The weekend was coming up and Viola was nervous. Her double date with Toby and Eunice was getting closer and she didn't know how it would work out. Ever since the homecoming disaster, Toby asked Eunice out and they'd been a couple ever since. It was a bit weird at first and kind of a pain to watch. Not because she didn't like Eunice. But because everyone else was intent on making fun of them.

Toby suggested the idea of a double date. He said that Eunice really liked Viola and Olivia because they were always nice to her. And because they were the hottest couple in school. It would be a great way to celebrate some love, plus, Maria has helped them score some tickets to this low key concert with two indie bands and a comedian in between sets. It was going to be awesome. After that, they were going to Cesarios to finish it off with some pizza.

"Ok, so you ready, lady killer?" Toby said as he walked into Viola's dorm room Friday night.

"Yeah, I don't think this will work. I look like a brunette version of Blake Lively with the tie and the wifebeater. Are you sure this looks ok?" Viola asked, double guessing herself minutes before they were supposed to pick up the girls for their date.

"Stop being such a girl. You look fine. Besides you're already dating her, you don't need to impress her anymore. Well not that much anyway."

She rolled her eyes at her friend and smacked him on the shoulder. "Thanks for the vote of confidence man."

"No problem. You look hot, the girls will look hot. It'll be hot."

"Ladies and gentleman, Toby, ever the wordsmith."

"The concert was great. But why didn't Sebastian's band play there? Eunice asked as the group started walking towards the car.

"He's flunking algebra so my parents took away his guitar. And now he's too busy whining about life being unfair and writing sad songs about loss to play with his band."

"That's harsh man. If my parents took away soccer… I don't know what I would do Viola… since I don't have a sister I can impersonate." Toby laughed and hit his friend's shoulder playfully as she was pulling out of the parking lot.

During the drive everyone was talking about the concert and retelling the jokes told by the comedians. As Viola reached the parking lot of the pizza parlor they started arguing over what they would have for dinner. Toby and Eunice wanted pineapple and artichoke hearts pizza while Viola and Olivia wanted just a plain pepperoni and cheese pizza.

After sitting down at the booth and their arguing escalated, the waitress quickly told them that they could just ask for half pepperoni and half pineapple and artichoke pie. That way everyone would be satisfied and the rest of the customers wouldn't be scared off by the group of teenagers.

"So, how is the season looking this year?" Olivia asked, unsure of what to start the conversation between Toby and Eunice with.

"We don't have a season yet. We just finished it. It's all training so we can look good for the upcoming season. And coach says that if the first stringers can sell enough chocolate bars before school ends, we'll get to go to soccer camp."

"Really Toby? Since when? I didn't hear him say…"

While the soccer players talked excitedly over the summer camp and how great it would be to go, their dates looked at each other and Olivia tried to start a conversation with Eunice. Who wasn't wearing her glasses or her headgear anymore.

"So, anything new with you Eunice? How's science class? Still being the best lab partner ever to Duke?"

"Yes I try, but sometimes it might be too hard. My mom says that my intensity scares some people." Eunice breathed heavily and leaned too closely to the blonde.

"It's not that. People just need to get to know you better." Olivia smiled and patted Eunice's hand with hers.

After their food arrived and the couples had been talking for sometime the conversation invariably turned to high school and relationships.

"So, how come it took you so long to start dating Eunice if you said you had liked her for a while?" Viola asked.

"Well… honestly. I was kind of afraid. Since the guys always made fun of me for liking her and when I wanted to ask her out they laughed harder and would make soccer practice hell with their taunting and stuff… I guess I just kind of gave into the whole peer pressure thing." Toby answered, looking down at the table while gathering his thoughts.

"But after the whole homecoming thing, where it was like, you were actually you… I thought. Hey, that's pretty cool, that you were willing to go that far and risk so much just so that you could play soccer. And I thought… well it's silly but it kind of gave me the courage to ask Eunice to dance and then by the end of the night. I asked her to be my girlfriend and I didn't care that the team made fun of me anymore. So in a way. I have you to thank." He said, smiling and taking Eunice's hand under the table. "We both do."

With that Viola had an epiphany. I have to tell my parents I'm gay. God I feel like such a hypocrite for helping Toby stand up against those guys and I can't even tell my parents I'm dating Olivia even the whole school knows. I stood up against Illyria and against Cornwall just to prove a point about being good enough to play with the boys. And I can't face my parents just because I'm afraid of disappointing them again? Well… letting them down is a bit harder to face than stupid Justin and his looser friends. Sebastian is right. I have to tell mom and dad, even if they kill me. That'll probably make him happy because it will get them off his back long enough for him to sneak off and play guitar. That bastard! He planned it all. Oh, wait. He was grounded after this so it's not like he could have planned it. Unless he has to go back to the future!

"What's wrong V?" Olivia asked as she kissed her on the forehead.

"Nothing, just thinking about stuff."

"Can I ask as to what sort of stuff you're thinking about?" Eunice inquired.

"Just about telling my parents I'm dating someone… someone who just happens to be another girl…"

"You mean you haven't told them yet?!" Toby laughed and soda squirted out of his nose. "Have you?" He looked at Olivia as Eunice wiped down his face and the table.

"Yes, as a matter of fact I did…" She answered, with her most diplomatic smile.

"Really?" All the teens gawked at the picture perfect girl, unsure of how to react to the fact that now her parents knew she was dating the school cross-dressing soccer player who just happened to like girls too.


Author's Note: I did this chapter quickly because I was guilt tripped by the fact that I haven't updated forever. I am also writing the next chapter already. So it will be up sometime this weekend. Thank you for your reviews. I will try to update more frequently now *blushes*
