Mrs Lin shook her head. " I do not know enough on this subject to tell." She turned to Will. "Will, take Jason to see the Mage..."

"No Mrs Lin, I'll go... I... I have some things to sort out with the Mage." Cornelia cut in quickly. Will will fall for him too and I can't let that happen, he's mine.

Mrs Lin looked at the blonde girl quizzically. "Are you sure Cornelia? You and the Mage were never the best of friends."

"Uhh, yes Mrs Lin, I'm sure."

"I'm... I'm going to die aren't I?" Jason said shakily.

"Not if we can help it brother." Ryan said forcefully.

"Thanks guys." Jason smiled weakly.

"Maybe we can send him to Kandrakar?" Hay Lin piped up. "His astral drop could stay here."

"Warrior's astral drops are used in emergency situation..." Mrs Lin started.

"This IS an emergency. OUR BROTHER IS GOING TO DIE!" Tyler shouted. Everybody looked at him. This was the first time he had lost control.

Mrs Lin looked at him subtlely. "Quiet Tyler let me finish." Tyler slumped back in his seat. "It is intense pain for the warrior whose astral drop is being made, and I think Jason will have enough pain over the next few weeks."

Jason looked up. "You, you mean, it's, it's not going to stop..."

"Unless you can focus and block it out of your mind, no I'm afraid not." Mrs Lin looked at him sadly.

"Ok, so we better go to see the Mage now." Cornelia said quickly.

"No, can we go tomorrow, I feel ill." Jason groaned.

"Errr ok."

"Jason, if you feel ill we better go home." Jack said as he and Ryan helped Jason up.

"Thanks Mrs Lin, for everything, and sorry about... that." Tyler blushed.

"Ya, Mrs Lin, thanks." Ben said.

Ben turned and kissed Irma's cheek softly as the girls laughed and the boys wolf-whistled. "See ya."

Irma twirled a curl innocently. "Bye."

He and the other boys left.

Taranee waved her hand in front of Irma's dazed face.

"Ok, she's gone."

"And so should we, I have some math homework." Will looked at her watch.

"Thanks Mrs Lin." Taranee waved from the door and left.

A hour later...

"Hey, T, I'm going to the park with my posse, wanna come?" Peter shouted at his little sister.

"Ya sure." Taranee put her book down, and joined her brother out the door.

The park...

"So where are you going, me and the guys are going to the skate park." Peter looked at his sister.

"I'll go shoot some hoops, I've been meaning to practice." Taranee walked away to the basketball court. To her surprise she saw a certain little red-headed warrior shooting some hoops too.

What do I do? What do I do? I'm not pretty or cool like everybody else. He'll never notice me. Better just walk back home.

Unfortunately he had seen her and was waving madly. "HEY TARANEE! DIDN'T THINK I'D SEE YOU HERE. SHOULDN'T YOU BE READING SHAKESPEARE?" Ryan grinned teasingly.

Taranee walked up to him. "And shouldn't you be doing your remedial biology homework?"

Ryan's grin vanished almost immedietly. "How do you know?"

"I read minds, remember." She smirked.

"Oh yea," He gave a small laugh. "Forgot." He bounced his basketball nervously. Then he grinned again. "Do you play, four-eyes? I'll give you a game?"

"You're on skunk-breath." Taranee took up a defensive position.

After a long game Taranee emerged victorious. "HAH! Told you I could beat you!" Taranee smiled smugly.

"I let you win because you're a girl." Ryan pouted. He ran a shaky hand through his auburn hair. "So... are you doing anything on Friday night?"

A date? Get a grip, Taranee. "No, why?"

"Well, there's a really good book fair going on at 6, and I was wondering..." He ran a hand through his hair, yet again. "If...if you wanted to go, you know, with me?" Ryan was now blushing in a way only red heads can.

A DATE! A DATE! A DATE! A DATE! A DATE! "Yeah ok, then."

"YES!" Ryan punched the air. Then realised what he had done. "Aww crud."

Taranee laughed. "So pick me up at, ummm, 6, ok?"

"Ya sure."

"I better go, I bet Peter's waiting. See ya." Taranee walked off and turned a corner to find Peter waiting there with a stupid grin on his face.

"So, what's his name?" Peter quickened his pace to catch up with his sister.

"Get lost Peter. You don't need to know." Taranee put her hands in her pockets.

"Friday at 6, hmm, I'll definately be there."

"You can't."

"Why not?"

"Football practice. And Tyler is sooo a better captain than you."

"Oh, so you have a crush on Tyler Allen too? I'll be sure to tell your boyfriend that."

"No point."

"Why?"

"He's Tyler's brother."

"Crud."

Near the Superstore...

"Go get some milk Will... stupid, why can't you get the milk?" Will cursed her mother. Then to her embarassment, tripped over a crack in the pavement. Thankfully she landed in someones arms.

"Easy tiger, give some warning when you fall on top of a boy."

Oh crap, it's Jack. What do I do? Will looked up sheepishly. She got off him quickly. "Oh, I'm so sorry Jack, I didn't mean to fall..."

Jack grinned. "It was nothing, plus I quite like saving a girl from getting a broken nose." He grinned again.

Will laughed. "So where are you going?"

"To the Superstore to get some chicken soup. Mom's convinced Jason's got a cold." Jack smiled. "Jason hates chicken soup."

"Really, well I got news for you. The superstore's that way." Will pointed to the way she was heading. Jack turned around to look where she was pointing.

"Crap."

Will laughed again. "I'm going to, to get some milk."

"Ok, can walk with you."

"Yes, alright."

The teenagers walked in silence for a while. Until Jack made conversation.

"So, do you have Collins for history?"

Will grimaced. "Yeah, and I've got him for my mom's boyfriend too."

"No way, poor you!"

"And he's taking my mom out on saturday." Will sighed irritably. "I've got nothing to do."

Jack smiled. "I'll tell you what, if I take you to the movies, would you be bored?"

Will looked at him stupidly. "You want to go out with me?"

"Why not, I like you." When Jack realised what he had said he blushed.

Will giggled girlishly. "Ok, I'll meet you at the park at 5."

"Cool, now can we get back to going to the superstore, I really want to give my dear twin the hell of chicken soup." Jack smiled evilly.

"Ok, then."

Will and Jack walked off chattering.

At Will's house...

Will sat at her computer, she was having a msn conversation with her friends.

(Key, Cornelia, Irma, Hay Lin, Taranee, Will.)

Cornelia has logged off.

Will turned her computer off. She walked to her bed and lay on it. Soon she was in dreamland, thinking of only one person.
