DAWN SITS AT the dinner table pushing food around on her plate. "You gonna eat anything, honey?" Isobel asks.

She nods. "Yeah, I'm just not that hungry right now." Dawn says.

"Well, you can go put it in the fridge if you're not hungry right now and you can eat it later." Isobel smiles.

Dawn nods and takes the plate into the kitchen and puts it in the fridge. "Hey, mom, can I make a call?" Dawn asks.

"Of course, honey!" Isobel calls. Dawn smiles and rushes upstairs to her room as she hears protests coming from her brother and sister.

She picks up her phone from the nightstand and dials Steven's number. It rings three times before Steven picks up. "Hello?" He answers.

"Hey, Steven, it's Dawn." Dawn says, her face now becoming red.

"Sunshine, I'm surprised to hear your voice at seven at night." Steven jokes. "Thought you'd be praying."

Dawn chuckles. "Yeah, well, my mom let me go from the table early." She says. "Anyway, I have a question for you."

"A question?" Steven asks. "Shoot."

Dawn lets out a shaky breath. "Do you wanna go on a date with me?" She asks. Steven stays quiet for a minute.

"A date?" Steven asks. Dawn nods, forgetting that Steven can't hear that. "Why do you wanna go on a date with me, Sunshine?"

"Why do you think?" Dawn asks. "I'm sick of denying these feelings for you, Steven. Either a yes or a no."

Steven chuckles on the other end. "Ok, then. Yes." He says. "I will go on a date with you."

Dawn raises her eyebrows. "Wait, really?" She asks.

"Yes, really." Steven says. "Talk about it tomorrow?" He asks.

"Uh, yeah, sure." Dawn says. "Have a good night, Hyde."

"You too, Sunshine." Steven says. Dawn hangs up the phone and lays down on her bed.

A smile spreads across her face and she giggles. She doesn't realize how long she's up there, because Maya comes upstairs.

"Mom wants to know if you're ok." She says. Dawn nods.

"I'm ok." She says.

"Um, Dad wants to make some cake for mom's birthday next week." Maya says. Dawn nods. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm ok." Dawn repeats with a small smile. "Are you ok?"

Maya nods. "Um, I'm gonna go get ready for bed now." She says.

"Ok, come back when you're going to bed, I'll say goodnight." Dawn says. Maya nods and walks away.

Dawn sighs and closes her bedroom door before putting some pajamas on. She grabs out her diary from under her bed and begins to write.
