Chapter 20!!!!!!!!!

Here I am, listening to Weird Al Yankovic songs whilst my parents are stranded in a massive flood and I haven't got an internet connection BECAUSE of the stupid floods – when I thought, hey! I could be using this time to be writing the next chapter of TFGTE for my amazing readers – (now listening to 'Just A Song About Ping Pong' by Operator Please XD) which is exactly what I'm going to do! XD Oh, I have been told off by wierdalien to stop making Max jealous (his nickname's Fang), but it's REALLY hard to resist, ya know!? But I shall attempt to stop...-sob- lmao

WARNING: I am feeling a little crazy, and very hyper – so if this is TOTALLY random and weird, sorry. Nah – just kidding, I'm not sorry! I love it! XD

Oh, and there may be some swear words, so those of you who don't approve of that, sorry, and you don't have to read it...

The Date Part Two – Want to dance?

Katlyn's POV

"Hey, Lissy – you know that cute guy I just served?" I said as I reached the kitchen.

My best friend turned around from doing the till, "The American one with the stroppy girlfriend?"

I laughed, "Yeah – well, he's doing all of this for her! It's her birthday."

Lissy sighed, "If only Pikey was that romantic." Charlie Pike was Lissy's boyfriend, whom she had met at a country fair (could you believe it!).

"Totally. Right, well – he says he sent a cake here earlier. It should be signed by him – Nick Ride."

"I wonder if he's got a sister called Maximum Ride.." Lissy laughed, "Ride, Ride, Ri- Nick Ride, here we go." She put a massive white cake box on the table top and pulled the lid off, allowing the sides of the box to fall down.

"Woah, that's some big cake." I whistled – it was a huge three tier chocolate cake.

"This dude must be loaded!"

"I'd love to have him as my boyfriend." I sighed.

"Yeah, well you don't, so get a move on." My boss, Emanuel Johnston (hey! I just made that name up! Cool! Lol), shouted from the doorway.

"Yes boss!" Lissy replied, "C'mon Kate, lets start cookin'."

Jocelyn's POV

I glanced at Max and Fang's table and grimaced.

"What's happening?" One of my companions asked me.

"She's glaring at him – I think the Voice pissed her off a bit..."

"Hmm...what about Fang?" Asked another companion.

"He's confused, he doesn't know why she's behaving like this, but he isn't retaliating."

"That's good, then." Said my third companion.

"Well, yeah. But she's still in a bit of a mood, this is meant to be romantic, Tess."

"Yeah, I know that, but at least he isn't reacting, right PJ?"

"She's right Skye, though I have to admit, she does need to cool down a bit...I know!" Pandora ran to the band and whispered something to the composer, who nodded vigorously. Pandora smiled, said thankyou and skipped back to our table. We all stared at her.

"What did you say?" Skye asked.

"I asked him to play Scent Of A Woman." She replied matter-a-factly.

Tess raised an eyebrow and went, "Huh?"

"Isn't that the tango song off that film with Arnold Swarchenegger (I can't believe it! I actually spelt that right first try:O Go me!)?" I asked.

Both Pandora and Skye nodded in reply.

"Hi, I heard you call m- what's she doing here?" Angel had come up to the table after I had asked Skye to call her telepathically.

"Please, Ange – we're all keeping an eye out, for Max and Fang – but we need you to help us, mind control, type thing. Please?" Skye pleaded.

"Please, Jocelyn isn't a bad person! She was forced to do all that stuff." Pandora said, Tessa nodded behind her.

Angel sighed, "Okay, whaddaya want me to do?"

Max's POV (Tohru, this is your idea coming up!)

I was trying to calm myself down by listening to the soft music playing in the background.

"Are you okay, Max?" Fang asked.

I sighed, I couldn't keep silent for the rest of my birthday date, and anyway – it wasn't his fault he was so hot, (you got that right!) "Yeah, sorry about earlier..."

His tense face relaxed and he smiled at me, "No prob."

The music changed into a tango, "Care to dance?" Fang asked, standing at the side of the table, holding his arm out for me to take it.

I had a sudden need to tango, "Sure." I grinned, taking his arm, he walked me to the empty dance floor.

I wonder if Angel's around here somewhere...nah.

I heard a small giggle from the back of the room, the rest of the restaurant was silent.

And we began dancing.

Random Person's POV

A young couple walked onto the dance floor when Scent Of A Woman started to play – a handsome young man dressed all in black and a beautiful young woman dressed all in white, they looked like Ying and Yang.

Everyone in the room were watching, entranced, as the two tangoed around the dance floor – they glided as if they were on air.

The look they gave each other was so full of love that it felt rude to watch.

"Beautiful, aren't they?" A golden haired girl whispered, making me jump slightly.

I smiled, "Yes, do you know them?"

"Yes, they both help to take care of me with her mother." She whispered, pointing to the girl in white on the dance floor.

I returned, once again, to studying the graceful movements of the couple, mesmerized.

The song slowly ended, and everyone applauded the dancers, who blushed a deep shade of scarlet.

I looked around for the blonde girl, but she had disappeared.

They walked, still blushing, from the dance floor.

Max's POV

"I hadn't realised that everyone was watching!" I breathed as we were walking back to our table.

Fang chuckled, "Neither did I...I didn't know you could dance."

I sat down gratefully and found that our meals had been served whilst we were dancing.

"I didn't know that you could, either."

Romeo and Juliet's Love Theme had begun to play, the beautiful piano notes twirling through the air, creating a sense of calm and tranquillity.

"Must have been something natural, then." Fang shrugged and popped a chunk of meat into his mouth.

"Mmm hm...this lasagne is delicious."

"Sure it's big enough?" Fang asked sceptically.

I laughed, "Hope so."

Jocelyn's POV

"Woah." I sat back on my chair after watching Fang and Max dance, taking a gulp of my orange and mango J2O.

"Yeah, they were beautiful." Pandora breathed.

"Amazing." Skye whispered.

"They were so graceful." Tessa added.

None of us were able to talk above a whisper.

Angel came skipping to the table, sat down on Pandora's lap and sipped her coke, "Everyone thought they were brilliant! I can't believe they knew how to dance! The never told us, never even thought of it! It was like they just knew how to do it!"

The four of them spoke rapidly about Fang and Max's dance whilst I kept my eye on their table.

"Be right back." I murmured, getting up from the table and walking towards the kitchens.

"Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt and all, but I need you to give this to the girl at table eleven? The 'Stroppy Girlfriend', as I recall you calling her?"

One of the girls blushed, "I-uh-well..."

"Y-yeah, sure." The one who had served Fang and Max took the small box out of my hands.

"Thanks." I smiled sweetly and turned on my heel, making my way back to Tess, Pandora, Skye and Angel.

Fang's POV

I couldn't understand Max's expression when she came back from the bathroom. I hoped her bad mood would end soon, I thought about what her reaction would be when they bought out the cake.

But all those thoughts passed when I asked her to dance. I couldn't believe that we could dance, let alone tango!

She looked happier now, more at peace.

The waitress, Katlyn, came to our table, "Have you finished? Your dancing was amazing by the way, where did you learn?" She was staring at me, her back turned on Max.

"Ahem." Max cleared her throat.

The waitress turned with a roll of her eyes towards Max.

"Yes. We have finished, thankyou."

"Right, okay." Katlyn picked up our empty plates and went back to the kitchen.

Time for the cake...

Ugh, sorry guys, I ran out of imagination!

I suck at this. Stupid brain.

-sigh- Well, I guess I should say, what do you think?

So...What do you think?

I'll update as soon as I can think of something else.

I had a review on the MR forum, telling me Max should kill Katlyn. He he he

Well, I need some ice-cream – Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough here I come!
