Rachel slowly pulled away and looked Gar strait in the eye. Rachel had less than a handful of dates in her life. But for her first time, she thought it wasn't too bad. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that she would KISS a GUY on a DATE. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that she would be KISSING a guy named GAR during ROMEO and JULIET!

Never in her wildest dreams did Kori think that she would be witness of THE kiss. She just stared through the WHOLE thing! Not even turning away for a moment…or giving them some privacy! She didn't even breath! After Rachel pulled away she looked at her reaction, persuaded that Rachel was mad at her. Then she looked at Gar and he didn't say a word. Should she do something? Break the silence?

No. Way. Rachel would definitely kill her…well that wouldn't make sense, because she would already want to kill her for pushing Gar's face forward…or for making her go on that date…or for making her chose Romeo and Juliet.

So it would be…a triple homicide! Nice!

Garfield had absolutely no clue whatsoever do to. Yeah, he's been on many dates in the past…but being incapable to find what to say after a kiss was unquestionably wrong! Where were his manly attitudes going? He had to think of something…fast.

Seeing that he had NO ideas, Kori had to do something! Remembering a quote from the movie she whispered it into his ear. Still believing it was his Guardian Angel speaking to him, he repeated the quote:

'' Your beauty makes this vault a feasting presence full of light.''

Silence.

A quote from the movie echoed in the car :

''He is the brave captain of compliments.''

Kori muffled a laugh…then let out a small chuckle.

Rachel, half way to a heart attack, prayed to the good Lord for Gar not to turn around or to ask any questions.

''Did you hear that?''

''…Noooo.'' She looked around. ''It must be from the movie…''

He raised an eyebrow, obviously not convinced. ''I'm sure I heard—''

Kori meowed.

''My…cat. Puffy. Sorry, she must have slipped in the car.'' She said, finding herself stupid enough to name the one animal to which she was allergic to.

''Oh you have a pet? I love animals.'' He smiled.

She hated this kind of small talk. ''That's nice.'' She answered, drawing her attention back to the movie.

Kori slightly shook her head, finding this unacceptable behavior from Rachel's part. You just don't turn your face away whenever you please. You must sit up straight, look pretty and smile. In a way, you have to put this mask over your entire personality, just to please someone else.

On second thought it wasn't half bad, what Rachel did. Gar had to accept a girl for who she is and not for how she looks like.

Right? Right!

I know so many people say the same thing over and over again but…it's true! Isn't it? So many people don't believe in this anymore, because so many people do the opposite! So of course it's difficult to fall in love…or to make sure that you are in love, with the right person. Rachel wasn't sure and Kori sensed it.

Then she thought for a moment. Kori thought that she wanted a boyfriend sooner than she really wished. She was too young anyways and she didn't find love yet. No guy that she new pleased her…not even Xavier. Well…he is hot but, that's not ALL there is to a guy…she hoped.

Kori hit Rachel's seat and her friend got the message. ''Lets go…it's getting late anyways.'' She said, starting the car and slowly driving away. Gar, wondering if he had done something wrong, stared at her the whole way back. Something that Rachel found weird, even uncomfortable.

While stopping at a red light, she turned around to face him. ''Gar. What's wrong? Do I have broccoli stuck between my teeth?'' she asked, almost hitting a harsh tone wanting an immediate response. Gar nervously looked around, afraid of answering.

''Well…'' he started, kind of shyly. ''I like the color of your hair…'' Kori hit her head on the back of the seat.

''Natural-navy-slash-black-colored-hair??''

''Umm… yeah.''

She slammed her trembling foot in the gas peddle and the car took off…in silence. She exhaled deeply, and inhaled. She HAD to calm herself and her emotions, unless she would go out of control… Breath in, breath out. Breath in, breath—

''And your eyes.''

She raised a curious eye brow, and answered him still keeping her eyes stuck on the road. ''You mean these blobs of blue on this face?''

''No.''

Kind of relieved, she relaxed. But then she felt kind of…sad. Okay! NOT normal. Breath in, breath –

''No. I mean, those gorgeous blue jewels on YOUR face. Not any face.''

Rachel drove on.

Kori could not believe her ears. None of HER ex-boyfriends ever said THAT before. Life was SO unfair… she starred up at her friend and waited to see what would happen.

Rachel, surprised for the complement didn't know what to say.

The cat caught your tongue! Kori chanted in her mind. Well GARFIEL is a cat…Hahaha! I crack myself up!

''Thanks.'' She whispered, still surprised. ''That was…nice.'' She slowly stopped in front of his apartment building.

He looked at her. She looked at him. Kiss or not to kiss? THAT is the question…

''See you soon.''

Rachel nodded.

''I'll call you.'' He slowly opened the door and walked out. Of course he shut the door, DUH. He walked away and he was out of sight in the cold night. Cliché, hun? Well…that's l'amour! Silently, Kori sat on the back bench and silently looked at Rachel.

''THAT WAS FRIGGIN AWESOME!''

Rachel slowly turned around to face Kori. She blinked once…or twice. ''Yeeeaahhh….I know.'' She hit the gas peddle and drove off again.

''THAT WAS FRIGGIN AWESOME!'' she through the black cover in the air. ''Whouu! Whouu! Whouu! Long live love!''

Silence.

''Okay, drive me back home now.''

''That's what I'm doing.''

Kori sat back. ''Hope you're not mad at me for—''

''No. I'm not.''

''You don't think it went a bit too—''

''No. But it was okay.'' She smiled…slightly.

Kori curled a strand of her hair around her finger. ''So…you had a good time?''

Rachel nodded.

''I guess…I won't need to go with you next time.''

''WHAT?''

''You'll do just fine! Buh-bye now!'' she said, hopping out of the car after it stopped a block before her place. She watched Rachel drive off alone and slowly walked through the streets of the not-so-famous Gotham City. It used to be very well known thanks to Batman and the new Nightwing, but now it was one the safest cities.

She wasn't really afraid of walking alone at night even though Batman and Nightwing didn't make any ''live'' appearances anymore. She walked calmly along, remembering that school was starting in only few days.

School. Aah. Run.

Long ped-days were fun. She could do so many things. But these few days were just…creepy. Her sister coming…the whole Cheeze-Wizz story… Gotham hasn't had a BIG crime since…umm…

Yeah.

But life was good. She inhaled a LOT of air and it smelled like smoke. Unusual…??

She looked around. Nothing. Kori kept on walking but tried to stay alert. She hoped it would be a cat.

A dark shadow appeared next to hers as she stopped under the street light. Incredibly afraid, she counted up to three and decided to run for her life.

1…

The shadow moved closer.

2…

The shadow's arm raised above her…

3…

She took off like a crazed chicken. Not even daring to look behind her, she ran up the stairs three by three and before getting the chance to open the building door, a strong arm tugged her down and pinned her— through her hard, on the wall.

''You can't get away. Not this time.'' The voice whispered.

With her strength, she swung her leg back wards and hit him in the… 'aouchy' section, then ran off again. She ran inside, unlocked the second door with her pair of keys and through herself inside, quickly running upstairs to her apartment.

okayy so??? please tell me what you think, thankss!!! )
