"Yeah. He's really worked up about it. He thinks you'll never go out with him now." He told her. She blushed slightly and looked down at her feet. She had imagined how wonderful it would be to go out with Gar. A romantic dinner, his hilarious antics with her pretending to be annoyed...a few jokes and compliments here and there, obviously from Gar...then he'd walk her to the park where the fountain would be beautiful background noise when he told her he loved her...
I'm being stupid Rachel told herself severely.
"Oh. So he's avoiding me? I'll talk to him tomorrow." Rachel decided. Vic nodded.
"I need to go and get out of this trash suit." Vic said, giving her a parting wave before going. Rachel looked around and realised she was by herself. She let out one last sigh before trailing out of the hall.

"I may not be smart enough to do everything, but I'm dumb enough to try everything." Beast Boy stated proudly. Cyborg gave him a grin before spooning out some of Starfire's homemade soup and putting it in his mouth.
"Uh, I realize he is a cruel diminutive criminal who speaks the mean words and is not our friend...but still I wonder-what became of Gizmo?" Starfire questioned as Cyborg's facial expression showed much unpleasantness for his soup, made by Starfire.
"I really don't care to be honest." Raven admitted. "I'm sure, wherever he is, he'll get himself free." Robin wandered over to the high-speed computer (but not speedy enough to play Beast Boy's game) and started typing rapidly, searching for files. Cyborg, averted from Starfire's eyes, crept over to the rubbish bin and threw away the soup, with the ceramic bowl. Then he went back to the sofa and sat there innocently.
"The only bad thing out of this is that I can't really play Mega Monkeys Four anymore." Beast Boy said, disappointed.
"You can actually. My computer is powerful enough to run your game and I can also update the Teen Titans Main Computer." Cyborg told him. "But I'm not gonna to let you play on my computer, not after this!" Beast Boy sighed and sat on the sofa, understanding why he wasn't allowed to enjoy the levels of Mega Monkeys four.
"Titans!" Robin called. The other four titans trailed over. "I've found more information of our doppelgangers." They were all surprised. It had been a while before they had got any info about their twins so this perked up their ears and they handed Robin their undivided attention.
"I found one of the' red blinking thingies' as Beast Boy named them nearby my bedroom door." Robin started.
"Really!" Beast Boy said, suddenly excited.
"Yes. And they're in fact not 'red blinking thingies'," Robin said, facing them,"... they're cameras." Robin said, facing them.

Surprisingly, it was overcast in Jump City with dark, grey clouds signalling a shower was about to commence soon. It matched Gar's mood as he forced his feet to move forward in front of each other. The lessons after lunch were pure agony as he sidled away from Rachel's eyes, avoiding conversation and awkwardness. He had received looks from people as a cause of his abnormal behaviour. He couldn't bear thinking about when he tried to rush out of class in Biology and had tripped up over someone's bag. That was really embarrassing and Gar learnt that the floor of H8 tasted revolting.
To sum everything up, his day sucked.
He remembered telling Vic he would communicate with Rachel tomorrow so he was dreading that almost as much he would dread eating meat for a dare (this was really bad as Gar's a VEGETARIAN). At first, he couldn't really understand why he was getting so worked up about it but by now, he realised. He was afraid if he screwed up, Rachel and he would not be friends anymore and that would break his heart. He really liked Rachel and had been prepared to go the next step- dating. But so far, that looked like only a dream.
Due to the whole embarrassment business, Gar hadn't remembered that the Teen Titans marathon was meant to be starting today. It was a doubt any of his friends had remembered about it either, unlike the teenage and younger population of Jump City. He walked up to his porch and fumbled around in his bag, endeavouring to retrieve his house keys. It seemed to take minutes to find them and they were making him frustrated. Finally, he found them and he, grumbling, slotted the key in the lock (after some more fumbling with the keys). The door clicked open and he stepped inside.
"Hello, Garfield!" Mrs. Logan greeted her son as he stepped in. "How was your day at school?" Even at his age, his mother asked him the question which was meant to be asked to kids much younger than he.
"Fine." He lied blatantly. He walked over to the stairs and started walking up. Mrs. Logan sensed his different behaviour.
"Garfield...are you sure?" Mrs. Logan asked him, concerned.
"Yeah." He replied, shutting his door with loud bang. She sighed. She decided to console with him later.

Rachel barely concentrated on anything around her as many things were in her mind. It was similar to Gar's thoughts expect she wasn't feeling embarrassed at all. Actually, the only thing that was similar was that their thoughts were of each other. Her thoughts were focused on the fact Gar was actually flirting with her. She had never thought Gar had liked in her in that way especially because they were almost complete opposites. Rachel, before, didn't believe in any of the opposites attract junk but now, she thought otherwise. Well, she was considering otherwise.
She opened her door without trouble and stepped into the house. She immediately went up to her room and placed her bag in the neat corner of said room, where she always placed it. Strangely enough, a thought struck her- wasn't the Teen Titans marathon starting today? Hmm. Maybe she'll glance at the show today. But right now, a book was enough to entertain her in her recreation time. While she was reading the most angst part of the story, a couple of hours later, the home phone started ringing. She had a twinge of hope in her heart that it might be Gar. When she picked it up she discovered it certainly wasn't.
"Hello, Rachel." Rachel almost dropped the phone when she heard the voice. It barely strummed the strings of recognition first but after a couple of seconds, the beautiful tune of familiarity was played.
"M...Mum?" Rachel breathed. She couldn't remember the last time she had used that word. "Wh... why are you calling?" Rachel's mother hadn't called in a while, Rachel's parents were divorced at Rachel guessed her mother never called just in case Rachel's father answered. The pair of them hadn't talked in a while and Rachel was glad. Their arguments were probably the only ones which made her shed a tear.
"Can't a mother call her daughter every once in a while?" her mother chuckled. A long once in a while...Rachel thought bitterly. She would've given her mother a stern lecture if she wasn't so shocked.
"Well...how have you been?" Rachel asked as that was the polite conversation line.
"I've been great. My book store is making high profits." Mrs. Roth, (or that's at least that's what Rachel knew her last), said. "How have you been doing, darling?"
"Fine." Rachel replied, though a lot had happened since her mother had left her. Father upset and getting drunk, new friends were made and lots of strange episodes (metaphorically and literally). However, Rachel's mother was determined to find out what happened to Rachel.
"Are you friends alright? Have you got a part-time job? Do you watch T.V. more often?" she asked rapidly. Questions were flying out like wind. Rachel barely caught her words. The phone was like a blow dryer- blowing out questions Rachel couldn't handle all at once.
"What? Mother, what do you mean? My friends are fine, I haven't got a part-time job and I...guess I watch T.V. more often..." Rachel answered.
"Oh... that's good... because... well..." Rachel's mother paused for a moment for what seemed like to take a deep breath. "Have you recently acquired the occupation of performing?" It took Rachel a couple of seconds to comprehend her odd word usage.
"No. No, I haven't started acting." Rachel answered.
"But I saw you on television!" her mother blurted out. Rachel froze. Her mother had seen her on television? She must've watched Teen Titans...
"I... I... I'm not in television!" Rachel denied blatantly. Rachel heard her mother sigh.
"Please turn on the T.V. Rachel on channel 400," Rachel's mother instructed wearily. Rachel carried the home phone down the stairs and into the living room. She turned on the T.V. and once it was on, she switched to the channel Mrs. Roth had mentioned. There was a blast of colour and Rachel backed up onto a chair, regretting that she had stood right in front of the television. She quickly glanced at the time: 6:05pm. Wasn't it the Teen Titans marathon? That would make sense as Teen Titans didn't usually air at 6pm.
"Are you watching the television?" her mother asked her.
"Yes." She replied.
"Don't you see yourself?" she said. Rachel looked at the television and watched what was happening.
"I... yes... oh, my gosh!" Rachel gasped, dropping her phone. The phone call ended with a beep.

"He is there!" Starfire cried.
"No! That way!" Raven contradicted.
"It's him!" Cyborg shouted. Cyborg started firing at Trident, missing him after a few shots before correcting his aim. The alarms went off.
"He can't be in three places at once!" Robin said. "Head for that-" The power gauge for the T-sub started draining rapidly.
"The engines are fried!" Cyborg yelled. "We're going down!" The T-sub started sinking down the sea at an alarming rate.
Kori was watching the television however; most of her attention was handed to her homework. She continued looking and writing on her homework until she heard a familiar voice from the televisions.
A shadow appeared with two gleaming eyes. The water distorted as waves of energy was emitted from his forehead.
"You're friends are in danger." A deep, masculine voice said to the animal form of Beast Boy.
Kori looked up immediately, and her ears perked up. Beast Boy or Garfield replied back but Kori didn't hear the person speak again. She watched the episode now, giving it her undivided attention and forgetting about her homework. Then, she saw someone rise out of the water and onto what seemed like stone. She gasped.
"Oh my gosh it's Garth!" she yelled loudly.
"SHUT UP!" someone shouted from upstairs but Kori disregarded them. She quickly got her mobile out of her bag and stared calling Garth, her eyes still focused on the T.V. She frowned slightly as the show continued.
"I told the whales to bring you here." Aqualad said, as he went over to Raven. She blushed.
"Okay...uh...thanks..." she said, blush intact. Starfire popped up and was blushing a lot too.
"Oh, yes, truly, truly, thank you so much for saving us!" she exclaimed.
"Huh." Kori said to herself. She was really surprised how now, the show had included Garth as a handsome boy who appeared to love swimming and talking to animals. That was him alright. But now, it was starting to get quite creepy. The five of them included in a show was strange enough but the fact Garth was now in it made it even worse. What was even crazier is that, Kori hated to admit, that she and Rachel did acquire a mild crush on Garth when they first met him.
Teen Titans were officially stalkers. If that made any sense.
"Hello?" Garth had picked up the phone.
"Garth! Garth! Are you watching Teen Titans?" Kori asked hurriedly, eyes not off the screen. She didn't even offer him a reply to his greeting, she was very frantic.
"Er, no." He said. "I don't watch it. Kori, are you alright? You seem a little..." Garth tried to search for the right word but Kori didn't let him.
"Watch it! It's really strange! It's on channel 400." Kori ordered. Garth, behind his phone, started doing what Kori had told him to do and after a minute, he was watching Teen Titans.
"What's so strange about it?" he asked her before going silent. "...oh..."
"I know." Kori said.
"Wh...what! This is so...weird! How can they get people who look like us?" Garth demanded even though Kori wouldn't know the answer. "Is it the Teen Titans marathon today? Gar mentioned it on Sunday."
"Yes." Kori said.
"I'm going to check out the other episodes...to see if anything else is freaky..." Garth wandered off. "Bye. See you tomorrow."
"Bye," Kori ended the call and then chucked her mobile at her bag and it landed softly on the top of it. Kori then ignored her homework completely and concentrated on the show in front of her, slowly getting captivated...

Gar opened his eyes slowly at first as he recovered from the state of sleep. He had decided to take a nap after his shower (yes, he did one) and he was his mind was now clearer and more calm than before. He lay in his bed for a couple of minutes, trying to forget that he had homework to do. But instead he did remember than the Teen Titans marathon was airing. He at his own, comfortable pace got out of bed and out of his room. He brought himself down the flight of stairs and into the lounge where he planned to watch television. He turned said electrical appliance on and relaxed on the sofa, feet propped up on coffee table and remote in one hand.
He discovered Teen Titans already started and was a couple minutes through the episode. Gar let himself be captured in the episode and he focused on the plot. He forgot about worrying about his homework or his confrontation with Rachel tomorrow until...

"Cathy! CATHY!" a girl yelled as she ran over to her friend with an excited momentum. She halted neatly in front of her. Her excited mood seemed to grow on her friend.
"What is it, Helen?" Cathy asked her friend to find out why she was acting so hyper.
"Did you, like, see the Teen Titans episodes last night?" she asked, jumping up and down. Cathy eyes seemed to enlarge and she jumped in sync with Helen.
"Yes! I saw all of Season One until midnight!" Helen yelled. Only then did Cathy notice the sagging bags under Helen's eyes.
"Helen, how much sleep did you get last night?" Cathy asked, frowning.
"Doesn't matter. Though, if you really want to know, four hours, the usual!" Helen exclaimed. "Anyway, didn't you find 'Mad Mod' so funny? And what about Masks? Amazing! Car Trouble was great too, you actually saw Raven smile! Deep Six, was so great! Aqualad reminds me of someone...The Apprentice episodes...just riveting!" Their conversation continued with Helen doing most of the talking. Rachel was in hearing range. She was eavesdropping in their conversation as she had only watched Deep Six and no other episodes. She groaned internally at how crazy they were over a T.V. show. Fortunately, people had been pestering them less than before as they pestered and interacted with them enough during the Lunchtime sessions.
Rachel cringed at the thought of those said Lunchtime sessions. She tried to drown them out of her mind by focusing on, once again, Gar. She exchanged her books from her bag to those in her locker while thinking what was going to happen today. She was absolutely sure a lot was going to happen today. Especially with Garth's appearance in last night's episode. And what actually happened in the episode...
Let's just say, it was going to be difficult.

"Garth! Garth! Where the heck are you!" Toni marched through the halls seemingly to have acquired anger. Everyone in the school knew of her fearful and blunt words so they backed away from her to avoid being snapped at. She was attacked with wary eyes from the students who made themselves diminutive. Toni's swagger also was a feature one should be afraid of. Finally, Garth was in Toni's sight and she strode over to him. He was a bit intimidated by her shouts despite the fact she was his girlfriend.
"Garth, did you watch Teen Titans last night?" she asked immediately. Garth, after seconds of thought, understood
"Yeah. Look, Toni, I don't know why I was in the show!" Garth explained. "They-they just put me there!" Toni folded her arms.
"I see. And what's with charming all those 'ladies'?" she asked him, narrowing her eyes. Garth sighed. He was expecting this- even though it was only a show, he knew Toni would somehow get a bit irritated with the fact Garth's look-a-like was freely allowing Kori's and Rachel's look-a-likes drool over him. Perhaps it reminded her the first time Garth had introduced himself to the two...
"Look, me, I mean Aqualad is nothing to do with me. I can't help being attractive!" Garth exclaimed. "Anyway, you know Kori and Rachel don't like me in that way anymore. Actually, I don't think they ever did. It was only one of those childhood crushes." Toni unfolded her arms and her temper died down .
"Fine. But what I want to know is why some random, creepy look-a-like was in that show. There's already about eleven of them." Toni said. Garth mentally thought of all of the look-a-likes in his head.
"Wait, eleven?" he repeated, coming up with ten (The five Titans...Kori's sister...the weird, short, smart kid...the tall, on-steroids teen, Jenn and himself) . "Who's the other one?"
"Mr. Mod." Toni replied. "Y'know, the British history teacher? He's some villain in the show. No surprise. I find it atrocious I share a nationality with him." Garth chuckled and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"But it doesn't make you any different." He said affectionately. "I didn't see the other episodes, I was put off by the fact I was in one of them."
"Eh. I guess you didn't miss much. Sure, the episodes were pretty good and I have to say Apprentice was a great ending for the season, but I don't think it's anything special." Toni said.
"Anything special! Of course it is!" Toni and Garth whipped their heads around to see Gar with a shocked look on his face. Toni and Garth raised their eyebrows at Gar's behaviour. He approached them.
"Gar, hasn't Rachel told you enough? Teen Titans is the exact reason why-" Toni was cut off when Gar interrupted her.
"I know, I know. And speaking of Rachel..." Gar looked nervous and worried. He seemed like he was unsure about something. "I'm not sure what to say to her, about yesterday." By now, mostly everyone in the school knew of Gar's terrible mistake yesterday and even Garth and Toni cringed when they were reminded.
"Well..." Garth started. "If it makes you feel any better, Rachel really likes you so don't be afraid of rejection or anything. And all you have to say is that you're sorry about what happened yesterday and whether she'd still like to go out with you or not." Gar stared at Garth for a bit, judging the information in his head and whether it was valid for success. He came to a conclusion that it was.
"Wow...that...sounds like a pretty good idea, thanks dude!" Gar beamed at Garth, anticipating what might happen if Rachel accepted his offer for a trip to a fancy restaurant...

"Jenn! Karen! Hurry up, Roy!" Wally and Roy were speeding down the corridor which earned them a couple of awed glances, mostly at Wally because of his quick momentum. They were running for two reasons: one, so they could talk Jenn and Karen and second, so they could have a quick race after Roy remarked that he swore Wally had gotten slower over the past week. Of course, Roy was wrong as Wally reached the said ladies much faster than him. Wally didn't even break a sweat. Karen and Jenn weren't too amazed by that.
"Jenn! Karen!" he repeated. "Did you watch-"
"Yes we did." Jenn and Karen chorused, having already expected Wally's question. They had been interrogated two times before and were getting weary. Roy arrived at that time, panting and was in fact breaking a lot of sweat.
"You win." He panted, just barely uttering the words. He placed his hands on his knees for support as he bent down, trying to regain his breath. Wally, who was a little shaken by the immediate responses, grinned triumphantly while a hint of smugness flashed across his eyes.
"Great. You're gonna be my bag boy for the rest of the day." He got his rucksack off his shoulders and threw it on Roy's, a bit unwisely. He was shocked by the weight and his knees gave way, making him sprawled on the floor.
"Wallace Rudolph West!" Jenn snapped, using his full name so he could understand she was annoyed (and also to humiliate him...actually, that was the main point of it). Wallace, sorry, Wally cringed when his full name was said. A couple of people laughed in the hearing range as they'd never heard his full name before.
"Hey! What's so funny about it!" Wally protested. Everyone shut up.
"Anyway, Wally, what was your reason coming over here apart from killing Roy?" asked Karen.
"Karen, Vic wants to talk to you during Lunch." Wally said.
"Oh. Thanks Wally." Karen said. "Any idea what's it about?" He shook his head.
"Ooh! Did you see Garth in the episode Deep Six?" asked Wally eagerly. "It was so cool!"
"Yeah!" someone grunted. "Just about as cool as having a ton of bags on my back!" Three pairs of eyes swerved to Roy who was struggling to get up. They all helped him up, after a bit of struggling, and Roy attempted to straighten his back.
"What have you got in there?" he muttered, showing signs of pain when he clicked his back.
"I'm finding each episode weirder and weirder." Jenn commented. "Even Mr. Mod was in one of the episodes! Can you believe it? Him? Seriously?"
"I know! How awesome is it?" Wally grinned.
"It's not awesome, Wally!" Karen said firmly. "It's creepy. How is it that so many people look like us? One or two would be okay but eleven? They even have similar personalities. They're even similar, if not, same story lines for when we were younger! Like the time Rich and Vic had that argument..."
"Good point." Wally said after a moment. "What would you say Roy?"
"I'd say my back hurts like h-"
"No! What would do you think about all these weird look-a-likes?" Jenn sighed.
"Oh. Erm-ouch-I think it's crazy too." Roy said, wincing.
"Perhaps the creators somehow saw us on the streets and thought we were excellent superhero material!" Wally suggested. "I mean, our hairstyles rock. Look at mine!"
"I doubt that." Karen admitted.
"C'mon, it seems possible to me." Wally said. "Your hair...I mean...Bumble Bee material!" Karen raised an eyebrow. Her hair was in two buns at each side of her head which wasn't anything too astonishing.
"Are you hinting on the fact I wear black and yellow clothes?" Karen asked. "Because I don't always wear that combination."
"Yeah and I'm the Queen of England." Roy hissed at the side of his mouth, meaning to be an unheard remark.
"I heard that!" Karen barked.

A short, middle-aged man (this would be more obvious if he had not dyed his hair red) was shuffling some History Pop Quiz papers which had been marked lazily. He had a somewhat smug stature as he leaned against his desk with a 'proud' smile slapped across his face. He waited impatiently for his students to arrive. When they finally did, he had a quick glance at the time before advancing to the first arrivals.
"You're late, missy!" he snarled at a brunette. She blinked twice and then looked at the clock.
"Only by eighteen seconds-"
"Nineteen seconds now!" the teacher interrupted. "Now sit down! I need to talk to you Americans about something." The teacher, who more efficiently goes by the name Mr. Mod, went back to his desk and waited for all the students to get into the classroom.
Kori, Richard, Gar and Rachel were among these students and they sat themselves down quickly when they caught the uncomfortable stare of Mr. Mod. Yes, they had History on consequent days.
"Now, I'll begin this lesson even if some ruddy duckies haven't arrived yet." Mr. Mod announced. "I've marked your history pop quizzes from last week. Some of them just scraped past Mr. Mod's expectation line while some of them were ridiculously rubbish." He started handing the Pop Quizzes out, often muttering a comment about each pupil's mark. He never said 'excellent' or 'great'. The best comment he could give was: "Just scraped past Moddy's expectations." His face showed amusement when he approached Kori and Gar.
"Ahh..." he slammed down two quizzes on the table. Kori and Gar peered at them. There was no mark.
"Mr. Mod, we have no mark!" Gar cried out. Mr. Mod stood in front of their desk and leaned in a matter of seconds. Consequently, Kori and Gar leaned back to avoid smelling his putrid breath.
"You little snots did so badly that you go no mark! You! Garfield!" Mr. Mod turned to Gar. "For ruddy mother's sake, there is no Queen Elizabeth III!" Gar blinked.
"I knew I did something wrong..." he muttered. Mr. Mod stood up abruptly, sending a wave of air.
"And you two! Richard and Rachel!" he turned to them sharply. They jumped in surprise. "Did you just no revise? What, you think lazing around watching the television would be more productive?"
"Uh..." Even Rachel, who was the smartest out of the four of them, had gotten a low mark. Due to the Teen Titans business and tutoring Gar (which had come to a halt as of yesterday), she hadn't had time to concentrate on the test. And they weren't even meant to revise anyway, it was a pop quiz...it came out of nowhere!
"Though, that leads onto the other thing." Mad Mod swerved back to his desk, leaving the rest of the papers on someone's desk. "Since I'm famous now-"
People started sniggering at this point. Kori, Gar, Richard and Rachel exchanged glances.
"-I feel I should let you off. Y'know, being kind and all, so all of you ruddy runts can go and have a free period while I chat with these four duckies." The class were shocked by Mr. Mod's kind gesture and they filed out the classroom immediately. The 'four duckies' were, you guessed it, Kori, Gar, Rachel and Richard.
"You did terribly." Mr. Mod confirmed. "I can't accept it. People in my class need to excel and learn history- the right way. King Henry VII and VIII, Charles I and II, Queen Elizabeth I...none of you got even their names right. What's up with you? You're like the runts of the lot. Pathetic. So, for punishment for you disastrous result-"
"I thought we'd get a redo!" Gar couldn't help blurting out.
"No. It doesn't even deserve a redo." Mr. Mod sneered. Gar was a little taken aback. "Today. All four of you. Detention. Here." They looked at each other, already anticipating what was going to happen to them. Where they meant to write lines? Get beaten with a cane like the old English times? Slapped across the face? Endless work? The possibilities were endless.
"Now off you go before my eyes burn from looking at you." Mr. Mod ordered. They hurried out the classroom.

"What a lovely teacher." Rachel muttered sarcastically as soon as they were out of the room. "And what does he mean about being famous? Is it because he was on Teen Titans?"
"Well, a look-a-like was anyway. I guess they do have same personalities though." Kori said thoughtfully.
"Speaking of look-a-likes did you see Deep Six? I spat out my soda all over the T.V. when I saw Garth, sorry Aqualad, on the T.V." Richard said.
"I did! It makes me want to figure out who's behind this even more!" Kori exclaimed. "I wonder if Vic's finished the machine yet. We need to check out the dimension again, to see if it really is similar." They all agreed, though Gar hid behind them. No one really noticed him due to their lack of seeing him.
You can do this Gar thought as they walked. He needed to tell her so people would stop teasing him about being a failing flirt. Kori glanced back at Gar.
"Richard, how about we work on our homework assignment in the library?" Kori asked her friend.
"Huh? What homework assign-"
"Bye!" Kori grabbed Richard's hand and towed him off towards the opposite direction of the library. Rachel eyed them with a raised eyebrow before realising she and Gar were alone. She felt her heart race as she tried not to keep her expectations of Gar too high. He looked at her with his emerald eyes and then began speaking.
"Soo... Rachel... how have you been?" Gar asked conversationally. She raised an eyebrow.
"Fine." She felt a little disappointed and slightly annoyed by how much of a coward Gar was being. He seemed to realise that too and mentally told himself off.
"Rachel, look." He said, changing his tone. "I'm sorry I was acting all weird around you. I was kinda embarrassed at what happened yesterday." Gar tried not to remember.
"I see." Rachel said. "Look, Gar, if something like that happens, don't put it off 'till the next day."
"Yeah, I learnt that from how bad I was feeling yesterday." Gar chuckled nervously. Rachel raised her eyebrows in a way which meant: 'told you so'.
"I was wondering if I still had a chance." Gar blurted out. Rachel was a little confused.
"Chance for what?" Rachel said.
"Chance...doyouwannagooutwithme?" Gar spoke at an incredible rate.
"Pardon?" Rachel raised an eyebrow.
"I said...do you want to go out with me?" Gar spoke slower and at a more human rate. He hoped for the worst but received the best: a smile etched upon Rachel's face.
"Sure." She said softly. "You could've just asked me yesterday, instead of chickening out."
"Sorry," Gar said breathlessly. "So...Saturday? I'll pick you up at six." Rachel nodded, as it fitted with her empty schedule.
"Great...where are we going?" Rachel felt tingling in her stomach at the idea of going somewhere with Gar. She occasionally had a couple of day-dreams about it but often told herself off for it for doing so.
"Surprise!" Gar exclaimed. "Well actually, I have no idea where we could go..." Rachel rolled her eyes but secretly found it funny.
"We could go to the Pizzeria." She said.
"Good idea." Gar agreed. "So...what do you want to do now?"
"Perhaps we should make for the time we wasted for tutoring." Rachel suggested. Gar smiled broadly.
"Sure, Rachel." He agreed, in a way Rachel had never heard him speak before.
