She plopped down on the couch still angry with her so called friends upstairs. "Hey, your pretty when your mad," Nick said sitting next to her. She blushed and smiled at him, "but your gorgeous when you smile." "Nick, that’s so sweet." She said kissing him on the cheek. "Ohh…, Nick that’s so sweet," came Brian’s voice mocking her from the doorway. Nick picked a pillow and hurled it at him, he ducked and it hit Manda square in the face. In a matter of seconds it was an all out pillow fight.

Amanda was standing off to the side watching when Brian walked up behind her and smacked her with the pillow. He knocked her off balance and she fell onto the couch. She decided to get even with him, so she laid perfectly still and kept her eyes closed. The room got silent, "Brian what did you do?" accused Nick rushing the her side. She opened her eyes a crack and winked at Nick, he immediately got the hint and started hamming it up. "Amanda, honey, wake up, speak to me. Brian she’s unconscious, how hard did you hit her." Brian’s eyes were wide with fear, "I didn’t mean to I was just playing, hey wait a minute she’s smiling." Amanda had never been good at keeping a straight face. Her shoulders started to shake and pretty soon she bust out laughing. Brian breathed a sigh of relief, "okay we’re even now no more pranks okay." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Now that we have electricity want to watch a movie," Manda suggested. Amanda nodded, "can we watch Aliens, please." Nick looked at her shocked, "you like that movie?" "It’s my favorite. Why don’t you?" "It’s one of my favorites to." "that’s nice, but I don’t want to watch that," said Brian digging through the movies, "lets watch Ace Ventura" "That’s fine, I guess" everyone agreed. "All Righty then," Brian said in his best Jim Carrey voice. Manda giggled and settled down on the couch. Amanda went to get something to drink and Nick followed her. "Amanda can I ask you a question?" he said as soon as they were away from the group." "Sure." "Well umm… ya see." He stuttered. "Spit it out." she teased. "ok it’s like this, I know we just met and all, but I feel like I’ve known you forever, and I wanted to know if you’d be my girlfriend," he said in one breath. "Nick, that’s a big question I need some time to think. Okay I’m done. Yes I will." "Oh that’s okay," he said feeling rejected, "wait, did you just say yes?" She nodded, he ran to her and picked her up spinning her around, "great, now," he said lowering her to the ground, "lets seal it with a kiss." "My pleasure," she whispered as his lips met hers.
