A/N: wow I think I'm on a roll

The following Saturday all of the Camden children were running all over the house, with the exception of Mary and Lucy. They were in their room sitting on their respective beds, each with a magazine in hand.

"So he tried to kiss you?" Lucy asked from behind her article on the hottest new boy band

"Yeah, but I turned my head" Mary replied

"Why?" Lucy asked, she really couldn't understand her sister sometimes, Wilson was a total babe, and she was refusing to kiss the guy.

Mary put her magazine in her lap and sighed, "I don't know" she laid across the bed, her head hanging off the side upside-down. "I mean, we both know I've had a crush on him forever. But . . . Tawnya"

"Why do you care about Tawnya?" Lucy said setting her magazine down and flopping on Mary's bed and copied her position, "ok, so Tawnya has been gone, like 3 months now. She's obviously not coming back, so you can have him"

Mary sat up, "I can't, its just too weird"

Just then Eric opened the door, "we're all going to the pool, you've got 5 minutes, then the bus is leaving"

When he had exited Lucy had already sprinted to her dresser, "finally I get a chance to wear this new swimsuit. Do you know of any other hot lifeguards down at the pool?"

"No, and you're too young to be picking up lifeguards"

Lucy whipped around, "for your information, in the fall I will be in high school. I am practically an adult"

Mary picked up her magazine and laid back against her pillow, "whatever you say"

They came downstairs to find Simon and Ruthie standing by the door carrying an unbelievable amount of pool toys and floats. Their parents came in from the kitchen towels slung over their shoulders. Annie saw Lucy standing at the foot of the stairs, hands on hips, her sunglasses on her head. Mary was behind her in overalls and a green t-shirt. "Mare, go get dressed, we're leaving"

"Oh, I'm not going" she said nonchalantly

Annie folded her arms, "and why not?"

"She doesn't want to see Wilson" Lucy blurted

Mary shot her a look. "Why wouldn't you want to see Wilson?" Eric asked puzzled

"Ok, we're leaving," Annie said, but halfway out the door she turned to Mary, "and we're having a talk when I get back"

Mary groaned. "You can page me if you need anything, your brother is at the pool hall" Eric called as he shuffled the kids out the door.

Mary rushed up the stairs wanting to enjoy every second of being home alone. She started off by taking a nice long, hot shower. It was great to take her time, and not having a line outside the door telling her to hurry up.

She got out and wrapped a towel around herself. She was humming a song rather loudly as she danced across the hallway to her room.

A voice from behind her quickly smashed her fun. "Hey Mary" it said

She whipped around to find Wilson standing there in his red shorts, tank top, and whistle around his neck.

Mary tried to cover herself. "Uh, how did you get in?"

"Oh, Matt let me in" he told her

She had completely forgotten that Matt wasn't at the pool with her family. "Um, aren't you supposed to be…uh life guarding?" she asked

"I'm on my break, I needed to some see you"

"Um, sure… let me go get dressed ok?" she said as she scurried to her room.

Wilson watched her as she walked; her hair was wet and draped across her back. The green towel was wrapped tightly around her new curves. He had noticed the other night also; Mary Camden wasn't that gawky girl he had met in the kitchen anymore. She was a beautiful young woman,

and he was in love with her
