- The next day, at college-
"Hey, Miranda!", Dan said, spotting his black haired crush.
"Hi Dan! So, what's up?", Natalie replied. Act, act, keep up the act. He can't find out. Act, act.
"So, I was thinking, maybe you and Stephanie would like to come over for dinner at my place?", Dan asked.
"Sure, if Steph's fine with it.", Natalie replied, mentally cursing. What if Amy or Nellie recognized her?
"Well, I'm fine with it, Miranda.", Sophie said. Natalie could use a boyfriend.
"So, here's my address, you can come by at around seven and see ya!", Dan said, and took off.
Woah. Asking a girl to come to your place for dinner is hard.
-six thirty-
"Come on, Miranda! Let's go see your boyfriend!", Sophie sang.
"Okay, fine. Come on.", Natalie said.
Natalie and Sophie walked the streets down to Dan's house, while Natalie was mentally psyching herself.
Act, act, keep up the act. He can't find out. Act, act.
"Come on Nellie! Can't you cook a little faster?", Dan whined.
"Oh, shut it love-sick ninja master!", Nellie teased.
"Hey dweeb! What happened to ninja masters never fall in love?", Amy asked, also teasing Dan, making up for the years of love jokes about her and Ian Cobra.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
Dan rushed to the door.
"Hello, Miranda, Hey Stephanie. How are you guys?", Dan asked, trying to be all smooth and suave(like Ian).
"Oh my gosh Amy, he's fallen badly.", Nellie whispered.
"I should get this on video! This will be awesome blackmail.", Amy whispered back.
"... And this is Amy, my older sister and that is Nellie, our guardian.", Dan was saying.
"Hi, I'm Miranda.", Natalie said and extended her hand.
"Amy."
"Nellie."
-dinner-
"You know, Miranda, you really remind me of someone.", Amy said.
Natalie made a face and said, "Yeah. When Dan first saw me he called me Natalie..."
"But in actuality, you and Natalie are as different as can be. She's british and walks around calling people 'peasants', she loves prada and fashion.", Nellie said.
"'Peasants'? And prada must be sooooooo uncomfortable.", Natalie said, while in reality she wanted to say 'that's cool!'
Nellie and Amy and Dan are so clueless. But tricking Dan feels bad. What if he finds out, and it happens that he has a crush on me? I think I have one on him. But what if he thinks I betrayed him? Oh, this is bad.
Dinner was over too soon, and soon Natalie and Sophie were walking back home, thinking of the pleasant time back at the Cahill's.
Dan was staring at them walking down the street and Amy had planted a tracker on them, just to see if they were vespers.
-Dan's thoughts-
I can't believe Amy planted a tracker on them!
Meanwhile, Natalie had found the tracker and had planted it in a baby carriage, the same way the Cahills had done in the clue hunt.
She went home and told Stephanie about the tracker over heavy metal.
"It was definitely planted by Amy! We're not even vespers, but Cahills like them!", Sophie said.
"Don't worry. I have a plan to avoid suspicion and show that we're not Cahills. Tomorrow, when you see Dan coming, signal me. I'll start talking about losing my handbag yesterday in a flower shop. That way, Dan won't know. By the way, goodnight.", Natalie explained.
How was this chap?
