Chapter 11: Rose's Solution

Jake grinned and ran over to Rose.

"Hey, Rose! How's it go-"

Unable to control her happiness, Rose wrapped Jake up in a big hug! Jake, a bit surprised, shakily gave her a quick hug. Then she realized what she was doing and quickly pulled away.

"Sorry. I-it's just...I-I've missed you.." Rose said, her face turning red.

Jake chuckled. "That's ok. I've missed you too." He gave her another quick hug. "It's great to see you again, Rose."

Rose smiled. "You too."

Jake motioned toward the restaurant. "Well...Shall we?"

"Yes." Rose replied. She looked at the cloudy sky. "Besides, it looks as though it's going to pour any minute!"

Jake agreed and they went inside. They chose a table by the window and had a seat.

Jake decided to get down to business.

"So...Have you thought about what we could do?"

Rose smiled to herself and giggled flirtatiously.

"Oh yes, definetly!"

Jake looked at her strangely.

Realizing what he'd meant, Rose blushed.

"Oh! You mean what to do about our problem!"

Jake nodded his head, still wondering what she'd meant before. Then Rose grew very serious.

"Yeah, I've thought about our problem, and I've come up with a solution."

Jake grinned. Maybe this would be easier than he'd thought it would be! He leaned forward in his seat. "So, what do you plan to do?"

Rose grinned. Jake looked so excited, she couldn't stop the big smile that was spreading across her face as she answered him.

"I am going to stay on as the Huntsgirl."

Jake's smile disappeared and now he looked completely crestfallen.

"But, Rose continued. I will refuse to hunt magical creatures. My uncle will get so fed up, he'll have to fire me!"

Jake's eyes lit up and his big smile reappeared as if it had never left his face. He let out a silent whoop of joy.

"That sounds great!" Then he hesitated. "So...does this mean...?"

"Yes." Rose confirmed. "I'm coming back to MMS!"

Jake tried to bottle up his excitement, but he failed miserably.

"Yeeeaaaahh!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, jumping up from his seat. Then he realized what he'd just done out in public. Blushing, he got back into his seat, and pretneded that he was extremely interested in his fork that was laying on the table.
