==Later That Night==

Raylan and Tyler walked Isabelle to Mario's Bread and Pasta at 7:30.

"You guys have my back, right? If he tries to do anything I don't want, you'll bust in, right?" Isabelle asked, somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, Isabelle. We're here for you. We promise. Raylan is pretty big and I'm not too bad, myself. We can cover for you." Tyler assured her. "Wait, hold on." Tyler said, pulling out fake diamond earrings.

"What are those?"

Tyler handed them to her. "These are small microphones and speakers that are disguised like earrings. This way, we can hear what's going on and tell you what to say."

She put them on. "Thanks, guys."

"You'll be fine. We're here for you if you need us. We'll be hiding in that bush over there." Raylan said, pointing to a nearby bush.

"Okay, if you say so..."

"Hey, smile. You look great in that outfit." Raylan smiled, talking specifically about her light-blue dress.

"Thanks, guys." she said, sighing.

Tyler and Raylan both scurried away when they was Eugene's car pull up in the parking lot.

Isabelle swallowed hard. I really hope this doesn't end up being such a disaster. she thought.

Eugene stepped out of his car and walked over to Isabelle. He tried wrapping his arm around hers but failed and ended up creating an awkward silence. "Hey, baby. I have lots planned for tonight." he said, winking with a creepy smile.

Isabelle swallowed again. She heard Raylan and Tyler laughing their asses off through the microphone and turned to the bush. She glared and shook her head, silencing them.

"So, shall we enter the castle?" Eugene said, making some weird face.

Isabelle widened her eyes and nodded. Eugene led her in and walked up to the waiter. "Table for two, my good padawan." he said.

Isabelle facepalmed.

"Right this way." the waiter led them, chuckling a bit.

Once they were seated, Eugene looked into her eyes. "You're so sexy."

Isabelle's eyes widened even more. She heard Raylan and Tyler laughing their asses off again through the microphone. She smacked her ear to create a loud slapping noise that would startle the both of them. They stopped laughing.

"What's the matter?" Eugene asked, talking specifically about her slapping her ear.

"Oh, nothing, there was just a mosquito buzzing around."

"So, what do you like to do for fun?" he asked, holding her hand.

She subtly let go a bit. "Well, I like to run. I'd say running is my hobby, I do it whenever I'm not doing anything interesting."

"Oh, that's cool. I do a lot of running in Magicka: Online."

"Huh?"

"You know, the cool online game that me and my bros play at school."

Raylan and Tyler started laughing again.

"Tell him you know what he's talking about." Tyler said through the mic.

"Oh yeah, I know that game." Isabelle said, listening to Tyler.

"Oh, you do? Well, I'm sure you'd be pretty impressed to find out that I'm a level 52 Necromancer. I just unlocked the Photon Saber last night and I've been using it ever since."

"Uhh..." she blanked out.

"Say you're a level 45 Pyromancer who uses the Dragon Sword." Tyler said through the mic.

"I'm a level 45 Pyromancer. Oh yeah, I use the Dragon Sword." she said, somewhat confused.

"Really? What Arcana modification do you have on the hilt?" Eugene asked, smiling.

"Say you have the Goldem Gem mod." Tyler said.

"Uhh...I have the Golden Gem mod." Isabelle repeated.

"You unlocked the Goldem Gem mod? But that requires completion of the Death to Darkman Quest! How did you manage to do it?"

"I just...did it..."

"Isabelle, say that you received assistance from the head Pyromancer." Tyler said.

"Well, I got some...I mean, received some assistance from the head Pyromancer..." Isabelle repeated.

"The head Pyromancer? Do you mean in your Player Clan or the CPU?" Eugene asked, widening his eyes. Isabelle could tell he was impressed.

"Uhh...the player one?" Isabelle responded, confused.

"Oh, that makes sense. That would explain how you were able to complete it at level 45. You see, I'm at level 52 but I haven't even started the quest, let alone even found the place where you start it. Good job!" he congratulated her. She shed an awkward smile.

The waiter came to their table. "What would you like to order?" he asked.

Eugene ordered first. "My padawan, I would like the Chicken Lasagna baked to perfection. I would also consider the consumption of one large Coke."

"Wow, rude guy. He should have let you order first." Raylan said through the mic.

"Yeah, Eugene never was my nicest friend. Let alone a good friend of mine at all." Tyler said.

The waiter chuckled at the way Eugene ordered.

Isabelle could tell he was judging them and she gave him a weird look, one that pleaded him to let her leave.

"Umm...just give me the Cheese Ravioli..." Isabelle ordered, rather softly. "Oh, can I have a water to drink, please?"

The waiter nodded. "I'll get your meals right away." he said before leaving the table.

Eugene tried to start a new conversation. "So, did you know I play lacrosse?" he said. He knew Isabelle was into sporty guys.

He didn't know, however, that Raylan could hear the conversation. "Oh really, Eugene? Then where are you when practice starts? And where were you at tryouts?" he said, rather sarcastically.

Isabelle chuckled at Eugene's lie. She had to go with what he said, though. "Oh, you play lacrosse?" she asked, trying to act impressed.

"Hell yeah I play. I'm the lead scorer on the team. I also have the most assists."

Raylan tried hard not to laugh, but couldn't hold back his chuckle. He knew what Eugene said wasn't true; Shane was the true lead scorer on the team. Not only that, Raylan was the one who had the most assists on the team.

"Oh, you're the lead scorer and assister on the team?" Isabelle asked chuckling a bit.

"Yeah. Listen, you used to have a thing for that Raylan kid, right?" he asked.

"Well...I guess so..."

"I'm way better than him at lacrosse. Have you seen one of the practices? I literally lay him down all the time. He looks pathetic!" Eugene laughed.

Isabelle's eyes widened. The fact that Eugene was lying was a lot, and now he was making fun of the man she loved? It was too much for her.

Raylan stopped laughing. It was all fun and games for the first few of Eugene's lies, but he had now taken it too far. "I don't care anymore, just ditch if you want to." Raylan said through the mic.

"Listen, Eugene, you're a great guy and all, but I know you're lying. You don't really play lacrosse, so why don't you just be honest with me?" Isabelle asked.

Eugene's face turned bright red with embarrassment. "I'm...uhh...sorry."

"Just forgive him for now, I'll deal with him later." Raylan said through the mic.

Isabelle nodded. "It's all right, Eugene."

"So, anyways, how about we talk about our plans for tonight?"

Isabelle gulped. "T-t-tonight?"

"Of course! I was thinking about going to my place to have some fun. You know, my parents aren't home and I get kinda bored alone..." he winked.

"Umm...I have...homework to do."

"It's all right! Besides, we're in high school. We're supposed to be having the best times of our lives! I promise you, we'll have fun doing...'you know what'."

Isabelle facepalmed. "No, thanks. I'm not really interested in that stuff at the moment."

Just then, there was a huge crash outside.

"Shit! Belle, we gotta go for now! Just abort the date!" Raylan screamed from the other side.

Isabelle and Eugene got up. "Shit! Uhh...I have to get home, quickly!" Isabelle cried out, trying to leave.

"That sounds like a good idea! I'll drive you!" Eugene replied.

"No, it's all right, I can run home." she said, running out of the restaurant with Eugene on her tail.

Raylan and Tyler stood up as they saw a shadow general.

"What the fuck, man? We were trying to make a date work out!" Raylan shouted.

The shadow general punched both Raylan and Tyler in the gut as he carried them off.
