"Gah!" screamed Lauren, as she was woken with a start by a steam of cold water.

"Fuck! Shit, Julia what in the world are you doing its 3 in the morning! Why the hell...Jesus Christ this is Joe's instructions isn't it?"

Julia laughed and nodded.

"Well not exactly...he said to wake you, he didn't say HOW..."

"You bitch!" laughed Lauren, "right what exactly do I have to do?"

"Get up."

"What?"

"Joes outside... I may have been a bit late with the waking up thingy...its Jamie's fault! She said to let you sleep for a bit longer..."

Lauren gasped.

"Julia! I'm in my pyjamas!"

Lauren looked down at herself, he wore long, soft pyjama bottoms, a pale blue patterned with white dots, and a v-neck long sleeved white tee. She sighed. She looked like a child.

"Julia, I look about 5."

Julia smiled and looked Lauren in the eye.

"Lauren honey...he really doesn't give a shit. He thinks the sun radiates from you and you poop rainbows".

Lauren laughed and sat up in her bed. Wincing as her feet hit the cold floor, yawning.

"So it's 3 in the morning and I'm supposed to go out in the cold and the dark...in my pyjamas?"

"Lauren shut up and go!" said Julia, who was now standing by the door, drinking a coffee. Lauren snatched it out her hand and gulped so of the hot beverage down, scalding her throat.

"Serves you right..." muttered Julia, as Lauren winced at her burning mouth.

"Fine I'm going!"

Lauren grabbed a jacket and walked outside to Joes car, it was freezing, but she wasn't shivering because of the cold, she hadn't been this excited in a while... she opened the door and climbed in next to Joe, it was warm compared to the frosty air outside, and then improved her mood greatly.

"Hey you," he said softly, and Lauren laughed as she realised he was quoting his words to Quirel in avpm!

"Less talking more coffee, its three in the morning!" she said, grinning. Joe was relieved to see the light back in her eyes that had been absent through her relationship with Jack...

They drove in silence for a while, but unlike the silences between her and Jack, this one was comfortable and companionable. Joe turned on the radio and Katie Perry's "roar" burst through the crackly speakers, soon the friends were belting it out, and laughing manically as they drove down moonlit roads, heading towards there mystery destination.

Just a little baby chapter to tide you over, as the next one is gonna have to be big! It will include the whole date, and the answer to the question, "Does Lauren love Joe?"

Please review giving me ideas on how this date should go, what should they do, eat, where should they go, etc as it would both make me very happy and really help me out! Hugs and butterfly kisses, Ingrid!x
