After a couple hours Pim showed up walking into the house looking at Phil with his head in his hand sitting at the table. He looked at her and she stopped. "Where were you!" Phil asked with a mad but happy face to see Pim was ok. She looked at him feeling bad for what she had put him through. "Pim sit!" Phil said with a stern face. "Ok I am going to talk to you. I am in charge till Mom and Dad can come home. I know you are as sad as I am about Mom and Dad, but you need to follow my rules if you don't want to end up in a foster home!" Pim sat looking down with her hands on her legs. Usually she would make a rude comment or use a gadget to do something but it wasn't like that. She really did feel bad. "I am in charge so go to your room." Phil told his sister as she got out of the chair and headed up stairs.
Phil thought about all his times with his sister and this was the only time she was ever shy. Phil called Keely and she said she would be over soon.
When the door bell rang Phil jumped from his seat at the table and walked over to the door. He opened it and there stood Keely more beautiful then ever (in Phil's mind). "Come on in," Phil told her as he opened the door more widely. She walked in and started walking towards the living room. "Is Pim ok?" she asked concerned. "Yeah, she is in her room." Phil answered. "Let's watch some TV or something!" Keely said hoping Phil would agree. "I have a future video game in the time machine if you want to play that?" Phil said looking down. "Sure go get it, I will wait here." Keely said standing up tall.
Phil left for the time machine. Keely wandered around and heard someone coming down the stairs. Pim was heading down trying not to make noise. "Hi Pim," Keely said with a smile. Pim stopped, looking Keely in the eyes. "What do you want," Pim said starting to cry. Keely spoke quietly "Listen Pim I know what you're going through"…Pim cut her off "No actually you don't! Are both your parents in the hospital! No that's what I thought!" Pim ran up to her room. "Hey I don't even know my dad," Keely yelled feeling tears come. They started running down her face. Phil walked into the room. "What was that about?" Phil asked. "Let's just play the video game!" Keely said starting to walk into the living room and brushing away her tears.
After an hour of playing Keely looked at her watch and decided she would head home soon. "Better get going" she explained as she stood up. "Keely before you go…" "What Phil you know you can tell me anything." Keely knew something about his feelings would be what he was talking about and she was hoping it would be the same way she felt. "Keely, don't take this the wrong way or anything, and don't let this change our relationship as friends, but….I like you more then a friend.
Suddenly their lips met…
