The air port was full of people coming and going. Roy folded his hands and unfolded them, his eyes locked on the ground. He was nervous, that couldn't be denied. Him and Jade had made plans for him to pick her up, afterwards would be a surprise for her. Roy looked down at the small gift he had bought her, a bouquet of flowers ranging from roses to lilies and every thing in between. Thinking back on it now he thought maybe he should have gotten her a better gift.

A new purse. Jade was always into fashion.

Or perhaps a brand new I-pod.

Or maybe diamonds... Well, not diamonds, but something better than flowers.

The sent of the flowers drifted up to his nose and he suddenly had a change in heart. Jade didn't lavish in luxury and the only time she ever spoiled herself was when she went shopping, and even then she had boundaries. The flowers were a good gift, she would appreciate them.

Roy leaned back in his seat, wondering how long her plane would take to land. Was her plane even here yet? Roy couldn't help but feel bored now. His hands felt around his jacket until it landed on the stash Amy had given him last night. He let his hand fall to his side, he would need that later, during the night time.

Roy looked up as the doors opened and people poured out with relieved and tired faces. Roy could bet they were happy to be off the plane. Suddenly a teenage girl walked out and his heart stopped. She was even more beautiful then he remembered. Her hair was shorter and in layers but still reached above her waist. Her green eyes spotted him and she dropped her bags.

"Roy."

"Jade."

She didn't waist any time and ran to him. He repeated the gesture and made his way to her in a rush. She ran into his welcoming arms, her arms wrapping around his neck. Before a single word could be uttered between them Jade had closed the gap between them, locking them in a passionate kiss. His hands raked through her hair and landed on her waist, pulling her closer.

The kiss was like magic. All the stored up passion was finally being released between them. In short words, best kiss ever. It only got better when Jade licked his lips asking for entrance. Usually it was him to do this sort of thing but he was more then happy to comply. It was like a rediscovery and oh so amazing. Things were getting heated between the two and bystanders started to stand watch, covering the eyes of their young children. It was only when they pulled away for air that they noticed this.

"I can't tell you enough how happy I am to see you." Jade whispered to Roy as she leaned her forehead against his.

"I think I know the feeling," Roy smirked at her. "If I'd known I'd get a kiss like that I would send you on vacation more often."

"Please, I know you missed me." Jade said as she cupped his cheek.

He kissed her softly on the lips. "You have no idea."

---

Jade held on to Roy's hand the entire time of the car ride. A smile was glued on to both of their faces.

"So how was New Jersey?" Roy asked once they came to a stop light.

"It was great. My dad has this great apartment," Jade smirked. "I think he may have a crush on his next door neighbor."

"You didn't play match maker did you?"

"Hmm... that depends on your views of match making."

"I've missed you so much, Jade," Roy said as he gave her hand a squeeze. "You and your crazy personality."

"I've missed you too... and being a hopeless romantic does not mean I have a crazy personality."

They both laughed.

"So what did you do while I was away?"

Roy froze but recovered quickly. "Nothing much. I just kept myself preoccupied."

Jade nodded. "I can not wait to get home. I missed my own room and all my friends. I can't wait to see them."

Roy stopped the car and Jade peered out the window with a questioning look.

"Roy, this is your house. Why are we here?"

"You'll see," Roy said as he got out the car. He ran to the other side and opened the door for her and bowed his head like a gentleman would. "Me'lady."

Jade giggled and accepted his offered hand. "So, are you gonna tell me what this is?"

"Hmm, no. It's a surprise." Roy laughed and snuck up behind her, covering her eyes.

Jade laughed. "What are you doing?"

"Making sure you don't ruin your surprise."

She fake pouted and Roy lead her up to the front of the steps of his house. He opened the door for her, making sure his one hand covered both her eyes, and kicked the door close. From what Jade could tell everything was dark, not because of his hands covering her eyes but she always got this weird feeling when she was in a dark room. It was also quite, a little to quite. Just as Jade was about to question him he released her and her eyes fluttered open. The lights turned on.

"WELCOME BACK, JADE!"

Jade brought a hand to her mouth in shock. In the room was all of her friends as well as some of her fellow classmates. The room was decorated with streamers and balloons as well as a huge sign. There was a rush of teenagers that came forward to greet Jade at once. Jenn was the fastest and wrapped Jade in a hug.

"Jade, it's so good to see you again," Jenn said happily. "I'm so glad you're back."

"It's good to be back."

Next was Wally. He gave Jade a bear hug. "I've missed you, Jade," he smiled cheekily at her. "Now that you're here Jenn won't have to bother me so much."

"What was that?" Jenn asked, grabbing Wally by his ear.

"OW!... Nothing, I was only joking."

Jade laughed at the couple, thinking that they hadn't changed one bit. Alain came up next with a girl by his side. Jade wrapped him in a hug.

"It's great to see you, Jade," he said, pulling away. "I'm glad you're home."

Jade smiled at him. "I'm just happy to see all of you again," she peered over at the girl standing next to him. "Who's your friend, Alain?"

"Oh, this is -"

"Toni Monetti," said Toni as she shook Jade's hand. "It's great to finally meet you. I've heard a lot about you from your friends."

"Good things I hope," Jade passed a glance at Alain. "You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend."

Alain felt like he could choke and his face turned a deep shade of red. "I don't! Toni is just a friend of mine."

"We meet during the field trip," explained Toni. "Jenn invited me to a snowball fight and of course us girls won."

"Oh yeah, I remembered Jenn telling me a little bit about that. Isn't that when Alain and Wally dressed up as -"

"Great seeing you, Jade! Come on, Toni, let's go get some soda."

Jade laughed as Alain pulled a protesting Toni away.

"I swear, I think those two are a couple." Roy whispered in Jade's ear.

Jade smiled to herself. She took a mental note to look into the new 'couple'. Next to greet Jade was Kori.

"Jade, it is so good to see you." Kori said cheerfully.

"Thanks, Kori," Jade said, pulling away from their hug. "Jenn told me you joined the cheerleading team."

"Oh, yes. Jenn needed one more girl and she choose me to help temporarily."

Jade nodded. "Any plans of joining the squad as an official member?"

"Uh... I don't know. Why, are you asking me to join?"

"From what Jenn tells me you've got real talent. I would like it if you stayed on the team."

"Well -"

Before Kori could say any more, Kitten ran up to them, dragging Dick behind her.

"Hey, Jade, how you've been?" Kitten asked.

"Um... fine," Jade said, trying to look at Kori so they could continue their talk but Kitten blocker her view. She sighed. "Kori, I'll talk you later, ok."

Kori nodded and couldn't help the frown that came to her face when she saw the hand Dick had placed on Kitten's waist. She reluctantly walked away. Kitten smiled to herself and dragged Dick away seeing as her job was done. The cheerleading squad had been invited to the party as well so Kitten took Dick over to where Mandy and Cindy were chatting. Karen shook her head as she approached Jade.

"What was all that about?" questioned Jade, looking at Karen.

"I'll explain later," Karen said with a smile as she hugged Jade. "How was New Jersey? Any good shops?"

Jade smiled and laughed. "You know it."

---

The party continued and Jade found herself to be engrossed in conversation after conversation. She had spent all this time catching up with every one. Jade had learned everything ranging from the field trip to Dick's New Years Eve party. She didn't realize she had missed so much and was finally beginning to realize how much catching up she had to do, not only in her social life but in her school work as well. Her friends brushed off the idea of school work saying they would all chip in and help her out. Right now Jade was in a deep conversation with Jenn, Karen, Toni, Kori and Raven.

"Ok, so Dick and Kitten is a couple now?" Jade asked, surprised. She never, not in a million years, ever saw that coming.

The others nodded.

"How in the hell of it did that happen?"

"To be honest I'm not to sure myself." said Toni.

"Oh, you know what this calls for," Karen asked all the girls. They waited for her to answer the question. "A sleep over!"

"Yes, a sleep over is just what Jade needs to catch up." Jenn said.

"Oh no," Raven said, stepping back. "I am not having another sleep over with Karen."

"Aww, come on, Raven," Karen said with a fake pout. "I'll make sure to bring lollipops."

Kori and Karen laughed at their inside joke and Raven glared at them.

"Lollipops?" questioned the others.

"It's a long story." said Kori, trying to control her laughing.

"One that will never be told." threatened Raven.

"Only if you promise to come to the sleep over." Karen said with a smirk.

Raven narrowed her eyes. "You are evil..."

Karen laughed and put a arm around Raven's shoulders. "Looks like Raven is in."

The girls agreed to the sleep over to be held at Kori's house and that it would tomorrow night. They stayed talking a little bit longer and Jade distangled herself from the group, suddenly becoming thirsty. She made her way through the small crowd, stopping here and there as a guest would occasionally greet her and tell her how happy they were that she back. Finally she made it to the long food table and picked up a can of soda. Two arms wrapped around her waist. A smile played on her lips as she instantly knew who it was.

"Hello, Roy."

"I must be losing my touch."

She put her can of soda down on the table and wiggled around in his arms so she was facing him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and his arms tightened around her waist, bringing her closer.

"You could never lose your touch." she said softly, kissing him on the lips and letting it linger.

He smirked at her. "What do you say we get out of here."

"And leave my own party."

"You'll get to spend the day with me. Besides... I kind of made us plans."

"What kind of plans?"

"You'll have to come with me to find out."

Jade sighed. "What about our friends?"

"I'll get rid of them."

Jade rolled her eyes.

"What, you don't believe me?"

"Seeing is believing."

"You'll do more then see me." Roy said with a wink.

Jade playfully slapped his arm. She had missed his dirty humor. Roy gave her one last kiss before turning away. Her eyes watched him as he made his way through the crowd and jumped on a empty table.

"Can I have your attention please," Roy called out to the crowd. Every one stopped what they were doing and looked at him. "I would just liked to thank every one for showing up. It really means a lot to Jade, my girlfriend Jade. Wave to the people sweetheart!"

Jade laughed at his antics and meekly waved her hand as people in the room turned to look at her. They couldn't help but to chuckle as well. They turned back to look at Roy.

"Ok, where was I... Oh, I remember now. Jade is very thankful for all of your support and so am I, but I speak for myself and my girlfriend when I say get out!"

There was a silence in the crowd besides the few muttered comments. Jade slapped a hand to her forehead. She prayed that he would just shut up and get off the table. Roy however continued.

"We are all happy that Jade is back but I need some much needed alone time with my girlfriend. So goodbye and get out!"

Roy jumped off the table and rushed to Jade's side. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out the door. Every one was in silence, eyes wide. Gar was the first to speak.

"Dudes, did that just happen?"

Mean while, Roy pulled Jade to his car. He let go of her hand and the two burst out laughing. Jade punched his arm.

"I can't believe you did that!"

"It was worth it, trust me."

He opened up the car door for her and she climbed in. He shut the door and ran over to his side, getting in the car. Roy started it up and pulled out the drive-way.

"Where are we going?"

Roy grinned at her. "Some place you'll enjoy."

---

Roy had ordered her to keep her eyes closed the entire car ride, much to Jade's annoyance. She wanted so badly to open her eyes and see where they were going. Maybe she could...

"Close 'em."

Jade huffed and closed her eyes. What ever 'this' was Roy wanted to keep it a secret. A smile came across her face. It felt so good to have Roy by her side, to be near him again. She had missed his presence the entire time she was in New Jersey. Although she had enjoyed her time away it was torture not being with him. Maybe next time Roy could come visit with her.

"We're here."

Jade opened her eyes and gasped. Roy had brought them to The Ivy. It was simple restaurant but it held a much greater meaning to the both of them. This is the very place they had their first date.

"Roy... you are so amazing," Jade said as she wrapped her arms around him. She kissed him on the cheek and pulled away. "It looks like some of my hopeless romantic personality has rubbed off on you."

Roy laughed.

"Well I hope you're hungry," Roy said as he got out the car and opened her door. "'Cos I'm starved."

Jade smiled at him and they walked inside. They walked inside and Jade felt a little bit out of place. Scratch that, she felt very out of place. The restaurant was filled with people dressed in suits and fancy gowns while she wore a short sleeve shirt and a pair of ripped up jeans. She passed a glance at Roy who was also in jeans, a red shirt and his jacket. Jade tugged at his arm.

"Roy, as happy as I am that you would do something like this...," she sighed. "Look at us, we're underdressed."

"So."

"So... we're underdressed!"

"I think you look great right now."

Jade smiled at him, she then noticed the smirk on his face. "Wait a minute... you're just saying that!"

"No I'm not. I really do mean it, you look great."

"So then why did you smirk?"

"Because I got you to agree. Just relax, you look great."

Roy put his hands on her shoulders and steered her towards the host. The host rose a brow at the two teenagers but held his tongue.

"Name?"

"Roy Harper, table for two."

The host face brightened immediately. "Oh yes, Mr. Harper. Right this way."

Roy smirked and grabbed Jade's hand as a waiter lead them to their table. Jade gasped in delight. The table was the same table they had sat at when they first came here. The waiter pulled out a small note pad and pen.

"What is it that would like to order?"

"A chicken for me and a lasagna for my beautiful girlfriend."

"Very good sur." the waiter said with a nod and walked away.

Jade turned to Roy. "You remembered."

He smiled at her. "Of course I did. It was out first sate. I could never forget any thing from that night."

A little while later the waiter appeared with their meals.

"This looks delicious." Jade said as she grabbed her fork.

"Well dig in cause I have some more surprises for you."

---

Roy smiled to himself as he watched Jade. Judging by the wide smile on her face she was enjoying herself. After they were done eating Roy had taken them to the carnival. He didn't realize how much he had missed her until today. He missed her laugh and the way she always put a smile on his face.

"Come on, Roy." Jade said cheerfully, grabbing his hand and pulling him along.

Roy followed her and held her hand tighter. Suddenly she stopped and gasped. She let go of his hand and ran to a near by game.

"Roy, look!" Jade said as she pointed at one of the game prizes.

Roy raised a brow. "It's a stuff animal."

"Not just any stuff animal. Hello Kitty," Jade pulled at his arm and jumped up and down much like a hyper child would. "Win it for me please!"

Roy sighed with a playful glint in his eyes. "How come I can never say no to you?"

Jade smiled at him. "I don't know, but I hope you never find out."

He smirked at her and put a few dollars on the table. The man stationed at the table took it and handed him three baseballs.

---

Jade squeezed the fluffy Hello Kitty stuff animal that Roy had won her at the carnival. Roy smiled at her, although he would never understand her obsession with the cat he was glad that he was able to make her happy. They got in the car and Roy took off.

"So, where are you taking me now?" Jade asked, hoping he would tell her this time.

It was getting late so there wasn't much places they could go now.

"I'm taking us to a nice relaxing movie."

"A movie?"

Roy nodded. "Any movie of your choice. Even if it's a chick flick."

"Really?"

"Really."

Jade squealed in delight.

Once they got to the movie theater Jade had chosen the most girlish movie playing at the time. Roy groaned but held true to his promise and sat through the whole movie. Jade looked at his face and couldn't help but to laugh. His expression was one of complete boredom. Once the movie was over they walked out and Jade grinned at him.

"Oh come on, it wasn't that bad."

"Never again..."

Jade rolled her eyes and they walked up to the door only to see it was raining outside.

"What the hell," said Roy. "I didn't hear anything about it raining today."

"Great, now I'm gonna get all wet." Jade said with a sarcastic voice."

"Ok, um... you stay here and I'll go get the car."

"I'm still gonna get wet, Roy." Jade said with a frown.

"Here," he said, giving her his jacket. "I'll bring the car around and you can use this to cover yourself."

"You sure?" Jade asked, holding his jacket.

"Yeah, I'll be quick."

"Ok then," Jade kissed his cheek. "Thanks, Roy."

Roy smiled at her before walking out the door and running to go get his car. Jade smiled to herself, she had the sweetest boyfriend in the world. She put his jacket on and put her hands in his front pockets while she waited. She frowned when she felt something inside his pocket. Curiosity got the better of her and she pulled out what ever it was that was in his pocket. Her eyes widened in shock. In her hand was drugs.

Her mind was in an assortment of mixed up thoughts. Why did Roy have drugs in his pocket? What was he doing with this? When did this even happen? There was so many questions she asked herself. She didn't know what to do... all she wanted was to het this, what ever this was, out of her sight. Jade put the drug back in the pocket she found it in and wrapped her arms around herself. A look of disbelief and confusion was on her face.

A car horn beeped from outside and Jade looked up to see it was Roy's car. She moved his jacket up so that it covered her head and ran outside. She opened the door and climbed in the car, quickly removing his jacket and giving it to him. Once she was buckled up Roy drove off. They came to a red light and Roy stopped the car, running a hand through his wet hair.

He looked over at Jade and smiled at her. "Did you have good time today?"

Jade looked at him and nodded her head. "Oh yeah... it was great."
