Georgia closes her locker, shouldering her backpack. They were off for the week! She turns and is surprised to see Flash standing there.

"Oh, Flash. Didn't see you there. What's up?" Georgia smiles.

"I have something I want to show you." Flash admits, pulling her after him. They exit the school and head toward Central Park. Once there, Flash leads Georgia through the trees. They approach a fallen log. Pulling Georgia closer, Flash raises his finger to his lips. Carefully, he pushes the log over. Underneath was a golden retriever puppy. It barks in excitement upon seeing the two teens.

"Oh my gosh, she's so cute!" Georgia exclaims, kneeling. The puppy struggles out of the brush and hops over to her.

"I found her yesterday. No collar, no one looking for her. I think she's either a stray, or an unwanted gift." Flash says.

"Why would someone just throw a cute puppy away? That's just sad." Georgia states, picking the puppy up. She licks Georgia's face affectionately. Georgia laughs.

"Georgia, she wasn't the only reason I brought you out here. I...I have something to tell you. I like you, Georgia Barton." Flash admits. Georgia sets the puppy down and walks closer to Flash.

"Flash Thompson, you're such a charmer. I like you too."

"I just don't understand why he chose Acelia. I mean, she's a cool girl and she's the Shifter, but I've known him since we were little." Alyssa says. Ned looks over at his friend.

"Alyssa, Peter chose Ace because he listened to his heart. It wasn't pulling him toward you, which means he's not for you. I know someone who might be, though." Ned says.

"Really? Who?" Alyssa asks.

"I was thinking...I might be." Ned admits. Alyssa gasps. "I've liked you for a while now. Every time I'm around you, it feels like it's just us and the world."

"Oh, Ned..." Alyssa says, finally realizing. "It was you. It was always you."
