Meeting of Two Lovers Willow

He was waiting ... and a smirk was on his face. He knew he was going to go through with this. All he needed to do now was wait. And that wasn't so hard. He had sent her a owl, with the word "Tigger" in it, so he knew she would be there any moment now.

Peyton skipped down to the ground with her eyebrows scrunched together. In the Owl she got whoever sent it had mentioned Tigger so she had to get to the bottom of whatever happened. Getting to the Whomping Willow she noticed some younger boy standing there. "Um.. You Owled?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I did," he smirked. Antonio looked towards her, well he now he could see why Arthur was crazy over her.

"Well its about Arthur," he started, "You see he likes you, but by the time he gets the guts to ask you out, you're going to be married with two kids..."

WHAT? Did he just say that? Sheesh Antonio..

"So... I was wondering if you would like to go out with him?"

Peyton stared in disbelief at the kid before her. What the fuck was he talking about? Tigger... fancy...her? Even the thought was absurd!

"What the fuck are you going on about? Tigger liking me is the most ridiculous thing I've heard... ever. He is my best friend. End of story."

Then as if she almost wanted to believe it, a thought occured to her and made her angry.

"If Tigger fancies me, why can't he tell me himself?"

Alright, it seemed he had made a mistake. Willet liked her, that he was sure of, but perhaps the girl didn't like him in that way.

"Suppose then there is no use of us here, I'm sorry about the owl," said Antonio, turning to leave when the girl asked him a question.

"I know Willet, he fancies you, but will never have the guts to tell you, and so as a best friend, I thought I would do the honours," he started, "But it seems like you don't feel the same way for him... so yeah".

Wait... This boy was misunderstanding her completely. Of course she fancied Tigger. Why wouldn't she? It was more of the fact that he was her best friend and that would be weird if they started to go out, plus the age difference was a bit of a drawback.

"Oh... What would give you that idea? He's my best friend. So what if I fancy him? He would never do the same toward me and it's the fact that it'd be extremely awkward and tarnish our friendship. Not sure if I want that, to be honest." she said with a shrug and started to play with her hands nervously.

She really had no reason why she was nervous, but she was. It probably had something to do with the fact she just admitted to liking Tigger, but she was trying to forget even doing that.

Antonio was being a real douche about this. Wait, was that the right word?

How could he ever owl Arthur telling him he was about to hit on his own best friend?

"You, me, the lake, now," he said through gritted teeth, finding solace that Antonio hadn't shouldered and cozied himself up to her. "Peyton. Stay here. Or go to the castle."

With a face like thunder only ever specially saved for moments like this when Tony took a toe out of line, he grabbed the ruff of his collar and marched him away from the willow.

(Ooc: I know Tony loves me GM'ing.)
