"So how long have you guys been keeping him?" asked Fred as she, Wesley, and Zev walked through the park the following morning.

"It'll be 3 weeks tomorrow."

"You guys have been keeping him a secret for 3 weeks?"

"Uuuhh Yeh." he replied nervously. Why did he get slightly nervous around Fred? He felt like he was 13 again.

"Well he's a pure-bred which is good."

"Pure-bred?" asked Wesley curiously.

"His not a mixed breed. He's 100 retriever."

"Oh." Wesley mumbled.

"In fact if you train him you could probably put him in a dog show, he has a really nice head." Fred said getting on one knee and inspecting his head.

"You seem like an expert on this."

"Before I was born, my parents used to show dogs. They passed it on to me."

"Oh, yes I see." replied Wesley once more as they started walking once more down the lane.

"ACHOOO!" sneezed Lorne. His normal deep red eyes were pink, his usual green skin was now becoming a very pale green.

Cordelia peeked into his room at the hotel, full of guilt.

"Oh dear god no." mumbled Wesley.

"What is it?" asked Fred curiously. She had been acting a lot more normal, since the incident with her parents last week. They thankfully had been able to keep Zev locked up in the top floor during the entire incitement.

"A squirrel." mumbled Wesley nervously. Suddenly Zev quickly darted to the right, then behind Wesley, then to the left, then in front of Fred, and continued his circle trying to catch the squirrel.

"Zev no!" Fred shouted, yet it was to late, Wesley and her were both entangled in his leash and pulled upon luckily the soft grass with Fred on top of him.

"Uuuhh Zev could you get over here please?" asked Wesley nervously. The dog trotted over to the pair, very mad that he hadn't caught his squirrel.

"Uuuhh Lorne maybe you should leave the hotel?" Cordelia mumbled.

"Why ACHOO"

"Umm...there's something you got to know." she replied nervously.

"Yes well umm...sorry about that." Wesley replied finally getting himself out of the tangles that was Zev's leash. The pair were at the top of a hill, Fred's back was up against a tree.

"It's ok, it was Zev's fault." she giggled.

This was followed by an awkward silence.

"Screw it." Wesley mumbled under his breath as he cupped one of her cheeks and kissed her lightly. She froze for a moment as he pulled away. A look of complete surprise on her face. "Fred I like you...umm...a lot. And well I-" yet he was interrupted by one of Fred's own kisses.

"ACHOO ACHOO ACHOO!" sneezed Lorne uncontrollably He came up the stairs to the top floor, to see Gunn reading a book by lantern about raising dogs. He was covered in dog hair because he had just brushed Zev.

"We've sort of been keeping something from you." she mumbled nervously.

"OH WHAT THE FU-ACHOO!" for Lorne's curse word was interrupted by another sneeze.

The pair walked hand and hand up the stairs to the top floor where Gunn was talking to Cordelia quietly.

"Hey guys." smiled Wesley brightly. Fred who was much more shy out of the bunch sort of hid behind Wesley slightly.

"ACHOOO" sneezed Lorne. Both Wesley and Fred turned around to see Lorne standing there, looking extremely sick.

"Hey guys?" yelled Angel. Everyone got quite.

"Don't tell Angel." mumbled Lorne as they all sighed in relief.
