    February 2003 - Guy - ‘So, what’s going on in there, then?’ Matt asked as he and Luke joined Tim and me where we were standing guard in the hallway, outside the closed door of the kitchen. ‘Nothing much, Matt. Ben and Sam are just having a little heart to heart, that’s all,’ I answered. ‘Oh! Trouble in Paradise?’ asked Luke. ‘No . . . nothing they can’t handle. Ben’s just having a little identity crisis, that’s all . . . and don’t you guys go saying anyth

    February 2003 - Samantha - It was one of those nights when everyone was restless. It was hot and muggy and the moon was out, and there was no way that you could sleep with anything covering you; it was all you could do to sleep on top of the bed covers. I had rolled over several times through the night and found Ben lying awake, with his arms folded behind his head, just staring at the ceiling. ‘Are you awake, honey?’ I asked him one time. I think that was at ab

    If you're offering, you'll have to get in line I'm afraid!

    What? Oh, shock, horror! All will be revealed ... eventually! ❤️

    The whole idea behind this story was to bring all the main characters from the first three stories together in one story ... then move forward, continuing the story arc with them in future stories set here. I hope you enjoy it 🙂 MP

    February 2003 - Tim - ‘Well, they certainly missed out on a good night out,’ I heard Ben say from the back seat of Guy’s car, as we cruised along the main street of town. We were heading home after enjoying ourselves at our favourite Chinese restaurant. He was referring, of course, to Matt and Luke, who had earlier left us a message on the kitchen table saying they were heading to the local pub. It was a glorious summer night, just right as far as I was concern

    And I can hear the theme music playing in my head right now!

    February 2003 - Luke - So, today is Friday. Three weeks exactly since we had landed back here in Thompsonville. Permanently this time though, and not just for some overnight stay, like we had been doing when we first discovered the place. When I got back to the house this afternoon, Matt was the only person home, and I found him sitting at the table in the kitchen with a cup of coffee in one hand, a red pen in the other and a newspaper stretched out in front of him.

    February 2003 - Ben - The morning after our newcomers had arrived, I woke alongside Samantha in the back of her small station wagon, looking eastward atop a mountain between Macquarie Harbour and Thompsonville, and towards a distant and dark horizon. The car was an old piece of crap that Sam had picked up cheap sometime last year, just so that she had a vehicle to get around in. In my first few days here she had shown me around the local sights, with yesterday after

    January 2003 - Guy - Moving house was something that I have always hated, and here I am now, eighteen years old and standing knee deep in boxes and junk, wishing that I was doing anything but this, but at the same time knowing that I’ve never been happier. When I was a kid, it seemed like we were moving constantly, mainly due to the fact that my dad was always being transferred from one town to another with his job. I think that was one of the main reasons why he a

    January 2003 - Matt - Ours was a future as yet unwritten. There was no preordained path for us to follow now, and such plans that our families once had for their beloved offspring were now banished to the past, with a new future and new plans to be all of our own choosing. As we wound our way along a snaking mountain road, through forests so green, beneath skies so blue, I couldn't help but feel liberated, despite what it was that I was leaving behind . . . well

    Leaving home for the first time and heading out into the big, wide world to forge a life for yourself can be a daunting thing for anyone . . . unless, of course, you have your best friends right there beside you, sharing the experience with you, the ups and downs, the highs and lows . . . We first met Matt and Luke, Tim and Guy, and all of their friends in After We Danced, The Rip and Song For Guy. Now they are living together in the small town of Thompsonville, a place they had quickly come to love . . . and their adventures have begun!

    When the boys finally arrived at the car park at Hidden Beach they found the place to be deserted, with not a soul in sight. ‘That’s unusual, especially during the holidays,’ Nate remarked as he looked around at the empty car park. ‘There’s usually someone around here on days like this.’ ‘Maybe everyone knew we wanted the place to ourselves today?’ ‘Dream on, poof!’ Nate laughed, while giving Danny a playful shove with his shoulder, which caused Danny to look at him sharply. He co

    If we ever make a movie out of this, the soundtrack is going to be an absolute killer!!! Maybe we need to start a go fund me campaign? Hahaha!

    For now I just think Danny wants Jake to take him to this "Tropical Loveland" so you can "Rock Me" and "Bang a Boomerang" 😄

    There's always something though, right? 😛

    It is a crying shame that I can't use two emoticons to respond to this comment ... a heart and a laugh! 💓 😂 Maybe that will have to do! Thank you!
