Who would've thought that Fred Andrew's 43rd birthday bash would be the thing to bring them all together again? That's exactly what did it.

Alice feels something hit the back of her head and she whips around to see what it was. She sees Fred smiling at her from the back of the class and she unfolds the paper ball he chucked at her.

She rolls her eyes and looks back at him, mouthing "yes".
"Andrews, Smith, quit your talking unless you would like to go down to the principal's office." The teacher warns them.
"Sorry sir." Fred apologizes. Alice just rolls her eyes again and slumps down in her seat.

"Should we carpool to the party?" Fred asks FP and Alice. "I'm already picking up Hermione I could grab you two as well."
"Yeah sure, if you want to." FP answers.
"Wait, shouldn't we drive alone?" Alice questions, raising an eyebrow at FP so he gets the hint.
"Why?"
She rolls her eyes and leans up on her tip-toes to whisper in his ear. His cheeks flush and he swallows hard. "Yeah, maybe we'll drive ourselves."
Hermione rolls her eyes. "Well then you horndogs better not get hammered, I'm not letting either of you drive drunk." She warns.
"Mary and Hal are the perfect designated drivers, they can drive us home if need be."
"Good point." Alice grins. "Speaking of them."
Hal and Mary come up to the group. "What are we talking about?" Mary questions.
"Marty Mantle's party, you guys coming?"
"I have a family dinner to go to," Mary sighs. "or I'd be there."
"Well, uh, I'm free so I guess I'll go." Hal says and Alice smiles at him, watching as his cheeks blush.
"Cool, you want to ride with us? We can pick you up on the way." FP offers.
"Yeah, sure, as long as it's not too much trouble."
"Not at all, we'll pick you up around 9ish, that cool?"
"That's fine." Hal agrees, his eyes drifting onto Alice who's cheeks are blushing furiously.
Maybe it's just hot in the school, he thinks, or maybe she's blushing because of him.
