Sitting at her usual table at the Surf Spot, Ashley occasionally looked up from her Business Calculus Textbook, her attention focused to one particular spot in the Surf Spot. It wasn't because she was bored of studying; it was because her mind kept wandering away.

"Hey girl, it looks like you need a study break."

Without looking up, Ashley recognized that cheerful voice anywhere. "Hey Cassie."

"Here, I got you a Strawberry Melon Smoothie."

Cassie put the drink down and smiled at her best friend. "We both know that you're not studying Calculus here."

Ashley sighed, taking a sip from her smoothie. "Is it that obvious?"

Cassie rolled her eyes and smirked. "Why don't you do something about it? It's so obvious Ashley."

"But I barely know him!"

"Who are you trying to convince? Me or you? Weren't you the one who pushed me out of the way when he showed himself the first time?"

Ashley giggled at that particular memory. It was back when Andros saved them from Astronema and it was the first time she fallen for a guy.

If she knew guys like him existed in outer space, she would have gone into space a long time ago.

"At least he's not an alien."

The girls giggled.

"But…" Cassie turned her head, looking at the pool table. "He is a stranger to Earth Customs."

Ashley smiled. "That's alright; I can show him the wonderful things that we can do on Earth."

Cassie watched her friend turn her head, her attention focused on the guy attempting to play pool. She could see it in her eyes, the gaze that a person gets when they have fallen for someone. "Go over there Ashley. He's not going to bite."

Ashley bit her lip, hesitating and debating. "Are you sure about this? He looks somewhat busy. Maybe I should come back another time."

"Ashley. Have you seen the man?" Cassie pointed at Andros. "He's trying to use the pool stick like a baseball bat. If that doesn't look like a sign for help, then I don't know what is."

"Maybe your right…"

Cassie nodded her head. "Of course I'm right. Have I ever led you down the wrong path?"

"No…"

"Then what are you waiting for? Go on girl! Get going! You got a man to catch!"

Backed up with words of encouragement, Ashley got up from her table and started walking over. She turned her head back one more time and saw Cassie giving her a thumbs up.

'Here goes nothing.' Ashley thought as she approached the pool table. "Hey Andros…"

Cassie smiled as she watched Ashley from the table. "All you needed was some guidance towards the right path." She said to herself. "Besides, what kind of friend would I be if I passed up this matchmaking opportunity?"

So many different kinds of scenarios, so little time. Enjoy.
