I'VE HAD A MAJOR WRITERS BLOCK…not. Actually chapters was having they're buy 3 get the 4th free sale and I just had to, repeat, just had to get some more books. I FINALLY GOT 'I AM NUMBER 4' but only in paperback since my dad is a cheap asshole. I got the viz-big edition of Rurouni Kenshin (Kenshin is cuuuuttttte), Red Riding Hood not the children's book for you information, and Night World No.2, which is really amazing. Since I got these books you can't get me off my loft bed without poking me with something, or grabbing the book. -. - But I finished Rurouni Kenshin so I figured I might update. Or my mom will kill me…

-XxXxXxX- Mari's POV

I glanced at my phone. It was already almost 10…wow, I guess time flies when your having fun. Ace glanced down at my phone in curiosity and turned pale.

"Crap…the movie's at 10…" he sighed.

"I guess we lost track of time." I sighed with him.

"But I don't really mind anything, as long as I'm with you." He said, I felt his leg gently brush up against mine under the table and a faint pink blush appeared on my face, I didn't want Ace to see it, but with the small smile on his face I guess he did…

"Idiot." I muttered. "What are we watching? If it's some random crap assed action movie I swear to god you'll never have kids."

"Um…A. it's not an action movie. B. Mari you're scaring me." He told me.

"I guess I'm a little tense…tell me if 'm crazy but it feels like someone's watching us…" I sighed

"I guess I'm feeling that too…it's a little unsettling…" He noted….

-XxXxXxX- Alice's POV

"I guess I'm feeling that too…it's a little unsettling…" Ace noted after Mari.

"CRAP…WHAT DO WE DO?" I asked Shun silently.

"I have no idea." He said honestly. "Why are you asking me anyway?"

"Because: Shun-chan is ninja!" I giggled silently.

"S-seriously? A-Alice…please don't' say that again…" Shun said.

"Well what do we do? If Mari finds out it's us two things will happen. First of all she'll make sure that your body is so oddly disproportionate that no one will recognize you, second of all she'll take my head and shove it into a huge vice…" I said thinking of the worst possible thing Mari could do.

"Yeah. I'm scared too, but then again I'm also curious and very noticeably pissed at Ace." Shun told me and I noticed Ace's cockney look as if nothing had happened, he and Mari just left. Seriously…now Mari was making me mad.

"We should go after them. It's a movie theater…so we just have to sit a few rows behind them right?" I said. Shun nodded in agreement. At least the second part will be easy to monitor what they were doing.

-XxXxXxX- Alice's POV Still

"HE RENTED A PRIVATE THEATER!" I almost screamed as I looked at the sign on the door. Ya know what? SCREW WHAT I SAID EARLIER, THIS IS GOING TO BE AS HARD AS HELL. I almost fell to my knees.

"A-Ace…this may have been going a bit too far." Shun noted even he was trembling at the sheer size of the building in front of us. "What do we do now?"

"…I have no idea." I admitted.

-XxXxXxX- Ace's POV

"You. Rented. A. Private. Theater." Mari as we walked through the large area that was normally the ticket booth.

"Yes, yes I did." I told her.

"…Why?" She asked me.

"The thing is the movie we're going to isn't out in theaters yet…my dad got it so that he could have people review over it and stuff, and since they were done I asked if I could borrow it." I told her.

"You still haven't told me what we're seeing." She sighed. I clenched her hand gently and smiled. I stopped her in front of a 'Coming Soon' poster.

"This is what we're seeing." I told her.

"How. Did. You. Know. I. Wanted. To. See. This?" She asked me. The poster for the new movie that was coming out soon. 'Red Riding Hood'

"Lucky guess?" I shrugged. Truth be told: I overheard her talking to Alice about the movie. She clenched my hand tighter and awed at the poster. "Why stare at a poster when you could be watching it right now?" I asked her and slid myself behind her as I wrapped my arms around her waist I felt her face become warmer and I saw the light pink flush on her face that I loved.

"What are we waiting for then? Let's go." She giggled lightly and started to pull me towards the theater.

As soon as we got to the door a tall man in a suit looked at me and opened up the door for us, the theater turned dark as soon as we sat down. Squat in the middle of the theater, the perfect place. I heard a strange noise from outside and turned around to take a look.

"Is something wrong?" Mari asked me.

"Nothing. I just thought I heard something." I told her. She shrugged and turned her attention back to the movie. Mari seemed so relaxed despite how creepy the movie was. It wasn't scary, but it was creepy I admit that much. But it turned out to be a good thing after all. She rested her head on my shoulder and I managed to slide my hand into her's again. Why was Mari so cute when she blushed…now I know what Shun feels like…

I smiled at her and she turned away from me pretending to watch the movie.

-XxXxXxX- Shun's POV

Getting thrown by a large man is not how you want to exit a movie theater…trust me.

"What do we do? Ace is in there with my best friend doing who knows what!" Alice was freaking out. Badly…As much as I love Alice and as cute and sweet as she was for worrying about Mari, she was overreacting. It was Ace, he wouldn't imagine of doing anything to hurt Mari.

"Alice. Do you honestly think that Ace would do anything that goes against what Mari wants?" I asked her with a smile.

"YES!" She screamed.

"…Well he won't. He really likes her, and he just wants her to be happy, he was probably just following Mari's wishes when they kept this a secret from us." I told her looking at the theater. "And if he's this insistent of keeping it a secret…I think we should keep it a secret too…"

She looked to be in deep thought for a moment. Then looked down but nodded.

"Its just Mari is m-"

"Best friend? She was probably worrying about you too when we went on our first date, what with you leaving without a word." I laughed.

She blushed.

"She yelled at me after…" She giggled lightly. "Let's go home then."

I smiled at her and hopped into my car.

-XxXxXxX- Mari's POV

The movie was amazing! I wish I could say that right now, but to be honest I couldn't' pay attention to the movie with Ace beside me, couldn't stop myself from glancing up to see where his attention was ever 10 minutes or so. It always seemed to be on me. I felt bad for him even if it was his idea to keep our relationship a secret, he was probably hurting more inside then I could…he liked me longer then I like him…I felt so bad for him…

"That was the creepiest movie ever created." He said as we walked out of the theater.

"I liked it." I said.

"Mr. Kaname." The bulky security guards stopped me and Ace as we exited the theater. "You should know there was a pair of teenagers here."

"Teenagers?" I asked, suddenly my suspicions grew.

"A boy and a girl. The boy was tall, lean, black hair, brown eyes. The girl was small, petite almost, long wavy orange hair, dark brown eyes. You should be careful." He told us.

I looked at Ace with the same angered face.

"Alice and Shun." We said at the same time.

-XxXxXxX- Ace's POV

I was furious.

I was enraged.

I was pissed.

I was…I can't think of anything else other then mad…

What the hell was Shun doing? So I leave for one night, doesn't he have enough decency to STAY OUT of my personal life at least? I looked at Mari as I drove, I could tell that angry look on her face meant 'Shun, you dead bastard!' She was looking out the window like she was ready to punch a hole through the window.

"What the hell are they thinking?" She growled. "I can't be 'alone' for ONE DAMN NIGHT?"

"I'm having the exact same thoughts." I said nodding lightly.

"When I get back…" We both started. "Those two better have gotten they're wills ready!"

But the time we got back it was slightly past midnight. I parked the car quickly and slammed the door closed; of course I didn't storm into my dorm before escorting Mari to her own. Where she rammed through the door and I could tell that I should leave.

So I did the same thing, finding Shun sitting on his bed. Reading a magazine. Like nothing happened. I shot a glare at him.

"Hey Ace." He said.

Without another word I ripped the magazine from his hands and pushed him off the bed.

"DUDE! WHAT THE HELL?"

"For spying on me and Mari today!" I told him.

He looked at me, confused.

"Wha?" he asked.

"Don't 'wha?' me! The security guard told me. There were two teenagers wanting to get into the theater, a boy who was tall, lean, black hair, brown eyes….

-XxXxXxX- Mari's POV

"…And a girl, small petite almost, long wavy orange hair, dark brown eyes! Now who does that look like I wonder?" I said looking at Alice who was cowering by her bed.

"H-Honestly Mari? Why would I follow you?" She stuttered.

"Don't play stupid with me Alice. I swear, if you have any decency as my FRIEND, then you would stay out of my personal life? What does it even matter to you?" I told her…

"WELL CAN I HELP THAT I WAS WORRIED?" She yelled back, I flinched. "You just seemed to disappear with Ace…I thought that MY FRIEND would have the decency to tell me about her relationship."

"It's not my fault I put what Ace wants me to do first!" I told her.

"…Wait! I'm confused! I don't get it…why would Ace want to keep THIS a secret?" Alice asked me.

"H-He doesn't want me to get hurt…" I said, blushing.

"Hurt?"

"A-At his party…when Kristin got up in my face…he doesn't want something like that to happen again…he was just being protective." I protested. "He's just doing something that…

-XxXxXxX- Ace's POV

"…I wanted." I admitted to Shun slamming onto my bed. It'd been tiring.

"I've never ever heard anything…so stupidly sweet." He told me. "You couldn't even tell your roommate whom is also your best friend? Dude…fail."

"You would probably somehow blab to Dan." I noted.

"I guess your right." Shun laughed. "But now I know."

"SO KEEP YOUR F-ING MOUTH SHUT." I told him.

"Fine, fine." He said. "But I'm holding this against you!" He told me waving a can of coke in my face, I laughed and grabbed it.

-XxXxXxX- Mari's POV

"Promise me you won't do anything like that again?" I asked her.

"I'll stay out of your personal life." Alice laughed, and handed me a cup of hot tea.

"Thank you." I smiled.

And so Mari and Ace's date comes to a conclusion! I really have nothing to say to you guys now except to review so….REVIEW! I'll see ya in chapter 15!
