"And is that where you'll be?" he laughed, amused at how far they were both going with this. "Or will you be showing off around the boys' school? 'Cause if you are, then I'm definitely your selling partner. No arguing. There! It's done."

You're pretty! Those boys'll run after you, if they can!" he chuckled, rubbing the spot where she had just hit him. "If they see what I see, they wouldn't be able to stop thinking about you either."

"You're the prettiest girl around and all the girls should be jealous of you."

Look at Sapphy and-and Ershey and... and Zippy! I mean, they're gorgeous." Tag was beginning to feel uncomfortable. Did Specs really think she was that attractive?

Specs rolled his eyes at her, wishing she could understand how beautiful and precious she was. "Yes, but you're beautiful inside and out," he said reassuringly. "And you've got the brains to match it too. You're more than a pretty face."

So, she just nodded slowly before looking up at him. "Thank you."

Specs laughed, obediently nodding.

Both Specs and Tag stayed at Central Park all day, burning through both editions quite successfully, proving that they were both definitely a great team. Once they were out of papers, Specs laid down on a nearby patch of grass and let out an exhausted sigh.
