Background
Elizabeth & Lucky have been friends since the Spencer's moved back to Port Charles after being on the run from Frank Smith. They live beside each other. Lucky and Elizabeth's windows are almost side by side. Sarah has been living in England most of her life (not really relevant to the story, but hey) and Elizabeth's parents have lived all over Europe. Lucky and the Spencer family has known about Nikolas since day 1 and Lucky and him were friends.

Chapter 1

"Lucky, Lucky!!!" Elizabeth yelled

Elizabeth picked up on of her hairbrushes and threw it into Lucky's bedroom window hoping to wake him up.

"Ouch!"

Lucky tumbled out of bed and walked up to his window, wearing only his boxer shorts.

"Elizabeth there are other ways to wake people up, other than giving them a head concussion."

"Lucky, we're going to be late, look at the time!"

Lucky scratched his head

"Why are we in such a hurry to get to school?"
"Lucky! Come on!"
"What?"
"I have that English test on Othello remember! You only quizzed me for it all week!"
"Oh yeah"

Elizabeth chucked a pen at him. Lucky laughed and smiled

"Alright, Alright! I'm going"
"Move it, Spencer!"
"I'm moving, I'm moving"

Elizabeth grabbed her bag and tossed it onto her back and took one final
look at herself in the mirror. Then she dashed downstairs.

"Bye Gram"
"Bye dear, have a good day. Oh! Good luck on that test!"
"Thanks Gram"

Elizabeth ran out the door and over to the Spencer's front door. She knocked as always.

"Elizabeth, how many times I have I told you, just let yourself in" Laura smiled at Lucky's oldest and closest friend
"I know, Laura, I will tomorrow I swear!"
"Lucky! Are you almost ready?" Laura called up
"Yep" Lucky said trotting down the stairs
"Lucky! That was fast, I'm impressed!" Elizabeth joked
"Yeah well, I don't have to fuss around with all that crap you do!" Lucky joked right back
"Shut up Spencer, we have to get going!"
"Alright. Bye Mom"
"Bye Laura!"
"Bye you two, have a good day"

Elizabeth and Lucky jumped into his car. Lucky had saved up all his summer jobs money to get that car.

"So, Elizabeth who manipulates all the characters?"
"Iago! Lucky give me a hard one!"
"Okay, chill Webber. Hum...Who does Cassio give Desdemona's missing
handkerchief to?"
"Bianca"
"Good. okay... next question"
"Wait, Lucky stop, I'm getting really nervous"

Lucky pulled into a parking space and school and turned towards her.

"Elizabeth, look at me"
"What?" Elizabeth said biting her lower lip
"Stop biting your lip. You know this play cold, your going to be fine"
"You think so?"
"Elizabeth have I ever lied to you"
"Never"
"See"
"Thank you Lucky!"

Elizabeth reached over and hugged him

"You're the best the best there is!"
"I know, I know!"
"Don't go getting an ego on me Spencer!"
"Will you just go to class already"
"Okay, bye! See you at lunch"

Elizabeth jumped out of the car and ran into the school building hoping to get to class on time. Lucky got out of his car in no hurry to get to his first class, Computer science. He knew more than the teacher, so he could pretty much get away with anything. Lucky was walking up to the building when he saw this beautiful girl walking beside him. She was high class, she had a tight knee length black skirt, with a red v-neck ??ngth shirt on. She had long brown coloured hair. Lucky had never seen her before in his life.

"Lucky! How are ya?"
"Nikolas, how was your latest trip to Europe?"
"Good"
" Hey, did to check out that new girl, man!"
"I know, her name is Emily. She just moved here. Apparently the
Quartermaines adopted her a while back, but she was sent away to boarding school. They finally let her come here."
"How do you know all this stuff about her"
"My Uncle's half sister Alexis knows the Quartermaines really well. That's how Emily and I became friends. She went to school in Greece and you know how I'm always going there, well we hang out a lot"
"Wait a minute, your friends with her! Why did I know about any of this?"
"Sorry I didn't think it was something that would interest you. I mean,
you're always with Liz"
"Nikolas, you know Elizabeth is my best friend. I've never had feelings for her in that way"
"Are you sure?"
"What kind of question is that?"
"Okay, I'm just checking"
"Why?"
"Well I've kinda had this thing for Liz for a while, but I always thought she was off limits"
"No offense Nikolas, but I don't think your Elizabeth's type"
"Well, what makes you so sure you could be Emily's type, cause believe me your not!"
"Well then, you'll just have to help me, with that won't you"
"Only if you help me with Liz"
"Alright, you're on"

Nikolas and Lucky headed their separate ways to their different classes.
Right after class, Lucky ran over to meet Elizabeth to see how she did.

"Lucky! You scared me!"
"Hey, I wanted to see how you did"


Elizabeth's eyes looked downwards. Lucky lifted up her chin with his finger.

"Elizabeth, you can't lie to me. I know you too well"

Elizabeth cracked a smile

"I aced it! Thanks to you" Elizabeth said as she hugged him
"Elizabeth, that's great!"

Lucky looked up from Elizabeth's eyes and saw Emily walking out of the room.Elizabeth noticed him staring

"Lucky, earth to Lucky Spencer"
"Hum"
"Spencer!" Elizabeth smacked his shoulder
"Ouch women! What?"
"Stare much at Emily?"
"You know her too?" Lucky was shocked
"No, I just met her. Lucky, you know every guy in school is after her"
"Elizabeth, she just got here, how can every guy be after her already?"
"Are you kidding? All the guys in class we're glued to her and look how they all stare at her in the halls. Don't bet yourself up over it"
"I'm gonna go talk to her"
"Good luck"

Lucky made his way over to Emily at her locker

"Hi"

Emily turned her head and looked at him

"What?"
"I wanted to welcome you to Port Charles"
"You're only the 100th one"

Lucky smiled 'Spencer, your crashing and burning' he thought to himself

"I'm Lucky Spencer"
"Good to know. See ya"

Emily totted away, leaving Lucky standing there. Elizabeth witnessed the
whole thing and walked over to him.

"See, she's all about attitude"
"Maybe" Lucky mumbled
"I gotta go. See you at lunch?" Lucky said
"Yep"

~~**~~

Elizabeth walked into her next class and sighed 'Fabulous Nikolas is back' she thought to herself

"Liz, hey, miss me?"

Elizabeth smirked

"Should I?"
"Aw come on, I know you missed me"

Elizabeth patted his head

"Keep dreaming"
"Only of you"

~~**~~

"See, that's the thing with Elizabeth. I've seen you with girls, Nik, your way too pushy. Elizabeth hates that"
"So you're saying I shouldn't talk to Liz"
"No, I'm saying, not be so forceful. Talk about other things than about how you feel for her all the time"

Elizabeth walked into the cafeteria and spotted Lucky sitting with Nikolas

"Oh great" Elizabeth mumbled

She walked over to Lucky and sat down.

"Elizabeth, hey"
"Hi Lucky *clears her throat* Nikolas"
"Angel"

Lucky shots Nikolas a look.

"I, ah, mean, Hey Liz"
"So, Nikolas isn't your buddy meeting you in the spectrum?"
"Hum oh, yeah, right, I'm gone"
"Bye Nikky" Elizabeth smirks
"Lucky, I know, he is your half brother and all, but I really can't believe you're related"

Lucky chuckles

"You know, his a really great guy once you get to know him"
"No thanks"
"You never know, who that Mr. Perfect is, he could be anyone"
"Oh please, Spencer, you know me better than that. Nikolas is cold and very pushy I could never go for him. I like guys like you"

Lucky raises an eyebrow. Elizabeth smacks his arm

"You know what I mean, honest, sincere, someone who isn't afraid to be
themselves and is comfortable with that"
"Awww, that was so sweet" Lucky teased
"Shut up!" Elizabeth laughed
"Yeah, it wouldn't hurt if he could play guitar too"
"Well maybe we should just clone me, what do you think?"
"Lucky!"

They both laughed and continued with their lunch.

~~**~~

"Hey Nikolas" Emily smiled
"Emily hey! How is PC treating you so far"

Emily sighed

"Only every boy in this school as welcomed me"
"Hey, did you meet a Lucky Spencer?"
"Yeah, yeah I think I did why?"
"His my half brother remember?"
"Oh yeah, no it didn't click when he told me his name. So what's his story?"
"Well his really a great guy?"
"Who was that girl I saw him with his girlfriend?" Emily interrupted
"Elizabeth?"
"I guess, is that her name?"
"Yeah, Lucky and Elizabeth are best friends"
"You know I think there is something more between them, they just don't know it" Emily smiled
"I've thought that too. You wanna know the truth?"
"Generally that's a good thing"
"Lucky and I were gonna work together to get you and him together and
Elizabeth and I together, but I have a better idea"
"Good, because, no offence I mean, he seemed nice and he definitely wasn't hard to look at, but I just don't think we'd click"

Nikolas smiled

"I think we should make Lucky think that he is getting hooked up with you, and me with Elizabeth, but we should get them together"

Emily smiled

"Mummm, new town, new mischief! I'm in"

Chapter 3


LATER THAT DAY

Elizabeth took a deep breath. ‘Come on Liz, its just Lucky, you’re just walking into the cafeteria like every other day’ she thought to herself.

Elizabeth took one final deep breath and opened the door and walked in. She spotted Lucky and felt a sudden stab of a mixture of hurt and jealously. Lucky was there sitting and talking with Emily. Nikolas walked up behind her.

“Cute couple, don’t you think” Nikolas tried to hide a smile
“Mummm…yea…..yea I guess” Elizabeth was too lost in her thoughts to even notice who she was talking too.

Almost as if Lucky knew Elizabeth came in he looked up and saw her. She was standing with Nikolas and she seemed lost as she said something to him. As Emily was still chatting on to him, he waved them over to sit.

“Angel, I think he wants to double” Nikolas had to fight everything in him not to laugh

That was all Elizabeth needed to bring her back. Elizabeth turned around and ran out of the cafeteria. She didn’t know why, but she had to get away fast!
Lucky had watched the whole scene.

“Mum, Emily…I have to go” Lucky interrupted her mid sentence

Lucky got up and followed Elizabeth’s direction out. He stopped once he got in the hallway, Elizabeth was no where in sight. He started to head towards the art rooms, but no success, then all around the upper level, still no Elizabeth. Finally it dawned on him, the field.
~~**~~
Nikolas walked over to Emily and sat down

Emily smiled, “That was classic! I don’t think Lucky heard a thing I was saying!”
“Yes, it was good. Elizabeth didn’t even realize who she was talking too, when she saw you two at the table”

Emily looked at her watch

“Oh geeze! I gotta go. Walk me to class?” Emily smiled
“My pleasure”

Nikolas and Emily walked out of the cafeteria

“So Emily, where is your next class?”
“Upstairs, it’s English”

Nikolas and Emily walked up to the second floor. Emily looked briefly out the large window at stairs and grabbed Nikolas’ arm.

“Nik, look!” Emily squealed

Nikolas looked to see what Emily was talking about. There was Elizabeth sitting and sketching on the football field spectator’s bleachers. She was completely unaware that Lucky was walking up behind her.

~~**~~

Elizabeth sat there under the warm sun and continued to sketch in her sketchbook. Lucky made his way to where she was.

“Elizabeth”

Elizabeth stopped drawing and looked up, not behind her, where he was, just straight ahead. Lucky walked closer and sat right in front of her. Their eyes locked.

“Hi Lucky” Elizabeth let out a fake semi smile.
“Elizabeth, what happened? I saw you take off in the cafeteria. All day you have been really distant. Is all this because of what happened last night?”

They both broke eye contact when he started to mention ‘last night’, in other words, that mind shattering kiss.

“Last night was a fluke, Lucky. It shouldn’t have happened. I don’t wanna lose you as my best friend. I’ve heard so many stories just like this, where friendship is completely ruined or never the same, I just don’t want that to happen to us.” Elizabeth kept babbling

“Elizabeth, Elizabeth. Slow down, you’re talking a mile a minute here!”
Lucky smiled

Elizabeth stopped and bit her lower lip

“Elizabeth, look you’re right it was a fluke. We just got caught in a moment that’s all. And I’m sorry, but no matter what happens, I’m pretty sure you’re stuck with me for life. Come on, we lasted this long right, even through puberty!”

They both started laughing

“Yeah, I guess, if we can get through that, we can probably get through anything awkward.” Elizabeth smiled
“See!”

They both chuckled again

Lucky got up and held his hand out to help her up. They both headed into the building.

“So why did you dart from the cafeteria?”
“hum…Nikolas was acting like such a jerk” Elizabeth hadn’t lied…she just didn’t tell the whole truth.
Lucky chuckled, “When are you two gonna get along?”
“Never!” Elizabeth laughed
“Come on, we gotta get to class”

~~**~~

“Did you see that! They were both laughing, that’s much better than avoiding each other. Looks like they got everything out in the open”
“They cleared things up for now Emily, but I wonder if they really cleared everything up”
“Good point, they probably just avoided the whole ‘I love you, but I’m too scared to tell you, cause I’m afraid I’ll lose you’ thing”

Emily and Nikolas chuckled

“Oh! I really gotta go to class!”

Chapter 4

A week had passed, Liz and Lucky were back to normal…not really but they pretended they were. Emily and Nik stopped awhile so they could think of what they could do. They all had decided they wanted to go on the upcoming camping trip the school was having, and to all of their parents said yes.

Liz walked out to Lucky’s car putting a bag in, Lucky looked at her. “How many bags are you taking?” he asked Liz smiled “Hey back off I only have three and that’s it!”

Nikolas drove up with Emily in a jeep. They smiled as they jumped out walking over to them.

“Are you guys ready yet?” Lucky chuckled “Relax Cassadine you act like you’ve never been camping before…wait a minute you haven’t!” Nik smirked at him “Funny!” Emily stepped in “Don’t worry Nik I’ve never been camping before either” Lucky smiled “You guys don’t know what you’re missing, I’m glad you all get to go on this trip.” Liz smiled at him “Yeah it’s going to be really fun!” Lucky glanced at her a moment “Yeah we’re gonna make sure you guys have as much fun as we did when we first camped.” Liz glanced at Lucky “Lucky you camped a lot more than I did, when I did camp the first time was with you in the backyard!” they all chuckled. Lucky smiled “But that was fun!”

Emily glanced at Nik who smirked at her. Emily stood by Lucky her arm wrapped around his shoulder.

“I’m sure it’s going to be great!” she said.

Liz picked up on Emily’s move and didn’t like it a bit, but she didn’t want to say anything she moved away a bit loading her last bag in Lucky’s truck. Nik smiled seeing how uncomfortable she was, Lucky turned his head for something and Nik winked at Emily. Lucky turned back to both of them knowing something was wrong with Liz.

“We should get going, we gotta check into school before we head up.” Nik spoke up “Yeah! Come on Em let’s go. We’ll meet you guys there.” Lucky nodded smiling Nik and Emily walked to his jeep and drove away.

Lucky walked over to Liz smiling at her, she was looking at the cd’s for the trip. Lucky smiled down at her turning around leaning on the car.

"Elizabeth are you alright?" “Yes Lucky! We have to go! We want to be able to get up there and get a good spot before the others don’t we? Just thought I’d speed things up.”

Lucky shrugged knowing there was something up, but he knew she’d tell him, when she wanted to. They got into his truck driving off.

They had gotten to the school and signed in also getting directions to the sight. After driving for a while they finally reached to campsite. Lucky and Elizabeth were the first ones there. The first thing they did was set up their tent. Emily and Nik showed up shortly after them. Lucky and Liz were putting the final touches on the tent, when Nikolas and Emily came over.

“Nice tent!” Emily remarked. Nikolas started setting up their equipment by Lucky and Liz. They all got their tents put together and a fire started. The place was filling up with kids from school, they were glad they were in a more secluded, private area. Emily smiled at Liz as they were collecting some wood for the fire.

“So you’re not the least bit worried about sharing a tent with Lucky?” Em asked her.

Liz shrugged “We’ve shared a tent before it’s no biggy. Why you don’t like sharing a tent with Nik? Then again I wouldn’t either!”

Emily chuckled “He’s actually a really cool guy Liz, it’s not that I don’t like it. I’ve been stuck in an all girl school for the past 5 years and this is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this. It’s just a bit nerve- racking”

Liz chuckled “I could probably see why you’re nervous, but I’ve never been in your shoes though. Do you trust Nikolas?”

Emily nodded “Well yeah he’s my best friend.”

Liz smiled “Well that’s all you need!”

Emily chuckled “Thanks, I’m gonna go ahead and take these back okay? Can you find your way back it’s getting dark fast and I think it’s going to rain.

Liz nodded “I can get back alright.”

Emily smiled and started finding her way back, Liz sighed looking around finding another good log. She sighed and sat down on a big rock nearby looking up through the trees at the cloudy sky. She heard a branch break and jumped a bit. She grabbed her flashlight waving it around to see whom it was, she saw Lucky who was waving her off she turned the flashlight off.

Lucky smiled at her “Emily said that you were still out here, I got worried you would get lost.”

Liz chuckled “I’m fine! But thank you, I was just sitting here taking a rest for a moment.”

Lucky sat down by her on the rock, “You okay? You’ve seemed kind of out of it today.”

Liz smiled “I’m fine Lucky, just enjoying the good old outdoors.”

"A lot OF nice peace and quiet, but we should probably be getting back. Don’t want to keep our new campers waiting!”

They both chuckled and walked back to the camp.

They had gotten through dinner fast making jokes and having fun, they finally got so tired that they all went to bed. Emily crawled into her sleeping bag, as Nik crawled into his.

“Think this time alone we’ve been giving them is working?” Em asked.

“I don’t know they’re really good at hiding it.” Nik looked over at her, she looked back at him.

“I’ve been trying my best to make her jealous.”

“You did though, don’t you notice how she never looks at the two of you?”

“Yeah I guess you’re right, this is still fun.”

“Yeah I’m beginning to like the outdoors.” They both chuckled at that and went to sleep.

Liz’s back was turned, Lucky sighed crawling into his bag.

“Goodnight.”

“Goodnight Lucky.”

They both tried to go to sleep, 30 minutes later. Liz flipped over looking at Lucky who was staring straight up.

“Can’t sleep either?”

Lucky sighed “Yeah I’m just worried about something.”

Liz’s eyebrows furrowed a bit “What?”

Lucky turned on his side looking at her they weren’t the far apart. “I’m worried about us.”

Liz sighed, she heard it start to rain outside “Lucky, we’re friends best friends” she sat up also.

Lucky sighed

Liz closed her eye for a moment “I’m scared”

Lucky raised an eyebrow and locked eyes with her “What are you scared of?”

She looked at him "I don’t think Emily is the right girl for you."

"Why not...You two seemed to be getting along?"

"I don’t know Lucky, I’m just telling you that she isn’t right for you. I know you, and I just have this feeling..."

"Elizabeth! I really like her. I think we’d be great together."

"I know” Liz whispered

"Then why can’t you support me?"

"I'm, sorry Lucky! I was just telling you how I feel!"

"What about how I feel?"

"You wanna go out with her? Fine! Be my guest!"

"Fine I will!"

Liz got up and ran out of the tent. Lucky called after her, but she was already running through the forest not caring where she was going, she just couldn’t take it anymore in that tent. She continued running for quite awhile, knowing Lucky was probably chasing after her. As she was running, she tripped twisting her ankle and bumping her head on a rock pretty hard. She started crying not just for the pain but also for pushing away her best friend. She crawled to a tree and propped herself up trying not to go to sleep though.

When I'm lost in the rain,

In your eyes I know

I'll find the light to light my way

And when I'm scared, losing ground

When my world is going crazy

You can turn it all around and when I'm down you're there

Pushing me to the top

You're always there, giving me all you've got

Lucky had woken up Emily and Nikolas and put some pants on real quick, he searched through the forest. Nikolas was on the other side of the forest and Emily was at the camp in case she might come back. Lucky was crying he didn’t know why he yelled at her like that. The only thing he knew right now was that he had to find her.

For a shield from the storm

For a friend

For a love to keep me safe and warm

I turn to you

For the strength to be strong

For the will to carry on

For everything you do

For everything that's true

I turn to you

Liz looked around everything was in a haze. She was tired and her head and ankle hurt. She was so cold. She curled up into a ball and fell asleep.

When I lose the will to win

I just reach for you

And I can reach the sky again

I can do anything

'Cause your love is so amazing

'Cause your love inspires me

And when I need a friend

You're always on my side

Giving me faith, taking me through the night


For a shield from the storm

For a friend

For a love to keep me safe and warm

I turn to you

For the strength to be strong

For the will to carry on

For everything you do

I turn to you

Lucky continued to search, stopping for only a moment trying to think of where she could be, he continue to look for her, running his flashlight over everything he could. He finally saw her. Running over to her lying on the ground in a ball, she was drenched but so was he. “Liz!” he picked her up holding her in his arms holding on to her.

For the arms to be my shelter

Through all the rain

For truth that will never change

For someone to lean on

For a heart I can rely on through anything

For the one who I can run to...I turn to you

Lucky woke up the next morning Liz still curled up in his lap, he looked around noticing the rain had stopped the sun was coming out, he looked down at Liz seeing the tiny bit of blood drip from her head. He tried to wake her up, she opened her eyes looking up at him, and he smiled a bit.

For a shield from the storm

For a friend

For a love to keep me safe and warm

I turn to you

For the strength to be strong

For the will to carry on

For everything you do

For everything that's true

I turn to you

Lucky had gotten her back to camp by carrying her he set her in their tent and laid by her helping her head. Watching her sleep he spoke softly choking out the words a bit “I'm so sorry Elizabeth.” Lucky sighed, as he watched her sleep.

For everything you do

For everything that's true

I turn to you
