This is a bit new to me, considering I mostly only write Avatar fan fiction, but here goes!
(Characters still in 8th) Editing time! Yay!

Disclaimer: Do I really have to go through this?
For probably the first time in her life, Moze didn't know the answer. She was dating Faymen, and the thing with Ned was only to get Missy away from him. Yes. There's nothing wrong.
"Hey, Moze, wanna watch a movie with Cookie and I tonight?" Ned asked, one Friday morning.
"That depends on the movie, because I'm not watching some horror film." Moze said.
"Well, what about Sci-Fi?" Cookie asked.
"You know I don't like Sci-Fi." Moze sighed.
Ned thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, we'll make a deal. If we watch a Sci-Fi/ horror movie tonight, we'll watch whatever movie you want next Friday."
"Okay, fine. You guys get to watch Pride and Prejudice!" Moze smiled.
Cookie and Ned flinched at the thought of having to watch some romance movie.
"Yeah, well we're watching Alien Vs. Predator tonight!" Cookie huffed.
Moze shuddered, but nodded her head as the bell ring.
"Well, we should probably get to class." Moze said.
"Health." Ned sighed. He still didn't enjoy the class very much.
--
"Okay class! Today we're going to talk about Cigarettes, and why you shouldn't smoke." Mr. Monroe said, clapping his hands. "Now, to start off, I thought we could make slogans about why smoking is bad. There's paper and markers over on the counter."
"This shouldn't be to hard." Ned said, getting paper and markers.
"Okay. . . I've got it; Why smoke when you can just stand in front of a moving car? Either way, it will still hurt." Moze said, proudly.
"That sounds painful." Cookie said. "How about; Smoking? You must be Joking?"
Moze rolled her eyes.
"Wait, what about; Start Smoking, Start Croaking." Ned smiled his usual goofy smile.
"Better than Cookie's." Moze laughed.
"Hey! I worked long and hard on mine!" Cookie mockingly snapped.
"Yeah, for like 30 seconds." Moze stated.
"What about yours? You came up with it right away." Ned pointed out.
"Guys, calm down, it's just a silly slogan for health class. If you're going to act so immature, then I guess I won't watch movies with you anymore."
"Hold on, speaking of movies, how come you and Faymen aren't doing anything tonight?" Cookie asked.
Oh, h-he's visiting h-his grandmother. She's apparently very sick." Moze stuttered. She was still uneasy about Faymen and Ned.
Cookie nodded, and continued on his work.

It was lunch time, and the lunch lady had gone a bit over board this time.
"Yellow Meal?" Ned gagged as he read the sign in the cafeteria.
"Corn, Mash Potatoes, and Chicken Nuggets. Yup, it's all yellow." Cookie said.
"Well, at least you'll be able to get your fortune told." Moze said, as she got in the lunch line.
"Hmm. . . I see a new love in your corn. But don't you already got a boyfriend?" The lunch lady said, sifting the spoon through the yellow.
Moze blushed feverishly, and nodded. She didn't want to admit it, but her and Faymen were a bit rocky ever since Ned asked her to be his fake girlfriend.
"Why hello Ned! Let's see what your corn says today. . . Ahh, I see love in yours too."
Ned looked at her, highly confused.
"Moze had the same thing." She said, reading the look on his face.
Ned nodded slowly, and looked over at Moze sitting at the lunch table with Coconut Head and Cookie. He wondered what his corn meant, and whether it had any connection to Moze, but pushed the thought to the back of his mind. He had more important things to think about- well, not really more important, but more interesting.

The rest of the afternoon went on as usual. Well, for the most part.
"Evelyn, for the 10th time, I will not go out with you tonight! I already have plans!" Cookie yelled.
"Oh yes you will!" She shouted back.
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Aha! So you will go on a date with me tonight." Evelyn exclaimed in success.
"Noooo!" Cookie moaned, falling on all fours to the floor.
"Cookie what's wrong?" Ned asked his friend, as they were on the bus.
"I have to go on a date with Evelyn!" He cried.
Ned and Moze laughed as they sat together in the seat across from him.
"Looks like you won't be watching the movie with us tonight."
"My life is ruined!" Cookie sulked, burring his head into his hands.
--
"I feel bad for Cookie. Alien Vs. Predator is his favorite movie." Ned laughed, as he and Moze were sitting on the couch in his living room.
"Remind me why I'm watching this movie?" Moze asked, in a complaining sort of tone.
"Because you're also making Cookie and I watch Pride and Prejudice." Ned sighed.
Moze smiled and said, "Oh you are just going to love it!"
"Yes, well, we're watching scary aliens tonight."
Moze sighed, as Ned started up the movie.
For a horror Sci-Fi movie, there was quite a lot of blushing going on, mostly on Ned's part. During the really creepy and gory parts, Moze buried her face in Ned's shoulder. It was like those fabric freshener commercials, where the person keeps their face up to the clothing or towel, just to smell it.
Well, even if Moze was just cuddling up to him because she was scarred, Ned had to admit that he enjoyed it.
He wasn't the only one. Moze kind of like leaning her head on Ned's shoulder, even if she was only doing it as to not watch what was going on in the movie. It was comforting, to have your best friend there during a scary and creepy movie.
Towards the ending of the movie, Ned noticed that Moze's head didn't lift up as it usually did after gory parts. He looked over and saw that she had fallen asleep. Ned contemplated on whether or not he should turn the movie off and let her sleep. He decided to only turn down the volume, since at least she didn't have to watch all of it.
"Ned, it's already 10:30, is the movie over yet?" Mrs. Bigby asked, walking into the living room.
"Shhhh." Ned whispered, pointing to Moze.
Mrs. Bigby smiled, and quietly walked off.
It was about 11:15 when the movie ended, and Ned had to wake Moze up.
"Moze. Moze, wake up." Ned whispered, gently shaking her.
"Scary alien!" A sleepy Moze exclaimed, slowly lifting her head up.
"No, you fell asleep about 45 minutes ago. The movie's over" Ned said, chuckling.
Moze regained herself, and sat up. She blushed heavily when she realized that she had fallen asleep on Ned, but pushed it aside.
"W-well, I guess I should probably go h-home." She said, trying to hold back a yawn.
"Let me go tell my mom that I'm walking you home." Ned said, going up to his parents' room.
Moze got up from the couch, and thought about what Faymen would do if he found out what happened. She shivered, and got her jacket on. They were only friends, but still thought best if Faymen didn't know.
"Okay, let's go." Ned said, as he met up with Moze by the front door.
Moze lived on the street next to Ned's, and Cookie lived on the street that was on the other side of Ned's. When they were younger, they would all go to the park that was right in the middle of their neighborhood.
Ned and Moze walked in silence, apart from the crickets and the other nocturnal animals. They walked past the park, the empty swings swaying in the soft wind, and then down the road to Moze's house.
"So, I'll se you on Monday, I guess." Ned said quietly, and they reached her house.
"Yeah."
It was a bit awkward for them, like a first date or something of the sort. That's what it felt like, since Cookie was stuck with Evelyn and it was just the two of them.
A small part of Ned wanted him to kiss Moze, or at least hug her, but all he did was wave as she walked inside of her house.
Apparently Ned didn't know the answer, either.
Wow, that was quite long. I would very much appreciate if I could get some reviews, so I know whether or not this story is good. Criticism would be good too, since this is my first fan fiction that is not about a bald monk with a blue arrow on his forehead. :-D
Ahh, much better! Don't you just love edits? I'll try and edit at least two chapters tomorrow, I want to get this done quickly so I can work on the leuqes.
