Playing With Fire

Part 2

Author's Note: Sooner than I expected, hopefully all of this story will come out this easy. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

"You have the coolest parents in the world," she said after they'd finished talking to them.

"Yeah, they are kind of awesome."

"You do this with them a lot?"

"At least once or twice a week. You know I'm close with them, and there were, um, extinuating circumstances that might have strained things a little for a while there. I wanted to rebuild that relationship with them, and kind of stumbled on this solution. It's worked so well that it's become part of our routine."

"Why didn't you just tell me this was what you had planned when I asked if you wanted to celebrate? You know I wouldn't have minded."

"I know, just a force of habit. I forgot for a second that you actually like them and I don't have to avoid the subject."

"Of course I like your parents, who wouldn't?"

"You'd be surprised," he said the look on his face telling her all she needed to know. The last few hours had been a real eye opener into everything she'd missed with him over the last year. He looked miserable even though he was trying to hide it. She wouldn't be a good friend if she didn't want to help him so she said,

"Come on."

"What?"

"I've got an idea. Let's go drag everyone out of bed."

"They'll hate us."

"Not by the end of the night, let's bring a little bit more of the old times back."

"You're not thinking what I think you're thinking are you?"

"You know I am. It's been too long. We all need it."

"You're taking the blame for this one."

"Sure, but I'm gonna take all the credit too," she said winking at him as she grabbed her phone and started a group text to see who she could convince to leave their cushy hotel rooms for some old school fun. "I've got the girls, you start seeing who else we can get."

"Not waking Kevin up, not worth it."

"Start with Seth, and yeah probably not a good idea, not without Sami to get him out of grumpy bear mode."

...

"What the hell are the two of you up to now," Seth said as he met up with them outside their hotel. He was the first to show and Finn and her just looked at each other sharing a secret smile. Seth had never had a chance to join them back in the day, but before they could say anything else, Elias approached them,

"You guys can't be serious. This isn't Full Sail, there's no way this will work."

"Ah, you know better Elias, if Bayley says we can do it, you know we're gonna pull it off somehow," Finn said grinning at her remindering her again of how he'd always felt like her partner in crime. God, she'd missed this so much. Several others were walking up, and the confusion on Seth's face was amusing as he was joined by several of the guys.

"Mikaze was whining about having to come out, I told him there was no way I was missing it and he could join us if he wanted to. He was pouting in the elevator when I left him, but I gaurantee he'll be here in less than ten," Sasha said as she sat down next to Bayley on the bench, squishing her up against Finn on the other side of her.

"Would somebody please explain what's going on?" Seth said starting to whine a little himself.

Bayley grinned, but ignored him, turning to Sasha,
