YOUR POV
~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Tessa stared at me and camera-face-Cory with one of her 'evil-planning faces'.

"Uh-oh." I say, my shy voice getting the best of me, fearful of her thoughts. I mean, who wouldn't?

"What. What's wrong?" Cory asks confused. I look at him, a frown on my face.

"She's up to no good." I reply unhappily.

"I solemnly sware I am up to no good." She says, quoting Harry Potter.

"What ARE you thinking?" Nick asks her. Tess grins wickedly.

"For one, they're both single!" She hints. I don't like where this is heading.

"Ooooooh," He says. Cory was still clueless.

"What am I not getting?" He wonders aloud.

"Weeeeeeell . . ." Tessa starts.

And at that following moment, I felt a force from behind me smash my lips onto his.

I woke up with a jolt. That was probably one of the weirdest dreams I have ever had. I felt my head. Yep! TV's still there. Me and Cory actually had faces in that dream. Or, whatever it was.

   Wait a minute . . . Cory! I remember last night, thinking about what he said. We're all here for you, especially me. That's basically what he told me. We can get through this together. I digitally blushed at the thought. I think my circuits are frying, my screen is so pink!

   Do I? I can't. He doesn't. I don't. TOTALLY IRREVERENT.

I get myself dressed, which was a bit hard with the shirt necks and my TV head, and readied myself for the day ahead. I'm going to have to get used to this whole thing. Though, maybe Cory can help me on this.

   I walked up to Cory's door, not even bothering to knock on the door. Cory had just finished making his special chocolate chip cookies, pulling right out of the oven. He placed the tray on the counter and shut the oven door, taking off the mitts.

   "You need lessons?" He asks, as if reading my mind. I nod my head, giving him an awkward side smile. We were alone, as I had slept in until lunch time, and Nick and Tessa were on an outing in the park. She had previously called me to check up on my health, and I know this'll be a lot more frequent from her after the incident.

   "Heh, yeah . . ." I say, my voice slowly going into a mumble. I need to learn how to eat like this! And get dressed, and, well, yeah. He nods a couple times, taking off his chef hat and untying his apron.

   "Okay then," Cory tells me, "Let's hop to it." And so, for the next few hours, Cory taught me how to: Get dressed (he only took off his shirt to show me, relax), eat (it's complicated), walk around without being stared at (a little difficult), etc. But best of all, he taught me how to bake chocolate chip cookies using his super secret recipe that was carried from generation, to generation. Best lessons I ever took.

   Tessa and Nick came back around  five, five thirty-ish, when me and Cory had dinner all cooked up. We are best chefs. We were done with our lessons and hour before, so there was no need to continue on. Me and Tessa left the two boys to themselves, and walked over to our door, which is, as you probably know, only a couple feet away. Tess flops onto the couch, dramatically put her hand over her head, like some damsel in distress.

   "You like him." I point out smugly. She looks at me, acting all clueless.

   "By whatever do you mean?" Tess says, raising an eyebrow. I sigh.

   "Nick. Don't play dumb." I tell her, walking to my own room.

   "Maybe I do, maybe I don't." She giggles, causing me to roll my digital eyes. Scoffing, I stop at my door.

   "And I am positive that you do." I call back, slowly shutting the door, but not before hearing a quiet, "And I am positive that you are correct." I smile to myself, silently wishing her sweet dreams.

A/N: Sorry it's short! But!! I need you to COMMENT DOWN BELOW! Tell me what you think the ship name for Nick and Tessa should be! If if I find one I like, I'll be sure to use it. Ciao!
