When Robbie woke up the next morning, he was still smiling. He and Cat had gotten along very well the night before, Jade had been almost nice, (well for her) and the sun was shining.

Robbie decided it was time to take it a little further with Cat, and he wanted to buy her a present. Something to show her his affection. Robbie put on his usual clothes, a little bit of male makeup (Heheh) and his shoes. He drove to the nearest jewelry store.

"Um, miss?" He said to the girl at the counter. She was only a few years older than him by the looks of her.

"Yeah?" She asked, turning around.

"Could you help me find a necklace for my friend?"

The girl raised her eyebrows.

"Is your friend a girl?"

"Yeah."

"Do you…Have a crush or something on her?"

"Yeah," he blushed. He looked down. If Rex was there, he probably would have made a sarcastic comment of some kind.

"Okay, so you want to get her something that shows her that you like her, right?"

"Yes," said Robbie. Wow. Saleswomen are on top these days, he thought.

She showed him a bunch of diamond necklaces, all of them beautiful, but none of them right for his Cat. She showed him almost half the store, but nothing was just right. Until he saw one displayed in the jewelry case behind the one that the saleswoman was currently digging in.

"Can I see that one?" Robbie asked, instantly.

"This?" She asked, pulling the case out.

"Yeah," said Robbie. "The one in front."

"This?" She asked again, her eyebrows raised. "Are you sure?"

"Yes," he said, decisively.

"Okay," she shrugged, just happy that they'd found something.

It was a silver necklace with a small giraffe, encrusted with little diamonds. It wasn't cheap, but Cat was worth it. He hoped she'd like it.

"Thank you," said Robbie.

"Anytime," she shrugged. "Any special color?" She gestured to the boxes to hold the giraffe in.

"She likes pink," said Robbie, and she wrapped it up.

Robbie wanted to give it to Cat right away, so he walked back out to his car. He hopped in and then drove to Cat's house.

When he got there, Cat's mother answered the door.

"Hello Mrs. Valentine," said Robbie. "…That skirt looks great on you." It was Robbie's way to be extra polite to his friends mothers.

"Hi Robbie," she said. "Come in. The kids are in the living room."

Robbie wondered who else was there. Probably Beck and Jade, or Andre, or Tori. He walked past Cat's brother, who was sitting in the kitchen taking his special vitamins.

Robbie walked into the hallway that led into the living room, which was adorned with pictures of Cat and her brother as babies.

He paused to look at them. Robbie remembered when Cat had had light brown hair, and these pictures brought back fond memories of their middle school days.

He kept walking, until he saw Cat through the frosted glass door. She was sitting on the couch with a boy that Robbie had never seen before. He had a buzz cut and dark eyes. He was tall and firm and developed.

He and Cat were sitting on the couch. Robbie was about to open the door, when something caught his eye. He had his arm around Cat, and she looked troubled. Suddenly, the guy leaned in to kiss Cat.

Robbie looked away, so he wasn't sure if the kiss happened. But it hurt enough anyway. He looked at the pink box in his hands, put it on the ground and slowly walked away.

His heart was broken.

Inside the living room

Tug put his arm around Cat's shoulders, and she looked down, worried. She didn't want to hurt Tug's feelings, but she really didn't like him in that way.

You know. That way.

As a crush.

She liked Robbie as a crush.

"Um, excuse me…Tug?" Said Cat, looking up.

Suddenly, the burly football player came very close to Cat with his lips puckered. Cat stood up quickly.

"Um, Tug," she said. "I…I don't wanna kiss you."

"Huh?" Asked Tug.

"You aren't my boyfriend," said Cat, simply. Because in her innocent world, it was against the rules to kiss someone who wasn't your boyfriend, even if you didn't have another boyfriend.

"So?" Asked Tug.

"So, I don't wanna kiss you," said Cat.

"Whatever," sighed Tug, before standing up. "And I quit my job at Bed, Bath, and Beyonder for you! Now I don't even get a fruity soap discount!"

And then he stormed out of the room.

Cat twisted her red hair for a moment, and then she walked out of the room, almost looking over a tiny pink box. She picked it up.

"Ooooh," she giggled. "A mystery. What's inside?" She carefully unfolded the box, and inside was the giraffe necklace that Robbie had so carefully chosen.

"Oooh," she said again. "A giraffe. My favorite! And it's sparkly!" She put it around her neck and clasped it tightly.

Who would have given her this?

"MOM!" She shouted, running through the house. "MOM!"

"Yes, Cat?" Asked her mother. She was sitting at the dining room table doing paperwork.

"Mom, do you know who gave me this necklace?"

"Was it in a pink box?" Asked Mrs. Valentine.

"Yeah," said Cat.

"Your awkward friend Robbie stopped by with a box like that, and left quickly."

"Robbie?" Asked Cat.

"Yes. Now why don't you go wash up for dinner?"

Cat walked up to her room and sat on her bed. Why hadn't Robbie stayed and given it to her? He wasn't angry, was he?

If only Robbie knew what really happened in that room…

Note: Did ya like it? Did ya? Did ya? I'm thinking about wrapping up the story soon…in a few chapters. Should I make it longer? REVIEW?
