Scarlett grinned, "I can say that I'm fairly decent at tag," She glanced at the coin and nodded, "Two out of eighteen."

"yep, tails." He grinned and turned on the intersection "Tag at Walmart, sounds like fun."

She laughed, "That definitely would be different, and fun." She smiled and looked around at their surroundings as they walked.

He nodded "though I think we'd get kicked out," he said with a smile "Scar, are you…alright with what I did back there at Keith's." He asked after a few moments of silence

"The kiss?" She asked, nodding slightly and blushing, "Yeah, though it did surprise me a little."

He watched the ground as they walked "Im sorry if It was too soon, or if you weren't ready for it, it was never my intention to force anything upon you." He said with honesty

She shook her head, "No, it was fine, I promise," She said, looking up at him, "It was fine Jassie."

he sighed a laugh, hereing her adress him like so many friends had sent a wash of warmth through him. they got to another intersection and he flipped the coin. "right," he said with a smile "I think we're ging in circles…"

"Nah, we'll get a left eventually," She smiled at the ground and continued walking, humming softly to herself.

He rubbed his thumb over her intertwined hand "what song?" He asked gently as they continued to walk

"What if we rewrite the stars," she sang softly, a smile on her face, "I can't remember the name of the song, stupid brain."

He glanced at her with soft eyes and smiled "not stupid, just full of creativity," he said "Greatest showman right? I love this songs."

Scarlett nodded, "The greatest showman is a great show." She bumped him with her shoulder and grinned, "I can't say I agree about how creative my brain is.."

He nodded in agreement with her first statement "It's Hughe Jackman, how can one not like it," He side glanced at her and shrugged "there's so much creativity that there's not enough room for thinking straight." he said

"I wish," She said, looking up at him as they neared the next inner section, "What direction do we go now?"

He flipped the coin and caught it "right," he said glancing down at her with a smile "I'll race you to the next intersection

"You're on," She grinned and let go of his hand, getting into a running stance, "Ready? Set?" She shook out her arms and yelled, "Go!" running down the sidewalk.

He stopped and watched her "Did I forget to mention which intersection?" he started to walk backward to the intersection they were at before

She turned back and saw he was walking away, "Jerk," She mumbled with a grin, spinning around and starting to run up the other way towards him.

He glanced back "oh darn," he broke into a run with a grin, heading for the intersection with a wild laugh

"You're not going to win this Jassie." She called, running faster with a grin. She heard him laugh and she chuckled.

"Bet!" he yelled back slowly gaining speed. He glanced back at her fire, beautiful, wild, free, fire. he thought with adoration

She started breathing harder and saw the innersection coming into sight. She grinned and just held her speed, knowing she would run out of energy if she didn't.

Jasper reached the intersection first and stopped a few yards away. He turned and waited for Scarlet, leaning against a stop sign and crossing his arms over his chest, breathing hard from the run

"I would've won," She panted, slowing down to a stop in front of him, "If you had told me which way we were racing." She put her hands on her knees and tried to slow her breathing down, the grin still on her face.
