Okie doke, sorry it took me awhile, but the school computers have been all stupid and yeah…and it's Friday! Even though my stomach hurts, I'm here to type this chapter….I don't have any reviews to answer because in my stupidity I CLEANED OUT MY MAIL BOX and don't know clearly who reviewed and who didn't! But I do know that someone asked why Bryanna called me Mrt, and I will tell you why: Because someone left the "I" out of my name, leaving me as Ern, and then when it was written in Dragon Script, it looked like Mrt. Hence. We're gonna go right into this chap, so my fingers don't fall off from typing! P.S., DARK IS IN THIS CHAPTER! Enjoy! --Dark's Angel

Chapter 4

"Is it midnight yet?" Erin asked for the twelfth time that night, bouncing impatiently on the trampoline and pulling at her skirt. She was so set on waiting outside for Dark that she had forgotten to change out of her school uniform, and considering she hated skirts that was saying something about her patience.

"I don't know, Erin…Why don't you just add THREE MINUTES onto the last time you asked me?" Bryanna shouted angrily, glaring at her hyper friend. Erin whimpered slightly, sounding a bit pathetic.

"But…but…" She cried. "I don't remember what time it was three minutes ago!"

"Well you're gonna hafta deal!" Bryanna exclaimed, starting to bounce on her own side of the trampoline. "I'm not running back inside again to check the time; do it yourself!" She finished, folding her arms.

"DONG!" Danielle shouted, lurching upwards at the bouncing. "Someone's trying to get some sleep here!" She growled.

"Oh, come on Dani. You know that's impossible with Erin around!" Bryanna pointed out.

"You're right…" Dani admitted. "Bryanna plus Erin, plus large bouncy object, plus sleep, plus me, equals NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!" She lay back down again, but was lurched back up by Erin and Bryanna both. "GRR YOU!" She screamed.

Bryanna started laughing. "You know, I wonder if our neighbors hate us yet…" She wondered aloud, stroking her imaginary beard.

"Probably," Erin said with a shrug, "but it's not like I care…they're your neighbors, not mine." She stood up and spread her arms out like the sleep-deprived psychotic person she was. "HURRY UP, DARK, MY LOVE!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Erin, shut up!" Bryanna shouted at her, smacking her in the back of the head. "You might not care about our neighbors, but I do!"

"OW!" Erin whined, rubbing her head. "It's not like Dark can hear me or anything!" She muttered in fake anger. Then from behind her came the sound of wind whistling through feathers and boots colliding with soft grass.

"You called?" A charming, familiar male voice said casually. Erin froze as her eyes widened in disbelief, her every brain cell yelling at her to turn around, but she refused to.

"Erin," Bryanna said in a teasing way, "It's your love! Turn around!"

"I dun wanna…" Erin argued quietly. "If I do, he might disappear!" She pointed out.

"Heh," the voice began, "nice skirt."

That got her attention. She turned on her heel and instinctively slapped the boy across the face, soon squealing in her mind for doing so when she saw the amethyst eyes belonging to none other than Dark Mousy.

"Oh my gosh," She squeaked quietly. "I'm sorry, I'm soooooo sorry!" Dark chuckled lightly, waving it off.

"S'okay; I get that a lot." He assured.

"But…you…you're…" She squealed rather loudly and threw her arms around his neck, hugging him and in the process knocking him over backwards. She failed to notice the compromising position they were in, as well as the fact that her skirt had come up a bit too far. "You're Dark! DARK-SAMA! This is soooooo great; I never thought I'd meet you! But here you are! EEEEEEEEE!" She rambled on and on, nuzzling his chest.

"Er…Erin…" Bryanna began. "He's turning blue…you're choking the poor guy…"

"Wait, no, he's purple!" Dani cut in.

"Okay, that's getting a bit too dark to really be safe…" Bryanna continued.

"Erin, ERIN, HE'S TURNING BLACK! He has no oxygen; if you don't let go, there will BE no Dark!" Dani yelled over Erin's squeals. Erin quickly loosened her grip.

"Oh-em-gee, I'm soooooo sorry!" She apologized frantically. Dark couldn't help but laugh again as he caught his breath.

"It's ok, trust me!" He promised, also not caring about the position they were in.

"Oh brilliant…" Bryanna muttered, holding out a hand and catching a few drops of water as they fell from the clouded night overhead. "It's raining…We should go inside."

"Hmm…You guys don't mind if I hang with you three till the storm's over, do ya?" Dark asked, smiling at Erin. She squealed again, nuzzling into his trench coat.

"Of course we don't mind!"

"Hey Mrt," Bryanna giggled as she got off the trampoline. "Ya might wanna fix your skirt…It's….umm….kinda revealing." Erin blinked.

"Meep?" She asked, glancing at Dark. He smirked, an incredibly mischievous glint in his dark amethyst eyes.

"What can I say…I like the donuts and coffee." He admitted. She squeaked and scrambled to get off him, pulling down her skirt and blushing madly.

"Alright you two, let's get inside." Bryanna laughed, heading for the door. Erin smiled, letting Dark get up before clinging to him again.

"Yay! Let's go inside and not have hot, sticky sex!" She suggested, once again nuzzling against him.

"Hey," Bry interrupted. "You guys are NOT doing that in my house!" She exclaimed. "Go to your house to do that!" Erin pouted.

"Well can we at least snog? Just gimme a number that we can get up to!" (Snogging scale wanted? Contact the author.)

"Hmm…A number, huh? How about…I don't know…how about five or six?" She suggested. Erin paused.

"Yay, six!" She agreed, hugging Dark yet again. "C'mon, let's go!" She urged. The Phantom Thief raised a brow.

"Six? For what?" He inquired, that same hint of mischief in his voice.

"Not important, tell ya later." Erin assured, taking his arm and pulling him inside with her to escape the rain that was now coming down in sheets.

Later…..

"Sleeping on the trampoline…BRILLIANT idea." Erin mocked, trudging into Danielle's room with a towel over her head. She finished drying her hair and unbuttoned the jeans she'd changed into. "It's too warm in here…You two are girls; you don't care if I take off my pants, right?"

"No, go ahead." Bryanna nodded. "And for the record, it was your idea to sleep on the trampoline. If you recall, I was objecting." She pointed out.

"And I had no say whatsoever!" Danielle added.

"Oh, wah, it was fun and you know it! Can't really remember why we did it, but…it was still fun." Erin shrugged, sliding her jeans off her hips and down her legs, and stepping out of them.

Bryanna, sitting on the bottom bunk with Danielle, hugged Wiz tightly. "Wiz is so cute!" She cooed, before stopping. Her smile slid into a look of disbelief. "Wait a second….Wiz?" She asked, glancing at the rabbit. "Where there's Wiz, there's….Dark…." Erin's eyes widened and she glanced up to the top bunk, where Dark lay (shirtless) staring back at her with a rather hentai smirk on his lips. She scrambled under the covers on the bottom bunk.

"Why didn't you say anything?" She yelled. Dark chuckled, shrugging.

"I didn't really feel it necessary." He said simply. "I knew you'd figure it out sooner or later."

"Oh boy…" Bryanna muttered, smacking her forehead with the heel of her hand.

"Dark, you are so in for it now!" Dani smirked, seeing how crazily Bryanna and Erin were going about the whole thing. Erin climbed out from under the covers and clambered up to the top bunk, prepared to beat the living hell out of the perverted punk.

"You..." She growled, glaring at him as he raised a brow.

"Yes?"

"You…" She repeated.

"Erin, you're still only half-dressed you know." Bryanna said, laughing slightly. Erin continued to glare at the shirtless boy before her.

"YOU…you're on my list."

He laughed. "Which list?"

"My list of people to eliminate."

"I don't get a kiss first?" He winked.

"Shut up!"

"It's so cute when you guys fight!" Dani pointed out. Silence. "Guys?" No answer. She popped her head up to look and saw that they had both fallen asleep. Erin was on top of Dark, still jean-less, and Dark still shirtless. Her head was resting on his shoulder and his arms were wrapped gently around her waist.

"Oh my gosh, you have to see this, Bryanna!" Dani whispered. Bryanna climbed up the ladder as well.

"Awww, that's so cute!" She whispered back. "Hey Dani, gimme a piece of chalk; I wanna write something behind them." Danielle handed her a piece of chalk as told to, and on the chalkboard wall behind the sleeping couple Bryanna wrote: 'Dark is Erin's and Erin is Dark's.'

"Where's the camera?" Dani inquired giddily.

"It's in my room." Bryanna answered, ushering her little sister off to get it.

Erin snuggled closer to Dark in her sleep, him tightening his hold on her slightly, the couple blissfully oblivious to the rest of the world. (Including to Dani and Bryanna's giggling.)

Author: Wow, it took me two days to write this. –blinks- And it's the longest chapter yet, probably the longest chapter there'll ever be! I have no clue…I haven't looked in my notebooks lately. Leave me some nice reviews, and by the way, on the night we were writing this, all the stuff except with Dark in 'em actually happened. Cool, yes? No? Perhaps? Okay well, I'll bid you ado. Ado! --Dark's Angel
