Aricka woke up early on Saturday. Jack's taking me to the park today, she thought, a giddy feeling coursing through her. "Roma!" she calls. Her Fanciful/Romantic side appears. "What should I wear today?"

"Wear something that shows Jack just what a princess you are!" Roma replies, spinning as she wanders over to Aricka's closet. "Like this!"

"Okay," Aricka agrees and goes to the bathroom to change. "Roma! Bring me my makeup please!"

*3rd Person*

Thomas heard Aricka talking to Roma while she got ready. None of them were used to her Sides yet-except for Roman. He especially liked talking to Aricka's Creativity, which made Virgil very jealous.

Aricka walks downstairs, the dress she wore making her look even more beautiful than normal. "Hey Thomas," she says and hugs him. She'd grown since her adoption day-now she was able to look him in the eye without tilting her head up. "I'm going to be at the park until noon, okay?"

"Sounds good," he says, and she walks out.

*back with Aricka*

Aricka walks down the street to the park, and Jack was sitting on one of the swings. He looks up as she gets nearer, and his face turns red. "You look-angelic," he comments. She blushes and smiles.

"Thank you." He takes her hand, and they walk around for a while. "So what's this surprise you have for me?" Jack smiles, and they walk to "their" gazebo.

"Go up and look," he says. She does, and sees this:

"Jack!" she exclaims, hugging the bear. "I'm naming him-JackABear!" she walks back down and kisses him. "Thank you."

"Anything for you, Angel." then, "Get To Know You," starts playing. "May I have this dance?"

Aricka sets the bear back down and willingly goes to him, and they start to sway. "This is the song you sang to me when you asked me out the first time."

"I know-I'd ran home, memorized it, and ran back to your place. I'd do anything for you, Aricka, and I mean that."

"Oh, Sean...I love you," I whisper.

"I love you, too."
