TEASER THREE

🎟️ TICKET TO A SUMMER RENDEZVOUS :: COMPLETE
Please log in to read the full chapter
teaser three april 4, 2020   "Nessie!" a loud, excited voice screeched from the front door.   Vanessa almost lost her balance and fell off the couch at the sudden scream. She scrambled to stabilise her laptop that was perched on her thighs, before pressing the space bar to pause the drama she had been watching and ripping off her earpiece. She looked up wildly before sighing heavily at the sight of Chanel's thrilled face as she burst through the front door behind Leon. Vanessa was in the middle of the final episode of Crash Landing on You when the front door opened with an automatic sound. As that fan-favourite Korean drama had ended a while back, she was able to restfully binge-watch the entire series without having to painfully wait for the weekly updates. All this while, she had been leeching off of Russell's Netflix family account ever since her own free trial had expired a week ago and she was just too lazy to register for a new account for another free month. Apparently, she heard that she would need a new bank card to link to a new account and she definitely did not have that many bank cards to use for Netflix.   "Shut up, Nellie! You almost made me drop and break a plate," Russell's voice rang out from the kitchen, where he stood scrubbing the dirty dishes. He had lost a game of rock-paper-scissors to Vanessa earlier and ended up becoming the dishwasher for the evening with much despair.   "Please, I've eaten in this apartment enough times to know that those plates are made of plastic, because your cheapskate doesn't want to buy the ceramic ones. So they won't break no matter how hard you throw them on the floor." Chanel waved the older male off dismissively as she dropped the cup of bubble tea she was holding on the dining table before skipping towards Vanessa with a greater purpose, totally ignoring the string of expletives leaving Russell's lips.   "Let's go on double dates tomorrow!" Chanel exclaimed jovially as she sat beside Vanessa and side-hugged the older girl.   Vanessa nearly choked on her own saliva at the younger's words. Removing herself from Chanel's grasp, she closed her laptop and carefully set it down in the middle of the tea table, far away from herself, so that any subsequent surprises from Chanel wouldn't cause any damage to her precious MacBook Pro. Vanessa quietly eyed Chanel as if the younger girl had grown another head.   Chanel took Vanessa's silence as consent to continue.    "I found us dates, really gorgeous dates!" Chanel sighed blissfully and went on to deliver her grand ten-minute speech on how she had become acquainted with two gorgeous Korean oppas, Samuel Im and Joel Lee, from the varsity basketball team over a game of basketball and a KBBQ dinner. Over dinner, she had shown Joel a picture of Vanessa and had somehow managed to convince the boys to take the two of them out on a joint date the very next day.   Vanessa's head began to hurt towards the end of Chanel's spiel with the information overload.   She turned towards Leon, who had just come out of the shower while Chanel was rambling excitedly, and huffed indignantly, "And you just sat there and let her sell me off to a complete stranger without any intervention? What kind of friend are you?"   Leon shrugged as he messily dried his hair with a towel. "I didn't know she was selling you off

Chapter 26: Ok I finally got time to sit and comment, I truly owe you an apology for taking so long ;-;

I'm getting emotional, it has been a long ride and I can't believe everything just came to an end and everyone is so happy now! I'm glad that everyone is doing ok and I'm so so proud that Chloe was able to get out of her shell doing this journey and that she followed her dream. I'm also so happy for Ellucy getting married and even for Nessie and Leon :) I'm also happy for Jason to find his happiness and that Estee and Jason became close friends!
I'm so proud of everyone really!

I wonder if Estee and Russell got together or if they just decided to remain friends. And honestly it would be so nice to see a chapter of the marriage xD

Thank you so much Emily and Dreamer for making my weekend become brighter and help me relax from the chaos that has been my life for the past few months. I can't believe how much everything has changed these months and I'm truly happy that you're all safe and sound. I just want to thank you all once more and say that I'm so grateful for you taking so much effort in this story.
I'm taking care of my app so see you soon at Class of 2020. Let's get a new journey start! This isn't a goodbye but yes a see you later ;) take care and please relax and be safe!

Chapter 25: shiiit i honestly got so emotional reading this chapter, especially the last section :( lucy’s comment about how she considers everyone her family really moved me. ♡( ◡‿◡ ) this story is proof that a journey really is best measured in friends rather than miles. i can’t believe it already ended OTL i’m like so sad about it ending but at the same time i’m also really happy with the development of all individual characters and their respective relationships!

congratulations on completing your first apply fic!!! :D it honestly feels so weird seeing the complete status on the story since, as emily mentioned in the epilogue, it’s so rare for apply fics to be completed. i feel like i hit jackpot when i applied for this story LOL fr you two are the GOAT!!! thank you so much for the weekly updates (srsly kudos to you guys for the commitment to update every week despite your busy schedules!), the hard work that went into producing quality chapters, and for doing justice to everyone’s characters! i’m really happy with your portrayal of bianca and the development of her relationship with lucas! <3 the awkward beginning, the confrontation, starting over, the confession, and finally being in a relationship once more. IT’S HONESTLY SO SATISFYING. it’s also crazy cause this story legit started and ended at the same time as my semester XD i always went back to reading the chapters whenever i was stressed af.

aNYWAY i’m like a broken record at this point but thank you guys again so much for writing this story and for accepting bianca into this crazy journey. i’m looking forward to how you guys will write co2020! i know it will be just as amazing ^^ <3

Chapter 24: after 6 teasers and 12 chapters, leon FINALLY confessed to vanessa. THE WAY I SQUEALED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SECTION >.< the whole confession was honestly so freaking romantic!!! leon was so smooth with the shakespeare verses (jaehyun as fc is definitely the icing on the cake)! but oh man i remember dreading learning about shakespeare’s works in high school LMAO i didn’t think leon was the kind of guy who’s interested in literature, he even remembers the lines exactly, but i love this unexpected side of him!

and, finally, the other couple we’ve been rooting for since day 1, jolie! kudos to amelie for mustering the courage to confess! i also love how it was amelie who confessed to jonas first. thank goodness she decided to confess first, otherwise she’ll be stuck guessing what her relationship with jonas is :P i have to say, this is something you need to be clear about, jonas! how’s amelie supposed to know if he doesn’t say anything? ;^; then again, he’s the “actions speak louder than words” kinda guy, and he’s been extremely sweet to amelie during the latter half of the trip, so i guess i shoudn’t have been surprised? XD

Chapter 23: hi hi, here i am with my overdue comments, i hope you guys don’t mind :”) i’m gonna be spamming your notifs today

as a film junkie, this is definitely one of my favorite chapters! i felt so nostalgic while reading this XD

i’m so happy with the development of jason in this story! he used to be a total simp for amelie but i’m glad he matured throughout the trip and was finally able to accept that jonas is the one amelie has feelings for. and i absolutely adore the friendship between estee and jason! i actually ended up reading the epilogue before i read chapters 12-14 OTL but i love how estee and jason grew closer throughout the years! like estee already met jason’s girlfriend through video call before he even informed the rest of the group that he has a girlfriend :> overall the entire harry potter section was so fun to read! it actually made me want to binge watch the series all over again since it’s been so long honestly HAHA

rowan and lani’s section is hilarious LMAOOO the emcee is a comedy genius, along with jeremy XD i died when the emcee said “you two need some counselling” AKJSFKADF no sis that’s just rowan being rowan HAHAHA and i died once more when lani indirectly proposed to rowan :< he’s such a tease most of the time but i love these moments when he’s so sweet towards rowan. this ship is sailing beautifully!

i’m crying @ bianca and lucas’ section! the first time they met was a double date as well and it ended miserably for them. now they’re having another double date but they’re much more comfortable with one another and having a genuinely fun time. they’ve come a long way! for whatever reason i actually thought they’d end up having the same fate as rustee lol (i’m STILL crying over their break up) so i kinda mentally prepared myself for the heartbreak, but i’m pleasantly surprised and extremely happy with how things turned out for them! they deserve to be happy uwu and i missed alice omg! bianca’s friendship with alice is chaotic af LMAO the way they swear with every sentence is a huge mood

thank you guys for the walkthrough of universal studios! XD this was a really fun read! i literally squealed at every film/series/animation that was mentioned throughout HAHA and all of the attractions/rides sound interesting! i’d definitely try the walking dead and thriller attractions :P

Chapter 26: Omg, we've come to the end of the fourteen day trip and wow, what a ride! There's the drama, the madness, the fun, and I really enjoyed reading the story from day one up till the epilogue. Congrats to Lucy and Elliot! I'm happy to see that everyone is doing well too, and I totally caught on the BTO flat talk in the epilogue, ahaha (that's the Singaporean way, and I'm Singaporean myself XD). I'm curious though, how's Estee doing in 2022? I think a perfect song to sum this all up is 别世界 by E-girls ^^

Thank you so much for your hard work and bringing us this awesome story! I'm very certain that it's not easy writing a story, but really, I'd wanna congratulate the both of you for such a job well done. I remember looking forward to the new chapter being posted, and the excitement I get when I see the notifications! XD

Although Ticket to a Summer Rendezvous has come to an end, I'm very much looking forward to Class of 2020, and how everyone there will interact with each other. I'm sure it's gonna be another wild ride, but an exciting and enjoyable one nonetheless!

Chapter 26: okay, in all honesty, i really am emotional since you guys did it! i felt a bit sad and happy when i saw the complete label in the title and status! i'm so proud of the quality you guys consistently gave us and i want to offer a virtual hug to all the other applicants who enjoyed the ride with me! shoutout to everyone, even though i know some of them are busy with real life stuff that they havent logged in for a while! i'm taking the time to say that i miss you guys and i hope you guys are doing okay!

on another note, this fic started when i was a fresh high school graduate locked up in quarantine and it ended when i'm now a month into college so gosh, it helped me look forward to every sunday/monday because it was so fun! i love how everyone is right now in the epilogue (gOSH, ELLUCY STILL OUT THERE BEING THE BEST COUPLE) and i am looking forward to how you guys build the world of class of 2020 <3
