Thank you all so much for the wonderful reviews and replies! I couldn't believe it...10?!?! It was amazing. Thank you so much. I promise to try to write more often. I just sometimes dont have a chance. But I promise I will make this a wonderful story..I already have so many plans for it. Thanks for all the support.

And to akino and The Moon and the Wind, hi! *waves* Nice to see you, hope you continue to read my story. Umm and the reason why I stopped writing my Passions fic was because im sick of passions because the show is being STUPID. So I refuse to write until it gets good (eg: more kay and miguel) so there you go! lol. Anyways..on with the story. Feel free to give me any ideas in which direction to move the story in.

Thanks much! ~Amanda

Rebecca sat up in bed and stretched happily. She was here, with Connor!!!! She smiled at her reflection and brushed her auburn hair quickly. Hopefully she hadn't missed Connor and her brother. Derek, most likely was dragging poor Connor to a nature hike. Well, she wouldn't miss her invitation for the world! Well..even if hiking wasn't really her thing. She'd make the best of it.

"Hey guys!" she exclaimed as she bounced into the kitchen.

"Becks. Hi." said Derek over his bowl of Coa-coa puffs.

Connor nodded with a smile, as he continued stuffing his face along with Derek.

MEN.

Rebecca grabbed herself a bowl, spoon and box of Cinnamon toast crunch and plopped herself beside Connor with a smile. He smiled back and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"How was your sleep?" he asked.

"Fine...how was yo-"

"Hey becky." her brother cut off.

"Yes Derek?" she looked at her brother with an icy glare.

Derek continued munching on his cereal without noticing. "Me and Con are going hiking today. You wanna come?"

"You mean you actually want to spend your day with your little sis?" she asked.

"No." he smirked. "Mom's making me include you. But I guess I don't mind..just don't bug us. Please. We've got a reputation to keep up."

Rebecca almost choked on her cereal laughing. "You two?" she asked.

"Yes." Derek said defensively, his mouth scrunched up in a thin line. Oooh he was mad.
"Don't mind him." Connor smiled sweetly. "He wants a girlfriend badly. He wants to try to look 'good for the chicks' who dont really care. So yeah..I dont mind if you come Becky. It'll be fun."

She smiled right back at him. "Thank you Connor. At least someone here's nice." she shot Derek a look.

He responded by rolling his eyes. "Women." he muttered, putting his bowl in the sink. "Well I'm going to get changed now. Be right back."

"So." Connor said as he took Becky's bowl for her and placed it in the sink. "Excited for the hike?"

"Yeah I guess. Im not really much of a nature person to tell you the truth."

"Me neither." he laughed. "I'm just doing this for Derek. He's obsessed with nature."

"I haven't noticed." she giggled. "So yeah..Im going to get dressed and ready. I'll be back kay?"

He nodded looking intense. "Alright."

**************************************************************************** ****

"Ouch!" Rebecca squealed. "Owwww that hurts."

"Are you okay?" Connor asked. "Here let me look at that."

"Pick up the pace you two!" Derek yelled way ahead of them.

"That jerk. Wait till I get my hands on him." Rebecca muttered through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry about him." Connor said, rolling up Rebecca's pants.

The hike had been on for several hours and so far it was not fun. Derek had been ahead the whole entire time where Connor and Rebecca lagged behind helping each other through obstacles, such as prickly ferns, bugs and the occasional trip over a root.

"I'm glad you decided to come along." Connor stated, dabbing Becky's knee with disinfectant. "It would have been so hard to do this along."

"Yeah. Me too." Rebecca smiled looking into Connor's eyes.

He looked down quickly and put a bandaid on her knee. She touched her forehead.

It was sticky with sweat, and her bun was loose and messy. She was so dirty and sweaty!

This was not how she pictured her first kiss with Connor.

"Ready to face your brother again?" Connor asked with a slight smile.

"Yep." she sighed. He helped her to her feet and she tripped into his arms. "I really gotta do something about those shoe laces." she chuckled.

"You have to." he said softly, looking into her eyes. He tucked a stray peice of red hair behind her ear, and leaned forward. Becky closed her eyes feeling his warm breath on her face.

"CONNOR! REBECCA! WHERE ARE YOOOOOU!" They heard a yell and jumped apart. "There you two are." Derek said coming into the clearing. "Whats taking so long."

"I tripped trying to catch up to you, you jerk." Rebecca exclaimed, smaking him on the head.

"Ow!" he whined. "Connor do something about my head!"

"No can do." he laughed. "You deserve it dude." He took Rebecca's hand and leaded her back to civilization.

"Will you get us some lemonade honey?" Rebecca's mom asked.

"Sure mom." Rebecca sat, as she sat up in her new turquoise bikini.

This bikini was so much fun, she loved watching guys eyes pop when they saw her.

She slipped on her sandals, and grabbed the now empty pitcher. Too bad Connor hasn't seen her in the bikini yet. He went to a beach party with Derek, down the road.

It was just Rebecca, Christine (Connor's mom) and her mom.

It was starting to get a bit dark out and was kind of hard to see, especially with her blue tinted sunglasses on. All of a sudden she banged into something, and let out a squeal.

She fell to the ground. All of a sudden, a flashlight was shining in her eyes.

"Hey whats the big idea?" she exclaimed as the light almost blinded her.

"Oh sorry." a guys voice said. She felt a warm strong grasp around her hand, and someone pulled her up. "I didn't mean to bump into you there." he said.

"Umm im sorry too. Sorry but I can't see you." she said.

"Oh sorry. Uhh well you almost went into my house."

"Oh really, oh so I did! Im sorry I didn't mean to, I just couldnt see."

"Well, here I'll turn on the light." the lights went on and there before her eyes was one of the cutest guys Rebecca had ever seen. He had dark brown eyes and spiky dirty blonde hair.

He blushed slightly as he saw Rebecca. "Umm kinda late to be wearing a bikini don't you think?"

"Oh, oh yeah." Rebecca smiled, turning a deep shade of red.

"Oh where are my manners? I'm Jacob Matthews...but you can call me Jake."

he shook her hand with a cute wise-ass lopsided smile.

"I'm Rebecca. Rebecca Reynolds. Uhh but you can call me Becky..or Rebecca. Either one."

"Oh ok..well are you alright?" he asked.

Rebecca looked herself over. "It looks like it." she said smiling. "Okay well Jake I guess I'll see you around.."

"You can count on it." he said with a flirtacious smile as she walked into her own cottage.

Oh that guy was a god. Who to pick, who to pick? Jacob or Connor? Ah well she would persue both for now, and see what happens. She could always use a spare, if things with Connor didn't work out. Connor was definetly the one she wanted..she had wanted him all her life. But why did Jake give her butterflies in her stomach?
