Ok, people. Sorry for the shorter chapter. I'm really busy. Ever tried running a contest, updating two stories, and studying for finals? Yeah. I know. Quite difficult. Anyways, Enjoy!

Natalie felt a wave of nausea pass over her as she looked at the food the McSomething Waiter placed in front of her. Not only was the salad lacking finely chopped almonds, but whatever else was in the crinkly package smelled revolting. A bit like the dog food they used to feed their homing poodles.

Dan was already digging in. "Um." He mouthed. "Dish ish sho good!"

Does he not know its not polite to talk with food in your mouth? She thought, shaking her head. Then she looked at the lump before her. Natalie swallowed hard, and opened the crinkly package. Something round and white and slimy and dripping with cheese stared up at her.

"Jusht thry it!" Dan said, his mouth full of food once again. It was revolting the way these Americans eat.

Natalie shuddered, and reached for the silverware. To her horror, there weren't any. Not any real silverware. Just some small plastic thing that came with her salad. She looked over to where Dan was picking up the concoction and using his hands to feed his greedy mouth.

Natalie looked down at whatever was in the crinkly paper. For Goodness Sake! They couldn't even use plates at these American restaurants.

Finally, using 100% of her will power, Natalie Kabra picked it up and took a bite of her very first cheeseburger.

At first, she wanted to vomit. It was squishy, and reminded her of those Indian Donuts she'd had one time at an Indian Restaurant. They were squishy and rubbery. She shuddered. Then she realized it was delicious. Meaty juices exploded in her mouth, and she tried not to gasp. It was so GOOD! Maybe that was why Dan was shoveling the round thing in his mouth and ignoring the salad. Maybe she should just follow Dan's lead tonight.

She gobbled down the round thing, and picked at her salad. After eating whatever that delicious thing was, the salad was wimpy and wilty.

Dan was doing the same thing. She glanced over at him, shyly, trying to ignore the way his dirty blonde hair shone in the light. "What was that you just gave me?" She asked, feeling stupid.

"Um, a burger, you've never had one before?" Dan was trying to hide his surprise, and was doing a very poor job of it.

"No, you idiot. In the UK we eat good food!"

"Right..." Dan said. He looked crushed.

Natalie blurted, "It's ok. You tried. Actually..." She paused. Did she want to tell Dan she'd liked it? "It was really good."

Dan brightened. "Really?"

"Yeah. Not quite as good as a shrimp salad, with shredded almonds and cilantro, but still good nonetheless."

"Uh, I think it was fresh cilantro."

"What?" Natalie asked. How did he remember that it had to be fresh cilantro? That was creepy.

Dan blushed. "Whatever. Sorry."

"Stalker much?" Natalie asked, arching her perfect eyebrows.

Dan blushed again. "Uh, why would I stalk you?" He asked.

Natalie was inwardly laughing now. "I don't know. It's you! You're weird. You just do stuff like that. Like taking me to a video game place despite the fact that we're freaking twenty-one!"

Dan blushed. "I didn't want go shopping." He mumbled looking down at his hands.

"Right. Whatever. You love shopping with me." Natalie said, trying not to laugh. This was so fun. I wonder why I never realized until now, just how fun it is to torment Dan Cahill. Natalie chortled. This was going to be a fun evening.

oO0Oo

Dan hadn't known until know just how annoying Natalie Kabra was. And pretty. And hot. She moved almost seductively, causing those standing around her to look at her twice.

Not only were her physical features beautiful, but she was smart too. She'd come up with amazing comebacks all night. Dan hadn't even known Natalie knew what a comeback was!

Recently, when he'd said, "The only reason you're here in America is because you wanted to see all the hot American boys, me included." He'd batted his eyelashes at her.

She'd said, "No, if I want to see cute boys, I look them up on Instagram."

It wasn't the best comeback, but coming from a Kabra's mouth made it seem like the best one ever. Then he'd asked her, "Do you even know what Instagram is?"

She'd said, "Duh. Do you think I live in the 17th century or something?"

"Yup." Dan had said.

Natalie had just rolled her eyes at him, and laughed. After that they'd lapsed into a comfortable silence.

Dan smiled. Her laugh was beautiful, like a trickling stream. It made him want to laugh with her. He glanced over to where she was sitting, in the driver's seat next to him. She was smiling at something someone had texted her.

From the side, her smile was the most beautiful thing Dan had ever seen. It lit up her soft features, and made her look like some type of Sun Goddess.

When they arrived back at the restaurant, Natalie broke the comfortable silence. "Let's go spy on Amy and Ian."

"Wait." Dan said. This wasn't the Natalie he knew. Why isn't she running off to fix her makeup? "We're like twenty-one and you want us to go spy on our siblings?"

"Hey," Natalie said, "You took me to a video game arcade, I'm sure this is much more mature than that."

"Ouch." Dan said.

"Sorry." Natalie said, smiling at him. "Besides, killing zombies? Seriously."

"Double ouch." Dan groaned, feigning hurt.

"Yeah, whatever." Natalie said. "Live with it."

Dan got out, opened the door for Natalie, and then they slipped inside to spy on their siblings.

Tell me what you think guys! I hope you liked it!
