Rhylee
"Hey guys!" Two girls walked into our campsite- one a blond and the other with light brown hair and a tiny nose stud. They both wore jeans, boots (work) and a simple t-shirt covered by a light jacket. Rocky stepped out of the shared tent, and almost tripped over. "Woah. Uh, hey Casey." He said. I almost laughed. The blond did laugh and wave at Rocky. "Hey Rocky." The brunette looked confused. Riker stepped out, and instantly face planted a tree. I cracked up laughing. "Hey. I'm Becca." The brunette sounded surprisingly Aussie. Riker finally peeled his face off the tree and shook Becca's hand. "Hey. I'm Riker."
Riker
"Hey. I'm Riker." I shook the drop dead gorgeous Becca's hand. She had an Australian accent, and I personally found it adorable. "Campfire! S'mores!" Ross cheered. I turned around. Ryland and Ross had managed to get a fire going. Becca brushed her fringe out of the way and we headed over. I sat on a log and Becca was polite enough to sit next to me. I smiled at her. As I did I peered around her to see Rocky. Casey was talking, and Rocky looked smitten. "Hey look at them." I said, nodding my head towards Rocky. Becca laughed, and turned back. "Is he normally like that?" "No. Usually he's a joker. Just last week he put blue hair dye in my shampoo bottle. It took me 3 days to wash out." I laughed at the memory. Becca laughed along with me. "So, tell me about you. The real Riker Lynch." She said. I took a deep breath. "Well, I was born and grew up in Littleton, Colorado until I was 16. Then we decided to move to California for me to pursue an acting career. Turns out Ross wanted it too, and got the role of Austin on Austin and Ally last year. Enter R5 in 2009- 3 years. Ell is the best friend and brother I could ask for- just don't tell Rocky, Ross or Ryland. In 2004, Rhylee Rydel Lynch was born. She was so cute, she had everyone wrapped around her tiny finger the second she got home. And yes, that includes me." I said. I got a grin on my face. "And what about you, Miss-I've-Got-An-Australian-Accent-But-I-Live-In-Mexico." I teased. Becca smiled. "Well, I was born in Surfers Paradise in Queensland Australia. There I stayed until I was 8. My dad got a new job oversees and we went with him- my mum and I. Stuff happened, and he lost the job. So mum and I went around, looking for work. I found a housecleaning job for a British family. Enter Casey over there. She was barely 10 when I started, but we were best friends already. I just happened to be the age where I could pitch in and get paid or leave it for someone else and forget about pay. I took the work. As I got older, the family didn't need me anymore, but I kept coming over and hanging with Casey. Last year, we decided to have a look around the country. So we did. 3 weeks on our own. No parentals. Just driving. Anyway, soon enough we came here, and I decided I wanted to live here. Casey liked the area for surfing, and stayed." Becca seemed far away as she spoke. I smiled. "Cool. I like it." I said. Rhylee came running over and pounced me. "Rikey!" She said. I blushed uncomfortably. Becca laughed. "Let me guess... You don't happen to be Rhylee do you?" She teased. Rhylee giggled. "Yeah! Who are you?" She asked. "Riles, this is Becca." I said. "Oh. Hi Becca! What's your favourite colour? Do you like my brother? You sound Australian. You have pretty hair." Rhylee rolled off a ton of things. Becca just laughed again and answered them. "Light blue. Maybe. Yes I'm from Australia. And thank you." My jaw dropped. How did she keep track of all that?! And did she say she might like me? "Hey Rhylee why don't you go annoy Ross. He looks lonely." I said. She ran off. "Wanna go for a walk?" I asked. Becca nodded. We got up and walked towards the bush. "So..." I said. "Why don't we stop talking, and just, walk." She said. I leaned out for her hand. She gave it. We passed a little stream, and I smiled. I had an idea for that song Rocky started. Becca shivered. "You cold?" I asked. She shook her head, but her shivers gave her away. "Here. Have my jacket." I took it off and gave it to her. She smiled. "Thanks. Are you gonna be okay without one?" "Yep. I'm used to cold temperatures." I shrugged. We huddled together and laughed. "Hey look! That's such a cool hut!" Becca ran forward to look. "Hey!" I ran after her. We looked around. "Wanna go in?" She asked. I grinned and pulled her in. We stood there quietly, until I realised we were in someone's house... Who had a guitar. "Hey Becca, wanna sit down a moment?" I asked. She took a seat.
Remember that trip we took in Mexico, yeah
Hanging with the boys and all your señoritas
I never spoke up yet never said hello
But I keep on tryin to find a way to meet ya
I was chillin you were with him hooked up by the fire
Now he's long gone I'm like so long
Now I got my chance now I now I got my chance
Like Damn,
You could be the one to mess me up
You could be the one who could break me
Damn
All them other girls had enough
You could be the one to take me
I was solo livin YOLO
Till you blew my mind
Like damn,
You could be the one to mess me up
I can't let you can't let you Pass Me By
"What do you think?" I asked. Becca pulled the guitar from my hands, and hugged me. "It was beautiful." She whispered in my ear. "BECCA! RIKER!" Someone yelled. "RIKER!" Rocky yelled. "RIKEY!" Rhylee yelled. "BECCA!" Casey yelled. "RIKER! BECCA!" Rydel yelled. I laughed. That's our cue." I got up and we ran out. Rhylee ran up to us. "Rikey where'd you go?! We thought you'd gotten lost or something. I was so scared." Rhylee wrapped herself around my legs. I picked her up and hugged her. "I'm okay, Bec's okay. We're fine." I soothed. Ross ran up. "ROCKY RHYLEE FOUND THEM!" He yelled. Everyone turned up. "What? Were we gone that long?" I asked. Ross nodded seriously. "Mum and dad were ready to call the ranger. But we said we'd go have a look." He said. I hung my head, and Becs blushed. "Oops. C'mon." I pulled her hand and Ross lead us back. Rhylee had somehow fallen asleep in my arms. I emerged from bushes and Rydel gasped. "Rik!" She ran over and hugged me. "Shhh! Rhylee's asleep." I whispered. "Mum. Come see this." Rydel motioned her over. Mum came to us, and saw Rhylee asleep on my shoulder. "Awe! Maybe she should stay with you Rik." She said. "I'm gonna hang with everyone for a little while." I said. "Just keep quiet. Your father used to have one of you on his shoulder asleep and we'd be talking, and as long as he whispered, you'd stay asleep." Mum smiled. "C'mon Case. We should go." Becca said. "Noooo." She replied. Rocky laughed and whispered in her ear. "Fine. See ya tomorrow Rock." She kissed his cheek, and even with Rocky's tanned face you could see he was blushing. The girls were gone. Rhylee shuffled in my arms- still asleep. "Guys I'm gonna hit the hay." I said. Rydel followed me in. I didn't really care about pyjamas tonight- I couldn't get changed anyways- so I slid into my sleeping bag and held Rhylee close. She was adorable. She still has all of us wrapped around her pinkie. But she doesn't need to be babied, she's independent. Rydel slid onto the stretcher bed next to me. "She's growing up." Rydel told me. I nodded. Rocky and Ryland came to bed next. "Where's Ross?" I asked. "Asleep on a log." Rocky shrugged. It was around two when I went to sleep, finally. Ross came in around 1:30. Everyone slept peacefully with no interruptions.
( 4 am... Ugh)
Rhylee
I opened an eye and squirmed. What is it with me waking up early?! Riker was sound asleep next to me. I poked his nose. Still asleep. I poked again. He opened an eye, sneezed, and fell asleep. I poked his cheek, and he finally woke up. "What Rhylee?" He asked. "I gotta pee." "Alright. C'mon." Riker and I crept out to the drop toilet. It was getting light, but it was still starry. I made my way towards the drop toilet and opened the door. Riker 'stood guard' outside (note: "stood guard"=slept standing up) I did what I had to and came out. Riker was standing up but asleep. I poked his shoulder and startled him. "Hey! Okay let's go back. I'm freezing." We ran back to our tent and crept back in. Riker slid into his sleeping bag and I slid in next to him. Ross rolled over in his sleep. "Mmf" He grumbled. I fell asleep again shortly after.
