Hey there! It's Ajluv! Apologies to Abby. This took a while. Also, a warning to readers, drama. Enjoy, she said, beckoning them to Peddie doo-drama.

He loves every precious moment spent with her.

It should have been a fun evening.

Ben was in from his school on the coast, on a surprise visit. He introduced himself in a very interesting fashion. He had jumped out of a closet at his girlfriend, Anna Bliss, while she was walking down a school hallway with Eddie and Patricia.

She had immediately punched him (accidentally, she claimed) in the nose, realized who it was, then jumped on him.

They spent their first date in six months in the hospital, double-dating with Patricia and Eddie. Eddie had unfortunately fainted from the mini-massacre, causing quite the turmoil in Mr. Sweet's office.

Anyway, fainting and taped up noses aside, both couples, (or rather Anna and Patricia, when their men were indisposed) decided that a redo of the double was in order.

So that's how they found themselves in Eddie's rusty red truck driving to a restaurant with food they all hated, but with the only choices they could agree on.

Eddie was driving, which was not a good thing to say to people in the backseat. The passengers of the car never stopped clutching their seat belts.

Patricia had a low tolerance for bad driving, which was another reason of conflict with her mother. Besides, she was the outspoken one, and Anna and Ben were too busy hugging each other for dear life to stand up to Mr. Swervy Hands.

"For the LOVE of GOD" she hissed through clenched teeth, as they rounded yet another corner on two wheels. "SLOW DOWN!"

Eddie frowned at her.

"I'm driving perfectly fine!" Anna shook her head, looking green.

Patricia rolled her eyes at him, just as a particularly sharp burst of speed caused Ben to bang his head on the window.

"Ouch."

That was the last straw.

"THAT IS IT!" Patricia thundered. "YOU'RE GOING TO GET US ALL KILLED!"

Eddie blew up as well.

"STOP SCREAMING AT ME! YOU ALWAYS OVERREACT AND MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT!"

Patricia opened her mouth, ready to fire back when Eddie decided to mutter.

"You're more like your mother then you think."

She turned, red faced and close to tears toward the window. Eddie glanced over, realizing what he had done.

"Hey, I'm-" Suddenly, in a whirl of honking, swerving, and cursing,the truck was wrenched side to side and finally deposited by the road, thankfully with no major damage.

Patricia slowly took her hands off of her eyes and turned to see Eddie looking at her.

They embraced tightly, tears trickling from both eyes at the near-tragedy.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry too!"

"I love you!"

"I love you too."
