A few weeks of rehearsals had gone by. Ariana and Aaron were closer than ever. They spent all of their free time together and the cast were all just waiting for one of them to make a move.
"Aaron!" Skylar announced as he walked up to his friend who sat in the hotel lobby. The group were all planning to hang out but it appeared that the only two ready were Aaron and Skylar.
"What's up, man!" Aaron greeted him as Skylar sat down on the lobby sofas beside him.
"Nothing much, um, one question." Skylar said.
"Shoot."
"When are you gonna make your move on Ari?" He blurted out.
Aaron sat up, "What do you mean?" He asked.
"Come on, anyone with eyes can see you two like each other." Skylar continued.
"You think she likes me?" Skylar sat back and laughed when Aaron asked this.
"Aaron, she definitely likes you."
"Well, I didn't know that. Um, you think I should make a move?" Aaron shifted, did Ari actually like him?
"Yes you should make a move. If you don't say something tonight I'm gonna be pissed." Both of them laughed as rest of the group walked up to them.
They headed out of the lobby and started thinking up things to do. They had the day off so their plan was to do something all together but no one actually decided on what they were doing.
"Guys, Universal Studios is only a 6 minute drive." Ari suggested, "We could get a cab down, I think it'll be fun. Plus, I've never been."
"You've never been to Universal?" Nicole gasped, "we're going."
With that, the group booked two Ubers and split the group and headed for the theme park. Ari was so excited, she had always wanted to go but whenever they came to America when she was little, they always stayed round New York.
When the Uber pulled up at Universal, Ari got out and jumped up and down with excitement making Aaron laugh beside her.
"Come on." Aaron led her through Universal as the group followed closely behind them. They were all discussing how to set a mood where one of them would eventually ask the other out.
"So what's first on your list?" Aaron looked down at the girl beside him and she shrugged.
"Maybe, Harry Potter world?" She suggested and Aaron nodded.
"Right this way." He turned back to shout at the group, "We're doing Harry Potter World first."
They nodded and also followed Aaron. The group went on as many rides as possible before it started getting dark. As the night crept in on them, they headed back to the Harry Potter area to watch the night time lights go on at Hogwarts castle.
Aaron grew nervous, he wanted to say something to Ari and he was hoping to say it whilst they were at the castle. But, unknown to him, the group also wanted this so when they arrived, Ari and Aaron were left alone together whilst the others suggested getting the drinks together.
As the lights went on, Ari smiled. She'd had the best day, but it was only going to get better.
"Ari?" Aaron watched the girl spin to face him with a the smile on her face, "This might sound crazy, but I was speaking to Skylar and he convinced me to say this. I like you, and I know we've only known each other for 3 weeks but I wanted to ask if you would be my girlfriend. I completely understand if this is all too soon and if you wanna just stay friends that's cool."
"Aaron." Ari laughed at his rant, "I like you too, Aaron. Yes, I'll be your girlfriend."
"Really?" His smile was so bright. When she nodded, Aaron leaned in and kissed her.
She was on cloud nine and she didn't plan on coming down. However, when they kissed, screams erupted behind them. They turned to see their friends smiling and cheering from where they had been watching a bit further back.
The new couple laughed and Aaron held Ari close to him as the group finally joined them again with drinks.
"Finally! I've been waiting since day one for this.' Nicole laughed and the night was the happiest Ari had ever been.
