Here's the next chapter! And I may make Holly out to be a little over enthusiastic in this chapter, but I hope it works.

And credit to irshgirl for this chapter, because I'm stealing one of the ideas she gave me (;
On with the show!

Claudia reached for her door handle as soon as Doug had parked the car right in front of Café Diem. "Where did you get your driver's license? Gosh, you're almost as bad as Artie."

Doug smirked. "You could have driven here."

Claudia cut him a glare. "You wouldn't let me, remember?"

"You ready?" Doug asked with a smile as Claudia shrugged her jacket on and he grabbed his keys off the counter.

Claudia nodded, but stopped him as he made to leave the house. "Wait… Can't I drive?"

Doug smiled at her. "Uh… No." He pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Come on, let's go."

"But Dougie…" She whined following him out to his car, "please?"

"I know," Doug glanced at her as she opened her door. "But uh… Thanks for coming with me," he added in sort of an afterthought.

"Of course, Dougie." Claudia smiled, walking around to the driver's side of the car. "Besides, I haven't talked to Allison or Jo since my last visit." She said, sliding her hand into his. "Are you ready to go inside?"

"Yeah," he smiled back at her. "I am."

The couple walked hand in hand into the welcoming café. They spotted Allison, Jo, Kevin, and Jack sitting at a table for 6 near the back of the establishment. The trio looked just like Claudia had remembered them.

Jo looked bored yet alert, from sitting with the couple. Kevin was staring at his mom's hand on the table, which was currently covered by Jack's larger one. Jo looked up when she heard the café's door open, and she smiled. "Finally," she mock-grumbled, winking at Claudia, who sat down next to the woman.

"Hey guys," Claudia greeted, sitting in the sear next to Allison, while Doug sat down next to jack on the opposite side of the table, "long time no see."

Vincent was upon the group almost as soon as Doug and Claudia had sat down. He handed them the drinks they liked (he'd even remembered that Claudia loved the strawberry lemonade), before handing them all menus and disappearing again.

The group started to make small talk, most of them wanting to known about the current events at the warehouse, especially Kevin, who seemed to be very interested in the place. Claudia noticed that Doug always looked right at her when she talked, right in her eyes, and it made her insides flutter. In a good way. In a really good way.

"So then no world threatening events we should know about?" Jo asked jokingly as Claudia repeated the exciting details of her and Steve's last mission.

Claudia smiled, and was about to answer as the café door opened, and another redhead walked in.

"Doug!" Holly squealed, running to the table and jumping into Fargo's lap. "I didn't know you'd be here when Jo invited me." Fargo glared at Jo, who spoke up instantly.

"Well, I mentioned was meeting Doug and Allison and Jack here… But I didn't know you wanted too… Holly." Jo finished faux-cheerfully as Doug tried to push Holly off his lap.

Holly brightened. "Of course I'd come, silly." She laughed. "You know I love Do-"

Doug cut in, finally succeeding to push the redhead off of him, but she grabbed a chair from a neighboring table and pulled it to the head of the table.

"This is uh, Claudia." Doug introduced awkwardly.

Claudia, on the other hand, had looked questioningly at Doug, before sticking her hand out and forcing a smile onto her face. "Nice to meet you," she greeted coldly, before harshly kicking Doug under the table. Explain her glare said.
