A/N: Look, I know this is really really short but it's been this long for a few days and I don't see anything else being written anytime soon...so I thought I'd post it and see what happens. Maybe my creativity needs a kick. By the way, if you read this, review it. If you like it, review. If you hate it, review. If you didn't, review. If you can read, review. On that note--thanks to all the wonderful caring beautiful people who reviewed!

A little while later, Nita was watching Kit finish a burrito. He looked up, and she blushed.
Idiot! Why'd you hafta blush?
Kit grinned. "What?" Nita asked, a little too defensively. "Nothing," said Kit, "except you've got some taco sauce smeared on your chin." Nita colored furiously and pretended to drop her napkin so she could dive under the table. When she came up again, Kit had finished his burrito. "I'll take these," she said, grabbing the trash. "No, it's ok." Kit tugged the bundle away from her. Nita rolled her eyes. "Don't go all 'gentleman' on me, Kit."
"Why not?"
"It's not-—not you."
"So I'm not a gentleman?"
"Well—-of course you—-no-—that's not what I meant!" Nita could feel the tension rising in her, but then she realized Kit was laughing.
"Sorry, Neets, I couldn't resist."
"Forgiven." Nita smiled.
There was a silence, and Nita dropped the smile abruptly, feeling foolish.
"Hey, do you have anything to do today?" asked Kit.
"No, I don't think so...why?"
"I can't stand being in the house while Mela's got her music on, so I thought we could go down to the arboretum."
"The what?"
"Oh come on, Neets, the arboretum! It's this huge park thing with lots of trees. Ponch loves it."
"I'll bet." Nita grinned. "Any squirrels?"
Kit just laughed. "Guess. So, you wanna go? We can be back by six."
Nita shrugged. "Sure."
Kit grabbed her hand and she felt him line up a spell for both of them in his head. The next instant, the air imploded into the space they used to occupy.
