Authors note: Hey guys I am so sorry it took a while to update, but I'm here now, so I wanted to thank Neon-Night-Light for saying such really nice thing about my story and having such an awesome story herself! Oh and P.S. reviews make my day!

Oh and I don't mean to make anyone here feel stupid, but I used the word 'frequently' in this, and I just wanted to say, it means 'often', just in case you didn't know! :) Love you guys! 3

After Mandie and her friends caught up since the last time they had seen each other, everybody decided it was time for bed because they all had to get up early in the morning for Sally, Uncle Ned, and Morning Star.

"You know Celia," Mandie was telling her friend as they took off their corsets and prepared for bed. "I think Jonathan might like you in a different way then his other friends."

"What are you trying to say, Mandie?" Celia asked sharply as she quickly looked up at her blond friend.

"I think you know, did you see the way he was staring at you the entire night?" Mandie teased as she dramatically swayed around the room.

"Oh Mandie, is your own love life so jacked up that you have to mess into everyone elses?" Celia practically yelled at her dumbstruck friend as she stomped off into the bathroom and slammed the door. Mandie just stared at the bathroom door and wondered what had happened to her friend.

"Celia, are you okay?" Mandie asked as she knocked on the bathroom door. The door quickly opened and Celia rushed out to hug Amanda.

"Oh Mandie I am so sorry!" She cried out to Mandie, as she held on to her.

"Celia it's alright, do you want to talk about it?" Mandie asked her friend and patted her on the back.

"It's just that the last time we saw Jonathan I suddenly saw him in a different light than I ever had before." Celia tried to explain.

"Well, it seems to me that the best relationships-the ones that last- are frequently the ones rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at a person and you see something more than you did before, like a switch has been flicked somewhere, and the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you could ever imagine yourself with." Mandie said, surprised she was comparing herself and Joe to that quote.

"Is that how it was with you and Joe?" Celia asked after thinking about it.

"W-well, um... I-I-I uh, um maybe, no-no n-no I-I don't... um I don't think so, w-we-We're just friends." Mandie said and then wondered why it was so hard to say it.

"Oh Mandie," Celia started. "You can admit it, to your friend you know."

"There is nothing to admit." Mandie mumbled and laid down on the bed. Celia jumped up to bed and laid down next to her friend to face her.

"Oh don't forget, I want to know about the big first kiss!" Celia said, and smiled as she saw Mandie blush.

"Well, okay here it goes...

Authors note: I'm so sorry about the shortness, but I just thought that the next part needed a chapter of its own.

Thank you for reading! (and reviewing)
