"Dan! Dan!" Bess flagged the lad down as he carried firewood from the stack by the house. Bess was standing near the fence by the pasture.

"What is it?" Dan asked curiously as he sauntered over to the blonde was staring at something in the distance.

'Look!" She pointed to two figures sitting in the field. Dan craned his neck and squinted his eyes to see who the two figures were. It was Nat and Nan.

"It's Nat and Nan. Big deal they hang out and talk all the time." He shrugged it off and began to head to the house. Bess quickly grabbed him pulling him back to observe further.

"That's exactly what I mean Dan. They're always together. Why don't they just admit they like each other already?" Bess prattled on to Dan who stood rather confused. Nat and Nan liked each other?

"wow, you really are clueless aren't you." She rolled her eyes and left the confused boy there to come to his senses.

Meanwhile in the field sat Nat and Nan observing the Beatle Nan had just caught.

"She's a 'bute ain't she?" Nan smiled at her find and continued to look at it through her magnifying glass.

"Yeah, it's real neat!" Nat chimed in. Nan looked up to survey her surroundings noticing Bess and Dan watching them in the field. She quickly nudged Nat in the side.

"Nat, look!" Nat's head shot up to check it out when he felt another sharp pain in his side from Nan's slender elbow. "Not so obvious!" Nat tips his head up slightly, inspecting the couple over by the fence.

"I wonder what they're lookin' at." Nat was as clueless as Dan at this time. Nan elbowed him once more rolling her eyes.

"They're looking at us dummy."

"Why would they be looking at us?" His head slipping up a bit further.

"I dunno. But I've seen 'em together a lot recently."

"And…?" Nat looks at Nan cocking his head.

"Maybe they're just actin' like they're lookin' at us." Nan explains.

"Huh?" asks Nat becoming more and more confused by the minute.

"Maybe they're actually just 'spendin' time with each other'."She gives Nat a look.

Thinking he may be beginning to understand what Nan is getting at he responds. "Oh, I dunno Nan. Maybe they really are watching us."

"They ain't I just know it." Nan hopes up and begins back to the house.

"Where are you going?" Nat runs after her.

"To talk to Bess, maybe I can get something outta her. You should do the same with Dan." She lifts her eyebrows.

"Nan, I really don't think it's any of our business. Remember what happened last time?" He raises an eyebrow toward Nan.

"Yeah, but last time it was because they were fighting. Now it's 'cause they're gettin' along." She gives a cocky smile and tramps in to the house Nat following behind giving in.

"Ahh Bess. Just the girl I wanted to see!" Nan marches in to the girls room and flops down boyishly on to her bed.

"Me? Why on earth would you be looking for me?" He begins to feel guilty for spying earlier wondering if Nan had noticed.

"I noticed something.." Nan began.

Oh No! She did notice! Bess' palms became sweaty so she rubbed them against her skirt to dry them.

"You and Dan have been spendin' an awful lot of time together lately." Nan asks coyly.

Feeling a sudden relief, she was safe for now, Bess perks up at her vanity.

"Oh? Have we?" The blond answers slyly.

"Yeah, gettin' pretty comfortable with each other?" Nan raises an eyebrow to her roommate. Bess whipped around in her chair, "well I could say the same about you and a certain violinist." She smirks and cocks an eyebrow at her friend. Nan was taken back by her remark. So what if Nat and I hang out a lot. We're friends… I-I mean Nat doesn't have feelings for me even if… her mind trailed off as Bess spoke once again, "Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions dear Anthea." Nan cringed at the sound of her full name.

"Well, I guess I shouldn't even though I haaave noticed Dan watchin' ya when you walk away…" Nan dragged out the "a" in have as to catch Bess' attention and boy did it.

"He does?!" Bess yipped giddily.

"Ah-ha!" Nan jumps erect to her friend sitting at the vanity placing her hands on her hips.

Bess' eyes widened and her mouth hung open as she stammered, "I-I… Uhh…" Nan laughed as the princess' surprise.

"Well." Bess snapped. "who wouldn't be curious about being stalked?!"

Nan raised her brows. "Stalked?"

"Well, it is quite… odd." She struggled to find her words.

Nan simply rolled her eyes she was clearly getting nothing out of this interrogation. So she left to go find Nat and see how he was coming along with Dan.

Peering in to the room Nat recognized his childhood friend sitting relaxed him his bed working on no doubt his homework he had neglected to finish the night before. Nat scoffed to announce his presence.

"Oh, hey Nat. How's it goin'?" Dan offered a welcoming hand smack.

"Oh, it's going real good." Nat felt nervous about prying into Dan personal life.

"Did ya need somethin'?" Dan looked to his friend concerned.

Sitting down on to his bed Nat look to his hardy friend. "Well, actually…"

Dan sat up suddenly interested, he looked at Nat intently.

"Is there anything going on between you and Bess?"

Me and Bess? Ew! These were the initial thoughts in Dan's mind but soon more fond thoughts crept in with the thought of his pretty Bess.

"Me and Bess?" Dan laughed. "Naw… Why? Did she say somethin' 'bout me?" Dan's mouth hung half open as usual.

"Not exactly…" Nat began to grasp for a reason to pry. "She just… uh… I noticed she always turns back around when she walks away from you…" Nat felt sick from his lie but Dan perked up immediately.

"She does!" A crooked smile crept across Dan's face. He liked the thought of Bess lookin' back at him.

"Uh.. Yeah! All the time!" Nat felt sick with guilt once again.

Dan remembering his 'mission' at least that's what Bess called it, turned to Nat. "Oh yeah, I've noticed Nan do that to when you guys part ways!" Dan felt less bad about fibbing.

Nat's blue eyes lightened. "Really?"

Dan leaned back in his bed, kicking his feet up. "Oh yeah."

Nat thought for a second. Could Nan like me? The thought was pleasant in his mind. Thinking of Nan reminded him about Nan and their plot, he'd better go check in with her and see what she found out. "Well, I better get going." Nat began to slip out of the room. Dan waved a quick goodbye and Nat was gone.
