An interesting last two weeks of public school had Phil and Keely in a couple of compromising situations (A/N: Almost like some fan fiction writers had made them up... :D)

Not only had they been entwined by the science lab snake, Petrous, who was on the lam from his cage, but there had been rumors spreading about the two being seen together kissing on the beach. Keely confronted Tia about this and she didn't say a word, looking as guilty as anything.

The last day of Keely in Pickford had been a fun one for the both of them. After playing Ultimate Frisbee with some strange kids on the beach, spending time with Mad Max, and playing the drums and guitar one more time together, they went back to the beach. Sitting near the jagged rocks, Keely let the tide lap at her feet as Phil talked about the gizmos of the future.

"And, see, there's this machine that you can keep in your pocket and it keeps track of your schedule." He said, tossing a rubber football in the air.

"The Palm Pilot." She responded, watching the waves meet the shore.

"Oh...well, there's a computer, and it...what's wrong?" Phil looked towards Keely's eyes, the ones that practically met the distinct color of the ocean.

"I-I'm just...gonna miss it here for the summer. I mean, we were supposed to go fishing. And we were gonna try to get a job, and save money and try to buy a kitten that we'd take care of all by ourselves." She spoke.

"Well, I'm not sure about the cat thing, but we can do the rest later on, on your last week out of Hollangder and before school." He came up behind Keely and massaged her shoulders. "It's gonna be fine. You seem nervous about going to the new school. You shouldn't have to be. You'll fit in perfectly. Keel the Chameleon." Keely turned her head to face Phil.

"What are you doing?" She smiled.

"I'm 'releasing the tensions in your upper body'." He used air quotes. Keely giggled and cleared her throat.

"What? You always clear your throat when you have to say something important." He smiled at her.

"It's just that...I...I've always dr...it's a beautiful night." She said, looking up at the moon.

"Yeah, just look at the moon." Phil continued, rubbing her back. Keely looked up into the glistening moon as she let herself fall onto Phil's knees. "Amazing how something so high up in the sky can control something as magnificent as the sea. Isn't it wonderful?"

"Yeah, you are." Keely sighed. After a moment, she paused, and gave Phil a glance. "Did I just say...?" Phil grinned another killer smile.

"Yes." The two came closer and closer before they came to a pause–once their lips were touching. Phil broke away.

"I'm sorry, Keel. This is all too weird for me." Keely got up and tremored as Phil left.

Stupid Keely! Why did I kiss him? I feel like a fool. I kissed my best friend.

Stupid Phil! Why did I run! I mean, I've been dreaming about that for a while! Now I've turned it into a huge soap opera.


Now I've turned it into a soap opera! Drat! I didn't mean to! Let me just answer some reviews!


Amber Chase: Yes, it SHALL be TSR, good sleuthing skills! Sooo sorry to the folks who love a good surprise!

Madame Pink: Making them longer ruins the effect I'm going for. But don't fret, Pinky; I'm gonna try updating at least every two days or shorter! I'm waiting for the outcome, too!

SurreaLpink (Janine): Yeah, same thing here, except now I'm finding reviews stuffed in my inbox! I'm just hoping you finish soon (or get an idea for a sequel!).

Gabby: It's gonna happen :D


Update: I may be slow on my updates, I'm working on getting parts in two summer musicals and two acting workshops, so aside from picking out pieces to audition, I'm also going on vacation. Therefore, I may not be able to update. Sorry as further notice.
