NAMES CHANGE7


Quote: What's in a name?




Peter, Sophie, and Scott walked into the restaurant and waited to be seated. Scott leaned up against a rail and looked around the place

Scott: Gosh I don't know the last time I had pizza

Sophie smiled at him

Sophie: Did they put you on a diet when you were working on the movie?

Scott shrugged his shoulders and gave a little confused look

Scott: Not really, I was just too nervous to eat

Sophie laughed and smiled at him

Waitress: Would you like smoking or non-smoking?

Peter: Non-smoking if you have it.

Waitress: Ok follow me

They all followed her to a table at the back of the restaurant and after she had written down what they wanted to drink, she left

Peter: So, what are we going to get?

He looked at the menu in front of him

Scott: Food

They all laughed and began talking…
***************************************

Shelby slightly pushed David out of the car and laughed as he tripped on his shoestrings.

Shelby: *sarcastically* Don't drip Davey

David gave her a little disgusted look and walked over to the vehicle that Hank was getting out of

Shelby turned around to see Ezra and Daisy walking up behind her

Shelby: So…

Daisy rolled her eyes and smiled at Shelby

Daisy: *dryly* You should have pushed him harder

Shelby laughed and walked towards the restaurant. She looked up as Juliete let out a loud squeal

Shelby: My word Princess.

Juliete: WHAT?

Shelby: You may be small but you have strong lungs

A wide smile crossed Juliete face as she grabbed Auggie's hand and led him inside

Kat: I guess we should follow her if we all want a table together

David: You sure you and Hank don't want some time alone

David smirked at them

*I love buggin Kat* he thought to himself

Kat: No that's fine thank you

She gave David a friendly smile and walked in behind Juliete

David: Is it possible to get her mad at you?

A look of thought crossed Ezra's face as he held up a finger

Ezra: Umm…nope

Shelby: *dryly* She has decided nothing bothers her

Daisy: *dryly* She claims that it can't as long as she has inner strength and Hank

Daisy gave a dry smile and walked into the restaurant. Ezra smiled at he held the door open for her

*She'll be mine someday* he thought to himself while glaring at David who was laughing at him.




They were all waiting to be seated…

Waitress: All of you together?

Auggie: Uh yeah, could we like get a big table together or somethin'?

The waitress looked around and then turned her attention back to the group

Waitress: How many?

David: There's eight unless you would care to join us.

He smiled playfully at the girl who just rolled her eyes and walked off. Everyone laughed at him

Auggie: Ouch man, that hurt

Ezra: Dissed again

He just gave them all a disgusted look and continued to stare at the waitress who was walking back to them

Waitress: I have a table open in the section smoking if that's ok…

They all shook their heads

Auggie: Yeah, that's cool

They al followed her

Daisy: *dryly* We all hope the smoke doesn't infect our lungs, which will cause an early death

Shelby raised an eyebrow at Daisy who just smiled dryly at her

Shelby: *sarcastically* You always did look on the bright side of things

Daisy gave a little laugh and Shelby just smirked at her

Scott sat leaned back in his chair and stared up at the ceiling

Peter: What you thinking about man?

Scott sighed and sat up, propping his elbows up on the table

Scott: Just stuff

Sophie bit her tongue so she wouldn't mention anything about Shelby. The suspense was killing her. She had so many questions for him…

Sophie: SO Scott…

Peter and Scott both looked at Sophie. She started fidgeting in her chair, not knowing what to say

Sophie: Um, what are your future plans?

Scott fooled around with his fork and looked down at the table

Scott: I'm not sure really

Peter nodded his head understandingly and slightly nudged Sophie under the table

She gave him a little grin, knowing that he didn't want her to mention Shelby to Scott

Peter: Our food should be here any minute

Scott nodded his head and pushed his chair out

Scott: Will you please excuse me

They nodded their heads as they watched Scott walk away

Peter: Don't mention it, ok Soph

Sophie shook her head reluctantly

*I just feel so bad for Shelby* she thought to herself.
********************************************

They had all ordered and were sitting at the table listening to Ezra's attempt at a joke

Auggie: Nice try EZ.

Ezra gave a disappointed look

David: *sarcastically* It was a good joke Ezzzzra. I looked at your face and cracked up.

Ezra rolled his eyes and looked away

Juliete: I have to go to the restroom, will someone come with me?

Auggie grinned at her

Auggie: Sorry Jules, can't

Juliete gave an embarrassed smile as David whooped and hollered

Juliete: Shelby?

Shelby rolled her eyes and stood up

A big smile crossed Juliete's face

Daisy: *sarcastically* Yeah, Shelby will protect you from the bad guys.

Shelby turned around and smirked at Daisy

Shelby: I don't need to. She just has to use those lungs of hers

Daisy laughed as they walked off

Juliete: Thanks Shelby

Shelby rolled her eyes but looked at Juliete

Shelby: Welcome

Juliete smiled, she knew Shelby was a nice person, but just didn't want to show it to her

Shelby: SO, how's was things with Auggie

Juliete's eyes lit up as a wide smile crossed her face

Juliete: It's great

Shelby rolled her eyes as they walked into the hallway where the bathrooms were

Shelby: Ok Jules, calm down

Juliete added a little bounce to her step…

"Shelby"

They both turned around…

Shelby's eyes widened

Shelby: Scott?

Juliete squealed as loud as ever…
