(Rydel's POV)

"I know that we haven't really had time to talk so I wanted to know if you wanted to go get coffee after work and talk?"

I froze. Ellington Lee Ratliff just asked me to get coffee..

"Um..sure, just let me call Rose and tell her I can't take Riley for the day." I explain walking out the door.

"Watch the kids!" I shout walking out the door.

(Rydel=BOLD & Rose=italics)

"Hello?"

"Hey, so problem. I just got asked to get coffee with Ell, so I need you to babysit tonight."

"Calm down. First, you got asked out by Ratliff?! Second, I can't take care of Riley today."

"Yeah, he just asked me, and why not?"

"Because I have a date."

"With who?!"

I hear a bunch of kids laughing and Ross yelling for help.

"I gotta go, tell you later!"

She hangs up before I can get another word in, so I decide to go back into the music room and ask Ross later.

"So can she take care of Riley today?"

"No, she's going on a date." I shrug.

"With who?"

"I don't know.."

"Well, we can go another time if you want," he suggests.

"No, it's okay, I'm gonna talk to Ross later today and ask him if he can take care of Riley," I explain, and Ell just nods.

*One Class Later*

I leave Ratliff in charge again as I try to talk to Ross quickly.

(Rydel=BOLD & Ross=italics)

"Hey, Rydel."

"Hey, Ross, I need a huge favor."

"And that is?"

"Can you PLEASE take care of Riley today? I'm going out with Ellington later."

"I can't, I'm going on a date tonight with a very pretty girl."

"Ugh okay well thanks anyways and have fun."

"Alright, you too."

You could hear the happiness in his voice, it was so cute!

'Last options..' I think to myself as I look up Riker's numbers and call.

"What?"

"Can you and Rocky do me a favor?"

"Sure, anything for my sis."

"I need you to take care of Riley for me."

"Okay, why can't you take care of her though?"

"I'm doing something later and I can't take her."

"We can do that then, I guess."

"Thank you!"

I quickly get back to class, my smile as wide big as the moon.

"I'm guessing Ross said yes then?"

"No"

"So then what's got you so happy?" He asked, confused.

"Riker and Rocky are taking care of them."

"Perfect." He smiles at me which I return.

(Riker's POV)

It's the end of the day and I'm heading out to meet everyone else at the music room.

I hear noise coming from the classroom so I hide.

I can see Rydel and Ratliff laughing and clapping to the music while Riley dances to it.

I take a little picture and mass text it to my other brothers.

A few minutes later Rocky, Ross, and Rose show up.

"Hey guys-"

"Sh! They will notice!" Rocky interupts me, happily glancing at Rydel and Ratliff.

"ignore him, he has fangirl moments." Ross explains to Rose.

"I can seen that she siffles a giggle.

"We should probably go in soon or they'll get suspicious." I whisper to Ross.

he nods his head in agreement and Ross pulls Rocky by his shirt.

"Hey guys!" rydel cheerfully greets us.

"Hi, you three seem pretty comfortable."

"Well we were waiting for you guys to show up." She tails off.

"Anywho, You two good with staying with her until I get back?" SHe asks.

"Totally." Rocky answers for both of us.

"Oh, these two are caring for Riley?" Rose questions.

"Yeah. Is it okay if we hang out with your daughter?" I ask.

"Oh, yeah its totally fine. I just didn't know who was going to take care of her." She explains.

"Rose, I think we should get going." Ross reminds Rose.

"Where are you guys going?" I ask while Rocky fails at his attempts at trying to hide his smirk.

"We're going out for the day." Ross answers me back.

"So thats who you were going on a date with?" Rydel speaks up.

"Yeah." Rose smiles.

"We've gotta go. I'm taking this beautiful girl out." He takes her hand in his and Rose blushes.

"Speaking of that, I think we should be heading out too." Ratliff turns to Rydel.

"Wait where are you two going?" I ask, confused.

(Rydel's POV)

"We are going to get coffee and talk." I look at the ground.

"I asked her to because we havent had time to talk." Ratliff explains quickly.

"Well then...have fun." Riker smiles at us.

I thought he was going to take that differently.

"Just be careful though." He says more seriously.

"No worries Riker, we will." I laugh and thank him and I kiss Riley goodbye before we leave.

A/N: Sorry for this being a filler chapter but I needed someway to get through to what happens now.

Okay so the next three chapters are going to be for the same day. Y'know what I mean?

Like let's say (it's not in any particular order) next chapter is Rydel and ellington's date. Then the next chapter is Rose and Ross' date. Then the final chapter would be Riker and Rocky hanging with Riley. It's all gonna be within the same time period.

You get what I'm saying?

Okay?

Okay.

Well then good morning/good afternoon/ good evening/ goodnight for whatever time zone you are in.

Until next chapter..
