Noah and Paige
Noah looked at his clock as he dialled Paige's number.
"Myello?"
"Paige? It's Noah."
"Hey, Noah, good show last night! How can I help ya?"
"I have a huge favour to ask... you remember AJ?"
"Aww, yeah," Paige said.
"Well... we were hoping... would you be able to orb me to Perth, the city train station, then orb us back here?" Noah crossed his fingers.
"Yeah, sure. I never stand in the way of love." Paige giggled. "When do you wanna go, now?"
"Now. Thanks."
"No problem."
They hung up and seconds later, Paige had materialised in his room. She smiled and took his hand, orbing them into a toilet cubicle at the train station in Perth. She giggled.
"This is gonna look suss when we come out," Paige whispered.
"Good point."
Noah and Paige laughed a bit, then walked out of the toilet, trying not to draw too much attention to themselves.
AJ
"Why are we coming here again?" David asked as he leant against a rail, his arm swaying with the movement of the train.
"Again? I didn't tell you. And you can figure it out when you see it."
"That kinda makes me worried," Tasha grinned.
"Shut it. I won't be coming back with you."
"Yeah sure."
The train began to pull into the station. AJ immediately began looking around for both Noah and Paige.
"Who are you looking for?" Ross asked curiously.
"Someone."
She realized she probably wouldn't recognize Paige - only having seen her completely dressed up before. Noah on the other hand...
They finally stepped off the train, and AJ began over to the escalators.
"Slow down!" Tasha called, as they began after her.
She made it and began to climb up them to the second floor. When she got to the top, she looked out over the station, trying to spot them.
Noah and Paige
"Train is pulling in," Paige said, stating the obvious.
"You're a clever clogs, you know that right?"
"And yet I kicked your ass in Advanced Chem, did I not?"
"Dream on, Paige."
"Plus, I wasn't meant to be in that class and I was moved up! Take that!"
"Yeah but you can't play an instrument or sing to save your life."
"And neither can you!" Paige shot back jokingly.
Noah shook his head and laughed, looking around for AJ.
AJ
"Who are you looking for?!" David exclaimed, being the first to catch up to her, "if we knew, maybe we could help?"
"You don't know him."
"Him?"
Tasha and Ross caught up, panting a little. AJ squinted, looking up and down the tracks.
Then she saw them, standing by the tunnel.
"OH my GOD!"
She bolted for the escalator again, yelling Noah's name the whole time.
NOah and Paige
"I think AJ has seen us," Paige said dryly.
Noah watched as AJ came into view and ran over. He enveloped her in a hug, picking her up and spinning her around, showering her face and hair with kisses.
AJ
"OH my..."
She made him put her down, then grabbed the back of his neck making him kiss her passionately.
David, Tasha and Ross were a while behind again...
"I miss..." kiss "missed you so" kiss "so, so damn much."
NOah
Noah grinned as he kissed her again and hugged her tightly.
"I missed you too, babe," he whispered into her ear.
AJ
"Go AJayyyyyyyyyy," Tasha teased as she and David laughed.
Ross just stood there looking awkward.
AJ grinned and pulled away, biting her lip.
"Noah, this is... and Paige, sorry. Hi," she waved at her.
"This is Tasha, my best friend. And David, and Ross, my ah, ex. Guys, this is my boyfriend, Noah."
"Boyfriend?" Tasha raised her eyebrows, "since when did you..."
Noah and Paige
Paige waved casually. "Hey."
Noah saluted. "Hi all." He wrapped his arms around AJ's waist.
AJ
"Nice accent," David raised his eyebrows.
"What is it?" Tasha asked.
"American," AJ replied, "and this is my ride home. I'm sorry guys, but... please don't tell my parents."
"We don't talk to them," Tasha shrugged.
"Oh, you will after this. They'll call you."
"They don't know you're going?" Ross looked worried.
"This is the point. They don't..." AJ shook her head, "they just wanna keep us apart. And we're not going to let them. So I'm going home with him."
Noah and Paige
Noah nodded at her friends. "Nice to meet you."
He turned to AJ. "You don't need anything?" he asked quietly.
Paige waved and pointed to the toilets again. "We can go in there."
AJ
"Most of my stuff got left at your place anyway," Aj traced a finger down the side of his face and neck.
"That sounded really... wrong," Ross screwed his face up at Paige.
"Getting dirty, eh?" Tasha grinned, then looked to AJ, "see you later then?"
AJ hesitated.
"Yeah, maybe. I'll call you."
Tasha nodded, and they shook hands.
"Nice to meet you, Noah. Guess I'll be seeing you around."
"Yeah," David agreed, "come on, our train's leaving."
"Bye!" Tasha called, as the three rushed for the train.
AJ turned back to Noah and kissed him again.
"I'm ready."
Noah
Noah took AJ's hand and Paige led them into the toilets. She took Noah's free hand and orbed them into Noah's house, then orbed back to her house with a final call of "Welcome home, AJ."
Noah kissed AJ again. "I talked to Adam, he said it was cool if you stayed at his house. His parentals are fairly relaxed."
AJ
"Oh, Lys! I wanna see Lys again!" AJ bounced, refusing to yawn.
"But first..."
She grabbed Noah by the collar of his shirt and kissed him again, before pushing him down onto the couch.
"You have a lot of time to make up for you know," she grinned, leaning in to kiss him again.
NOah
Noah grinned and kissed her back for a bit, then pulled away after they were both breathless.
"Well, Dad's actually out of town until the day after tomorrow. So you could probably stay here for a bit."
He kissed her again.
"And Lys is very sad she didn't get a goodbye. Not as sad as I was though."
Noah ran his hands through her hair and kissed her nose.
AJ
And in turn, nto as sad as me. I bet," Aj grinned, kissing him on the nose in return.
"I missed you something bad. I couldn't go a whole band practice without remembering the drum set you gave me."
She turned onto her back so she was laying across him.
"When I saw your number in dad's book it was like a God-send. Kinda proof it wasn't all a dream."
Noah
Noah nodded.
"I know how that feels. Every rehearsal... everytime we partied at Adam's... all reminders."
He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck.
"The first party we had while you were gone, I just sat outside by myself and drank kero."
AJ
"You got drunk without me?" AJ teased, twisting slightly to look up at him.
She tapped him on the nose.
"Hope you didn't dirty any walls while you were at it."
Noah
"Can't get the walls dirty without you, you troublemaker," Noah mock scolded, kissing her again, tightening his grip around her waist.
"So how was Australia?"
AJ
"I can't believe how much I hated it while I was there," AJ frowned a little.
"I mean, it was good to be home, but... yeah. And I wasn't exactly being nice to people either."
Noah
"Yeah, I wasn't exactly Mr Fun either."
Noah frowned a little.
"So what did you wanna do today?"
AJ
"What did I wanna do? I didn't even know this would happen until... yeah."
She ran her fingers through his hair.
"I don't care what I do, as long as it's with you."
NOah
"Not the hair," Noah joked.
He leaned over and kissed her again.
"We could go visiting people?"
AJ
"Yeah I guess."
Then she hesitated.
"It's summer here. Freaky," she shook her head, "one minute you're freezing your ass off, the next burning it."
Noah
"Well, you have stuff here anyway, so it's not like you're not prepared."
Noah kissed her nose.
"Just a drastic change, I guess."
He sighed.
"What are your parents going to do when they find you gone?"
AJ
"Make the rounds," AJ grinned, "call up everyone they know. That'll probably include your dad."
She kissed him.
"It's gonna be fun hiding it from him."
Noah
Noah chuckled.
"Well, what he doesn't know won't hurt him."
He kissed her again and disentangled their limbs.
"Wanna go visit Adam and Lys? I think Pete and Chris will be there later... we have a practice," he explained.
AJ
AJ chuckled as she stood up.
"It'll be good to see them again. I wanna see my drums again... not to mention my teacher," she grinned.
