Anna woke up the next morning feeling better than she had in a long time. She had so much that she didn't even really think that she had ever wanted before. She had a family, friends, and a real home. When she got herself dressed and headed downstairs it was nearly noon. Irene usually let her sleep in on weekends, but she never expected it to be so late. She found Irene sitting down reading one of her normal novels and sat down next to her. Irene smiled down at her, and put the book down.

"Something came for you today." That caught Anna's attention quickly.

"What is it?" Irene stood up and went into the another room, coming back with a vase full of red roses and a card. Anna was in awe. She took them from her aunt and went up to her room smelling the sweet fragrance all the way there. She finally decided to open the card, and read it.

To the most beautiful girl in the room.

-Scott

She smiled at the card and placed it next to the roses, pulling out one of them and bringing it back with her to her bed. She laid there drowning in the smell. She was truly happy.

All of a sudden, she heard a strange tapping on her window, so she got up to go and see what it was. After she opened the curtains she saw him, in a tree only a few feet away. She opened her window and looked at him a bit confused.

"Bonjour chere."

"Remy, what are ya doin'?"

"Quoi? Remy can't be graced by de presence of de belle femme?"

"No, whay didn't ya use the door?" he smirked.

"What be da fun in dat?" She placed a hand on her hip.

"Well if'n ya want ta talk ta meh, then go ta the front door." Just before she closed the window she heard him say, "Who say Remy want ta talk." When she looked at him he wiggled his eyebrows and jumped down from the tree. Under her breath she muttered, "Stupid Swamp Rat." and then went downstairs, knowing he would be there. She got downstairs just in time to see Irene open the door for him. She told Irene that she would be back soon, that they were going for a walk and kissed her on the cheek. After they reached the sidewalk she eyed him questioningly.

"So, what'cha want Cajun?" he draped his arm over her shoulders.

"Just want ta spend some time with ya chere."

They walked down to a park a few blocks away and sat on the swings.

"Remy ask ya somethin' chere?"

"Sure, ain't that kind'a the point?" she looked at him curiously.

"Never asked ya if ya had a good time last night." she smiled playfully.

"Whay suh whatevah do ya mean? How could a lady like mahself not have fun with a gentleman such as yahself." She drawled out and then broke into a fit of laughter. Remy stood up pretending to be hurt by the comment.

"So ya think Remy can't show ya a good time Anna." The playful look in his eyes matched hers and she began to get nervous but played along none the less.

"Oh no, not Mistah Ladies Man, Mistah Debonair, sweep meh off mah feet please." she drawled out as she stood up. Then he began to close the distance between them.

"Really." he looked at her skeptically. "Dat what ya think of ol' Remy. Ya think dat all he can do?" he told her slyly. But he could not hide the playfulness from her. She stepped back and told him, "Oh no ya don't sugah." and then took off running.

Remy was amused as he saw her sped off, but went for the chase none the less. He was able to catch up to her quickly and grabbed her from behind, holding her tightly as she twisted and turned trying desperately to get out of his grip. But what he didn't see coming was that she was attempting to loosen his grip and trip him. One out of two worked. He held tightly as he fell to the ground, her on top of him, but to make sure she didn't get away, he quickly rolled over and kept her pinned down underneath him. She simply rolled into a fit of giggles as he tickled her sides, but then suddenly he stopped. Both realizing their position, she whispered, "Remy?" Just as he moved in to kiss her someone walked up to them.

"Anna?" Remy got up and held out his hand for her to take. She accepted it and stood up, both utterly confused to see that it was Scott. But neither one of the two males even bothered to notice Anna any longer, as they looked as if they were about to attack one another over territory. She decided to try and calm the tension.

"Hi Scott." He looked over at her and smiled.

"Did you get the roses?" he smirked towards Remy.

"Yeah Ah did. They were beautiful, ya really shouldn't have." Scott took her hand in his, neither looking at the fuming Remy who was merely observing the whole scene play out.

"Nonsense. You deserve them. They do, however, pale to your beauty." and then before she could react, he kissed her, quickly but tenderly on the lips. She blushed in embarrassment looking down at her feet.

"Ah really should beh gettin' home. Ah'll see ya both at school."and she ran off leaving Scott and Remy summing each other up.

Scott narrowed his eyes. "So Remy LeBeau strikes again?" There was no answer.

"I really never could understand what a girl would want from you?"

"If you hurt her-" he growled out at Scott through grinding teeth. But Scott laughed.

"You'll what, charm me to death? What's your interest in this one, huh? Haven't got to her yet? Did she actually turn you down? Or was she that good in the sack?" Remy couldn't stand it anymore, after that last sentence something snapped. Before he knew it he had punched Scott square in the jaw and he was standing above him. As Scott was rubbing his jaw, he still was able to mutter, "She's that good?" Before Remy knew it him and Scott were in a full on brawl, in a park, on a Saturday afternoon.
