A/N: Hi! It's me! The weirdo who leaves fics unattended and still continues to create new ones! However, I ALREADY have most of this written out, so I won't leave you. (Except for a possible Internet-Connection-related hiatus next week you would know about if you had read the summary.)

Annyyyway, this is a fic about happy, fluffy moments Finn remembered after he fought with Amanda in the fifth book. Since there's 96 days left for Dark Passage, and 32 memories, I will update this every three days. Hope you enjoy! :3

DISCLAIMER: I am not Ridley Pearson, The Kingdom Keepers series does not belong to me.

Finn Whitman stood in a corner of his school's gymnasium wearing uncomfortable fancy clothes and trying to not look as awkward as he felt. His best friend Dillard had left early, and his other best friend, Amanda Lockhart, hadn't even come, leaving him alone in a terrifying Middle School Dance.

His last Middle School Dance.

Finally.

Just one hour or so more, and he could ditch this place altogether. 'Graduation Dance' was the last bad idea this school had presented to him.

Finn listened to the lyrics of the song playing, pretending to be very busy drinking water, thinking about how weird school dances are. Girls and guys mashed together pretending to have a ridiculous amount of fun. Maybe pretending was the real fun.

He felt someone tapping his shoulder, and he turned around, hoping it wasn't some Disney freak off to make him dance.

"So, what's up?" Amanda said, walking to his side and resting her arm on his shoulder, not even saying hi.

"Oh, you know, just counting down the minutes to leave this hell, hoping the other hell doesn't come that soon." Finn said, pretending to not be kinda-very-happy about her appearance and to not kinda-very-much notice how good the dress she had on looked on her.

Amanda snorted, taking her shoulder down. "Yeah, right. You and I both know you're oh-so-excited about being a high schooler."

Finn laughed sarcastically at her teasing.

"More teachers to hate me, Greg entering my same school, more guys to laugh at my skinny butt, even worse food, and more work? Yup, I'm excited."

"And yet, you'll meet girls and have me to save you from Greg," She remarked, eyebrows raised, a smirk on her face.

Finn sighed.

"Ugh, that's true. I'll have to deal with you, too." He said, trying very hard not to smile.

Amanda opened her mouth, pretending to be insulted.

"Lawrence, that sent a knife to my heart!" She said, taking a hand to said-organ.

Finn laughed.

"Besides," Amanda said, making her face into a mix of innocence and delight, "You know you love me."

"You're ridiculous." Finn rolled his eyes.

"Well, do you love that about me, then?"

Finn looked at her, a slight smile on his face. "More than anything."

They both laughed, even though Finn's eyes had been a tad too honest when saying that.

"Come on, let's go dance." Amanda said, gesturing towards the dance floor.

Finn followed.

A/N: So, as you can see, the memories will be short&sweet. See you in three days! (If I have Internet Connection!)
