" she said, giggling hysterically. "Yea!" Lina giggled. "Admit it! You think it's sexy" Brendon teased. "Not really." She laughed. "I know something you WOULD think is sexy" Ryan said playfully. "What'd that be?" She asked and raised an eyebrow.
"God, please don't make out. Please!" Harley said, covering her eyes. Lina covered hers to and shook her head, "Don't that'd be disturbing." "But sexy" Brendon said, grinning at Ryan. "Don't worry, I won't make out with him. Promise." Ryan told the girls. "Good." Lina said, uncovering her hands. "I'll make out with him though" Brendon said, leaning forward quickly, but Ryan ducked. "After you tried to squeeze me to death earlier?! I think not" "Harley? What have we gotten ourselves into." She sighed, shaking her head. She just shook her head. "And when you guys happen to see one of those stories about you, you complain!" she said, rolling her eyes. "It's your own fault. If you weren't dating us, I'd think you were gay" "I probably would too. They bring it upon themselves." She giggled. "There's no probably about it! I have my doubts right now" she said. "Yeah, and the best part about this is that you're completely serious" Brendon teased. "Serious conversation!" Lina giggled. "I am serious!" Harley insisted.
Ryan rolled his eyes and pulled her down on his lap, kissing her hard on the mouth. "I'm straight. I promise" he said, grinning at her. "Now Brendon...I'm worried about." Lina said and leaned away from Brendon playfully. He grabbed her and kissed her too. "I promise! I'm 99% straight" "Uh huh." She said playfully. "Okay, I'm straight, with Ryan as an exception" he relented. "Brendon! She's going to think you're serious" Ryan said, kicking him playfully. "I'm not THAT stupid!" She defended. "I am serious" he said darkly, licking Ryan's elbow when it came near him. "Hey!" Ryan said, wiping it off on Lina's shirt. "Gross Bren" "He's icky." She sighed, shaking her head. "You like it when I lick you!" Brendon protested, making a sad face. She gave him a weird look and shook her head no, "Not really." She said smiling. He stuck his lip out. "I'm never doing it again then" he said. "You never have?" She said raising her eyebrow. "Yes I have" he said, grinning evilly. "I don't recall." She said, rolling her eyes. "Hmm I'll have to remind you then" he said, grinning. "Not here!" She said laughing. "Later" he said, winking.
"Hey!" Ryan said, making a puppy face at him. "Oh shit. Sorry Ry. Maybe tomorrow night" Brendon said, shrugging. "Dorks." She laughed. "I hate you!" Ryan cried, throwing a pillow at Lina and burying his head in the couch. "Boo Hoo." She said monotone and smiled. "I really hate you" he sniffed. "You took my Brendon away! I KNEW there was a reason you wanted to get rid of me earlier!" "Crikey." She said grinning. "Aw, it's okay Rybaby" Harley said, rubbing his back. "You've still got me" "Yea! You took Harley away from me so we're even Cat Woman!" she said. "I'm going to scratch your eyes out" Ryan muttered, cuddling up against Harley's side. "I'm scared." She giggled. "You should be" he murmured sleepily, pulling Harley down to lay on the floor with him. "Dude let's get some blankets if we're all going to lay on the floor and screw around" Brendon said, getting up and pulling Ryan with him. "Come help me" "They are dorks." Lina giggled and rolled her eyes at Harley. Harley nodded. "But I love them" she said quietly. "They're the best dorks to know" "Yes, they are that too." She laughed.
"I'm so stupid" she said, resting her head on her arms. "Why?" She asked raising her eyebrow. "I just am. I always have been" she said. "Not really. I don't see how." she said seriously. "I am. I'm an idiot. A stupid idiot" she said, closing her eyes. "You're smarter than me so you're not an idiot dear." She said smiling slightly. "Then why is it everyone can lie to me?" she asked, looking up at her. "What do you mean?" She asked. "Everyone lies to me. Braxton, Pete, everyone. And I never see it coming. I never learn. I think that qualifies me as stupid" she said. "No. It doesn't." She sighed not really sure what to say. She opened her mouth to answer but shut it again when the guys came back with blankets. "Get up silly" Brendon said cheerfully, laying the blankets out like a little pallet on the floor. "Okay, now you can lay down" "Yay!" Lina said happily and laid down on the pallet first. Harley laid down too. "So what should we do now?" Brendon asked, flopping down with a bunch of pillows beside them. "I don't know." Lina sighed.
"Let's watch a movie" Ryan suggested. "Again. What else do we have?" "I don't know, someone else pick something or we will be forced to watch Nemo." She said smiling. "Not Nemo again!" Ryan said, rolling his eyes. "The only movie we have left is Material Girls" Brendon said, rolling his eyes. "Pop it in and turn the lights off" Ryan said. Brendon put the movie in and turned all the lights off, laying back down on the pallet. "Whoop! Movie!" She cheered. Halfway through the movie, they were getting more than bored. "Dude, the actress in this sucks" Brendon said sleepily. "Agreed" Ryan yawned. "Isn't it Hillary Duff?" Harley questioned. "I think so" Brendon said, squinting his eyes at the TV. "Ack." Was all Lina muttered and crossed her arms over her face. "Dude, this movie is gay" Ryan said, stretching.
When the end credits started rolling, no one moved to shut the movie off. Because they were all asleep. Lina was passed out with her head on Brendon's chest and her legs across Ryan's. Harley was laying on Ryan's stomach with her legs across Brendon, and Brendon had his face buried in Ryan's shoulder, snoring quietly.
Lina rolled over the next morning and didn't fall out of the bed she was sleeping in for once, "Morning guys." She thought silently. Harley opened her eyes a few minutes after Lina and looked around her. "What happened to the movie?" she asked quietly. "Um...Not sure." Lina whispered back tiredly. She looked at Brendon and Ryan and smiled, leaning over to kiss Ryan's cheek lightly. "They're so much more loveable when they're like this" she whispered teasingly. Lina smiled at Harley and nodded her head, "Yea." She said. "They're much quieter too" she said seriously. She widened her eyes and nodded again, "That's for sure." She said smiling. "I miss times like these" she admitted quietly. "Yea...thank god we still have them." She said smiling. "Once and a while" she nodded, smiling at the boys again. "I just miss being close to all you guys. Everything lately seems to be tearing us apart. Even if we came on this trip to be closer together"
Lina nodded and sighed quietly and then started laughing quietly. "What?" she asked, confused. "I just remembered that one time we were in that restaurant and I stole their spoon and then called it spoony and I was making out with it in the car." She giggled. Harley grinned. "I remember that too. That was the first day we met these guys" she said softly. She nodded and smiled, "And then Brendon called me spoon girl." She said grinning. "Yep" she said, smiling. "And then you kissed him. And then you guys got on me and Ryan for being close like we were. God, I remember it well. That was when Pete was in the hospital" "Yea...big memories." She whispered looking up at the still sleeping Brendon. "Yeah" she said, sighing. "Like I said, I miss those times" "Yea." Lina agreed and nodded.
"Remember at Christmas?" Lina giggled. "God, do I ever. Christmas break was one of the most...eventful weeks of my life" she said, grinning. "Oh yea." Lina said giggling, "I loved the presents part." Harley giggled too. "I wonder if Brendon kept his..." "I don't know, I'll have to ask." She grinned. "I don't know why he wouldn't. When would Brendon Urie ever get rid of a perfectly good sex toy?" she whispered, giggling harder. "A light up one for that matter." She giggled. "Yeah, that too" she giggled. "God, see what I mean?! How do we get back to that?" "I'm not sure." She said thoughtfully. "We need to talk to the guys about that. I mean it. I want to be back where we were then, where we all got along and actually had fun together, instead of just crying and keeping secrets." "Yea, when shall we do that?" She asked. "When they wake up" she said, laying her head back down. "For now, I'm comfortable how I am" "Same." She said softly and looked up at Brendon again.
"We're lucky bitches." She said and grinned. "How do you figure?" Harley asked, raising an eyebrow. "We've got them." She whispered simply and smiled. She smiled. "Yeah, we do. And we are. It's hard to remember what my life was like before I met them" she whispered back. "Um...I don't know if I WANT to look back on that." She said truthfully and closed her eyes with a smile still on her face. "Me neither" she admitted. "I like it much better now, even with all the drama it brought along" "It gets solved and most of it's for the better." She said opening her eyes lazily. "That's true" she replied. "Hey, they give us something to do. It's never boring when they're around" "Very true." She said grinning, "You're never bored if you're alone with them either." "You mean YOU aren't" she teased. "Hey!" She said playfully and sighed tiredly, "I'd go back to sleep but I don't think I could for once." "I couldn't. Truthfully, I'd rather watch him sleep" she said, nodding to Ryan, still sleeping soundly, even with Brendon snoring into his shoulder.
"His snore." Lina giggled and then rolled her eyes, "Think of how many girls would rip us to shreds." "No kidding" she said, smiling. "If they only knew..." "Hmm...I don't know if they'll know but then again we never know." She said, making a confused face at her words. "I just...kind of confused myself what the hell." Harley grinned. "That sounds like lyrics or something" she said quietly. She thought about and smiled, "It sort of does." She said, nodding. "I think I'll use that, sometime" she said casually, shifting carefully so she didn't wake up Ryan. "They're so innocent like this" she whispered. "Yea, and then they wake up and it's like BAM!" She said quietly. "Yeah, if you can call constantly talking about fucking, making out, and dirty shit BAM, then yeah" she said, holding in a giggle. She giggled quietly and rolled her eyes, "It's funny though, we laugh at it so it's entertaining." She whispered. "Yeah, never boring when they're around" she agreed. "But honestly, even with all their hitting on each other, actually hitting each other, and screwing around, they're pretty hard not to love"
She nodded and smiled up at the sleeping Brendon and Ryan, "Yea, they're those people that you can't help but love." "Of course" she said, pushing Brendon's hair off of his face. "Habit" she explained. "It bothers me when people have their hair all in their face" "It turns me on." She joked. She rolled her eyes. "Of course" she replied. Brendon shifted a little in his sleep, rolling over before readjusting his head on Ryan's shoulder. Harley stayed silent for a few seconds, then giggled quietly. "That's so cute" "Now I've got to get comfy again." Lina sighed quietly and rolled her eyes before she squirmed so she wouldn't wake them up, "Comfortable now." She whispered. "I can't believe we're actually here" Harley said quietly. "We're here, with them, sleeping next to us. It's...pretty creepy, because it feels normal" "I know..."Lina agreed in a whisper, "To think we went from watching them on Youtube in concert and now were here." She said, smiling. "Yeah, but now we sound like fan girls" she said, making a face. "Honestly, I forget who they actually are sometimes. To me, they're just like any other people who become friends who become family" She nodded and smiled, "Yea, they're like the people you feel like you've known them forever."
She nodded in agreement. "I guess you could say we've been through hell and back with them" "Oh yea." She agreed and nodded her head. "Hmm what're you talking about?" Ryan asked sleepily, opening his eyes and looking around. "Stuff." Lina answered quietly. "Morning sleepy" Harley said, smiling at him. "You've apparently acquired a new limb" He glanced at Brendon sleeping on his shoulder and patted him lightly on the head. "He's a cute little addition, don't you think" Ryan said playfully. "He's a growth." Lina said. "Yeah, but I'm used to it" he said, rolling his eyes. "I don't see how my shoulders are comfortable, but apparently he thinks they are." "He thinks everything's comfortable probably." She said. "Yeah but his shoulders are bony" Harley teased. "I wouldn't sleep on them either" "I don't think I would either." She admitted. "Thanks guys. Thanks a lot" Ryan said, sounding wounded. "What time is it anyway?" "I don't know and I could care less." She said simply. Harley looked up at the clock on the wall. "I think it says 9:45. I can't tell for sure though" she said, squinting. "My contacts are all screwed up from sleeping in them" "Nice." Lina said and yawned.
"Well we did fall asleep during the movie" she reminded her. "Yea, I remember that." she said and nodded. "I wonder how long he'll sleep" Harley said, glancing at Brendon. "Because none of us can really get up without waking him up" "We could wake him now?" Lina asked. "Nah, let him sleep" Ryan said. "He was pretty worn out yesterday" "Damn." She sighed unhappy that they couldn't wake him up, "Oh well." "We won't let him sleep too much longer" Ryan said, a glint of amusement in his eye. "Yay!" She whispered happily. "So what were you talking about?" he asked curiously. "Life before we met all you guys." She said smiling. "Who are you kidding?" he teased. "You didn't have a life before you met me!" "So full of yourself." She teased. "Oh I know" he said, shaking his head. "It's a curse, you understand" "Uh huh." She said rolling her eyes. "Yeah, some curse" Harley teased, playing with a piece of his hair that kept falling over his eyes.
"Remember the gills Harley?" Lina giggled. "Oh my god, please, don't bring it up" she said, rolling her eyes and giggling. "I can't help it. I was so freaking hyper when I made that face." She giggled. "Yeah, and continued to make it for the next week" Ryan said, smiling. "I think I'm going to start making it again." She decided and grinned, "I haven't had hot chocolate or coffee in a while either." "And that is a very, very good thing" Harley said. "No it's not. I've got to get hyper sometime on this trip. I've got to." She said grinning evilly. "I'm scared" she groaned, hiding her face in Ryan's stomach. "Oh, you should be. I've made plans to shove a banana up your ass sideways." she said, grinning. "Right, I totally forgot about those plans" she said, shaking her head and hiding still. "Brendon's so lucky he's asleep through this" "He's missing out on the reminiscing." She said smiling "Yeah, and the abuse" he snorted. "I'm drinking some hot chocolate today, I can guarantee you it." Lina said. "Not if we didn't bring any" Harley whispered, grinning. "Maybe I brought some in my bag." She said "Dude....super tampon."
Harley giggled, burying her face in Ryan's stomach again so she didn't wake Brendon up. "That was about the funniest thing you've ever done" Lina nodded her head and was still giggling quietly, "I think of the stupidest shit ever sometimes." "Yeah, but it made me feel better" she said, shrugging. "See, I had jell-o in my system when I did that. So Jell-O, coffee, and hot chocolate and Brendon sometimes makes me hyper." She said smiling. "Hmm?" Brendon asked sleepily. "Are you talking about me?" His voice was muffled since his face was still pressed into Ryan's shoulder. "Nope." She said smiling. "Morning Bren" Harley said, smiling at him. "You drooled on my shoulder dude" Ryan deadpanned, earning a snort from Brendon. "Not sorry" he said sleepily. "Yummy." Lina said and giggled. "Yeah, so you pretty much owe me a new shirt" Ryan said. "Ha!" She said smiling. "It's not like you wear it anyway" Brendon said, nuzzling into Ryan's neck and getting comfortable again. Harley grinned. "I wore it yesterday Bren" Ryan sighed. "So obviously I do wear it." "Yeah, whatever" Brendon said, closing his eyes.
"Since he's up now are we going to do something?" Lina asked. "Brendon. Are you actually planning on joining the world of the living anytime soon?" Ryan asked sarcastically. Brendon shook his head, and Ryan spit out a piece of his hair. "Thanks. I needed that" he said, rolling his eyes and nudging Brendon off of him. "Hey!" Brendon whined, immediately curling up on him again. "Brendon, get your ass up." Lina giggled and poked his stomach. Harley giggled. "Is he always this clingy when he first wakes up?" she asked them. "I wake up after him so I wouldn't know." Lina giggled. "He is" Ryan said, pushing Brendon off again. "Come on, get up you lazy ass" "Or I will drink hot chocolate." She threatened. He opened one eye lazily and shrugged, closing it again and latching himself onto Ryan's arm, refusing to let go. "That means hyper annoying Lina for a whole week." She reminded. He shrugged again, still holding on to Ryan's arm despite Ryan's attempts to free himself. "I'll annoy him the most." She said smiling, "I'm making coffee, screw you guys." Brendon groaned when Ryan kicked his head. "Get up!" he said firmly, pulling his arm away from Brendon. "Fine" he grumbled, sitting up. "Ha, now you know how I feel." Lina said from the doorway with a coffee mug in her hands. "Yeah, sure" he said, rolling his eyes. "Do we have to discuss the 5 years versus less than 1 year thing again?" "No." Lina giggled. "Yeah, so don't give me none of your crap" he said, standing up and going to the kitchen, coming back a few minutes later with some orange juice.
"You suck, coffee is so much cooler." She said playfully and took a drink of her coffee. "And turns your teeth yellow" he said, making a face at her. "I brush my teeth enough." She said shrugging her shoulders. "Yeah, I guess you would have to" he teased. "Yep." She said rolling her eyes and grinned. "So I guess you're allowed to drink coffee" he decides, going to sit on the couch. "You've got to be kidding me!" he said, rolling his eyes. Harley shrugged. "He just laid down on my lap and went back to sleep" she said, glancing down at Brendon, sleeping peacefully again. "He's never usually tired." Lina said, raising her eyebrow. "Well, we did get tired yesterday" Harley said. "Rock climbing. It's hard work!" "Never been." She said, smiling. "Yeah, well when you're with Brendon it's not exactly normal" She said, smiling slightly. "I wouldn't expect it to be." She smiled and took another drink of her coffee. "Most of the time I was actually concentrating on not falling because I was laughing so hard" she admitted. "What the hell was he doing?" She asked. "Being himself" she said, rolling her eyes. "Only this time I kind of could've died because he was, but whatever" "Wow." She said and giggled.
"Come ON Brendon, get up already" she said, pulling his hair. "You're not sleeping in my lap all day" "Why?" he whined. "Because then we can't go do something." Lina sighed. He grumbled a bit, but sat up, rubbing his eyes. "So morning" he said, yawning and stretching. "Good morning." She giggled. "It's only like 10:30! You totally could've let me sleep longer" he said, glaring at them. "Nope." She said evilly. "I'm up now anyway" he said, stretching again. "I'm getting in the shower" "After me you mean" Ryan said, jumping up and sprinting to the bathroom again, barely beating Brendon and slamming the door. "Asshole!" Brendon said, banging on the door once. Brendon leaned against the door, obviously thinking hard. "What are you thinking about Brendon?" She asked, raising her eyebrow at him. He waved his hand, still thinking. "Hmm...alright then." She said shrugging her shoulders and sat down next to Harley on the couch. He grinned suddenly and turned around, pressing his ear against the door.
When he heard the water turn on, he turned the doorknob and flung the door open, running back into the room and holding in laughter. "Brendon! Get your ass back here!" Ryan yelled from in the bathroom. "Okay okay, Jesus, let me at least get naked first Ross" Brendon called. "Not funny. Come close the stupid door" Ryan called, hiding when Brendon came over and shut it. "You really should lock it next time" he said cheerfully. "You just wait" Ryan muttered. "That was mean!" Lina said laughing. "I know" he said, shrugging. "But I had to get him back for taking the shower first" "Wow, real nice." She said rolling her eyes. "So anyway, what are we doing today" he asked, sitting on the couch beside them. "Umm...not too sure on that yet." She said, looking at Harley. She shrugged too. "Not a clue" "Damn." She sighed, taking another drink of her coffee. "Let's make the other 4 actually include us in their fun today" Brendon suggested. "Sounds good I guess." She agreed. "So did we fall asleep watching the movie last night" he asked, popping his neck. She nodded. "No wonder my neck feels like I slept looking straight up" he grumbled.
"It's Ryan's damn bony shoulders" Harley explained knowingly. "What about me?" Ryan asked, coming out finally. "Nothing" Brendon said, running to the bathroom and slamming the door. Ryan threw it open a few seconds later, and Brendon huffed and closed it again. "You really should lock it next time" Ryan mimicked sweetly. "Oh nice." Lina giggled. "I know. I am" he said, coming out to sit by them. "That shirt looks a little big on you" Harley commented. "It's Brendon's" he said without looking up. "I said he owed me one" "Dweeb." Lina said, smiling. Once they were all out of the shower, Brendon suggested they go wake up the other 4. "That sounds like fun." She said smiling, "Lets gooo!" "You gooo!" Ryan mimicked lazily, sprawled out on the couch still. "I can't wake them all up myself." She sighed. "Go bang on the door, they'll get up" Harley said. Brendon tugged her down into his lap. "Noo make Ryan do it! Sit with me" he whined. "I doubt he wants to do it." She replied with a sigh. "I'll do it" he groaned, getting up and going to bang on their door.
"Get the fuck up lazy asses! You slept all day yesterday!" he called cheerfully. "Ow! Hey!" He came back out, pouting and rubbing his arm. "Jackass" he muttered. "Thank god I didn't go do it." She said, looking at the red mark on his arm. "Aw, whassa matter baby?" Brendon cooed, pulling him down on the couch beside them. "Jackass hit me with the door" Ryan grumbled. "Aw, let me help" Brendon said, leaning down and kissing his arm. "Idiot" Ryan said, rolling his eyes and pulling his arm away. "Dorks." Lina said grinning. "Are they getting up" Brendon asked, ignoring Lina and her comment. "I don't know, I doubt it" Ryan said, still pouting. "What the hell are we going to do then?" She asked. "I don't know, I'm too damn tired to do anything" Harley said, squished to the back of the couch by the rest of them. "Damn, so we're just going to sit here for the rest of the day?" She asked, "Sounds good to me." "Can I be un-squished first?" Harley asked. "Sure." Lina said adjusting herself. "Thanks" she said, shifting so her elbow was on top of Brendon's leg. "Okay. Better" "Good." She said.
"Lets go fishing." Lina suggested randomly. "I don't think we have anything to fish with here" Brendon said, rolling his eyes. "Just suggesting." She said smiling, "Do we have a big tube thingy?" "Probably somewhere" he said, sitting up. "Why?" "Well if we've still got the boat we could go tubing." She suggested. "Pete's the only one who knows how to drive it" he said. "So if you get him up we could" "Alright." She said and got up, "I will try." "Wakey Wakey!" She said as she knocked on the door. "What the fuck do you want, you fucking sex-addicted teenager" he yelled from inside. She rolled her eyes at the door and sighed, "We want to go tubing but we don't know how to operate the boat, but you do. So can you get your asses up and we can all have some fucking fun?" She asked. "Nope. Get someone else to do it" he grumbled. "Get your lazy fucking ass up ass whole." She yelled. "Fuck off!" he yelled back. "I'm not fucking hanging out with a bunch of fucking horny teenagers all day! Kiss my ass!" "Fine then, if we wreck the boat we'll blame it on you." She said trying to push the comments aside. "I hope you fucking do" he grumbled. "God you're an ass." She muttered, "Fine, have fun paying for the damage since you rented it." "I didn't" he yelled back. "I borrowed it from a friend, he won't mind. Let Ryan drive, maybe he'll die when you wreck it" "Quit being an ass." She yelled back, "Fine, we'll have fun where's the keys or whatever?" "Up my ass" he yelled back. "You called me an ass, find them yourself" "Fine." She said and went back out to the living room, "he's being an ass so we're just going to have to find out how to drive it ourselves. It can't be to hard." She sighed to the others.
"It probably is, but we can try" Brendon said cheerfully. "What did he do?" "Just told me to fuck off and all that shit." She said rolling her eyes, "The keys are in the kitchen, I saw him put them down on the counter the other day." She said and went into the kitchen and came back with the key in her hand. "Lets get ready and go!" "Alright, we'll go change" Ryan said, dragging Brendon off to the room. "hurry up!" She said and smiled. "We are" they yelled in unison. "This should be fun." She said to Harley with a smile. "Yeah" she said distractedly, staring out the living room window. "What's up?" She asked. "Just...shit" she said, shrugging. "Want to talk?" She asked her. "We heard every word he said" she told her. "It wasn't like he was being quiet" She nodded and looked down at the floor, "He's just a fucking ass hole, I'm just going to try not to let it ruin this." She sighed. "Me either" she said, biting her lip. "I love Ryan. I wish Pete would just get the fuck over that already" "He's a crazy ex." She sighed "Obviously" she said, glaring at their door. "I hate him" "I do not blame you." she said. She opened her mouth to answer, but the guys came back out, and instead of finishing, she went past them into their room to change. When they were done, they came out, Harley with a quiet sigh, and headed down to the lake.
"Alright, lets somehow operate this thing without making it sink." She said once they'd found a tube and were on the boat. "I'm more worried about crashing than sinking, but whatever" Brendon said, grinning. "Either one." She replied. "I'll try to drive" Brendon volunteered. "Whoever wants to dare ride first" "Ill go first!" Lina volunteered and waved her hand in the air. "I will" Ryan said, smiling slightly. "If someone's going to get hurt with Bren driving, I'd rather it be me" "Fine then." She said, sticking her tongue out at him. Brendon tied a knot around the tube and let Ryan get in it, then started spinning around the lake at insanely high speeds, until Ryan was yelling at him to slow down before he died, and then falling off into the lake. Brendon laughed evilly, slowing down so he didn't hit him with the boat. "Me next?" Lina asked. Ryan came up and Brendon hauled his ass up onto the boat. "You DICK!" Ryan accused, punching his stomach. Brendon doubled over and tried to catch his breath. Once he did, he went back to the edge where Harley and Lina were and stopped. "Yeah, you can go next" he told Lina. "Yay!" She said happily and got down onto the tube. "I'll be nicer to you" he said, pushing Ryan off the boat and then going with Lina, not going quite as fast.
"You're an ass sometimes Brendon!" She laughed when he turned around. "You love my ass all the time though!" he said hyperly, turning sharply. "I can't believe I haven't crashed yet" "I can't believe I haven't fallen off yet." She said to herself. A few seconds later though, she did fall off, and Brendon clapped happily. She laughed when she got back on the boat and sighed with a grin, "That's so fun. I haven't done this since I was little. It's a freaking blast." She said happily. "Yeah" he agreed, going back to the edge again. "You coming Harley?" he called. She shook her head. "I don't think so...I don't feel so good" she said, almost too quietly to hear. "Okay...if you're sure" he said, looking at her carefully. She nodded. "Okay, then get your ass over here Ryan! I want to go!" Brendon said, jumping off the boat. "Yea Ryan, go drive." Lina said smiling. "I am" he said, getting up and going over to the boat, letting Brendon get situated before tearing off, even faster than Brendon had gone with him. "Hang on!" Lina laughed at Brendon. "I am!" Brendon yelled back, laughing hysterically as water sprayed him. "Hang on for your life." She said to Harley and smiled.
Harley smiled back weakly, her chin resting on her knees as she looked out over the water, looking through the guys in the boat. "You alright?" Lina asked concerned. She shook her head. "I will be" she sighed. "Just don't feel that great" "Alright." She said giving her a small smile. She did end up riding once, later, but for the most part just sat on the edge. Brendon finally got bored, and ran up on the sand with them. "Know what?" he said hyperly. "I got an idea" "What would your idea be?" Lina asked, raising an eyebrow. "Let's have, like, a campfire, or something, tonight!" he said, proud of himself for coming up with it. "That sounds like fun!" She said happily. "See! Told you it was a good idea" he said happily. "You're a dork." She sighed and smiled. "Ry-Ry!" Brendon yelled, grabbing Ryan by his arm and pulling him over. "Let's have a campfire!" "Okay, Bren-Bren" Ryan mimicked, smiling. "We can have yummy S'mores." She said bouncing up and down. "Yeah!" Brendon said, bouncing with her. Harley grinned. "You are both idiots" she declared "Hyper idiots." Lina said, grinning
"But it's fun. So let's go get stuff ready. It's like 5. Why don't we just cook stuff on the fire! Like real mountain people!" Harley said, mocking their hyperness and squealing. "Dork." Lina said, grinning. "But seriously. We could" she said, calmly this time. "It'd be something to do." She said and shrugged her shoulders. "Let's do it!" Brendon suggested hyperly. "Do we have hot dogs and hamburgers inside?! I could cook those!" "Hell NO you won't!" Ryan protested. "You burn water Bren. Who are you kidding?" Brendon grinned sheepishly. "Okay...I could watch while you cook them?" he asked. Ryan rolled his eyes. "I guess" he replied. "That sounds better." She said. "Then let's go get changed and start on that" Brendon said hyperly. "I call shower first!" Harley yelled, running into the house. "Second!" Lina yelled after her. When Harley got out, she looked like she didn't feel quite as sick. "Your turn" she said. "Yes!" Lina said and grabbed her clothes before she ran into the bathroom to take her shower. She came back out a little bit later and sat down on the couch, "I'm out. Someone else can take one now." She said smiling. Brendon got in, and then Ryan, and then they started searching for food to cook.
"Dude! Chocolate, gram crackers, and freaking marshmallows!" She said happily when she found all three of those items, "S'mores bitches." "Freaking yummy!" she said, searching for hot dogs. "The coolest snack ever." She said, grinning and continued to look for some other things. Once they found them all, they went outside and started looking for a place where they could build a fire. "You'd think they'd have a fire pit or something around the cabin." Lina sighed. "A fire pit?" Brendon asked, raising an eyebrow at her. "Yes, a fire pit." She said simply. "Whatever. Let's just make a freaking hole and start a fire in there" he said, jumping around some more. "That sounds good I guess." She said. "Yep" he said, making a hole with his hands. Once he deemed it deep enough, he dragged Ryan along with him to go look for firewood. "Woo, this should be great." She said to Harley. She nodded, a half smile on her face. "I guess so" she sighed. "You still feeling a little sick?" She asked. "You could say that" she said, grabbing a chair from the side of the house and sitting on it. "That's not good..." She sighed and sat down on the ground, "I'm not afraid to get a little dirty."
She managed a half-hearted smile at that, tracing circles in the dirt with her foot. "Look, a stick." Lina said, being easily amused as usual. She sighed. "Yeah...a stick. Great" she replied softly. "Are you sure you're alright?" she asked and poked her in the leg softly with the stick. "No" she replied, tracing more circles in the dirt. "Will you please tell me what's wrong?" She asked her, concerned. "I'm just worried" she sighed. "About the Ryan and Pete issue?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yes" she said quietly. "Ryan is so fucking mad about what I told you last night...and he wants to do something about it...and I know if Pete keeps provoking him he will..." "Pete's being an arrogant asshole." Lina muttered under her breath. "I know" she said softly. "But Ryan's falling for it, and that's exactly what he wants..." "How about we stay as far away from Pete for the rest of our lives?" She asked her. "Like we could manage that" she said, sighing. "It wouldn't work...but thanks for trying I guess"
"Well.....we could try to avoid Pete the best we can. Or just try to keep the from kicking the shit out of each other for as long as we can." Lina suggested. "I'm already trying...but Ryan's pretty hot-headed when it comes to Pete..." she said softly. "I'm glad I have him to protect me, God, you know I am, but I don't want him to get hurt! Pete's an asshole, and I know if they get into it, he's going to hurt Ryan" "Yea...I don't think that'd be a good outcome." She agreed, making squiggles in the dirt with the stick. "But that won't stop him from trying" she admitted. "Ah...damnit." She muttered, "So confusing." "I just...I can't have him get hurt. Especially not because of me" she said, eyes glistening. "Don't worry Harwee." She said and leaned over and hugged Harley's leg. She smiled, a single tear slipping down her cheek. "I just worry too much" she sighed. "It's alright." She said, still hugging her leg. "Hey, I love you too and all, but can you get off of my leg?" she asked, twitching slightly. "I like hugging your leg." She giggled. "Wait did you say hugging or humping?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Hugging." She said, rolling her eyes. "Just making sure..." she said, sighing quietly.
"Unless you want me to start humping your leg..." She suggested. "If you want" she said, grinning. She looked up at her and grinned, "I'll do it later, don't want to get caught." "I'll hold you to it" she said with a straight face. "You do that." She said back. Brendon came bounding back. "We found some!" he said hyperly. "Remind me again why I have to carry it all?" Ryan grumbled playfully. "Just because is what I'm guessing." She said grinning and letting go of Harley's leg. "Because I love you!" Brendon declared, hugging Ryan again, making him drop all the firewood. "The spontaneous hugs have got to stop Bren, seriously" he groaned. Lina giggled and rolled her eyes, "Expect it from him." She sighed. "I've learned to" he sighed. "That's just Brendon." She giggled. "Sure" he said, rolling his eyes. "Can we go get the other 4 now? Since we should be nice and at least tell them that they can come out too..." "Why?" She sighed. "Because. They'll get mad if we don't" he said sternly. "So." She said under her breath, "I guess we should..." "Don't pout. Just come with me to tell them" he said, pulling her up. "Fine." She sighed and went with him reluctantly.
"Come on doggie, don't pout" he said, patting her on the head. She sighed and smiled slightly, "I'm not a dog Ryan." She said smiling. "Yes you are, doggie. Now come on" he commanded, pulling her with him. "I should hurt you." She sighed. "But you won't" he said smoothly, knocking on the door to their room. "Guys? Are you up?" he called. "Hang on" A few seconds later, Audrey opened the door. "Hey Li, Hey Ryan. What's up?" she asked. "Nothing much. We're going to have a little campfire and if you guys want you can come too." She explained, grateful that Audrey answered the door. "Sweet!" Kaylynn said happily, jumping up behind Audrey. "We'll be out in a little bit" Audrey promised, shutting the door again. "Alright." Lina said to the door and went back outside with Ryan. "They coming?" Brendon asked hyperly, trying to start a fire with two sticks. "It's called a lighter cave man." She laughed "And yes" "Shut up! I want to do it this way!" he whined, heartbroken. "Fine." She said, shaking her head.
"Bren?" Harley finally said from the chair, biting her lip to hold in giggles. "Can I help you babe?" Brendon sighed, handing her the sticks. She took out a lighter and lit them before he could protest. "Okay, all better" she said, handing them back to him to finish. He glared at her, but put the sticks in the hole and put some more wood around it. "Finally." Lina giggled. "I was having way more fun doing it my way" he grumbled, pouting. Harley giggled and tucked a piece of hair behind his ear. "It's okay baby, you can help Ryan cook, okay?" she said, in a voice that very much resembled a kindergarten teacher. "Expect burnt ness." Lina said, grinning. Brendon stuck his lip out even farther, and his eyes were watering. "Boo Hoo." she teased playfully. Brendon turned around and buried his face in Ryan's lap, sobbing loudly. "Cry little fly, cry." She said evilly. "I hate you" he whimpered, blowing his nose on Ryan's pants. "That's disgusting dude" Ryan said, rolling his eyes. "Ah! Sick!" She sighed, rolling her eyes. Brendon sniffed again, and Ryan patted his head. "Shhh, it's okay Bren-Bren" he said, sticking his lip out too. "Oh god." She sighed at Harley playfully.
Harley smiled. "Aw, it's okay baby, you can come sit by us if you want" she said, patting the space between her and Ryan on their huge chair. Brendon sniffed and crawled up by them, burying his face in Ryan's neck again. Ryan rolled his eyes and looked pointedly at Lina. "What?" She asked innocently. He patted Brendon on the head again, still watching her. "What'd I do?" She asked, grinning. "You should say sorry" Harley prompted, rubbing Brendon's back consolingly. She raised an eyebrow at them and sighed quietly, "Sorry Bden." He sniffed again. "S'okay. I mostly wanted a hug from Ryan anyway" He pulled Ryan's hair playfully and jumped down off his lap. Harley giggled, shaking her head. "Wow." She said and then giggled. "I know, I'm a hug-whore. What can I say?" he asked innocently, batting his eyelashes. "Not much apparently." She said playfully. He stuck his lip out again. "That wasn't nice" he said. "I'm just playing." She said smiling. "You don't play well with others" he said sadly. "You should know." She said shrugging her shoulders. "That's okay though. Ryan doesn't either" he said, a slight smirk on his face. "Oh jeesh." She said and laughed. "Nope. I'm too vicious" Ryan agreed. She looked over at Harley and just grinned while she shook her head, "Just wow guys." She sighed.
"Oh yeah, you're totally vicious. An evil, conniving teddy bear" Harley said, grinning at him and ruffling his hair. "Isn't he" she said, turning Ryan around to face Lina. "He's a vicious teddy bear" "Oh yea, let me tell you." She said, rolling her eyes. "He's a cute vicious teddy bear" Brendon said, pinching Ryan's cheek. Ryan slapped his hand away and rubbed his abused cheek. "Ow! Motherfucker" "Evil little bastard." Lina said to Brendon and giggled "Isn't he though" Ryan said mournfully, hiding his face from Brendon. "I'm never showing my face again." "But. But...I'D DIE WITHOUT SEEING YOUR FACE!" Brendon cried dramatically. "Drama queen." She giggled. "It's true! Ryan! You can't do that! Your face is the only thing that keeps me going! It's what makes me get up in the morning, and what makes me fall asleep at night! It's all that I have to live for!" he wailed. "Oh! That's nice!" She said, rolling her eyes at him playfully. "I can't help it! I have to tell him how I really feel about his face!" Brendon said dramatically, putting a hand to his forehead. "Gah you're a dummy." She sighed.
"I am not! You can't call me a dummy for being in love!" he argued. "Bren, baby, it would never work out" Ryan said seriously. "Silly people." She laughed. Brendon's mouth dropped open. "W-what?" he asked pitifully. "It wouldn't ever work, baby" Ryan said, shrugging. "Are you breaking up with me?!" Brendon asked, horrified. "We can still be friends" Ryan said apologetically. "You bitch!" Brendon cried, hiding behind Lina. She patted his head affectionately and sighed, "It'll be alright Bden." "I won't ever heal from this" he cried. "You broke my heart, Ryan Ross!" Harley suppressed a giggle, patting Ryan's back. "He'll make it" she whispered seriously. "You broke his little heart." Lina giggled. Ryan shrugged. "He's not the first, and I doubt he'll be the last" he said neutrally. "I really liked him though..." "Oh Diss." She said and grinned. "I'm a heartbreaker by nature, what can I say?" Ryan shrugged, flashing her a grin. "Just...I'm sorry it had to be you, Bren. You're really cute" "
I'm hungry, when are you two chefs going to make the grub?" She asked. "Whenever Brendon stops sobbing all over himself" Ryan said, smiling slightly. "Brendon, I'm going to starve to death if you and Ryan don't cook up the food." She said smiling. "Do you mind? I'm heartbroken here! Healing cannot be rushed" he sniffed. "Death will happen if food is not cooked." She stated playfully. "I'll just kill myself...I can't live without my Ryan!" he wailed pitifully. She sighed and patted his head again, "It'll hurt for a while." She said sympathetically. "Buck up Bren. He may not love you, but I bet he'll still have casual sex with you" Harley said helpfully. "Really?" Brendon asked, sniffling. Ryan nodded. "Sure, why the fuck not" Brendon grinned and jumped up. "Alright, let's get to cooking, lover boy" Lina giggled and rolled her eyes at Harley, "Just wow." Harley giggled. "You boys be good now" she warned. "We will" Brendon said cheerfully, tearing open a packet of hot dogs with his teeth. "Here, Ry. So how are we going to cook these anyway?" he questioned. "On a stick, my dear" he replied, handing Brendon a stick.
Audrey, Kaylynn, Pete, and Patrick wondered out about that time, bringing the rest of the chairs from the house out and sitting down. "Yummy food." Lina said happily. "Is that all you ever think about Li?" Audrey asked, smiling. "Not ALL the time." She said. "But close enough" Pete finished. "Nummy is about all you ever say. Nummy and dork" "Two favorite words." She said and shrugged her shoulders. "I guess" he teased. "So what are we eating, guys?" "S'mores, hamburgers, and hot doggies." She said happily. "Not anymore" Ryan said, rolling his eyes. "Brendon ruined the hamburgers" He pointed to the ground, where the package sat, open, in the dirt. "It was an accident" Brendon said, pouting. "Damn you!" She sighed. "I didn't mean to" he said, sitting on the ground and crossing his arms. "Oh well." She sighed, rolling her eyes playfully again. He stuck his lip out. "I'm still suicidal" he informed her. "I'm not over it" "I'm sorry." She said monotone. He sniffed. "Someone find me a knife..." he muttered. "Noo, Brendon, noo, you can't do that!" Harley said, sniffing. "We love you too much!" "Seriously!" Lina said sadly. "I don't care. The one that matters doesn't love me!" Brendon cried. "Aw, the rest of us love you, Brennybear!" Harley said, hugging him. "Ryan, you should be ashamed of yourself!"
He hung his head. "Oh, I am. I hate my good looks, and my killer ass. It's a burden" "Dorks." She giggled. "It really is! I mean, people fall for me, but I'm so heartless, I can't love them back" he said, sighing. "So I break their hearts, just like Brendon" Brendon sniffed loudly. Audrey giggled. "What's with you two tonight?" she asked. "Getting in touch with their gay sides" Pete snorted. "Just being retards." Lina sighed, smiling. "I am not!" Brendon argued. "I'm in love, I told you that before!" "Careful Bren, you're going to make your girlfriend jealous, and me possessive" Harley teased. "Hmm...that'd be interesting." She giggled. Brendon stuck his tongue out at her. Harley hooked a finger in the back pocket of Ryan's jeans casually. "And just so we're clear, Brendon" she said teasingly. "This ass is mine" Kaylynn giggled. "Wow Harley." Lina said laughing. Ryan looked down at her and smiled, shaking his head. "It was mine first!" Brendon growled playfully. "But it's mine now" Harley said calmly. "I think this needs to be settled" Patrick deadpanned. "Oh god yes and soon." Lina giggled. "Brendon doesn't stand a chance" Harley scoffed. "Like he could beat me"
