After some time passed since Cody stayed in Dawn's treehouse and talked with her, Cody checked the time on his watch from his left wrist it was already time for Cody to head back home and thus wondered if his parents were worried about him being away from his home for a long time.

"Hey Dawn"

"Yes Cody?"

"I'm gonna be heading home now, say would it be alright if I, um-" Cody was being a little nervous wanting to ask if he can see her again even though they seem to get along pretty well.

"It's okay if there is something you'd like to ask me, I'm listening" Said the light blonde girl nicely.

"Well, would it be ok if we see each other again tomorrow?"

"Really? Hm, not so sure, I need to check what plans I need to do"

"Oh I see hehe"

"I suppose I can call you or message you after I'm done checking"

"Sure, wait, you have a phone?"

"Of course, I may love mother nature and my natural friends, but that doesn't mean I don't use technology, well actually I barely use it" Dawn replied with a small laughter with honesty.

"Alright, I'll pass you my number then"

The two would then exchanged numbers and by then Cody would pick up his items to his backpack and headed to the treehouse exit, as he turned and said:

"I'll be seeing you soon right"

"Of course, I'd be glad to see you again"

"Very well, see ya then"

"Bye bye, oh wait I almost forgot" Dawn headed to a table and picked a map to give it to Cody.

"This will guide you safely back home, after all I did brought you here"

"Neat, thanks" Cody said with a smile "see ya"

Dawn just waved her hand goodbye to him as he climbed down from the ladder, once he left Dawn would be pulling a crank to lift up the ladder, she saw from one of the windows as Cody would look at the map and then he would walk back to reach the town.

The moonchild smiled for some time to the window as if she was daydreaming, of course she then headed make herself leaf tea, while she was waiting for the water to heat up, her bunny Berry came up to her lap while she gave a giggle and picked him up saying:

"Today it seemed so nice to talk to a new person doesn't it Berry ?" Dawn asked to her fluffy friend as the cute critter shrugged and smiled a little, thus making Dawn laugh a little.

"Yeah, I'd thought that Cody would be not really interesting, but he seems alright, I admit when he talked about how Butch seems to be one happy german shepherd who likes to play with his master, I liked how he described his cheerfulness, probably would like to meet him someday, not sure about his family though, it does worry me a little what they might think of me"

Berry looked at Dawn with a cute face that a puppy would do, making Dawn wonder:

"What's wrong Berry?... Oh, you're worried that I might like Butch more than you? No, I love all of my animal friends even you the same way" Dawn hugged her little bunny, then the teapot would do the sound it does when the water is ready, she then mixed the water with leaf tea, waited for the tea to cool down a little and she drank it, sometimes it be a sip by sip. As a surprise since after she finished it to later see what did the tea leaves had to show, Dawn saw what looks like a heart, which was something she'd never seen before in her lifetime.

"A heart?" She then made a scoff "that's really silly for me, I'm not looking for any romances... Unless if it means something else, like helping a friend seek true love? I'll see in time... Speaking of which I must check if I have plans tomorrow to see if I can hang out with Cody or not"

Dawn was checking a list of plans she had, however she was interrupted by Berry who would make some sounds as if he was speaking to her, but she got a little curious as she asked:

"What about the tea leaves?

The bunny would speak to her with his language if that's the term we can say for this case which then made Dawn made a shocked face:

"Cody? Would that explain why I met him? Hm, perhaps he does need help to find true love or something"

As Dawn said that, the little bunny made a giggle like sound as Dawn looked at him and asked:

"What are you laughing about Berry?"

The animal squeaked his words and then Dawn gasped:

"Wha- Me?! In love with Cody?! No no no no, we just met each other, how could I find him attractive all of a sudden" the moonchild said nervously as Berry laughed a little. "Come on Berry, that's just a coincidence that we met, we're only going to be friends, I mean he is quite a nice fellow and all, but I mean really, why you'd think that?"

Berry jumped into her arms, catching him and then gave a sigh.

"Anyways, I'll continue checking what plans do I have tomorrow, you go take a good sleep you little cutie" Dawn said as she put him to the floor and he hopped his way to another room, though she was looking at her to do list, it was odd for her that she was thinking about Cody, but she mainly tried to focus on another thing.

While with Cody as he was two squares close to his home he had a lot of things going through his head, especially since he met Dawn he just couldn't stopped thinking about her, he wondered if she would indeed call him or send him a text if she is okay with hanging around with him, but at the same time he was picturing how she looked at him with a good smile and how they talked to each other as he told to himself:

"Well I can't disagree that she seemed nice... And that she looked so pretty" he then sighed. "But what if she isn't interested on me, I mean she knows who I am by reading my aura and maybe I'm either not her type or she isn't looking for someone, hm, actually should I even try to get her to- no, wait a sec there Cody, right now is not the right time to seek love, you are working to make cool and interesting games for now" -Cody tries to convince himself to focus on not just what he might do best but also to do something he has dreamed to do. As Cody returned back home and took out the keys of his house to open the door, an adult German Shepherd came running to Cody and greeted him with whimpers and such as the geek laughed.

"Hey there Butch, how's the good boy doing?"

"Hello Cody, there you are" -said a woman around the ages of 40

"Hi mom"

"What took you so long, I was worried about what happened to you and heck even Butch here was worried"

"I'm doing fine mom trust me, I just-"

"Hey Codemeister" -said a man who was watching TV in the main room

"Hey dad, how was work?"

"Nothing changed really, as a boss who wants REAL news, my employees are just trying to make up stories and barely some get to bring me actual stories to put on the papers"

"He he, typical as usual" Cody replied

"Randall aren't you worried that Cody took a long time away in the zoo" -Cody's mother said

"Actually mom about that-"

"Eh it was probably nothing or maybe he watched the most interesting animal in the whole wide world"

"Well I did saw some animals, but the thing is that-"

"Well boy spill it out, what happened?" -Randall asked

"I met someone"

"Oh you met someone? Why didn't you called us to let us know?" -his mother asked

"Relax Barbara, the boy's got to have new friends once a while, who's the new buddy?"

"Well, her name is Dawn"

"Wait, you aren't going after a new girl are you Cody?" -Randall asked

"Not really, I mean we just met each other that's all, Oh and she's not just any random person, she also was in one of the Total Drama seasons after world tour"

""Another competitor? Why is it that you always make friends in reality shows I wonder?" -Barbara replied.

"It can't be that bad, in a way Cody's always making friends with celebrities" -Randall insisted.

"Only half good and half bad though" -Barbara added.

"The point is that she is nice and we're just going to be friends really, only that" -Cody chuckled a little.

"Just like with Gw-" -Randall was interrupted by Barbara as she said "Well it's good to know that you're making new friends, just let us know next time"

"Of course, will do... I'll be doing some homework in my room, I'll be there if you guys need me"

"You got it Codemeister" -Randall said

Just as Cody got to his room, unpacked some of his stuff and such, he then went to a window looking at the moon as he wondered if Dawn might even call him today, tomorrow or perhaps not, he gave a sigh as he made those thoughts. Meanwhile in the treehouse Dawn was in her bed some time ago, Berry would just get a little water before he headed back to sleep, but as such he heard his best friend sorta sleep talked as she said:

"That's so cute Cody"

Berry rolled his eyes, smiling just as he thought it might be when Dawn saw the tea leaves, he just jumped into the bed and made himself comfortable while trying to sleep alongside the moonchild.
