A/N: Ha! My first filler chapter. xD I hope you don't mind too much... I had to redo this chapter so many times. It was so confusing. I even had to ask for help for some concepts of it.

Sara ran down ally after ally as fast as she could. She was somewhat happy that she had a mission. It kept her mind off of matters, and that was something she desperately needed. Her mind had no room or time to wander.

She skid to a halt as she saw the strip mall she was supposed to be at. She leaned on a wall, taking time to catch her breath, trying not to look too suspicious. Once she was ready she walked down the sidewalk along the front of the shops, scanning through the windows, looking for signs of Father. After a few minutes of searching, she saw him in a store, apparently looking for a suit.

Sara stood there, confused. Why would Father be looking to buy a suit? What possible reason would he need one?

She was about to send in a message to Moon Base, but that's when she heard her name being called.

"SARA!"

She looked back and her eyes widened and her face turned red. Here came Chad running up to meet her. Her eyes looked away. Always. He was always bothering her. Why couldn't he leave her alone for once? Wasn't what he did to her already enough?

"I've been looking everywhere for you!" he said, out of breath.

"You, obviously, weren't looking hard enough." she stated without emotion.

"I wanted to ask you-"

"Not interested." she interrupted him.

"Ha ha." he said, annoyed.

Sara shrugged and turned back around, trying not to pay attention to him. She felt a firm, almost painful, hand on her shoulder. She grunted and tried to pull away, but he just threw her against a wall, hands resting on the wall on both sides of her head.

"Let me go. I have work to do." she growled.

"Hear me out, and I'll let you go." he said firmly.

"Fine. What do you want?"

"Will you go to the Spring Fling dance with me?" he asked, there was no change in his expression, nor his tone. He was like stone.

"W-what?" she almost yelled, her mind blank.

"You know what I said." he stated.

"Uhm... Uh..."

"I'm not letting you go until you say 'Yes.'" A smirk crawled its' way onto his lips.

"You said you'd let me go when I listened to you." she said softly, choosing her words carefully.

"I lied."

"Wouldn't be the first time, would it?" she growled before sighing. "Fine. I'll go."

Chad straightened, a victorious look on his face. "I'll pick you up at 8 tomorrow."

Sara rolled her eyes and slipped around him. She glanced into the store window. Father was no where to be seen. She groaned and smacked her forehead.

She needed to report it to Moon Base, no matter how bad the news. She took out her P.H.O.N.E.

"362 here."

"Hey... Um... I know what Father was buying, but I lost him when somebody decided to distract me." Sara said, glaring at Chad's direction.

"Alright. Ugh. I'll send Numbuh 1 to watch his house." Rachel said.

"Got it."

She hung up and glared at the teen. She scoffed before walking away from him. She wasn't even four blocks away from him and her mind started to wander to what she had gotten herself into.

This was going to be a problem. A DATE with the enemy didn't seem like the brightest plan, but she racked her brain for a benefit of this situation. Maybe she could, somehow, squeeze information out of him? No. That wouldn't work. He was too smart to fall for something stupid like that. Was this a trap? Could he be just setting her up for an ambush from the teens? Nah. That was highly unlikely. The twerps weren't that willing to go out of their way to trap her.

Maybe this was a chance to sort her feelings. She stopped dead in her tracks. No. There were no feelings. She didn't feel anything for him. But, what was that an hour or so ago? Why did she freak out like she did?

She groaned, this was way too confusing for her to even begin to figure this out.

But the feeling she felt when they kissed wasn't bad. In fact, she enjoyed it. It was more than just a simple kiss, and she now knew this. She didn't want it to stop. More importantly, she didn't want to leave him.

Those feelings scared her to the inner core of her being. This wasn't like her to think about things this much. Maybe this was all brought on by the fact that, that was her first kiss. Maybe it didn't have to deal with anything. It was all just hormones in her body. But that would mean she was turning into a teen faster than what she thought. She stopped her train of thought and concentrated on the test that she missed today in class.

It wasn't long until she found herself back at the tree house. She smiled, happy to be home, and made her way up. Once in, she walked to her room and flopped onto her bed. She needed sleep to escape her own self.

A/N: Woot~! Next chapter and the next few will be all plot :D I hope you can wait a day or so... LOVES AND HUGS~ xxBlurred-Tearsxx
