"Anybody seen Charlie?" Maybeck asked, noticing her absence at the lunch table.

"not since Chem, why?" Willa asked, coming out of her field trip in Philby's eyes.

"Well, she's not here" Maybeck sounding annoyed, stating what he thought was the obvious.

"Oh, huh, I guess she's not. anyone know where she might be?" Finn said, just now tuning in.

"Noooo..." Maybeck rolled his eyes. He sighed, realizing it was hopeless to get through to them. Not that he wanted to others to noticed how concerned he'd been about Charene's whereabouts.

"Whatever" he whispered under his breath. Just as he did so, Charlene bolted across the cafeteria and sat down beside Maybeck.

"Hey Charlie" Maybeck said, a little shocked by her appearance considering she was normalled more put together than her current state. Her hair was all frizzy and looked wind-blown while her clothes had a certain wrinkle to them. Maybeck expressed some concern towards her enterance, which he secretly hoped would have a follow up story to why she hadn't been there a half hour ago.

"what happened to you?" he asked the dazed Charlene. She didn't answer right away, just stared off into the distance before saying, "Nothing."

There was something about the look in her eyes that made Maybeck uncomfortable and a little frightened, but he couldn't explain why.

Cruella Devil Cruella Devil

If she doesn't scare you

No evil thing will

To see her is to take a sudden chil

Cruella Cruella Devil

"Are you ok?" Maybeck asked, still slightly annoyed that the others weren't expressing concern to Charlie's well being.

"I'm fine Donnie!" Charlene exclaimed at the taken aback Maybeck. Although he felt a bit hurt bythe way Charlene had expressed her emotions, he couldn't help but think there was something else going on. That, and the fact that she'd called him Donnie was a switch, and very unusual for her.

"Chill out Charlie" Willa said, noticing the tone that her friend had just used. Philby looked slightly concerned at what was going on and put his arm around his girlfriend.

"What's the problem Charlie? You're not usually like this...or look like this" Amanda pointed out, taking in Charlie's appearance.

"Oh shut up you homewrecker!" Charlene blurted out and stormed out of the cafeteria leaving Amanda shook up and shrunken as Finn got up to go talk to her.

"Finn, I'll go" Maybeck offered but Finn beat him to it.

"Let me" Finn snapped, feeling fired up at what Charlene had just said to his girlfriend.

The curl in her lips

the ice in her stare

the innocent children better beware

she's like a spider waiting for the kill

look out for Cruella Devil

"Charlene, I want to talk to you" he yelled down the hallway at her.

"Aww Finn, don't be mad at me" she giggled in a way that he'd never heard before. He didn't like the twinkle in her eye that was starting to scare him. 'I thought she got over me' he thought as Charlene made her way to him.

"Charlie..." he said.

"Just be quiet...don't need to say a word...I know how you feel" she grinned shyly and put her arms around his neck.

"I know you want me, don't try and deny it...I read your letter."

Finn couldn't move, he instantly knew the problem for he was close enough to see that her eyes were not the intensifying blue they normally were. "Charlie, stop. I didn't write you a letter and you know it. Now I think it's time for you to come back to lunch and we'll...talk." He didn't care where they were, just anywhere but there was fine with him. He needed a witness to see that her eyes were indeed green and he had a scary hunch that he'd need back up for this situation.

At first you think Cruella is a Devil

But after time has worn away the shock

you come to ralize you've seen her kind of eyes

watching you from underneath a rock.

"I don't want to talk" she continued to smile as she grabbed his face and forced his lips to hers.

"Mmph Charlie" Finn struggled to push her off but he couldn't, which was odd because he knew he was stronger than her by a lot.

"Finn!" Amanda exclaimed from behind.

"Ammphda!" he manage to force out as Charlene was still firmly attached.

"What is this?!" Maybeck came out from behind Amanda, just as surprised at her at what they were seeing.

Finn's eyes widened hoping to hint that he couldn't get her off of him.

Amanda narrowed her eyes, trying to understand the current situation, then realized the obvious that Charlene wasn't acting normal.

Finn groaned, trying to be paitent while Amanda contemplated a plan to get Charlene away from him.

"Amanda" Maybeck whispered, "What can I do?" he looked sad. He wasn't fond of the fact that Charlene was kissing Finn, hoping his jealousy wasn't too obvious.

Amanda was only half paying attention when she noticed the color of Charlene's eyes. She looked at Finn with understanding eyes and took a deep breath and walked calmly up to Charlene.

"Excuse me, but this is my boyfriend" she said with little enthusiasm in her voice, nodding over to Maybeck to hold Charlene back just in case. If Amanda knew anything, it was that with green eyes, you never know what'll happen.

Charlene finally released Finn to look at Amanda with an evil glare. "He's my boyfriend, remember that" she growled, looking like she was ready to pounce but didn't get the chance as Maybeck instantly grabbed her. "Let go of me Donnie!" she screamed trying to get away from him. "You're such a pig!"

Maybeck almost lost his grip on her after hearing that. It broke his heart to see her like this but didn't know what else to do. If Finn's kiss didn't break the spell, what would?

"Thanks for saving me" Finn gasped, "She's persistent...what do we do?" he asked Amanda.

"I don't know, you'd think the spell would be broken since she kissed you, at least that's how it usually goes" Amanda pointed out.

"Yeah, you'd think!" Maybeck grumbled, still struggling with Charlene, "It's true love's kiss right?"

"Uh huh" Finn agreed, thinking.

"Unless..." Amanda said, grinning ear to ear.

"What?" Finn said, trying to read her grin.

Amanda nodded her head in Maybeck's direction continuing to grin. Finn quickly caught on, mirroring Amanda's grin.

"Ok, enough with the grinning, what's going on!" Maybeck yelled, practically holding Charlene in a football tackle now.

This vampire bat

this inhuman beast

she ought to be locked up

and never released

The world was such a wholesome place until...

"No way" he said quietly, "there's no way."

"Why not?" Amanda huffed.

"Because..." Maybeck said, "It's not me...I know it isn't."

"But what if it could be?" Amanda said softly.

"No harm in trying" Finn said.

Maybeck losened his grip on Charlene as she started to calm down. He slowly turned her around so she was facing him.

"Charlie?" he whispered.

"Let. Me. Go." she grumbled.

"Come back to me" he whispered as he leaned down, taking her face gently in his hand, and kissed her, praying for a miracle. He heard a giggled behind him, assuming it was Amanda who was probably enjoying the fact that he was a romantic guy.

He knew the minute his lips grazed hers that the spell was working its way out of her body. Maybeck couldn't explain how he knew, he just did, which relieved him greatly as he relaxed into the kiss.

What he didn't expect was for Charlene to respond, with great enthusiasm might he add.

Not wanted to break the connection for fear that he'd been dreaming of her reaction, Maybeck slowly backed away to look into her eyes. Her bright, beautiful, wonderfully sparkling blue eyes. "Charlie?" he whispered.

"I...I..."

"Shh...it's ok, you don't have to say anything" Maybeck said quietly, suddenly in deep thought. "Why didn't you ever tell me?"

"I didn't think you'd believe me" she whispered back "especially with Finn around."

"Did I miss something?" Finn looked at Amanda and asked.

Amanda just grinned, "She loves him" she sighed.

"Who knew" Finn chuckled, guiding Amanda away so to leave the new love birds alone.

"Sorry I went crazy on you, sorry I kissed Finn" Charlene said quietly as she put her head down.

"Hey, hey..." Maybeck tilted her chin up "it's ok, at least the spell is broken. it won't be bothering us anymore."

"Us?" Charlene looked in his eyes.

"If you want there to be an 'us'...I mean, I understand if you don't..."

Charlene stood on her toes to gently touch her lips to Maybeck's so he would stop talking.

"Yes" she smiled, which he gladly returned.
