Just then, Frank walked in and scoffed. "Ewwwww stop flirting!!!" He whined and I laughed practically falling off the bed.

"Flirting?" Gerard asked. "Frank, do I have to bring up the fact that you literally had a potato sitting on a pedestal for weeks because you thought it was 'the most perfectly shaped potato you've ever seen'? So sorrrryyy if I might be flirting with a girl, because you know, that's completely unheard of in this house of idiots." He laughed. Frank crossed his arms and looked at his feet with a small smile on his face.

I was just sitting there and giggling, even though I was really thinking about what Gerard had said, he was trying to flirt with me? Or was he just making a point that Frank is an idiot for finding flirting weird. I admit, when I was talking to him, I didn't consider it flirting, because all that was said, was I thought his voice was beautiful, and then he threatened to make me sleep on the floor.

Frank sat next to us. "I didn't want to watch Sweeney anymore, what are you guys doing?" He asked.

"Sitting and discussing music." I shrugged and he nodded.

"So not flirting?" He asked and we all laughed.

"Depends on what you consider flirting." I laughed and they chuckled. "All he did was tell me he'd make me sleep on the floor, which isn't so romantic." I giggled.

Frank shoved Gerards shoulder with a sarcastic gasp. "Gee! Be nicer to our new comer!" He laughed.

Gerard just smiled. "Well, how about, instead of not being romantic, I be nice and ask if I can take you sightseeing tomorrow Tami?" He bit his lip with his eyebrow raised curiously. All I did was sit there with my mouth half open in shock. "I mean, i-if you want to...?" He sounded a bit more nervous and I closed my mouth.

"O-oh," I felt a small nervous butterfly in my stomach. "I...would love to." I smiled nervously and he chuckled and looked away and I felt my cheeks were hot. Why was I feeling this?

"You don't have to come if you don't want to." He nodded and the whole time, Frank was sitting there smiling at us.

I laughed trying to relax the mood of how nervous we were both feeling. "N-no, I want to, it was just a surprising request that's all." I smiled nodding and he bit his lip and giggled at that.

"Well good." He softened his tense expression and looked at me with soft caring hazel eyes. "Then tomorrow we head out, and I can show you around, maybe even introduce you to some of the zones?" I nodded excitedly at that.

Frank then laughed. "Oh you two. Grace is gonna be back soon and then we all are going to bed, it's getting really late anyway." He nodded.

I smiled and we all walked back out to the living room, finishing Sweeney Todd with the others. After the movie, I was feeling sleepy but the boys insisted I stay up with them till Grace got back. And just my luck, the sheet covering the doorway, was pushed to the side, and a small girl with big poofy hair walked in.

When she looked up at me she practically squealed "A girl!" she exclaimed and then sighed with relaxation. "Finally I'm not the only girl in this joint!" She laughed and hugged everyone as they welcomed her back. "Sorry if I'm a tad late, ran into some nasty ghouls on my way back."


They all nodded. "Tami, this is Grace, probably one of the smartest, strongest, and nicest 10 year olds in the Black Parade." Frank announced and she shook my hand.

"Tami? Well, it's a pleasure to meet you." She smiled and then yawned. "I'm beat, who's all ready for bed?" She asked and everyone ran down this hall and that, Me, Grace, Gerard, and Frank walked into our room and all got in bed.

As I laid there though, I could feel someone was watching me, I rolled over, and sure enough, across the small space between the two mattresses, was Gerard's smile glowing in the dark. "Good night." He whispered.

"Good night." I mumbled as I drifted off.
