“So, we have a name.” Cass hooked her arms around his waist. “What’s step two?”

Cass flinched and recoiled as if he’d hit her. She turned abruptly, covering her mouth as her shoulders shook.
“What next?” She asked in a strangled voice.

"Am I freakin' Puerto Rican or Dominican?" Carrie stopped singing her favorite song from the Scrubs musical she had on tape long enough to realize something. She was bored out of her tree. (^^ Thanks to my friend Jessyca for the tree thing) She watched virtually every musical movie she had and it was only ten.
She popped another kernal of the buttery popcorn she'd made herself from scratch and took a long gulp of soda from her favorite mug. It had a coffin with a skeletal hand reaching out towards a phone with the words 'I ran out of sick days so I called in dead' written accross the white surface. Maybe she should call Cassie or Jack over. She was pretty sure they weren't doing anything tonight. But, no...They could barely sit still while watching TV with her, so she doubted they'd be able to sit through a few more movies.
She knew Xander was busy too, studying hard for college. She knew she shouldn't disturb him. But damnit, she was bored and lonely! Her parents were out on one of their 'Just Us' nights. Being an only child, she had no older siblings to annoy and no younger ones to torture.
She reached down to grab up the cordless phone off her bedroom floor. She dialed Xander's number and rolled her eyes when she got his answering machine. "Der Der? Der Der, Der Der? Der Der, Der Der, Der Der, Der Der?" She grinned to herself when she realized she was saying his name to the Jaws theme. "Hey, guy, it's Cars. I know you're home. Hehllooo?"

Cass’ eyes bulged with fear and then narrowed when she turned back to face Xander, but there was no hiding the hurt that lingered, threatening tears. Her shoulders bent in rhythm with her breath as if she was trying extra hard to not start crying.
“You can’t tell anyone,” It wasn’t so much a demand as it was a plead for mercy. “Not Carrie, not Jack… especially not Jack. His dad was on the Council, he knows the rules, he’d kill me or turn me in.”

Xander nodded mutely and glanced at the phone, at Cassie, then back at the phone, wondering if he should answer

“What next?” Cass asked, pointedly ignoring Carrie’s voice in the background.

“Xand?” Cass sat on the edge of his bed, pulling her knees up against her chest. “Why’re you doing this? I mean, why risk everything?”

“Oh.” Cass sighed, resting her forehead on her knees. “So you’re not still mad at me?”

"We're like family, Cass." Xander hedged. "Even if I'm mad, I still care."

Cass sighed again, that wasn’t exactly the answer she wanted either. “But you are still mad.”

Xander shrugged slightly, dismissing it. "That doesn't matter."

“Maybe not to you.” Cass whimpered, rolling onto her back and turning her back to him, curling into a fetal position. “We gonna go back to ignoring each other after this?”

"Xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaander?!" Carrie groaned. "Wow, this is a logn message. Anywya, call me back, okay? Much love." Carrie clicked the phone off and flopped back onto her bed, twiddling her thumbs as her show played on.

“You don’t like me anymore.” Cass bit at her lip, sounding relieved and bitter and tired at the same time.

"That's not the issue." Xander sighed and walked over to his phone, hitting the speed dial to call Carrie back, maybe putting some space between himself and cass

Cass followed after him, pulling the phone chord from the wall and staring up at him with a look that for once in her life wasn’t calculating. “I think we should talk.”
