It was dark out and Racetrack was already at Tibby's. The rest of the
group was almost to the Lodging house. Jewels and Willow were laughing at
a lame joke Willow had told, Tricks was staring at them both like they were
crazy, Blink and Smudge were walking hand in hand and staring at each
other. And Jack was limping and glaring at Tricks.
They entered the lodging house, said hello to Kloppman, and ran upstairs. Myth, and Mickey came running out to see who was there. When Myth saw Tricks and Jewels she screemed.
"You guys came ta see me!" she screeched happily.
"Wow!" thought Willow, "I thought if she ever smiled her face would crack." Jewels came over to her and grabbed her arm, "C'mon, we're gonna go in the girls room and talk! We have so much catching up to do!" She tugged Willow in the room and sat next to her on the bed. Willow looked over at Mickey. She was sitting on a corner bunk and glaring at her again, why?
"Hey!" said Myth, "Where's Ivy and Smudge?"
"Ivy's at Tibby's with Racetrack" Willow offered.
"And who knows where Smudge is!" groaned Tricks, "But wherever she is she's probably with Blink somewhere!"
"Hello?" Somebody poked their head in the room. "What do you want Bumlets?" asked Jewels.
"Bumlets?" asked Mickey standing up and smiling. "Hey Mickey" said Bumlets passively, "Actually, I wanted to know if Willow wanted ta go for a walk wid me." Willow jumped up, bonking her head on the bunk above her. Jewels snickered and Mickey sank back down into her corner bunk.
Willow stood up slowly, rubbing her head, "Sure" she said. He smiled at her, she could tell he was trying not to laugh. That was nice of him.

"So" said Willow, "Why'd you want to take a walk?"
"I- umm" stuttered Bumlets, blushing, "I wanted to talk to you about something." Willow waited for him to continue. "I guess." he said quietly, "I want to get ta know ya better."
Willow blushed and smiled at him. "You want to go out with me again?" she asked.
"Kinda" he stopped walking and looked strait at her, "Willow. will- will you be me goil?" Willow's heart felt like it was doing flips, she smiled and her cheeks turned scarlet red.
"I would LOVE to be your girl" she said quietly. He reached over and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Let's git back to da lodging house" he said, "We're gonna have ta go in through da window again."
"that's okay" she said. They walked back to the lodging house hand in hand. Just before Willow was about to go into the girls lodging room she Bumlets whispered goodnight.
"Goodnight" she replied, then gave him a quick peck on the cheek before disappearing behind the door. Bumlets stood there staring at the door for a moment.
"oooh!" whispered a voice from the bunks, "Bumlets scored!"
"Shut up Blink" mumbled Bumlets. But In the darkness he was smiling.
