nini salazar-roberts, fed up with her moms' disapproval of her always being single during the holidays, turns to the first person she can think of for help, ricky bowen. someone she hasn't been in contact with for years, and frankly, hasn't wanted to contact in years. {loosely based on netflix original holidate}

**ON HOLD FOR NOW** (i need to write more chapters before releasing more) ricky can't believe that he has to spend a whole summer working as a newspaper boy. but it all works out in the end when he meets a girl living with the old woman on sixth street.

in which Ricky Bowen and Nini Salazar-Roberts don't like each other. no, really, they have no feelings whatsoever towards each other. but that's not what the public thinks. (or in which ricky and nini are starring in the same tv show and their management thinks a publicity stunt is just what this show needs)
