koolishcutie- Sorry… I kinda didn't respond to your review for TIP. But yes, you got it right, about Phil for that story. I'm not sure how many people realized that… I hope a lot, or I'm not as good as making inferences as I thought. Hm…

roxy-sweetie- Anyway, this Kookaburra business- it's just AJ's nickname for Aly. I didn't know they didn't release the CD there… I don't know…

Anyway, my pretties, I thank you all for the reviews, and I'm sorry it took me so long to update, but I was having issues with my computer. Also, I got an idea for another story (but I will finish this one first), and I'm kinda fine-tuning it in my spare time. Anyway, chapter four is right now!

Phil sighed as he sat in his American Government class. Via took a seat next to him, and noticed something was wrong with him.

"Phil," she said, "are you feeling alright?"

"Yes… no," Phil replied. No use in lying to Via, he figured. She could see right through him. And that's why he loved her. (Platonically, of course.)

She smirked, knowing that she'd be right. "Want to tell me what's bothering you?"

"No… well, yeah… but…"

"Phil, please make up your mind…"

"Well… it's just that… Keely and I haven't been spending too much time together lately… I mean, it's been about two weeks since we last had a date… she says that she's been busy, and I believe her, but… Owen said that she's trying to break up with me."

Via suppressed laughter as Phil finished.

"What?" Phil asked.

"Come on, Phil… you're really going to believe what Owen said? When was the last time he had a girlfriend? Three months ago? Six? Twelve?"

Phil sighed. "But… he seemed so… certain about it."

"Yeah, well," Via continued, rolling her eyes, "he was also certain that he saw Bonnie starring on Six Feet Under…"

Phil sighed. "Yeah… I guess you're right…"

"And he was also sure he saw you on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit…"

"I get the point!" Phil protested.

"And I don't understand why you believed him to be right, for it's been a long time since he's dated someone."

"I don't know… I guess I was just afraid that he was right…"

"Although…" Via muttered.

"Although? Although what? What although?"

"Maybe it wouldn't hurt to take her out somewhere special… I mean…"

"See, that's what I was thinking after I kissed Candida!"

"And… wait, what?"

Again, Phil realized his mouth was running too fast for his mind to keep up with. "Nothing," he said, in a high, wary voice.

"I don't think it was 'nothing,'" Via muttered. "If I heard correctly, you kissed Candida. I'm not sure if Keely would take too kindly to that…"

"But that was only because I thought she was Keely."

Via was more confused now than before. "What?"

"It's a complicated story. Basically, she was pretending to be Keely, because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to ask Keely without knowing what I was going to do. Then we accidentally kissed, and I accidentally mentioned the SkyAk in fro…" Phil again trailed off, realizing he'd again made the same mistake as before.

"Phil… kissing Candida… SkyAk? What is going on? What is a SkyAk?"

Phil stuttered and stammered for a few seconds, then, forgivingly, the bell rang. "Oh, can't be late to English!" he shouted delightedly, and scurried out of the room and down the hall.

There's something strange about that boy, Via thought, as she went to meet Keely in their Italian class.

Reviewing will never hurt you…
