Four days after Reid's birthday had gone by just a quickly as most of the others. December had began bringing the snow with it and in just three days Tyler would be having his own ascension. Lena somehow found herself with Tyler as she helped him put up a banner promoting the Winter Wonderland dance during their free period. Lena didn't get how she managed to get herself into helping. She did not enjoy standing on a ladder while wearing a skirt, regardless of the shorts she wore under it, the idea of the horny boys in this school didn't ease her mind any.

"So, what kind of spell have you put on, Reid?" Lena looked over at Tyler as he pinned his own side of the banner up.

"What are you talking about?" She asked. Tyler chuckled.

"Like you haven't noticed." Tyler said as they both climbed down from their ladders.

"Obviously I haven't…" Lena said as they walked down the hall. A girl walked by them and Tyler spun Lena around. "What--"

"See, hot girl. The kind that'll pretty much do anything with anyone." Tyler said.

"Last time I check, Ty. I was a girl and if I'm not mistaken I haven't found the same sex attractive in that way in the last twenty-four hours." Tyler rolled his eyes at her. "I fail see what you're getting at, hun."

"Reid would be all over that."

"I don't care about Reid's sex life, Tyler."

"Would you let me finish?" Lena sighed but otherwise stayed quiet. "As I was saying, Reid would be all over that, but he isn't."

"I would hope not, I mean I'm sure he'd have better class than that…" Tyler gave her look. She grinned. "Sorry, Mr. Simms, by all means continue."

"Point being is that he isn't and that's not like him. And he stopped maybe a week or so after meeting you. Not to mention during his birthday, you managed to calm him down so fast." Tyler said. Lena looked up at him as they had turned back around and headed in there original direction.

"So you're saying that I've some how changed slash have some kind of pull on Reid Garwin…?" She questioned.

"Exactly what I'm saying."

"You think he likes me don't you?"

"I don't think he does, I know he does." Lena laughed.

"You know what I think, Tyler." Tyler waited for her to go on. "I think you've been spending too much time with my sister. And for the record, I know for fact you like her." 'Two can play at this game, Ty.'

"What?" Lena smiled, she was successful in getting the attention away from herself.

"Oh come on, I see the way your eyes light up when she's around. And to be fair…She likes you too. Stop being so shy about asking her out. She'll definitely say yes." Tyler sighed in defeat.

"There's absolutely no where I can take her though. Dates around here are primary at Nicky's…I'm not taking her to Nicky's…" He said. This time Lena rolled her eyes as she stopped and placed her hands on his shoulders as she shook him. The scene caused some students to look at them in question as they passed.

"My God, man. We just put up a banner for the Winter dance. Ask her to that!" Lena said. "She'll drive me nuts if you don't. She'll just die if she doesn't go." Tyler grabbed Lena's hands and pulled them off his shoulders.

"Okay, okay. You can stop now. I get it." He said with a small laugh. Lena smiled and dropped her hands. "I'll ask her." He said. Lena smile grew. "About you and Reid now." Her smile faded quickly.

"Would you stop that?"

"Come on, you love him." Tyler teased as he poked her on her side.

"I do not! Stop it!" She said as he continued to poke her.

"Ok, fine, but really you love him, Lena." Lena opened her mouth to retort but didn't get the chance to.

"Who loves who?" Tyler and Lena looked to see Reid standing there looking at both of them with a raised eyebrow.

"Hey, Reid." They both said in unison almost nervously.

"What are you two up to?"

"Nothing, man. Um…I'll catch you two later. I've got to go return something to- See ya."

"Tyler!" Lena hissed.

"Bye!" He called as he headed down the hall. "Bastard! Damn…this is probably going to be awkward…" Lena thought as she and Reid watched him go. Reid turned back once Tyler had turned the corner. Lena continued to stare down the hall with a slightly pissed off look. Lena noticed him staring at her and she smiled as she turned to him.

"Hey…" She said.

"Hm…So who do you supposedly love?" Reid asked as he stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Santa Claus because he got me some pretty kick ass shit the last few years." Reid rolled his eyes.

"You're one strange chick." He said. Lena smiled. "What have you two been doing the majority of free period?" He asked.

"We were on our way to Pogue's dorm when we were stopped by Mrs. Green to hang up this banner for the winter dance thing. We didn't have the guts to say no." Lena explained as they walked under said banner. Reid looked up at it, then looked down at her.

"Should've figured," He said. "Are you going?" He asked. Lena shrugged.

"I might and might not, these type of things just aren't really my scene. What about you? Are you going to go?" She asked.

"Son of Ipswich." Reid replied with a sigh.

"Right, the community expects you to be there."

"That's what happens when your family attends this school for generations." Reid said. The bell rang signaling the end of free period. "You should go. To the dance I mean."

"Why's that?" Reid shrugged.

"It's only one night of your life." He said smirking before he ducked into the classroom. Lena blinked before she shook her head and headed to her own class.

It was official, Lena was going to kill Tyler Simms if it was the last thing she did. And that's sad considering it was his birthday and all.

"How come he hasn't asked me to the dance yet, Lenny?" Abby asked her as they stood once again in the Danvers' living room. It was much earlier than Reid's had been. Tyler had been born at exactly seven o' clock. Lena closed her eyes.

"I don't know, Abby. Maybe it has to do with the fact that he's about to ascend." She said.

"I know, I know. It's just that…ugh! I know he wants to." Abby said with a sigh.

"Well then stop complaining and worrying over it. Better yet, ask him yourself."

"I can't do that! Are you crazy?!"

"Yeah, I kind of am."

"Lenny!"

"What are you two bickering about now?" Pogue asked.

"None of your business, Nicholas." Lena said. Pogue glared at her, no one called him by his real name other than his mother when he was in serious trouble that is. Everyone else knew better. Lena rolled her eyes at his sour mood. "Cheer up. I won't call you by your given name again." Kate laughed from Pogue's other side. She obviously found it all quite amusing.

"Lena," Lena's attention went back to her sister. "It's going to start soon." Abby was right. Lena hadn't noticed the ominous power in the room. Tyler stood in the middle of the room. Never had she seen him so shaken in the time she'd known him. She looked over at Abby and saw how frighten she looked.

"Hey," Abby looked at her and Lena smiled at her. "Calm down. He'll be fine. Here." Lena held her hand out to her, Abby smiled gratefully and held onto her hand. Lena had a sudden wave of nostalgia…From years ago, when they were younger… She didn't go far into her thoughts when the clock struck seven and Tyler began to scream.

The screams weren't nearly as bad as Reid's had been…Perhaps because Tyler didn't use nearly as much as his brother. Regardless, it still looked painful as hell and it didn't keep Abby from squeezing Lena's hand. "I'm going to need a new hand after this." Lena thought as she winced at the pain in her hand.

The moment it was over, Lena felt the pressure on her hand release and the next thing she noticed was that Abby was on the ground next to Tyler hugging him as though afraid he would leave her at any moment.

"Geez, Sunshine. You'll kill him! Give Baby Boy some air!" Reid said with a roll of the eyes. Some of them laughed at his outburst, while others rolled their eyes.

"Are you alright?" Abby asked as she pushed his hair from his face. Tyler smiled at her slowly and nodded.

"You look like the one who went through this." He said. Abby blushed and looked away from him.

"I was just worried." She mumbled.

"You two are just too cute." Sarah gushed. Abby had helped Tyler off the floor and both of them had blushes to match.

"We didn't get you presents, but we did get you a cake." Kate said.

"Your name's on it. Even though Reid wanted to put something else on it." Caleb said. Reid smirked and shrugged.

"I can easily change that…" He said.

"No it's just fine, man." Tyler said glaring half-heartedly at him. He honestly didn't want Reid to have anything to do with the cake. He was his best friend and all…But Reid probably would have found a way to put worms in it just to get a good laugh out of it.

"You there?" Kate asked waving a hand in his face. Tyler shook his head.

"Yeah just thinking is all." He said. "Thanks you guys." He said as they gave him a piece of the cake.

"Hey, Tyler." Lena called. Tyler turned his head to look at her. "If you were to make a wish what would you wish for?" She asked casually.

"I don't know, why?" Tyler said.

"Curious…You know what I'd wish for? I'd wish for some snow, and then maybe I'd dance in it."

"I'll do it okay, Lena." Tyler mumbled. Lena smiled slightly to herself, happy that he caught on to what she was trying to say.

"What the hell?" Reid said speaking what was on everyone else's minds.

"So…um…What type of cake is this?" Tyler asked trying to change topics. "Nice move, Ty." Lena thought to herself.

"What the hell are you and baby boy up to?" Reid asked as they trekked across the frozen lawn of Spenser Academy. "Ever since that day during free period you two have been stranger than usually." Lena giggled as she pulled her coat tighter around her.

"Do I detect jealousy?" She asked. Reid didn't reply as they continued on their way. "What do you think we're up to?" She questioned.

"I've considered world domination." Reid mumbled. Lena laughed.

"The winter dance." She said after a while.

"What about it?" He questioned.

"That's what that was all about. He's all shy about asking Abby to it. And she's driving me insane since the moment she found out there was going to be a dance. I'll kill Tyler if he doesn't ask her soon." She said as they entered the warmth of Spenser halls.

"He's hopeless isn't he?" Reid said with a small shake of his head. Though there was a small smile on his lips.

"He's adorable." Reid scrunched up his face.

"Ew." Was the only thing he said. Lena laughed as they reached her room. She opened the door and stepped inside.

"Well come in, loser. You don't expect me to sit here and wait for Abby to get back by myself do you?"

"Loser, is it?" He asked following her in and closing the door. Lena smiled and jumped on her bed after she shrugged off her coat. "I'm sure you can come up with something better than that." He said sitting next to her.

The door swung open and shut just so fast it was amazing that someone had even came in.

"Lena! You won't believe--What is he doing here?" Abby said pointing at Reid sitting next to Lena.

"Nice to see you too, Sunshine." Reid said rolling his eyes standing. "I'll see you later, Lena." He said heading to the door. "Sunshine." He said to Abby as he opened the door and left, Abby rolled her eyes and slammed the door.

"What won't I believe?" Lena asked even though she had a good idea. Immediately Abby jumped in front of Lena like a hyper five year old. Lena giggled at her antics. She liked to see the people she cared about happy.

"Tyler!" She squealed happily. "He asked me to the dance. I was so happy."

"Obviously." Lena said with a small laugh.

"And then I kind of kissed him…" Abby said. Lena's mouth hung open slightly.

"How do you kind of kiss somebody?" Abby laughed.

"I don't know, but it was so nice y'know. It was the first time in a really long time I felt like a real teenager. There wasn't any stress. It was just me and him and it felt…right." Lena couldn't help but smile, it was incredibly cute.

"Don't run off and get hitched now. Remembered we agreed Vegas weddings are tacky." Lena teased. Abby laughed and hit her playfully on the arm.

"So, did Reid ask you to the dance?" Abby asked. Lena gave her a look, she knew she didn't go to school dances. "Still did he ask you?"

"He asked if I was going, I told him I might." Abby sighed.

"You two are idiots."

Reid sighed as he opened the door to his room. He wasn't surprised to see Tyler sprawled out on his bed.

"Hey, man." Reid said as he closed the door behind him. Tyler looked up at him.

"Hey, where you been?" He asked as Reid crossed the room to sit upon his own bed.

"I was with Lena." Tyler nodded as though it was of no surprise. "What's with the stupid grin on your face?" Reid asked.

"Just thinking about how today wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be." Tyler replied. "I finally asked Abby to the dance."

"Ah, so Lena won't have to kill you." Reid stated.

"She told you?"

"Kind of." Tyler sighed but made no comment on it. He figured she would have said something to Reid.

"What about you?" Tyler asked curiously.

"What about me?" Reid asked as he yawned.

"Did you ask Lena to the dance?" Reid looked over at Tyler.

"I asked if she was going, she said she might." Tyler rolled his eyes.

"You like her right?" Reid didn't reply, but opted to stare at the ceiling. "You're both impossible." Tyler mumbled. "That's why you need each other."

That's that. Like I said last chapter this is filler, but needed. The dance is obviously important. It's going to be...an interesting night to say the least. I'm working on it now. (^_^)
