No, I still don't own 'em. Go figure. Well, actually, I do own Gragon and the Crangons. Unfortunately, that's all I own out of this series.

Meanwhile, back at Hailey's Cyberspace, Ethan approached Cassidy.

"Hi, Ethan," she greeted with a smile.

"Hey, Cass," Ethan responded. "Listen, do you want to go to the dance with me? Just as friends I mean," he invited.

"Oh, I don't know. I was kind of hoping Devin would ask me," Cassidy told him.

"Oh. Okay," Ethan said. He turned and began to walk away. For a moment, Cassidy watched, but then, she hurried after him.

"Wait!" she told him. He turned back to her. "It's not like he has asked me yet and you did say we were just going as friends," she continued.

"Tell you what: we'll show up together as friends, and if Devin does convey something more than friendship towards you, I'll hook up with someone else," Ethan proposed.

"Deal," Cassidy agreed. With that, they shook hands.
