A Picture is worth a thousand words.

Ro had gone home with Zee to take a shower and to get ready for tonight. She was going to show Zee how to have some fun. Though he seemed to have fun just talking to her today. They had talked about everything and more.

Zee watched the news. They had something in it about Dr. Selig signing off a government synthoid as a citizen of the United States. He had to follow the law and justice systems or there would be consequences.

Ro stepped out and sat on the arm of the sofa by him. "Hey Zee you ready?"

"Yeah. Are you?" She nodded.

"How do I look?"

"You look nice Ro." She smiled. She had always liked getting complements from Zee because she knew he wouldn't lie to her. She had fixed her hair to look nice. She curled it lightly letting it frame her face. She brushed it back and let it fall where it wanted naturally. "But you're missing something."

"What?" She asked in alarm. He stood up not revealing the silver link chain in his hand. He snaked the chain around her hair and placed the clasp on the chain turning it around so it was the right way. He took her hand and placed the bracelet on as well. "Zee you got these for me?"

"Yeah."

"Oh thank you." She hugged him. Ro's mother stepped out.

"Oh don't you two look cute. Here let me take a picture."

"Mom."

"Come on Ro you haven't let me take a picture since Adam." Zee picked Ro up in his arms. She shrieked in surprise but Ro's mother took a picture with Ro's arms around Zee's neck and Zee just smiling simply. "Alright you two have fun."

Zee placed her back on the ground. "You should really warn me when you're going to do that."

"Sorry couldn't resist."

"Ha tin man's got a twisted sense of humor."

Ro showed Zee to a diner that she liked to go. It was the ninety's diner. It was the weirdest thing. It would have all the styles of the nineties. Which was probably anything you could imagine. There was rap, rock, pop, Latino, alternative and probably another fifty different styles.

She had fun goofing off there. She worked there for a while at one time but stopped. She showed Zee in. "Zee this is my favorite restaurant."

"Why?"

"You'll see." They stepped in to hear the song "Jump Around." By House of Pain playing.

"How many in your party?"

"Two."

"This way." They sat down in a booth.

"This is your favorite restaurant Ro?" He thought it odd but then Ro had told him she would never be normal.

"Yeah."

"What will you orders be?

"I'll have a cherry coke and a the cheese burger special."

"Alright anything for you sir?"

"No thank you I'm just here for her."

"Alright that will do."

"Come on Zee let's see if you know any of these songs." They looked at the lists of songs. Ro picked out a few she liked. Mostly old rap songs since her old boyfriend Adam got her hooked onto it. Zee recognized a few of them but not many. They both sat down back in their booth.

"Zee I better apologize right now."

"Why?"

"I'm sure my friends are going to flirt with you."

"Flirt?"

"Yeah kind of like to show they really like you."

"Maybe I should flirt with you then?" Ro blushed lightly.

"Zee trust me you do enough of that."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know I was."

"No it's kind of funny." She said taking a sip of her cherry soda.

"They wouldn't give me any cherry cola root beer here."

"You really like those?"

"Yeah it's all my favorites together. It's not that bad. So I had to deal with just a cherry coke, I think I'll live."

"The more I learn about you the more I get confused."

"You're not dealing with any ordinary girl Zee. You'll just have to learn that I'm full of surprises."

"Yeah I think I knew that when you came back."

"Zee I think I'm going to teach you to dance tonight."

"Dance?"

"Yeah because my friends I am sure are going to try to dance with you. Just stay with me and you probably won't get in any trouble."

"They're behavior was very peculiar. Is that how they act around all guys they think as 'cute'?"

"Yeah. I think so. Haven't seen them keep their cool around any other guy."

"You do? I mean keep your cool around 'cute' guys?"

"Most of the time I don't think about it."

"Oh."

"So has anything changed among the NSA agents?"

"No, West is still angering Bennet and Agent Lee is there to separate the two."

"I saw them a few times."

"Why?"

"Just checking up on me trying to find leads but I didn't know anything."

"They didn't hurt you did they?"

"No just asked me a few questions. Don't worry Zee I'm still here."

"I'm just worried Ro."

"Yeah I know Zee." Ro thought Zee was way too protective. He was sweet though always trying to protect her. He wasn't like that about others though. Perhaps it was because she was his best friend. She saw from the corner of her eye the reflection of the silver link chain necklace.

They started talking about what Ro had done in the last few years. She told him everything knowing he wouldn't settle for less. During the time she got her food and ate it. Talking in between whenever she could.

"Ro can you teach me to dance?"

"You want to learn how to dance?"

"You said you would."

"Okay. I guess you. Okay watch that guy over there. See how he's swaying to the music." She pointed to a couple dancing over by the jukebox.

"Yeah?"

"Well that's how you do it."

"Really that's all?"

"Yeah but there's different ways just watch others I suppose. I'll teach you more at the bowling alley. They have some fun dances."

"Oh what's a slow dance?"

"Where did you hear that?"

"At the softball game someone mentioned how they went to somebody's house and slow danced all night."

"Oh yeah that was probably Tyler's party. It's what couples usually do. Sometimes friends do it too if they don't have a boyfriend."

"Could I slow dance with you one time?"

"Yeah sure sometime." He couldn't wait to try it. They left for the bowling alley Zee paying for the dinner.

When they got there Ro rented some bowling shoes. Zee had to just change his hologram. They started out pretty bad mostly getting gutterballs or low pin counts.

Ro watched as Zee attempted to bowl. He was a little better than Ro but not by much. He looked at it. He watched a person down a few lanes. He was making it spin perhaps if he did that too then he would get all the pins to knock over. He threw his sixteen pounder at a good speed and had a spin on it. The pins all fell over with a loud thundering sound. "You did it Zee. You got a strike."

"Yeah now I understand."

"It only took you nine frames." She teased him. She went up picking up the bowling ball. She threw it at an angle and got a strike as well.

"It only took you ten frames to get a strike."

"Yeah and I won two more turns." She bowled a nine pins. She sat down seeing Zee bowl another three strikes.

"You got a turkey Zee."

"Is that bad?"

"Nope. It's really good."

"Oh okay."

"Hey Ro." She turned to see her friends. They were with their boyfriends and their friends. Perhaps tonight wouldn't be too embarrassing. She turned to see the guy that had been trying to get her to go out for weeks. Warren Kings. He was on her track team.

"Hey guys."

"Hi Ro who's you're friend?"

"Oh Warren this is Zee."

"Hello Zee, are you new around here?"

"No I'm just here for a visit."

"Yeah I was trying to show him a good time."

"Well he came to the most exciting place in twenty miles." He said smirking at the guy. He wasn't going to let that weirdo take his girl. "Hey Ro can I buy you a drink?"

"No thanks Warren." She smirked. He was trying to hide his jealousy. He had nothing to be jealous of really. Zee wouldn't consider her his girl or anything. At least she hoped he wouldn't.

"Oh it's my turn I suppose I should go bowl." Ro went up to bowl.

Warren turned to Zee. "Don't even think about hitting on my girl."

"I wouldn't hit her."

"Yeah I didn't think so." Zee was bewildered why that boy thought he was going to hit Ro.

Ro hung around Zee pretty much ignoring Warren that night. He was pretty ticked off. Trying to pick a fight with Zee. Soon it came for the bowling alley's traditional one and only slow dance for the night. Everyone would stop bowling for a little bit and have one slow dance with who ever they wished to dance with.

Warren tried getting Ro but Ro already had her arms snaked around Zee's neck. He smiled down at her. "Zee place your arms around my waist."

"Oh like this."

"Yeah that's it. You catch on quickly."

"Well you're a good teacher."

"Here I'll show you how to spin me around." She took one of his hands and spun around.

"Like that?"

"Yup." He danced with her for a while before spinning her again. He pulled her close again.

"I like slow dancing."

"Why?"

"Because I'm close to you."

"Stop it Zee."

"What?"

"You're embarrassing me."

"What am I not suppose to like being close to my friends?"

"Well your not this close to any one else are you?"

"No you're my best friend."

"Zee you're clueless."

"What?"

"Never mind." She shook her head resting it on his chest. The song slowly ended. She pulled away.

"Alright finish up your games because it's already one thirty in the morning." The announcer said over the intercom. Ro and Zee finished their game before saying their good-byes. Ro was ready to fall asleep as she finally realized how tired she was.

"Ro you want a ride on my back?"

"Yeah I'll stand up on this chair and get on." She had taken off her bowling shoes but held her socks and platform shoes in her hand. Zee held her under her knees and she wrapped her arms around his neck not worried about choking him.

Shea and Sega watched as the two left. "I think Ro's found a new boyfriend."

"I think she's found two that are going to fight against each other."

"Hey they're both sweet."

"I think Warren will win her over first if this Zee leaves for a while."

"Zee seemed to be winning today."

"Yeah but what will happen when Ro gets lonely while he's gone?"

"I don't know. But I don't think Ro will let Zee leave easily."

"Nope you got that right."
