Akira smiled and took a quick glance at the clock then back at Greg and nodded "yea ill talk to you then"she smiled.She gave him a quick hug then left his room.


"w-well...arn't you going to give up too"he questioned looking at his blank stare.He was worried wondering what was wrong with Archie one minute he was all high-per and all smile then a second later he was mad like Travis did something wrong or something.He wanted to ask more but he didn't want his head chopped off by Archie's mood swings so he just waited for him to reply to him.

Greg felt his cheeks warm as she hugged him, and he hugged her back. He watched her walk away and followed and closed the door behind her. Something in his stomach was fluttering, like butterflies. He smiled a little, turning back to his bed. He looked at his clock as he sat on the edge of his bed; it was after nine at night, but he wasn't tired, despite the long day. He grabbed the remote for his television and turned it on, flipping through the channels awhile until he found something decent to watch. He moved back, lying on his bed and propping himself up with pillows. He watched awhile, until he actually did manage to fall asleep.


"To be honest. I don't know yet." he admitted, yawning. he looked at the clock. It was early and he was still ready for bed. He looked away from Travis a moment, blinking. He knew he wasn't being exactly friendly, and he thought Travis should probably know why, "On another note, why does everything always have to be about you?" he asked in a casual voice, but it was slightly detectable the hint of flatness in his voice.

Akira walked into her room and closed the door.She felt her heart start to race once she got inside.She laid down on her bed and started to stare at the ceiling.She was so happy about her date tomorrow that she couldn't even sleep.She wondered why tho.It was nothing special they've gone places together alone before but she never felt so happy like this before. She continued to look at the ceiling until she felt her eyes start to feel heavy to the point where she fell asleep.



Travis was shocked at what Archie had said to him.have to be about me!?...what is he talking about?? he didn't know what he was talking about.He didn't understand what he meant he thought he was being fair with the things he said "huh!?...what are you talking about"he asked curiously

During the night, Greg dreamt of what the date would be like. Since it was one of his dreams, it was a bit trippy and weird, but it wasn't unpleasantly so.
In the morning he woke up and the sun was already up. He looked at the time. Seven-thirty. He pushed himself up off the bed and sat on the edge. He had calls to make for the date, and he had to figure out exactly where they were going. He grabbed some clothes and hopped in the shower. Everyone else's doors were closed, so he assumed everyone else was still asleep. Archie definitely was.


Archie half laughed, "You think you're so much better than I am. Like I'm just the pathetic sidekick who has to follow you around everywhere because you say so. You barely ever let me get a word in edgewise. I'm just getting sick of it." Archie said calmly, looking directly at Travis. It wasn't often he spilled his guts about how he was feeling, but when he did, he got everything out.

Akira kept on waking up every one or two hours during the night then she just finally gave up and woke up.She got up from her bed and scratched her head.She looked over at the clock to see that it was 7:50.Her face brightened and was happy that it was finally tomorrow the day that she would go on a date with Greg.She then quickly started fixing her bed and looked inside her closet wondering what should she wear.

"whoa hold it right there Archie first off i dont think of you lesser than me at all i felt like ive given you a bunch of opportunities for you to speak up and say what you think but all you do is agree with me"he stood up and stared at him "i mean yea i can be cocky once and a while but thats me thats who i am and im not going to change that...and ive said this in the beginning of making the band that if you dont like me then thats fine with me you can take it or leave it"

Greg looked at the time when he got out of the shower and then again when he was ready, seven-fifty-three. He grabbed his shirt from the counter and walked out, letting the steam from the room spill into the hallway. The cooler air hit him and felt nice on his still slightly-wet skin. He walked over to his room, looking at Akira's door. He still had to find someplace she would like. He walked in and grabbed his cellphone straight away and began making the calls. They had to be sure they wouldn't become the next headline in the tabloids by the next day, so he arranged for some privacy, mostly. The privacy could work out several ways: He could have time alone with Akira to figure out if the relationship was going anywhere, and they wouldn't end up in a gossip magazine as "the next big couple".


Archie gave a half laugh, "You let me speak after you've already said everything I possibly could say. That's not very helpful, Travis. I'm not telling you to change who you are, I'm asking you to stop pushing me aside. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't have bothered trying to talk to you about it. We're pretty much best friends, and if I didn't think you'd listen to me, I would be sittin' here like a chick sharing my feelings, yah know?" he said, then looked to the side.
Maybe it was wasted effort after all. He didn't want to piss Travis off, he just wanted him to stop acting like he wasn't worth anything. The way in an argument he always took over, practically taking the words directly out of Archie's mouth, or like when they were trying to spy on Akira and Greg, and after Archie suggested it, Travis took lead on Archie's idea.
He hadn't wanted to go all girlie and have 'share your feelings' talks, but he had something on his chest he though Travis might have wanted to know... But from his reaction, it seemed Travis was just going to argue that what Archie was feeling was his own fault, and that Travis was 'just who he was'. 'Maybe we'd be better off not being so close'Archie thought.

Once Akira had finally picked out something,after about 10 minutes of looking,she decided on wearing a silver and blue star tank top and also picked out her favorite black and sliver wool puffy sweater vest that had long sleeves and a was fuzzy around the hood,she then from her drawers she picked out some dark skinny jeans and some black chucks.

She thought for a moment feeling like she was missing something then remembered her sunglasses just in case the paparazzi would come and ruin their date,but at the same time hoping the paparazzi wouldn't show up at all,but since she couldn't predict the future she placed some BCBG sunglasses near her clothes and grabbed a few black bangles,chains and earrings on her bed.She then grabbed a towel and left her room and took a quick shower.Then once she finished she changed into her clothes and started to fix her make up and hair.

"of course i would listen to you your my closest friend here and better yet your my ally."he smiled "yea...i guess i can lay off talking so much just as long as you speak up more i cant read your mind Archie i don't know when you want to jump in or not im not you"he sighed then sat down right beside Archie.He was happy that Archie was sharing his feelings with him.yea it's kinda corny but how would Travis know about Archie.He couldn't read his thoughts after all.He calmed down a bit and smiled "im glad you told me about this Archie i really am i can't read your mind so sometimes i don't know if im either hurting you or making you smile"

The arrangements were set. Greg had lined up a restaurant where the paparazzi were not likely to show, as it wasn't a place you'd think to typically see rock stars like them go, and also Greg had arranged a false leak about members of the band going out to the amusement park. Of course, he had gotten the idea from the guys and secretly hoped they'd be dumb enough to go on their own. That would create an excellent distraction. After the restaurant, they were going to the movies, but they were going to be going in through the employee entrance, and in the dark of the theatre, no one would recognize them... Greg hoped not, at least. After that, he had one more surprise planned, but he had to wait to get the go-ahead from his contact about it.
That was the easy part though, the hard part was finding something to wear... He already had on dark blue jeans that were slightly baggy- not enough to look like a slob, but enough not to scream "Look at my legs! I'm fabulous!". He needed a shirt that wasn't to dressy and wasn't too casual... And that was where the problem lie... He put on a black wife beater, sure that was going to be worn either way, and started riffling through his closet. In the very back, he found a shirt still in the package, "I forgot about this..." he said, taking it out of the plastic. It was a dress shirt, but it was embroidered with red, blue, gold and silver threads to make a dragon figure appear on it. It was a bit dressier than he had originally intended, but it was an awesome shirt... Also, his parents had bought it for him awhile ago. They'd be happy to know he actually wore it in public, seeing as they had it made for him. If the paparazzi did show, at least he'd look good. Plus, he'd have photographic proof for his parents that he wasn't lying when he said he absolutely loved it. He laughed a little as he put it on and buttoned it up, leaving two buttons open to show his silver dagger necklace on the plain black cord.

Archie laughed, calming down a bit, "Well, sometimes it's like you just talk over me anyway, and others like I said, you already say what I have to say." he watched Travis move next to him, "I can't keep trying to speak up and being shot down time after time. It really starts to suck after awhile." he laughed, even though he thought it was true. His choice of wording had gone back to normal and he didn't sound so much like a girl anymore, so it made him laugh. "You know, it would be REALLY effin' creepy if you could read my mind. There are things in there.... thing-thing." he laughed, then looked at the time, "Shit, you realize it's already morning, right?" he said, looking back at Travis.

Once she was done taking a shower she walked back into her room and started changing.Then looked over at the mirror and started to brush her hair.She wasn't sure what kind of hair style she should have she could simply have her hair down but she didn't want to look too plain but if she had her hair up she felt like she would be too elegant.She just wanted to look casual but not too casual.She sighed and decided on a hair down look.She started to straighten her hair and added little bit of curls in her hair once she was finished she added black polka dotted bow and tilted it on her head.She added some make up then checked herself out in the mirror."hm...i think this looks nice..."she twirled around then left the room.She walked down the stairs and landed on the sofa while she waited for Greg to get out of his room.

Travis laughed "well ill just keep my mouth shut more often so i can give you the chance to speak up"he smiled then scratched his head."well i dont think i would want to read anybody's mind...probably Akira's but other than that im good"he smiled.His eyes widened and looked over at the clock it was already 8:30 "god! we fought that long!we should be in the Guinness book of world records for doing that"he laughed

Greg looked in the mirror on the closet door- the outfit would definitely work. He went to his bureau and began to come and spike his hair in the usual fashion, putting only the necessary amount of gel in it. He hated hair you could poke someone's eye out with.
He didn't want to go downstairs too early, so he even decided a little eyeliner would work. For Greg, this was a long process, considering Akira usually helped him with it because he only ever used it on stage. Now, he was on his own. When he was finished, after poking himself in the eye a few times, he decided he looked good enough to go. Unfortunately, he ended up running down the stairs, late. He looked around and then looked into the living room, "Hey, ready?" he said, smiling, seeing Akira already on the couch.

Archie laughed, "Nah, we've fought longer than that. One of those would definitely be in the book, not this ones. This one definitely was longer than it seemed though." he laughed again. He looked at the clock again, "Do you like Akira?" he asked, "I mean, you've always seemed like brother and sister, but lately you're more attached to her than before..." he smiled, "So, you got a thing for her?"

Akira jumped up and smiled "yep im ready"she said walking towards him.She then noticed that his eyes were a little red.She stared at him for a moment "hey why are you eyes red....wait were trying to put on eyeliner you know i could have helped you"she smiled she then placed her hand closer towards his face and gently rubbed away some of the smearing under his eyes."their your look very nice"she blushed slightly removing her hand away from his face.

Travis laughed and nodded "yea your right"he smiled then looked at him awkwardly and smirked "pfft! you really think that i like Akira"he laughed "i only like her as a sister no more than that...it just really fun ticking her off"he smirked.He then looked at Archie "what about you do you like her as more than a friend Archie"he said nudging his side.

Greg blushed a bit, thought it wasn't something he usually got caught doing, "I didn't think you were ready so I used the extra time to try it on my own..." he smiled a little, looking at the floor. He looked at her when she wiped the smudges away, which he had thought he had gotten, but apparently not, of course. He didn't know how to put make up on, he laughed mentally. "Well, we should get going." he smiled at her.

Archie laughed, "Well, it is really fun to see her annoyed..." he trailed off, then realized the question had been flipped around on him, "Gah! HELL no! EW!" he slapped the air, "Eweweweweweewwwww!!!!" he said.

Akira giggled "aww at least you tried "she smiled.She then nodded "alright then lets get going"she smiled then headed out the door.

Travis started laughing seeing the expression on Archie's face "is she really that horrible"he said between breaths.

Greg laughed, "Yeah, at least I tried." he said walking with her to the door. "I figure we can take my car, so they don't recognize the band car.." he said, knowing she knew who 'they' were, "Is that alright?"

"It's not that she's horrible, it's that she's... too much of a friend to think of that way." he told him, watching with a raised eyebrow as Travis had his laughing fit.

"yea thats sounds perfectly fine with me"she smiled walking towards the garage "i dont want to sound like a fan girl and all...but im soo happy that ill get to spend the whole day with you"she grinned "i know its nothing big and we've been alone together before but...i don't know something about this just makes me soo happy"she smiled brightly looking into his eyes.

"yea i understand what you mean"he smiled "it would be pretty awkward dating her...its like dating your sister...if you have one of course"he sighed "well...i guess we have the whole morning together...what do you want to do"

Greg smiled, "Well, this is different, and I'm happy about it too." he laughed a little, unlocking the car and opening the passanger door for her. He was happy, he felt giddy and a little bit nervous even. It was like a real, normal date.

"IT'D be WORSE than dating your sister." he laughed, "It'd be like dating your mother." he said, for lack or a worse comparison than sister. Then he hopped of the bed and looked around, stretching, "I dunno, what do you want to do?"

Akira smiled and nodded.She got into the car and fastened her seat belt.She then waited for Greg to get into the car.She wondered where he would take her but she knew that the place he would take her would be a good place

"ohhh my god bro dont even mentioned mom thinking about that makes me want to vomit"he groaned falling back on to Archie's bed.he looked at him for a moment then thought "hmm...well we could go to the amusement park....the beach..or maybe even to the movies....i don't know either you choose"he sighed

((ahhh im soo sorry i havent been on for a while iv been busy with school ><
please forgive me D; ))

((It's fine. n_n I understand. =] ))

Greg waited until she was in the car and then closed it, walking around and got in the driver's seat. He backed out and got onto the road, making his way towards their first destination. "So, I thought we'd go out to eat first. That okay?" he asked.

"AMUSEMENT PARK!" Archie said and jumped up and down, ignoring everything else that was said. His eyes widened, "I wanna go on the rolley coasters!"

"yea that sounds perfectly fine im starving"she smiled rubbing her stomach then giggled.She then looked out of the window and stared out of the window.



Travis laughed and nodded "alright then lets go!!!"he said jumping out of Archie's bed then was about to leave his room until he turned back to Archie "alright ill meet you down stairs their are a couple of things i still need to get alright"he said then went into his room.

"So, I know it might be a bit early to say anything like this, considering we need dinner-talk, but, can I ask what you're hoping to get out of today? Exactly?" Greg asked, not wanting to fall into an awkward silence. He noticed her starting to stare out the window and the last thing either of them needed was for things to get awkward.


"Yeah, I'mma hop in the shower though." Archie warned as Travis began to walk out. He grabbed some clothes, not really caring what he wore. They were going to a amusement park, not out on a date or anything, he thought with a laugh. Showering quickly and dressing even quicker, Archie towel dried his hair and hopped down the stairs as he put his wallet in his back pocket and attached the chain to his belt loop.

((ahhh sorry that i havnet been on that much ive been busy with school but now i have some time to rp ^^))

Akira blinked for a moment and looked over at Greg "hmmm well i just want to have a really good time just to get away from the the other too and relax"she smiled."what about you are you expecting anything"she asked curiously.

"yea thats cool with me ill see you in a bit"he said just before leaving Archie's room.He stripped out of his clothes and wore a purple tee-shirt with gray jeans and his black and white checkered vans and started to style his hair into something quick and easy.He grabbed his wallet and slid it in his back pocket then grabbed a sweater and left out of his room.He walked down the stairs and saw Archie."alright your ready right"he said opening the to the garage.

((No problem. =] ))

"Me, nothing. I'm not expecting anything, it's just..." he took a deep breath and began to say what he was thinking out loud, "We're going on this date to see if there's anything solid between us, and it's mostly my fault that we're not sure. Because I don't know how I feel about you just yet. I mean, I've always thought of you as a sister, well... That's not true, I've always tried to think of you as a sister. It made living with you that much less awkward, seeing as you were the only chick in the house. But I don't actually see you that way. And then there are things that made me think I had a crush on you, and I tried telling myself it was just that and it would go away... But it hasn't. So I'm starting to think there's more to it, and I'm not quite sure what it is yet..." he said. He took a deep breath to clear his head. Greg was rambling, and he felt like an idiot for sharing all that he just had, but he was an honest person, so it all just kind of spilled out, "Look, the thing is, I don't want you- or me either- to have any expectations going into this because there's no certainty it'll end up well. I don't wanna hurt you, Akira, and" he gave a small laugh before finishing, "I'd rather not get hurt either, you know?"

"Yup. I'm good to go. We takin' your car, right?" he asked, following Travis out to the garage, "Mine seems to have developed an issue with the radiator, so it's just waiting to blow up." he laughed. He ran his hands through his hair and shook out some of the water that had managed to avoid the towel, while spiking it a bit more at the same time. "Imagine the headlines: Two Stars of Toxic Paint Killed because Car had Short Temper!" he laughed.

Akira blushed seeing Greg babble like that.She thought it was kinda cute but didnt want to say anything about that."its not your fault i mean i dont know how i feel about you either.Like i would try to think of you as a brother but its very hard to picture it..."she placed her hand on his cheek and gently touched it softly."but i understand we are taking a risk about this but life is a risk aren't i right?"she gently pulled her hand away and placed it back on to here side but gave out a warm smile to him.

Travis laughed and shook his head "yea...i dont think i want to be on the news for that so we will be taking my car...maybe later we can get your car fixed somewhere...."he then headed towards his car and got in "alright lets GOO!!!"he smirked punching up in the air ready to leave the place

"well i do like you...but i want to know if i like you like you...you know what i mean"she smiled.It was fun talking to Greg she felt happy that she gets to spend the day with him and away from the other two.


"pfft yea i want to ride every single ride they have and hopefully if their is more time we can ride them twice"he cheered.He then started the car and drove off towards the amusement park. "is their any rides that YOU dont want to ride"
