Dear Oracle,
I have a secret.
Well, everyone has a secret. And while yours might be more extensive, mine's still as potentially damaging.
See, I have this friend.
Okay, I have this amazing friend, but friend none the less.
But that's not the problem. The problem is that this friend of mine I've known for years. Since forever it seems. They just got this really great opportunity to fulfill their biggest dream. And while it's great and I feel really happy for them, it's tearing me apart at the seams!
I don't see them as often anymore. Granted we're both busy with school, but not even weekends seem enough to get a normal dosage of friend time in.
It also doesn't help that I have this amazingly huge crush on them. They don't notice of course. But I think that's because we've both been trying to ignore it. Like it's not there or it's just left-over feelings from our freshman year of high school.
But I don't think it is.
They know I've liked someone else for really long time. And while I'm sure that I realized chasing an ideal was pointless years ago, it seems like some routine I can't break that I constantly run to their side at the slightest inclination help is needed. I can tell you, that inclination has gotten all of us out more than a few spots of trouble.
But I still can't seem to get this through. They're stubborn as a mule and bribes will only get me so far. I've tried asking them out on multiple occasions, but as "heroic" as I'm called, I'm anything but. Just a shy, small town guy trying to ask out a big city gal.
Any advice?

Dear Superman,
Pick her up at 7 on Saturday. She seems to be the kind to enjoy a trip to see a movie. "The Last Mimzy" looks promising, take her to see that. Or even "Happy Feet." That's still playing at the uptown theater.
Might I dare to suggest Chinese before:O
Glad You're No So Clueless Anymore,
Oracle
P.S. – Next time you might just want to ask her out face-to-face. I'm sure she'd like that. Or even a text message. Just something that doesn't take her 3 days to get her reply out. ;)

A/N: I know. Really shouldn't be writing at almost 4 in the morning...oh wait, that clock's wrong. It's almost 5 in the morning. My bad. I know that Chloe's "Justice nickname" is Watchtower, but hey, it's a newspaper. Plus, this takes place after Episode 125: Freak, with the exception that I didn't have Chloe get back together with Jimmy at the end of 124. Trespass. And 126. Promise is airing tonight (3/15/07) and I don't plan to watch it. XD Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!
