"I hate to admit it, but she totally could. I guess at least it's not a big beard," she grinned back, laughing a little. "She's going to kill me, but she'll do it. I have my ways."

Shrugging her shoulders, Jenny gave her best innocent look, as if she hadn't known these facts all along and used them to her advantage. "Would I tell a lie about my own sister? I mean she doesn't like apples as in she hates apples! You didn't notice her distinct lack of snacking?" the blonde asked playfully, raising her eyebrows at him. "But like I said, I didn't hear her complaining, even though she hates apples.. so I guess she must have had a really good time with you, Hen."

"Shaggy's got that little beard," he said sticking his fingers to his chin to show her. "Sera will rock it," he giggled. "No one can resist a Parry with a pout."

Now that he thought about it... she hadn't eaten any apples. "Huh," he said scratching his chin. "Now that you point it out I have noticed the lack of apples," he scrunched his nose up and then tried to look as passive as possible. "Well... I've had a really good time with her too... but I mean... I always do... you know... we're best friends and everything," he mumbled.

"It's like, a soul patch! Very vintage," Jenny giggled back. "She so can't resist a Parry with a pout, even when she's trying to be all.. serious and diplomatic."

Scooting around a bit and getting comfortable again, the blonde leaned on her elbow to support herself and face him better. "I know," she mumbled back, smiling a little. "You guys are super cute."

He giggled a little. "Yeah well you Parrys could take down even the most stoic of diplomats," he grinned. "Something about big blue eyes, no one can say no to them," he laughed.

He blushed even deeper. "Oh... yeah," he mumbled a bit shyly. "You know she makes anyone look cute," he smacked himself in the head gently. "I mean! Well! You know..." he trailed off.

"I have to admit, these eyes have never let me down," Jenny laughed back. She lifted a hand, pointing to her left one. "They get 'em every single time."

She couldn't help but giggle as Hendrix mildly embarrassed himself, and she reached over to give him a gentle poke. "I so know what you mean. Let's just say I've been there," she murmured, before quickly adding. "Not with Ella, obviously but.. someone else we know."

He felt his stomach dropping, he knew for sure that Jenny knew now. He rolled over in the grass and buried his face. "I'm so awkward," he said into the grass.

He looked up at Jenny and sighed. "What do I do?" he asked innocently.

"You're not awkward!" Jenny quickly informed him, the earlier mentioned irresistible Parry pout taking her over. "You're like, so awesome and Ella is.. well, she's like, not a dater. But you guys would be super cute together, you know she loves you! Just as like.. I dunno, maybe more. Won't know if you don't ask, right?" she suggested.

"Sometimes best friends just.. see each other differently when they grow up," she added by way of an attempt at comfort. She and Ella had been hanging out with Hen for years, and when she looked back, she was surprised she hadn't noticed something sooner.

"Well," she began slowly as he looked at her, "you have to be honest! Girls love honesty. And flowers, just.. pick her some flowers and tell her how you feel," she instructed him. "None of my boyfriends ever did that.. Charlie gave me a stolen ring once.. but El needs a boy who's like, respectful and handsome and like, gets her. You so get us, you're perfect."
