Allison smiled even though she felt like she was blushing. "I'm glad you think that way. I didn't think you was going to like the idea of us two dating". she said while she checked him out. He wore a pair of light brown pants and a dark blue sweater. She always liked Ryan in sweaters, for some odd reason.

Ryan tried not to blush. "I, um, actually, was hoping that Rose would set me up with you. I've had a thing for you for a long time, but I didn't want to say anything because you were with Nick."

Allison's expression was a surprised one. Then she found her voice "You could have said something. I had no idea how you felt about me and I wasn't going to be the one making the first move guess because I'm too old fashioned for that. I've always believe that guys should make the first move. And the Nick relationship was headed for disaster for awhile even before I broke things off".

"I know, but you really liked Nick. I didn't think I had a chance with you," Ryan said.

Allison looked at him "You have that chance now, and Nick is out of the picture. That is, if you'll take the chance".

"I realize that I have the chance now and I fully intend on taking it," grinned Ryan.

Allison smiled then asked "So this means we'll be more than friends?"

"I hope so." he said.

'There's no one else that I want to be with. Just you". said Allison "I just had to know your feelings first". Dance music started, then couples began to Dance.

Ryan stood up and offered Allison his hand. "Dance with me?"

Allison nodded then took his hand and stand up. "Of course. But, I'm terrible at dancing. You'll have to teach me how".she followed him out onto the Dance floor.

Ryan led Allison in a slow waltz. "Just follow my lead and you'll be fine. My older sister, Delian, forced Rose and I to take dancing lessons in the 9th grade."

Allison nodded and followed his lead and they began slow dancing along with the others. Allison found herself started to gaze into Ryan's eyes.

Ryan was an excellent dancer. He ignored all the girls looking at him. He had eyes only for Allison. At the end of the song, Ryan leaned in and kissed her.

Allison kissed him back and felt the sparks immediately when their lips touched. She had never felt this way around Nick. Being with Ryan felt so right. Allison wanted to just melt right there in his arms. Their kiss lasted a good 30 minutes, until they heard a familiar annoying voice.

"Guess she didn't waste no time moving on without you Nick". said a female voice. A young brunette girl off the cheerleading squad was with Nick and the two were in front of Ryan and Allison."And it's with the new Quarterback. Ryan Winchester".

Nick felt his temper rise at the sight of Ryan kissing his former girlfriend Allison. He should have known Ryan was after his girl all along. "Move fast much?"

Allison and Ryan stopped kissing, and Allison saw Nick and stepped back closer to Ryan for safety in case Nick tried anything. "Are you following me, Nick?" she asked annoyed.

"Nick can't step closer to you than four feet," Ryan whispered to Allison. "My mom put a curse on him."

Allison looked at Ryan and nodded suddenly remembering. She then looked to Nick.

Nick tried to get closer to Allison but failed into doing so ran into an invisible wall before him to him it felt like glass and he staggered back . "What the hell-" he started to say. "What do you think?" he asked Allison.

Allison looked at him and then said "At least I wasn't the one who was cheating. I saw you kissing Amanda a week ago Nick. At least I waited after I broke things off with you and at least I'm with someone whom I've known my whole life, and Ryan isn't a jerk". Allison tried to keep from laughing and keep a serious expression her face.

When Nick tried once again to come closer to Allison, it felt like his entire body was on fire. It felt like needles were sticking into every centimeter of his skin. It didn't stop until he backed off, doubling over with the pain.

"Stay away from us, Nick," Ryan said softly.

They went back to their table and sat down looking over the menus. Allison looked at Ryan "I'm going to have to thank your mom for that restraining order she put over Nick. Your family seems like they are great people Ryan".she ignored the glares from Nick across the other room.

Ryan laughed. "They're a little crazy, but yeah, generally they're good people."

Allison laughed back "Your family isn't the only one that's crazy. That's a lot of families these days. So, what dish are you thinking about getting? I think the Shrimp Alfredo sounds tempting".

"I was thinking the same thing," Ryan replied. When the waiter came, Ryan and Allison both ordered. The two talked until the food came, completely forgetting that anyone else was in the room.

After Supper was over with, Allison walked outside with Ryan into the cool night air. "So what else do you want to do? We've still got plenty of time left". she walked beside him.

Ryan reached over and shyly held Allison's hand. "I was thinking about going for a walk downtown. There's an art festival, if you're interested."

"I just love art festivals! I hope they've got some great crafts this year". she smiled as he took her hand and she let him hold hers as they began walking down the sidewalk. They arrived soon at the were some kiddie rides, games, food, and of course crafts. Allison bought some crafts for Christmas decorations, and for Halloween to. Just about everyone was there. "I wonder if we'll see Rose and James".

"I'm not sure. They were supposed to have a date tonight." Ryan said, keeping an eye out.

"Wanna go get on some rides while we keep an eye out for them?" asked Allison.

"Sure," Ryan said. "What kind do you like?"

"The Spinning Tea cups. They are great rides and two people can ride them the main thing not to do is eat before you get on them". said Allison.

Ryan laughed. "Sounds good."

Earlier that evening, James went to go pick up Rose. He hoped that she would like him as a date. She was one of the Popular girls and he hoped she liked him. Dressed in a dark blue shirt and blue walked up to the Winchester's door carrying a rose. He rang the bell.

The door opened revealing Rose. She was wearing a dress that stopped a couple inches above her knees and had a slit up to her thigh. The dark blue dress was off the shoulder. Rose wore no jewelry except a silver necklace that looked like vines, which her father had given her. Her hair was up in a bun with a few tendrils hanging down. "Hi, James," she smiled, hoping she didn't sound too nervous.

"Hi Rose. I hope you like flowers, you look pretty". he handed her the Rose he bought her. "I hope your in the mood for some good Chinese Buffet and a game of bowling".

"Sounds great! Let me put this in a vase." Rose stepped back to James could come in. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a vase, putting some water from the faucet in it. After she placed the vase and the rose on the table she turned to James. "Ready?"

James nodded they went out to his car and he opened the door for her. When they got to the Restaurant, James started a conversation "There's also going to be Festival tonight. Wanna go to that after bowling?"

"Sure," Rose grinned.

From a table in the corner, Rose and James were being watched. In the center of a group of guys sat one with silvery blonde hair and cold grey eyes. He stroked his chin thoughtfully as he watched the couple. One of his friends elbowed him and the boy with the grey eyes turned his attention back to the conversation at the table.

James unaware of being watched, studied the menu. The restaurant had lots of Italian favorites "I think I'm in the mood for some Lasagna. Aren't you? I could order a big plate and we could share it".James also wanted to buy some garlic bread.
