So so so so so so sooooo sorry for making you guys wait! Today I got a tour of the University I desperately want to go to. Anyways, it'll be taking time for me to update but, since I have completed my stupid homework, I can focus on writing. I hate school and I wanna be a teacher. Go figure.

I doooooo noooooot owwwwwn Dannyyyyyyy Phantommmmmm. Dooooooo yooooou uuuuuun-derrrrrrrr-staaaaaand?

Danielle and Jake stepped outside and watched in silence as Luna drove off in the yellow cab. Luna's sister had called, furiously scolding her for 'missing practice' or something.

Jake and Danielle were now alone. Together. With no one else.

Danielle peered up at him curiously. "So, what do you wanna do?" She asked.

"Well, I guess we can go back inside and play video games or-"

"-go on a walk because it's such a beautiful day?" Danielle offered.

Jake smiled. "That'd be nice." He replied.

So they left. They roamed the abnormally busy streets and talked. Mostly. They continued walking until Jake spotted a carnival.

Lights twinkled brightly and the two 'friends' were instantly drawn to the energetic place that emanated life. There was the ferris wheel that had a too-long line, the thrilling rides that left Danielle squealing with joy and Jake growing pale with anxiety. (Rides were never his thing.) The best part of the lively carnival was the games. Danielle one every shooting game, every dart game and other aiming games like basketball, knock-a-pin, and even a wrestling game. Jake frowned and eyed the plushies in her delicate-looking arms. Danielle dropped everything in her hands when she spotted the one thing she hadn't won. A little, green, cute dog that had an uncanny resemblance to Cujo. The dog she absolutely loved.

"Oh my god! It looks just like Cujo!" She slapped the tickets onto the stand. "I'll play you for it!"

A man with messy red hair and zits peered up at her, his dull brown eyes eminating boredom. "Well," he sighed and put the money in a small, metal container, "Go ahead. Aim at one of those numbers. Whichever number you hit, you guess a riddle. If you hit a number you got those plushies," He gestured toward a box of tiny bear plushies, "and if you win you get one of these," he pointed at the plushies of a variety of animals-the Cujo puppy included.

Danielle studied the slips of paper on the wall: 1, 2 and 3. It was simple and too easy. She flung the dart and it landed in the dead center of the second paper.

"Please be aware that the riddles will constantly change." The guy muttered and pulled out a random slip of paper from a small, black magiciain's hat.

He began reading. "You want to boil a two-minute egg. If you only have a three-minute timer (hourglass) a four-minute timer and a five-minute timer can you boil the egg for only two minutes?"

Danielle's jaw dropped as she began analyzing the question in her head. Once. Twice. Nothing.

Her head hung and disappointment washed over her. There was no way she would ever figure this out.

Jake smirked and instantly answered. "Once the water is boiling turn the three-minute timer and five-minute timer over. When the three-minute timer runs out put the egg in the boiling water. When the five-minute timer runs out two minutes have elapsed and it is time take the egg out."

The man blinked. "You're right. Which one would you like?"

"That one." Jake pointed at the Cujo-replica.

Danielle's eyes widened. "You've heard that riddle before?" She questioned.

He snorted. "No. I have a high IQ. And it was pretty simple if you think about it."

He hand Danielle the small plushie. She squealed and hugged it to her chest. "Thank you!" She threw her arms around him and pulled him into an unexpected hug.

He blinked and awkwardly wrapped his arms around her. After approximately five seconds, she pulled back and gave him a quick peck on the cheek; the action causing them both to blush furiously.

Danielle hugged the plush to her chest.

"S-so," Jake stammered, "You w-wanna go to the park? Y'know, before it gets dark."

Danielle nodded, suddenly feeling unusually self-conscious. "Sure..." She muttered.

He wrapped his fingers around her own slender hand. She was surprisingly cool to the touch.

Jake smiled, as he unknowingly lead her to their doom. "Let's go."

Short. I know. But now, time to go back and review my other stories. ;D

Anyways, I'm scared outta my wits because I gotta take the ACT's soon.

BTW: I do not own the riddle above. I got it from a website: .net. It's called the Boiling An Egg Hard Riddle.

PEACE!
