well, i was thinking about just putting up a author's note saying what's at the end of the chapter but after i checked my email and saw the PM from disneyqueen i decided that it wasn't smart to leave you guys hanging. so yeah. on to the story.

Chapter 3

The next morning, Marie woke up late compared to when she normally woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes she started to freak out. That went on for a few seconds until she remembered that she was at her new home. With that thought, she got out of bed and walked across her room the bathroom.

In the bathroom she was getting ready to take a shower when she realized that there were three doors to the bathroom. One from her room, one to the hallway, and one to a mystery room. She opened the door to the mystery room a crack to peer into it.

It was obviously a guys' room. It wasn't messy like the only other guys room that she had seen, which almost surprised her. When it dawned on her that it was Danny's room, she closed the door. She had this strange feeling that eventually she'd be in that room with permission. (a/n: a slight reference to the sequel of this story i guess. i dunno)

The next day Marie was painting her room with the dark blue paint that she had boughten the day before. The music that she was listening to was so loud that she didn't even hear when Danny entered the room.

"Can I help?" He asked. Marie jumped about a foot into the air. When she turned around it was obvious that he had scared her. When her eyes locked on him, they narrowed into little slits. She was mad.

"You...jerk."

"Sorry." He laughed. With that she flung paint in his direction. And the paint it its target.

It was Danny's turn to be surprised. "Oh, this means war." He walked over near Marie and grabbed a paintbrush, dipped it in paint, and covered Marie's shirt in paint with one swift stroke. Marie retaliated and soon they were both covered in paint. At this point, they were both laughing their heads off.

"Give up!" Danny managed to say in between spurts of laughter.

"Neverrrrr!" Marie shouted.

"Fine then, I give up." The paint war stopped. They both looked at themselves, the walls, and each other.

"I think that we have more paint on ourselves than we do the wall." Marie said visibly holding back laughter.

"Me too." They were standing only inches apart. Suddenly, their faces started to drift closer to each other's. It seemed as if their lips were magnetized and they were destined to meet.

"What are you doing?" Ally asked as she came into the room. She hadn't seen Marie and Danny almost kiss. Now there was no evidence of it happening because there were feet in between the two.

"Nothing." They both said at the same time. They glanced at each other and blushed.

"You two are going to get in trouble."

"That sucks. I haven't been here for a week either." Marie said.

"Well, I'm going to go do my homework." Ally left the room. Marie started to leave and stopped by the door.

"I'm...going to go see if she needs me to explain something." Then, she rushed out of the room, leaving Danny by himself.
