"-Not yet, why? Said Elizabeth
-You do now. Nikolas had the perfect idea to finish the summer. You, me, Nik and Lucky. Each of us find something to do, and we divide the day in four. Before lunch, after lunch, late afternoon and evening. You up for it?
-Sure! It will be great! What will we do?
-Well, the guys don't want to tell me before tomorrow, so, find something fun to do, and meet us at the guys' apartment around 7:30 tomorrow morning all right?
-Will do!
-Oh and bring your bathing suit. That is my choice."
Elizabeth hung up, laughing. Why wasn't she surprise? Jackie was always thinking something to do where she could show herself in front of Nik, that was funny.
But what would be her idea? She already knew Nik's idea. Horseback riding. He had been trying to get Lucky on a horse ever since she met them, and she knew for a fact that he didn't succeed. Yet. But that would change tomorrow, since he would HAVE to get on a horse. But, she didn't have an idea yet. She wanted to find something cool to do, something big!
"-I got it! She said out loud"
She would need to talk to Jackie, cause it was going on in the water, so they could mix their ideas together. Lucky loved competition with his brother. A seadoo race. Fast, fun, and unusual. Elizabeth got up at six the Friday morning. She threw her bathing suit in a backpack, her money for the day, sunglasses, towels, keys and hair brush. She put her hair in a pony tail, put her jeans on, a tee-shirt, and running shoes. When she ran downstairs, her hair was floating on her shoulders. Audrey was stunned to see her up this early in the morning. Elizabeth ate a bagel, drank a big glass of Orange juice, kissed her grandmother and told her she would be gone for the day, not to wait up cause she didn't know when she would be back. Lucky was the one to open the door, and kissed her on the cheek. Nikolas was dressed and eating his breakfast. Lucky told Liz that Jackie was in the bathroom, getting ready. Liz joined her and talked to her about the seadoo idea. Jackie was thrilled about it. Since they both had to do with water, and that Lucky asked for the evening, they would do Nikolas' idea, then the girls all afternoon, then go do Lucky's idea. Even Nikolas didn't know what his younger brother had in mind.
Elizabeth guessed right. Nikolas took them to the stables. He took Shiba, gave a mare named Whispers to Lucky, gave a male named Lieutenant to Jackie, and gave a male named Hercules to Elizabeth. Lucky was sitting on his mare, not looking brave. He kept saying;
"-I can't believe I let you talk me into this! To his brother"
They slowly went on their way, and Lucky was getting more and more confident. He was loving it, and remembered how many times his dad called him Cowboy. He's been a "Cowboy" all his life, and this was the first time he actually rode a horse! Elizabeth was riding next to him, while Nikolas and Jackie were a little in front. They were talking about everything, just making conversation. It was a beautiful day, blue sky with white clouds, slowly moving north. Elizabeth couldn't remember the last time she felt so in peace with herself and her life. Nikolas came to them, saying they would go to a little creek south to where they were, let the horses drink a little, rest their behind, before heading back. Elizabeth couldn't believe they had been riding for nearly an hour when they stopped and got down. She sat by the shadow of a tree, and Lucky joined her, letting Jackie and Nikolas take a little walk.
"-I still can't believe my sister and my brother are going out, said Lucky. When I think about it, sounds incestuous doesn't it?
-Yeah a little, answered Elizabeth, laughing. It sounds even more like that when you think that, when I met Jackie, she referred to Nikolas as her brother too.
-Yeah, I know. That is why they didn't want to declare their love, since they made such a big deal about being brother and sister.
-Can you imagine we are all related here? I mean, you are Nikolas' brother, I am his cousin, and Jackie is your sister.
-We are family, Lucky started singing, while Elizabeth bursted out laughing. God I had forgotten how I love that sound! He said"
Elizabeth smiled at him, and he smiled back. His remark was so spontaneous that he blushed about it. Elizabeth reached out, put her hand on his face and Lucky closed his eyes. He opened them when he felt something wet on his cheek, and saw his horse, with her nose on his shoulder. Elizabeth chuckled a little, and Lucky pushed the horse away.
"-Ready to go back? Asked Nikolas. We'll go eat Lunch and then do Elizabeth's idea
-Great, said Lucky"
He got up, and pulled Elizabeth's arms until she was standing. She took the grass out of her jeans, got on her horse and started walking away. Jackie was with her, while the two men were behind a little.
Lucky was happy that the horse back ride was over, even though he loved it. Elizabeth said he would love her idea, and he couldn't wait to find out what it was. He was surprised when he saw they were at a little beach he never even heard of, half an hour from Port Charles. Lucky didn't know Elizabeth called Alexis and asked her to find a beach not too far where they could rent seadoos. Her mother came through half an hour later, saying that she made reservations for two seadoos for the next day, at 1 o'clock. Nikolas had brought a picnic basket. They sat on a blanket on the sand, and started eating. Nikolas and Lucky threw a frisbee back and forth for a while, because they had just ate, they couldn't go in the water right away. Jackie and Elizabeth were talking in the sand. Liz could not take her eyes off of Lucky's shirtless chest. He had rolled his jeans up to his knees, because he sometimes had to pick the frisbee up from the water. His running shoes and socks were near the blanket. Liz thought that it was really a perfect day.
After a while, the girls went to the bathroom, to put their bathing suits on, and the guys went after. Elizabeth's one piece was black, with a large opening in the back. Jackie was wearing a bikini, and Elizabeth laughed, saying that every time they would fall in the water she would lose her top, and she was right!
Lucky shouted with pleasure when he saw the seadoos. He always wanted to drive one, but never found the time to do so. The guy at the renting booth showed them how they worked, and asked them to get the machines back in two hours. Elizabeth sat behind Lucky, putting her hands around his chest.
"-Ok girls, Lucky said before starting the engine, we will go slowly at first, but when we are far enough not to hurt anyone, the race is on, so you better hold tight!"
Elizabeth griped him so hard he lost his breath.
"-Not that tight Sweetie! He said, laughing"
Elizabeth's heart missed a beat when he called her sweetie. She was feeling the skin of his legs on hers, and she got closer to him. The seadoos slowly went on their way, and Elizabeth laughed because Lucky's face was full of water but not hers, her head was hiding behind his back. They were half way on the lake, when Lucky yelled at Nikolas to get his machine next to his. Nikolas was ready, when Lucky counted 3-2-1 with his fingers and the race started.
Lucky and Elizabeth were laughing so hard when they heard a shout and turned around, only to see Jackie's head coming out of the water. Nikolas gave her his hand, to help her back on, but she was saying something to him, looking around, when Elizabeth understood. SHE LOST HER TOP! Elizabeth was laughing harder, when Lucky's head turned around, his mouth only centimeters away from hers.
"-What's so funny? He asked, fixing her mouth
-Jackie lost her bikini top, she answered, her heart about to stop beating.
-Oh!"
Was all Lucky said, before turning around quickly. She felt him laugh, and she turned around to talk to Jackie.
"-Come on, get back on! Hate to say I told you so
-Oh You Shut Up!"
Elizabeth started to laugh again, and Lucky took the seadoo back to Nikolas' side, starting the race again. Lucky told his sister that if she wasn't able to hold on to Nikolas, next time she fell they wouldn't stop and Nik would lose the race.
Lucky and Elizabeth won the race, only by inches. After the race, they started chasing each other, and Liz and Jackie even got into a cat fight, trying to make the other fall off. Lucky gave the "wheel" to Liz, and sat behind her. She gave too much gas at the start, getting the seadoo to nose up, making her and Lucky fall off in the water. Nikolas and Jackie were laughing at them, and Lucky drowned Elizabeth for it. Lucky got back on, helped Liz, and took the command. Elizabeth was putting her hands in front of his eyes, getting him to yell at her, laughing, saying he couldn't see where he was going. Nikolas and Jackie were smiling, their plan was working like a charm.
