~*Next Day*~
They'd killed off Manda. The evil anyways. Julie sat on a swing in the park during the day, recollecting the events of the past few days.

"Hey you ok?" Patrick asked as he walked over and started pushing Julie on the swing

"Peachie.." Julie said stoping him from pushing,"Please don't do that."

"Sorry," Patrick said sitting on the one next to her,"What's wrong?"

"Nothing.. just trying to process everything." Julie sighed.

"it bothers you that he still cares about her doesnt it" he said as if he were reading her mind

"Just a little.."She said with a short sigh.

"well the fact she tried to do in the world should sway him a little" he said

"I don't beleive that to be true to any point.." Julie sighed.

"what he thinks shes all innocent?" he asked

"Patrick, he loved her more than his heart could handle." Julie said looking at him,"So his love is going to go on no matter what I try doing."

"so what are you gonna do? Try to rough it out with him?" He asked

"No. I'm just gonna let it be and go on with my miserable life." She replied looking across the park.

"come on lets walk, its a beautiful day" Patrick said as he extended his hand to help Julie up.

"Well.. ok." Julie said getting up and walking with Patrick.

"so hows the slayage, besides well the slayage part" he asked not making any sence to himself

"Decent I guess. I'd call it my daily exersize even though I do it at night."

"Can i come with sometime, maybe just me and you" he said

"Maybe." Julie said,"I don't want you getting hurt or Dawn would have my neck."

"hey its ok, sometimes dawn can get clingy, i am not really like that, " he said

"She likes you a lot though." Julie looked at him, his blue eyes glistening in the sun.

"Yeah i like her too but i just dont think that high school is a time for a SERIOUS like relationship, you know what i mean?" He said

"Yeah but she's a senior and I guess will probably want a boyfriend over the summer. But I myself am going to die before I reach 23 so what do I care?"

"You should live everyday like its your last no matter who you are, do what makes you happy" he said

"If that were anyway possible I wouldn't be slaying, I'd be on a boat to the carribian." Julie said folding her arms.

"so go, Dawn patrols, who says you have to be a 'Slayer'" he said

"The council. Plus I dont want my best friend to kill herself."

"oh understandable, isnt the lake pretty" he said as they passed the lake

"Looks better under moonlight," Julie said.

"well then show it to me" Patrick said as they took a seat on a bench and waited for nightfall.

(Will Patrick and Julie blossom a relationship? Will Dawn still be Patrick's girlfriend? RR!!!)
