It'll only take you a second. third of all, you won't get the first section. You're not supposed. If you do think you know what it's telling you, PM me. Please don't review your theories.

Before Ferryport Landing

Chapter 12-

Sally POV

'Sweet Goats.'

Those were the first things Sally had thought as she'd woken up, blinking away the last bit of her sleep. As per usual, she hadn't had a dream. Her state of mind might have been asleep, but her physical form had been far from it. Sally climbed down from her bunk bed, and walked to her full length mirror, to check the damage. She had a large gory cut on the upper joint of her left arm, which stung painfully. Sally frowned, and knew that over the day a few bruises would start to reveal themselves as well.

Sally exited her room, and approached her mother's sleeping form. She shook her awake, then went to get a bandage. It was another grim morning, one that would only appear once a month.

"What's the damage this morning?" Sally's mum, Ariana, asked, sadness in her eyes. They sat in the kitchen, Sally drinking hot chocolate, and her mother drinking coffee in a thick dressing gown.

"Just this," Sally said, showing her mum the deep cut under her arm. "Not as much as before."

Sally's mum's frown deepened. "Come on. I'll help you put the bandage on."

|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)

It was three in the afternoon, and Sally was CRAZY anxious about what other's were calling 'Her Date'. Her mum and her clambered into the car, then drove to the nearest cinema.

Ariana walked Sally into the building, and scanned the room for Brendan. Sally saw him first, and waved shyly. Brendan waved back.

"Who's he?" Ariana asked Sally.

"James' cousin."

"Where's James."

"I don't know. Probably going to the bathroom. Everyone else should arrive soon."

Sally's mum smiled, then left Sally to walk over to Brendan.

"Hey Sally." Brendan walked over casually, hands in his pockets, and that proud smirk glued to his angular face. He ran his fingers through his black hair. "Hows it going?"

"Good," Sally smiled. "You?"

"Cool. What movie do you wanna see?" It took them five minutes to decide on a film, then they walked together in the movie theatre. Brendan took a hold onto Sally's hand, which made her heart stop. Not in a good way though. It just didn't feel right.

Tasmin POV

"You got the plan?" Tasmin asked over the phone. She sat on the computer chair, a phone pressed to her ear.

"Yep," James replied grimly.

"Good. See you there. Bring the guys too."

"And you'll bring Sabrina?"

"Yep." Tasmin looked across the room to Sabrina, who was sitting on Tasman's neatly made bed, "She's coming."

"Bye."

"Bye." Tasmin hung up, and turned her head back to Sabrina.

The just looked at each other, frowning. Sabrina cracked a smile, "Brendan is going down."

"If all goes to plan." Tasmin smiled sheepishly. Luckily for them, the cinema was two blocks away. They'd be getting there quickly, and timing was essential.

James POV

"James?" Deon whined, "James?"

James put the disconnected phone down onto the table and turned to the impatient moron who'd been trying to catch his attention for the last 5 minutes.

"Jam-"

"What?" James asked, now getting a little annoyed.

"Finally! I was just beginning to think you'd gone brain dead. I mean, who can possibly resist answering such a lovely English accent as mine? No one! Except people whom are brain dead or what-not. Hence my earlier suspicions. Anyway..." At around about this point, everyone in the room lost interest. That being James, Cameron and Chase. All except for Deon who, unsurprisingly, was still talking.

"Get to the point!" Cameron interrupted impatiently.

"Fine. What's the plan, James?" Deon said, frowning at Cameron.

"OK. But you'll have to listen hard, 'cause it's a bit strange."

"We're listening," Chase confirmed patiently.

"Yup," Cameron added, resting his face on one hand, his elbow on his knee.

James nodded, "Here's the plan..."

Brendan (Danny) POV

Brendan looked over towards, Sally, sitting next to him in the theatre. They'd picked out some comedy movie. So far, it hadn't been too bad. But still a waste of money. Well... except seeing James' face when Brendan did the deed he'd quietly practised in his mind whilst waiting for Sally to arrive.

Sally was looking intently at the screen, concentration on her face. Her eyes darted quickly to Brendan and back to the movie. He stared deeply at her, to add effect, of course. Her eyes darted back to him, and back. She began to shift uncomfortably. Brendan frowned. This wasn't working out the way he wanted it. Why wasn't she head-over-heels in love with him yet? Brendan sighed in annoyance. She was stubborn. Like she liked someone else... like she wasn't sure of Brendan, and she didn't trust him. Brendan chuckled. "Smart girl."

He'd have to up his game. He casually picked up an arm, and slung it around Sally's shoulders, which immediately tensed at his touch. Reflexes, probably. He sent a caring smile to Sally, who slowly got used to the change of mood, and lent back into the chair a little. Someone in the movie made a joke, and Sally laughed her light, melodic laugh. Brendan found himself smiling warmly to himself, and quickly threw himself out of the trance. What was he doing? He wasn't supposed to fall! She was!

"Get a grip, you idiot. You DO NOT like this girl. She's just part of your little game," Brendan reassured himself. Yeah. He didn't like her! Not at all!

Did he?

|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)|)

The movie ended, and the credits began climbing up the blackened screen. Brendan stood up with Sally and stretched his back and legs.

"Did you like it?" He smiled, one eyebrow raised.

"It was okay..." she said slowly, "If you don't think about the mostly bad jokes and generally bad plot-line."

"Yeah. It wasn't the best," Brendan laughed, Sally snickering quietly as they followed the crowd out of the cinema. Once outside, Brendan decided now was the time. The friendly mood might fade away, and he'd have to bring it back again. Brendan stared intensely at Sally, stopping walking. Sally stopped as well and looked up at him, staring into his eyes. She blushed and looked away, and Brendan panicked a little. He picked up her face so she was looking at him by her chin. "I had a lot of fun today. You're really cool," he spoke softly. She just stared back at him, as if getting lost in his eyes. That was intended. Brendan did have purple eyes. Slightly. As much as contacts could faze blue.

Their faces were getting unusually close, and Brendan stooped down, catching onto her lips, his eyes slowly closing. It was strange, but he pulled her closer, putting his arms around her waist. Soon enough, she started to kiss back. This too was intended. "Good work Danny."

Sabrina POV

Tasmin looked down at her watch. "They should be coming out now," she told Sabrina. They stood up, and Sabrina signalled to the guys across the room.

"Are you sure this is a good plan? It's unusually... well, you're smart, and the plan couldn't have taken up much thinking."

"It'll do the job."

"I really don't want to bite him, Taz." Sabrina frowned, worried.

Tasmin sighed. "Fine. Don't. I'll get Cam to." Tasmin was about to dash across the hall, when Sabrina spotted Sally and Danny walk out of the cinema, and yanked Tasmin back behind the movie stand.

"They're out." Sabrina growled. She once again signalled to the boys, who were hiding behind another movie standee of Shrek or something, across the narrow room. They nodded, and turned back to peep out at Sally and Brendan. They were about to walk past, when Brendan stopped them. "Oh no."

"One, Two, Th-" Tasmin counted, but stopped dead in her tracks. Sabrina looked to Sally and Brendan, and her jaw dropped as Brendan leant down, and kissed Sally. On the lips. Sally's eyes widened, but Brendan pulled her into him more and her eyes fluttered closed and she angled her head to welcome the kiss. Sabrina's eyes were wide in horror and she looked over to James. His face was frozen in shock, and he stepped out from behind the movie stand. James shook his head slowly, walking backwards slightly, the turning and walking quickly away.

Sally and Brendan pulled apart, and sensed eyes on them. They turned their heads and took in everything around them. Chase, Deon and Cameron's heads poking out from beside the Shrek standee, Tasmin and Sabrina watching on with astonishment... James walking away, not daring to look back. Sally's eyes widened and she looked to Brendan, who's face was emotionless, but stony at the same time.

Deon shook his head, glaring angrily at Brendan, then turned to run after James. The two other boys walked after them.

Sabrina watched Tasmin's eyes narrow at Brendan, unusual for her usual shy exterior. Sally ran off to goat knows where. At the moment, Sabrina wasn't sure that she really cared. She was disappointed in Sally, but at the same time sorry for her.

Tasmin approached Brendan and the two began to bicker. Tasmin attacking, Brendan smirking. She'd told everyone about what Danny had told her about Sally getting over the incident one day, and Sabrina remembered this. She began to feel more sorry for Sally, because she knew that there wasn't a lot anyone could do to stop Brendan from breaking her. It was almost inevitable. Almost.

Oooh. Cliffy. DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA! What will happen? Will anyone be able to help Sally out of her sudden predicament? Will James' heart be restored? I d'know. I haven't wrote it yet. JK. I DO know, it's just not in words yet.

I won't make this long, cause I don't have a lot to say. Thankyou my reviewers! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Thanks for reading... Heh, sorry.
