Chapter 4: The date?

Gregor's uncle walked into a gruesome sight. From all the way outside he could hear the screaming. As he walked in, the volume seemed to triple. He could see Gregor's parents, more like Gregor's mom, yelling at the top of her lungs. Gregor's dad just stood their calmly. They both seemed to not notice him walk in. He contemplated just leaving then alone but decided it was best to try and help.

"Hey" Gregor's uncle greeted

Both of Gregor's parents turned to look, they were suprised to have someone intervene.

"What's going on?" Gregor's uncle questioned.

"Grace here doesn't want to let Gregor go on a band trip to New York City." Gregor's dad answered.

"Why" he questioned.

Gregor's dad looked to Gregor's mother to answer.

"Because" she huffed definitely.

"When is it" Gregor's uncle asked.

"Next Friday to Sunday" Gregor's dad answered.

"I could go with him I always wanted to visit New York City anyway plus Gregor could show me around." Gregor's uncle suggested.

"I believe that would solve all of Grace's worries." Gregor's dad answered "as long as she agrees".

"No" Gregor's mother said wavering.

"Why" Gregor's uncle inquired.

Gregor's mom could never tell his uncle why so reluctantly she said "fine".

"Great I'm looking forward to it".

With that Gregor's uncle left the heated room.

Gregor's POV

Gregor was enjoying the ride to Emma's house, he loved driving it felt freeing. He pulled up into Emma's house at exactly 5:30. Perfect the arcade was about a half hour away.

Gregor got out fo the car and walked over to the front door. He lightly tapped against the cold dark wood. The door had a design resembling the architecture of Regalian buildings. How did he always manage to go back to the underland? He asked himself.

No he told him slef tonight is not going to be about the undeland. With that thought still in his mind Emma's mom opened the door.

"Hey Gregor" she greeted him.

"Hi" Gregor responded " I'm waiting for Emma we're going to the arcade tonight"

"That's right" she said "come in you know where her room is go see what she's doing she might be running late.

"Sure thing, thanks" Gregor replied politely.

Gregor headed up toward Emma's room while her mom closed the door behind him and left. Gregor rapped against the door softly waiting for a reply. None came so Gregor walked in to the room and to his surprise was greeted by nobody. where was she? He went and sat down on her chair on the right of the small passage leading from the door to the bedroom, so he couldn't see the door.

Her room was average size and had white walls with art all on it. Her closet was large and full of clothes. He never knew someone could own so many clothes. He sat and stared at the wall across from him with her table in front of him. She had a small cup full of pens and pencils and a stack of paper with a small lamp. She was an extremely neat person. He blanked out for a bit and just stared at the wall.

Without him noticing Emma walked in from a shower. She was wrapped in a towel, or so she was before she got in the room. She hung her towel on a towel rack as she got in and closed the door behind her. What was she gonna wear she wanted to look nice tonight for Gregor she had always had a crush on him and tonight would sort of be like a date. Although she felt bad she was happy Larry couldn't come. She walked into her bedroom and toward her closet but before she could get there she saw him sitting in her chair.

He was facing away from her so he hadn't noticed her yet.

"Umm Gregor don't turn ar…" Emma begin.

"What" Gregor asked as he turned around.

He saw her naked just standing there both in shock not moving. It stayed like this for a solid few seconds while both never know what to do. Gregor regained his composure and immediately turned around to face away. They were both blushing uncontrollably.

"I-I'm so s-sorry" Gregor stuttered " I should have not been in here"

"No it's fine it's my bad let me just get changed really quick" she replied embarrassed.

She disappeared into the closet and Gregor was left to himself.

I just saw her naked he thought to himself. Why did I not notice her come in, none of this would have happened. She wasn't bad looking, in fact she was one of the best looking in the school, but he just didn't like her. He hadn't liked anyone since he came back to the overlander. He was still attached to her he couldn't let go for some reason.

What just happened? Emma thought to herself. He had just seen her naked! How embarrassing! She thought about it and thought maybe it wasn't so bad. She was fairly good looking and had a good body so maybe he had noticed her, not that she wanted that type of stuff. He had stared for a while. Emma has a crush on him for a while now but never do anything about it because he never seemed to show interest in her. Now maybe he would she thought.

She chose a pair of skinny jeans and a black crop top with a zip at the back to wear, because she wanted to match with Gregor. She put her clothes on but couldn't get the zip. Embarrassed she walked out and asked Gregor if he could help her with it.

"Sure" he replied as he got up and walked over to her. He zipped it up and Emma turned around to face him.

"Sorry about earlier" he said shyly "let's just forget about it alright?"

"Sounds good" she chucked awkwardly.

They made there way downstairs.

"Bye Mom see you later" Emma called out.

"Bye, don't be too late" her mom replied.

They made their way toward the turck where Gregor opened the passenger door for her.

"For me" she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm "I thought I was driving " she joked.

Gregor chuckled, the ice between them was broken, they were too good of friends to have that come between them.

"I want to get there in one peice" he joked back.

"Very funny" she said wryly but a smile hinting on her face.

Gregor got in the driver's seat and started the car

They drove the half and hour to the arcade and parked in the back of the parking lot, as it was very full

"Might have parked half way across the country" Emma joked as she punched him in the arm.

"Well even you couldn't find any other parking spots so I don't know why your complaining" Gregor responded lightly.

They made there way to the front entrance and got to the front desk. Both of them took their wallets out but Gregor took her wallet so she couldn't pay.

"Hey that's not fair I can pay for myself" She protested.

"I know you can but it's my treat, your getting a free arcade night and your complaining?" Gregor joked.

"Fine" she huffed.

They got in and went in.

"So where do you want to start?" Emma questioned.

"I know follow me" Gregor responded as he started walking.

"Where?" she asked.

"You'll see" he responded, not slowing down.

"Wait up, where are we going?" she demanded.

"You'll find out when we get there" Gregor responded impatiently as he forged ahead and got out of sight.

"Uhhh Gregor! Where did you go?" Emma said frustrated.

Gregor grabbed her hand and caught her off guard.

"Hey!" she said in surprise.

Gregor pulled her along while she protested.

Finally they got to a quiet place and she broke free.

"Gregor wha.." Emma started.

"Surprise!" yelled Larry.

"What are you doing here?" Emma asked, very confused.

"I'm here to surprise you duhh" Larry responded as he made his way to Emma.

"I got you this" Larry said as he walked toward her and took a beautiful gold necklace.

"Wow I don't know what to say" she said, genuinely surprised

"A thank you would do" Larry said sarcastically.

"What is this for?" she wondered.

"Why can't I just do something nice for my friend?" Larry said acting offended.

"Thank you guys so much it's beautiful!" Emma exclaimed.

"Here let me put it on for you" Larry said as he went behind her and placed it on her neck and secured it.

"You guys are so amazing!" Emma said ecstatically.

Gregor walked over to the duo and started "Actually this was all Lar.."

He was stopped by a pair of arms squeezing the living day light out of him.

"Your acting was amazing I couldn't tell a thin how did you guys come up with it?" Emma questioned.

"Actually Larry told me after class about it, it was all his idea." Gregor pointed out.

Emma turned to Larry and gave him a small hug and said thanks, nothing compared to what she did with Gregor.

Larry was fuming that he wasn't getting as much credit as Gregor was even though he planned it all and got the necklace.

"It's also a good thing Larry wasn't there for what happened at my house" Emma added.

"What happened?" Larry demanded fuming.

"Don't worry about it" said Emma as both her and Gregor blushed immensely.

If Larry was mad then he was about to blow now.

"Gregor can I y'all to you for a sec?" Larry demanded more than asked.

"Sure" Gregor answered not sure what to expect.

"We'll be right back" Gregor told Emma as they walked a little way away.

"What was all that about?" Larry fumed.

"What was all what about?" Gregor said confused.

"That!" Larry said harshly.

"What?!" Gregor said growing impatient.

"You getting all the credit and the thing that happened at her house that I still don't know about!" Larry responded.

"Nothing I swear you know I didn't do that on purpose, I don't know why I got all the credit. And what happened before we just need to forget about, come on man you know I wouldn't do anything, I know you like her plus I'm not even interested in her!" Gregor responded suprised by his own outburst.

"Whatever" Larry huffed as he walked back to Emma.

Gregor thought about how Larry told him this morning after class that he liked her and was gonna surprise her. Gregor felt bad for him, he did so much but got such little credit. Gregor would try to make Emma see it was Larry because they were good friends although at the moment their friendship was strained.

Gregor mad his way back to them and they went out to play some games.

The beginning of the night Emma mostly talked to Gregor but Gregor slowly bought Larry into the conversation until it was mostly them two. The rest of the night was uneventful as they played a bunch of games, until Gregor saw something he didn't expect.

Was that a rat in a Virginia arcade? Staring at him. He thought he was seeing things but no it was definitely there, but for what reason he didn't know.
