Warren was getting ready to go to work when he heard Destiny tapping on his window. He walked over and opened it. "Hey, what's up?" he asked.

"You working tonight?" she asked, he nodded "oh I forgot. I was going to invite you over to watch 'The Devils Reject's' it's a sequel to 'house of 1000 corpses'"

"Oh you got it!" he said.

"Yesterday afternoon" she smiled.

"Uh, I get off at 9, how 'bout we watch it then?" he asked.

"Yeah cool, can you bring me home some -"

"Sang Choy Bow and Beef Choy Mien?" Warren finished for her.

Destiny laughed "You know me to well Warr" he smiled then looked in her room at the clock on her wall "Well I gotta go, see you at about quarter past nine k?"

Warren left and Destiny turned to see the time, it was five to four. She sat down on her bed and started reading her book.

Warren got to work and started taking orders and serving the costumers. He noticed a girl sitting in a booth on her own, she looked familiar. Warren continued to wait tables for most the afternoon. Almost everyone had gone, except for the red head still sitting on her own. He looked up at the time. 9:55. He decided he had time to see if she was ok. As he approached her he noticed she hadn't touched her meal. "Still working on that?" he asked referring to her meal.

She looked up at him "Hey" she said.

"Hey…" he answered.

"We go to school together" she told him knowing he couldn't remember who she was.

Warren remembered now, he nodded and said "You're Strongholds friend"

"Yeah" she answered not sounding too happy about it.

"Yeah" he repeated "Do you want me to heat that up for you?"

Layla leaned forward and whispered "Warren, we're not supposed to use our powers outside of school"

Warren leaned forward and whispered back "I was just going to stick it in the microwave"

Layla blushed and laughed. "Uh, I was supposed to be meeting Will here but, um…" Warren raised his eyebrows, Layla then asked "Do you want to sit down?"

Warren looked around the empty restaurant "I think I can spare a minute" he answered sliding into the seat opposite Layla. He used his powers and lit the candle on the table. They started talking, mostly about Will. Warren couldn't believe how obvious this chick let her feeling for her best friend be. He wished he could show it about Destiny. Warren was drawn away from this thought when Layla started to tell another story about her and Will.

"So then there was this time in first grade. You know how you grow lima beans in school?" she asked, Warren nodded and let her go on "Well Will could not figure out why mine were growing so quickly I was driving him crazy. So finally I took mercy on him and I told him about my powers" she smiled "we've been best friends ever since"

"Hmm" Warren couldn't resist "And falling for him, was that before or after the lima beans?"

Layla tried to deny it "What! I am not in love with Will Strongho… is it that obvious?"

"Yeah" Warren sighed.

"Great" Layla cringed.

"Why don't you tell him?" Warren said thinking it was probably the same reason he didn't tell Destiny.

"Well, I was going to ask him to homecoming but there's two problems: he likes somebody else and she's perfect" She finished sadly.

"Hmm" Warren looked at her and said "You know what I think" she waited for him to tell her "To let true love remain unspoken is the quickest route to a heavy heart"

Layla looked taken aback "Wow" she breathed "That is really deep" definitely not something she expected Warren Peace would say. And it wasn't she realized as he spoke again.

"And, your lucky numbers are 4, 16, 5 and 49" he finished reading the note out off a fortune cookie with a serious look on his face and Layla laughed.

"Come on Warren! It isn't your job to sit around and flirt with costumers!" the owner of the restaurant yelled at him in Japanese.

"Ok I'm coming!" he answered. The in English he said to Layla "See ya round hippy" and handed her the fortune message. Again he spoke in Japanese "What are you yelling at me for anyway my shift is over!" he looked at the clock, it was 10 o'clock. I was talking to the hippy about Stronghold for a whole hour! He thought.

"Hey Warren" Layla called out he turned and faced her "You really think I should tell him?" Warren thought about it and nodded "Then you should tell Destiny"

"What?" he asked praying her heard her wrong as he felt his stomach drop.

"Come on I've seen how you look at her, everyone knows. You should let her know too" Layla said "I really don't think you would regret it"

Warren nodded at her both, unable and unwilling to say anything else to her. Everyone knows, he could hear her words in his head, no they couldn't. Destiny certainly didn't know, she spoke her mind and if she knew anything she would have brought it up.

Warren walked into the kitchen. He started to make Destiny the food she had wanted as the meal he had prepared earlier had gone cold. When he finished he saw that Layla had left so he, turned off the lights and locked up. He walked along the street. Should I tell her? No. Yes. She doesn't feel the same. Maybe she does. She's like a sister to me. She's never been like a sister, you never wanted her to be, you have never seen her that way. What if I freak her out? I cant loose her, she means everything to me, if I loose her I don't have anything. Warren groaned and tried to stop the inner battle he was having.

He got to Destiny's place and picked up the spare key from under a rock in the garden, Destiny had put it there for especially for him. He unlocked the door and walked into the lounge room where he found Destiny sound asleep on the couch. He looked over at the grandfather clock in the corner of the room. It was 11 o'clock.

He smiled and brushed a bit of hair off her face. She groaned slightly but didn't wake up. Warren gently put his arms under her back and legs, he picked her up and she stirred a little more and snuggled into his chest. Warren carried her upstairs and lay her softly on her bed, he covered her and touched her cheek.

"Warren?" she mumbled her eyes still closed. He brushed her hair that had again fallen on her face away, she then opened her eyes "Hey" she said "Where were you?"

"I'm sorry" he said "I lost track of the time, I'm not working tomorrow we can watch it after school ok?" Destiny nodded "Goodnight" he whispered and stood up.

"Hey!" Destiny stopped him "You can't just leave now. Come talk to me"

Warren walked over and lay down next to her. She rolled over and rested her head on his chest. "You know what I realized, we haven't had a movie night in three months"

"Really?" Warren asked putting one hand under his head "We used to have them every weekend"

"Yeah" Destiny said "but then you got a job and I just assumed you would be too busy. I hate that we are growing up" she added.

"So do I" he agreed.

"Being a kid was so easy. We could do almost anything we wanted and we could get away with it so easily"

Warren laughed "Yeah, like remember that time you put laxatives in Greg Farman's milkshake because of what he said about my dad?"

"Yeah, I told them I thought it was chocolate sprinkles!" she laughed "I mean who would believe that?"

"I will never forget the look on his face when they kicked in" Warren said still laughing.

"Hey Warren?" Destiny stopped laughing.

"Yeah?" Warren became serious too.

"Do you think my dad will ever come back?" Destiny asked sadly. Her father had walked out on her, her mother and her brothereight years ago. That was how Warren and Destiny had become friends. Warren had seen her crying in her room and for the first time he had leaned through his window and knocked on hers.

"Hey what's the matter?" He asked the girl.

She looked at him with red, swollen eyes "My Dad left" she sniffed "and my brother said he isn't coming back"

"Why did he leave?"

"Charlie said he hates us. He's right, he was never happy around us." She looked at him "I don't know what I did wrong"

"My dad's gone too. He's in prison" Warren told her.

"I'm really sorry" she told him and he nodded "I'm Destiny"

"Warren" he answered "You just moved here didn't you?"

Destiny nodded "Last Monday, I'm starting school tomorrow at the one down the end of the street. I'm kind of scared" she bit her lip.

"You'll be fine" Warren assured her "That's where I go to school, if you want you can hang out with me" And she did, they had been friends from that day forth.

"I don't know Des" he told her "But I honestly don't think he deserves to. He hurt you and your family. He doesn't deserve to come back and have something as good as you" Destiny smiled and snuggled a bit closer to Warren.

"Remember when we found out about each others powers? We were sitting right there" Destiny said pointing to the other side of her bedroom.

"Truth or dare?" Destiny asked Warren.

He thought about it then answered "Truth"

"Ok, what is your deepest darkest secret?" Destiny said laughing at what she had said, holding her torch up shining the light up under her chin. Warren laughed.

"I can't tell you that Des" he said.

"Why not?" she asked.

"I'm not allowed to let anyone know" Warren told her, feeling uncomfortable.

"I'll tell you what" Destiny said folding her arms "If you tell me yours I'll tell you mine"

"You first" Warren said smiling.

"Ok" Destiny said then she lifted her hand and froze it "I have super powers" she smiled proudly looking at her hand. She expected Warren to look shocked but he wasn't, at least not as much as she had expected.

Warren lifted his hand too "So do I" he said engulfing his hand in flame and grabbing hers. Destiny's ice evaporated and Warrens fire was extinguished.

"Wow" Destiny smiled.

Warren heard Destiny snored softly, he smiled and fell asleep too.
