The cold air whispered with the trees as the wind ran along against Ed's skin.  A puff of air left his mouth as he licked his lips for warmth.

"I hope you know," Leigh chattered from the cold air as she held her curls to her cheeks with the palms of her hands.  "Licking your lips only makes it worse." With her mitten covered hands, she tried to take the Chapstick out of her pocket but it fell sinking in to the snow.  "Shit," she picked it up and handed it to him,"here." He opened it with a pop with his teeth as she rolls her eyes and applies it on his lips.

"Thanks." He smiled at her as she rolled her eyes playfully at him and a small smile danced on her lips.

"My pleasure." Silence filled the air as Ed chuckles.

"That sounds so wrong." Ed laughs at her handing he Chapstick back as she shoved it in her fluffy coat pocket.

"How about you, shut the fuck up?" She tilts her head to the side as they laugh hard together.

"Are you going to the winter dance?" He asks like he did when they were younger.

"You going to the dance Lee-Lee?" Ed asked with his small acne covered cheeks turned to Leigh.  She nodded her head as her shoulder length curls bounced on her shoulders.

"Maybe, I have to ask my mom though.  I want to get a pretty dress." She smiles in the air and pipes," with my makeup done!  I'll look pretty." She smiled to herself as Ed stared at her.

"You're already beautiful." He whispered.

"What?"

"Nothing, I just said that I'm gonna ask Jenna."

"I bet she'd say yes Eddie.  You think Caleb would ask me?"  Leigh asks blowing air in to her cheeks as they puffed up like bubbles.  Ed collided his hands with her cheeks as they deflated and they laughed.

"I bet he would." He responded but knew he wouldn't and wanted to  catch her when it hit her that he like Chloe.  She smiled to her self and rocked on her heels.

"Really?  You truly mean that?" She asks staring up at him.  She was 5'0 and he was already 5'6, but he found it cute when she looked up at him. 

"Yes Leigh." He sighed looking at the sky was snowflakes fell. 

"I hope so." She smiled to herself and blew air out of her mouth.  "I really like him Eddie."

"I know Leigh, I know."

At the dance:

"They're dancing Ed." Leigh whines leaning against him as she stared at the formal dancing Caleb and Chloe.

"I'm sorry, his loss." He looks down at her as she nods with a forced smile.  "Please smile."  She smiled wider and rolled her eyes and frowned.

"You said he'd ask me out.  You knew he wouldn't why didn't-" Ed hugged her tight as she closed her mouth.  Her body was tight, but she sighed and relaxed against him and closed her eyes. "Thank you."

"My pleasure."

"I need to go dress shopping Ed!" Leigh shouts to her phone from her bedroom as she tighten her grip on her towel.  She brings it up to her face as Ed smiles at her through the phone.

"I'll go with you."

"Ed,"she whines but smiles and giggles," ok, but you're buying me food."

"Whatever you want."

The mall was crowded with bleached blonde makeup caked covered blue eyed perfect figures teens.  It was as if they were one person duplicated and duplicated and so forth.

"I want a dress to hug me curves." Leigh said in an Irish accent as Ed laughed.

"Ok my lady."  She did a cursory as he bowed and they giggled.  She stumbled and almost fell on some guy. 

"Sorry buddy." She mumbled as she looked up to come eye to eye with a green eyed boy. 

"Harry?"
