The morning was cold when the kids arrived at school the next day. They quickly made their way inside where posters promoting the upcoming dance greeted them. It was guys ask girls and, Taylor just knew Tony would be after her. She sighed as she followed her brother and Sammie to their lockers. Sure enough, there was Tony leaning casually on her locker with a rose in hand. Sighing once more Taylor put on her best smile as she neared him. Ever the dramatic one Tony presented her with the rose before dropping to one knee.

"Taylor Diana Rogers, would you grant me the honor of being my date to the dance?" he asked hopefully.

Taylor hated this. Tony would never give up it seemed.

"I'm sorry Tony but I actually wasn't planning on going to the dance," Taylor admitted truthfully.

Tony's face fell as he stood up his tail between his legs.

"I'm sorry Tony," Taylor apologized.

"Whatever," Tony mumbled as he walked away.

Taylor did feel bad but Tony refused to take no for an answer. Shoving unnecessary books into her locker Taylor slammed the door and resumed her walk to class. Upon entering the classroom she took a seat behind Jackie who was eagerly reading her textbook. Taylor turned her focus to her notebook and tried her best to ignore the defeated looking werecat nearby. She looked up when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Turning she saw it was Nerissa trying to get her attention.

"Hey, don't feel bad Taylor," she said offering her friend a warm smile.

"He just won't take a hint,"

"Sounds desperate," Nerissa chuckled.

"He is," Jackie whispered interjecting into the conversation.

"Shush he'll hear you," Taylor cried.

"It's the truth," Jackie replied.

"I don't care it's not nice to say something like that," Taylor scolded her friends.

"You sound like your mother," Jackie said.

"Why thank you," Taylor replied with a happy smile.

Later during her free period, Taylor was spending some time in Christina's old hiding place. Currently, she was curled up in a beanbag sketching. She looked up when someone else entered the room. Tyler had entered the room.

"Hey, Tyler what's up?" she asked closing her sketchbook and tossing it aside.

"I was uh, looking for you," Tyler replied sitting down beside her.

"Oh, really why?" Taylor asked.

"I had uh, something important to ask you," Tyler admitted sheepishly.

"What is it?"

"Would you go to the dance with me?"

"Oh, well, I'm sorry Tyler but I actually wasn't going to go to the dance," Taylor replied worried that she'd upset her friend.

"That's okay but um, well, I'd still like to go on a-a date with you,"

"Wait, Really?"

"Yeah if you'd like too,"

"I'd love to,"

When the bell rang the two teens left to go to their next class. As they walked down the hall their fingers intertwined which caught the attention of a lurking werecat nearby. Tony turned from the astounding sight with a scowl on his face.

"You'll regret this Tyler," he growled as he stalked off to his next class.

When the kids got home Christina was sprawled out on the couch shoving food into her mouth at a speed that could rival Shaggy.

"Hey, Mom," they greeted.

"Mmm"

"Aww, she ate the ice cream!" Malcolm whined.

"I'm pregnant just deal with it," Christina ordered through her mouthful of food.

"She's right you just gotta deal with it," Shaggy Jr laughed.

"Mom you'll never believe this!" Taylor cried.

"What?"

"Tyler asked me on a date!"

"That's great honey,"

"I better go get ready,"

"Okay,"
