Author's Note: It's time for the Anonymous Review Reply!

Fred the Fish- But he still raged either way. Thanks, it's a stress-reliever writing this story and others. I understand. To answer your question: The BLU's don't really care. They only care about themselves. Anyway, thanks for the review!

of bows and arrows- You're about to find out in this next chapter (and believe me, it's really cute). LOL! It's funny, right? Poor Cassie doesn't know Nicole already knows one. Yup, it's ironic indeed. XD Thanks for the review!

Animed2Fox- I'm not sure, what's your DA profile name? I would actually like to see it. Thanks for the review! Damien: *diguised as a human, he decloaks* Why would I be afraid of something that I can eat?

Avada- Thanks for the review! Leon: *flees* I DID! I DID! I UNDERSTAND WHAT I DID WRONG! WHY DO YOU KEEP BOTHERING ME?

Anyway, here's the adorable next chapter! ^_^

Nicole continued to stare at herself in the bathroom mirror. "Let's see…I brushed my hair and put it in a good ponytail, I brushed my teeth twice, I'm in my best, black jacket, no red or blue on me, nice, clean pants, clean shoes, my lucky cap, and I even have a piece of jewelry on me. Jèrèmie will be here any minute now…"

Sally's meow came from the other side of the closed door.

Nicole sighed. "I know, Sally. It is somewhat awkward to go out with a guy who's much older than I am. But I don't see him very often, so that's why I'm going. Besides, there's nothing to do around here."

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Nicole jumped in alarm. "Oh! That must be him!" she opened the door and passed her cat. "Take care, Sally, don't do anything while I'm gone. I'll probably be back in an hour…or so…" she ran down the stairs and answered the door. "Hey, Jèrèmie! You're five minutes late…"

The BLU Spy sheepishly grinned. "Oh? Is that so? I thought I was on time…"

Nicole giggled. "I'm just kidding, Jèr, you are on time."

"Good…" Jèrèmie cleared his throat. "So, are you ready?"

Nicole stepped outside and joined the Spy's side. "As always. Remember, I need to-"

"You need to be back by three this afternoon," Jèrèmie interrupted, "Don't worry, chéri, I am a man of my word."

Nicole nodded as she shrugged her shoulders. "I was actually going to say two, but three's fine."

"What do you want to do first?" Jèrèmie asked, "Sightseeing? A walk around the park? Lunch? Jou name it, and we'll do it."

Nicole blushed a little. "Jèrèmie, it doesn't matter to me at all. I want you to surprise me."

Jèrèmie blinked. "Are you sure?"

"Yep." Nicole gave Jèrèmie an assuring look. "I'll enjoy it no matter what."

"Er, alright then…Let us proceed then." Jèrèmie said, holding out his hand to Nicole.

Happily, Nicole took his hand. "Lead the way, Jèrèmie!"

"And so anyway," Nicole continued, walking by Jèrèmie's side, "that's why my school should consider doing marching band shows from games, like from Left 4 Dead or Halo! But I bet you don't know what I'm talking about, do you?"

Jèrèmie chuckled of embarrassment. "Sorry, I don't…I mean about those games you just said. I don't know what they are."

"It's okay, I understand, none of the RED Team get it either."

"Although, it's quite interesting that we are in a game video, or whatever you call them. Have you played it before?"

With a heavy sigh, Nicole shook her head. "No, I'm too afraid to."

"How come?" Jèrèmie asked.

"I'm afraid of playing you guys wrong." Nicole suddenly blushed and gasped, "No! Wait! That's not what I meant! No way! I meant in the game, you know? I'm afraid of messing up during the game…"

Jèrèmie laughed. "Careful what you say, chéri."
Nicole scoffed, as if trying to set aside her mistakes. "I know what I'm doing, don't worry about it." she said with as much confidence as possible.

"Of course you know what you are doing, just like you knew to wear stripes with plaid."

"What the-?" Nicole looked down to see her black plaid jacket over her black and green striped shirt. "Oh…guess I got a little too excited there…" she continued to blush.

"It's alright, it's nothing to worry about. You look just fine."

Nicole smirked. "You're just trying to make me feel better, aren't you?"

Jèrèmie smiled back. "Is it working?"

Nicole nodded a little. "Yeah, it's working, thanks."

"You're very welcome. So, what did you think of earlier? Did you have a good time?" the Spy asked.

"It was great! I was actually surprised when you took me to that Italian restaurant, but I have to say I had a great time there. That, I have to admit, was really great pasta!" Nicole beamed.

"Well, I'm glad that you had a good time."

"I still don't' understand why you picked a salad. Out of all the great options they had, you picked just a salad. Why so?"

Jèrèmie frowned. "Hey! I don't tell you how to live your life, chéri."

Nicole shrugged. "I'm just messing with you again, that's all. It's okay, Jèr, I'm still your friend."

Jèrèmie grinned sheepishly. "But of course…"

"Aww, I'm sorry for making fun of you, Jèrèmie." Nicole said as she hugged the Spy.

"It's alright, I don't get offended easily," Jèrèmie explained, "I try to behave like a gentleman, after all."

Nicole laughed. "Of course you do, I'm sure you act like a 'gentleman' during your job, huh? Backstabbing people…literally, killing enemies, scaring people and such…yeah, I can see how well behaved you can be."

"At least I'm not a mad man like Léon was…"

Nicole smile instantly vanished. "That would suck if you were…then I would lock myself in my room trying to keep you out if you were like I used to with Léon…"

"Just be grateful that I'm not, and speaking of that imbecile, how is he doing?" Jèrèmie asked, giving Nicole a worried look.

"Eh, Léon's doing alright for the first couple of days, he hasn't done anything bad so far. Although I have to admit that he acts all creepy as usual, but he's fine…" Nicole shivered for a quick second as she thought of an evil RED Spy. "But…at least I don't see any TentaSpies around here…"

Jèrèmie shrugged and nodded in agreement. "True, I wonder if he straightened out like he promised. Hmph!"

Nicole looked up at the BLU Spy in surprise. "Hm? What's wrong, Jèrèmie?"

"It's just that…I still can't believe what that monster tried to do with you. Even though it's been a long time, it's too horrifying to imagine you trapped in his clutches again."

"Aw, it's alright, Jèrèmie…" Nicole gave him a gentle pat on the back. "It's all over now. Besides, you never know if Damien is trying to actually change or not right at this moment…" Nicole explained, trying to hide her unsure expression.

"You're right," Jèrèmie nodded. "Let's just hope for the best."

"That's the spirit! And let's try to make this day better!" Nicole cheered gleefully, "I wonder if anyone else will think that you're a burglar or a robber just like that one guy from before." she smirked.

"Ugh…" Jèrèmie moaned, "Please don't remind me…"

"Alright then…Hey! Wait a minute! I got an idea what we could do next!"

"Very well then, but we have enough time to do one more thing before we get you back home."

Nicole nodded in understanding. "Have you ever gone ice-skating before?"

Skaters of all sorts zipped by on the thick ice as Nicole tried to stay on her feet. "Wow, how long has I been since I've done this? Hey, Jèrèmie! Where are you? No wait! Let me guess…right behind me?"

"No, but jou were close that time." Jèrèmie chuckled as he gracefully glided across the ice. "Hm, at least the stakes fit just fine. How about you?"

Nicole shrugged. "I guess they're okay, but I'm too busy trying to stay standing. Man, you look so natural doing it! Have you really done this before?"

"I…can't recall."

Nicole frowned. "Alright then...I haven't done this since I was at least five. I think my parents took me here once. So, do you like Rockefeller Center?"

"Oui, it's very nice, especially with the snow and Christmas décor all around."

"Yeah…Whoa!" Nicole gasped as she nearly lost balance as she skidded across the ice. "That was too close."

"Careful there, chéri, try not to fall."

Nicole smirked. "I'm working on it…" she carefully made little steps towards Jèrèmie. "Just need a bit more time is all…"

"Take all the time you need, but I'm afraid we don't have much time." Jèrèmie said with a small smirk.

"I'm trying!"

"Oh, and by the way, I need to remind you that this was your idea."

Nicole gave the Spy a confused look. "How come?"

"I don't know, just in case you start to blame on something…or someone." Jèrèmie answered, giving her a peculiar look.

Nicole sighed, smiling shyly. "Sorry I'm getting all worked up, Jèrèmie…it's just that I didn't expect ice-staking to be this difficult…" Suddenly, being just a few feet from Jèrèmie, her right foot slipped, causing her to fall right on her back. "Ahh, geez…"

Immediately, Jèrèmie rushed to Nicole's side. "Chéri! Are you alright?"

Nicole nodded. "Yeah…I-I'll be fine, don't worry."

Jèrèmie nodded and held out his gloved hand. "Here, I do believe you need a hand."

Nicole grabbed his and allowed him to help her back on her feet. "Thanks, I appreciated that."

"Now, may I please help you with this? It seems you're still not getting this right."

Nicole blushed and shrugged her shoulders. "Okay, just as long as you don't make me fall."

"Jou 'ave my word, chéri." Jèrèmie grinned, tracing an 'x' over his heart. "You know, you're blushing again."

"I…am?" Nicole asked, feeling more embarrassed than before.

"Oui, you are. Are you feeling alright?"

Nicole laughed weakly. "Yeah! Yeah! I'm just a bit humiliated from the fall I just took."

"Aw, don't worry about it, ma cher, everyone makes mistakes, even I make mistakes." Jèrèmie admitted.

"There you go again, Jèr, you're tying to make feel better about myself." Nicole sighed.

"What are you talking about? I'm being completely honest. I make all sorts of mistakes, like disguised as the wrong class, caught while trying to take the Intelligence, and sometimes I do a terrible acting job right in front of the enemy team while I'm in disguise. It's down right embarrassing once you think about it…"

"Yeah, I guess you're right. You did it again! You made me feel a lot better."

"Good, now let's get started with skating." Jèrèmie took Nicole by her hand and began to guide her across the ice.

By instinct, Nicole clung on to Jèrèmie's right arm. "Easy, Jèrèmie, you're going to fast!"

"Calm down, I'm only trying to help."

"S-Sorry…I'm worried about falling again."

"Let me get this straight, you easily befriended a bunch of men with weapons and a corrupted mutant, but you're nervous about falling on the ice at a simple ice-rink? Hm, very strange." Jèrèmie chuckled lightly.

"Hey! It's just that we're in public! I don't want people looking at me, that's all."

"Just watch my lead and pay attention, and you'll do just fine." Jèrèmie instructed.

Nicole nodded and looked down to mimic Jèrèmie's movements. "I'm going to feel weird when we get off the ice, I hope I don't try to glide across the sidewalk." she giggled.

"Has it really been a while since you skated?" Jèrèmie asked.

"Yep, sure has, it's kind of awkward…"

"Non, not really."

Nicole looked up at the BLU Spy, who was smiling down at her. "Really?"

"Of course, you're just fine."

"Thanks! Wow, you're good at making me feel more optimistic."

"Merci, I guess it's quite a talent I have that comes quite naturally."

Nicole grinned as she skated by Jèrèmie's side across the smooth ice at the beautifully decorated center, enjoying the little moments they spent together as friends. She took a quick glance up to see snow sprinkling down on her frozen face, but she did not mind as she was with a gentleman she cared about.
