Lucy gazed at him as he pulled her close yet again. If he kept doing this, she would be breathless everytime she was around him.
"I guess we are," She whispered back, giving him a smile.

Sabel dropped his hand as he looked around and blinked. Was it really still dark out? He blinked again. It was. It felt like morning. Maybe it was just really early.

Scrubbing a hand over his face he glanced at Arya. "Do you know what time it is?"

It was now or never. Tyler's feeling for Lucy grew more everyday he spent with her. Though he found it strange how he fell for a girl who stuffed a cupcake in to his mouth, pushed him into the lake and turned his hair bright pink. But they say opposites attract. Without thinking, Tyler kissed Lucy. But he quickly parted from her, blushing a bit. "Uhhh...sorry,"

Lucy was so surprised by the kiss that she didn't know what he was doing. However, it dawned on her after he stepped away and apologized. She looked at him and slowly grinned--there was no doubt that he had feelings for her. It was out in the open now.
"It's okay..." She mumbled, wishing it had lasted longer. After a couple of minutes, she spoke again. "Why'd you do it?" She wanted him to admit his feelings for her; and if he did, then she would too.

Tyler nodded and sighed in relief. Okay, good. Lucy wasn't mad at what he did. Wasn't it obvious why he did it? But if he must explain. "Because I like you, alot," he smiled and played with her new red hair. "Yeah you might've tried to kill me in the past, but it didn't mean I didn't like it. It made me laugh and see that you're not all evil, like you look," he laughed and ruffled his hair. "Plus, I think you look wayyyyyyyy better with red hair than your blondie style,"

Awww, he said it! Lucy was so giddy on the inside that she could hardly breathe. And then she laughed softly. "You think I look evil?" She asked him, letting him play with her red hair, which he like so much better. She agreed with him, it was a lot nicer and the change felt good.
"I'm glad you like my hair, Ty. And," She said as she reached up to mess up his hair some more, "I really like you, too." So sweet!!

"Just a bit," he laughed and put his hands back in his pockets. Tyler let Lucy play with his hair. For some reason he liked people messing with his hair. "Aww how cute," he chuckled and hugged her. "So does this mean we're official now?"

Well she guessed vampire fangs were cool. But not her thing. Shrugging Allison was about to ask why she wore make-up as well when Sabel asked the time.

Allison opened her mouth to give a smart-butt answer when she realized she didn't have one at all. Ignoring the lot of them, Allison turned to face the sky. What time was it? Not knowing and partially not caring she shrugged.

"Dunno. I don't. But I guess it would be best to set off. I don't want to be caught outside at whatever this time it is."

She had a long day the following morning...or in a few minutes or whenever. Transfiguration, DADA, Divination...the list was long. Allison picked up her bags and was about to head off when she remembered something. Walking back towards Arya she whispered in her ear, "It's up to you to wake up Emily."

Giggling she waved Avery and Arya goodbye and approached Sabel next. "I'm glad we we fixed all that mess. Really it had meh going coo-coo." Twirling her finger by her ear Allison gave Sabel a grin. Sighing she raised herself to her tip-toes and kissed Sabel on the cheek, "Good nighty or morning Sabel. Dun let the excited crazy girls bite. Oh and be careful with getting caught on your way to your room."

Nodding to herself, and not wondering whether she had just made poor Sabel completely uncomfortable, Allison skipped off, humming to herself the popular muggle tune at the time.

She laughed and then hugged him back. As for his question, she was still nervous. "I don't know, are we?" She asked him, still grinning like it was the best day of her life--which it probably was. She sooo wanted him to say yes, but it was up to him. She would have said yes, but it seemed prudent to let the guy decide. Silly, but that's how she rolled.

"Do you want me to answer my own question?" he laughed, still holding her. Well then, looks like Tyler had the answer to his own wondering. "Yes, we are," he smiled at her. It was a special smile no one had seen before. It was a smile that just felt different from all the rest.

He was expecting the time. He was patiently waiting for a response from Arya when Allison yet again did the unpredictable.

It was like the spell the White Witch from Narnia cast over those she didn't like; he felt frozen rock solid. He could only blink as Allison furthered the moment by implanting rather disturbing thoughts and scenarios to run through the film screen that was his mind.

And he was left like that, watching her walk away with little motor function or logic to put that function in gear. After a moment he gathered enough wits to say goodbye to the two girls and start off for...his dormitory he supposed.

He still didn't know what time it was.

Lucy smiled at him as he had to answer his own question. "Yeahhh..." She said slowly, waiting for his answer. And yay, he said yes! She grinned and then leaned in close, laying her head on his shoulder.
"Finally," She said with a chuckle, hoping he realized that she was just joking. It had taken him a while, but they got there in the end. And it was like the perfect ending to their story. Except there were bumps that they had to go over now--Traingirl, and Kat. Oh, poor Kat. What would she think? As she thought this, Lucy spoke up.
"I wonder what Kat will think of this...and TrainGirl," She said, getting off his shoulder and looking at him with a worried look. She really hoped Kat wouldn't be mad at her.

She watched as Allison got up and left, waving goodbye. "See ya in class Allie!"She turned to Sabel about to tell him the time but he was already gotten up to leave as well. "I think its around 10pm Sabel, goodnight!"She turned to Avery and waved goodbye before getting up and heading off to her dormitory.

"Oh really now? Were you expecting this to happen for a while now?" he asked and laughed, nuzzling his nose into her hair. Awww, sweet scent. He lightly chuckled and looked up. Kat. Ugh, she might kill him for going out with her best friend. Her uncle dating her best friend. Tyler had to explain it to her some way or another. "I'll talk to Kat. But I think Cadence wouldn't mind since she has Nate now,"

"I would have had to do something drastic if you had taken any longer," She replied with a giggle. Awww, cute nuzzle!! Lucy grabbed his hand and started walking around the garden. "Okay, but I think she'd rather hear from both of us," She said softly. And it wasn't like Kat was being left out or anything, right? Riiiiiiiiight? Well, Lucy was pretty sure that Kat would not want be around when they were...nuzzling (hehe). But still,...she was her best friend.
"I really hope she understands," She said as she stopped walking and faced Tyler again. And then there was TrainGirl. It was funny because even though Lucy knew her name now, she still kind of liked calling her TrainGirl--it just had a better ring to it. "Let's not worry about her," She said with a smile.

"Drastic measures," tyler laughed and shook his head. He walked along side with Lucy as she pulled him with her. "Okay so we'll just tell her later," he said and gazed at the flowers. Tyler knew Kat might have a hard time at first with it, but maybe she would get used to it. Ty wasn't going to exclude Kat from his life just because he was dating her best friend now. "Sadly I promised her that I'd tell her if I'm dating someone, but that was before her relationship,"

Lucy nodded as he talked about Kat--yes, they could tell her later. She'd have to understand, or...or it would crush Lucy. And then back to TrainGirl.
"Are you serious?! Wow..." She said in response. TrainGirl ticked her off now; it's as if she didn't care about the people she was hurting, and was going through boys as if they were flowers: 'Oh, I don't like this one, I'll throw it away.' Now Lucy shook her head as she thought about her and willed herself to forget about it. It really wasn't her problem. "Yeah, I don't think she'll care much now that she's with Nate," She scoffed, leaning into Tyler again.

"Yeah, but I think I'll let her find out on her own. She didn't tell me about hers so why should I tell her about mine," Tyler said and pulled Lucy closer to him. Now all he had to do was to find that munchkin of his. And he knew exactly where she was. "Come on. Let's go tithe jungle gym. I'm sure kitty Kat's there," he laughed and started walking towards it; still holding Lucy's hand.

Lucy rolled her eyes at him and then nodded as Tyler led her to the Jungle Gym to find Kat. She hoped it would turn out better than she expected; afterall, Kat's always full of surprises. "Lead the way, LoverBoy," She said with a giggle.

Avery walked out to the gardens and over to a flower bed. "Orchideous", she murmered, swooping her wand in a large circle. A few black roses sprouted from the dirt. "Papilo" A few white butterflies shot out of her wand and circled the roses.

Sidney makes her way to the student garden. She figures it would be the perfect place to let some butterflies free. After all butterflies love flowers. Sidney walks into the garden and the first thing she sees is a map and atlas for the Student Garden.

She reads the list carefully. This garden has eveything. Irises,lilies, Jasmine, Carnations, and Roses... Oooh I love roses. The butterflies will go wild in here. And the colors, the Monarch and blue butterflies will coordinate beautifully with the flowers. This is perfect. Sidney finds a quiet place away from the other students. She doesn't want to bother anyone. Sidney then takes out her wand. She closes her eyes and remembers the Monarch butterflies that always congregate in her mother's garden in the fall and winter. Sidney the waves her wand and says, "Papillio." Dozens of beautiful Monarch butterflies fill the garden. She opens her eyes and watches them fly around. Beautiful and so easy. The more I do this spell the better I get. Now the blue butterflies. They're my favorite. Sidney waves her wand again and repeats the incantation. Beautiful blue butterflies sail out the tip of Sidney's wand. She watches them fly around too and light on the flowers. Sidney would love to sit on the pink bench and watch the butterflies flutter around, but Sidney has more practice to do. She puts her wand back in its holster and leaves the garden.

Evelyn had walked all the way from the slightly disturbing Transfiguration class, looking for somewhere quiet to practice the spells they learned, even though she pretty much already had the hang of it. Well it was for homework, and if she were to admit it, she found conjuring flowers and butterflies a little fascinating. Not that she would admit it...

Having never been to the student garden though, she decided to check it out. There were a few people here and there, including someone that looked like they were practicing the spells as well. Aaaand, there were no good quiet spots...

Sighing, and without taking her time to look at the beauty of the garden, she went off the trail, ducking under a few branches of trees and making sure to not step on any flowers for fear of Bunz appearing out of nowhere and throwing her to the Devil's Snare. Finally finding a spot where she could sit behind a few bushes and be unnoticed, Evelyn sat down and placed her bag next to her, taking out her wand. Conjuring flowers and butterflies...Weird assignment.

Though with a wave of her wand, and a confident "Papilio", a few different butterflies appeared from the end of her wand, including the green and silver, and 'Bunz' butterflies. Watching them fly around for a few moments, leaning against the green bush, she closed her eyes, feeling suddenly tired. Too many sleepless nights and the stuffed dragon that Josh had given her didn't help her fall asleep anymore which slightly frustrated her.

Taking a deep breathe and laying down, using her bag as a pillow, she decided to try the flower spell again. At least then she could say that she practiced both...Thinking of roses again, by the time she did the spell, she couldn't decide which color rose she wanted. "Orchideous" she mumbled while swooping her wand in a circle. What came out was not what she was expecting. "A white and red rose? Is that even possible?" She'd never seen such a rose before, and of course, she had to sit up and examine it even more.

Well, nothing was NOT possible...Though it wasn't as pretty as a regular red rose, in her opinion of course.

Nate held Cad's hand as they ran/skipped to the garden. Nate had heard it was romantic at sunset so after dinner he hurried her here. "I hope its as cool as they say" he said sitting down with Cad on his lap.

Cadence had never been to this part of the grounds before, so she followed Nate where ever he led her. It was almost sunset, and she was feeling extremely content at the moment, both because she had just eaten and because she was with Nate. The evening was unseasonably warm, and Cadence was perfectly comfortable in Nate's sweatshirt. She looked around at the garden as they entered it, and then she felt Nate pull her into his lap, and she sat down. "Well, I mean, it's really beautiful, but is there supposed to be any particular cool thing that happens?" she asked him.

"The sunset his supposed to be really pretty. More beautiful than you. Which I doubt is true but..." he said twirling the ends of her hair around his finger.
