I love the winter holidays for two reasons. I get to sleep in, and I GET TIME TO WRITE AS MUCH FANFICTION AS I WANT!! WEWT! Sorry I'm in serious writing mode lately. I have had an overflow of ideas for like a million stories! xD KK Disclaimer time.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. Katie the Manatee :) (song my friend made up about our other best friend)


Moze felt awful, and not because of her cold. She had just lied to her best friend, but in her defense it was better that way. As long as she was home she wouldn't have to face him.

"Maybe I should start the tape again..." Moze thought to herself.

When she finally pursueded herself that it was time to get up and start working, her mother walked in.

"Hey Jennifer, how are you feeling?"

"Meh, alright I suppose. I mean my cold is fine, but I just have something on my mind." Jennifer was very close to her mother so she was ready to tell her anything.

"Oh? What about?"

"Ned." Moze responded quietly, but loud enough for her mother to hear. A blush began to paint her face in a light crimson shade.

"Oh, I see. What about Ned?"

"I think I'm in... in... love, mom."

"I figured that would happen at some point." Mrs. Mosely pulled her daughter into a loving embrace. "Honey, have you said anything to him?"

"Sort of. We have this project in history and we are making seperate video diaries, so i said it in that."

"Jenn, that isn't telling him, thats... forewarning him."

"I can't do it to his FACE!" Moze was really becoming confused.

"You only admitted it to yourself, it is going to haunt you in the end."

"What is?"

"The "what if" factor. Your going to spend the rest of your life questioning yourself constantly. Your going to have to tell him sooner or later."

"I pick later."

"Well, that's your choice I guess. Anyway, just think about it and if you need to talk I'm downstairs on my computer."

"Ugh, alright."

As Mrs. Mosely left the bedroom, Moze flopped back onto her bed.

"Thanks mom, now I'm even more confused." Moze thought to herself as she wrapped herself into the blankets of her cozy, safe bed. If only life felt like that, safe and cozy.


As Ned boarded the bus with his backpack slung across his shoulder. He managed to find Cookie listening to his MP3 player, which was fairly common for the morning bus ride.

"No Moze again today?"

"No, but thats better anyway, I need to get away from her for a bit."

"Why? She is our best friend! Did you get into a fight or something?"

"No." Ned turned his attention to the window and grew silent.

"Why are you so quiet? Do you need to talk or something?"

"Yes, but not here, at school."

"Uh, alrighty then." Ned spotted Cookie turning his attention back to his MP3 player, flipping through his many songs.

Ned and Cookie were just as much of best friends as anyone could be, but there was the fact that he loved Cookie like a brother, and he loved Moze like... he was in love with her.

He had to let Cookie know so he could help him.

Boy, he had a harder time telling other people than admitting it to himself!

Once the school started to appear in the distance he told cookie to meet him at the usual stairwell that they hung out in.

Ned ran to his locker, put books away and pulled new ones out. He ran to the stairwell thinking he was late, kind of an old habit really.

In fact he wasn't late because Cookie was just approaching as well.

"Hey Ned. So, what is it that you want to talk about?"

"M-moze."

"Moze? What for?"

"Dude, I think I am falling in love with her!"

Cookie's jaw dropped and he just stared at Ned as if he had eight heads.

"Cookie, say something! Anything! I'm in a crisis here!"

"Ned, calm down. First of all I'm not in shock that you like her, that much was obvious. Secondly, I'm almost certain she likes you in the same way, and thirdly.... FINALLY MUCH!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Everyone knew that you were into her! It was obvious!"

"I-it was? Crap!"

"The only thing is, you two seem to ignore each others feelings! You guys really don't realize that you are falling for each other!"

"SHE ISN'T IN LOVE WITH ME!" Ned began to protest.

"Ned! Look at your reactions to each other. You blush at each other all the time, it's kind of sickening really."

"Shut up."

"NO! You wanted me to help you out, and I'm trying my best here to help you realize that you are oblivious to the obvious!"

Ned couldn't listen to Cookie anymore! He wasn't helping him at all, he wasn't giving any advice or anything!

"I have to go to class Cookie, see you later." Ned left without any other word and darted to class. For once he would, well maybe, get to class on time.


"I'm not too sure about what else to add because I've went through most of my life. I guess all that is left to say is that I hope I can go through with this, and soon. Bye everyone."

With a final smile into the camera lens, she had managed to spill her guts out about everything. It made her feel... what was the word she was looking for? Oh right, FREE!

She had finally come to terms with what her mother had been saying earlier. She had to tell Ned.

Moze began to replay his question in her mind that he had asked her last night.

"You didn't look at the other tapes did you?"

Maybe he had said something on those tapes that she really, really wanted to hear. Moze stayed in her bedroom for hours eyeing the tape.

She really wanted to watch the tape. She finally gave in, so she popped the tape into the camera, and hooked it up to the television to get volume.

She resentfully pressed play and the truth began.

"Well I'm not quite so sure how to start out this video. My name is Ned Bigby and I am in the tenth grade. This is a history project based on our history, so in the future we can watch this. I have two amazing best friends. One is Cookie. He is really smart and loves to advance technology, even if he is only in the tenth grade. Then, there is Jennifer Mosely - or Moze as I prefer."

Moze's heart beat increased rapidly and she began to sweat in places that she didn't know could perspire.

"She is georgeous, and amazing, and talented all rolled up into one. I think I have a crush on her or something because everytime I see her, butterflys start jumping around in my stomach. God I love that feeling I get when I'm around her!"

Moze started to tear up a bit at Ned's true confession and his sweet words. She officially was in love with him.

"Hey again. So Moze was just in here a while ago. I don't know what I would have done if she had found out what I had said earlier. You see I mentioned earlier that I had a crush on her, but now, I am in love with her."

Moze's lips began to tremble a bit. He had felt the same way about her. Finally the truth.

"Well I just wanted to make sure that I had mentioned this. Goodnight!"

Typical Ned, living in the spur of the moment. She didn't care though, now she could tell him how she felt about him.

Just before she shut off the television, Ned walked in.

"MOZE! What are you doing!?"

"I'm sorry I just couldn't help it!"

"Fine, I'll talk to you later, well actually I won't!"

With that Moze flinched as her door was slammed shut by a furious Ned. Damn, she was in trouble.
