When the alarm went off at 6:00, the two slowly came to. Julie rolled over and ended up halfway on top of Portman. "Good morning babe."

"Morning," Julie replied.

Dean shifter them both so that she was fully on top of him. "We should get ready to leave."

"We could, but then we'd have to get up," Julie responded.

"Hmm, staying in bed with you all day is something I could do."

"Let's move people," Anthony shouted from the hall.

By 7:00, all six were dressed and in the cars. Around noon they stopped for lunch. They then drove the final two hours to Eden Hall Academy. As they drove up to the dorms, all of the Ducks were there waiting for them. Dean placed the car in park and the two jumped out and joined their friends. Connie and Julie hugged and Connie whispered in Julie's ear, "I though you were joking at first when you told my about you and Portman."

"Dude," Fulton whispered to Portman, "I thought you were kidding about you and Catlady."

The Portman's and Samantha stepped out of the Blazer and Portman introduced everyone. "So," Dean started, "who wants to help carry all of this stuff up?"

"Connie and I will take my stuff," Julie said. When Portman shot her a look she continued, "besides I helped carry it all down AND pack it in the cars."

"Yeah, plus we need to catch up on EVERYTHING," Connie added.

"Alright," Dean said as he opened the trunk. Before he took anything out, he pulled her into a kiss. "I'll call you soon," he said breathlessly.

"You'd better." As they took everything out, they handed it to someone. Julie and Connie took Kate, Samantha, and Mrs. Portman to Julie's room while everyone else went to Portman's.

"Hey Portman," Charlie said, "how long have you and Catlady been together?"

"She came to Chicago three weeks ago, we started 'dating' two weeks ago, she went home a week ago, and came back to Chicago yesterday," Portman answered as he opened a box and started unpacking.

"And can I say that it's about time," Fulton said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Portman asked.

"Please," Luis said, "you two have been flirting since you first met."

In Julie's room, the five were telling Portman stories. Connie was telling them about Portman stripping in the penalty box his first game freshmen year, when the phone rang. "Hello," Julie said as she answered it.

"Hey babe, how's it going?" Portman asked from his room.

"Pretty good," she answered. "You?"

"I could be better."

"How's that?"

"You could be here."

"I'm just down the hall."

"That's the problem," he whispered.

"So what's up?"

"Well, I'm all done here, and my dad was wondering if all of you wanted to go out to eat."

"Let me ask them," she said, then turned to everyone in the room. "Mr. Portman wanted to know if we all wanted to go out to eat."

Everyone nodded yes except Connie, "Guy and I have a date."

Picking the phone back up she said, "your mom, Kate, Samantha, and I all say 'sure!' Connie and Guy have a date."

"Well then, we'll pick you up in a few minutes."

"Okay."
