A/n: Hi Welcome :) So happy to have you here. Enjoy and please read the authors note at the bottom AND review :)


Chapter one: "Hopes in Red Ropes"


"Aud, you can't stick your underwear in like that." I said as I watched the brunette in front of me sigh and then take the stack of Victoria's secret and shove it into a spot in her suitcase that was worse than the first. "Aud, I SAID not to put your underwear in your bag like that!"

"Then where should I put it TY?!" Audrey asked spinning around with a death glare in her blue eyes and a fist full of cheekies and v-strings. "It's in my damn bag isn't that enough?"

"Sorry Aud, it's just you can't put your panties on top. What if we get to Orlando and a teacher grabs your bag by mistake and your g-strings are the first thing they see?" I said while spinning in her computer chair popping another watermelon Sour Patch Kid into my mouth. "Just shove them in the bottom."

Audrey sighed and pushed them aggressively under a sequined silver top and a pair of tight jeans, "Holy Carl Azus, Ty, if you weren't my best friend and didn't look so constipated eating those sour patch kids I swear I'd pluck out all your eyebrows and pack this underwear somewhere else."

I smiled, "Oh Aud you know you love me to much to pluck out my eyebrows."

She flashed a perfect smile that took three years in braces to create, "You wish, remember that time I colored on your face and put your hand in warm water at Britney Stanley's party in fourth grade?"

Shocked I dropped the sour patch kids in my lap and stopped spinning, "THAT WAS YOU! I thought that was Rachel! AND after I peed myself I had to wear her brother's pull ups because Mrs. Stanley thought sharing panties was unsanitary and I didn't pack another pair!"

Audrey was laughing so hard she didn't look like she was breathing, "that's what you get Ty for stealing Barbie's prom dress."

"I gave it back that afternoon!"

"But she did wear it to the prom, and it was my favorite…"

"IT SO WASN'T! You liked that purple sequined one."

Audrey pouted, "I liked them equally…"

"You know that day we put paste in Rachel's sandwich, I did that because of the party." I said as I popped more candy into my mouth to comfort the guilt that was rising in my stomach, the sour was causing my face to scrunch together.

Audrey's face turned puzzled, "Oh I thought that was because she knocked over my clay model of Justin Timberlake."

"For one, that clay thing looked like the creature from the deep not a sexy JT, and secondly why we put paste in her sandwich over that? It's like a level twelve offense."

"Well past is past," Audrey said scooping more clothes than necessary and tossing them into the bag, "and tomorrow it wont matter you want to know why?"

I rolled my eyes, "Why Audrey?"

"BECAUSE WE'LL BE IN DISNEY WORLD!" She said jumping forward and forcing me to jump up with excitement.

"So… you're excited about Disney?"

Her face dropped as she stared at me blankly, completely missing my sarcasm. "OH SWEET PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? DISNEYISWHEREALLYOURDREAMSCOMETRUEANDMINEWILLCOMETRUE. IWILLROCKOUTFALLINLOVEANDHAVETHIRTYCHILDREN."

By the end of her rant Audrey was catching her breath with a glassy look in her eye, I just sighed.

She had been living and breathing for this trip ever since she heard about the band line up for Grad night. Of course Audrey being the artistic individualist musician that she is, didn't care about the big headliners that I secretly wanted to see.

Oh no.

She only had eyes and ears for the new artists I had never heard of.

Audrey had this twisted fantasy that one of the bands would see her rocking out in the crowd, invite her back stage to either become a best friend or become their soul mate. Either way she saw herself joining the tour and becoming famous when they made it big.

Of course that could never happen, all of that cheesy romance was for fiction. It just didn't happen in real life, and being her best friend since we shared a teeter totter in daycare, had a small part of me worried about her being disappointed and let down when it didn't happen.

The other large part of me laughed hard in her face.

"You look so dumb with that hopeful-dreaming look on your face." I said inhaling sweet air. My comment earned me a pillow to the face.

"Shut it Ty. It could happen."

"Yeah in fiction or movies..." I mumbled.

"Damn Ty, you're such a negative Nancy, you'll never find romance with that attitude. You're going to end up marrying some white collared guy that routinely brings you the same card and flowers for all holidays and expects you to be a Susie homemaker."

I thought about how she had just described my parents' relationship in a nut shell.

My dad was your typical white collared businessmen who made enough money so that my mom could stay at home and we still lived above comfortable. He always brought her the same gifts and my mother said she loved the consistency.

Why did it make her feel safe?

Like if we kept things constant our little perfect bubble would never be popped?

What happens next fall when I leave?

Does the bubble pop?

Would my dad start buying her sexy lingerie now that their only child would be out of the house?

Would my parents go back to having sex?

How sick.

"You do realize you just described my parents?"

"Hey, mine two." She said as she zipped her suitcase closed. "But really Ty you need to open your horizons, we can't grow up to be our parents."

I frowned down at my empty bag and sighed, "Yeah I know."

See the thing is that it's not that I don't believe in love-at-first-sight and soul mates, it's just hard to be so optimistic when all my prince charmings have turned out to be king assholes.

They see my blonde hair chest, and lips, and automatically assume that I'll prove that 'blondes do have more fun' on the first date. I've just been jaded by cupid one to many times to think that something fanatical like that could happen.

"So you're packed?" I said changing the subject.

"Yup," Audrey confirmed with a grin, "Just have to add my tooth brush in the morning and I'll be good to go! What about you?"

"Finished yesterday." I groaned as I watched Audrey add some extra lady products in the outside compartment to her suitcase, "Oh Drey, tell me you're not putting that there…"

"HOLY FATHER!" She said tossing them all at me fiercely, "Shut it Ty now come on lets go downstairs and make fun of infomercials all night so we'll be exhausted for the bus ride."

----

"CHEEZE ITS!" Audrey screamed on the sleeping bus as I pulled a box from our weekend snack stash.

"Drey hush it," my second best friend Jennifer said as she tossed a small marshmallow at Audrey's head. "Some are trying to sleep." Her head pointed across the isle towards our two other friends David and Bailey who swore were 'just friends' but seemed extremely cozy as they slept against each other.

David had his arms wrapped around Bailey, and she was pushed against his chest.

Our group of friends was in a cluster at the back of the bus seeing that we had practically raced on shoving down anyone in our path, and the fact that the girls more intoned with their inner bitch were disgusted by the thought of sitting near the restroom.

Obviously I was sitting next to Audrey, Bailey and David, Jennifer and our other good friend Samantha, and the last member to our little clan was John who was in the chair in front of David next to someone who he was good friends with but not someone who hung out with us.

I think his name was Steve or Earl.

Audrey pulled out her camera and snapped a picture, "Now they can't deny anything. I have proof. Now, CHEEZE ME NOW!"

"Okay devil woman have some." I said extending the box out which she promptly snatched.

So much for sharing.

"God, how long have we been riding on this beast?" Sam asked pulling out her headphones.

Immediately all the cell phones were pulled out.

"To damn long." Jen said giving up trying to do the math in her head.

"UMFGRAWFMUHF." Audrey explained with a mouthful of food.

"What Auds saying so eloquently is five out of seven hours." I said with Audrey nodding her head with agreement.

"I don't care if this place is the most magical ever. Way to much time on this bus. I need to stretch or something." Sam said with a clearly anxious look written across her tan face.

Sam was a long distance runner so she spent a lot more time than us outside in the Florida sun than most of us did. I tried to send her a sympathetic look understanding that with her level of athleticism and ADD it must be hard for her to just sit for seven hours.

"Sam, just don't think about it." Jen offered.

Jen was gorgeous with her brown hair, big blue eyes, and soft personality. Unlike Sam who was ADD, Jen was OCD and loved to have everything in its order.

"Okay so let's talk about the big ass purple streak Audrey has in her hair."

Audrey smiled that smile and popped more delicious cheesiness into her mouth, "What's to talk about?"

"Did your parents flip a gasket?"

"Are they shipping you to an all girl's boarding school?"

Audrey laughed and shared my snack with me, "No, as non-radical as this sounds I had the okay from corporate."

Corporate is what free-spirited Audrey calls her parents when she talks about their overbearing white-collared side.

"Really?" Jen said with even bigger eyes.

"Yup, since it washes out they said I could. We did it last night, Tyler show um yours."

I stared wide-eyed at Audrey. I hadn't wanted to color my hair much at all, but I was never good at resisting peer pressure. Guess I missed that day at D.A.R.E., so with only two minutes of pleading I found Audrey streaking strands of my hair blue at three o'clock in the morning.

"Come on Ty."

I sighed and pulled my hair to right and released my side bangs that I had clipped back. Judging by the wide-eyed expression on their faces my new coloring was visible.

"Sweet Ashton Kutcher."

"You know Tyler I don't really like stuff that goes against the norm, but you totally pull that off." Jen said with a genuine look on her face.

"Yeah most deff, with just the two streaks its like 'Hi-I'm-a-badass-goddess-but not-one-of-those-posers.'"

"Yeah and by the way John's staring at you, I think he agrees." Jen added with a giggle.

Blood rushed to my cheeks as I built up the courage to look over at John whose brown eyes were staring at me and a small smile was tugging at his red kissable lips... Whoa. Brakes.

John equals best friend.

Not lover.

Just because he's shown you a little extra attention doesn't mean anything.

You've known him since he hit you with that door freshman year, he only likes Prada Princesses.

"He looks like he wants to take you in that bathroom stall," Audrey whispered into my ear, "You can thank me later."

My cheeks turned further red at her comment because for one, she said that John basically wanted me, and then because it had me thinking about doing the naughty with John. Not that I had ever done the horizontal hokey pokey before, I'm old fashion.

"So Auds all excited about the bands at Grad night…"

"Oh hells yes I am!"

And for the rest of the two hours on the bus Audrey ranted about the bands, but I was just thankful we weren't talking about John and I having sex.

----

"SO FINE, OH NINE!" was the only words our bus seemed to know as we drove the most magical place on earth. It was as if the knowledge of our destination had sparked a fire in our class that typically wasn't there.

After arriving to our hotel we had three hours to rest up before the buses were dropping us off at the park. Audrey screamed that three hours wasn't nearly enough time to prepare, so she snatched up my wrist and sprinted to the room with Jen and Sam, our other roommates, in tow.

Being pushed into the shower, hair dried, wardrobe picked out, and mascara applied you would have thought we were priming for homecoming or a dance not a night in Disney. But after we had barely made it to the bus, you'd have to admit we looked pretty good.

Since the third, fourth, and fifth outfits didn't look as good as the first she had tried on, Audrey settled with a sequined silver top, a pair of tight jeans, and soft curls. Sam pulled on jeans and a green top that made her brown eyes stand out. Jen being Jen, decided to wear a teal shirt with white polka dots, while I was everyone's project.

Jen sad 'classic hair' so they straightened it. Sam being natural insisted that I didn't need as much make-up as I usually wear so she slapped on some lip gloss and mascara on me and handed me over to Audrey, who surprisingly dressed me in a white tee and skinny jeans. The only catch was I had to wear this red lacy bra Audrey insisted made the girls look 'so good they must be fake'. I would have said no but the other girls agreed and you know me and peer pressure.

So that is how I ended up on a bus with overly excited seniors, in a red lacy bra, entering the most magical place on earth.

----

Holy Mickey Mouse, this is insane.

We were walking through the MGM entrance which had been turned into a red carpet moment only minus the celbs and plus thousands of teenagers-turned-kids-again. Lights were pulsing around to the beat of top forty hits making it hard for me to resist dancing on the red carpet.

"Tyler isn't this great?!" Bailey said with a smile.

I went to respond but David took the words for me, "Yeah, but it's insane. I've never seen this many seniors before in my life." That dreamy love struck look washed over her face, and from then on I knew all was lost.

"Hey you," John said strolling up next to me and slugging an arm over my shoulder, "Sick isn't it?"

I bit my lower lip and nodded, "yeah adds another reason to my list."

"and what list is that?"

"Reasons why I am glad I'm a senior."

John laughed and opened his mouth to say something else but spotted his bus mate a head of us, "hey I'm sorry my ride buddy-partner-thing looks like he's about to ditch me in two. See you later?"

The arm that was making my heart race dropped as he twisted through the crowd, "text me Ty!" The window blew gently over my back and I immediately missed the warmth of his arm.

"Yeah," I whispered out loud, my mind was cursing his ride-buddy. I hoped his children all have twelve toes.

Thinking of ride-buddies, where did mine disappear to?

"Hey sex muffin you're looking so fine tonight, want to go on a ride?" a voice doing a terrible impression of a male said into my ear.

I laughed at Audrey, "Oh yeah baby. I'm ready."

A group of boys who were passing by rather closely to us over heard what I had said and looked my way, one even winked.

Passing under a huge banner that read 'Congratulations Graduates!,' Audrey insisted that we ride Star Wars first.

"That way we can just go over to this stage," Audrey said pointing her finger onto a small dot I couldn't make out, "for Anna Mile and then Excited State. After that we'll probably spend a little time doing the whole backstage pass thing."

"Um what about the other rides?" I said itching to ride the Tower of terror.

"We'll ride them… just with the band." Audrey confidently proclaimed as she closed the map. "Now let's so ride that simulator."

----

I cupped my hands together and made deep breathing noises, "Luke (breath) I am (breath) your father…" Star Wars was terrible but it was a classic plus it was fun to make fun of.

Audrey who had been impersonating a Wookie for the past two minutes doubled over with laughter. I did the same only as I leaned foreword, I was pummeled over.

I hated public attention, especially when it's public embarrassment.

"Oh Annie!" Audrey said impersonating Natalie Portman. She was having a blast with this Star Wars conversation while I on the other hand, was laying flat on my staring at the Disney sky praying people would trample me rather than stare at me like they were.

"Oh Fuck." I voice said next to me, "Fuck. I think I lost them. Fuck."

I sent a look to Audrey that clearly read 'are you kidding me this asshole just trampled me and he's not apologizing?'

"I forgive you." I said bitterly as Audrey helped me up, her expression was wide and flirtatious…?

"Oh God, I am so sorry!" the male voice said as it sounded like he was getting himself up off the hard pavement, "I just have to find those people, I wasn't thinking."

"Damn right you weren't." I said spinning around ready to give this guy a big piece of my mind, instead my jaw dropped.

He was the most beautiful senior I had ever seen, and probably top ten hottest guys I had ever seen. He was wearing a black shirt, dark jeans, and these bright neon blue Van-like tennis shoes. Mr. Bulldozer's eyes were the clearest blue I had ever seen, which says a lot since my own eyes are sky colored. But what attracted me to him the most was the genuine smile he wore on his face. It was like he created a smile for my eyes only.

And god was it a beautiful smile.

It took me a second to realize he was assessing me to, "Well I have to say I'm sorry I knocked you to the ground, but I'm not sorry I bumped into you." Then before I could force my flustered brain to produce a reply he nodded to another guy with dark hair and dashed into the crowd.

Watching him retreat Audrey leaned over to me, "Damn…he was so hot. I wish he would have knocked me to the ground. Now come on we have to make it to the Anna Mile show!"

----

Turns out Aud is a pro at pushing her way to the front because before I knew it we had fought our way through the crowd and were standing directly in front of the microphone.

"Oh shit this is awesome!" I squealed as the vibrations from the speakers were so loud it made my heart shake.

"Just think about the concert!" Audrey said with a grin. It took all of my willpower not to let my face show disappointment.

Standing here listening to a crappy undiscovered artist who songs I didn't know any of the lyrics to, didn't sound like a goodtime.

Plus being this close to the speaker might make my ears bleed.

"Don't pout like that, they're good I promise!"

Wow, guess I didn't hide my emotions to well.

The top forty song that was playing died down and suddenly a very cute man dressed in a suit walked on stage. For a second I got my hopes up that maybe it was their manager saying they couldn't perform.

How unfortunate, but hey now we can go ride the Tower of Terror…

"…and now without further a due…ANNA MILES!"

A tall lanky man who looked familiar ran out first and jogged behind the drums, followed by another tall man who was dressed in a black shirt with a heart on it. Next onstage was a petite auburn haired girl who was dressed in jeans, a purple shirt, and high heels.

But as I looked to check out the last member running out someone pushed me from behind knocking me into the railing. Apparently whoever it was, was in high demand by desperate teenage girls.

"Hi everyone thanks for coming out, my name is Anna Miles and the first song we'll be playing for you is called 'One more Mile' enjoy."

Then with the sound of the drummer tapping his sticks together the music immediately started. It was fast paced and something you'd dance around in your underwear to, and I was tapping my foot to the beat.

Well I was until I looked on stage to find myself seeing a pair of familiar blue eyes watching me as he strummed his guitar…

An: Well Hi. Okay so usually i don't like writing more than one story at a time because it pulls you out of that zone, but after certain instances Tyler appeared as was begging to be written. So i finally gave in.

So, i got this idea from my own Grad Night experience where i got to meet two different bands and got Chris's (from the White Tie Affair) body all rubbed up in my face at the concert and the guitarist licked his pick and stuck it to my best friend's forehead. but yeah it was just a fun time and those guys were really nice when we met them, and my best friend got to ride the tower of terror with them (at their request) while i went off to meet Lesley Roy.

But anywise i thought about that night and was like how fun....and thus my thought process for this story began but i wont say more because i don't want to be a spoiler.

anywhoo it will be good. hopefully.

But for those readers who are Simple Really fans, i promise to go back and finish it. Its complicated for me to write because, well, i'm not a guy and don't really have their perception and its hard to be four different guys so maybe over the summer i'll go back. Plus i just recently experienced the death of someone extremely close to me so i'm not really up for challenges right now. But if you have anymore questions PM me, but i hope you all support this as much as you've supported SR :)

SO question time:

1. have you ever been to Disney? if so what park?

2. What is your opion of Tyler?

3. Audrey?

4. comments? suggestions? what did you like? what didn't you?

5. was it realistic?

Okay so review and i'll review you back. It's SUPER important that you review so i can get a good idea of weither or not i should continue!! If i get a good response i'll post again before next week!! Which says a lot since IM GRADUATING SATURDAY!!!! :))

-love always-
