Author's note: My first 6Teen story. EVER. All credit goes to my best friend, Scott. HE came up with this idea, not me. I'm just allowed to use it.

Jen was sitting by the Lemon, on a laptop. She was chatting to someone on a dating website, because let's face it, she just can't get a boyfriend that stays for very long. Caitlin was making a lemon squishy when the blender exploded, and the laptop got wet. Something went wrong, and Jen was kicked out of her chatroom, and placed in another one.
" Caitlin, what just happened?" Jen asked, and Caitlin shrugged. Jen just went back to chatting with the guy, but she found his personality was different. He was nice and optimistic before, but now he was mean and pestimisstic. Oh well, she thought. She found it a bit strange and annoying that he just wanted to talk about movies.
Eventually, Jen got fed up with all the movie talk.
" Why don't we meet up at the movies, if your so addicted to them, you probably won't care about the chick flick I want to see" Jen typed. A few seconds later she got a reply.
" I'm all for the movies and meeting you but NO WAY am I going to see a chick flick!! ... Well, I would, but only if you paid for everything" was his answer. Jen sighed. She started typing.
" OK, I'll pay for everything then. So, meet you at the movie theatre at 7?" Jen asked him.
" It's fine with me" was his response. Jen left the chatroom, and shut off the laptop.
" So, what'd he say?" Caitlin asked, excited. Jen grinned.
" We're going to the movies, but I have to pay for everything" Jen said.
" Wow, he sounds like a real cheapskate" Caitlin commented. Jen nodded in agreement, then headed off to work.

At 7, Jen waited by the movie theatre. Wayne showed up about 3 minutes after her, and they both just stood there for a moment.
" What are you doing here?" Wayne asked Jen.
" I'm waiting for someone, they were supposed to be here at 7" Jen said.
" I'm waiting for someone too, they were also supposed to be here for 7..." Wayne said. The two looked at each other.
" NO WAY!" Jen shouted.
" GAG ME WITH A SPOON!" Wayne shouted. People stopped and stared at them.
" I'm leaving" Wayne said, and started to walk away. Jen still stood there. He stopped and turned around. " Aren't you gonna leave?" Wayne asked. Jen shook her head.
" I told my friends I had a date" Jen said.
" So your gonna stay here and watch a movie by yourself? I think that's stupid. Just go home" Wayne said.
" I can't. What movie should I see?" Jen asked. Wayne thought about it.
" By yourself? None" Wayne told her.
" Oh.." Jen said, quietly.
" So your not going to see a movie?" Wayne asked. Jen nodded. " So what are you going to do now?" Wayne asked again. Jen shrugged.
" I don't know" Jen said simply.
" Well, I'm probably going to hit myself later, but I'll stay, I guess" Wayne said. Jen looked at him.
" Thanks" she said. They went and got two tickets to a movie Wayne thought they should see, and they went into the theatre. They sat in the back row. Neither of them said anything through the whole movie. When they got out of the movie, Jen grinned.
" Thanks" She said, again.
" I guess that wasn't so bad, but I'm not in a hurry to do it again any time soon" Wayne said. Then they parted company.

the next day, Caitlin, Jen, Nikki, Wyatt, Jude and Jonesy all sat at the regular table, well, Caitlin was working at the Lemon.
" So, how was your date last night Jen?" Caitlin asked eagerly.
" Well, it was OK, but it didn't turn out the way I thought it would" Jen answered. She had decided last night that she wouldn't tell the gang about her "date" with Wayne. She opened up her laptop, and checked her e-mail. She had one message, from Wayne. It was only a few words.
I'm not telling anyone about our "date".
Jen grinned. Then she closed the laptop, before anyone else could read the e-mail.
" Was he cute?" Caitlin asked.
Jen thought about it. " Well, there's definitely no other guy like him" Jen said. She was on her break, so Jen got back to the Penalty Box while Jude went back to Underground Video with Wyatt.
--
A few days later, Jen went to the Lemon on her break. Caitlin had a laptop, and it looked like she was chatting to someone. Jen sat down, Nikki was already there.
" Who's Caitlin talking to?" Jen asked.
" Some guy on a dating website, she said it was the same one you used a while ago" Nikki said.
Oh no, what if she's talking to Wayne? Wait, wait, wait. WHY do I care if she's talking to Wayne? WHY?! I care because she's my friend and.. er... I guess I don't want her to do what I did and go on a date with Wayne... Hold on, me, that wasn't a real date. That was a totally fake date. That was a pity date. But wait. If it was a pity date, wouldn't that make it a real date? Technically, it would. Oh no!, Jen thought.
" Hey Nikki, if I went on a pity date with someone, would that make it a real date?" Jen asked.
" Hey, don't get me involved with this" Nikki said. "Ask Caitlin."
" Caitlin, if I went on a pity date with some guy, would that make it a real date?" Jen asked.
" Yeah. Why?" Caitlin responded. Jen didn't answer her.
OH NO! That means I've actually DATED WAYNE! OHMYGOD NO! He's like.. Well, I don't know how old he is but he's an adult i'm pretty sure... and I'm only sixteen! I wish he had just left last night, I wish he didn't go to the movies with me..., Jen thought. Caitlin squealed, and that brought Jen back to reality.
" What?" Jen and Nikki both asked Caitlin. Caitlin grinned.
" I'm going to meet him at the movies tonight!" Caitlin said excitedly. Jen slammed her head on the table.
Oh my god, I hope it isn't Wayne... I don't want Caitlin to date him too... WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA. I'M NOT JEALOUS. I'm NOT. DEFINITELY NOT. It's WAYNE. From Underground. NOT jealous! TOTALLY NOT!, Jen freaked inside her head. Nikki and Caitlin looked at Jen.
" Are you OK, Jen?" They both asked. Jen lifted her head.
" I don't know" she said. Even though she was innerly freaking about Wayne, she STILL decided not to tell about the date. Jen opened her laptop and went on the dating website, and found Wayne's username. She opened up a chat with him.
Are you dating anyone tonight?, She typed. She waited a while, and then got a reply.
Yeah, we're meeting at the movies, was his response. Jen sighed.
OK, I was just wondering, she typed back. She waited, and in a few minutes she got another reply.
You'd tell me if it was your friend, right?, he had typed to Jen. Jen thought for a minute.
Yeah. Yeah, I definitely would, Jen answered. Jen grinned to herself.
There's no way the girl he's meeting is Caitlin, there are plenty of people on this site and Caitlin couldn't have picked Wayne to talk to, and now meet right?, Jen thought calmly. Then she got a reply.
OK, because I don't want to go out with another teen. Gotta go, the fartknockers (Jude and Wyatt) are bugging me and there are customers actually coming in, was what he had sent her. He then logged off. Jen closed her laptop.
'OK, because I don't want to go out with another teen'... 'go out with another teen'... 'another teen'... WHOA, gotta stop that. I'm looking into what he typed too much. Totally. He doesn't want to go out on another date with me, definitely NOT. He wasn't happy the last time, he wouldn't be happy a second time, right?, Jen asked herself. She was driving herself crazy with all her questions. She started a new e-mail.
When you said you don't want to go out with another teen, what did you mean? You didn't mean you wanted to go out with me again, did you? Was that pity date a real date? I'm freaking out about these questions!!
She sent it. She closed her laptop again, and she laid her head down on the table.

Later, Caitlin was standing at the movies at 7, just like Jen, and waited, when Wayne showed up. As soon as he saw her he groaned.
" Gag me with a spoon" He muttered. He walked up to Caitlin.
" What are you doing here?" Caitlin asked Wayne. Wayne rolled his eyes and slapped himself, startling Caitlin.
" I'm your date" Wayne saaid quietly, so no one else would hear. Caitlin looked at him in horror and shock. Trisha walked by, but stopped when she saw Caitlin. She started making fun of her. Wayne rolled his eyes and sighed. Caitlin looked like she was about to cry, first getting a date with Wayne, and now having Trisha make fun of her.
" You owe me for what I'm about to do" Wayne told Caitlin. He stepped forward, towards Trisha.
" See, Caitlin, this guy's just your type" Trisha and her friends said, laughing.
" Who does your make-up? It isn't Halloween you know" Wayne said.
" At least I'm not fat" Trisha hissed.
" Your so stupid you can get hit by parked cars" Wayne retorted.
" At least I'm cool" Trisha said.
" If my dog was as ugly as you are, I'd shave its butt and make it walk backwards" Wayne said. Trisha and her friends ran off after that one. Caitlin smiled at Wayne. Wayne just looked at her.
" What?" Wayne said.
" Thanks" Caitlin said. They went and Caitlin paid for everything, then the went into the theatre. After the movie, they came out, and Caitlin was smiling. Wayne was just in his all-around bad mood, liks usual.
" Don't get used to this, I didn't know I'd be dating another teen" Wayne grumbled.
" You dated a teen before me? What was her name?" Caitlin asked.
Smart one Wayne, Wayne thought.
" Her name was... Emma" Wayne said, after much thought. " Now drop it."
--
" I had a great time last night" Caitlin was saying. Jen and Nikki nodded.
" Nikki, you should try this dating website, its great" Caitlin said. Nikki snorted.
" You two could've dated the same guy, so why would I try the site and possibly get the same guy, too? No thanks" Nikki said.
" So, Caitlin, who was your date?" Jen asked, curious to see if it was Wayne or not.
" Oh, just some guy." Caitlin had also decided not to tell the gang about her date with Wayne. " I still think you should try the site, Nikki" Caitlin begged. Nikki sighed.
" If it gets you to shut up about it, I'll try it. OK?" Nikki said. Caitlin nodded. Nikki grabbed the laptop and registered to the dating site. She picked out a random user, and yawned. She started chatting away to the guy. For soeone who didn't want to try the site, she was chatting to the guy for a while before they agreed to meet, at the movies. She signed off the site and shut the laptop. Caitlin grinned.
" Now was that so hard, Nikki?" Caitlin asked.
" Oh, bite me" Nikki snapped.
