Zacharias couldn't help but to grin wider when Aerion blushed. He looked at Kennedy again who was trying not to laugh. She led the way into The Greenhouse and their usual waitress was there to seat them. Zacharias looked around the diner a bit caught off guard by its appearance. Sure it was called The Greenhouse but he honestly hadn't expected it to be so...green. Everything in the diner was green; the plates, silverware, and even the glass in the windows. The only things that weren't green were some of the foods, and the people in the diner.

The greens varied from vibrant lime greens to darker greens that reminded him of the forest at night. He thought it was very cool now that he was over the initial shock.

Aerion was shocked, but by the looks of Zacharias' face he wasn't the only one. Ivy walked passed Aerion who was gawking at the ceiling that was covered in vines. Aerion looked at Ivy as she passed by and saw her give him a smirk.

Her smirk was like a siren that called Aerion to follow her to be engulfed in the green of The Greenhouse. Ivy slid herself next to the ivy that clang to the walls of the booth seat.

Aerion immediately sits in the same booth as Ivy before Kennedy could get there, making the meal a little more enjoyable for both himself and Zacharias that obviously enjoyed Kennedy's presences.

Kennedy wasn't too disappointed herself about sitting beside Zacharias and she looked over and smiled at him before she looked quickly at her menu to keep from staring at him.

He was looking at the menu as well and he had little to no idea at all what most of the items on the menu were. Kennedy looked over and noticed that he looked undecided. "I recommend the Fettuccine Alfredo, or the Steak, and course you have to get a side order of fries with whatever it is that you order!"

Ivy giggled and looked at Aerion, who was just as confused as Zacharias' seemed to be; "Well, I also would recommend the same. You could always try one of my favorites the club sandwich with bacon on it."

Aerion smiled and acted like he understood what kind of food she was talking about. The waitress came over to the table and shamelessly began to flirt with the two boys hoping that they would return the act.

Ivy slightly upset with this, took the menu from Aerion's hand. Trying to look like a girlfriend or something more than a friend; pointing to Aerion, she said, "He will have Bacon Cheeseburger and I will have the Turkey Club. What about you two?" Ivy looked at Kennedy and Zacharias.

"I'll have the same thing that he's having." Zacharias said and Kennedy was still absorbed in the menu. Finally she decided on a grilled chicken sandwhich and a double order of fries. This earned her a glare from the waitress who obviously had to follow a strict diet to keep in shape.

Kennedy glanced around the diner and suddenly she slouched down in her seat. "Oh man! Did he see me? I really don't want to talk to him." A guy had just entered the diner who had short blonde hair and icy blue eyes and he glanced in Ivy and Kennedy's direction.

He was a student at the all boys school that was located about fifteen minutes from Peachem. His name was Jameson and he was one of Kennedy's ex boyfriends. He hadn't moved on from her and was still trying to get her back.

Aerion looked at Kennedy, "Who?" Ivy was shocked, "No way, is he really here? Do you think he followed us here or just came here knowing that there is a high possibility you would be here?"

Ivy was tempted to turn around to see if it was Jameson, seeing as her back was faced to the door. Ivy looked over at Kennedy, "I would tell you to sneak over to the bathroom, but that won't work out to well. So if he comes over here maybe Zacharias will be willing to act like there is something between you..." Ivy stopped in mid-sentence as she was hinted by a hanging light that reflected Jameson heading toward their table.

"Hello Kennedy, how have you been?" Jameson was now standing at their table a slight smirk on his face as he regarded Kennedy who was still slouching down in her seat.

"Oh I've been just fine thanks." Her tone was icy and Kennedy had hoped he would have gotten the hint the last time that they spoke but he apparently had not.

Zacharias looked at Jameson and then at Kennedy and he wrapped his arm around her pulling her closer to him. Jameson's smirk faded and he glared slightly at Zacharais who looked at him coldly.

"In case you hadan't noticed we're in the middle of something. You're not welcome here." Zacharias said. Jameson turned and walked away sitting at a table on the opposite side of the diner and he was clearly sulking.

Ivy laughed, "Oh my, you were amazing Zacharias! You handled it like a pro!" Ivy looked at Zacharias, who held Kennedy close, "So, you boys should tell us more about yourselves. You do seem like people of whom I would be highly interested in getting to know and I will probably benefit from it too."

"Thank you very much for doing that." Kennedy smiled at Zacharias who felt rewarded by her smile alone. She didn't try to move away from him and in fact she leaned closer and he kept his arm securely around her.

He looked over at Aerion who he noticed was inching closer to Ivy and he grinned slightly wondering if Aerion would be bold enough to wrap his arm around Ivy as well.

Aerion inspired by Zacharias' move inched closer to Ivy but he wasn't as bold enough to put his arm around her just yet.

Ivy smiled as he inched closer and grabbed his arm, "Oh come on just get over here, and stop inching over with the speed of a snail." Ivy did think Aerion was very cute, but she might have found it a little bit awkward if Aerion had placed his arm around her. She was never the type to move too fast and she just met the guy.

It wasn't long after when the waitress brought them back their food. She once again eyed Zacharias and Aerion but she didn't try to get them to flirt with her this time and simply set their food down and walked away.

Kennedy immediately dug into her fries as she always ate her fries before the rest of her meal. She did so because she didn't like for them to get cold. Zacharias picked up the bacon cheeseburger and inspected it before he began to eat it.

Ivy smiled as she picked up her club sandwich and began to munch on it. Aerion took Zacharias' still being alive a good sign that he could he his own burger and took a bite.

Kennedy finished eating first and she sat there sipping her soda. She noticed that Jameson was still there and he was staring at her and she sighed. "I can't stand it when he does that."

"Well, Kennedy what do you expect! You are impposible to forget. Don't you believe so, Zacharias?" Ivy smiled.

Aerion's hair fell in front of his face; Ivy couldn't help but allow her instincts to take over, Ivy swept his hair back out of his eyes.

Aerion looked deeply into Ivy's eyes; Ivy stammered and turned her eyes off Aerion, "Uhm. Are we all done eating?"

"I know I'll never forget you Kennedy. Though it is irritating having him staring at you like that." Zacharias sent an annoyed look in Jameson's direction.

"I wish he would just get a life. Ivy has the same problem though, there's a guy who can't move on from her so she's just as unforgettable as I am!" Kennedy smiled at her.

Ivy nodded, "Yeah, I do have a similar guy to Jameson. He won't quit bugging me." Ivy stood up to get out of the booth, Aerion moved out of her way.

Ivy went up to the register with the check and paid for the meal. Ivy went back to the table and watched Aerion scoot in so she could sit down.

"Some guys just never get the hint hmmmm?" Kennedy said and then she took another long drink of her soda. She finished it up and then leaned back against the booth.

Zacharias wrapped his arm around her again, since she hadn't minded before he assumed it was safe to do so again. She blushed ever so slightly but she didn't try to push his arm away or anything and instead smiled at him.

Ivy looked over at Aerion, she didn't understand but every time she looked at him she wanted to smile. He seemed to have a spell on her at times. Ivy looked at Kennedy and realized that she shouldn't allow herself not to get to know the guy because of fear.

Ivy slid her hand into Aerion's hand and slid a bit closer to him. Aerion looked at her and smiled, "Don't worry I won't bite." Aerion tightened his hand around hers, in order to confirm that Ivy was really with him.

"So would the two of you like a nice tour of the area? We would be more than happy to show you around!" Kennedy looked at Zacharias who wasmore than happy to spend even more time with her.

"I would enjoy a tour, especially one given by such a beautiful girl." He smiled as Kennedy blushed deeply. He thought it added to her charm when she blushed.

As Ivy went to get up, Aerion was still grasping her hand; Ivy lost her footing and fell into Aerion's lap. "Oh, I am sorry Aerion. However, you holding my hand won't help me if you remain seated."

Aerion smiled and couldn't help but hug the blushing Ivy. "You know you and your friend are cute when you blush. I think Zacharias wanted to say that all day to Kennedy, all day since we met at least."

"Yes I have wanted to tell her that all day," he grinned as Kennedy blushed even more and he reached up and ran his fingers through her hair gently. "You have very pretty eyes."

Kennedy was speechless at first but then she smiled and kissed his cheek. "Thank you, you're very sweet."

Ivy found herself jealous as she sometimes did of Kennedy, sometimes it is just cute the things that happen to her. As she watched Kennedy, she realized that she was still sitting on Aerion. "Oh!" Ivy jumped off of Aerion.

Aerion stood up smiling and took Ivy's hand, escorting her out the door of The Greenhouse. Ivy smiled as she let him walk her out.

Kennedy and Zacharias followed them out and Zacharias made certain to take her hand in his possessively as they walked past Jameson who glared at Zacharias. Once they were outside Kennedy looked at Ivy. "What should we show them first?"

Ivy grinned as she thought of the perfect place for the four of them to go, "Well, seeing that we have all eaten and are full. I believe we should go do something to burn all that food. I think we should go to the carnival that is in town for this week!"

"Oh! I had totally forgotten about that! That is a great idea and I think we definitely should go!" Kennedy smiled and looked up at Zacharias.

Once he saw how excited Kennedy was there was no way Zacharias would say no and he nodded. He was interested in seeing the carnival anyway.
