"Hi" Jenny nervously smiled as she walked up to Eddie in Chem Lab. "Look I know this is really forward and I wouldn't ask, but I heard that we have to have partners for Chem Lab and I was wondering… "

"I'd love to, but I sort of have a partner already. Otherwise…" Eddie stumbled over the words lost in her brown eyes.

"I understand, I'm sorry I bothered you." Jenny turned away from him.

"But I'm free after-school if you'd like to have some one show you around Sunnydale, maybe get a coffee at the Expresso Pump." Eddie smiled as she turned around.

"That sounds great." Jenny smiled. "I just moved in last week and I haven't really seen any of the sites yet."

"Great, I'll meet you in front of the school," Eddie smiled back as Jenny headed to the front of the room to talk to the teacher.

"Earth to Eddie," Violet giggled as she waved her hands in front of his face.

"What" Eddie asked startled.

"That's what I want to know. You seem less aware of class than usual." Violet teased. "It couldn't possible have anything to do with the brunette in the front of the room that you haven't stopped looking at."

"It's none of your business." Eddie snapped grouchy that he'd been so transparent.

"Are you kidding? We're Scoobies, our love interests and dating habits always come back to bite us in the butt." Violet reminded him. "Besides if you two do start dating, Will's going to suggest a double date. Actually, it could be fun having another girl in the group. Since Summer left for college it's just been you three guys."

"I'll see what I can do to find you a playmate." Eddie rolled his eyes. "In the meantime, tell Will I'll be late meeting everyone at the Magic Box, but I'll be there before the six o'clock meeting."

"Okay," Violet agreed as Eddie bolted out the door at the sound of the bell.
