Lucky and Destiny laughed at Luke. “Oh, man, you are such a trip Luke.”
“Ya know, you are the first person who calls me Luke and has no problem
with it.” Luke said, smilinga at Destiny.
“Yeah, well. You’re just too cool to be old. Mr. Spencer is just way
too formal for a you.” Destiny smiled back at Luke.
Luke nodded. “I happen to agree.” The door opens and Bobbie comes in.
Every one turns to look at her.
“Hate to break the party up but…Destiny?”
Destiny smiles at Bobby. “Hey Bobby!” They hug.
“Ok, well, back to business. Brother, looks like you’re outta here!”
Bobbie smiles brightly.
“Well, Barbara Jean, that’s the best news I’ve heard since I woke up!”
Luke immediately stands up, fully dressed. “Tell ya the truth, I was plannin
on leaving tonight, with or without permission!”
Bobby swats at him. “Luke Spencer, you idiot! Well, I suppose you need
somewhere to stay right?” Luke looks at her. “Right, stupid question. Well,
ofcourse, you’re staying with me.” Luke puts his arm around his sister.
“Let’s go little sis!” They left soon after, and Lucky and Destiny
left as well.

Alexis walks into Windemere. “I’m home Stefan!” She’s been on a business
trip. “Stefan?”
She walks into his study. He’s sitting in there, staring at an empty
bottle of Bourban. “Hello Alexis.” He says in a monotone.
“Stefan, what’s happened?”
“Oh, nothing. Just my son left me, and the woman I love won’t speak
to me. Nothing out of the ordinary.”
Alexis about fell over. “Stefan, how drunk are you? Did you just say
son?”
“Yes Alexis, son. Nikolas is my son.” Stefan twirled the bottle in
his hands. Suddenly he threw it across the room. It shattered inches from
Alexis’ head. He buried his head in his hands and sobbed. “Alexis, in one
fellow swoop I’ve lost everything. Everything!!!”
Alexis put a trembling hand on the wall to steady herself. Nikolas,
Stefan’s son?!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laura sat in her garden, looking at the swing that her and Stefan had
sat on. The swing that had torched her life. The swing that her sons and
husband had seen her share a kiss, one horrible, dreadfull kiss, with Stefan
Cassidine. It was the biggest mistake of her life. So why did she yearn
for Stefan to hold her in his arms and kiss her once again? Why did that
swing still hold GOOD memories?

Liz stood outside of Jason’s bike shop, contemplating whether or not
to go up and see Lucky. “Damnit Liz, just go up. I have to know who she
is. I have to know if he stills loves me or not.” Finally she convinced
herself to go up. She knocked on his door.
-------------
Destiny opened the door to find a pretty brunette was standing on the
other side. The girl’s face registered shock as she saw her. “Hi!” Destiny
said brightly. “Are you here to see Lucky?”
The girl stuttered. “Wh…wh…where is he?”
Destiny cocked her head. This girl was acting strange. “Are you okay?”
The girl just stood there. Destiny laughed akwardly. “Okay, well, he’s
taking a shower right now. But I could tell him…” All of a sudden the girl
started to cry.
“YOU are a BITCH!” She slapped Destiny and ran off.
Destiny put her hand to her face. “Jesus Christ!” Just then Lucky stepped
out of the bathroom. He was wearing only flannel pants. Destiny raised
her eyebrows, forgetting about the girl for a second.
“What was that noise?” Lucky asked, running the towel over his hair.
Destiny shook her head. ‘Idiot! This is LUCKY!’ “Oh!” She said, getting
angry again. “Some, some GIRL just decided to come to your door, call me
a bitch and SLAP me!”
Lucky looked at her shocked. “Who?”
“Like I’d know! She was just some girl. Man, I just got here and already
somebody is wantin’ to whoop my butt!”
Suddenly recognition registered on Lucky’s face. “I’ll bet it was Liz.”
HE stepped over and looked at her face, laughing.
“What the hell’s so funny. I get slapped by some Liz girl for… for
existing! And it’s funny?” But she couldn’t help laughing along with Lucky.
“So, who’s this Liz?” Lucky shrugged. “Oh, no. Not getting away with a
shrug.” She grabbed Lucky ‘s bare shoulder, shocked at the electricity
she felt. “Uh, um, I mean, obviously she more than a shrug. Come on, tell
me!”
Lucky sat down. “She, she’s kinda, my girlfriend.”
Destiny whirled on him. “What! Your GIRLfriend? You never mentioned
a girl friend!” She laughed uncontrollably. “Well, no wonder. She walks
up here to find some girl in her boyfriends apaprtment..”
“We’re kinda in a fight. She had no right to get mad.” He snapped.
“Oh, Lucky please. Girls getting mad and having a right to get mad
hardly ever go hand in hand! Obviously there’s more to this. Dish!”
He lowered his head to his hands, slowly looking back upa t Destiny,
runnig his hands back through his hair. ‘She is really pretty,’ He thought
to himself. Oultloud. “She betrayed me.”
Destiny sat down by him. “How, did she cheat on you?”
“Well, no…”
“Then how?”
“She told mom that Dad was in the hospitol.”
“Okay…and?”
Lucky looked incredulously at Destiny. “Man, I thought you of all people
would get this!” He yelled, getting up. Destiny reached up and pulled him
back down.
“Hold on, give me a chance. Explain further,” she gently prodded.
He took a deep breath. “Well, see at the time I thought that Dad had
tried to kill himself. And if he had, it woulda been because of Mom, so…”
“Did Liz know that?”
“Liz had to have…”
“Did you tell her?
“Well..”
“Lucky, what do you think she is? A mind reader?” Destiny smiled at
him, touching the side of his face. “Guys are so stupid sometimes. You
get mad at us for asking too many questions, but are furious when we don’t
know something’s wrong!” She shook her head at him.
Lucky stared at Destiny. A single tear came out. He bowed his head
so she wouldn’t see it, but it was too late. “Oh, Lucky, it’s okay, you
can fix it. She’d have to be a fool not to forgive you!” She lifted his
chin to look him in the eye. They caught eyes, and suddenly it changed.
The look in Lucky’s eyes wasn’t sad anymore. He reached and tucked her
hair behind her ear. He leaned forward and kissed her. Destiny was shocked
at first, but then kissed back.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liz ran a long way before she stopped. She sat down to catch her breath.
Suddenly she noticed where she was. Laura raised up and looked up at her.
“Liz? Are you okay?”
