"It was good, wasn't it?" Marshall laughed, forgetting about how worried Shion had seemed a minute ago. She was fine now. Like he thought earlier; might have just been his imagination. "I guess I know what really bothers him. It's a talent, you know." He smiled, leaning his head against the wall. "But don't worry, I'll lay offa him for a while. You know, to take time and plot my next move." He was kidding [mostly], but Barnaby had seemed pretty angry, so maybe he'd leave him alone for a while , you know, just to recuperate. |

Shion bumped her shoulder against him with a smirk. "Yeah, right." She turned her eyes away with a smile, before a thought occurred... She turned her eyes back to him. "So, you say you know what bugs him..." a light blush crossed her face, "Do you know what... doesn't bug him? Like, what he likes?" Her eyes then flicked to the floor nervously.

"What he likes?" the question caught him by surprise. Now, why on earth would he want to know what Barnaby likes ? Useless information; Barnaby wouldn't be bothered by something he likes... Though, okay, so maybe he had picked up on a few things, but who wouldn't after spending so much time with him? ... Okay, that's starting to sound bad.
"He likes pink. If you couldn't tell." He snickered, not giving the question much thought. His mind came up with a blank. Could he really not know what Gumball liked? Or did he just not want to tell her? . He shot a glance to the Ravenclaw at the food table, as if that would help him. "Well, he likes dancing." He shrugged. "Oh! And I'm sure he likes baking. Cause this one time third year..." Yeaaaah, he wasn't going to tell that story.

As Shion listened to him speak, her expression grew sullen. "Pointing out the obvious isn't helping me here." That's when he said something about 'baking.' Shion's eyes lit up. "Baking?" She looked to Gumball, then back to Marshall. Maybe I could bake him cookies or something... Her mind began to wander, and she paid no mind to Marshall cutting off his own story. "Thanks for the somewhat help, Marshall. I figured I should ask you since you've known him for... ever." She grinned.

Yellow smiled brightly, happy that Jim had a better tasting one this time. "It sounds interesting." She had been nervous for no reason! And it had worked out just like she had hoped, with Jim getting a better flavor.

Jim froze. Her smile. it was… pretty… He quickly recovered and smiled back; unfortunately, it was a very cheesy smile with every single one of his teeth showing. He hadn’t intended for that to happen. He wiped his unnatural smile off his face and decided to just grin at her. “You know how to pick out the good flavors!” he said to her nodding his head towards the box of jelly beans.

Yellow shook her head. "I just guessed. It wasn't very hard." She found herself noticing the little things about him. He seemed nervous but his smile was bright and genuine.

Jim suddenly remembered something, something he wanted to ask someone at some point so he wouldn’t seem like a loser, but he couldn’t quite spit it out. What if she thought he was being to forward? or what if she secretly didn’t like him since he picked out a bad jelly bean for her? But he had to! “Um… hey, Yellow? Would you… um… would you… you can say no if you want… but… do you… want to… um………” his voice trailed off and his face became rather red, then he blurted it out “DOYOUWANTTOGOTOTHEHALLOWEENBALLWITHME?” He quickly clasped his hands over his mouth. He didn’t mean to yell, and he hoped that he hadn’t frightened her with that. His face and ears turned a bright fire-engine red.

Yellow's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, and she turned redder than a ripe tomato. "U-Ummm..." She glanced around now realizing that everyone probably heard that. Even if she and Jim were only friends now everyone would think something different...and he might be mad about that. "Th-That...I-I mean...Y-Y-Yes?" She fidgeted, glad she hadn't dropped the jelly beans with how startled she had been. He had truly scared her, and completely caught her off guard.

Hearing a long shout, Anri paused in her punch ladling and looked up. At the other end of the table, both Yellow and Jim had turned startling shades of red. Perhaps they had eaten some super spicy jelly beans? Grabbing a couple more cups and filling them with punch, she walked over to the two first years and held out the cups. "Have something to drink. It'll make you feel better."

Marshall laughed at the sound of Jim's shout. Oh, young love! What it must be like to be a youngster once again! He grinned, remembering back to those wonderful days when he could still be labeled as a "newbie" and get away with oh-so-much-more rule breaking! He sighed contentedly; the kid seemed nice enough. Now, he didn't want anyone messing with his little first year. Yeah. That's right; the only kid in the entire school gullible enough to believe almost anything he said and he wasn't about to lose that! If he lost this one, he'd have to wait a whole other year! Not worth the time and effort. So! Needless to say, if this Jim kid did anything to lead Yellow astray [that was his job], he'd have some explaining to do.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to yell that… I-it just kind of came out… are we just… going... as friends?… or…” Then someone had handed them some punch, it startled and confused Jim.”Um-um-um-thanks? What’s this for?” Then it hit him. everyone was staring at them now. His face turned from bright red to a ghostly white and he shrank down a bit, attempting very horribly to hide his face.

Yellow took the punch, the red of her face slowly turning back to a normal face color. "Th-Thank you miss Anri." She smiled brightly and shrunk down a little bit when she noticed how many people were staring at her. "M-M-Marshall!" She squeaked, spotting the older boy across the room. "Wh-Why is everyone staring?!" She had totally missed Jim's first question, mostly because she had quickly been distracted by other things so she didn't realize that he might /want/ to do something else.

Hearing the sudden shouting, Shion sprang up, almost reaching for her wand. "What's wro-?!" She stopped, seeing that it was only her friends, probably being silly. She sighed in relief with a laugh. "Oh, geez, I'm so paranoid." She grinned at Marshall.

"Ah, you're welcome." she murmured to the first years. The boy's face had now turned frightfully pale, and everyone had gathered around the food table. Taking her own glass of punch, she took a sip, indicating for Jim and Yellow to do the same.
