Peach: No we aren't and don't worry everything will be over soon enough.

Chapter 4

Always look in a diary

Jack awoke at around 6:00 and he realized he was early. He did his usual chores and finished an hour later. Jack after his work took a break since he was tired. While he did that, he soon realized that he was starting to hang out with Celia more often. He jumped and blushed to this. Prince (the dog) came up to him and Jack petted him. "I guess I better go." He said to himself and left. It was 7:30 and knocked on Lilly's door. There wasn't an answer. He tried again but there was still no answer at all. Jack got curious and looked to see if the door was open. It wasn't so he then thought she was with Celia. Jack ran to her house and knocked her door. Celia opened the door and greeted Jack.

"Hi Jack!" she greeted.

"Hi Celia! Did you see Lilly come by here?" he asked

Actually, no."

"That's weird, even for her."

Celia looked surprised to here him say that.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing." She said.

Jack then had an idea. He asked Celia to help him look for Lilly. She agreed and both of them left to look. They didn't want to look in the city because she doesn't go to the city much. Celia looked in her favorite spots and Jack looked around the fields. Neither of them found her anywhere outside, not even at the seashore!

"Did you find her?" Jack asked, meeting her after searching outside.

"No." she replied.

"Where do you think she is?" he asked.

"I wish I knew."

Both took a break and Celia had an idea where she might be, but she felt that it couldn't be true.

"Uh, Jack? I think I know where she is…" Celia said.

"You think she's in the Blue Bar huh?" Jack asked.

Celia nodded and Jack probably had an idea what's happening there. They both soon got up and then went to the Blue Bar. They looked and saw that Muffy was on her break. They went in and looked all around the room and saw Lilly sitting on a chair but she was sitting next to the person they least expect. Lilly was sitting next to Rock and having a good time. Celia then smiled and got Jack and then told him an idea.

"What'd you do that for?" Jack asked.

"Do you think we should see what's going on between them, she was acting a little strange yesterday." She said.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt…" Jack said.

"Someone's coming!" Celia said and took Jack behind some bushes. They saw two people come out and it was Lilly and Rock. They were heading up to the river. Jack and Celia ran up the river and hid behind a tree, sneaking glances at the new couple. Then Celia changed her mind about this whole idea.

"Actually Jack, I don't think we should spy on them."

"You change your mind a lot." He said and both walked away. As they were walking down, Jack got skittish. He couldn't stop thinking about Celia. He soon stopped thinking as he snapped back to reality.

"Hey Jack, are you okay?" Celia asked.

"What? Oh, I'm okay!" he said and laughed sheepishly.

"Well do you want to come over to my house and stay a bit?" she asked.

"Sure why not?" Jack asked nervously.

They both reached her house and Jack looked around, taking in the whole house.

"Come on!" said Celia, signaling him up a room. Jack wondered why she was up there and then he knew when he got there. It was Celia's room, all neat and tidy.

"I'm going to go get us something to drink, be right back." Celia said and went downstairs.

"Okay." Jack said. He sat on Celia's bed and accidentally bumped into something under her bed. He wondered what was down there. He jumped down and looked under the bed to find a book. Jack looked in it to see that it was Celia's diary! He closed it, thinking that it was bad to invade someone's privacy. But, his curiosity took him over. He then started to flip pages. Jack found something surprising. He then read the paragraph in his mind.

"Dear Diary:

Lilly invited Jack and me over to help her with her garden. There were many weeds but we managed to take it out. There was a very hard weed to get out but Jack helped me pull it out. I sort of felt weird when I thanked him. Then I start to think that I like him. But my thoughts were interrupted when Lilly got us juice." Jack looked down and saw a sentence. "He is so-"and there was one red heart there. Jack then heard footsteps and put the book back under Celia's bed and sat back down like nothing happened in light speed. "Sorry I took long, I made natural orange juice." Celia said and took a zip of juice. They drank their juice, laughed a bit and then left. He kept thinking about what Celia wrote. When he was walking he saw Muffy coming down the mountain. He made a sprint to his house and sighed.

"I'm going a lot of questions for Lilly tomorrow." Jack said and rubbed his hand together and had a playful grin.

It looked like he forgot about Muffy, but she was in the back of his mind. Muffy was going to be an obstacle to get to Celia. He sighed again and just shrugged. He got dinner, ate, had a glass of warm milk and went to bed, still worried about his love for Celia and how he'll have to stop Muffy from interfering. That proved to be a long night, a long night indeed.

Peach: I'm done!

Lilly: Finally, that was embarrassing…

Peach: You're weird.

Lilly: You aren't that normal yourself.

Peach: Okay well, I'll see all of you in the next chapter bye!
