Goby looked at his watch. "Man, where are they?" he asked Gil, and Nonny. They were waiting, in their suit and ties, on Molly, Deema, and Oona, at their local restaurant. They were having their first triple date since Molly, Gil, Goby, and Deema, and Oona, and Nonny became a couple.
"I don't know," Nonny said, putting his phone down from his ear, "They aren't picking up. We told them to be here at 7, and it's almost 10!"
Gil glanced at Goby's watch. "This place is going to close in an hour. I hope they come soon."
Five minutes later, the guys found the girls swimming into the restaurant in casual dresses, and matching makeup. Molly was wearing a long blue dress, which reached the bottom of her tail. Deema wore a white crop top with a long, ankle length orange skirt, with red ruffles in the middle, and Oona wore a white and pink short dress that had thin straps.
"Hi guys!" Molly greeted.
The guys' eyes went wide, in shock. Goby finally shook his head to get out of his little daze. "What took you guys so long?"
"Hey," Deema started. "It takes time to look this good."
"How long does it really take to get ready, come on? Tell them, Gil," he nudged the blue-haired guppy with his elbow.
"You look beautiful, Molly," Gil said, in a day dreaming voice.
"Aww, thanks Gilly," the pink-haired guppy replied, as she held his hand.
"Gil!" Goby whispered. He flicked him in the head to get him out of his daydream.
"Wha? Oh right."
The waiter swam to their table, and placed a large pizza on their table. The guppies thanked them, and he placed a golden key in their table.
"Lock up when you're done, okay?" the lobster said, as he winked at Nonny, and swam out the door. The orange haired guppy let out a worried face, and faced the girls.
"You see? That's how late you are."
"We're sorry. You know, let's just let it go okay?" Oona suggested.
The guys exchanged looks in seriousness, and then finally agreed. "Okay."
. . .
Later that night, the guppies were all laughing, and eating pizza, and having a grand time. They were talking about their greatest memories all as friends.
"And how about the time Officer Miranda gave Mr. Grouper a ticket for swimming upside down!" Gil laughed. "That was awesome!"
"Yeah that was funny!" Deema agreed, as she picked up a slice of pizza. "He was purple too!"
Molly got up."Going to the washroom, wanna come?" she asked the girls.
They nodded, and the girls swam to the restrooms.
Gil watched them leave. "Okay I can't take it anymore. We need to do something about them being late. Sure being a couple minutes late is no biggie, but they were 3 hours?"
"I agree, we gotta do something." Nonny nodded.
Goby's face suddenly lit up. "I got it!" He explained his plan to the guys.
A couple minutes later, the girls came back, and sat altogether in the same side of the table. They found all the guys smirking at the table.
"Why are you guys up to?" Oona asked, in a suspicious voice.
"I don't know why it takes you girls so long to get ready. Us guys only takes a second to get ready." Goby started.
Molly laughed. "I doubt it."
"Really?" Gil asked. "I smell a challenge coming along,"
"So do we," Molly shot back. "We bet you we can get ready faster, and make dinner faster than you can get ready."
"Woo, that's tough, girl."
"We can handle it!"
"Then it's a deal," Goby chimed in. Friday night, were having dinner, and we will be the first ones ready BEFORE you get ready."
"You sir, got yourself a deal!" Molly shook his hand firmly. "My house. My parents will be out of town."
"Deal," the boys chorused.]
"Deal" the girls shot back.
"Deal!"
"Deal!"
