Piper sticks her head through the door.

Henry: why'd you get burgers with pickles in them? I specifically told you that char and I don't like them

Henry: me too, sometimes I wish I can just turn back time and go back to the good old days.......appreciate them more........every moment......had I known then....what I know now......I wouldn't have spent all that time ignoring you.....and jasper..... school...I'd probably be leaving too.....

A heavy silences invites itself into the room

Charlotte: potato/potato.....anyways she kind of deserved it, she's so rude

Henry: ugh I know right?.....number 3 was.....he he he

Henry laughs at the thought. Smiling to himself as he remembers

Charlotte: what?

Henry: okay... Don't be mad but number 3 was when you were avoiding me just because you had a dream about me

Charlotte hits him playfully.

Charlotte: why?.... Let me guess, cause for once it was quiet in the mancave?....cause I wasn't there to "politely suggest" things?

Henry: you weren't there to nag us you mean?

Charlotte: hey!!!

Henry: hehehe no....I....ah...actually thought you were kind of adorable.....all flustered.......and nervous.....mixing up your words......and running away from me every chance you got, I had never seen you act like that before.....it was......kind of um........cute.

He smirks at her. A little warm feeling settles at the pit of his stomach as he remembers his best friend's reaction to her dream. It turns his smirk into a smile.

Charlotte: psssh whatever!!!! It was just a dream!!!

Henry: wait did we ever talk about it?

Charlotte: do you want to talk about it?

They both blush

Both: NOPE!!!!

Charlotte: okay moving on!!

Henry: yes please!!!!

Charlotte: Number two!!! Was when you relived one of the worst day in your life so that I could get into L.I.M.P and you didn't even tell me about it or take credit for it

Henry: and now I'm taking credit for that and for not taking credit....that's double credit SON!!!
