"What do you want?" She yelled back
"Can we just talk?"
"What's there to talk about?"
"Come on Ashley, don't be like this"
"You should be dating Mary-Kate you know? At least she never hung up on you" Ashley said sarcastically, not making any sense.
David finally caught up with her and grabbed her arm. "Ashley! Don't be stupid"
"Oh, I'm stupid now am I?!" She yelled at him.
"Well, you're sure acting that way!" He shouted back losing his temper.
She looked at him calmly "Did you kiss her?"
"What!?!"
"Did you kiss her when she was pretending to be me"
He thought for a minute "Yes" he said simply "But, that's just it! I thought she was you!"
"That was supposed to be our first kiss" Ashley said starting to cry.
"Ashley we had our first kiss" he said pulling her close and hugging her.
"To me it was our first kiss, to you our second"
"Ashley you're really confusing" he said trying not to smile.
"It's just not the same" she sobbed into his shoulder.
David rolled his eyes 'Girls' he thought.
"Please talk to Mary-Kate. She's really upset about this"
She sniffed and looked at the ground "Ok" She finally said.

"I'm so glad you're talking to me" Mary-Kate said to Ashley later that night as they got ready for bed.
"I'm sorry. I really overreacted"
"Are things ok with you an David?"
"Yes, thanks to you. We're even gonna enter next months competition"
"That's great!"
"I know! I can't wait! And I have no intention of falling this time"
