The Only Reason.

Arabella giggled slightly when Michael nudged her, "It's fine. Same as it always is. Rainy. But I don't complain because when it's sunny it's beautiful over there." She said before she jumped slightly, "Oh! I met Prince Harry while I was over there! He's a real cool lad. We had a few beers together while I was in a bar." She said with a smile. It was probably the most eventful thing to happen to her since she met Mikey.

Luke set the guns down for Liv to fill up before he raised an eyebrow at her words, "I believe it will be you who will be getting drenched." He replied with a laugh before he filled up the guns himself, "Jesus Liv you take forever." he teased and stuck his tongue out at her.

"Prince Harry!?," laughed Michael, "I'm surprised he didn't sweep you off your feet and make you his princess!" Michael ran a hand through his hair before looking over at Arabella and smiling, "So what do you want to do today?, Like I am totally cool for just chilling but it is up to you since you haven't been back home in ages," babbled Michael. When talking to Arabella Michael sometimes trailed off, he got a little nervous around her, sometimes.

"You are all talk Hemmings!" laughed Liv as she dropped the last balloon gently into the bucket and turned to face Luke, "Your forever is like five minutes?!" protested Liv, "So when do we start, now?" Before Luke had a chance to answer Liv quickly threw a balloon at him drenching the poor boy (they would have to mop that up later). Liv didn't wait she stole one of the loaded guns from Luke and grabbed the bucket and hurried outside without a second glance.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Arabella laughed at his words, "I don't think I would fit into that life style. Plus I don't think I could've handled him being away a lot. Like at war and stuff. That's scary." she said with a slight laugh before she shrugged, "Why don't we forget the coffee we were gonna get and get some ice cream." She suggested.

---

Luke was about to respond before he felt himself being soaked by the balloon, "Oh that's it you're going down!" he laughed before he grabbed the other gun and other bucket of balloons before chasing her outside and setting his bucket down before he chased after her with the gun, squirting her with the water.

@ Daughter Of Anarchy
Michael listened carefully to Arabella, to be honest he could listen to her all day if he wanted to. A smile appeared on the guitarist lips when ice cream was mentioned, "I like how you think," laughed Michael as he stretched his arms a little, "I'll pay for it, my treat for your homecoming!"

"Luke!" shirked Liv as she felt water hit her, wearing a white top was not the best idea but it was too late to change now. Luke threw a balloon at Luke as she ran around the backyard, ducking and diving from the assault. "This is war Hemmings!" yelled Liv as she pumped her gun and began to shoot at the lanky singer.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
(I'm SO sorry! I totally thought I replied back on this one!)

Arabella smiled at Michael's words, "It's because clearly I'm a genius." She stated with a laugh and then she smiled up at him and hugged him tightly, "Thanks Mikey. I missed you." She said before she pulled away and walked next to him. Arabella felt comfortable around Michael, she always had. She knew she probably shouldn't since she only met him about two or three years ago and they only spent a week together but she felt like she had known him for longer.

---

Luke stopped slightly when he noticed her shirt and he was distracted for a moment before he felt Liv spray him with the gun. He laughed before he took off and grabbed one of his balloons and threw it at her. He laughed when he hit her and the balloon broke instantly. Luke took that as his moment to spray her with his water gun.

@ Daughter Of Anarchy
(No worries, I've just been finishing up my uni degree recently so I've been super busy)

Michael quickly draped his arm over Arabella shoulder bringing her closer to him. "So girl," said Mickey mocking a female voice, "What are British boys like, are they like super cute?" Michael did care for Arabella but he didn't want to trend on anyone's toes. Michael claimed he was not a jealous person but to be honest he was.

"Luke!" screamed Liv as she tried to cover her face, she was soaking through, "This is so far unfair!" Liv fumbled for her gun but it slipped out of her hands, so she made a grab for her balloons and began to throw them in any direction hoping she had managed to hit Luke.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
(I Swear I thought I replied to these)
Arabella laughed at his attempt at a female voice, "Honestly Mikey that was the worse female impression I've ever heard!" She giggled before she shrugged, "British boys are okay I guess. But I prefer my boys from right here with my roots." She said and looked up at him with a smile. She, of course, was talking about him but she didn't want to flat out say that.

---

Luke laughed when Liv fumbled with her gun before he felt a balloon hit him. He laughed and put a hand over his heart, "I've been hit! Man down! Man down!!" He yelled before he fell to the ground, faking dead. He laughed before he took his gun and started shooting at her.

@ Daughter Of Anarchy

Michael mocked his upset at Arabella saying his impression was bad. "You've hurt my feelings," laughed Michael, "But it's nice to know you prefer Aussie men over British boys." Michael stressed the word men and added a wink at the end of the sentence. "Now come on, lets go get some ice cream we can go to that place down by the big pound, you know the one with all the ducks."

Liv approached Luke with caution but as soon as she got close the boy jumped up and started shooting her. Liv got a face full of water and to add insult to injury she slipped on the wet grass and landed with a thud. "Mercy Luke! Mercy! I give in, I swear!" yelled Liv as she began to laugh, she was soaking wet through.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Arabella laughed at Michael's words before she nodded and followed him to the ice cream shop. She quickly ordered, "I would a vanilla and chocolate swirl please." she ordered before she pulled out her wallet to pay. She thought about the last time her and Michael went to the pond. It was just before she left. They had their last date there.

---

Luke laughed at Liv's reaction before his eyes widened when she slipped and fell, "Liv are you okay?" he asked as he rushed over to her. He didn't want her being hurt. He would feel bad. He put down his gun and helped her off the ground and constantly apologized as he did.

@ Daughter Of Anarchy
"I'll have cookies and cream please," ordered Michael, "I'll pay Arabella, I can afford it know being a big rockstar!" Michael got his wallet and made sure he could pay for the ice creams before Arabella. It had been a while since Michael had been to the pound, he been once since Arabella had gone but it wasn't the same without her there as cliche as that sounded. "One vanilla and chocolate swirl," smiled Michael as he handed Arabella her ice cream.

"Luke I'm fine!" laughed Liv as Luke helped her up off the ground, "I will probably be a bit sore later on but that's it." Liv let out another laugh as she ran a hand through her wet hair and glanced down at her soaked attire. "Shall we call it a truce before we hurt ourselves anymore?"

@ gilderoy-lockhart
(might be short. Phone is dying)

Arabella glared at Mikey when he paid for her ice cream before she was handed her cone, "Thank you Mikey." she said before leaning up and kissed his cheek before she walked outside with her cone and sat down to eat her ice cream. She looked over when Mikey joined her outside. She had missed him a lot since she had been gone.

---

Like laughed at her words before he missed, "A truce sounds good." He said before he put down his water fun and walked inside and grabbed a towel for him and Liv before handing her the towel, "So what else are you up to today?" he asked.

@ Daughter Of Anarchy
A small blush quickly appeared on Michael's cheeks, Michael was not one to blush often he was just caught off guard by the kiss on the cheek. Michael thanked the server once more and followed Arabella out the door hoping his cheeks would die down, he took the seat next the Arabella and began to eat his ice cream. There were a few moments of silence between the two as Michael tired to avoid getting ice cream around his face. "What are you plans while you are back? I think me and the guys are having a barbecue party thing at someone's house soon," said Michael, he was sure Ashton had mentioned something about having a barbecue before they went on tour again and it would be cool if Arabella could come.

Liv put the towel over her shoulders, she would have to get a shower at some point she was covered in mud from the ground being so wet. "I'm suppose to be meeting up with Charlie at some point," replied Liv, she loved Charlie but she hardly saw Luke as it was and would rather spend time with him. "I'll help you clear up before I go anywhere though," smiled Liv as she wrapped the tower around her.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Arabella smiled and shrugged, "Definitely catching up with my brothers and friends but other than that I have no idea what I'm doing." She said and then nodded, "A barbecue sounds amazing. I haven't been to one in years." She added. She ate her ice cream some more before looking up at Mikey again, "So what have you been up to?"

---

Luke frowned at the mention of Charlie before he pouted and pulled her in his arms, "No you can't leave. You're my prisoner now." He said and pouted down at her before letting her go, "No but seriously you should just stay here all day." He stated. He wasn't trying to make it so obvious that he didn't want her to go with Charlie and leave him but his mouth wouldn't shut up. He would just rather her be with him and not Charlie. That simple.

@Daughter Of Anarchy
Michael took another bite out of his ice cream before answering Arabella, "Just touring a lot and writing for the next album," explained Michael, "After this break we are heading back into the studio to start recording it which will be fun." Michael loved touring but he really enjoyed coming back home and just chilling for a few weeks.

Liv couldn't help feel a little cold as Luke let go of her and when he pouted Liv hated and saying no to him. "When we are back inside I'll text him and tell him I'm hanging out with you all day," smiled Liv as she gentle bumped Luke with her hip. "So since you begged me to stay, what shall we do?" teased Liv.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Arabella smiled as she listened to him talk, "That sounds fun. I have always wanted to go touring with a band. Just visiting all the different places and countries sounds absolutely wonderful." She said with a grin. She finished her ice cream and wiped her mouth with a napkin before she smiled again at Michael.

---

Luke grinned widely when she told him that she would stay with him, "Great!!" He cheered before he shrugged, "How about video games and then movie watching and cuddling?" He suggested with a smile.

@ Daughter Of Anarchy
"You should come join us for a few weeks!" beamed Michael, "Our family comes out on the odd occasion and last tour Liv came out a joined us for two weeks." Michael would love nothing more than spending more time with Arabella and tour was a great way to do that. There was always fun to be had when you were on the road nearly ever single day. Michael watched Arabella carefully wipe away the ice cream from her mouth, Michael couldn't help but the image his own face, he probably looked like a right mess. "Just a quick question, I have I got ice cream all over my face?" he asked.

"Sounds great!" smiled Liv as she picked up her bucket and water gun off the floor. "You haven't got some clothes I can borrow, these where the only things I brought with me," explained Liv as she gestured to her soaking clothes.
