Chapter 3

Elizabeth was nervous, standing outside the Spencer house with Nikolas by her side. They were there pick up Lesley Lu, and take her back to Windermere for an afternoon of movie watching in the new audio/video room Stefan installed at Elizabeth's request. It was like a theater, only more complete, with a really big stereo. Nikolas pushed the doorbell and took Elizabeth's hand. She hated the fact that he knew her feelings for Lucky. She hated the fact that she had feelings for Lucky! And, just as these thoughts crossed her mind, the door opened and she came face to face with Lucky.

"-Well, well, well, if it isn't the Tepesh Family! What are blood-sucking bats like you doing out in the day light? He said with a smile
-Get out of my way Lucky I'm here to picck up my sister. Nikolas said, walking towards him.
-Not so fast, said Lucky, putting a handd on his shoulder
-Don't touch me, said Nikolas, pushing hhim
-Don't shove me! Answered Lucky, shovinng Nikolas back
-ENOUGH! Said Elizabeth. Nikolas, we aare here for your sister, not to pick a fight with the Neanderthal.
-Neanderthal? Asked Lucky, good one Eliizabeth! Hey Nikolas, you are doing quite a good job with her, does she sit and roll over on commend too?
-LUCKY THAT'S ENOUGH! They heard from bbehind"

Laura was standing the couch, looking really mad.

"-Now, you know damn well Nikolas is always welcome in this house, and so are his guests, so I suggest you start acting politely with them!
-Well, it seems we can't insult each othher in our own houses Elizabeth, Lucky said with a smile, it's a conspiracy! What do you say we do it somewhere else, like Kelly's?
-No thank you, my social calendar is boooked for the next decade, she answered, politely
-Wow, a Cassadine with an actual social life, that's one for the book"

Lucky got out of the way for Elizabeth and Nikolas to get in the house. Laura held Nikolas in her arms, saying she had missed him.

"-Laura, this is my sister Elizabeth, I believe this is the first time you guys meet -Yes it is Nikolas, hi Elizabeth
-Hi Mrs. Spencer, it's a pleasure to meeet you.
-Same here. I'll go get Lulu. You bettter behave, she said, pointing at Lucky"

Elizabeth looked around, at the pictures on the mantel, at the decoration, and she saw Lucky was fighting with himself not to make a bloody remark, when they heard footsteps coming their way, and saw Lulu run for Nikolas. He took her in his arms and kissed her cheek, asking if she was ready to have fun, while she just nodded her head.

"-Lulu, you remember Elizabeth don't you? Nikolas asked, while Lulu nodded again
-Hi Lulu, said Elizabeth. You don't minnd if I watch the movies with you and Nikki do you? Lulu shook her head
-Do you mind if I do? Asked Lucky.
> -Well Lucky, I don't think --- Started NNikolas, but he saw Lulu shook her head really fast, obviously excited about her two brothers with her at the same time. Sure said Nikolas."

Laura started to tell Lucky to behave, and not start a war with either Nikolas, Elizabeth or Stefan, and told Nikolas not to be afraid to kick Lucky out if he was out of line. Elizabeth was dressing Lulu while Lucky was getting the lecture. They saw Luke at the docks, and Lucky told his dad he was going along just in case Elizabeth and Nikolas wanted to turn Lulu into a vampire. Elizabeth smiled at Lesley Lu, holding a comment inside. She didn't want Lulu to hear what she thought about the little girl's brother.

Elizabeth went in the kitchen to prepare the popcorn, the only thing she was able to cook without ruining it, while Nikolas was preparing the movie. They were watching Hercules first, and Elizabeth never saw that movie. Well, to be honest, kiddy movies weren't her favorites, but she still liked them from time to time. She divided the popcorn in two big bowls, put 4 soda cans on a plate, and went in the video room. They were all already sited, and Elizabeth cursed silently. Nikolas and Lulu were sitting on a two place couch, and Lucky was sitting on the other one. Now, either Elizabeth sat on the floor, or next to Lucky. She looked at her brother, and he just elevated his shoulders, like to tell her "I had no choice, I wanted to sit with my baby sister". She gave Nikolas two soda cans and a bowl, sat next to Lucky and gave him a can. Nikolas pushed the button on the remote, closing the lights and starting the movie.

Elizabeth had real problems concentrating on the movie, as her hand touched Lucky's every time she was reaching for popcorn. Lucky smiled at her every time, and took his hand away, letting her take some first, and he took some after. She finally was able to relax as Hercules was starting his work-out with "Phil". The music was stirring, and she found herself laughing at some jokes. Nikolas and Lucky were even exchanging some jokes about what Hercules was going through, getting Lulu to crack up and asking for silence. Both brothers whistled as Meg first appear on the screen, getting the two girls to laugh.

"-You guys are pigs! Said Elizabeth, between two barks from the guys -It's in our genes, said Lucky
-Yeah, answered Nikolas, it's not our faault if we are so perverted, we get turned on by a animated girl!
-I guess Port Charles' a drag when it coomes to ladies then huh? Said Elizabeth
-Well, it depends at who you look at, annswered Lucky, looking directly into her eyes"

Elizabeth felt blood rushing to her face, as she turned her eyes to the TV. It was too late, she was lost again, not watching the movie, but far off in her thoughts. She saw Hercules take Meg out on a date, then Phil came to take him away. Music started again, and the words of the song, as it played, touched Elizabeth deep down to the core of her heart, as her eyes went back and forth between Lucky and the television.

"Meg:
If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that.
No man is worth the aggravation.
That's ancient history, been there done that.

Muses:
Who d'ya think you're kiddin',
He's the Earth and heaven to you.
Try to keep it hidden,
Honey, we can see right through you.
Girl, you can't conceal it,
We know how ya feel and who you're thinking of.

Meg:
No chance, no way,
I won't say it, no, no.

Muses:
You swoon, you sigh,
Why deny it, uh oh

Meg:
It's too cliché,
I won't say I'm in love.

I thought my heart had learned its lesson.
It feels so good when you start out.
My head is screaming, get a grip girl,
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out.

Muses:
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling.
Baby, we're not buying,
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling.
Face it like a grown-up,
When ya gonna own up that ya got, got it, got it bad.

Meg:
No chance, no way,
I won't say it, no, no.

Muses:
Give up, give in.
Check the grin, you're in love.

Meg:
This scene won't play,
I won't say I'm in love.

Muses:
You're doin' flips,
Read our lips: You're in love.

Meg:
You're way off base,
I won't say it.
Get off my case,
I won't say it.

Muses:
Girl, don't be proud,
It's O.K. you're in love.

Meg:
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love."
