Kristin was sitting on the couch while Nick was going through his collection of movies.

"Do you like scary movies?" Nick asked.

"Yeah," Kristin said softly.

"Okay, cool. Have you seen Scream?" Kristin shook her head. "Okay we'll watch that then." He popped the video in the VCR. "Come on let's go make some popcorn before we watch the movie." Kristin shyly took his hand and they walked into the kitchen. Nick opened up a cabinet and handed Kristin the package of popcorn. "Can you put this in the microwave for me?"

"Sure," Kristin said as she took the package and put it in the microwave.

Nick opened the refrigerator. "Do you want Sprite or Pepsi?" he asked.

"Sprite," Kristin said as she opened the microwave. "You wanna put this in a bowl?"

Nick got out two Sprites and then went to a cabinet and got out a big plastic bowl. "Here put the popcorn in this." Kristin put the popcorn in the bowl. "Let's go watch the movie," Nick said as he walked back to the living room.

They made themselves comfortable on the couch and watched the movie. Sometime in the middle of the movie Kristin and Nick found themselves holding hands in the popcorn bowl. Kristin was the first to notice and shyly pulled her hand away. Nick blushed and quickly looked away.

"Boo!"

Kristin screamed and grabbed onto Nick.

"What the heck?" Nick exclaimed.

They could hear giggles coming from behind the couch. Out popped Nick's younger siblings Angel and Aaron. They giggled hysterically. Kristin sighed of relief and let go of Nick.

"Did we scare ya?" Aaron asked.

"What are you two doing out of bed?" Nick asked.

Just then, Nick's mom, Jane, came downstairs. "What is going on down here? I heard a scream."

Nick pointed to Angel and Aaron. "The Rugrats are awake. Need we say more?"

Jane looked over at Aaron and Angel then laughed. "Come on you two. Back to bed."

"Aww man," Aaron whined. "I don't wanna."

"But you're gonna. Now get upstairs."

Aaron and Angel grumbled and went upstairs. Nick looked over at Kristin and smiled.

"Now, let's watch the rest of the movie."

Kristin smiled and made herself comfortable on the couch. Nick nervously looked at Kristin from the corner of his eye. Go ahead Carter go for it! Put your arm around her. You know you want to, Nick thought to himself. He moved his hand closer to her and noticed Kristin crossing her legs. Ugh just do it! Nick slowly raised his arm and carefully placed it around Kristin's shoulders. She smiled and cuddled closer to him. Score! Nick thought with a grin and continued watching the movie.

"What did you think of the movie?" Nick asked, when the movie was over.

Kristin smiled. "I really liked it."

"So what do you want to do now?"

"I don't know. What do you wanna do?"

Nick thought a minute then smiled. "Lets play Mario Kart."

Kristin laughed. "How did I know that you were gonna say that?"

"So you wanna play it?"

"I don't know. It depends."

"Depends on what?"

"On you." Kristin said coyly.

"What about me?" Nick said as he got closer to her.

"If you can handle being beat by a girl."

"You think you can beat me?"

"Sure, and I'm gonna kick your butt."

"Oh is that so?" Nick said with a grin.

"Yeah," Kristin grinned back.

"So what if I lose?"

"Then I get the reward."

"And if I win?"

Kristin gave Nick a seductive smile. "Then you get the reward. It's a win win situation. Either way we're both gonna be happy."

"What's the reward?" Nick whispered.

Kristin smirked. "You'll see."

Nick laughed and sat down on the floor. He handed Kristin her controller. "Let's play."

Kristin giggled and sat down next to Nick. The two of them sat on the floor battling each other to a game of Mario Kart, but they both knew it was more than just a game.
