Belle's P.O.V.
Belle looked at the Cahills sitting in the living room with her. Amy was looking at the ground. Ian was scowling at nothing in particular. Hamilton was fidgeting nervously on the couch. Sinead was glaring at him.
What happened here? Belle thought.
"Alright!" Jonah said, standing up. "I decided that we all need to do some bonding together, so I made reservations at that restaurant a few miles from here."
"You mean that fancy restaurant?" Dan said, scowling.
Jonah nodded.
Hamilton's eyes widened. He exchanged a panicked look with Sinead.
Interesting, Belle thought. What was going on between those two?
"Oh, Hamilton and Sinead can't go." Dan said, breezily.
"Why not?" Jonah asked.
"Because they're going on a date together." Dan said, nonchalantly. "At that same restaurant."
Hamilton's eyes widened. "How-"
Dan grinned. "I got it on film. Wanna see?"
Hamilton's jaw dropped. Sinead groaned.
"What?" Ned said, turning to look at the two. "You two are what?"
"Since when were you two dating?" Luke asked.
"Er..." Hamilton said, glaring at Dan. "Not for very long."
"When were you going to tell us this?" Madison asked.
"We weren't planning to," Sinead grumbled under her breath.
"Then you guys can go on your date. We'll sit at another table." Jonah said.
"I don't think that's-" started Sinead.
"Don't worry about it, yo. You won't even know we're there." said Jonah.
Sinead and Hamilton looked at each other. By the look on Dan's face, Belle knew that this wasn't going to be an ordinary dinner.

Hamilton's P.O.V.
Hamilton looked back at his family for the tenth time in the last five minutes. They were chatting with each other and glancing in his direction every few minutes. Dan was grinning at him and holding his video camera in his hands. Hamilton quickly turned back around.
"I never imagined our date to be like this at all." Hamilton moaned.
"So, you imagined our date before?" Sinead asked with raised eyebrows.
Hamilton blushed. "That's not what I-"
"I get it," Sinead said, rolling her eyes. She looked around. "Why did you choose this restaurant?"
"I didn't. Lacy did," Hamilton mumbled.
"So, you just went with whatever she said?" Sinead said. For some reason, that thought bothered her.
"I wasn't really in the mood to argue with her at that moment." Hamilton said.
They were silent for a few minutes.
"Hey, there she is." Hamilton said.
Sinead turned. A petite girl with red hair was walking towards him. A lanky guy with curly blonde hair was next to her.
"Hey, Hamilton," Lacy said, smiling. She looked at Sinead. "You must be Hamilton's girlfriend. I'm Lacy."
Sinead put on a fake smile. "Sinead."
The teen next to her smiled. "Nice to meet you all. I'm Cory."
Hamilton looked up at them. "I'm Hamilton."
Lacy and Cory sat across from the couple.
"So," Lacy said. "Where did you guys have your first date?"
Hamilton and Sinead exchanged a look.
"The movie theatre."
"This restaurant."
The two Cahills glared at each other.
"Oh, so you went to both?" Lacy asked.
Hamilton held back a sigh of relief. "Yeah. That's it."
Sinead let out an almost inaudible sigh. This was going to be a long night.

Amy's P.O.V.
"What is this thing?"
"I don't know. You ordered it!"
"Stop kicking my leg!"
"Oh, that was your leg?"
"Put that camera down!"
Amy sighed. People around them were starting to stare at them, obviously wondering what was going on.
"Guys, would you behave?" Amy hissed. "People are staring."
"It's not my fault your brother keeps kicking me." Natalie said, glaring at Dan.
Dan scowled. "Your feet are in my space."
"Your space?" Natalie cried. "If anything your feet are in my space."
Dan snorted. "I can be in your space if I want to. It's a free country."
"That doesn't mean-"
"Would you all be quiet?" Belle exclaimed, slamming her fist on the table so hard her drink spilled. The wate spilled on Natalie's dress.
Natalie let out a shriek and jumped up. "This is silk!"
Dan grinned. "I can't believe I'm getting this on film."
Natalie glared at him. She threw her bread at the Madrigal. Dan ducked just in time. He grinned. "Food fight!"
He put his free hand in his bowl of spaghetti and threw it at Natalie. It got all over her dress. She gasped and glared at him. She picked up her plate and threw the contents at him. Dan dodged just in time, so the food hit Ian's face instead.
The Holts burst out laughing and started throwing their food at everyone, too.
"Stop it!" Amy cried.
No one listened to her.
"Children-" started Alistair. He was silenced by the spaghetti that was thrown at his face.
"Sorry, Uncle Alistair! I was aiming at Ian." said Dan.
"What?" Ian sputtered, wiping the spaghetti off his face.
The Cahill were so busy laughing and throwing food, they didn't see the man walking towards them.
"Excuse me-" he started, sternly.
Natalie dumped her water in Dan's direction. He ducked, letting the water hit the man's face instead. Natalie gaped in horror. The Cahills grew silent.
The man glared at them. The gold name-tag on his suit said MANAGER.
"Uh oh," Dan said.
"We're dead," Belle muttered.
Amy couldn't agree more.
