Noah was still confused by last night, with Dawn. He'd admit she was interesting, but not that he liked her. He could never forget someone who could read auras. Never.

Dave had seemed pretty happy after the dance. He'd told Noah, "Guess what? Sky asked if we could hang out later!"

"Great." The last thing Noah needed was his brother obsessing over Sky. "When?"

"In an hour. She's coming over here, by the way."

Noah stood up from where he was reading. "Sky's coming over here? Why didn't you tell me?!"

"She just texted me, okay?"

Noah calmed down. "Okay, okay. But what'll I do?"

"Maybe just walk to the library or something? I don't know."

"Fine." Noah headed for the door. "I'll just go now."

Dave nodded. "Okay, see you later!"

Noah started walking towards the library he always went to. It was a nice day, but he'd planned on reading at home, and maybe watchng TV. But of course, Dave had to invite Sky over. "Why did he invite her over today?"

"He just wants to talk to her, Noah." A high-pitched sweet voice came from behind him. "You know how much he likes her."

"Dawn? How'd you know I was here?" Noah turned around, seeing Dawn walking behind him with a bird on her finger.

"I saw you walking past my house." Dawn pointed to a nearby house, where Noah had just walked by.

"Oh, okay." Noah turned around, so Dawn could catch up with him.

"How've you been doing, Noah?"

"Okay, I guess. I was planning on staying home, but Dave has Sky coming over."

"Well, you can still do things."

"I know, I know." Noah looked at Dawn. "Where are you going?"

"Anywhere. I like to walk and see what animals there are. It's peaceful, and fun."

"Cool."

"Thanks."

"What about you, Noah?"

"Walking to the library. I have nothing better to do."

"Don't you want to do anything else?" Dawn asked, smiling.

"Sure, why not. Dave may have Sky over a long time."

Dawn showed Noah the way to a place she loved to go to. "I like to go to the garden here, it helps me relax."

"It is really pretty."

"I know. And the flower's auras are really pretty... the ones that exist anyway." Dawn looked around, a bit sad.

"Flowers have auras? And what do you mean, the ones that exist?"

"All things living have auras. Flowers count. And some of them are dying. I heard stories that this place may close soon." Dawn looked around her, sitting on a bench. Noah sat next to her.

"Do you believe them?"

"I try not to." Dawn smiled a small smile at Noah. "It gets hard, though."

"Well, at least you can come here now. Enjoy it while you can, right?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

They sat in silence for a while, looking around them. Sewing the bright flowers and animals at the garden, it was relaxing. Finally, Dawn looked at Noah. "Is there anything you want to do?"

"Well, sitting here a while made me kind of hungry. Let's get something to eat, maybe." Noah stood up. "If you want."

Dawn smiled. "That sounds good."

Noah was the one who got to choose where they went to eat. But instead of getting actual food, they went to get coffee.

"What do you think, Dawn?" Noah asked Dawn as she slowly drank some coffee.

"It's good." Dawn smiled at Noah again, before looking outside.

"Yeah, I like it." Noah smiled back, and followed where Dawn was looking. "What's wrong?"

Dawn pointed to a tree outside. "It'll die soon."

Noah saw the tree leaning over into the parking lot. "There'll be more trees, Dawn."

Suddenly, Noah's phone rang. "Hello?" he said, picking it up. "Oh, she is? Okay."

Dawn looked at him. "What happened?"

"Dave said Sky left the house. I can go back now."

"Okay... I can help you get home. Since you came alone."

Noah nodded. "That'd be nice."

Dawn smiled, blushing a tiny bit. "Let's go then."

When they were walking, it was still light out. They were able to see better now, and got home in what felt like too little time. Noah smiled apologetically at Dawn. "Sorry it didn't last long."

"It's okay, Noah. Here." Dawn put a small piece of paper in his hand. "It's my phone number. You can call me." Then, she left. Noah walked into the house, seeing Dave sitting on the couch eating chips.

"Hi, Dave. How was hanging out with Sky?"

"Good. How was the library?"

Noah sat next to his brother. "I didn't go."

"What? You didn't go? What did you do?"

Noah put Dawn's phone number in his pocket. "I spent the day-"

Dave cut off his brother. "Doing what? Were you with anyone?"

"Maybe." Noah buried the paper deeper in his pocket. He didn't suddenly want Dave to see it and say, "I knew you liked her, Noah!"

"Who? Please tell me."

"Uh... Dawn."

"Cool! You two are so cute together!" Dave noticed the paper in his brother's hand. "What's that?"

"Dawn said I could call her." He quickly showed it to Dave. "It's her number."

Dave smiled. "Maybe you can start dating!"

"Maybe." Noah said. "Maybe."
