It had been a few days since their vacation at the hotel. And a few days since Dante and Rose kissed. Crystal had used that as blackmail to get Rose to go on ANOTHER trip with Dante and the rest of the group. This time Crystal's cousin (who lived in a mansion) had invited them to spend the week with him. Every one else had immediately said yes expect for Rose who was all for staying behind. But then Shakira had said "But Dante will get bored without his little "girly friend". And we don't want that" and Rose really didn't want to go. But thus the picture of the kiss got the better of her. And that's how she ended up in the car sitting next to Dante. Crystal had to sit in the front to point out how to get there.

"You still mad at me, Cutie?" Dante asked.

"Stop Calling Me Cutie" Rose said.

"Aww but I want to call you cutie"

"Stop It"

"Stop What?"

"Stop Calling Me That"

"Cutie?"

"Shut UP, Dante!"

"You Still Mad, anyway?"

"Mabye…"

"Mabye? Is this a yes maybe or a no maybe?"

"ugh… you know what never mind" Rose said. She then proceeded to lean against Dante sighing. There was a camera flash from behind them. Nero looked at them holding the camera grinning.

"Kid, I'm going to kill you if you dare show that to anyone" Dante said. Kaida and Saphira held up their phones with the picture on both screens.

"Kaida, Saphira, can't you just leave the picture taking to someone else?" Rose asked. Crystal thrust her cell phone into Roses face. The picture was on that too. Rose groaned and face palmed.

"Why me?"

As they reached a top of a hill they could see the mansion. Crystal became excited.

"That's where were staying, guys!" She said. It was a beautiful mansion as they drove up. The gate was lined with roses. As the gate swung open Rose looked at the red roses happily. She was going to see if she could help take care of those beautiful red roses. Then they drove around a fountain. And Shakira stopped and they all got out. Crystal literally ran to the door and knocked as loud as she could. (which means that was extremely loud). The door opened with impressive speed. Standing there was crystals cousin. He had black hair with bangs that got in his face. He had dark blue eyes, and he was wearing a pair of faded black jeans, a brown belt, a black t-shirt, and very well worn sneakers.

"Crystal!" He said. The two hugged then Crystal got to naming off everyone.

"Shakira ,Rose ,Saphira, Kaida, Dante, And Nero" Crystal said pointing to each person in order.

"Hello, My name is Sage. Come on in" he said stepping back to let them in.
