Julie and the Phantoms One Shots

Black and White

Ok so this was not the planned next chapter but I was stuck on the original one so here is this one instead.

As always:

Crying Potential: Moderately low with a chance of happy tears (not sad)

Luke paced back and forth in the studio. Tonight was the night. 

"Chill, you're doing the Alex runway thing dude." Reggie placed his hands on each of Luke's shoulders stilling him.

"But what if something goes wrong? What if she says no? What if the food is tainted and we die!?"

"Luke, calm down, if it makes you feel better propose before dinner."

"No, the plan is to propose after dinner, when we are sitting in the living room. Not before dinner."

"Breath with me Luke, you are freaking out, and of course she is going to say yes! Don't worry about that."

"What if I mess up on the song?"

"Luke, calm down. Normally I would go get Julie, but that won't work this time so instead you are getting a hug." Reggie informed Luke before wrapping his arms around one of his best friends.

"You're right," Luke breathed out as Alex flashed into the studio.

"Everything is ready to go after dinner. Your guitar is sitting in the living room, our backing recording is ready to play, and Ray is excited. Dinner is almost done, and Flynn is about to bring Julie here after keeping her busy for the past few hours." Alex reported.

"But-"

"Yes I made sure the track plays."

"and-"

"Yes there is room in the living room for us to flash our instruments in if the recording messes up."

"What about-"

"Luke, everything is covered. As long as you have the ring we are all good."

"Right here." Luke said pulling the ring out of his pocket to show it to his best friends.

"She's going to love it."

"I hope so."

After a dozen more reassurances they made their way into the house to find Ray nearly done with dinner, cheese ravioli with marinara and bread with an oil dip, he was merely putting the bread and oil dip on the plates to put on the table.

"You ready Luke?" Ray asked with a smile.

"As I'll ever be."

"Do you wanna go over the plan one more time to make yourself feel better?" Reggie asked, Luke nodded wanting this to go absolutely perfect.

"So, Julie will get here with Flynn and we will have dinner, once we finish dinner Alex and I will take the plates and offer to do the dishes. Ray will follow saying he will help put up the leftovers. Flynn will get suggest getting a movie ready and you and Julie will go with her to 'pick a movie'. I've already hidden the remotes so Flynn will start 'looking' for the remote and go by the stereo and press play on the back track then sneakily leave. When she presses play there is an entire minute of empty track so you can do whatever lead in you want and grab your guitar. Meanwhile Ray will be starting the recording with Alex and I on standby for if there is an issue with the track, which there won't be, then you do your thing! She says yes! Ta Da!" Reggie explained.

"Yep, sounds like a plan." Luke breathed out, his fist patting out a beat on his leg as he tried to focus.

"Luke, can I talk to you for a minute?" Ray asked before adding, "Privately?"
