~~Saturday, L.A.~~

Lizzie POV

"Okay Rose, no running off, stay next to at least one of us at all times so we know where you are okay?" Scarlett kneels infront of Rose next to the car, giving her some safety rules for the day since the Park can get really busy. Rose is such a smart kid, and she is so well behaved so I know Scarlett has no need to be majorly strict with her. She quickly smiles and agrees to what Scarlett is telling her as I stand with Harley as she makes sure she has everything in her rucksack that we are going to need. We didn't bring much, but she made sure to have some essentials, as well as some bottles of water and her trusty first aid kit she keeps on her just in case. It's not overly warm today, but I decided on putting a small jacket in the bag for if I need it later. Harley on the other hand, looks REALLY good in her pale pink bomber style jacket she slipped into after we got out the car. "Is this one of Maisie's picks by any chance Soldier?" I tease as I tug at the front of her jacket playfully. "And what makes you think that?" She teases back, closing the trunk of the car and turning to face where I am standing. "Gut feeling..?" I whisper, stepping in closer to her. "As much as I hate to admit it.. Your right on this one. Do you approve?" She asks and I quickly nod my head in reply. "I really do.." I whisper, tugging her down to meet my lips in a quick kiss before we hear little feet rushing to join us. "Come on you two! Let's go!" Rose yells excitedly making us both laugh as she runs back to where Scarlett must be on the other side of the car. "Let's go Soldier." I reach for Harley's hand, my nerves dancing with excitement as I get to show off Harley by my side, feeling better every time we go out together and get to be ourselves. I was so worried about being so public with Harley to begin with, but having this feeling with my hand in hers, I would go through anything to feel this every day. Harley makes everything so much easier. And even though we get our share of hate comments online, having Harley to help work past them is something new, but it also gives me the support I need to not let my thoughts spiral. She keeps me safe, makes me feel secure and happier than I have ever been. No one can swipe this permanent smile from my face.

"Who's ready for the mayhem to begin?" Scarlett jokes as we all begin our walk towards the main entrance. Rose is standing between me and Scarlett, holding a hand each, as Harley is on my other side with my free hand in hers. I have some sunglasses on, as does Harley, and Scarlett is wearing a baseball cap so we can hopefully get through the main gates without being seen. We join our queue, staying close together so we can keep Rose safely between us all as Harley keeps a protective arm around me. We manage to keep Rose entertained for the small wait before we make it to the front gates. Scarlett argues and eventually gets her own way on paying for everyone's tickets for the day as a thank you for letting her and Rose stay at my place, I know how stubborn she is do I don't fight her on it, but Harley gives it her best shot before eventually giving in reluctantly. I can't help but laugh at her small frown as she takes Rose and lifts her into her arms as Scarlett gets our tickets. I love seeing Harley's protective side, especially when it comes to kids. It just makes me fall head over heels for her over and over again. "Do you like rides Harley?" Rose asks adorably as she rests her hands on top of Harley's shoulders. "I certainly do little one. Do you?" Harley asks excitedly in reply, matching Rose's energy even though she has barely slept. These two are going to melt my heart today. "Yay!" Rose cheers just as Scarlett calls us through to get our wristbands on. Once we are all ready to go, we make our way inside, Harley shifting Rose up onto her shoulders so she is safe and can see the Park as we all walk inside. Scarlett decides on joining my side as Harley is still on my other side, her hand finding mine with ease as her other hand is holding onto Rose's legs to keep her from falling backwards. We walk inside, the Park opening up infront of us as the crowds begin to disperse and we can slowly relax. "Okay Rose, where too first?" Harley asks as Rose is holding out a map over the top of Harley's head. I catch Scarlett sneaking some photos of them both as we all wait patiently for her decision. She soon directs us to some rides she wants to go on, so Harley skips off infront, leaving me and Scarlett not too far behind. "That girl of yours is just a big kid." Scarlett jokes as she links my arm. "That she is." I agree easily and we both laugh as we watch them both laughing and joking together.

I fall into easy conversation with Scarlett as our eyes stay on Harley and Rose. The both of them making plans of where to go and what rides Rose wants to go on before our conversation is cut off when we hear Rose suddenly ask Harley a question. "Who is your favourite Princess Harley?" We both seem to zone in to wait for her answer, not knowing why we want to know but we move a little closer as Harley looks up slightly towards where Rose is on her shoulders. "That's an easy one, your Auntie Lizzie, obviously." Harley quickly replies and I feel like my heart is going to explode from my chest. I catch Scarlett grinning beside me, obviously hearing exactly what I did, and I look over and see her eyebrows wiggling as she nudges my side playfully. I can't hide my blushing cheeks as we hear Rose giggling infront of us. "No silly, I mean Disney Princess!" We both laugh at Rose as Harley playfully wiggles her on her shoulders to make her laugh louder. "Oh! I see, well in that case, it would have to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast." Harley jokes and I can't help my racing heart seeing her like this. She is so relaxed and her smile has never faltered. I love this side of Harley, but then again, I love every side of Harley. Nothing could make me love her any less. "My favourite is Elsa!" Rose cheers, snapping me from my thoughts as I hear Scarlett laughing beside me as we finally make it to where some of the smaller rides are. Rose cheers as she spots the rides and Harley takes off matching her energy as we both follow behind them to the first ride Rose is ready to get onto. We fill most of the morning with entertaining Rose on some smaller rides, thankfully Harley is dragged onto most of them so we get to enjoy them laughing and having the best time. We both make sure to take photos and videos of them both together, Scarlett admiring with how comfortable Rose is with Harley, but I'm not surprised considering how Harley is with everyone around her. She makes everyone so at ease and puts everyone before herself. But seeing the way she is with Rose is even more amazing than I ever thought it would be.

After more rides and games, we all feel our belly's rumbling so we decide on finding somewhere for a late lunch. Thankfully, we manage to find somewhere a little quieter so we can relax and enjoy our food. We find a booth table so we can keep to ourselves before looking over the menus to see what we would like to eat. "I'll head up and order for us, what are we all having?" Harley offers sweetly, knowing we are hoping to stay out of the public eye today since Rose is with us, but I don't want to be away from her today. Not after knowing she had a restless night last night. "I'll come up and help you." I say once Scarlett decides on her food and Rose makes a quick decision on a burger. "We'll be back." I turn and tell them both before quickly jumping to my feet and wrapping my arm around Harley's body. She wraps her arm around me in return, keeping me close since we have been pretty seperate all morning. I rest my head on her side, feeling impossibly happier being back in her arms as we join the line and wait to order. "You doing okay Soldier?" I ask softly, wanting to just check in with her. "I am baby, how's my girl?" She quickly replies and I can't help but melt at her words. "I couldn't be happier.." I whisper just enough for her to hear as she cuddles me closer and kisses my head. "So, I'm your favourite Princess hm?" I tease looking up towards Harley, seeing her lips pull into a grin. "Of course you are baby." She teases back, leaving a lingering kiss on the side of my head as her other hand reaches for mine and laces our fingers together. "Really?" I mumble nervously, feeling a sudden shyness taking over my body. "No doubt about it Princess." Harley whispers in a low tone near my ear, sending shivers down my spine as I feel her breathing down my neck with how close she suddenly is. "Stop teasing.." I mumble, earning a small laugh from Harley. "Does someone like being called Princess?" She teases further, my fingers mindlessly playing with her rings on her fingers as I nuzzle my head into her side. "Anything sounds good coming from you Soldier.." I whisper, making her chuckle at my obvious shyness and blushing cheeks. "Your adorable baby." This girl has too much power over me with just her words..

After finishing our later lunch, we began walking around the Park, taking in as much as we can whilst we let our food settle. The Park was pretty busy but we manage to avoid the bigger crowds, keeping Rose close as we all laughed and spent some real quality time together. We ended up indulging on sweet treats from different places, sharing ice creams and churros, sweets and different flavoured drinks, as well as meeting characters on our way. I've never seen Rose laugh so much, but seeing her with Harley has been so cute. Even though I have felt like I have lost my girlfriend for the day, it's worth it seeing Rose so happy. "Mommy! Come on, come on this ride with me!" Rose cheers as she points to a ride off in the short distance. Scarlett quickly beams over and runs over, scooping Rose into her arms and rushing off towards the ride leaving us behind. I look over and catch Harley already looking back at me, her smile so wide as she waits for me to catch up to her. I find my feet skipping to get to her quicker, my smile growing impossibly bigger as I meet her mesmerizing gaze that is still firmly on me. "Hey you.." She beams, lacing our fingers together as soon as I reach out for her hand. "Hi Soldier." I reply easily, getting lost in her almost golden eyes in the L.A sun. "I've missed you today beautiful." Harley says in a hushed tone, just enough for me to hear as she tugs me gently towards her. "I've missed you too Angel. You keep getting stolen away from me.." I tease and she quickly chuckles as she leaves a long kiss against my temple which I easily melt into. "Are you jealous of another girl in my life Olsen!" Harley acts faux shocked, lifting her hand to her chest making me giggle as I push her away jokingly. "Of course not Soldier, but I am stealing you back for now." I tease back just as something catches my eye behind Harley. I glance over, seeing Scarlett and Rose waiting in line for the ride, both of them paying us no attention so I turn back towards Harley and smile at the idea that has come to my head. "Come with me.." I quickly say in a hushed tone, tugging her hand in mine to turn her around as we pretty much sneak off away from where Scarlett and Rose left us. "What are you up too Lizzie?" She laughs from behind as I skip off, dragging her hand behind me.

"A photo booth?" Harley questions as we get to the little novelty photo booth set up not too far from the ride Rose and Scarlett are heading onto. "With a curtain.." I tease and tug her inside with me, pulling the curtain shut behind us. It's a lot smaller inside that what I thought it would be, but I'm not complaining. I push Harley down by her shoulders onto the chair, letting her get comfortable before I carefully take a seat on her lap. Harley easily welcomes me, wrapping an arm around my waist as her other hand lays on my lap once I am sitting down. "So, this was your master plan huh Olsen?" Harley teases as she nips my waist and thigh playfully, making me giggle as I squirm slightly in her arms. "Well I had to find a way to get you all to myself Soldier.." I whisper, feeling myself leaning into her as my eyes never leave hers. She has such an intense gaze, never being afraid of holding eye contact. Something that made me both nervous and drew me in. And I've noticed over time that she doesn't hold the same eye contact with others as she does with me, a certain glint in her eyes when she turns all her attention to me. "You are so sneaky Elizabeth Chase." She whispers in reply, now ghosting my lips we are so close to one another. For some reason, hearing her say my full given name sends my nerves off with shivers rushing down my spine. Not many people call me by my full name, but Harley being one of them I could get very used too. But when I feel how hot my cheeks are burning, I let my head drop down to her shoulder, hiding my face in the crook of her neck as her arm wraps around my waist a little tighter. "You need to stop full-naming me Harley!" I complain, mumbling into her neck causing her to laugh lightly as her hand grips onto my leg. "No need to be shy around me baby, I've seen you blush before." Harley carries on teasing and I don't know how much more I can take. She makes me feel so weak, like I'm a teenager getting all embarressed around her high school crush. I don't think I have ever been like this around anyone I have been with before Harley.. She's deffinently one of a kind.

"Angel.. I need you to behave yourself or everyone is going to see how red you make my cheeks!" I mumble through my laughter, making Harley laugh just as much as she squeezes at my waist. "I'm sorry baby, I'll try and behave if you stop hiding." She adds so I nod my head and give myself another minute to calm my blushing cheeks before I slowly look up and meet Harley's soft, adoring gaze already looking back at me. I love it when she looks at me like I am the only girl in the world. "Come here Soldier.." I whisper, tugging at her jacket to pull her lips into mine. We instantly fall into a loving kiss, no lust or want, just pure love and adoration. I still catch my breath at how much of an incredible kisser Harley is. The way she is both gentle and dominant, how perfect my lips mould against hers. How when I part my lips ever so slightly, the tip of her tongue teases at my bottom lip, urging me to let her in. And when I finally do, her tongue soon finds my own, teasing me ever so slightly as she knows exactly what to do to leave me breathless. "I've missed this.." Harley whispers against my lips, breaking our kiss as I nod my head softly in reply, letting my eyes flicker open and meet her slightly darkened ones. "I love you so much Harley." I let the words leave my lips as if it's the first time I have said those words to her, my heart racing in my chest as I get lost in her eyes, my fingers running along her perfect jawline. "I love you too Elizabeth Chase." She tells me with so much love in her eyes, I never want to forget this moment. Something about the way she is looking at me right now making me feel as though nothing can ever hurt me again. My entire future swirling in her golden brown and blue orbs. "I want a picture.." I say softly, causing Harley to smile as her face lights up at the idea. I beam as I turn towards the screen infront of us, putting some money in to get us started. Harley holds me close on her lap as I go through the instructions, giggling as Harley keeps tickling my side and legs to make me squirm in her arms. I love how playful Harley can be, just another thing I fell for, how easily she can make me laugh no matter what I am feeling. She can put a smile on my face and make me forget all the bad thoughts.

"Okay ready?" I tease, looking back to see Harley's cheeky grin as her eyes have never left me since I dragged her in here. "Ready as I'll ever be." She teases in reply as I just beam a bright smile. I move slightly in her grasp, making sure that Harley is visible in the pictures as our faces pop up on the screen. Once we both comfortable again, I feel Harley's hands slide around my body again, laying on my legs just below the cameras view. She holds me safely as I lean forward slightly, pressing the button to start before leaning back into Harley's body. We watch the countdown play on the screen infront of us, our smiles already beaming before the first flash goes off with us both smiling into the camera. I feel Harley's lips on my cheek ready for the second flash, which makes me giggle as the second photo is taken. I pull away slightly from Harley's lips, lifting my hands to her neck and pulling her in for a kiss for the third photo before we both fall into fits of laughter after the flash. "Quick! Last one!" I say between giggling so we both turn back and make stupid faces for the last photo. I can't help but burst out laughing as the photos flash onto the screen before I press print. "Should we just hide in here for the rest of the day?" I whisper, leaning my head down on Harley's shoulder as we wait for the pictures to print, feeling so happy in this moment with the one I adore with every part of me. "We could, or we could enjoy the rest of the day and then you can have me all to yourself at home." Harley adds and I can't help but beam at her words. But before I can say anything else, we are rudely interupted by the curtain of the photo booth whipping open, making us both jump before the sound of my best friend's voice makes us burst into laughter. "There you both are!" She cheers, grinning between us as she sees how beaming smiles. "Interruption number 3 Johansson! Your on thin ice.." Harley warns playfully, making us both laugh before we are all interupted by Rose rushing into the booth to join us. "Group Photos!" Rose cheers, and before I know it, all four of us are squeezing into the booth, Rose now on Harley's leg, me on her other, as Scarlett is kneeling slightly infront us all. Fits of laughter filling the small booth as we take so many pictures together. Memories to last forever right here.


~~Saturday Late Afternoon, L.A.~~

Normal POV

After an amazing day spent in the Park just the four of us, the day was dimming around us. But as we were walking around, Rose spotted a sign for the fireworks show and instantly was begging Scarlett to let us stay to watch it. Of course, we all agreed, seeing how bright her eyes were at the thought of watching the show. So we kept her as busy as we all could for the rest of the day until the sun started to Set around us. We made our way to a quiet area, not wanting to be too over-crowded as people started to gather around for the show to start. Lizzie made sure to stand between myself and Scarlett as Rose is standing infront of her. We all had a cup of hot chocolate, whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles towering the top of the cups in our hands. The temperature seemed to drop a little the later it was getting, and as if on cue, I felt Lizzie shiver slightly beside me. "Are you cold baby?" I ask quietly near her ear, causing her to turn to face me. "A little.." She replies, trying not to let her teeth chatter as she does. "Hold this for me." I hand her my cup, making her look up at me a little confused before I step back slightly and start to take off my jacket. "Harley it's okay I-" She begins to argue but I wave her off as I take my jacket off and give her a small smile. "I'm not going to let you stand here and get cold Lizzie." I tell her softly as I drape the jacket over her shoulders before taking both the hot chocolates from her hands so she can pull it over her body as much as she can and then takes her drink back from my hand. "Thank you Angel.." She beams up at me, leaning up on her tip toes to give me a quick kiss, just as a flash goes off. We both turn in the direction and see Scarlett holding her phone out infront of her. "What? Your both cute together, I can't help it." Se defends and we both laugh at her antics before we all turn and see the countdown starting. I look down and see Rose struggling to see it so I hand Lizzie my drink and then carefully kneel down and lift Rose up and onto my shoulders, making her giggle as she holds onto the last of her hot chocolate tightly. Once she is settled up on my shoulders, I use one arm to hold her legs and take my drink in the other. Seeing both Scarlett and Lizzie smiling widely seeing Rose a lot happier now she can see everything that is going on.
