Walking away Nat, turned the corner and ran into Schanke...

"Hey Nat you ok? You look a little tierd," looking over Nat's shoulder and seeing nick " maybe you should come back and sit down the ghost stories are getting nice and Spoookey now."

"That would be nice Schanke, but as you noticed I'm abit tierd and I think I should go home, it's late and I really need to rest my foot. I'm going to go say my good bye's it's been a lovely party thanks for having me here. "

"Well Nat I i'll give you a lift home we can finsh talking on the way."

"No Nick I came with Steve, and I'll Leave with Steve."

As Nat made her way down the hallway Schake, stepted in front of Nick, as Nick made to follow Nat. " Look Nick I dont know what you two were talking about, but you upset Nat. Just let her be."

Nick was speechless as he walked behind Schanke to the living room, seeing Steve putting on Nat's coat a low growel came from Nicks chest. As Steve and Nat left nick walked to the window to watch then get into Steve's car and drive off.

Outside of Nat's apartment Steve and Nat were sitting in the car talking about Schake's party.

"You know Nat I had a great time tonight, even the story show down with Nick was intreeting, I haven't had that much fun in a long time."

"I know what you mean Steve, it's been so long seince I'v felt like this. I feel alive agin for the longest time it's been all work and a few movie night's and one bad date that nearly killed me."

"Man oh Man that would put a damper on one's reason for not dateing much."

Nat starterd laughing looking at Steve," You sound like Schanke when you say that."

" Man that's scary, im only related to him though marriage it's contagius," fake sudders." Well at least I got you to laugh, here let's get you in to your apartment, you need rest and I want you to be tip top shape for this afternoon's outing."

"Oh, and what do you have planed for me, hmm?"

"You wil find out when we get there, it's a surprise, and dont panic Donny is the one who gave me the idea and info, so if you hate it blame him if you love it well then i take all credit."

Laughing Nat and Steve enter Nat's buliding unawere they were being watched from the rooftop across the street. 20 min later Steve leaves heading back to Schanke's house.

Inside Nat's apartment

"Well Syd, I had a great time tonight, I'm really starting to like Steve more and more as I spend time with him, I really want things to work out with him, I feel so alive i can walk on air, if my damm foot didn't hurt so much. I now wish Schanke had intoduced us years ago. I can't wait intill this afternoon for his surprise outing, oh Syd i feel like a teenager agin."

"I have one last thing to do before we go to bed little man."

"Meow", Puuurrrrrr.

"I know Nick well enough he will try to talk to me more tonight, and i dont want to talk with him so this should do the trick. Putting this note in the window, locking windows and door's turning off the ringer on phone, now we are ready to go to bed come on little man, sweet dreams await us tonight and a whole new day ahead of us once we wake."

Outside Nats apartment window around 1am, 2 figuers read the note taped to the window, giving each other knowing looks they fly off into the night.

Later on a lone figuer comes by to try and talk but as he reads the note pined to the window his anger just burns,thinking to himself "how dare she think she can dismiss me like this", as for the other man that thinks he can take what is his and get away with it, well he has another thing coming.
