A/N: You know the drill… And If your wondering who Sammy is, you'll have to think hard and try to sort out the clues from the last chapter and this one.
Also LOTS of Jake and Rose fluff! Please read and review.
As Jake and Rose took their seats in the back row, Rose couldn't help but notice how cute Jake looked in his jacket. The bright color really brought out his soft brown eyes and the strange green highlights in his jet black hair.
" He has it styled to look like flames." She thought. " I guess it fits with his skater look, weird, but he makes it look HOT." She was extreamly greatful for the dark sanctuary the thearter provided. As the movie began to play Rose decided to make her move. As the frightening parts of the film began her plan came into play. She grasped Jakes hand and felt him jump slightly form the sudden contact. She grinned and gave his hand a slight squeeze. She heard Jake gulp slightly. Did she make him THAT nervous?
" Hmmmmm…that's good to know." She thought with a sly smile. She then decided to see what else Jake would let her do. After debating wheter to or not, she set her head on his shoulder. She felt him freeze up and could have sworn she heard him mutter " Keep it together". She giggled and snuggled closer.

Jake tried to keep his heart rate at a normal pace, but doing so proved hard when Rose decided to rest her head on his shoulder. God was she trying to give him a heart attack? He thought that his first date with Rose would just be them talking and getting to know each other a little better, but at this rate he'd die of shock before the night was done.
" God, what have I done to desrve this? This is the BEST night of my life." He thought.

Rose sighed as the theater began to light back up. As she and Jake stood up, she didn't relinquish the hold on his hand. She looked at his flushed face, and grinned. Her night just kept getting better. As they left the thearter Jake suggested that they go and get something to eat.
" So…where do you want to go?" Jake asked her nervously. Rose giggled.
" How about we get a pizza?" she suggested. Jake grinned and gave her a mock bow.
" After you, m'lady." He said as he held opend the door. She walked out and then pulled him along by his hand, which she had still yet to let go of. As they both walked down the street towards a small Pizza parlor, Rose glanced slightly at Jake and saw his relaxed expression. She could not help but be fascinated by him. The way he would smile made her feel as if she would melt.
" Maybe I could try and kiss him after he walks me home?" she thought as a deep blush came across her face. The very idea of having Jake be her first kiss made her heart pound in both fear and happiness. But, what if he wanted to just be friends?
"well, I'll cross that bridge when I get there." She thought. After a short moment of silence Jake finally spoke up.
" So….some day huh?" he asked softly. Rose grinned and giggled.
"Yeah,…so does your cousin always ask girls out for you?" She asked coyly. Jake groaned.
" No…..she…well, lets just say she likes to play matchmaker, plus Spud opened his big mouth and told her about my crush on you...I just said that out loud didn't I?" he stammered. Rose grinned even wider.
" You have a crush on me? Since when?" She asked innocently, though knowing all too well that he had been crushing on her for some time, mainly due to the fact that whenever she was around Jake failed to pay attention to his surroundings, resulting in him walking into wall, locker doors, (A/N: I have done that. It hurts like Hell.) falling down stairs and ect. Not exactly subtel. Jake gulped and pulled at the collar of his jacket. When he spoke his voice cracked slightly.
"s..since before the dance. You know the one where you went with Brad? Since then." He admitted looking down at his shoes. Rose felt her heart beat faster than it really should have been, and felt a deep blush come across her face.
"YES,YES, YES! HE ACUTALLY LIKES ME!" she screamed in her mind. This was exactly what she had been hoping to hear from him. Without any hesitation at all she grabbed him by his jacket and pulled him to her. Then she gave him a kiss on his cheek. Jake's eye's went wide and his face turned bright red. Rose pulled away and blushed hard herself. While they both remaind quite for the rest of the walk to the pizza parlor they were both thinking the exact same thought.
"YES!"

Ashley flew around the skyline for a short while before her roving mind decided to settle. Thoughts of old times flowed through. Painful and sad memeories of a life that she once had, a life that she would never have again. And it was all her fault.
A little girl sat on the floor of a small two bedroom apartment playing with a toy dragon and a princess doll. Her hair , a golden brown, with small streaks of pale blond in it. Her eyes were blue and her hair was in a small pony tail. Behind her sitting on a couch watching her was a beautiful woman with the same blue eyes and brown and blonde hair. And sitting in the woman's lap was a small black and gold dragon, curled up in a ball and falling fast asleep. The woman was singing a song.
Forever and a day
That's how long I'll stay
By your side
I'll be your hearts guide
Forever and a day
Now close your eyes
And dream of the skies
Forever and a day
Sleep well my love
As quiet as the dove
Forever and…
" A day….." Tears rolled down Ashley's face. No amount of time would ever make her forget. She would always remember.
