B notices that Niles wasn't acting himself. He did less work then usual. B thinks to himself. That break up that Fran told me about, is that why he's been acting so strange? I know that it has to do with Ms Babcock. Why he likes her, I'll never know. I have to get them away from us, and then maybe they will admit to each other that they care. A trip of some short, that sounds like them, a cruse maybe? Dad will never go for it.

He shook his head. He thought of Fran, Maybe she could help me. He sighs, as he sits down at his computer. She always has the best ideas of getting people together. He checked his e-mail. He got something from his friend Ryan. He wanted B to skip class tomorrow and meet him at the park. From there they were to meet up with Tim and Kerry to go to the movies.

"That sounds like fun. I think I will go."

"Go where?" Max showed up in his room.

"uh...um…Just to hang out after school with some friends." B faced his dad. Hoping that he didn't read the e-mail.

"Oh," Max turned and went out.

"Dad," B got up and followed him. "Did you need something?"

"I was looking for Miss Fine. I thought she might be with you."

"She was down stairs last I saw."

B sat at the park talking to his friends, Ryan, Kerry and Tim, who finally agreed on a movie. B was watching with his binoculars when who did he see. Ms. Babcock. B's mind: Where's she going at a time like this? She starts to walk into the travel agency. "I wish I could hear what she saying in there."

"Who? The blonde." Ryan responded. B didn't notice that he said that out loud.

"Yeah,"

Ryan stands up. "My grandparents own a boat that the agency rents out. I'll go in and see what she's up too." He looked at B "and before you ask. I'll do this one for free." Ryan crosses the street and enters the travel agency. B sits there watching him though the binoculars.

"What's taken him so long? We need to get going if we are to go to the movies." Kerry questioned a little annoyed.

"Yeah B, I don't like to be late." Tim announced as he started to get up.

"He'll be back. Just give him five more minutes." B whined to his friends.

"Then we leave with or without you guys." Kerry commented. Five minutes pass and still no Ryan.

"We are out of here." Kerry called.

"Yep. Five minutes have passed." Tim said eyeing Kerry.

"Sorry," both boys walked off, leaving B by himself.

"Wait," B yells at them. To late the boys turn the corner. B sighed a deep sigh. How could his friends just get up and leave him? Some friends they were. Finally Ryan showed back up.

"She's taken a cruse in about two weeks. She signed up for my grandparents boat. She said that that is the best thing for her to get away. Something about a man that wanted to get to close to her." He looked around then at B. "Where did Tim and Kerry go?"

"To the movies. They left us here." Ryan looked down at his watch. "Wow. It's that time already. I'm sorry…I got to talking and…."

"It's ok Ryan." B mention for him to sit down on the bench. "This is more important."

"What is, getting a blonde's cruse info?"

"Not just any blonde…." B told Ryan his whole plan.

"I don't know B we could get into major trouble for this."

"I will…I will take the hole blame for it. Please."

"I'll see what I can do."

"Wait till I e-mail you."

"Right."
