Hello, Ami here. It is now officially the fourth day in this Fic; took me long enough. Well, I'm not sure about you, but I think I'm crazy! I have an annoying voice in my head that drives me crazy and gives me killer headaches! Well, I hope you like the chapter. Bye^_^

A New Thought

'Wonder what's happening to me...' the Mountain Cat thought. 'I've never felt this way about anyone. Not even Ray...' She sighed. She didn't want to think. She wasn't outside at 3 o'clock in the mourning just to think. No she was out there to watch.

"Wonder how high the stars really are..." She whispered, now certain that it would break. She looked down at a flower, and fingered it delicately. "So delicate, so easy to destroy..."

"Yet so beautiful," someone had come to watch her... Mariah turned, only to see Tyson, standing by the door, waiting for her reaction. It must have come. "You shouldn't be out here without a jacket."

"Why does it matter?" Mariah asked. "I haven't had a cold since I was three."

"Because," Tyson stated. "You might not have had a cold since you were three, but you might catch one now." Mariah looked away from him, sure that if she continued to look at him, she would fall under some spell that made her do whatever he wanted. "And don't try to worm your way out of it, because I speak from years of experience."

"Why are you out here?" Mariah wondered. "It's not like you could sense I was out here." She thought for a moment. "You can't sense where I am, right?" Tyson laughed.

"No," he smirked. "I possess no such capability. I wish I did though, it would be easier to keep you from getting a cold." He sat down on the ground, "I was out here, thinking, and Kai came out to join me." He closed his eyes, as if traveling in his past. "I just now decided to come back in, and when I noticed you, I decided to see what you were doing..." he opened his eyes, and smiled. "Do you understand?" Mariah nodded, "Good. Here," Tyson put the coat he was wearing around her, and then left to go inside.

Mariah dumbfounded. She would have guessed that Tyson, the boy that she happened to be thinking about, was out there, at 3 o'clock in the mourning, only to scold her about not wearing a coat, and giving her his...

'Wonder why fate is working overtime to make me happy...' Mariah looked up into the sky again, this time closing her eyes, and listening to the wind. 'No, not happy; I'm beyond happy...' her eyes snapped open at that thought.

"He's a very good friend," she corrected herself. "He cared enough about me to give me his coat." She stood up, and walked toward the wall that surrounded the perimeter of the house. His house. "I need to get out of here. I need to be able to breath knowing that he's doesn't know exactly where I am..." with that said, leaped the fence, and started running down the street...
