"BSL? YOU DO KNOW THAT SAM SIGNS IN ASL, RIGHT?" Charlotte grinned at Grizz as he plopped down onto the bed beside her. She was sitting criss cross on his bed with a donut in her hand.

When Grizz questioned about the random donut — while he politely declined when she offered one — she told him that her and Clark took a few to eat from the shop.

Grizz let out a soft groan, "Yes, I found out after I made a fool out of myself."

Charlotte snickered, her cheeks stuffed with the boston cream donut, "Why didn't you just ask me?"

Grizz stayed quiet for a moment, staring at the ceiling. "I didn't want to burden you. I already feel guilty of the fact I'm the reason we split and how I'm already going after another person—"

"Oh shut up, Grizz," Charlotte instantly interrupted, "Our split is not your fault, or anyone's to be exact. We both agreed that we fell out of love and agreed on breaking the relationship, together."

Grizz looked over at Charlotte to see her smirking at him.

"We agreed on staying friends and not letting any conflict come between us," Charlotte reminded. "I'm not hurt, if that's what you're concerned about, and I fully support you. I'm just happy we're friends and that's all that matters to me."

Grizz jokingly frowned, "You got over me fast,"

Charlotte laughed, "There was no getting over anything," Charlotte gave Grizz a soft smile, "You're still in my life Grizz, so I didn't lose anything."

Grizz's eyes softened and he reached over and placed his hand on top of Charlotte's free hand that rested on her knee. "Chareth?"

Charlotte threw her head back with a laugh, finding the old 'ship name' funny.

"Of course — Chareth."

"He proposed to her in the church?" Kyla asked, a smile crawling onto her face as Charlotte nodded.

"Yep, he got her an expensive ring to propose to her with and then he gave her the actual ring which was a ring he could've afforded back home."

"That's cute," Miles smiled as the five made their way to the church. The Guard was in charge of cooking the turkey and Charlotte instantly rushed to the church, knowing that the boys wouldn't be successful in making the turkey.

"Proposing at a church, sounds like Helena's dream proposal." Valerie chuckled just as she caught sight of Clark and Shoe holding a long stick with a turkey attached to it at the end.

"You think she's so religious because she has a demon of a cousin?" Xavier joked, making Charlotte give him a side glance to which he raised his hands in surrender.

"Sounds about right," Kyla laughed.

"She prays everyday so she can purify Char's soul — what are they doing?" Xavier blurted out half way, his eyebrow raising. Kyla looked over and her eyes widened when she realized what was about to happen.

"Don't!" She yelled to the two boys but they already placed the turkey into the pot of boiling water. Fire erupted from the pot and Clark and Shoe jumped back with excited grins on their faces.

Kyla shook her head and walked over to the two, starting to scold them for placing a frozen turkey into a pot of boiling water. Miles and Xavier quickly worked together to take out the turkey while Valerie quickly went to give the boys a high five — which resulted in Kyla scolding her as well, saying to not encourage them.
