"Jack, please the last thing i need right now is your bullshit about sam! He's more than you think he is and i don't need you telling me who's right for me and who's not. I think of all people I would know who's right for me, not you!"

"Fi i'm only looking out for you, I know more about Sam than you know and there may be some things that you're just not seeing and he's not telling you. Is someone that doesn't tell you everything really right for you?"

"I can make my own bloody decisions now alright, I don't need you to do it for me any more and anyway it's not like i'm thinking about marriage or anything. Heck i'm only 16! It'll probably pass over eventually anyway so in the meantime, LET ME BE!"

"You know Fi, you've.... ahhh it's not worth it. You think you know it all, then fine go get hurt, and when you do don't come crying to me becauseas you said, you don't need me anymore!"

Jack walked out of Fi's room in a huff.

"Part of growing up is experiencing love and hurt jack!!!", Fi yelled out to jack through the now slammed door. She then fell back on her bed and started to cry. She was kidding herself when she said she didn't need Jack anymore. Ofcourse she did and she always would. Although lately they had been having more fights then usual and she hated it! Mainly they were about her love life and Sam, her boyfriend, and that just made it worse. She loved Sam but loved Jack and somehow her love for sam was bringing with it pain and hurt from fights with Jack.

"Not fair, not fair, NOT FAIR!" she said angrily into her pillow.

Jack stormed down the stairs and slumped down onto the couch in the living room of their Hope Springs Home, next to Clu.

"Well hello Sunshine!" joked Clu. "What was going on up there? I heard alot of yelling."

"Stupid Sam again. I honestly don't know what she sees in him!"

"Well Fi does have a great ability to see deep into people and like or love them for what's really inside. She can always seem to find the best in almost anyone!" Answered Clu.

"True", sighed Jack, "I suppose that's why she has so many friends and why so many people like her."

"Could be dude, could be. Anyway, I was gonna go for a run before it gets to dark, wanna come? Maybe we could grab a pizza on the way back"

"Sounds Great", replied Jack, "I'm right behind ya man, all the way..... to pizza!"

They both laughed, grabbed some money and walked out the door.

Everyone was home that fall. The Bell family and the Phillip family. It was the first time in a while. Clu was in his second year of college and Jack was in his first, Fi was in her second final year at higschool and had a new love: Sam Wescald. They had been going out for around two months and were very happy but... Jack was distraught!

Molly, Irene, Ned and Carey had just been to see a movie and were now eating dinner at the local restaurant.

"I'm beggining to become a little bit worried about Jack and Fi. They seem to be arguing a lot lately. I think it's about Sam, you know, Jack being his protective self but Fi... she's not gonna let even Jack make decisions for her or help or anything. I mean i know it's her first proper boyfriend but I think it's tearing her and Jack apart. I don't know what to think or do!"

Molly spilled her thoughts to all her comrades at the table.

"They'll pull through Molly", said Ned, "they always do, no matter what the problem or how big. They're closer than two peas in a pod. Have faith in them Molly. Have faith."

"I suppose you're right Ned. They are especially close and supportive of each other. It's just so strange, I mean, suddenly... they're growing up, my two little babies are really growing up!"

Meanwhile at the pizza place....

Jack and Clu came panting in the Pizza place. They ordered their pizza and sat down at one of the tables to wait.

"Jack you know I was thinking, you really shouldn't let sam get to you. Let him and Fi be, their not doing you any harm dude. Let Fi find out these things for herself, I mean I know you just wanna protect her but in the end man, it is her life and there isn't much you can do. You've done all you can. Sorry dude."

"Yeah I know Clu, I know she needs to experience all this herself but.... arrrgghh I dunno. Maybe it's just the sense that I might actually be losing her to some other dude. She's always kinda been mine, in the right sense of course, and now she's growing up and leaving me." Jack sighed.

"Deep man, deep. I understand totally, HEY! I wonder if Carey ever felt like this at all? Hmmm I should ask." Clu gave a quick laugh at this thought.

NUMBER 12, YOUR PIZZA IS READY. Came the call from the man at the counter. Clu and Jack jumped up.

"PIZZA", they both cried then grabbed their pizza and began the walk home.
