L.A.

Adventure

*Autumn POV*

I wake up and see that Fred is still asleep. I carefully slip out of the bed so I don't wake him up and I go to get a shower. As I am in the shower, it occurs to me I have nothing to really wear other than what I had wore last night.

I get out and dry my hair and wrap the towel around me and head back to see if I can find something of Fred's to wear. I walk back in the room and he is still asleep. As I look through the shirts, I think that I am going to be in trouble because Fred wears his jeans baggy and that means if I were to wear a pair of his pants, they would be extra baggy on me.

Out of nowhere, a pair of arms wrap around me. I turn around and see the blue eyes. Fred kisses me. When we part, I say

"Good morning to you too."

We start kissing again and make our way over to the bed.

"Luckily we are wearing about the same amount of clothes," Fred says.

"Well, we probably won't for too long."

"You know, you might be right on that."

*Tre POV*

After AJ tries to drown me, although he calls it getting the shampoo out of my hair, I wash his hair. We finish our shower and I step out to dry off.

I start to towel off when a tatooed arm comes from behind me and grabs the towel and the body attachted to that arm is walking out the bathroom door with my towel

"HEY!! I"m drying off here, ya know. I can't do that without the towel" I inform Aj.

"I know you can't"

He tells me with a hint of mischief in his voice. I smile to myself and follow him over to where the bed is.

"Alright Alexander James, give me my towel back."

I say to him holding out my hand. He lifts up the towel and smiles at me

"You mean..this towel?" He asks me.

I roll my eyes at him

"Yes, that towel." I say reaching for it.

He moves it out of my reach and then pushes me down on the bed

"Alex!"

I yell at him and he laughs

"What?"

He asks innocently while crawling onto the bed above me

"Now why did you do that?" I whine.

"Ohhh I think you know" He says in a husky voice.

I smile at him and put my arms around his neck

"Hmmm no, I think you better show me"

I tell him teasingly as he lays down and kisses me

*Autumn POV*

A good amount of time has passed. Fred and I are up. I have put my skirt back on and wearing the original top I had on

"So what do you have planned for today baby?"

I look back at Fred.

"Well, other than go and get my things from my room. Not a thing."

I sit down and begin to peel an orange for breakfast while Fred fixes a bowl of ceral.

"Do you think that Tre and Aj would wanna go to the beach with us?"

I sit and think.

"I have no idea. We can ask them when we go get my things, that is if you are going with me." Fred nodded his head. "Cool." I say.

"Yeah maybe AJ can get some ideas on what all we can do,"

Fred said before finishing off his ceral.

"Yeah. His first idea would be to shoot some pool."

I get my orange peeled and eat it. When I finish, Fred and I head back to the hotel.

*Tre POV*

I'm walking out of the bathroom finishing getting dressed...finally!! when the phone rings. AJ groans and I know he is hoping it isn't one of the guys telling us we have to get back today, luckily it wasn't,

"Hey Autumn, yea alright her and I will be there in a few"

AJ hangs up the phone and turns to look at me

"Looking beautiful like always baby"

He says and gives me a quick kiss.

"Thanks hun. What's going on?" I ask him, referring to the phone call.

"Oh Autumn and Fred are in her room picking up her stuff and want us to come over there"

"Oh ok, cool." I say sitting down pulling on my shoes.

AJ checks himself in the mirror and I laugh

"What? I gotta look good for my public ya know"

"You know if you were anyone else I would laugh at that, but since you are who you are...I can't"

I tell him walking out the door.

"Nope you sure can't" he says laughing.

We get to Autumns door and knock. The door opens and it's Fred

"Hey man." AJ says to him

"Hey AJ. Hi Tre" Fred says to us.

"Hi Fred. Hey Autumn"

"Hey guys" Autumn says.

"Well now that we got that accomplished, what's up?" AJ asks and we all laugh.

"Well we were thinking about going to the beach and was wondering if you and Tre would like to join us." Fred tells us.

AJ looks at me and I shrug my shoulders

"Sounds like a plan. We really didn't have anything planned for today." AJ tells them.

"Ok, cool. Maybe we can pack a picnic lunch and manage to enjoy it before the fans jump on us"

Fred says to AJ and they both laugh

"Yea maybe, like that would be possible" Autumn says.

"Well if we are going to the beach, I have to go get my suit on. I'll be right back"

I tell them and walk out the door.

*Autumn POV*

I watch Tre go out and I begin to look for a swimming suit. I find then and see AJ and Fred still in the room.

"Guys, can I please get some privacy here?"

AJ says yes but Fred says I can't.

"AJ, can you please escort our good buddy Mr. Durst outside while I change?"

AJ uses his best British accent,

"I sure believe I can. Mr. Durst, right this way chap."

They go out and I have to laugh.

I change and call down and order some food to be made for all of us. I grab some shades, my hair clip, and a beachtowel before I put a pair of shorts and shirt over my suit. I walk out and I see AJ and Fred, but no Tre.

"I wish she would hurry up," AJ says. "She makes fun of me taking my time."

I begin to think Tre is acting weird and just as I am about to ask the guys if they think she is acting weird, Tre comes out.

*Tre POV*

I get back to the room and just sit on the bed.

'man this sucks.' I think to myself and stare into space. 'I don't want Autumn to move to Cali but I can't ask her not to and give up her right to happiness'

I sigh and decide to get looking for my swim suit. I get dressed and grab a towel for myself and AJ and head back to Autumns room. I'm trying to get in a better mood but it's hard when your best friend is moving across country.

*Autumn POV*

Before we head out, I stop and ask AJ if he should go tell Marcus where we are going. AJ says yeah and says he will be right back. I tell Tre and Fred I am going on down to see if our food is ready.

I step in the elevator and can't believe this is going to be the last day I actually get to talk to Tre. I am also hoping Tre and Fred get along okay while I am downstairs and while AJ is talking to Marcus.

*Tre POV* AJ says he'll be right back and takes off to talk to Marcus and Autumn goes to check on the food and I'm left standing with Fred. I have no idea what to say, I just would like to stay in my own little world but don't want to be rude to Autumns new man.

"So, Fred. Looking forward to Autumn moving in?" I ask him.

He turns to me smiling

"Yea I sure am. I know we haven't known each other long but I really care about her" He tells me

"Good, I'm glad. She deserves to be happy."

I tell him and he shakes his head agreeing with me. I look down at my hand and notice I am still wearing my ring and I don't want to lose it

"Fred, I'll be right back. I have to put something in the room"

"Oh alright Tre"

He says and I walk back to the room. I take off the ring and put it back in the box and put it a drawer.

I don't feel very talkative so I sit back on the bed and listen for voices in the hall that belong to AJ or Autumn.

*Autumn POV*

I thank the guys who fixed the basket for us. They said they put sandwiches, sodas, (Sodas so reek total awesomeness! Sorry, E&C moment!) and some fruit in the basket for us. They also put in some cookies.

I stand in the lobby for a few minutes and consider if I should stay put or go back upstairs. So I decide just to sit in the lobby and wait. I sit and watch HBO while the advertise "Fight Club".

I ask the front desk guy if I can change the channel because if Fred was to come down and see "Fight Club" on, the plans would soon change. I change it over to cartoons and sit watching them and also waiting on Tre, AJ, and Fred.

I have been sitting for a while and hear no voices so I get up and head out the door to find them all. I see AJ and Fred standing at the elevator talking.

"Hey guys, where's Autumn?" I ask them.

"Don't know. Maybe she is in the lobby waiting for us" Fred answers me.

"Well then I guess we should go see."

I say as I push the elevator button. I look at AJ and he is looking at me I know he can tell something is bothering me but he has no clue to what it is.

We get into the elevator and head down. We get to the lobby and walk out of the elevator and spot Autumn watcing Tv.

"Hey girly, there you are" I say when we walk up to her.

"Hey guys. I decided to wait for you down here. I figured you would get the hint and head down."

"Yep and here we are" Fred says leaning down to give her a kiss.

"Well we all ready?" She asks standing up.

"Yep lets get to the beach"

Aj says and we head to the car

*Autumn POV*

AJ decides that we'd be better off going in separate cars, just in case someone wants to leave early. Fred agrees. We all part ways. (please say you know who rides along with who, please!) Fred takes off first while AJ follows.

"So did you and Tre have a good talk?"

"Well, we didn't say much. She took her ring back in the room and stayed in there for a while and came back out."

I looked out the window.

"I just got this feeling she is letting something get to her," I said.

"Or maybe she is just homesick," Fred said.

"Who knows," I said.

I reached over and turned the radio on and sung until we got to the beach.

*Tre POV*

AJ looks at me once we get into the car

"Baby, what's wrong?"

I turn and look at him and I can tell he is concerned so I decide I better tell him the truth

"Well, I guess I am a little upset at the fact that my best friend is moving across country. I mean we've been friends since before I knew you and now she won't be there like she was before. I guess it bothers me, tho I don't know if it does her." I tell him.

He squeezes my hand

"I'm sorry sweetie, I should of known that was bothering you."

"It's ok, it shouldn't I guess. I mean she has found some one who cares about her and will treat her right, I hope. I should be happy for her, and I am really, I guess I am just going to miss hanging out with her all the time."

AJ shakes his head understanding what I mean more then anyone considering he has to leave people all the time to go on tour.

"Well you can still talk on the phone and computer" He reminds me.

"Yea I know" I say and turn and look out the window.

We finally arrive at the beach. Fred and I get out and then spot AJ and Tre. I look out at the beach.

"Wow...I expected a lot but I was wrong. This really doesn't look any different than Florida."

Fred laughs at me. Tre and AJ have now joined us. We find a spot and arrange out stuff.

"Okay, now if the guys aren't attacked by girls we are okay," I said.

I look over at Tre and can tell something bothering her, but I don't want to ask. AJ and Fred find a frisbee and go out to throw it.

"So Tre, you want your food now or whatever?"

*Tre POV*

I watch Fred and AJ throw the frisbee and have to laugh at them, the are a pair. Autumn asks me if I want my food

"I think I'll wait Autumn, I'm not feeling hungry right now. Thanks" I say to her.

"Oh, uhh ok"

She says and sits down and watches the guys too.

For once in all the time we have known each other, it is quiet between us. Both of us in our own thoughts.

"I think I'm going to go walk by the ocean"

I tell her and get up and head towards the water. I pass AJ and he looks at me and I know he is wondering what's going on and I just point to the water and he shakes his head and then makes a dive for the frisbee...and misses. I laugh at him sprawled out in the sand, he looks quite funny. He gets up and smiles at me and I continue walking to the water

*Autumn POV*

I sit and watch the guys and watch Tre walk off into the distance. I sit and think about how it will be different not to hang out with Tre. Seems like we aways done everything together: shop, talk, pick on AJ, and everything else. Tre was my support system and I was hers when AJ wasn't around. We always vented our anger and asked advice to each other. I sat and just thought until the frisbee landed close to me.

Fred ran over and asked if I wanted to toss the disc with him and AJ.

"Yeah."

I thought maybe it would take my mind off things.

*Tre POV*

I'm walking along the water and decide I was far enough away and decided to turn back. I see the guys and Autumn playing frisbee and think it looks like fun. I head back over to the picnic and grab a pop (soda south of the IL border) and watch them.

AJ notices me and comes over and asks me if I wanna play and I say yes so I head out with them. It was a lot of fun and a while later we decide it's time to eat.

"Dang it's warm"

AJ says grabing my pop and drinking it.

"Well geee just help yourself there babe" I say to him laughing

"Thanks baby, I think I will" He answeres me with a grin of his own.

Fred and Autumn are laughing at us.

"So what time do you leave tomorrow?" Fred asks AJ.

"OOPs, I haven't made any reservations yet" AJ says laughing

"AJ! Kevin is gonna so yell at you if we don't show up tomorrow" I tell him

"I know but dang baby I wanted to go to Paris with you and propose to you and they ruined that. They can wait." He says getting a little upset.

I feel bad for saying it, I know he is pretty pissed off still about the Paris trip.

"I'm sorry hun, your right" I tell him and give him a kiss on the cheek.

*Autumn POV*

I see Tre kiss AJ on the cheek and say

"I am trying to eat here. Can I finish?"

AJ and Tre look over at me and both say no and laugh. About this time, a group of girls walk over and start getting Fred and AJ's autographs. Tre says she will be back and I watch her walk to the rental car AJ got and I get up to strech my legs.

Once the girls leave, Fred catches up with me and ask if I want to walk for a while. I nod and we take off walking, leaving Tre and AJ alone.

"So you and Tre have known each other for a long time?" Fred ask.

"Yeah. She is the coolest person in the world. She has listened to me cry and complain about almost everything in the world."

Fred then ask how we met and asked about 40 more questions before we stopped and turned around. Each question I answered to a full extent.

"So are you gonna miss hangin out with her?"

I rolled my eyes.

"Yes I am."

Fred stopped me.

"Autumn, I want to ask you something and I want you to answer it honestly."

*Tre POV*

I walk back to where we have been sitting and see that not only are the girls gone but so are Fred and Autumn.

AJ is sitting there by himself staring out towards the horizon looking very content. I walk up behind him and sit down on my knees and wrap my arms around him

"Hey there" I say in his ear.

"Hi baby"

He says and grabs my arm and brings me to where I am facing him and laying in his arms.

"I wish we didn't have to leave tomorrow" He says to me looking into my eyes.

I smile and touch his face "I know sweetie, me either but we have to, it's your job" I say to him and lean up and give him a small kiss.

"I know it is but I really wanted to give you a real vacation, we have never really had one. Sure we've been places but it's all been work related. I want to take you some where and spoil you rotten and where it's just me and you"

He tells me and I can hear the wishfullness in his voice. I really never heard him talk about wanting that before so I am a little surprised

"Oh Alex, I enjoy everywhere we go, even if it is business related. I knew what I was getting into when we decided to get into this relationship, don't you worry we'll get a vacation together."

I say to him and he smiles

"Thanks babe for understanding. Not many girls would."

"Your welcome Alex. I'm not like many girls, you should know that by now"

I tell him smiling and he laughs

"Aint that the truth" He tells me

"HEY!"

I yell and he starts tickeling me.

*Autumn POV*

I look at Fred. "Okay, what do you want to ask me?"

"Are you sure you want to move all the way here from Florida?"

"Yes I am sure. I have nothing that great in Florida. I have no family, live alone, and have no great job. I'm leaving nothing there."

"Autumn, you are so damn wrong about that."

"What? What in the hell does that mean?"

Fred sighed. "You mean to tell me that Tre isn't anything? She seems like more than a friend to you. Sure you probably live alone, but at least you know AJ and Tre and maybe some more people. Maybe you should reconsider moving here with me."

Fred took off and I just stood there, shocked. I just watched him walk back to where Tre and AJ were.

I sat in the sand, confused about things. If I moved to California, I would miss Tre but if I went back to Florida and stayed, I would miss Fred. I sat and cried because I didn't know what I wanted to do.

*Tre POV*

AJ is still tickeling me when Fred walks up

"Hey you two" He says.

AJ stops and looks up and smiles

"Hey Fred"

I stand up and jump away from AJ's grasp

"Thank you Fred, you are my savior" I say to him and AJ laughs. "Wait, where's Autumn?" I ask him.

"Uh, she's over there"

He says pointing and I can see her sitting down in the sand.

"Umm ok" I say looking at him "Is there anything wrong?" I ask him. He shrugs and I take it that that meant I had to talk to Autumn "Ok, I'll be right back then." I tell them, give AJ a kiss and run down the beach to where Autumn is. I get to her and I can tell she is crying. "What's wrong girly?" I ask her sitting down beside her.

*Autumn POV*

I wipe my eyes. I tell Tre what Fred said. She sits and listens to me.

"I know he was right but Tre, I don't know what to do. I am just so damn confused, as always."

Tre reaches over and hugs me and reassures me that everything will work out for the best. I ask if she is sure and she says yes.

"Now, why don't we walk back to where the guys are and bug them? I know that will cheer you up. Maybe we can find something to throw at them." I started laughing. "See, don't you feel better?"

"Only a little."

"Well, Autumn it will all work out. I know Fred doesn't want to lose ya."

I nod and we walk back to where the guys are.
