Anna smiled and rolled her eyes as Cale re-explained who it was that he liked. She loved it when he acted like this. It was this side of him that was the most attractive to her. It made her want to reach over and hug him tightly and never let go.

She smiled wider and nodded in reply to his question. "I'm really nervous, too," she said, leaning over so that she wasn't so far apart from him. "But really, Cale. It's just me. And you're just...you. You can tell me whatever you want, and I feel like I can do the same with you," she said, trying to make them both calm down. "Besides, I rarely ever get to see you, so it's kind of like, if I have something to say to you, I should say it now. Don't you agree with that, Cale?"

Jason waits a little longer for Jamie. Jason is ready to ride "Wild Thing" back to his castle. One of these days, Jason will be the one who is talked to instead of doing the talking to help others,

GAH! She was closer to him now, which did nothing to calm his nerves. "Yeah, you're right," he said in reply to what she had just said. That calmed him down a bit. This was just Anna. His best friend Anna. His hopefully-soon-to-be girlfriend Anna.

"Do you?" he asked suddenly. "I mean...do you have something you really want to say to me?" he asked, slower this time and not so eager. "I mean, I'm just...curious, I guess. I mean, I kind of have stuff I want to say too," he explained, blushing yet again. Ohmigod it was never ending!

Jason gets on "Wild Thing" ready to ride. He hoped Jamie would be there or someone would stop him if they cared about Jason. Jason thinks to himself " No, no one will talk to him nor do they care about him much.

"Do I?" she replied, blinking a little in surprise. She'd actually been hoping he would volunteer himself to share a few things, not ask her if she wanted to share. Ugh. She could sure get herself into some situations. True, she did have TONS to tell him, but she hadn't necessarily been ready to share all NOW.

"Well, okay. I'll go first then," she said. "I mean, I've already told you I like you." She looked up at him, trying to read his facial expression, but couldn't really tell anything. "As more than a friend," she added. She sat back in her chair and stared at him for a few seconds, trying to figure out just what to do next. "How do you feel about that Cale?" she asked.

Jason hops on "Wild Thing" as no one comes to talk to him or he does not see Jamie anymore. Jason flys to his castle ssadly. Jason waves good-bye and says "Thanks for everything everyone"

Wow, he hadn't been expecting her to put herself on the spot like that. When she finally admitted it, that she truly liked him, and not just in a friend liking kind of way, the dating kind of way, he was pretty sure his heart had just melted in his chest. He smiled and pushed a curl out of his face. "Well, I feel the same way about you, Anna," he told her, grinning even wider with each passing second.

In a sudden burst of confidence, he decided to finally bring up the one thing he had been dying to do since he first saw her at the party. He sat up in his seat, pushing his stupid curly hair out of his eyes once more. "Ok, my turn," he said with a chuckle. "Ok, I like you and you like me. Soooo..." he stopped, whether it was for dramatic effect or because he had suddenly gotten nervous, he wasn't sure. "Do you want to go on a date with me?" he asked.

Jason took a u-turn to see if anyone knew he was gone. No, no one is outside. They did not seem him leave. This is just not fun amymore. No Jamie, no family, no friends to talk him from going back to his castle. Jason flys back very sadly as he knows he ruined friendships and being with his family. They will never forgive him.

Anna was pretty sure her entire body, breathing and all, had stopped while she waited for Cale to reply. The only thing that felt like it was moving was her heart, which was currently beating faster than it ever had. When he finally said he felt the same way about her, Anna slowly felt herself come to life again. She felt like she could breathe normally and her heart had stilled to a normal pace.

"A date?" she asked, not looking for an answer but just trying to confirm what he'd just said. She knew she'd heard correctly, though. "Yes, yes, of course!" she exclaimed. She knew she sounded overly excited, but to be honest, she could care less about that. She jumped from her chair so fast she ended up knocking it over. In no time, she was right by Cale's side, leaning over and hugging him in happiness.

It all happened in a sudden flash of movement, and Anna had thrown herself into his arms. So fast, in fact, that he was pushed all the way against the back of the chair, and he could slowly feel himself tipping over backwards, and it all felt like it was in slow motion. OHMIGOSH! It was like the air guitar incident all over again.

After a quick spell of vertigo, they landed with a small thud on the patio, and Cale burst into laughter, his arms still wrapped around Anna in a hug. They must look pretty stupid right now. But none of that matter at the moment. All that mattered was that she had said yes. He was going on a date with Anna Greingoth!

He sat up, then turned to Anna and helped her up so that they were sitting on the patio now. "That's...that's great!" he managed to get out. He couldn't stop smiling. He knew this didn't make them official or anything, but it was definitely a big step for them. EEEEEEK! He was so excited!

Jason wonderered if they saw traces of "Wild Thing" outside or his shoe that fell off.

Reese grabbed a cookie from the table and walked over to the nearest chair and sat down.What was this?The...third party she has been to.At least this party was drama-free...for now.

Jason flew over the Nanor but no one see the traces of him leaving. His shoe and a mark by "Wild Thing". Jason left because Jamie was not there, the coules were talking and no one ever wants to ask about his problems. He always cares about others. Jason flies back to the castle and maybe permanently.

"I am going to take a walk." He said to Melinda.

Chris went out the door. "I am so stupid." He said to himself. Then he saw a trace he knew it was left by "Wild Thing." He woundered where Jason was.

Melinda felt like a bunch of trash at that moment. She broke Chris's heart, by saying those really stupid words. He was now outside, taking a walk, maybe thinking he's the one stupid when nothing is like that. She really liked him, was it love? Or just a teenage crush? Melinda was so confused about that matter, but anyways, really cared about Chris.

She sighed and saw the beautiful couple, Anna and Cale out the window. They were now fixing a date...cute!!! She thought and smiled. But all this was so confusing for her.

Melinda saw Reese. She approached. "Hey...sorry I have left you out...for long..." She said and sort of smiled.

Reese looked up at Melinda."Oh,you haven't left me out,"she said.She looked out the window and saw Cale...and Anna."Cale's here?Wow,I didn't know that."

"Yeah..." Melinda said and sighed. "And of course, immediately, went to talk to Anna..." She said and smiled. "They look so cute...together..." She said, and giggled.

Anna hadn't meant to practically dive on him that hard. Really, she hadn't, but as soon as she wrapped her arms around him, she felt the chair tip...tip...tip...and then BAM! Both she and Cale were on the ground, all because she'd knocked him over literally tackling him in a hug.

The best part was that neither one of them seemed to care. As soon as Anna heard Cale laughing, she started in, too. They must be making quite the scene to anyone who could see them from inside. Who cared what anyone else thought, though. Anna Greingoth was going on a date with Cale frazzling Newell!

"It is, isn't it?" she said, grinning from ear to ear. She probably looked goofy being that excited about going on a date with him, but none of that mattered at all right now. "Oh my gosh! I'm so excited, Cale!" she said, leaning over and giving him another hug, skip the tackling this time. "Where are we going?!?!"

"They do look cute together,"Reese said.She looked at Melinda."I'm going to move away form the wondow,so they don't see us spying on them."She walked a few steps away from the window and smile.

"that's an awesome idea..." Melinda said and smiled. She sighed. Chris was not there. She felt so bad for him, really bad. She just couldn't stop about him, about those that beautiful sentence he had said to her.

Anna seemed even more excited than he was, if it was possible. Still smiling like a loony, he hugged her back a second time. "Well, to Hogsmeade, of course!" he chuckled. "Where else would we go?"

"Now we just need to pick a place," he said, tapping his chin in thought after he had finally let go of her.

It suddenly occurred to him how much things had changed over the past few months. The day he had met Anna Greingoth, he had nearly strangled her. If someone had come up to him on the street and said "Pssh, forget that pink haired girl you like, you're going to end up with your little cousin's best friend," he would have suggested they go check themselves into St. Mungos. But now...everything had changed. And he wouldn't have asked for things any other way.

Chris walked back in. And when he got down to the basement he saw Melinda. He just stood there not knowing if he should go up to her.

ooc. Eh, hem...Anna...Lissy...this house is subplotted. Think of it as we are out of school and in summer...so summer.

Melinda was sitting down and then looked up when she heard someone coming in the doors. It was Chris. She gulped. But didn't held herself. She just went up to him and hugged him tight. "I am so sorry" She whispered.

Anna playfully rolled her eyes and then giggled a little. "That's what I meant. I was wondering what place in Hogsmeade," she explained. "You pick. Give me a time and a place, and I'll be there." That was when a horrible thought occured to her. "Cale, what if they don't let us go to Hogsmeade this weekend? You do think we'll be able to go, right?" Anna surely hoped so. She had a date planned now, and if any Ministry professor dared to step in the way of that, Merlin be with them.

While waiting for an answer to his question, another thought suddenly popped up in Anna's mind, and she couldn't stop herself from laughing out loud. "Cale," she said, trying to stop herself from laughing. "I just thought of something. Remember the very first day we met? I bet it never crossed your mind that the bratty girl you met in Diagon Alley would be the one you were taking out on a date many months later!"

Chris sighed and hugged Melinda back. "Why are you sorry,I shouldn't have ever said that and I am sorry." He whispered back
