Ann quickly put away her things, back into her pillow case and dragged herself to the door. What now? She opened the door to see Cliff standing before her.

Cliff's side of the story.

Cliff had been invited to a party at the Inn. Ann was there so he was looking forward to it. Cliff and Ann both knew that they liked each other but they didn't really do anything about it. Turns out as soon as Cliff got to the party, he realized that Ann hadn't been invited. Only Karen, Doctor, Popuri and him were there.

"Where's Ann?" Cliff quietly mumbled to Popuri. Popuri just stared at him looking very shocked. She turned away and sat at the nearest table. Okay then. Cliff sat next to Popruri and Doctor sat on the other side of the table. Karen was at the counter. She saw a note that said they should grab their own drinks. Karen grabbed four beer mugs and filled them up with wine. She then took them to the table her friends were sitting at. Cliff stared wide-eyed at the mugs then took one of his own as the others did the same. Those three started chugging their drinks then Popuri stopped and it turned out to be a chugging contest between Karen and the Doctor.

"Chug chug chug!" Poprui chanted. Cliff smiled and banged his fist on the table as Karen finished her beer.

"Winner!" Cliff yelled and raised Karen's arms in the air.

"Bette'h believe it!" Karen stated as she wearily stood and got some more wine. Cliff smiled and totally forgot about Ann. He started to casually drink his wine. Eventually, one glass grew to two glasses, and two glasses to six glasses. Everyone was stumbling around when Cliff realized that he missed Ann. He clumsily walked over to where Popuri was sitting, talking to Doctor about him and Elli.

"Popurm…"Cliff mumbled. He tapped her on the shoulder and she turned to look at him.

"Yes?" She chimed.

"Uhm…wheresnnmm Annmm?" He asked as he grabbed the table for support. Popuri grabbed Cliff's shirt collar as she stood and looked into his eyes. She pushed him over to the wall then released his collar. She gazed at him and drew circles on his chest with her finger.

"Why do you care about Ann?" She asked in her sweet, innocent voice. "It's not like you have any feelings for her" Cliff opened his mouth to say something but Popuri shushed him by putting her finger on his lips. She shook her head and said in a disappointed tone, "She's not worth your time Cliffie. She doesn't like you like you think she does. Your just some guy to her". She moved her finger from his lips and pushed him against the wall. She leaned over to his ear and quietly whispered "But I am and I DO feel that way" And with that Popuri kissed Cliff's neck until she reached his mouth. Cliff just stood there, taking it all in. Was Popuri right? Did Ann have feelings for him? Or was it just his imagination. He shrugged away this thought and focused on Popuri. She WAS prettier. Practically better in every way imaginable. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she stuck her hands in his hair. Cliff started to reply to Popuri's kisses with his own and the rest of the night went on like that.

Popuri and Cliff started dating. They spent all their time together. One day, Cliff invited her to the Inn for their week and a half anniversary. Where they both realized that they had feelings for each other. They walked in and realized Ann standing at the counter. They quickly went to the far table to the left and sat down next to each other. They talked for a long while.

Popuri noticed that Ann was watching them. She knew that Ann liked him but she wouldn't let her Cliffie know that. She wanted to show Ann who she was dealing against so she would prove that Cliff was hers. Popuri leaned in closer to Cliff while he was in mid-sentence and kissed him on the lips passionately. Cliff returned the kiss sweetly and they walked out of the Inn, holding hands. Just before they closed the door, they heard Ann sobbing and storming up the stairs to her room.

Things went well for many, many weeks between Popuri and Cliff. Then one day a problem arose.

"Cliffie" Popuri called. She was sitting on the bench on the beach. Cliff was skipping flat stones across the water.

"Yes Poppie?" He answered.

"Come here." "Sure thing." Cliff walked away from the shore and approached his girlfriend. Popuri looked at the ground and grabbed his hands. She looked up into his eyes. "Ann thinks you still like her, doesn't she." Popuri asked.

"I..well..I don't know." Cliff shrugged his shoulders. "Why does it matter? I don't like her like I used to" Cliff stumbled with his words. What is she getting at?

"Well…She thinks you still do. You need to tell her that you don't." It was spring and Ann hadn't come out of the Inn for seasons. "Please?" Popuri looked pleadingly at her boyfriend. "For me?"

"Allright." Cliff answered. "I'll go tell her tomorrow morning." Popuri smiled and pulled Cliff down so he sat next to her. She leaned into his face and kissed him. He kissed her back. "Thanks" She whispered into his ear.

The next morning Cliff woke up in the Inn. He would go out until Ann finished her cleaning. He did so and found that Ann was still in her room. He walked over to her door and knocked loudly on the maple wood. He heard some rustling of papers and pillows then the door slowly opened.

"Doug!" A male voice screamed from within the room behind the counter one the first floor.

"What?" Doug shouted in reply.

"We need our exchange." The female voice calmly stated. "And your overdue."

"Ah! I know I know! You don't have to keep reminding me. You think I can't take care of myself? You think I don't know what I say?" Doug pounded his fist on a desk as he said these harsh words. Someone creaked on the floor upstairs and he suddenly looked worried instead of his angry self. "Shh" He warned the others sitting in his dark dank room. "My daughter is…well."

"Take care of your daughter! She is just a problem around here for you now" The female voice advised. "That's why my and MY husband won't have any children. They only cause trouble."

"But if she does get pregnant" The male voice grew fainter "We won't let our child hang around…"
