"Angel, huh?" Neal asked, turning his charm on. "A perfect name for such a perfect lady. Don't you think?" he asked Dom, who rolled his eyes.

"That angel just tried to kill us. More like she-demon," he muttered under his breath. Unfortunately, Kel heard him and punched him smartly on the shin. "Whaddai do?" He asked, putting on a "Neal" face. Kel just shook her head, not in the mood for laughter.

Joren glanced at her. It wasn't like Kel to be mean to her friends. He silently took her hand, rubbing it gently. Kel relaxed, and sighed.

Dom watched this display of affection with jealousy burning in his eyes. There was no way that they could be…together. No way. Kel hated Joren, and he hated her. Yes, that's right. Nothing could ever change that. Plus, he was Kel's friend. One of her best. He could read her like a book.

These thoughts made Dom relax, and he glanced at Neal, who was absorbed in conversation with Angel. While he was looking at Neal, he didn't see Joren raise Kel's hand to his lips, then lace his fingertips through hers. Nor did he see Kel smile at him.

Angel, however, did. Something is defiantly going on between them, and that poor bastard had no clue, she thought, smirking. Dom rolled his eyes when he realized that Neal was reciting poetry to Angel, and she wasn't paying attention at all.

She looks like a slut, Dom thought, giving Angel a once over distastefully. Her clothes were way to revealing.

"I'm not a slut," Angel said, looking at Dom. She seemed shocked that she had just said it out loud. Dom, however, looked like he was about to die.

Did she just read my thoughts? Dom thought, going into panic mode.

Duh, smart one, he heard Angel's voice in his head. How else would I know what you thought of me? Don't worry, I have no romantic interest in you, it's just that your cousin over here is about to make me puke if I listen to his poetry any longer. Think you could help me? Dom smirked.

What would you do for me?

Gah..stupid male race…always thinking for yourselves. Okay, hun, I tell you what. You get your cousin over here to stop saying how my eyes look as blue as the clouds in the sky, speaking of which doesn't he realize that clouds are WHITE, and I won't make your life a living hell. I know all of your secrets, he heard her say, and saw her look pointedly at Kel, who had removed her hand from Joren's so that she could look at the map. All of them. Pick. You have 3 seconds to make up your mind. I'm not the one with something at stake here, just my ears. 3…2….

OK, OK, I'll do it! Dom thought. Angel smiled sweetly.

"Sweet Angel who's eyes look as blue as clou-" Neal began, before Dom cut him off.

"Look, Neal, I found a band-aid," he said. Neal's eyes lit up. He dropped her hand and pounced on Dom.

"WHERES A BAND-AID? I love band-aids. I collect them. I have a red one, a blue one, a yello-"

"That's enough, Neal," Angel purred, pulling him off Dom.Neal looked at her. She smiled sweetly and pulled him over to a chair, putting on his seat belt for him. "I wouldn't want my sweet little Neal to get into a terrible accident, now would I?" she said, running her fingers through his hair. Neal smiled and shook his head, looking happy and content to have Angel so close to him.

Thanks, Dom thought. Angel captured Neal's lips with hers.

No problem. He's cute. As long as he doesn't recite poetry to me…ooh. He's a good kisser too, on top of it all. He has soft lips…and a strong tongue, Angel mind spoke, opening her mouth to Neal for better access. Dom grabbed a plastic bag full of groceries, dumped it out, and puked into it. Kel unbuckled her seat belt, and climbed into the back, rubbing his shoulder motherly. Then she whacked Neal on the head, causing him to stop making out with Angel.

"We'll have none of that here," she said. "Wait until nighttime, or get a new ride," Kel scolded, and climbed back into the front. Buckling her seatbelt again, she glanced at Joren. He rolled his eyes at her, as if asking her if she was serious about being their friends. Kel smiled weakly at him.

"Can you stop?" Dom asked, looking rather green. "Please?" Joren glared, but one look from Kel made him pull over on the side of the interstate. Dom jumped down, and ran off into the woods. Kel could hear him over the sound of the traffic. Joren winced, before signaling Kel to talk out side. She nodded.

"Yes?" she asked, when they were behind the van.

" What's the matter, Kel? What did Wyldon say?" he asked, looking at her with his blue eyes. Normally, they would be covered in ice, but now it looked as though he was finally melting. Warmth shown through.

"I told you, nothing," Kel said, plastering a fake smile on her face. Joren looked at her reproachfully. "Ok, ok, I'll tell you." she grumbled. She took a deep breath. "Wyldon fired me. He said that I should have followed orders."

Joren looked shocked. "What? Why didn't he fire me, then?" Kel looked away, tears in her eyes.

"I don't know!" she snapped, wiping her eyes furiously. Joren didn't say anything more. He silently gathered her into his arms, and let her cry, shushing her as if she was a baby. She looked at him, and smiled graciously.

"Thanks, Joren," she said. But Joren didn't say anything, he reached up and brushed a tear away, and then his mouth was on hers. It wasn't like those other kisses, where it was more acting. This kiss was sweet, loyal, and loving. The kiss of sweethearts.

A car honked its horn as it passed, scaring them out of their reverie. Joren looked down at her and smiled softly. "guess its time to leave," he said, slipping his hand in hers and turning around.

And there, was Dom.

A/N: I am the queen of FLUFF! Yay! -cough- I have some business to discuss with all of you-my reviewers.

1.It seems that as time goes on…ah the hell with the speech. Keep it short and simple, eh? Ok. I'm retiring from Fanfiction. Boo-hoo, so sad. Get over it. Don't worry. I will be finishing all of my stories before I go, so 'yay' for you. I remember when I used to love to read, I would get so pissed that the people wouldn't finish their stories.

2.To all of the people who's stories I read: don't you worry either. I'll continue reading them. I probably won't review as often as I used to, because for those of you who don't know/haven't figured it out yet, I now hate reading and writing. Do not hunt me down with sharp pointy objects. I don't respond well to threats, either, NOLEE.

3. I'm going to take down my little R-rated one too, because I don't wanna be caught or kicked out. That's it. No compromises, or reconsidering. I'm finished. Unless, one of you would like to take it over. (its only one chapter so you could basically take it where ever you'd like) in that case, please email me.
