"Thanks, you're not bad yourself," Jude replied. "Anyway, just be glad your family was nice and everything. My family... well, like I said, they were snobs. I had a lot of fights with them, and eventually, they pretty much disowned me. It was lucky that I'd saved a lot of the money they gave me over the years, or I'd be completely broke." He nodded over toward Karl and Chloe. "Looks like your friends decided to dance, after all. They make a pretty good couple."

"You're welcome, Chloe," he said, as the girls had taught him to. He reached over and touched her cheek lightly with his finger. "Your skin is so soft..." he said, smiling.

Chloe smiled. "Um, thanks," she said with a shy smile. Chloe turned a slight shade of pink. She leaned up and kissed his cheek. "You're really sweet, you know that?"

Karl blushed. "Thanks," he said. "Can I kiss you now?"

Chloe smiled. "Yes. And you don't have to ask me anymore, you can just do it whenever you want," said Chloe still smiling.

Karl smiled. "OK, I will then," he said. He leaned in closer to her and put one hand on her cheek as he pressed his lips to hers slowly in a soft, gentle kiss.

Chloe kissed Karl back, just as gentle. She finally pulled away and smiled up at him. "I'll never tire of that," she said with a smile and gave him another quick soft kiss.

Karl smiled. "Good, cause I don't think I'll ever get tired of doing it, either." He wrapped his arms around her and held her closer, swaying softly to the music. He still couldn't believe that someone as pretty as Chloe felt the same way about him that he felt about her. Was this what Skye called love? If so, he decided he liked it. He felt like he was floating.

Chloe gave a small laugh and put her head against Karl's chest. At that moment, she didn't want to move from where she was, ever. After what seemed like forever, Chloe looked up and grinned again at Karl. She couldn't help it, he made her smile. "How do you do that," she asked him curiously.

Karl grinned down at her, his heart feeling warm inside. "How do I do what?" he asked softly, running a hand through her silky blonde hair.

"Make me smile and laugh all the time, make me feel completely different like I'm warm all the time," said Chloe.

Karl blushed. "Shucks," he said. "I don't know. Maybe the same way you make me feel more like a prince than a shaggy stray wolf--like I always thought I was. I feel like I wanna protect you and always make you smile. I feel all warm inside when you smile at me."

Chloe couldn't help but smile again. "You're not a stray wolf anymore. Sure, still shaggy, but not a stray," she said with a smile. "But I like you shaggy." Chloe rested her head on Karl's chest again and listened to him breath.

Karl sighed softly and rubbed the back of her head. "Thanks, Chloe," he said. He kissed the top of her head and danced slowly to the music. "I'm really glad I came here tonight."

"Me too," said Chloe. "I felt bad that I avoided you. Plus too, I don't think if you didn't come, that I wouldn't have ever told you."

"It's OK," Karl said. "I know at first it was a little scary and confusing... I really didn't know what I was doing. But well... I think it woulda happened sooner or later. I think maybe we were supposed to be together."

Becky smiled as she looked over at Chloe and Karl. "Yeah, they do make a good couple," she said. "I'm just glad they've stopped denying it. Chloe's a great person, she deserves to be happy. I almost want to go over there and congratulate them, but I'd hate to disturb them. They don't even seem to notice that the song has changed to a fast song..."

"I didn't know what I was doing either," said Chloe. "But I agree," she said smiling again. She saw someone coming close to them, only then realizing that the music had changed, and grabbed Karl by the hand and pulled him away from the people moving. "I don't think we want to get ran over by anyone," she said with a laugh. "But I'm glad I met you. I thought that I was going to be alone for the rest of my life, to be honest. I never really cared for a relationship, well, until I met you, I suppose."

Karl laughed as she dragged him off the dance floor. "Heh, yeah, I didn't even notice that the music changed." He smiled at her. "I thought I'd be alone forever, too. I was OK with it, cause I had my sisters... but when I saw you... I never felt like that before. It was like I was seeing the sun for the first time."

Chloe smiled. "I'm glad then," she said. Chloe took his hand again, and just held it. "So, how about Becky is doing pretty good herself," said Chloe glancing over at Becky and Jude.
