Dil wandered around, having gotten a little bored of Pokemon, and asked Dan when Talia would next be over. On discovering that she was going to be over in a matter of only 45 minutes, he began to get very excited. Then, nervous. Then, he was confused because he didn't know why he was nervous. An english lesson was nothing to be nervous about, right?

Of course, with Dil's extreme attraction to Talia, or whatever that strange feeling was, this was going to be much more than just an English lesson.

He showered, picked out his favourite clothes and even tried out something different on his hair, although it wouldn't work properly. Eventually, he began to hate it and returned it to its natural state.

He then began recite his previous learnings to himself in the mirror, in an attempt to perfect them for Miss McGregor's arrival. He wanted to impress her.

"Hi-lo...." He knew that was wrong.

"Hey-o?" Not quite correct, either.

"Hello? Hello! HELLO! HELLO! HELLO!" Dil shouted, extremely enthusiastic about his achievement.

In the next room, however, Dan and Phil weren't quite as enthusiastic.

"Was that..." Phil began,

"Dil? I think so." Dan interrupted.

Phil walked through, and was greeted by Dil, who was now around an inch away from his face,

"HELLOOOOOOOO!"

"Ouch, Jesus...hello to you too Dil."

"Hello!"

There was a knock at the door-several of them.

"That must be Talia, she's early," Phil muttered to himself,"Dan? Could you answer that?"

"Yeah, sure."

It was, indeed, Talia. Dan welcomed her in, offered her beverages, and then brought Dil through to greet her.

"Hello!" Dil said enthusiastically, happy to finally be in Miss McGregor's company.

"Oh, you've been practising- great! Hello, Dil!" Talia returned.

Dil took a moment to glance over how she looked, as she really was stunning. Upon realising that she'd noticed, Dil began to get very embarrassed and his skin began to redden.

"Haha, Dil, it's okay! Now, today we're going to be learning about questions! There are five main words that you will hear in a question...." Talia rambled on, Dil staring intently whilst fascinated by her knowledge and beautiful voice.

"Dil? Did you hear any of that?" Talia interrupted Dil's train of thought, returning his cheeks to their very red state and him being not quite sure how to answer her.

"Now, that was a prime example of a question! But it didn't have any of those words, did it?"

Dil shook his head, afraid to speak in case he messed up.

"Dil, I'm your English tutor, it's okay to make a few mistakes. Please, though, do answer me."

"Yes, Miss McGregor. Sorry, Miss McGregor."

She laughed, "It's okay! Just try and answer me from now on, alright?"

"Okay."

-------------------------------

By the end of his lesson, Dil had learned about the five question words.

"Who, what, where, why, when...." He whispered to himself again and again, making sure that he had them drummed into his head as quickly as possible.

"I'm really proud of you today, Dil. You've done really well!" Talia proceeded to embrace him in a tight hug, taking him by surprise. He hugged her back, and it felt a lot more natural than he'd expected. She was warm, although her curly hair had a tendency to make his face itchy and irritated.

Dil broke the hug so that he could scratch his nose, which Talia found quite cute.

"Oh, Dil, you're adorable! Anyway, bye!"

"Bye..." He drifted off. Dil was amazed by this woman.
