You need a Giver

Chapter 7

Newt was in his case feeding the Occamy's when Tina appeared

"Newt?" she spoke in a soft voice not wanting to surprise or disturb him while he fed the Occamy's. Newt turned his head around and smiled when he saw Tina's head poking out from the tree.

"Hello Tina, everything go well with your sister then?" He said picking up the sack of Occamy food and walking over to her. Tina smiled, "Yes, we came home just a few minutes ago." She said, "We're hatching up a plan to get Jacob's memory back when he comes for dinner later."

Newt grinned, "It's going to be great having him back," Newt smiled dreamily looking off into the sky remembering all the good memories they shared together. Tina smiled fondly at him as he remembered, after all, it wasn't everyday Newt found a friend that enjoyed his company.

Suddenly Tina felt something wrap around her legs and pull her closer to Newt, it was the Occamy's, they were slowly wrapping Tina and Newt's legs bringing them closer until their faces were inches apart.

Newt's animals gathered around them, Dougal walked up to Newt, pointed at Tina then back at Newt.

Newt blushed a deep shade of red, Tina who also got a clue on what was happening was also blushing.

"Um," Newt stuttered, "I can assure you this is not my doing," he said awkwardly, Tina laughed nervously, "guess they really do have a mind of their own," Newt smiled shyly.

They looked each other, Newt brushed his hand against her hair just like like he did back at the docks. Tina's awkward smile shone through her face, "you really are beautiful when you smile," he whispered staring at her as she blushed.

The next thing you know, their lips met and they were kissing.

As they pulled away from each other all of Newt's creatures started to cheer, Dougal clapped with a knowing smile on his face, Pickett and the other Bowtruckles started whistling, The Erumpet and the Graphorns started honking and stomping madly, and the Niffler started scurrying around Newt and Tina in circles. They laughed, still in each other's arms. As they leant in again for another kiss,

"TEENIE!" Queenie called bursting through the shed, "Jacob's gonna be here any second, get Newt up here, we need to go over the plan with-" She stopped looking Newt and Tina who were right in the middle of a deep kiss.

"TEENIE!!" She squealed, "YOU KISSED HIM! YOU TWO KISSED!" Tina and Newt quickly parted with shocked and embarrassed faces.

"Queenie! You don't just go barging into someone's suitcase without permission!" Tina's face was almost as red as Newt's.

"Oh Teenie!" Queenie gushed "I'm so happy for you!" She laughed then literally jumped on the two of them and tackled them to the ground.

"Queenie!" Tina said laughing,

"Queenie please," Newt said laughing as well, "this is really uncivilized,"

"Oh hush you," Queenie said giggling helping them up.

"C'mon guys," Tina said dusting off her pants, "like you said before Queenie we gotta go over the plan with Newt."

Queenie rolled her eyes, "How can you think about that when you and Newt just KISSED! LIKE, THIS IS BIG!" She gestured to Newt who was smiling and blushing madly.

Tina also blushed but continued to walk up to the shed. Queenie winked at Newt and followed her sister out of the case.

Dougal walked up to Newt and held his hand, "you arranged this didn't you Dougal?" he said softly looking down at the Demiguise, Dougal made a face that was supposed to look innocent but instead it looked like he had just sucked on a lemon. Newt laughed, "you little bugger," he said rubbing his head affectionately, Dougal purred.

"Newt, you coming?" Tina asked poking her head from above. Newt looked up to see a smiling blushing Tina and smiled, "i'll be right up," he said the blush fading from his cheeks. Tina smiled and her head disappeared.

Newt climbed up the stairs and followed Tina into the kitchen where Queenie was pouring them cups of coffee, and for Newt, tea, and setting them on the table where a giant map of the apartment was along with little sticky notes covering the table top.

"Woah.." Newt said staring at the giant map, "Yeah, Teenie takes her investigating very seriously," Queenie giggled while Tina blushed. "Well, this IS very serious, we can't afford to mess this up." Tina said sitting down at the table and taking a sip from her coffee, Queenie and Newt sat down as well.

"Okay," Tina said all business like, "We know that Jacob"s memories seem to reach out to us the strongest when he see's one of us, or when something happens just like it did back when he remembered," Newt and Queenie nodded, "so all we gotta do is drop subtle hints around the house that could help him jog his memory." Tina said pulling out a clipboard and walking around the house with Newt and Queenie trailing behind exchanging amused glances at Tina's antics.

"Alright, Queenie!" Tina said writing notes on her clipboard, "Do you have the Strudel ready for tonight's dinner?" Queenie grinned, "yup, i made it exactly the same, with all the roses and sugared powdered and everything." Queenie beamed, "Alright then," Tina said checking that off her list.

"Newt," she said turning to him, "I need you to post these all over the walls," Tina told him handing Newt stacks of copies of the pages from his book with the drawings of his creatures on them, "and bring Pickett as well, he might feel left out if we don't involve him in the plan." Tina said jotting down some additional notes on her clipboard and walking around to turn on the radio.

Newt smiled at her then began to hang up the copies.

Suddenly the doorbell rang, "TEENIE!" Queenie yelled excitedly, "He's here!" She took off her apron and rushed to the door where Tina and Newt were gathered around.

"Now remember guys," Tina said, "we only have one shot at this, let's make it count." Queenie and Newt nodded determinedly as Tina slowly opened the door.
