A/N I got another chapter up! Yeah! I need to get out of here, my sister is having a slumber party, and there are 5 12 year old girls driving me up the wall, so I'm updating. Review replies should be at the end of the chapter.

Nita raced home and quietly snuck into the house. She pulled on a t-shirt, since she'd left her other shirt at Robert's. Going downstairs, she went into the kitchen and pulled out a bagel.

"Where were you?" a voice said from behind her. Nita spun around, tensed up for an interrogation from her dad, then relaxed as she realized that it was just Dairine.

"With Robert" Nita said, biting the bagel. It was pointless to lie to Dairine. She'd just figure out the truth, and then make your life miserable for lying to her.

"All night?"

"Can it, Dairine."

"Dad'll flip. He will ground you so bad…." Dairine said, speaking quickly and quietly.

"Needs cream cheese" Nita muttered, ignoring Dairine. She pulled it from the fridge and spread it on the bagel. Biting it, she tuned back in to what Dairine was saying.

"Of course, it is hard to ground a wizard who doesn't want to be grounded, but I guess Dad could consult with Tom and Carl on ways to do that….maybe get them to put a lock on your power like they did for mine that one time…Nita, are you even listening to a word I'm saying" Dairine said, realizing that Nita wasn't listening, but finishing her bagel.

"Huh?" Nita replied. She considered another bagel, then decided against it, as she remembered her promise to meet Kit and Ronan on the moon. "Look, Dairine, I've got to go, I've got to meet Kit and Ronan…."

"I'm coming with you" Dairine announced. "You need someone to keep track of you with all those boys around."

"Dairine" Nita said without much resistance. "FINE! You do your own transport spell though, I don't feel like collaborating."

"Let's go then."

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Nita landed on the moon with a small pop, and bounced over to where Kit and Ronan were waiting. Both looked fairly annoyed, as they'd been waiting on the moon for Nita since midnight, and it was currently 9:00 A.M.

"You'd better have a good explanation for this one Nita" Kit said, glaring at her. "My papi's going to flip."

"Quelt corrupted you even more than I thought. Dai'stitho (sp?) guys. I take it you slept well?" Nita said, in a cheerfully good mood for someone who hadn't had a wink of sleep herself.

"So, Nita, where'd you go for, oh, I don't know, all night?" said Ronan, a disinterested look on his face. He was pretending though, everyone knew he wanted to know why he'd had to wait on the moon all night.

Flashback:

Kit and Ronan landed on the moon at about 10:30. They'd both had other things to do, seeing as it was a Friday night, and it was summer break.

"So, Kit, who is this Robert guy?" Ronan asked conversationally, carefully keeping a neutral expression on his face. "Nita seemed pretty adamant that you not tell me his name."

"Well…" Kit hesitatingly said.

"Come on! Nita will never know that you told me, unless you tell her that you told me" Ronan persuasively said. Whether it was the Power inside of him or just Ronan being Ronan, Kit couldn't tell. Either way, he gave up the information.

"Robert is Nita's boyfriend. She met him at a school dance a few months ago. He was the new kid on the sidelines; she was in the middle of a spell. Her spell backfired, and she fainted. Being the wallflower, he was the first one to notice that was something wrong. He called for help, and went to the hospital with her. When she woke, Robert was the first person she saw. He asked her out the next day. Nita said yes. Since then, they've been inseparable. It's hard to find a time to do wizardry anymore, especially given that Nita is part of the team. Robert isn't. I'd be happy if, well…." Kit stopped, took a breath, then continued. "I'd be happy if I could just get rid of him. He interferes with the team, which is one of the things I care most about right now. Keeping the team together."

End Flashback

"I don't know Ronan…" Nita said, unintentionally flirting because she was so happy.

"Neets, spare us the tricks. Ronan, she was with Robert all night" Dairine, forgotten until now, said. "Happy Kit? Now pay up." She held out her hand.

"You were betting on…wait, what were you betting on?"

"I was betting you would stay out all night with Robert" Dairine said. "Kit, the money. Now."

Kit grumbled "I wasn't really betting" and dug in his pocket, producing $10. "Here. Put it to good use runt."

"I'm not that much of a runt anymore."

"Can it Dairine." Nita paused. "What did you want Kit?"

"I want to know what you were doing with Robert, and what Robert means to you" Kit bluntly said. Ronan looked at him, surprised he was being so blunt.

"Huh? I agree with Kit."

"Okay…well, Robert is to me…He is very attached to me. I like him a lot. He makes me feel, I don't know how to describe it" Nita said, fumbling for words to describe what Robert made her feel. "He's just a really great guy" she finished awkwardly, turning away.

"Nita, that doesn't answer the question. What were you doing with Robert that you were there all night?" Kit said.

"We were, um, just hanging out."

"Liar." Ronan said, looking accusingly at her.

"Okay, we were watching TV and eating ice cream."

"No you weren't. You were having sex" Dairine said point-blank.

"No."

"Admit it Neets. You did it." Kit said. Ronan looked on silently. He got up, and walked around in front of Nita. Peering into her eyes, he spoke.

"Nita."

"Yes?"

"Did you have sex with Robert?" Ronan asked, gazing into her face. Nita stared back, meeting him eye-for-eye. Then she dropped her gaze.

"Yes."

Unlikely-to-bear-it-I know, doesn't it stink? About the dress code, I mean. Thanks for reviewing!

PeanutButterOreoCookieGirl- Yeah, I sort of made Nita a pushover. Sorry, but I needed to do it, and I was bored, so...she was not really meant to seem like a pushover. But she did...oh well.

ultimatestories-I know Nita's dad is a florist. But doesn't every business have paperwork to file?Thanks for reviewing!

Dragonsong1-Thanks! It's sort of like Cacoethes...but not really. I have something in my head...but it's not exactly like Reana's story, so...expect something a bit different...

Britt-I know, everyone says I'm always a little OOC. But isn't this place for learning to write well? So I'm trying to learn to not write OOC. Thanks for reviewing!

Ash-the-great-Thanks! Hope you like the chapter!

Icey Kit-Personally, I don't think it's that good a scene, because I don't really know what it's like...Ew. Have to steer brain away from that part for now. scrubsbrain out with soap

CoPpErYmAgE-Thanks! Don't worry, I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think she'll end up with Robert, if it makes you feel any better.

magicalfan-Thanks! Hope this chapter is up to standard.

Okay guys, you know what to do: push the perriwinkle button...and review please!
