Characters: Ginger McAvery and Sam Ruiz
Setting: Backdated to last Wed, LA- California.
Rating: SFW, most likely- language warnings.
Content: Sam and Ginger have plans to spend Wednesdays out at the Beach. But before they get to the beach, they have to survive Ginger's feuding parents.

Shopping with Avery had been a blast, and her room was covered with new bags that were waiting for just the right spot to live in her drawers, or to be packed up to take back to school. It was like Christmas, but without all the silly waiting for that one special day! But better yet? Sammy was going to be over at any moment, which almost dimmed the amazing night spent watching movies with her best friend. Excitedly she’d dressed in her new bikini, and finding the perfect tank top and skirt to go with it, before racing down stairs to the kitchen.

“Hey, Daddy!” She squeaked, beaming brightly as she skidded around the island and wrapped her arms about him in a tight hug¸ though it went unreturned. “Sammy is coming over and we’re going to go to the beach, so like…we totally won’t be around much, kay?”

Alexander McAvery barely looked up from his coffee as he nodded, “whatever you say, Princess.” Turning the page, he folded his paper over then, and lifted the cup of steaming brew to his lips as if he’d not heard a word she’d said.

“He’s really nice,” she went on, pushing herself up on her toes as she bit her lip, hoping in vain that he’d at least glance her way for a moment. “And I think I really like him, and like…do you-“ she blinked though, as her mother suddenly walked into the kitchen and slammed her coffee mug down on the counter.

“Would it kill you to not fuck everything that walks through the doors of this house?” She demanded of Alexander before looking up at Ginger and frowning, “what are you wearing? You aren’t planning to leave the house like that, are you?”

Ginger looked down at her shirt with a frown, smoothing her hands over her stomach before chewing on her bottom lip. Was there something wrong with what she was wearing? She’d thought she looked nice, at least before her mother opened her mouth. Not that she had time to say as much. Her father was already speaking by the time she’d opened her mouth.

“No, I don’t ‘fuck’ the dog,” he replied a bit blandly, “or you. Which, trust me, the dog would be an improvement over you.” He stood then, dumping his coffee in the sink before letting the cup drop in with a heavy clunk. Ginger watched as he moved over to her, though, and rested his hands on her shoulders. “Your daughter looks fine, Teagan, just like you…a little tramp with no breast.” Patting her shoulders, then, Alexander moved out of the kitchen with his wife hot on his heels.

Ginger could still hear them arguing in the living room, but she didn’t follow. Instead she looked at her reflection in the window, hands coming up to cup her chest. If she’d had enough sense about her, though, she would have remembered that Sam was going to be using the floo at any moment to arrive.

After receiving a firm talk from his mother and then another from his father Sam was finally allowed to leave the house and meet up with Ginger as they had planned. He tossed his shirt on over his beach shorts and grabbed his guitar before hopping into the fireplace. "Have fun," Anna said to her son. "And call if anything changes right?" she reminded him.

"I will mom," he said taking a handful of floo powder.

"I love you Melchor," she said sweetly.

Sam laughed. "Love you too mom, don't get all mushy, I'm just going to see my girlfriend."

"There you go, saying that word again," she teased. "Have fun, tell Ginger I said hello."

"I will," he tossed his handful of floo powder and the spinning began, dumping him off in the McAvery living room, apparently the lion's den. He stepped out to see Ginger's parents fighting, unsure what to do, he stood there dumbfounded. "Uh... hi," he said stupidly. "Is Ginge home?"

Both of Ginger's parents stopped and turned to look at Sam the moment he spoke, staring at him. Teagan started to speak, but Alexander held up his hand and pointed at Sam.

"Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?" He asked, before turning back to look toward the kitchen. "Ginger! Ginger get in here." Jumping a little, Ginger moved into the living room from the kitchen, staring at her dad wide-eyed and innocent before smiling brightly at Sam. "Ginger, who is this?"

"Sam!" She grinned, before bouncing around the couch to wrap her arms about Sam' neck. "I told you about Sammy, Daddy! Weren---" No, actually, he probably wasn't. Ginger sighed a little before giving Sam an apologetic look.

"Ginger!" Teagan almost sounded offended by the idea of Sam, as she looked the boy up and down. "Can I speak with you a moment?"

Sam was like a deer caught in the headlights, staring back at the intimidating man who had just been fighting with his wife. "Um... I'm Sam," was all he had time to say before Ginger's dad was shouting for her to join them.

"Hey Ginge," he smiled warmly, wrapping an arm around her waist. He was relieved to see her and to know that he hadn't just barged into some stranger's house.

His eyes went to Ginger's mom the moment she spoke again and he nervously but the inside of his cheek. This was not going well, was it? "Is everything okay?" he asked Ginger, feeling entirely out of his element.

"You're Sam?" Alexander looked at the boy and his daughter with a bit of a skeptical expression. Until he turned to his wife, "she gets this behavior from you!"

"Oh, like this is all my fault," Teagan countered, forgetting, for now, that she wanted to speak with Ginger moments ago.

Turning to Sam, Ginger shrugged a little, before taking his hand and leading him out of the room and up the stairs to her bedroom. "Sorry about that," she said a bit of a sigh, "they aren't normally that bad. Did you want anything to drink or something before we left?"

Sam nodded dumbly at the question. Yeah, I'm Sam, that was one of the few things he was sure of.

Sam followed after her. "It's okay," he said pressing a kiss to her forehead once they were in the clear. He took a step back and shrugged. "I guess they were expecting someone more like Zac Efron," he said with a wry smile.

"Maybe we should get some water bottles or something," he suggested, pulling her into a bear hug and squeezing her tight.

"...Zac Efron is totally not as hot as you, though." Ginger assured him, stepping out of the hug a little reluctantly. "They just..." Her eye caught her reflection in the mirror, and again she turned side long to look at her bust line. "They just...do that. It is something for them to fight about."

She sighed, resting her hands on her hips before turning to look at Sam. "Besides, like he'd sooo not be their type, you know? He's like...some geeky wanna-be rock star, and you are like...totally a rock star, and there for way cooler."

Moving to pick up her bag and towel, she bounced a little. "Phillip is letting us use his car to get down to the beach, so I hope you don't mind driving, cos like I don't have my license yet. I can grab us some water from the kitchen on the way out to the garage, though."

He caught her looking in the mirror when she pulled away. Pouting a little he reached for her hand and pressed a kiss to it. "You look gorgeous," he said, beaming at her.

Sam laughed and ruffled his own hair. "Yeah, that kids a total poser."

"Oh cool! What kind of car does he drive?" he asked getting excited. He loved driving, it was probably one of his favorite things to do.

She smiled at him, dancing back happily. He was really the best, wasn't he? If only everyone else knew what she knew about what a fantastic guy he was. "Thanks," she said, honestly. "You look fantastic too."

Planting a kiss on his cheek, she grinned. "Come on, Rock Star, here are the key." She handed over Phillip's keys, before making one final spin around her room. "Okay! Lets go!"

"I don't remember what kinda car it is, though," she added belatedly as she opened the door. "Some Owie or like...something. I think it is Japanese."

Sam smiled happily as she danced her way back. "I call 'em how I see 'em," he said brightly. He laughed a bit as she handed over the keys. "As the lady wishes," he pranced out the door behind her a little chuckle escaped at her guess at the car.

"Is it an Audi babe?" he asked as they walked toward the kitchen together.

"Oh yeah! That's it. It is like the Olympics! It has these circles on it and stuff." She led the way down the the stairs and snuck them past the still arguing couple without much incident. Skipping into the kitchen, and almost ran smack into Lexie as he was turning the corner.

"Hey, watch it, Rainbow-Brite." He said, looking up at Sam with a curious expression. "Sup, Sam."

"Lexie! Hi!" Ginger greeted her brother with a bright smile, before slipping around him for some bottles of water. "We're going to the beach if you wanna go?"

"...you going to spend all day there?" Lexie asked, eyeing the direction of screaming voices. "Beats this place."

Sam laughed as she explained what the car was like. "Yeah, I think that's called an Audi," he smooshed a kiss to her cheek as they walked downstairs. He was quiet though as they snuck past her parents.

"Hey Lexie," Sam greeted him with a somewhat shy grin as if he had been caught doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing. Dating a bud's sister was always a little awkward at first. "Just hanging out."

He looked back toward the living room and shook his head. "We'll stay out until we can't stand it anymore," he smirked.

Lexie moved back into the kitchen, leaning on his forearms as he sighed. "How are you even getting there?" It was probably a dumb question, as Ginger always had a plan for this sort of thing, but he figured he needed to ask anyway.

"Phillip is letting Sam take the car! You know, since he's gone off to where ever with his girlfriend thing." Laine was not her favorite person, if only because Ginger knew a gold digger when she saw one. "You know you wanna go, it beats getting stoned here all by yourself."

Lexie snorted, before looking at Sam for a moment. "Wouldn't want to interrupt your 'alone' time."

"Ug I'm like soooo not begging you, okay." She held up hands up, a bottle in each. "Be a looooser if you wanna be. Me and Sam are like, totally going to go have an awesome time though."

"Yeah, I woulda brought my bike if I lived closer," he said brightly, he knew Lexie had an amazing bike, he had seen it around campus and would have loved to go riding with him at some point.

Sam felt his face growing warmer at Lexi's alone time comment. "It's cool bro, you can come along if you want," he ran a hand through his hair, a nervous habit of his.

"We are going to have an awesome time, maybe a little jam session," he said holding out his acoustic with a smirk.

"Maybe later, I've got some shit to do." Lexie said with a shrug. Pushing off the island, he moved to leave the kitchen, offering up a high-five to Sam. "Have to get in a work out."

"Whatever, looooser." Ginger said with a grin, "text me later!" But Lexie only waved a little before muttering something as he disappeared. Not worried about it, Ginger turned back at Sam with a grin.

"Come on, the beach is calling our naaames." She dropped the bottles in her bag before skipping around to Sam and taking his hand to lead him out of the garage. "The beach out here is waaay more awesome than the east coast, you know. The water is like, warm and stuff."

"See you around," Sam said as Lexie left the kitchen. "He's a cool guy," he commented to Ginger as she skipped around.

He nodded and followed happily along into the garage. "I've never been to a west coast beach before," he stopped in the garage and stared in awe at the cars lined up there. "Holy shii..."

He walked around to the Audi parked in the garage. "Your brother sure he trusts me with these wheels?" he asked admiring it from the outside.

"Lexie's a doofus," she protested cheerfully, "his like, only goal in life is to like piss daddy off." Which was fairly true, given that it was Lexie's senior year, and he'd somehow managed to not make a passing grade in half his classes.

"Yeah, totally. Like, way more than me. Plus, no way I could ask mom, and Daddy doesn't let anyone else drive his car. And then Lexie only has his bike." She shrugged, "I'm gonna get a car this summer though! Lexie and Phillip said they'd help me pick it out!"

She opened the passenger door to the car, though, before slipping into the stylish interior. "Besides," she went on, "if you do anything to it, he just gets to make daddy pay to repair it. He says it is a win, win."

He laughed. "Hey gotta do what you gotta do right?" he shrugged. "But hey, that's a whole other year of hanging out with him," he beamed.

"You are?" he asked brightly. "If you want any more help I could go with you," he suggested. "Not that having three guys help you pick out a car seems like a lot of fun," he laughed.

Sam slipped into the driver's seat and started the car. He took a minute to get used to the feel of the car and belted himself in. "Well that's kind of a relief," he joked pulling the car out of it's spot. "Which way to the beach?" he asked before pulling out of the garage.

"Yeah, well," she laughed, "you say that now. But you never know, he might like ruin senior year!"

But then he was offering to go car shopping with her, and all she could was bounce in her seat and clap a little excitedly. "No! That would be like soooo awesome. Cos like, Lexie just goes on about stupid things I don't understand, and like....uh...even know, cos it is all so weird. And then like, Phillip just wants to buy another car for himself. Which is like, totally not cool, cos like he really likes some ugly cars."

Reaching over to the console, though, she hit the navigation buttons. Selecting the beach they were going to, a map sprang up, and a voice began to list off the directions for Sam. "There you go!"

samtheman From: [info]samtheman Date: May 3rd, 2011 03:45 pm (UTC) (Link)
"That's true," he grinned. "Unpredictable."

"Damn, this is a pretty cool car," he marveled at the navigation system. "A little too pretty for me though," he smirked, following the directions on the screen as he drove the car away from the house. He had to admit, the further away they got, the better he felt.

He looked over at her, taking his eyes off the road for just a second with a big grin. "Then we'll call it a date. I would love to help you pick out a car." He could see how brother's wouldn't be entirely helpful especially if they didn't speak in plain English.

"Too pretty for you? What sort of car do you want?" She asked, leaning over the console a touch. "Mean, if you could have any car you wanted, what would you pick?"

As for her date? Ginger just beamed brightly, bouncing a bit in place. "Awesome, it'll be the best shopping ever. Well, except for when Avery and I go shoe shopping. Nothing screams my name like the spring line for Jimmy Choo."

He grinned. "Yeah, I'm more of a truck guy or a bike guy," he shrugged. "This car's not so bad," he grinned, probably the nicest care I'll ever drive. "But if I could have any car... maybe a Camaro, the 2011 model is hot."

"Yeah, we'll definitely have a good time." He couldn't help but laugh. "Jimmy Choo says spring huh?" he asked. "And who is that?"

mylollipop From: [info]mylollipop Date: May 3rd, 2011 09:13 pm (UTC) (Link)
"Oh? That's like totally musclely and stuff. Totally a guy car. I want something that says Hotty, you know? Something like me!" She laughed, running her hand up and down Sam's arm.

"Stop the car, you don't know who Jimmy Choo is?" She lifted a hand to her chest and took a dramatic breath. "You poor, deprived person! Jimmy Choo is only like, one of the hottest shoe designers ever. Everyone who is anyone has a pair, and he is my personal fav. Like, I'd marry his shoes, I think."

samtheman From: [info]samtheman Date: May 3rd, 2011 09:45 pm (UTC) (Link)
"Oh yeah," he grinned with a nod. "I need a tough guy car. I can definitely see you in a little hotty car, maybe something sporty and cute. I'll make sure it's safe too," he smiled warmly.

He laughed then. "Sorry darlin, I don't know the first thing about shoes. I just stick to kicks for the most part," he grinned. "Though I might be gettin' a little jealous of these shoes," he teased, reaching over with one hand to hold her hand.

mylollipop From: [info]mylollipop Date: May 3rd, 2011 10:32 pm (UTC) (Link)
"Lets see, what is a 'hotty' car?" She really didn't know. Her car knowledge was limited to watching shows with Lexie and going- Pretty! Which wasn't all that helpful, as she never remembered what anything was called. Still, it was sibling bonding, she supposed.

"You should be jealous of my shoes, they get to go with me like...everywhere." She nodded, squeezing his hand for effect. "But I don't know, you're pretty hard competition for them."

"Maybe like... a Mitsubishi eclipse, I've seen one on campus, totally hot car. Or maybe an Audi roadster, it's got a convertible top," he winked. "I think they're both sleek, real nice looking."

He laughed again and squeezed her hand back a little. "I hope so, I know I'm not as cute as your shoes," he teased, rubbing his thumb over her hand. "Maybe I should start wearing Jimmy Choos," he joked.

mylollipop From: [info]mylollipop Date: May 4th, 2011 04:58 pm (UTC) (Link)
"Ooh, those all sound totally hot." Except she didn't know what a single one of them looked like. Tilting her head to the side, she mused aloud, "do any of them come in pink?"

"You want to wear Jimmy? Now, now...are you trying to be all fashion forward?" She grinned, delightedly, "because I think it is sexy when I guy talks designer digs."

"They totally are," he grinned. "You know... if they don't come in pick, I'll paint it for you myself," she said bringing her hand to his lips and pressing a kiss to the back of it.

He couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, I don't know if I'll look fierce or anything but I'll give it a go for you," he winked. Now he was just being silly.

"OMG, you'd totally do that?" She squealed, leaning over the center console to give him a kiss on the cheek. "You're the best boyfriend ever."

Even better? He wanted Jimmy Choos, which was like the most amazing thing ever, too. She was already trying to imagine which of the men's line best suited a rock star.

"I totally would," he grinned at her, flushing slightly at what she said. Best boyfriend ever, he couldn't help but beam at her.

The navigator told him to take a left turn and he pulled into the parking lot of the beach. "Avast!" he joked. "Here we are my lady!"
