Chapter 2
Ned sighed. "What? Who was that?"
Nancy took a deep breath. "I don't know who that was. The voice sounded distorted. The only thing I know is that it was a woman. And- and she threatened me."
Ned's eyes were filled with concern. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her. "What did she say Nancy?" he asked quietly.
"She said that if I didn't want to get hurt, I would leave you alone." Nancy told him, leaving out that the voice had really said that she would kill her. "And that she was your one true love." She finished in a whisper.
"Oh Nan," Ned said. "I think we both know that isn't true. I love you and only you."
Nancy pulled away. "It's just that- well this is what I wanted to talk to you about. What happens if we can't make this relationship work? I mean we fought so much before over my detective work, and now I may have another case. It's the second one in the 3 weeks we've been back together. I can't be apart from you again, Ned."
Ned put his hand on Nancy's cheek. "And you never will have to be apart from me. Nan, I love you so much. I understand that you're going to be busy with the detective work; I'm going to be busy too. I have practice or a game almost every day since the season started." He said softly.
Nancy nodded. Ned was the quarterback of the Chicago Bears, and she knew that he was very busy. Still Nancy knew that she had to change, and she was willing to do it for Ned.
Ned leaned down to kiss her. When they pulled away he whispered, "I can't live without you. Everything's going to be okay."
Nancy wrapped her arms around him. She hopped he was right.

"Let's go Bears!!" Nancy screamed. It was the day after she had gotten the mysterious call, and so far, nothing else had been said. Nancy decided to take the chance to relax and have some fun while she could. Ned was starting as the quarterback, and Nancy could tell that he was the favorite among the fans. It's hard not to like Ned. Nancy thought to herself. There's nothing not to like. He's kind and friendly, nothing at all like most of the other players on the
team. She smiled. Nancy was so proud to be able to say that she was Ned Nickerson's girlfriend.
"YES!" The crowd yelled. Nancy grinned. Ned had just thrown the game winning touchdown, and the crowd was going wild. She ran down to the bench to greet Ned as he came off the field. Ned had gotten her special permission, as did many of the other players did for their family and friends.
Ned caught Nancy's eye and grinned. She smiled and blew a kiss to him. Ned grabbed some of his things and rushed over to Nancy before going into the locker room. He gently grabbed her by the waist and gave her a kiss on the lips.
"Sorry Drew, I just couldn't resist myself." He whispered.
Nancy gave him a quick peck. "I'm not complaining." She said playfully.
Ned chuckled and reluctantly let her go. "I better go. I'll swing by your house and pick you up for dinner. Oh, and if you don't mind, wear that blue silk dress that I love." He said with a twinkle in his eye.
Nancy grinned. "Only the best for you." She said teasingly. "See ya then hotshot."
They went their separate ways and Nancy couldn't help thinking how lucky she was to have Ned. Unfortunately, she didn't know what the next day would bring.
