Challenge: 18 “We’ll see”
“Hey, look,” Marcus patted Garrett on his shoulder.
Garrett turned and noticed the strawberry-blonde. Marcus was saying something, but he ignored him. His feet started moving. “Where’s he goin’?” Marcus asked.
“Looks like he’s about to move on that girl,” Jacob said.
“Damn him. Hope he fails,” Marcus replied.
“We’ll see,” Jacob added.
“Care to wager?”
“I’m broke,” Jacob added.
“Okay, loser does the winner's homework for a week,” Marcus said, watching Garrett and the new girl intently.
“Just a week?”
“Two weeks.” Both boys shook hands, sealing the bet.

“Hey guys!” Wyatt announced his arrival.
“Quiet porky, we’re watching your brother with the new girl. I’ve got a bet and I don’t want to lose,” Marcus said.
“Oh yeah, what’s the bet?” Wyatt asked.
Marcus rolled his eyes. Garrett’s little brother was annoying. “It’s not for little runts like you to know.”
Wyatt huffed and crossed his arms. We’ll see, he thought. The boys watched Garrett and the new girl. Wyatt shook his head and pursed his lips. He couldn’t understand the fascination with girls: they were gross, except for Andy. Then again, she was no ordinary girl.

The strawberry-blond smiled. “Hi there.” Her eyes twinkled in the afternoon light from the suns.
Garrett put his arm up on the wooden pole and leaned against it. He returned her smile with one of his own. “What are they doing?”
“Talking and,” she glanced behind Garrett, “now they’re shaking hands.”
“They’re betting.”
“On us?”
“Mostly on me.”
“Oh, I see,” she smiled and raised a brow. “Then, what do we do?” she asked taking a step closer.
“Let nature take its course and we’ll see what happens,” Garrett said, giving her a crooked smile.
“Like this?”
She kissed him.

Challenge: 18 “We’ll see”
“Will we see you again, Mister Cain?” DG asked.
Cain’s expression was uncertain. “I’m not sure, Princess. I’ve got some things to sort through and of course, there’s Jeb.”
“I understand.” she glanced at her own family. She had to let Cain go to reconnect with his family and to heal emotionally.
She stood in front of Jeb. “You take care of him, okay,” she leaned in close to his ear, “he tends to get shot and break the law,” she whispered.
Jeb smiled. “Yeah, Princess…we’ll see what we can do.”
Wyatt eyed the two kids with raised brows.
Word Count: 101 (so sue me)
Jeb glanced at his father as they left the throne room. “What?”
“What was that?” Wyatt asked, looking at his son.
“What was what?”
“That look?”
“What look?”
Wyatt growled. “It’s like talking to Glitch,” he mumbled. “The look…I know the look.”
Jeb stopped. “It’s that noticeable?”
“Yes.” Wyatt paused and then sighed. “Do you want to stay?”
“Dad, we agreed…”
“Son, I’m asking you. Do you want to stay?”
“Yeah, I do.” Jeb smiled.
“Then stay.”
“What about you?”
“I can’t, Jeb. There are some things I have to do first, then, we’ll see, maybe I’ll come back.”
Jeb nodded.
Word Count: 100
“He wanted you to stay,” DG reminded him.
“I know, but he needs me,” Jeb said.
“He needs time, Jeb. He’s not about to let you out of his life. Give him space and let him mourn.”
“We should mourn together,” Jeb answered.
“You’ll have time for that. Sometimes, people just need to mourn in their own way. When he’s ready, he’ll be back. ”
Jeb turned and took DG into his arms. “Do I get a room closer to yours?” Jeb asked.
“We’ll see about that.” DG winked.
Jeb turned, looked off towards the horizon. “See you soon, dad.”

Challenge: 18 “We’ll see”
A/N: Yes, I went there because of this.
“Wyatt!”
“Yeah!”
“I have stationary in the drawer of my nightstand; can you get me a couple of sheets?”
“Sure.” Wyatt opened the drawer and something rolled to the front. His brows arched and a crooked smile spread across his face.
“Did you find it?”
“Yeah, I found it alright,” he muttered to himself and then replied: “Yeah, I got it.” He fought back laughter. “We’ll see what she says about this.”
Adora looked up at him and he gave her the sheets.
“With me around, I don’t think you’ll be needing this.” He held up the phallic-shaped device.
“Oh gods.”
Word Count: 93
Adora didn’t know what to say. There was Wyatt standing there with her…toy. She swallowed and found that her mouth was dry.
Wyatt got down on his knees in front of her. He looked at it and twirled it around in his hand. He ran his finger over the ribbed-tip. “Does this really work?”
Adora nodded, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Wyatt smiled. “We’ll see then. I want you to go to the room, get undressed, and wait for me on the bed. You understand?”
Adora nodded. “Yes, Wyatt.”
Wyatt smiled, mischievously.
“Good.”
