.:Chapter 4:.

---------------------------------------------

Moze had just finished showering and so she walked out of her bathroom after blow-drying her hair. She walked downstairs to find Ned watching TV in her living room.

She smiled and walked over to sit next to him.

"Ned." She said to him as she watched him face the TV. He was completely wrapped up in the basketball game going on.

"Ned!" She said louder as she brought his shoulders to face toward her.

He began fidgetting as he tried to look at the TV and Moze at the same time. "What?" He said pretending to be interested in what she was going to say.

"Don't you have anything better to do on a Saturday, then raid my fridge, steal my coke, and watch basketball on my TV?" She said getting a sip of his beverage.

"Okay, technically, this is a pepsi. Give me that." He said as he grabbed the drink from her. "And they're up by 8." He said pointing to the TV.

"No way." She said, impressed.

She watched Ned as he became oblivous to everything around him but the TV. She was glad he was so into the game because he would've seen her staring at him.

Maybe Ned had been too embarassed to kiss her. After all, it is Ned. Maybe she needed to give him another chance.

"Jennifer?" Mrs. Moseley said as she came in. "Oh, hey Ned."

"Hey Auntie Em." Ned said. Mrs. Moseley always laughed when Ned calls her a fictional character from The Wizard Of Oz.

Mrs. Moseley turned back to Moze.

"Jen. We're supposed to go to your aunt's formal birthday dinner remember? Just me and you? You're supposed to where that dress."

"That was today?" Moze panicked.

"Of course. Maybe Ned could come." She winked as she walked into the kitchen.

Ned turned to look at Moze who had her puppy face.

"No way. I'm not wearing my tux." He shook his head.

"Please." She said in her cutest voice. "I have to wear a dress. And if you don't, I'm gonna tell everyone how you freaked out after watching Gremlins."

"Hey, That's not fair. You know that tiny scary creatures freak me out." He said expressively using his arms.

"Whatever, but you are coming to that party whether you like it or not." She said as she pulled onto his ear and walked towards her front door.

"Now go home and put your tux on." She said as Ned constantly cried, "Ow! Ow! Ow!" in a rapid sense. She pushed him out to the porch and shut the door.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Ned quickly put his tux on and held onto the rose he took from Moze's backyard. He looked out his window to watch Moze run around her room looking for her other heel. His house, which was on the right side of Mozes, was a two-story house just like Mozes. Coincidentally, they had gotten the room whose windows faced each others. Ned opened his window and jumped onto the tree that connected his window to hers.

Clothes flew everywhere as Moze tried to find her lost shoe. Then she heard a loud thud coming from her window followed by a "Crap!". She smiled because she knew who it was. Who else could be climbing through her window?

She turned around to find Ned scrambling to get up off the floor. She laughed.

Ned stood up and brushed his tux his hand. The other hand he extended toward Moze.

"Why thank you?" She smiled as she took the rose from him and smelled it. Then she threw the rose onto her bed.

"Gosh Ned. Look at you. You're a mess. You didn't even button all the way up." She said as she beckoned for him to come towards her.

She looks beautiful. Ned thought to himself as she buttoned his polo and fixed his collar.

"Looking for this?" Mrs. Moseley said as she entered Moze's room.

"Yes! Thank's Mom." She said as she sat down on her bed to put on her high heel.

"Wow Ned. You look handsome." She said as Ned blushed.

"Mom!" Moze whined as she blushed a bit herself.

"Why thank you Mrs. Moseley. And thank you for inviting me to this occasion so that I may come and dine with you and your beautiful daughter." He winked at Moze which made her even blush more.

Gosh Ned. She thought, hoping Ned wouldn't notice that she was blushing.

"Let's go." She said standing up and grabbing onto Ned's arm which he extended out for her to hold onto as they walked to the car.
