He blinked at the random question and laughed. "Oh... My favorite band is The Black Keys. Why?" Xander paused and grinned at her. "What about you? What do you like listening to?" He knew that The Black Keys weren't so popular and they were a typical rock band... Not the punk rock that people listened to nowadays but an old fashioned rock that he seemed to be attached to... Maybe because his father listened to it too.

Well that doesn't help, I've never heard of them. "Huh, well, I haven't the slightest idea of what they sound like, but I'll have to look them up." She was striking out bad, she'd have to go home soon and on their date she wouldn't want to question him. "I'm mildly obsessed with Mumford and Sons right now." She shrugged. "I'm really into Sara Barielles and The Killers as well, but Mumford and Sons have been playing just about non stop on my iPod for days."

Xander chuckled. "I'll send you an album of them one of these days so you can try listening to them." He had heard of Sara Bareilles and The Killers but he hadn't heard of Mumford and Sons. "Maybe we can trade..." He said, scrunching up his nose. "Never heard of Mumford and Sons before..." He lightly tugged on her hand so he could walk nearer the sandy shores by their backyard.
(short! sorry!)

Collins nodded. "Oh, yeah you could do that, or we could just listen to them on our date." She would probably go home and pull them up and listen to them just so she knew what it was. "Have you ever heard the song 'Little Lion Man?' It's probably the most well known at the moment, but their song 'The Cave' is also on the radio now." She walked with him down near the sandy shores.

"Mmm good point.", He laughed and shook his head a bit guiltily. "I haven't listened to the radio a lot these days so I'm not sure if that could really help me or not." They approached the beach and Xander looked at the sky, smiling at its brilliance. "So Collins, if you could have one thing... Anything at all... What would it be and why?" He turned to her and gave her an affectionate smile, absently squeezing her hand.

Collins looked to the sky, but then looked at him with his question. "I'd have to say my teaching degree and internship out of the way, because I'm ready to be out of school where I'm the student and actually start molding young minds." She shrugged her shoulder. "What about you?"

Xander grinned at her answer, glad it wasn't something shallow. In all the time he had met her, Collins had never ever done or said something that made him look down on her. On the contrary, everything she said or shared about herself just made him respect her and care about her even more. "That's a good thing to want. Me?", I pause and thought about things that I wanted and for some reason, the only one that seemed to truly stick in my head was something I could never ever get. "See my parents again actually..."

Collins nodded, she agreed, it was a good thing to want and most individuals who were going to become teachers often wanted the schooling to end and the teaching to begin. She turned when he stated what he wanted. "Oh Xander." She hugged him. "If I could make that happen for you I would." She kept her arms around him, but couldn't think of anything else to say.

She wrapped her arms around him and he froze, unsure of what to feel when her sympathy was practically drowning him. Xander reciprocated the hug and curled an arm around her waist while the other hand moved to lightly tug at her long hair. "Oh it's alright... I know it's impossible and I've accepted it. I just kinda miss them is all." He pulled away for the briefest of seconds so he could look into her beautiful eyes. "They would have liked you, Collins. I'm sure of that."

Collins smiled up at him and then rested her head against his chest. "I wish there was a way I could bring them back or do something that would help remind you of them, like in a way that wouldn't make you miss them." She made a face and looked up at him. "I didn't exactly get across what I was trying to, but I don't know how else to say it." She exaggerated the face she'd been making and then smiled. "I'm sure I would have liked them as well."

Xander chuckled at the face Collins pulled and his hand moved to lightly caress her cheek as he leaned down to cover her mouth with his. “What’s sad about the past is that you can never bring things back from them… No matter how much you wish or will it, it’s going to stay in the past. But what’s good about it is that you can remember and look back and it’ll make you feel good.” He shrugged and smiled at her. “Speaking of family, you know Jackie feels like I’m stealing you away from her, even if I did meet you first?”

Collins enjoyed the kiss and nodded at what he said. "I suppose I should spend time with her later then." She shrugged and gave him her best innocent face. "I'll just have to steal her away from Grady at lunch tomorrow." She raised her eyebrows. "Speaking of family..." She grinned. "I think my wittle cousin is interested in Jackie. He'd probably never admit it to her or anyone else, but I can tell."

Xander chuckled as he kissed her again, only briefly since he still had something to say. "You should, or else you won't have someone to spend your birthday with. She's tiny as hell but she kicks like Goliath." He pulled away and quirked a brow. "Oh really? Isn't Grady younger than her though? She has this idiotic rule about not dating anyone that's younger than her because she feels like she's babysitting them. It's retarded." Xander frowned. "I think she's met someone too... But she's not telling anyone who it is." He met her eyes and grinned. "I didn't know you were a meddling matchmaker... You have to promise not to tell anyone but I am too... Have you met the Tay's cousins, the Andersons?"

"No, I dont know if he's younger than her or not, he's sixteen but like I said, he'd never admit it and I'm sure he'll realize sooner or later that she's not interested and he'll move on. Garret's the same way. He has the hots for Aya, but he's learning quickly that she's no where near available so he's satisfied being the best friend, but I promise you, Aya becomes available he's going to be all over her." She grinned. "No, I haven't. But Xander, I'm not looking." She grinned.

Xander chuckled. "Yeah, Jackie's older than him. Those two sound really complicated huh?" He shook his head, pretty sure that the only time Aya would be available again was if Danian Arthur suddenly dropped from the face of the planet. And that wasn't very likely. He grinned at her and moved closer so that her mouth was near to his. "Well I didn't mean for you, my dear. As far as I'm concerned, you're all mine." He quirked a brow. "Tell Aya and Jackie to introduce Doll and Sasha to the brothers... I'm pretty sure Doll and Garret will get along marvelously." Xander grinned, knowing the boy would probably say something about Doll that would make her lose her temper.
