Violet woke up actually excited to go to school, she looked for something she could actually fit, that she thinks Charlie will like to see her in. She goes downstairs and makes herself something to eat and gets a phone call.

"Jenny, hey."

"I'm making sure for your father, and myself, honestly, that you're going to school."

"Yeah, I'm getting ready now, actually!"

"Is that… joy in your voice?"

"Something happened Saturday night; I have a boyfriend."

"Lemme guess… is it Charlie?"

"Yes! You should've seen him, we were at the comic book store, some guy was hitting on me, Charlie got sooo jealous! I knew I had to ask him out."

"I'm happy for you, hopefully you have a good day today," she hung up


Sally danced around the living room while Charlie stared at her.

"You act like you were never going to see Linus again."

"I get to see him at school, since I'm still grounded."

"At least it's just until Wednesday now, since you apologized to them both."

"Shouldn't you be happy with three girlfriends to show off," she leered.

"I am happy… thankful, can't wait to see them."

"Well let's go!"


"My darling, we will be together again," Linus sighed.

Lucy looked at him after taking a sip of coffee.

"What? I know it's been two days."

"I feel the same," she gave a warm smile.

"Both of us; foolish romantics, yeah?"

"I don't see a problem, do you?"

"Not at all, right Rerun?"

"I can't think of many things better than being with the one you love."


Patty put on her pentacle necklace she hadn't worn in years, she was feeling rather spiritual, wearing a few dangl bracelets and a tunic, shorts and sandals. She looked at herself in the mirror, grabbed her backpack, warmed up two Pop Tarts to eat before leaving.


The Browns and Van Pelts shared morning kisses before getting in the car.

"You're dating Charlie… cool," Rerun said.

"I am."

"No wonder you were so happy this morning."

When they stopped at a red light, Lucy would pull Charlie into a kiss.

"Now who's obsessed with kissing," Sally teased.

"Lucy is," Charlie smiled.

"Do you not like my kisses?"

"I do," he tried to kiss her.

She leaned away, "nope, you're not obsessed with them."

"Lucy…"

"Green light, Charlie," she pointed.

He kept glancing at her as he drove, he tried to kiss her and she would lean away. She made a game of it where she would lean close to him while he drove and move when he stopped. Charlie sighed and grabbed her face and kissed her.

"Don't you take my kisses from me."

"So yo do like my kisses?"

"Love'em."


They pulled in the student lot and met up with some of their friends.

"Hiya gang," Peppermint Patty greeted.

"Hey everybody, oh Emily, I need to talk to you," Lucy said.

"Okay, sure," she stood off to the side.

"You were right," she hugged her.

"I was right, about what," she looked confused.

"Me and Charlie. You said if I played my cards right, we could be together."

"How did it happen," Emily smiled.

"Saturday. The three of us opened up to him and asked him out, and he said yes."

"The three…?"

"Yeah, about that; Violet and Patty are dating him too. It really was an all or nothing proposition, he felt the same, that he didn't want to pick just one of us and he had fell in love with the three of us, anyway."

"Poly relationship, huh, takes a lot of work. Are you girls ready for that?"

"I think so. Patty had us do some personal relationship building thing, when he left that night."

"Like what? I know of this naked ritual thing that some Pagans do, that may or may not include sex magic."

Lucy blushed and looked away.

"Did you girls do a naked Pagan rite?"

"I don't know… I guess? It was Patty's idea."

"Really, did you enjoy it, is Patty Pagan?"

"We all did. I don't know what her religion is, you'd have to ask her."


Violet pulled in the parking lot still in a good mood, walked towards where they were standing, she waved at Patty pulling in.

"Hey Charlie," Violet hugged him.

"Vee," he gave a quick kiss.

"Was that what I think I saw," Shermy walked up with Peggy.

"It was, we're dating now," Violet smiled.

"Nice, you two, I hope you're happy together," Shermy said.

"So far I am," Charlie said.

"Me too."


Patty ran into Frieda and Schroeder walking to the rest of them.

"Looks like somebody is floating on cloud nine," Frieda teased.

"Did something happen," Schroeder wondered.

"Mm-hmm. I asked Charlie out and he said yes."

"Congrats, Pat! I know you'll be happy with him," Frieda smiled.

They went to catch up to the rest of them as they were going in.

"Charlie," Patty waved.

Schroeder and Frieda smiled and kept walking while he waited up.

"You got the best girl, man," Schroeder patted his shoulder.

"Morning new boyfriend."

"Morning new girlfriend," he kissed her and held her hand.


In the line the girls were with Charlie and by this point the others were used to them being close like they were. They sat at their usual table, but Shermy joined them, asked by Violet, because she liked to listen to Charlie talk, until everybody parted ways for the first period.

"Mister I want more than that peck you gave me earlier," Violet.

She pressed him against a locker and kissed him deeply.

"What am I seeing here," Janice gasped.

"Me and my boyfriend, Janice. I'm not going to make the same mistake I did with Shermy."

"Only time will tell… good luck, the both of you," she walked away.

They continued making out a bit longer before walking her to class.


"Oh Patty! Patty," Emily ran up to her.

"Yeah, whassup Emily?"

"I heard you were in a poly with Charlie, Violet and Lucy."

"I am."

"Lucy told me about your rite that you girls did and I was wondering," she leaned in, "would you happen to be Pagan?"

"I… yeah, actually I am. I strayed away from it, but after talking to my mom; it's a part of who I am and I hope Charlie and the girls are okay with it."

"I'm sure he is perfectly okay with it, he's never judged me or Lamar."

"I'm just nervous about telling… all of them."

"It will be fine, nice tunic by the way, I love it!"

"Thanks! My mom actually made this for me."

"You gotta hook me up, Patty!"

"What are you wearing," Melody walked up, "anyway… tell your friend she gets hers today because guess who's off suspension? It's payback time for Violet!"

"Not if I can help it, just leave her alone," she growled.

"It's not my call, I'm just the messenger," she shrugged and walked away.
