So he didn't mean to kiss you on the lips?" Pony's frowned, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes" I gulped

So if he didn't do anything to be in fault of, then- then well, it must be all your doing"

Yes, uh-huh; it is all my doing, all of it" I finished hurriedly.

"Is this true?"

"Yes!"

"Sydney..." He grunted,

"Ummm..." I tried to stall.

"Sydney, come on now" he raised an eyebrow at me.

"Oh okay, fine; he kissed me- I had nothing to do with it!" I burst into tears.

"Oh Sydney, why did you lie to me?"

"I don't know ... I guess, I just don't want to see you hurt your best friend is all" I admitted.

"Oh Sydney, I would never..." he embraced me in a tight hug.

"Thank you..." I pulled away from him.

"Come on Johnny ... lets go back to where Emily is and just see if I can find a way to get you two back together" I suggested.

"Okay" he stood up.

"Race you to the bench!" I challenged, Pony and Johnny looked at each other.

"You're on!" they accepted the challenge gratefully.
