'before all this'

Disclaimer: I do not own any of it! I swear! I S-W-E-A-R. Phew. Okay.
A/N: GRRRRRRRR! I AM SO MAD. I spent a week convincing my dad to take me to Chapters, and I was so excited because I thought I could get the new book, but of course, THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT!! Ahh, anyways, I ordered 'Order of the Phoenix', So I guess it's okay. But I'm going to sue them if they don't get the new one in soon. I mean, they have all these fancy 'young wizard' collection boxes, but they don't have the new book...meh, oh well. I'll check on the website before I go next time, to see if it's there!

Okay, enough ranting, shout out time!
Wonder Jenny: Lol, I'm glad you put the frying pan away! Lol, Thank you! Crash and Burn huh? Maybe I'll add a song fic chapter to this story with that song, or if I write another D/R, it'll be a one shot with that song...or something, anyways. *catches it and eyes widen* Nice CHOCOLATE! You see? Chocolate, gives me sugar, so I can update faster, and then I pass out because chocolate has simple sugar, and it isin't complex, so I go to sleep, and get my rest, and then I can update sooner. It's alllllllll good! ^_^! Yay! LOTR! *shivers* Gullum! Lol, you have an inner hobbit! Very, very awesome. I wish I had one! Lol, don't plead and beg! Just keep reviewing and I shall be very happy. But um...don't use brute force either...lol ^_~
Shima and Tempis: ^_^. I'm glad you liked it! LOL, I don't get annoyed when people correct my spelling, or grammar, or whatever. Because if it's corrected, doesn't it make the fic better? Well, that's my opinion, but anyways....lol, I won't correct the french. Ahhhh! I hate my french teacher!! She's so.....BLAH! Hah. Anyways. Thanks for reviewing!
Little Lisa: YES! I love those books! I want to read the ones with their kids...cause I havn't yet. Anyways, I should have mentioned I got it out of that book, your right, but I think it was used before that book...I hope. Lol. It's a good saying, and it fit...anyways, Lol I'm glad you liked it! The gasp? Hmmm...Well, you know how the power took over him while they were watching N/K. So imagine this. Ronan's watching Nita and Kit, then suddenly, everything goes back, and when he wakes up from the blackiness, he's kissing Dairine. It's a very sudden change, you know. Lol, Don't worry, I'm not making Ronan 'regretting' kissing her or anything! ^_~. Lol, I'm gllaaaaddd. Anyways, hope you like this chapter.

Dncr119:

Chapter 1: Lol, oops! That's okay,like I said, I don't mind people correcting my mistakes.

Chapter 2: And that's okay again, because size doesn't matter, right?
Chapter 3: I shall! ^_~

"He did what?"

Dairine rolled over on her bed, looking up to face her sister, who was currently sitting in Dairine's computer chair,straddling it and bending over the back to stare at her younger sister in shock.

"He kissed me."

Saying it was embarrassing, but the soft smile on her sister's face was enough to drive away the slight hesitation she felt towards this talk. Nita got up, sat beside her sister, and hugged her. Dairine, completely shocked, hugged back in turn.

"Okay, you. I want details!"

Dairine rolled her eyes, leaning back casually, and catching herself, realizing she was lying in the same position Ronan had earlier that day. She rested one hand on Spot's would-be-head, and stared thoughtfully at the ceiling.
"Well, we were watching you and Kit argue...."

"A topic we will definatly discuss, after we finsih this talk, and then I kill you."

"And...I sort of turned to look at him...and..."

"And he kissed you?"

"Well, yeah...I guess..."

Not noticing her sister's hesitation, Nita sprang up from the bed, smiling sunnily.

"I'm happy for you, Dairi. What happened next?"

"He left..."

Dairine felt a pang of guilt. She didn't want to make it seem like he had kissed her and then walked out the door. No, it was that in order to explain why he had left so quickly, Dairine would have to tell Nita, Ronan's problems. And she wasn't about to do that without Ronan's consent. But, not quite to her surprise this time, Nita smile again, knowing, understanding. She came back to the bed, sitting down beside Dairine and putting one hand on her shoulder.

"Did I ever tell you about my first kiss with Kit?"

"I don't think so. Why?"

"Well," She started thoughtfully ahead. "It wasn't all sunshine and daisies at first."

"What do you mean?"

"We didn't talk after the kiss, for about two weeks."

"You didn't?"

"No."

"Why?"

"I can't really explain it. but everything was awkward. We didn't know if we were dating, or not.
I didn't know what to do next, and I imagine he didn't either."

"So what happened?"

Nita smiled. "We decided we were being ridiculous. And we talked."

"And then you started dating?"

"After awhile, yeah."

Dairine's eyebrows went up, and she let out a breath.

Her big sister laughed. "You though it was all easy?"

"I never really thought about it. But yeah, I always figured it would be so simple."

"Nothing about romance is simple, Dairi. It's a fact, and their's nothing you can do about it."

"So what do you suggest I do?

"Talk to him," She got up and went to the door. "It's ironic in a way, that boys are known for being the forward ones in relationships. Boys ask girls to the dance. Boys offer to pay for stuff when they go out with girls. It's stupid, but it's true. And here I am telling you to chase after his Irish ass to talk to him."

Dairine smiled and shook her head. "I've always been known to be one step ahead of you in certain things. But when it comes to the male gender, you're on top of things."

"Damn straight I am."

They grinned at eahcother.

"Well," Nita said, almost in a cheery manner. "I'm going to Kit's place."

"Isin't he here?"

She chuckled. "No, I made him leave."

"A difficult task, I'm sure."

"You have no idea."

When Nita was gone, and Dairine was given time to think, she decided to send him a message, before demanding to talk to him in person.

"Yo, Spot?"

'Eh?'

"I'm going to send a message."

'Sure thing.' A series of clicks and loading sounds were followed by his words.

'Message ready.'

Dairine took a deep breath, collecting her thoughts, and then spoke.

"Ronan...I guess I really don't know what to say to you, except that I'm sorry about today. I know you have things on your mind, so I'm not going to pester you. Mostly...I want to help you, like I said today, and I think I need your help as well. Call me if you can. Dairine."

'More?'

"Nope. That's it. Thanks Spot."

'No problem. Message sent.'

"Nice, are you tired?"

'Why?'

"I'm going out for icecream, and I thought you might like to charge while I'm gone."

'Okay.'

When her manual was plugged into the charger, she grabbed her coat and wallet, and headed down the stairs.

"Daddy?"

A call returned from the kitchen.

"Yeah, hun?"

"I'm going out for icecream, okay?"

"Alright! Be back before it gets dark, please!"

She shook her head, smiling and walked out the door.
