After leading the boys to the guest room where they would be staying, Jane left them alone to unpack and sat on her white couch, holding the new, blue spoon in her hand. She couldn't help but smile as she ran her fingers across the smooth plastic. It was so nice of Jake to give a present to me. She thought, turning it over in her hand. I really wish there was a better way to properly thank him. I would ask Roxy for advice, but she'd probably tell me to give him a big kiss or something. That would be weird, kissing Jake, wouldn't it? Jane couldn't even bring herself to answer her own question. Just thinking about kissing Jake sent her heart in a frenzy.

A sudden scream set her straight, though. "Lalonde, get out of here!" Jake shouted. "And give me back my underwear!" It wasn't exactly what Jane wanted to hear, but this was her life. She sprang up from her seat and sprinted upstairs, only to find Roxy standing outside the boy's door, Jake's underwear on her head as a hat.

"It's gunna cost ya one smooch!" she told him, her words barely understandable. As Jane got closer, Jane noticed that his legs were bare and the only thing covering up the important parts was part of his shirt and his guns. Instantly, Jane turned away and covered her eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Jake! I didn't see a thing!" she exclaimed, her face going from a light pink to a deep red almost instantly. Jake looked down and noticed that he really had nothing on. Embarrassed, he covered himself up and glanced around in a panic.

"Oh, don't worry about it, Jane! We're-" But he cut himself off. What were they, exactly? They had to be a bit more than friends, but they weren't exactly in a relationship, either.

"Oh Jakey!" Roxy called in a sing-songy voice. Simultaneously, Jake and Jane turned to see Roxy using the beam of Jane's house as a stripper pole. "Now you have to watch me dance for your underpants back."

"Roxy!" Jane shouted, pulling her friend off the pole. "You are a guest in my home, and you are not respecting said home. Now please, give Jake his panties back!" After Jane shouted, silence rang throughout the home as Roxy and Jane stared each other down. It was rather awkward for Jake, who stood in the doorway to the guest room, and it was even more uncomfortable for Dick, who was watching all of this from behind.

Roxy eventually gave up the staring contest and reluctantly handed Jane the underpants. Jane pivoted around and held them out to Jake. Her blue eyes, filled with passion and determination, bore right into Jake's as she shoved the underpants into his hands. "Now please, unpack and make yourself decent." She commanded him and without an answer, she pushed Roxy in front of her to force her downstairs.

Jake was shocked and stood in the hallway like an idiot, staring at Jane as she left down the stairs. "And come down here when you're finished! We're going to have a good time, okay?" she shouted up at the two boys. "And we'll pretend none of this ever even happened!"

Jake nodded numbly, though he knew she couldn't see him. He turned back into the room and saw Dick with his arms crossed. Jake awkwardly redressed himself and avoided eye contact with Strider. As Jake made his way back over to his suitcase, Dick finally spoke. "You like her, don't you?"

Jake's head went straight up. "Like who?" he asked innocently. "I don't know you're talking about."

"Don't play dumb with me, English. Jane. You have a big old schoolgirl crush on Jane." Dick inquired.

Jake dropped the gun that he had been unpacking and froze, turning red. "I… I really don't know what you're talking about." He repeated nervously. "Jane and I are just simply friends, Strider; just friends."

Dick studied Jake for a moment before shrugging and turning away from him. "Well, whatever you say. If she really is just a friend, then you won't mind if I make a move on her."

Jake spun around, about to yell at Dick for even thinking about Jane like that, but then he stopped. Why would he care who Jane dated? They were only friends. "Yeah, go ahead. Better yet, I'll help you, buddy. I'll suggest a nice game of truth or dare, or even spin the bottle." Jake promised his friend. It sounded like a good idea, but Jake's stomach was turning into knots and he couldn't help but feel a bit upset. It was hard for Jake to understand what exactly he was feeling. He grew up mostly alone, and he had always cleverly avoided feelings. But now, his emotions were spiraling out of control and it made him feel so sick.

It really didn't take the boys long to unpack after that, since boys only packed what they needed and no more. When they went downstairs, they saw Jane and Roxy sitting on the couch, each eating a slice of cake. When Jane spotted them, she smiled broadly and waved them over. "We're just eating a snack, but then we can finally get this week long party started." She told them as she took another bite.

Jake watched Jane as she took dainty little bites, but then he quickly looked away, a small pout forming on his face. Suddenly, Jane sprung up from the couch and shoved a forkful of cake into his mouth. "Jake, if you wanted some cake, why didn't you let me know? There's no reason to pout!"

Jake was surprised and stared at her for a moment before processing what just happened. She only thought he was interested in her cake. He forced a smile and chewed the cake in his mouth. "Wow, this is actually really good." He complimented her.

"Want some more?" Jane asked, and Jake responded with a nod, expecting Jane to feed him another forkful. Unfortunately, Jane was a huge mood killer and all she did was shove the plate in his hand. "You can have the rest of this since I'm full." She told him and then she turned to Dick. "Did you want any, Di Strider?" Dick shook his head and Jane smiled at him. "Alright, how about we play a game of some sorts, unless that's not cool enough for you, Strider?" she offered, standing in the middle of her three friends.

After Jake swallowed another bite of cake, he spoke up. "We could play, uh, truth or dare." He offered and Jane turned to him. Jane tilted her head as she thought, and Jake was almost positive she wouldn't agree, until she smiled wider.

"That's a great idea! It will let us get to know each other a little better!"

Jake faked a smile and thought, She has no idea.
