Thank you to ALL my WONDERFUL reviewers!
Declaimer- realized I hadn't done one of these. Not mine!
As she entered the door way, Kel was greeted with a cry of "KEL! Hello!" from Neal.
As he rushed down the stairs, Kel grinned up at him. "Why are you so flustered?" She asked.
"Oh, nothing." Neal said, like he was distracted.
"Right." Kel said sarcastically. "Now, if you don't mind, will you please move? I need to get by."

Neal's POV.
(AN- Warning- might be overly fluffy and sickening.)
As she entered, it finally hit me. She had grown up, and was a young woman. She was beautiful, in her own way. Like life sparkled around her, a glowing cloak. Her eyes glowed.
Little did she know, she had me tongue tied. Perfect.
"Right this way, my dear lady." I said, with a flourished bow. What can I say? My drama teacher says I'm a natural.
As she passed, she grinned up at me. Not a very big distance. Her eyes flashed with, what? Mirth? Something else?
Yup - it's official. My heart was now one big gooey lump in my chest. Just peachy isn't it?
As we walked up the hall in silence. Then up the couple of steps into the kitchen, I called out.
"Mom? Dad? Kel's here!"
There was a flurry of activity, as my parents, my younger brother, and one of my younger sisters came into the kitchen.
"Kel! Darling! Welcome!" My mother cried. Honestly, you would think that she hadn't seen her in decades, not days.
"Thank you for letting me stay here with you. It was really kind." Kel said. Polite as always.
"Neal, show Kel her room, I'll be getting dinner ready. It will probably be done in about an hour." Mrs. Queenscove said.
With that, I picked up her bag (she protested, of course, but still), and lead her to my oldest sister's room.
"Here we are." I said as I opened the door and swung her bag onto the bed.
"Thanks Neal. Where did Stephanie go?" Kel asked, bending down.
As she bent down, her tank top didn't cover all that much.
~Wow. Kel went and grew up on me. And. Ohhh. Wow, is she HOT.~ I thought to myself.
~Holy shit. Where did that come from?~ Of course, I knew the answer.
I noticed that she was waiting for me to answer her question.
"Uh. Umm. S-She went to Washington, with her friends to see the museums."
And I was blushing, and stuttering to my best friend. How stupid can I get? Quite stupid apparently.
~!~
Kel's POV.
Why was Neal staring at me that way? It was starting to worry me.
Walking up to him, I put the back of my hand to his forehead.
"You ok Neal? You're look really hot and bothered." I said. ~ really hot. Gorgeous in fact. ~ Lets face it Kel. You've fallen for your best friend.
Sitting down on the bed, he turned to me. "Nothing's the matter with me. I'm fine." He said.
~ I'll second that one.~ I thought.
~ Kel, my dear, these thoughts have got to stop. They'll only start problems.~
I sat down next to him. We just sat there for a couple of minuets. I got up and pulled out my CD case from my bag, and went to put on one of my CDs.
I don't know what possessed him. He got up, walked over, and started twirling me around. Like in a ball room. Which is really quite strange, as this was a Good Charlotte CD. Very strange.
Then we started to dance for real. I couldn't take it any longer. I cracked up, and Neal followed. I was on the floor laughing, Neal leaning against the wall. That's where Brian found us.
Raising an eyebrow at us, Brian walked over to us. "Kel? Maybe Merric was right. What are you on?"
We stared. Brian and I were in the same Math class, along with Merric. Obviously they had some conversation about me that I had not known about.
"Its official. My brother and his best friend are morons. Cracked. Anyway, dinner's ready." He walked out and headed down stairs.
Neal started laughing again, sliding down the wall to sit.
"Shut it you big oaf. Lets go to dinner. God knows I'm hungry." I said. I leaned over and pulled him up.
~Strange. He's got that weird look in his eyes again.~
"Neal? I think you had better talk to your father. Are you sure you're alright?" I said, mock concerned.
And then he sighed, like he does when he sees some new school beauty.
"Ok. You're scaring me. You'll have to tell me who the new beauty is later. Lets go to dinner. I don't want to waste your mom's good food." I said, turning.
Grabbing me around the waist, he spun me around, landing a kiss softly on my lips. Startled, I froze. I relaxed after a second, letting the moment happen.
~ Oh My.~ I thought, and our lips met.
The moment was rudely ruined when Natalie yelled up the stairs for us. " Come ON! The food will get cold!"
With that, we headed downstairs, both blushing slightly.
~What just happened there? ~ I wondered as we sat down at the table.
We sat down to eat, and not a word was spoken between us.
~What the hell is happening?~ I thought as I glanced quickly over to Neal, only to find him looking at me too.
