"Hey," Zoe smiled at the approaching figure. Dan gave a small smile back and came to stand next to her. He took a deep breath before turning to face her.

"Hey, I was wondering if maybe you'd like to catch a movie together sometime?" he stammered. Zoe smiled at how nervous he was.
"Not like a date or anything, just hanging out, the two of us." explained Dan. Zoe nodded then looked at him. "I'd love to," she smiled. Dan grinned back at her triumphantly "Cool!"he said, before rushing off, leaving a very amused Zoe in his wake.

2 weeks later

Dan smiled in content as he watched the film. Zoe was at in the adjacent chair, holding his hand. He leaned over to her.
"You've seriously never been to the cinema before?" he asked in astonishment. Zoe shook her head, and was about to say something, when she felt a buzzing in her pocket.
"Oh you're joking," she heard Dan mutter as he discovered the flashing pencil. Fortunately they were sat on the end of the row, for just such an emergency, but it was still annoying.
"Come on." he prompted, tugging on her hand. Zoe gave a sigh before exiting the building.

The couple snuck through the school silently. It was a Saturday, and neither of them thought the building was occupied, but it was always safer to check. They got into the cupboard safely and pulled the lever, quickly transporting them down to HQ. Dan and Zoe stepped out the lift, and joined Tom, Aneisha, Stella and Frank.

Stella looked at them disapprovingly. "20 minutes agents. It should have been quicker. What happened?" she said, waiting for an explanation.
Dan took a deep breath."We were on-ow!" he broke off when Zoe stood on his foot. "In traffic." she finished quickly, ignoring the skeptical looks from Tom and Aneisha, who were busy whispering between themselves.
Frank stepped forward and gave a cough.

"All we called you for was to test you on your reaction times; getting here as quickly as possible. Agents dismissed" he said. Dan sighed in frustration. "That's all you wanted to tell us?" he asked in disbelief. Frank and Stella nodded. Dan gave another frustrated sigh, before walking out, closely followed by Zoe, Aneisha and Tom.

The lift reached the cupboard with a ping and the four agents stepped out. Aneisha looked at Dan and Zoe suspiciously."So what we you really doing?" she asked inquisitively. Dan and Zoe shared a glance.

"We told you," said Zoe, not quite able to look Aneisha in the eye," We got stuck in traffic." Aneisha raised an eyebrow. "Not dressed like that you didn't." she pointed out.

Zoe was wearing a black, sparkly t-shirt with leggings, and Dan was wearing his best shirt and jeans. Dan and Zoe sighed in defeat. Dan held up his hand. "Fine, we were at the movies. Happy now?" he asked, then watched Tom and Aneisha high-five in confusion. Their friends were so normal.

Aneisha caught them staring at her and Tom. "We discuss a lot of things, today's topic was whether you two were on a date or not." she explained. Dan and Zoe both nodded and shared a worried glance.

"Do you think they stalk us?" Dan whispered in her ear. Zoe let out a laugh and nodded. "Yeah, definitely"
