Once about 90% of the show was over for the week  Billie and Peyton went ahead and just walked around backstage. Despite the little falling out  with Kayla earlier, things calmed back down quicker than expected. Overall, it seemed like Peyton got happier again in an instant and maybe that had something to do with a certain someone who was talking with the producers at the moment. Billie caught on, nudging her best friend to get her attention.

Billie:" So this is the man you're eyeing?"

Peyton:" He has been a point of interest for sure. I just don't know why."

Billie:" And you haven't talked to him yet?"

Peyton:" No...For some reason I get really shy when he's near. What should I do?"

Billie:" Get some guts and talk to him. I've known you long enough, Peyton. Just introduce yourself and take it from there."

Peyton:" Can I go there like this though?"

Billie:" You look great, girl. Don't worry about it too much and just do it. I'll wait for you."

Peyton:" You owe me something, if this goes south."

Billie just laughed it off and stepped back a bit as Peyton straightened herself again and began walking towards her so called 'point of interest', hoping desperately that things would go well. She hasn't been this nervous for a while, but he did something to the australian that she couldn't describe. When she arrived though, he immediatly turned around.

Y/N:" Good evening. How can I help you?"

Peyton:" I-I'm Peyton. Nicetomeetyou!"

Y/N:" Umm well, nice to meet you too, Peyton. I'm Y/N."

Peyton:" Y/N..."

Y/N:" Yes, that's me."

Peyton:" Oh yeah, sorry. I'm a little nervous right now."

Y/N:" There's no need to be nervous when you're near me. I'm not doing anything to you."

Peyton:" If you only knew....I-I saw your match. It was a nice win over Curtis and I have to say your fighting style is interesting to watch as well."

Y/N:" You think so? I don't think it's that impressive honestly."

Peyton:" You're joking. Look at yourself and the moves you do."

Y/N:" From my view, I'm not the only one with some muscle here."

Peyton:" Oh you mean these?"

Peyton unintensionally flexed and showed off her biceps and triceps to Y/N who chuckled softly. Some of the previously present tension disappeared and the atmosphere got a lot more comfortable as Y/N looked Peyton up and down. Billie saw it from a distance, feeling like he was checking her best friend out, so that was a win in her book already, while Peyton giggled and shyly ran a hand through her hair.

Peyton:" I know this question might sound weird, but are you doing anything tomorrow?"

Y/N:" It's not weird. And no, I don't really have any plans for tomorrow yet. What do you have in mind?"

Peyton:" Maybe a picnic, if that's your thing. Just spending some time near a pond with some snacks and all."

Y/N:" You had me at 'picnic', Peyton. Let's say around 10 a.m.?"

Peyton:" That works for me, Y/N. I will bring some things both of us hopefully like."

Y/N:" I already see something, but that's a different story hehe."

Peyton:" Did he just flirt with me?...You didn't just say that."

Y/N:" I did and I mean it."

Peyton:" Oh getting to know each other will be a lot of fun."

Y/N:" You have no idea what's coming, cupcake. I'll see you tomorrow, alright?"

With that and blowing her a kiss, Y/N left and made his way towards the lockerrooms to finally shower and get changed. Meanwhile Peyton had to register everything that just happened to her in that conversation all while Billie finally came over and had a huge grin on her face.

Billie:" There you go, Pey! First chat with him and you already have a date with him tomorrow."

Peyton:" A date with Y/N. Billie, I need your advice for tomorrow or I'll blow holes in this ship before it set sail!"

Billie:" Alright, I'll help you with whatever you need. Also, his name is Y/N? Cute."

Peyton:" Don't you dare think about going after him!"

Billie:" I wasn't! Geez, you definitly need to relax when we get to the hotel."

Peyton:" I am perfectly fine, thank you."

Billie:" Not when it comes to him, you're not. But I know you can rock this tomorrow. After what happened with Shawn, I can feel Y/N will treat you better, y'know?"

Peyton:" Yeah, I know what you mean. It's time to leave the past behind us and move on to the next chapter of life."

Billie:" You're right. And hey, who knows what's next for us as well? Maybe the stars will align and give us more luck soon."

Peyton:" Have you been calling that fortune teller again?"

Billie:" Ugh, I should never even have brought this up."

Groaning in annoyance, Billie just left and went towards the parking lot while Peyton stayed behind, snickering at her friends' annoyed expression. Eventhough they've been talking and thinking everything through several times, Billie couldn't get it through to Peyton just yet. However, mentioning Shawn before was a big thing for Peyton too since the two broke up not too long ago. Things just didn't work out and they couldn't really see eye to eye anymore, so to save one another from more harm, they called things off for good. Yes, times,were tough to get through, even bringing Peyton to a point where she was close to asking for time off to reorganize her life and turn herself around. The matches she and Billie had were still fun and everything, but her focus definitly wasn't on them there. For now though, things seemed fine and with what was to come tomorrow, Peyton couldn't help but smile to herself.

Peyton:" What am I gonna do with you, Y/N? You've got yourself into something you know nothing about, dear."

Things looked very very exciting for the beautiful woman and her thoughts shifted once more to her new flame so to speak. Maybe there was good ahead, maybe Y/N would be good for her and maybe he would turn out to be the missing piece in this puzzle. Only time would tell here and Peyton could barely wait as she then proceeded to join Billie again.
