Cleo's POV

Emma finished explaining to me what Lewis had overheard and I gaped at her.

"So now…."

"You have to go to the party with Justin."

"Emma, I'm so sorry! This is ALL my fault! I was so careless; I should have paid better attention."

"What's done is done. You didn't mean to. Just distract Justin as best you can."

So I headed off to find him.

Rikki's POV

"So what next?" Dean asked me as we stood outside the sub shop. He had his hands in his pockets and he was smiling like he was really happy. Don't tell anyone I said this, but… He was looking totally swoon worthy.

"You tell me," I smiled back.

Dean's POV

How about…a kiss? I thought as I looked at Rikki standing across from me. I put on a thoughtful face and stayed silent, knowing I only had like five seconds to decide if I was really going to say it out loud.

This girl, this one girl named Rikki Chadwick, had come into my life not too long ago and swept me off my feet. I had walked into the Waverly Sub Station looking for my first love, Alex Russo, and found Rikki. So we started hanging out and turns out that she's awesome. So now it seems that I'm finally over Alex and totally dig some girl who has a boyfriend that doesn't deserve to be with her. Oh yeah, did I mention she lives in Australia and has to go back in two weeks time?

Stupid Australia!

"Dean?" Rikki said, bringing me back to reality. Looks like my five seconds were up. I looked at her fraction of a second more then grabbed her forearms, pulling her in towards me. This was it!

But then guess what happened? My reason overtook me and I just kissed her on the cheek. "Whatever you want to do."

But THEN guess what happened? She gave ME a kiss on the cheek, then we both just smiled at each other.

Zane's POV

My spidey senses were tingling. Something was up.

Justin's POV

I sat at the beach, looking out at the water when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked behind me, but no one was there.

"Boo!" somebody said from the other side of me. I jumped so bad I fell over sideways into the sand. Cleo giggled as she looked at me.

"Hey you," she said. "How are you?"

"Me? I'm fine! Perfect! How about you?" I said nervously.

"Chipper," she said simply, then looked at the water. I could tell she was waiting for me to say something.

"So, Cleo, I was thinking…."

She looked over at me expectantly.

"Um, would you maybe… Want to go to Rikki's home coming party with me?"

She smiled. "Yeah. I'd like that."

YES! VICTORY SCREECH!
