Aly finally dragged Ava outside, after lots of convincing and calming down of her nerves. They found Ashton in a pretty intense game of pong. It was him and Micheal against Ryan and Andy.

"Hey!" Aly announced their presence, putting her arm around Ava's shoulders, "We wanna play winner," based on a quick glance on the table that was soon to be Micheal and Ashton.

"I don't know if you can handle this heat," Ashton smirked, focused on aiming the pong ball.

"Oh really?" Aly hummed.

After his ball made it into one of the few cups still on the table, Ashton finally looked over at the two girls. Aly smirked as she noticed him eye Ava, head to toe. She couldn't blame him, her costume was the perfect mix of sexy and cute.

"You're on," he nodded as Micheal took his shot.

A few minutes later, Ashton and Micheal won, just as Aly had hoped.

"Ready to get you ass kicked, Irwin?" Aly smirked setting the cups back up.

"Don't get too cocky," Ashton shook his head.

"Also," Aly smiled, tilting her head towards Ava, "This is Ava, we work together. The one who never shuts up is Ashton and the nice one is Micheal."

Micheal waved with a simple hello. Ashton gave Ava a very warm and inviting smile, "Nice to meet you, I'm sorry you're friends with Aly."

"Hey!" Aly gasped, "You're also friends with me!"

"And I don't know why," Ashton laughed.

"Fuck you, let's play," Aly smiled picking up one of the small ping pong balls.

They were more than half way through the game when Aly stood in the middle of the table, squinting at the four cups left in front of Ashton and Micheal.

Ava laughed beside her as the two boys taunted Aly.

"God I hate you both," Aly glared at them as they acted like little kids, shaking their butts right behind where she needed to throw the ball.

"What the hell is going on?" Calum's accent broke Aly's concentration, making her look over at him.

"You're friends are twelve years old," Aly turned back to the table, finally tossing the ball. She watched it spin across the top of the front cup.

"Yes!" she cheered turning to high five Ava, that shot left the girls with only two cups and the boys with four.

"Good luck boys," Ava smiled as the two boys both picked the pong balls from the cups. She stood with her arm around Aly's waist, the two girls leaning on each other.

"Let me help you two out," Calum walked over to Ashton taking the ball from him.

"Hey! You're supposed to be on my side!" Aly crossed her arms over her chest.

"My boys need my help more than you," he winked at her, making her knees weak without even trying.

Ava felt the shift in Aly's body, and turned to see her, whispering, "Calm yourself."
