Alex: I own characters like Raven, Xander, Jake, etc.

Raven, 3rd granddaughter

Raven Matthews sighed, she was a teenager and no teenage girl liked staying late to help some hopeful ghost hunter train…..at least Raven thought so considering she was the only one of her cousins that did this.

Ravens straightened her blonde hair as she kicked her feet waiting on the guy. She looked at the file name for the cadet she was waiting and read out the name, "Alexander Thomas Wyatt?"

"Call me Xander."

Raven yelped as she looked up to see a very gorgeous looking young man with red hair and blue eyes.

Xander looked at Raven surprised, "I thought I was meeting Josh or Jake?"

Raven recovered quickly and looked offended, "Josh is tired and Jake is sick. Got a problem with that?"

"No. Of course not, Ms. Matthews," Xander replied smiling, "I much prefer you to your brothers. No offense but you're much nicer to look at. Might get a little distracted during the lesson though."

Raven blushed as she looked back at his file again, "Well, Mr. Wyatt, says you want to work on blaster training."

Xander nodded, "I honestly suck at it. Which isn't good since that's how most I most ghost hunters fight."

Giggling Raven set up the targets, "Don't feel too bad. Not all my family is amazing with shooting as people think. I know for a fact that my poor cousin Jameson couldn't hit a ghost two feet away from him."

Raising his eyebrow Xander asked, "isn't he the one that….."

"Dances when he fights?" Raven supplied, "Yeah. But believe it or not it works."

"I see," Xander laughed as he pulled out his blaster, "So shall we start?"

"Sure," Raven replied as she picked up the blaster she had brought, "Let's see what you got."

…

2 hours later….

Raven phased thru the front door smiling as she skipped inside and headed for the kitchen saw Jake sitting at the kitchen table eating what looked to be some cub scouts' soup, "Hello Jake!"

Jake stared at his sister amused, "So what's his name?"

"Wha-What?!" Raven blurted looking shock at her laughing brother, "What do you mean?"

"You've been with a guy," Jake explained simply, "One you're happy, that rarely happens."

"That's not-"

"Two, Josh told me you took over for him for private training."

"So, that's just-"

"Three," Jake smiled as he stood up and put his dishes in the sink, "You have a hicky on your neck."

Raven blushed rushing into the bathroom to see that she did indeed have bright red hicky on her neck.

Jake popped his head in to add, "Cover up should well cover it up but may I suggest collar shirts too for the next few days."

Swatting her brother away Raven snapped back, "No telling Josh or dad they would freak not to mention- wait, why aren't you freaking out?"

"Oh, well Xander asked me before asking you out," Jake explained earning a look from Raven, "Well, I am a bit more reasonable and approachable than Josh or Dad. He's been trying to catch you alone for weeks. He was about two days away from faking a ghost attack to get you there to ask you out."

"Wait, you knew…." Raven complained then she realized, "You weren't sick today! You knew if you stayed how Josh would have to work late and get tired and I would offer to help him!"

Jake smiled evilly, "What are you complaining about? You got a hot guy now. Who just happens to be my friend Xander plus you actually did teach him to shoot a blaster right?"

Raven blushed, "I knew I forgot something!"

Alex: Review and thanks.
