"Oh hey April you want to hang out today?" Jack asked as he watched April water some open field. She was enjoying herself. April was floating just above her clouds. From time to time she would do a twirl or some trick. Jack knew that sometimes they would do the same things when they would create a storm together. If he wasn't dating Tooth he just might be dating her.

"Oh, um….I can't." April said. She wanted to yeah, but she already promised August that they'd go do another rainforest today. They do need watered too. Other days she'd probably say yes to Jack in a heartbeat. He usually ends up ditching her for Tooth anyway. Since she really didn't feel like being ditched today and knew that Mother would be mad at her for leaving August hanging. She had no choice but to say, "I have plans."

"With who?" Jack sounded upset. His tone almost made her change her answer. She had to stick with it though. Jack had to know that her entire world did no revolve around him. April had a life too, though it consisted a large part of Jack, it wasn't completely filled with him.

"August."

"I thought you hated that guy!" Jack sounded upset/angry now. April couldn't help but wonder what was his problem. She never yelled at him for hanging out with any of the Guardians especially Tooth. Why should it be any different if she hung out with another month? Yes, August wouldn't be her first choice, May would, but since May wouldn't be one for getting wet. August was the next best choice to help her with the rainforest.

"I got to know him better. We have a lot in common." They had many differences too. The two of them tried to set them aside when they came together. That way they wouldn't be constantly arguing with each other.

"WHAT ABOUT ME?" Jack threw his hands down in frustration almost dropping his staff.

"What do you mean what about you?" April said. "We're friends, Jack. August and I are just friends. What's your problem?" April didn't like Jack yelling at her. They'd had a few fights, what friends hadn't. This Jack was different from the Jack that she knew. It was almost like he was jealous.

Jack ignored her question and saw that April was wearing more summery clothing instead of her usual outfit. "Why are you wearing that?"

"What my shorts?" April was confused. Granted she never really wore shorts, but these made her legs look longer. Then she was in a tank top too. It wasn't her usual pants and hippie tie-dye and vest like she usually wore this time of year, but that was hot last time they were in the rainforest. She figured this would be better.

"YES!"

"I think there cute." April said. "Plus, where we're going it's hot." Or at least humid that would make it feel hot. April wondered briefly what it would do to her hair. That wasn't something she was looking forward too. Maybe she should braid it before they get there. That would help keep her hair together so it didn't look like she got out of bed right?

"Is it a date?" Jack asked.

August showed up before April could answer. "You ready?"

"Yeah. Look Jack…I gotta go? I'll see you later." April said.

As April left Jack couldn't help but feel angry at August. It made him even angrier when August put his arm around her shoulder as she laughed at something he said. Jack couldn't believe her. They were best friends weren't they? She should want to hang out with him not August. She hated August hadn't she? Since when had they become friends? How could he miss them being friends? Was he possibly spending so much time with Tooth he's missing out with April?

August and I had a lot of fun. We'd seen all these creatures and I thought they were amazing. I hadn't seen things like them ever except maybe in the zoo. I missed the zoo. Maybe I should go visit one. See a few lions and tigers. Maybe an elephant, I used to love elephants. I could go see some in the wild! I could take the nephews. I'm sure they'd love to see animals bigger then themselves.

First I'd have to take them sledding. Of course before that I'd have to make their shoes so they'll be able to stand the cold.

"April!" I turned and saw Jack. It's a little weird for me to see him this close to the Equator.

"Hi, Jack."

"I was wondering if ah…." He started to scratch the back of his neck.

"Shelia, I need you to watch the kids." Bunny popped up out of nowhere and quickly shooed me into the tunnel he created.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"Bit of a crisis and May can't watch them alone. Meet you at the Pole Jack!" He said before the hole closed up.

A/N: Another chapter. Tell me what you think with a review. I wonder what Jack was going to tell April or what's the 'problem'. Stay tuned to find out.
