Author Notes: FINALLY! Some romance!

Chapter 14 – Christian

Aka – A second Chance?

Chance number two! Here we go. This time it'll be perfect! Bri's out Holly's out, so it's jut Danny, Dani, and me! Danny won't be a problem, because he's an accomplice. You see, this is how I'll do it. I'll get us in the living room and when Danny leaves, start a talk up about relationships, then I'll pop the question! It'll be perfect!

Dani just pissed off Pen-Pen, so he was in a bloody drunken rampage. He was running around, running into anything and everything. Then he hit a small table with a lamp on it. The lamp fell, hit him in the head and knocked him out. Oh yeah, the lamp was fine.

"It's about time!" Dani said. "I couldn't here the TV over his yelling."

"Bt it's fun watching a drunk penguin run around screaming." Danny said back, "At least I found it hilarious."

"Get up so I can sit." I said to Dani.

"Oh yeah? Make me!" So I jarred my fingers in between her ribs and tickled her. I swear, she' the cutest thing when she squirms! So she started wiggling around, and when she finally let enough space get free, I quickly jumped into the spot. When I stopped she was still lying down, only I was under her now.

"Hey, no fair!" She said to me.

"Oh well, you'll get over it!"

"Your lap makes a comfortable pillow." She said back.

"God you two! You act like y'all are four!" Danny said to us. "well, I'll be in my room. Call for me when Holly gets back with the pizza."

"Alright man." I said, and so he left. "So what's in the tele tonight?" I started looking for the remote. "Where's the damn remote?"

"Looking for this?" she said, holding the remote in her right hand out towards the TV.

"Can I have it please?" I said in a flirtatious manner.

"You're gonna have to earn it!" Dani said, flirting back. I grabbed for the remote, but failed. "You're gonna have to try harder than that!" so we started wrestling for the remote. Damn she's fast! It must have been at least five minutes before I actually got a hand on the remote, but I couldn't get it out of her hands.

"Come on, give it up!" I said.

"NEVER!" We continued to wrestle for control of the remote. Then the oddest thing happened. I ended up on top of her, and we were face to face. She was about half an inch away from my face. I swear the pheromones were flying like hell! WE were just staring into each others eyes. We must have been there at least a full minute, just staring. So I decided to try it. I went to try to kiss her, and just then, JUST THEN, Holly arrives back from the pizza place. "I'm back!" She said.

Dani and I quickly jumped away, now on opposite ends of the couch. Luckily, Holly didn't see anything………I think.

"Danny, pizza's here!" I called out to him. I heard him say faintly. "Alright, thanks!"

"Anything interesting happen while I was gone?" Holly asked.

"Pen-Pen knocked himself out with a lamp." Dani said.

"………So nothing then?" she made it sound like a drunk penguin getting knocked out by a lamp was a regular happening.

"Let's eat." I said.

I went over to the counter and grabbed a few pieces. Danny and Dani followed soon after. I sat back on the couch on the left side. Dani sat on the right side. Danny and Holly sat at the table in the kitchen. Danny and Holly got into some weird discussion which I knew nothing about. But it must have been funny, because they were laughing their asses off. Dani and I said absolutely nothing throughout dinner. After dinner, I went into my room and began listening to music of some sort. It was an odd radio station, but it played good music. I stood at the bookcase leaning against it with my eyes closed. I recalled exactly what was going though my mind when I tried to Kiss Dani………

*What are you waiting for? Here's your opportune moment, take it!* After that thought, my mind drifted to the thought of when I decided to leave Earth. *You said you wanted a better life………here's your opportune moment! Take it!* And then I thought to myself, *Why'd you do it, dumbass (Try to kiss Dani, that is)!? Now she's probably Never--* My train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a pressing on my mind. My thoughts were back on the couch with Dani, only we actually kissed. I could actually feel the kiss, her body pressing against mine. I swore it was real, like the hands of time turned back and we were there again. Then I opened my eyes………

I wasn't on the couch. I was still leaning on the bookcase, listening to the music, only Dani was there………

So it wasn't a dream………After a few seconds, she released her lips from mine, looked into my eyes, and walked out in a fast pace, without so much as a word.

So it wasn't a dream………
