AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm sorry my english is not as good as it should be... also, I learned British english, so that's the reason few words may have different spelling...;-))).(mum is really the right spelling in British english... I didn't know in American english it's mom). I'm sorry about that.
"Hey Clu? Have I already shown you *this* picture?" Jack voice echoed in the room the boys were sharing.
"I think so, Jack," Clu answered with sleepy voice.
"And what about this one?" Jack put one photograph of dark haired girl right to Clu's face: "Do you like that one?"
"Sure, dude," Clu said and sighted. From the time Jack got a new girlfriend, he hardly talked about anything else. He was surely in love with that girl, but Clu was already sick of it. Nothing, just Claire.
"Oh, have I told you, she is coming to see us this weekend?" Jack broke his thoughts
Clu nodded, but before he could say anything else the phone rang. Jack quickly picked it up. His eyes twinkled: "Claire! I'm sooo happy to hear you."
Clu rolled his eyes and quickly left the room to leave Jack alone... well, alone. With his girlfriend.
"What's wrong with you, bro'?" Carey lifted his eyes from Fi's laptop and looked at Clu who sat next to him.
"I'm bored," Clu simple answered: "What are you doing?"
"Chatting," Carey looked back on computer screen.
Clu looked there as well, but Carey quickly closed the laptop and blushed: "I don't think I let you read it."
"OK... I don't want to fight *you*," Clu smiled and looked out from the window.
"I think, you need a girl," Carey suddenly said. He already opened the comp and typed something. Probably was saying "Bye" to his chat friend, because then he closed the computer and turned to his brother.
"Do you think I feel bored because I don't have girlfriend?"
"No... I think you are just jealous, because Jack has a girlfriend... but honestly. Did you already have a girlfriend?" Carey looked at him.
"I... did. But..." Clu was uncomfortable with this conversation, so he quickly changed the subject: "You won't need the computer now, right?"
"No, why?"
"I'll give it back to Fi," Clu grabbed the laptop and was about to leave.
"Oh... Fi. Good idea, bro'. She is smart, beautiful... and I think she likes you," Carey winked.
"Carey, please..." Clu said and left.
The knock on the door disturbed Fi who was writing her diary. She hided it under her pillow and called: "Come in!"
"Uh, hi... your computer," Clu opened the door and handed her the comp.
"Thanks, I was waiting for it already," she took it and smiled. She opened it and connect on internet.
"What are you looking for?" Clu looked at the screen.
"I just read an article about Scotland and you know, they have plenty of weird stuff in that country," Fi said while she was browsing the pages. She stopped on one and turned the screen to Clu: "This is Nessie. People believe it lives in the Loch Ness lake... and this is Stonehenge."
"That's interesting, but why? We are not going there, so you can't really research it," Clu asked.
"No... I just was bored, so I was reading," she explained and closed the computer: "Do you want to go to the cinema?"
"Oh... yeah," Clu answered surprised and stood up.
"Good, we'll meet in 10 minutes, ok?" she said and let Clu walk out of the door.
Carey just started to play his guitar when Clu walked inside. Carey looked at him and smiled: "So, you're having a date."
"A date? No," he laughed back: "I'm going to cinema."
"You combed your hair properly and...," Carey sniffed: "... used MY..."
"Carey, I'm just going with Fi," Clu interrupted him.
"I thought so," Carey said with mysterious smile.
"Well, it's not a date, but I can look... nice," Clu explained.
"OK, but next time... buy your own stuff and don't use mine, ok?" Carey laughed and looked behind his brother where Fi was already standing: "Wow, Fi... you look amazing."
"Hey... I was supposed to say that!" Clu looked aggrieved.
"You wanna go with us?" Fi asked.
"Are you crazy... I don't want to spoil your DATE," Carey laughed.
"It's not a date!" they both said at once and started to laugh.
Clu and Fi came to the cinema half an hour before the movie started. Clu bought tickets and Fi bought a big bowl of popcorn.
"What movie did you chose?" Fi asked when Clu came to the shop.
"Scary movie!" he chuckled.
"Scary movie - the title or the genre?" Fi laughed back.
"The title... I thought you might like something funny," he explained.
"Yeah, sure... that's great idea," she smiled and let him to take her inside the cinema. Clu got tickets to the last row and even thought it was not very late, the cinema was almost empty. Fi noticed around five pairs of young people seated around. She sat comfortably and looked at Clu, who was trying to find better position. She smiled and looked at the screen where the advertisements already started. Clu lent closer to Fi and whispered: "I'm sure you'll like it!"
"I hope so," she smiled, but didn't look back at him.
The lights went off and the movie started. They were practically laughing the whole time. Except few minutes when Fi accidentally grabbed Clu's hand and held it for a while. Clu obviously didn't mind, but Fi immediately went red as tomato. She was glad it was dark there, so Clu didn't notice.
"Do you want this popcorn?" Clu touched Fi's hand just seconds before they put the light back.
"No, thanks," she said and turned her hand on the other side. *Why I'm so red,* she thought.
Clu just shrugged and put all into his mouths. Fi sighted and turned back. She burst into tears from laugh. Clu quickly swallowed and asked innocently: "What's happened?"
"Nothing, lets go," she grabbed his shoulder and pushed him out of the door.
"I'm the murderer and I'll kill you!" On their way back, Clu couldn't stop joking. He grabbed Fi from behind and encircled him arms around her waist. He pulled her up and whispered to her ear with devilish voice: "Now, I'm gonna eat you!"
"Eat? Hey... I'm not very tasty," she laughed.
"Well... maybe I won't eat you... maybe you can be my... sexual slave," he didn't give up.
"Sex... Clu, I think you need cold shower," Fi smiled and squirmed: "Let me walk, please."
"What if not?" Clu laughed.
"I'll kick your butt!"
"OK... I'll give up," he smiled and let her go. They were walking side by side for a while, when Clu looked into darkness by his left: "What's that?"
"What?" Fi was curious.
"There," he pointed into the bush and moved there. Fi slowly looked around and followed him. He disappeared from her sight.
"Clu?"
"I'm here!" he said and pointed in front of them: "See... the lights."
Fi shivered. It reminded her Bricriu. She walked to the bush full of lights and shook it. She turned back to Clu and smiled: "These are just lighting-bugs!"
"Oh... I thought it would be will-o'-the-wisp... or something like that," Clu said and took Fi's hand: "Lets go back."
"Yeah, you're right," she said and followed him back on path.
"So, where were we?" he asked with smiled still holding her hand.
"Clu... I'm tired and kinda cold," she shivered.
"Then let me warm you up," he said and put his arm around her shoulder: "Is it better?"
"Much better," she said and felt her cheek flushing again.
"We are almost there."
"Yeah... Clu, before we reach the bus... I'd like to thank you for a wonderful evening," she turned and looked into his eyes.
"Anytime," he smiled. She smiled back and gently hugged him. They were standing there in each other's arms; her head on his chest and his head lied on her shoulder. He slowly turned his head and kissed her cheek. She quickly pushed him back.
"What are you doing?"
He didn't answer, just lent against her and pressed his lips on hers. He gently touched her hair and run his fingers thought it. Fi was shocked at first, but she didn't break the kiss. She liked it. Clu finally broke the kiss and now was waiting for the flood of swearing. But Fi was quiet. Then she looked at him: "Did you mean it?"
"Yes."
Clu waited until Fi closed the door on her room and only then opened the door on his and Jack's. Jack was still sitting on the bed, looking at photos and he looked like an idiot. As he noticed Clu, he quickly jumped up and showed him three new pictures: "What do think of these?"
Clu looked at them, moved to the table and was looking for something for a while. He found a photo that he took and put on top of Jack's pictures: "I like this one."
Jack looked first at the picture, then at Clu, back at the picture and shook his head: "Clu... that's my sister!"
