Annie stared at the wall of the tour bus, ignoring her homework lying a foot from her.

"Miss Annie, homework needs to be done before you can go anywhere, including the movies!"

"Okay Molly, thanks!" Annie said, sighing heavily. 'I'll never get this Pythagorean Theorom' she
thought, as Clu entered the bus.

"Hey Annie! What's up?"

"Just trying to get the Pythagorean Theorem. It's so confusing."

"Oh, yeah. Was hard for me too at first. Here," Clu said, grabbing her paper with the theorem
written on it," you never got the distance formula? No wonder!" He exclaimed, explaining it all
to her.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind. "I got it! Thank you so much Clu! I love you!!" she
shouted gleefully, pulling Clu off her bunk and jumping up and down, forcing him to as well. She
decided to get off the bus, not forgetting to hug Clu and thank him again.

Annie jumped off the bus, landing right on Jack.

"ANNIE!" He shouted, falling back onto the cement.

"Sorry, Jack" she muttered, feeling stupid.

"Where were you off to in such a hurry?"

"Just to the movies."

"Does mom know?"

"She said I could do whatever, as long as homework was done and I was back to the bus by 6:30."

"Do you want some company?"

"Sure!"

Jack was relieved. Maybe he'd finally have the guts to say it....

* * *

"Two for "Someone like you"." Jack said, handing the man the $20 and grabbing the tickets.

He found Annie among the crowd, and grabbed her hand, leading her towards the theater. He felt
the spark, but would it be enough to light the fire works?

"Jack?"

"Huh? Yeah, Annie?"

"You seem distracted..."

"Oh, well it's just that.."

"Oh, you don't have to explain. If it's uncomfortable for you, then I don't want you to explain
it, really."

Jack sat in silence, then started to speak again, continuing where he'd left off. "See, Annie,
it's just that I've had this crush on you since you came here, and I haven't really been able
to say it, so I held it inside. Then I didnt think you'd like me back, so I held it inside even
more. Today, when I woke up, I decided that I should tell you as soon as possible."

Just then, the lights dimmed, and the movie began. He felt Annie shift in her seat. 'Oh no. I've
scared her off forever' he thought.

At the time, though, Annie was debating her next move. He'd made the first step-she knew she'd
have to make the next. 'Kiss him? No....Grab his hand...I don't know...'She thought the second
choice was the best, and reached out to grab Jack's hand.
