~ Brian ~

 She fell asleep in my arms. I looked at her face. She was so beautiful. She looked like an angel. I kissed her forehead and she smiled in her sleep. As I kept watching Amanda, my mind wandered back to days before.

~ Flashback: Brian, 18 years old ~

 I had just knocked on Nick's door, when a cute 12 year old Amanda answered it. Her sister came up behind her. BJ bounced away giggling while Amanda stood there and yelled for Nick.

"You wanna come in?" Amanda shyly asked.

"Sure," I said.

As I walked in, she looked at me with her wide blue eyes and smiled.

~ Flashback: Brian, 21 years old ~

 "Nick! Get your butt moving!" I yelled at Nick.

"I'm coming! Keep it down. I'm on the phone with Amanda." Nick walked out just as a 15 year old Amanda walked by while talking on the phone. She looked at me and smiled as she walked on.

"Amanda says hi," Nick said.

"Tell her hi," I said as Nick told her.

~ Flashback: Brian, 23 years old ~

 "Ready?" Amanda asked as she walked down the stairs.

"Yeah. I'm really sorry AJ or Nick couldn't take you to the prom. I hope your best friend will do," I answered as I just stared.

She looked like Cinderella. Her light brown hair, almost a blonde, was up in a French Twist. It shined with sparkles as the light hit it from all directions.

"My best friend will do perfectly," she said as she smiled at me.

~ Present ~

 "Don't you think so?" AJ asked.

"Huh?" I replied as I came back to the present.

"Shelli's pretty," AJ supplied.

"Yeah, she is."

"We're here," Nick said as he parked the van.

I gently shook Amanda awake. She got out of the van and I followed behind her. I put my arm around her shoulders and she put her arm around my waist.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Amanda said. "I have to give you the gift."

~ Amanda ~

 Brian walked me to the door and waited for Nick to unlock it. We all walked into the living room. I took Brian's hand and led him to my room. As he sat on my bed, I made him close his eyes. I got out a stuffed chihuahua and set it in his hands. The dog had a peace sign jersey on with a black collar and a red bandanna.

I pressed the dog's stomach. "How about it baby?" Then, it made a kissing noise. "Me and you."

Brian laughed and opened his eyes. He pressed the dog's stomach. The dog repeated it's phrase in it's Spanish accent.

"So, how about it, baby?" Brian kissed me. "Me and you."

"Are you asking? Or telling?" I asked.

"Telling. Me and you."

"Are you telling me that you're my pet?"

We both laughed as Nick walked by my doorway and made a gagging noise.

"Amanda!" Aaron called as he ran into the room.

"What's up, squirt?" I asked.

"BJ's coming home tomorrow. She might end up going to Europe with the guys. I was kind of hoping she'd go with me." Aaron frowned.

"I don't know what to tell ya, bud. It's up to mom and dad."

"I'm gonna ask them tomorrow." Aaron left my room.

"Hey, where'd the happy face go?" Brian asked.

~ Brian ~

 "Hey, where'd the happy face go?" I asked.

"Brian. I want to go to Europe this time, but my mom's not sure about it. BJ might be able to go." Amanda had tears forming in her eyes. "I don't want to go a summer without you."

"Baby, I know how you feel. I wouldn't want to go a whole summer without you either. But, if you can't go with us, just remember that I won't hurt you. You can trust me." I wiped away her stray tears.

"I know. Now I feel stupid for almost crying." Amanda laughed.

"It just showed that you care about me. You can cry all you want. My shoulders are all yours." I laughed as she smiled.

"Come on. The party's downstairs," Nick said as he walked by the room.

"I have to change," Amanda said as she got up.

"All right. I'm gonna change in Nick's room and meet you downstairs." I kissed her gently before I left her room and shut the door.

"Hey, Frick," Nick said as he met me at the stairs. "Don't tell her, but mom decided to let her go with us. Mom and Dad want to sit down with her tomorrow to talk to her about it."

"Really? She'll be ecstatic. She was almost crying when she thought she wasn't going. It kind of makes me feel guilty to hide it from her." I smiled.

"Uh, Frick. Don't you have to change?" Nick asked.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot. Silly me." I walked to Nick's room to change.
