slap.
    “You’ve
really gotta stop doing that,” he said, moving his fingers in a tickling motion
and inching toward her.
    “Or
what?” Belle asked, grinning.
    “Or
I might just have to kiss you again.”
    “Well
Dave,” she said, tossing her long, golden hair over her shoulder.  “That’s a
risk I’m willing to take.”  Dave smiled and grabbed her hand, turning her
around to face him.  “But,” she said, holding her hand in front of his chest,
“We do need to pick out a movie or my cousins are going to wonder what happened
to us.”  Belle tossed her hair again and winked at Dave over her shoulder
before returning to the redbox and looking through the movies.  Dave joined her
side but was far too distracted by the way her hair smelled to pay any
attention to the selection in front of them.
    “My
Sister’s Peeker?!” Belle read and laughed out loud.
    “What?”
Dave asked, finally focusing on the movie titles.
    She
looked at the words more closely.  “Oh!  It’s My Sister’s Keeper .”  She
smiled at Dave, then quickly tapped the ‘next’ button and casually scrolled
through the choices.
    “What,
are you dyslexic or something?” he teased.
    Belle
went very quiet and tried to look away from Dave’s joking face.
    “Oh
Belle…I’m so sorry!  I was just kidding!” he said, wishing he could kick
himself.
    Belle
looked as though she might cry, but she turned toward Dave and smiled.  “It’s
no big deal,” she said, trying to brush it off.
    “No,
seriously!  I am so sorry!” he continued.
    “Really,
let’s just drop it, k?”
    Dave
stood quietly, staring at the redbox.  Belle looked over at Dave and gave him a
little shove, knocking him back into focus.  “Geeze David, lighten up!” she
said.  He smiled back at her and they resumed their flirtatious behavior as
they finally made their DVD choice.  Then they began walking home again.
    “So,”
Dave spoke in almost a whisper.  “We picked out the movie.”  His voice seemed
to waiver just a little and Belle had to turn her head so he wouldn’t see her
smiling.  He seemed nervous now and she liked that.
    “So?”
Belle asked.
    “So,
I thought you wanted me to kiss you again,” he said, nudging her playfully.
    “Maybe
some other time,” she said casually.  Belle could tell she had shocked him at
first and then she made the mistake of looking into his eyes.  Belle smiled and
Dave could tell she was just playing with him.  She gently smacked him on the
shoulder.
    “Oops!”
she said, covering her mouth.  Dave laughed and kissed her again.
    “That’ll
teach you,” he said.  The two walked hand in hand toward their street.  As they
approached the corner Dave hastily dropped her hand.  Belle turned to look at
him.
    “Don’t
tell your cousins what happened,” he said, then adding, “Please.”  Belle looked
at him, puzzled.  She had been excited to share with her cousins the news of
her first kiss!  “I just…don’t want them to know…yet.  It would make things
weird I think,” he finished.
    “Okay,”
Belle reluctantly promised.  Then she pushed open the door announcing, “We’re
here!  It’s Dave’s fault we took so long!”  She glanced over her shoulder and
grinned at him.  Dave rolled his eyes in response, and then followed Belle into
the house.

    Two
mornings later, Cinderella and Belle sat on tall barstools in Cinderella’s
kitchen.  Dana placed a pancake on each of their plates and watched the girls
for a moment.  Neither one noticed the pancake in front of them.  Cinderella
sat with her legs crossed and seemed to be staring at a particularly
mesmerizing leaf outside.  Belle sat with her arms folded, resting on the
counter, her eyes looking hard into the wood below her chin.  Both girls sighed
a long, painful gust of air before Dana finally spoke.
    “You
two hungry or what?”  Belle and Cinderella both jumped and then looked at Dana
