Authors note: Hello all! Sorry for the long time between updates... but here's another little chapter for you. I don't know if Maggie actually has a cat, but I'm going to let her have one.

And of course, when I hear a smile in her sweet voice, it just makes me smile. So, grinning like the idiot I was sure to become, I stood there. With a phone to my ear. Saying nothing. Just smiling.

"Uhm... Hello?" Lily questioned. I think her smile was a lot lessened.

"Hi! Yeah! I'm here! No, not busy tonight... are you? Cause if you are, I'm not busy tomorrow night either. I'm available anytime you need me! Yup!" Oh... I did not just do that... I hit my head a few times on the wall very quietly to get myself out of rambling fool mode.

She giggled ever so slightly, probably so that Ray wouldn't hear and think she was flirting. She was flirting, right?

"No, I'm free tonight. Thought maybe you might want to catch a movie with me?"

"Yeah, definitely! Which one? I'm not really for any of those really cute ones, but if that's what YOU want to see, then okay! Cause I can understand how some of those more intense movies would be a mood wrecker and..." ARG! What's come over me?! I cut myself off and took a deep breath, signaling to her that I was going to shut up now.

"Ooo, and what kind of mood would that be, Maggie?" She questioned coyly.

"Uhm..." Think, think! I need something clever to say, and I need it now! Why was I suddenly half brain dead?

"Well, the song is about over... I'll come by your house, around 7? Then from there we can walk and talk. Okay?"

I started to nod. "Uhm, is that okay?" she questioned yet again.

"Yes! Oh, sorry, I spaced there for a second... I'll see you then!" I clicked the end call button the second I got the phone away from my ear. I sighed and flopped down on my bed.

"What was that, Maggie? Any stone like image I had built up with her has been completely demolished, in what, 90 seconds? She probably thinks I'm a babbling idiot now."

My cat jumped onto my bed and rubbed against my arm. "What do you think, Stormy?" I scratched the top of her head and she started to purr like crazy. I smiled. Stormy was just like me. She acted like she didn't care about anyone else, she ignored everyone else that lived in this house. But when it was just her and me, it all changed. She turned into a little kitten again. And that's what I loved about her. She acted different to me, and that meant I was more special to her than anyone else.

Hmm... acting different because I'm more special... if Lily thinks at all the same way that I do, she's probably realized that she's more special to me than anyone else because when it's just her and me, I act completely different.

"Ha! I understand now! Thanks for helping me feel better Stormy." I kissed the top of her head and stood up. She meowed, sad that I wasn't giving her attention now. I looked at her and blew her a little kiss and she jumped off my bed and off to her cat bed. She understands I have other things to do.

I walked over to my closet. "I don't think she'll be to picky about what I wear. Black. I like black. Who doesn't like black? No one. So that's what everyone is going to get!" I pulled out a floor length black skirt, long sleeve black button down, and some army boots. To goth? I'm not actually a goth. I just like black. Well, everyone else can label me, but I don't care. I'll dress how I please. I put on the clothes and waited for 7 to come around.

Time passed very slowly... but finally I heard the doorbell ring. After a quick good bye to my parents, I went to greet her. She had on her regular clothes too, but somehow, she looked different... more special. She's so cute. I wanted to hug her so tight that I might break one of her ribs! But I had to contain myself. It was going to be a long night...
