As Taylor didn't want to let his dear boyfriend return to his house alone, he decided to accompany Shawn to his home. The two are walking side by side, hand in hand by the moonlight. They just made love, for the first time and for both of them, it was a fabulous experience and it's a big step in their relationship and to top it all, Shawn and his mother made up earlier in the afternoon. In other words, life is nice to both of them.

"The night is so beautiful..." says Shawn in a whisper while looking upwards, towards the stars and the moon. "Not as beautiful as you." replies Taylor tenderly with a little smile. "Aww, you're so sweet." says Shawn before kissing his boyfriend on the cheek.

"Why do you love the night?" asks Taylor as he remembers Shawn telling him how much the night was beautiful so many times before. "It's because...I feel safe during the night. There's no school, no studies, no big heat and...when I get on my bed...it's like if the world stopped hurting me...like if...the one above forgot about me." explains Shawn with a sad emotion in the voice.

"Hey...why are you so sad all of a sudden?" asks Taylor noticing the sadness of his dear boyfriend. Shawn turns his head and a smile appears on his face, "No, I'm not sad! Hehehe, you asked me something and I replied." Taylor smiles back, "I love you so much, dolphin!"

"Dolphin? Why do you call me dolphin?" replies Shawn before a little laugh. Taylor stops walking and comes infront of Shawn, "Well, it's because the dolphin is very very ticklish, sounds silly, huh?" Instead of replying with words, Shawn gives him a big kiss on the lips, "It's really sweet. But, now, I have to find a love nick for you, mmm...I know! I love you...cookie!" They both laugh, "It's coz' I love cookies so much?" asks Taylor, smiling. Shawn nods in agreement.

They continue their way towards Shawn's house, chatting and kissing. Finally, they arrive infront of the door, they're smiling to each other. "Thanks a lot for the...surprise." says Shawn in a whisper. Taylor comes closer to his boyfriend to give him a kiss but...the door opens.

"Here you are finally!" says a happy Maria. The two boys makes a step backwards in surprise. "Maria..." says Shawn in a whisper, smiling. "Well, I'm sorry to bother you, but mom asked me that when you get home to tell you to go and take a bath and dress up nice, we're going out."

In the "big teens' yard", a party is being held. Every twice a month there's a party made by the students of Sunrise High. It's not always really 'highly' attended. Tonight, there're only 10 to 14 students. And among them, Kristine and Christopher.

"Finally, on monday next, I'll get my revenge!! Oooohhh, I'm gonna love that! Oh yeah! I'm gonna love that!!" says Kristine with a happy emotion both on the face and in the voice. Christopher looks at her with a 'low' look on the face, "What's wrong?" asks Kristine noticing it.

"It's just that...I feel sorry for the guy. I mean, he didn't do me anything and...I'm gonna do this...horrible thing to him. You can't blame me for feeling a bit...you know...shameful." explains Christopher with a sigh. Kristine approaches him and gives him a little hug, "Christopher, I'm not such a crual girl, you know. But, I need to see him suffer...just once...only once...and then I'll feel better. And all you need to say to yourself is that...I'm the one who will do it to him, not you, all right?" Christopher nods in agreement, after all, Kristine just asked for his help, it's not like if he's the one who decided to hurt Shawn.

"Now, let's go and dance a bit, ok?" asks Kristine with a happy smile. "All righty!" replies Christopher, smiling back.

Teri is walking down the stairs with a smile on her face, she's talking to someone on the phone. She's alone in the house, her sister has gone somewhere and her parents are at a cocktail dinner. Teri's wearing a dark pink t-shirt, long black shorts and she's barefoot. She sits on the couch, still talking to that someone on the phone.

"So, it's okay? You agree to my plan? Yeah...I'm sure by doing it this way, we're going to catch that...yeah...yeah...sure. Thanks a lot for your help. Yeah...everything will be fine, I'm sure. Thanks again...yeah... good night!" And she hangs up. She's happy and the smile on her face shows it. She has finally found the solution to her problem.

"Ah, my life will be soon back to normal." she whispers but then, she remains silent for a moment, "Well...almost normal."

She turns on the t.v and start watching a movie, 'I still know what you did last summer', it's a kinda cool movie for her. But, even with the t.v on, she can't stop thinking about what is going soon to happen...

"Here's a pic of him. We got it from his folder at school." says a tall and well built boy and by his side stand two shorter boys but they look as strong as him. He gives the pic to another boy infront of him, the boy looks shy and and not really strong.

"But...what should I do?" asks the boy a little bit confused. The taller boy approaches him, "It's very easy to understand, all you have to do is to go and talk to him and ask him to come to the boys' toilets with you. You'll pretend that you have to tell him something very very important. Did it enter your little brain?"

There's a little moment of silence, the weaker boy is staring at the pic, "But...what if I get into trouble?" he asks with fear in his voice. The taller boy sighs, "Do you want us to be friends? Yes or no? If you don't want us as friends, I can always ask someone else but then...I'll have to kick your..."

"No!! I'll do it!!" yells the weaker boy interrupting the taller one. The latter breaks a smile and rub the hair of the weaker boy with his right hand, "Good boy." he says before going away with his friends. The weaker boy stares at the pic, he knows what he has to do but... he's scared.

"Oh...what did I do?" he asks to himself with anger, sadness and fear. He folds the pic small enough to enter his pocket and he decides to return to his home. As he walks towards his house, his eyes fall on a Pizza-Restaurant. He takes out his wallet, and realizes he has enough money to buy himself a small pizza, "Oh well, I didn't really eat today. So maybe a little pizza will make me feel better..." and he walks towards the restaurant.

Kevin is in his room, he just took a long and hot bath. He's wearing a black t-shirt with dark green briefs and he's in white socks. He is sitting infront of his desk, all is well arranged. That is, books are well placed, the pen and pencils are in their respective boxes, a pile of papers well squared, and finally, a little diary, opened, Kevin's diary.

With a blue inked pen in his right hand, he's thinking of what happened to him during the week, well, not much but...the little that happened is very important to him. He fell in love...yep, he fell in love, once again. The first time was a catastrophe, but will the second time be better?

Dear Diary,
During this week, I met him, yes, I met him. The love of my life. I knew he was the one since the very first day we met. He's so nice, sweet and he also has a nice ass! :) Geez, but it seems that he's already taken. What can I do? Make some plans for them to break up? No, I can't do that to him. He'll suffer and he seems to love his boyfriend so much. But, maybe if he sees me a lot of times and if I'm really good and cool, he'll fall in love with me...oooohhhh, it would be sooo cool. And you know what?? We're in the same class, oh, it's so cool. Maybe it's destiny? Yeah! Maybe destiny made me come in the same class as him, cos' he's the love of my life. Apart from that, nothing really happened. Oh diary, I wish so much that he'll be mine. I don't know if I'll be able to resist the envy of kissing him, holding him and...oohhh. He has such a cute face, such a nice voice and body. I love him so much!! Well, that's all diary, see you next week!

He closes his diary and puts it in a safe place. Then he turns off the lights and get in his bed, removes one of his socks and get under his blankets and starts 'dreaming' of the love of his life. He rubs his sock and pleasure is filling him...

Teri has prepared herself a sandwich, a glass of fanta and now she's infront of her t.v watching 'I still know...' Then, the main door opens, and Jessica enters the house, she looks a little bit tired. She climbs the stairs and notice her sister, "Hey..." she says with a happy emotion in her voice. "Jess, what are you doing here?" asks Teri as a reply, she's kinda surprised to see her popular sister, Jessica, at home on a friday night.

"I knew you would be alone and...well, I didn't want you to feel...you know, lonely." explains Jessica with a smile before sitting next to her sister. There's a little moment of silence, "Jess, do you feel alright? You're not dying, are you?" asks Teri as she puts the t.v in the mute mode.

"What??" asks Jessica in amazement and shock. Teri stares at her for a moment, "That's not you at all Jess. To stay on a friday night with your sister just because you think she feels lonely. That's not you..." Jessica sighs, she looks upwards then she looks back at her sister while putting her hand on her's, "You have such a bad and wrong opinion of me. I think you forgot the days when you were sick and that I was the one who was always by your side, the first time you entered that dance-school, I was the one cheering for you and I was the one who helped you out when you thought you wouldn't make it, and what hurts me more is that you never ever thanked me for being at your side. But, I guess I was happy to be able to help my sister whom I loved dearly and whom I knew would never do anything to hurt me. Sure, it's when we were 8 or 9 years old but I think when we entered our teenagehood, we went in different directions and you didn't seem to care about me anymore." explains Jessica with a sad sigh.

Teri is speechless, her sister was right. She approaches Jessica and gives her a hug, "Jessi, I'm so sorry. Thanks a lot for being here with me, thank you so much!" Jessica breaks a smile, a smile of happiness and satisfaction. She always wanted to hear those words from Teri, she always wanted it.

As for Teri, huge mass of regrets are punching her heart, how could she forgot about all what Jessica had done for her in the past? How?? But now, she realizes that she was the one who was the 'bad sister' and now, she's gonna change, yep, she's gonna change. She and her sister stare at each other for a moment, before breaking into tears...tears of joy, tears of sadness and regrets. Jessica love Teri lots but Teri didn't know that, she forgot about that, how? She can't tell. But what's sure...what's really certain, is that she's going to be the sister that she should have been all the time...

Heather Rulin invited her children and their boyfriends to eat a pizza. She said she wanted to talk to them all, Shawn, Maria, Taylor and Michael. The latter was with Maria when Heather decided to go to the Pizza Restaurant, so he couldn't refuse. Same for Taylor, he was going to go back to his house when Maria asked him to stay and then, Heather asked him to come to the Pizza-Restaurant.

They are now all sitting at a table near a big window, they already ordered some pizzas, a margarita(tomato, cheese and some bits of chicken) for Shawn and Taylor, a sea-food one for Maria and Michael and finally, a double cheese and meat one for Heather Rulin. They're talking about everything and anything...but...the two persons not talking to each other is Shawn and Michael. The two had some kind of...problems...before, about Jessica.

After they finished their pizzas, Heather Rulin asked Maria to go in the car to fetch her handbag, she completely forgot it and she asked Shawn to go and get some desserts for everyone, Taylor offered to go with him but Heather asked him to stay, with a smile on her face.

The two children gone, Heather asked for the boyfriends' attention. "Listen you two, we have to talk a little bit about...Shawn and Maria. Michael, you seem to be a nice and good boy and you seem to love Maria a lot. My daughter is a very kind and romantic girl, so, please, don't force her to do something she's not prepared to, ok? I'm not saying you're that kind of guy but...it's just in case. All right?" Michael smiles and nods in agreement. Then, Heather turns her head to the other boyfriend, Taylor. "I know you since you're a little kid so I know you've always been very good to Shawn. But now, you're a teenager and...well, maybe you've changed. I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Michael, please, if ever you and Shawn do it...please...do it carefully and...use...you know. Do it the very very safe way." She puts one hand on the right hand of Taylor and the other hand on the left hand of Michael, "I hope you will not break the hearts of my two babies. And I hope you've understood what I've just told you." The two boys nod in agreement and with a smile.

"I will never ever leave Shawn." says Taylor almost in a whisper, "And I will...try to stay with Maria. If we're meant to be together, then we'll be together." adds Michael. "Thank you." replies Heather with a smile.

Michael notices Shawn near the counter and decide that it's time to make peace with him, "I need to do something. Excuse me." he says as he gets up. Taylor smiles to him as he guessed what he needed to do.

Michael approaches Shawn and breaks a smile, "Hey, I thought you might need some help carrying so much desserts." Shawn turns his head and tries to smile back, "Thanks but with my ability, I guess it won't be such a problem." They both remain silent for a moment, then Michael decides to break the ice. "Shawn...look...I'm sorry to have bothered you so much about Jessica and all but..."

"It was my fault. I'm the one who should apologise." replies Shawn interrupting Michael. "But don't get me wrong. I still don't think Jessica's a bitch and you shouldn't think that too." Michael looks at him, surprised by what Shawn just said, "What do you mean?" Shawn realizes he just made a mistake. If ever he tells Michael that Jessica might be still in love with him, it would mean the break-up between Maria and Michael. "Nothing but...she's a nice girl, she's really nice to me. That's why I...told you that." lies Shawn. There's a little moment of silence, "So now, we're buddies?" asks Michael with a smile, "I guess." replies Shawn smiling too.

"Here're your desserts, sir." says the person behind the counter. Michael takes three of them and heads to their table. Shawn takes the two other but as he was going to walk towards the others, he bumps into someone but no damage. "Oops, sorry." says Shawn with a smile.

"No..no...no problem." replies the boy he bumped in. It's the 'weak-boy'. "Ok then." says a smiling Shawn before heading to his table. The weak boy looks at him as he walks towards the table and then he gets out of the Pizza-Restaurant. He's already feeling guilty.
