Austin: What's it to you, Chance? You've got no life.

Chance: No! I beg to differ. I've got a girlfriend, thank you very much.

Austin: (smirks) Oh yea? What's her name? 

Chance: Ah-- uh- Raina. 

Austin: You snake. You can never get with her. (laughs)

Chance: I know... 

Bane: Hey, let the kid dream would you?

Austin: Fat chance, Bane. I'm afraid you'd have to make me. (winks)

Bane: We have way too many flirty girls at this place. 

Austin: Oh yea? Name three. 

Bane: Well, you for one. You... and uh, hm? Oh wait a mintue, I know another one. YOU!

Austin: (grabs him and ruffles his hair) Oooohh! I just love the way you guys try so hard to get rid of me.

Bane: Hey! (pushes her away) I'm sixteen! Not eight. And I'm not your son, or your younger brother.

Austin: Whoops. I mistook you as an adorable five year-old. (smirks) My fault.

Halika: (sits down on the bed, waiting, notices a photo on the bed, and picks it up, looking at it)

Dez: (comes out of the bathroom with only jeans, rubbing his hair with a towel) 

Halika: (hurriedly stuffs the photo in her pocket) Oh-- (fully notices him) H-hey.

Dez: Hi.

Halika: Ah..- uhm. E-everyone's in the arcade. We have about an hour left. So... 

Dez: No one else waited?   

Halika: Nope. Just me. (slightly smiles) 

Dez: Sweet. -goes over to her tossing the towel on the bed-

Halika: (turns red) Dez, I don't think-- (leans back, turning away) 

Dez: ( eh subtly brings his face closer to hers)

Halika: We can't.

Dez: (sigh, pulls away) I know we can't. 

Halika: I-I'll wait in the hall. (leaves)

Dez: Good idea. (turns away and pulls on a shirt that he grabbed from the drawers)

Halika: (waits in the hallway)

(A few minutes pass)

Dez: (goes out into the hallway)

Halika: (smiles and puffs air out of her nose and turns and starts walking)

(they both arrive at the arcade)

Red: (notices them walk in) What took you guys so long?

Halika: (gets flustered) We hit a- uh, bump in the road.

Chassity: Yeah right.

Halika: (goes and sits down next to Red) 

Dez: (watches her sit down, puts his hands in his pockets, then goes over to Chance, Pan and Clyde)

Chance: Dez has a crush!

Austin: (laughs quietly)

Clyde: Shut up, Chance. (nudges him, looks at Dez) What happened?

Dez: Just your... everyday hiccup. (scratches the back of his neck) Not something to worry about. -smiles-

Clyde: (leans an arm on Dez's shoulder) If you say so.
