Okay, I'm so sorry that this took long to post, but I had exams! But now, in the words of Alice Copper (I think), "SCHOOLS OUT FOR THE SUMMER!"



"You WHAT?!" Nora exclaimed, eyes popping out of their sockets.
"I said yes," Amy answered.
"So, that's it! You're throwing away any chance you had with Matt for that SHMUCK?!"
"I'll have you know Robbie isn't a smuck! He's one of my friends, and it's just a date. It doesn't mean anything, just like if Matt EVER asked me out, it would just be a date."
"Right, and I'm the queen of England! Amy, what is wrong with you?!"
"Nothing! I'm just sick of waiting. If he likes me as much as you guys say he does, then why hasn't anything happened?" Amy snapped.
"Amy..."
"I'm sorry I snapped, Nora. But I'm just tired of waiting around. I like Matt, and you know that. But, I don't want to wait for him," Amy apoligized feeling bad. She hadn't meant to snap at Nora, but she got increasingly frustrated each day about Matt. So, she decided she would move on; it was his own fault right?
"That's okay. I guess we can't stop you going out with anyone, and who knows, maybe it'll make Matt jealous," Nora just smiled. This was the first thing that Amy thought about when Robbie asked her out. At first she was mad at herself for being so petty, and she realized that maybe it wasn't a bad thing. It might make him wake up. But then again, Robbie was a nice guy. He was one of the stagehands that worked for the WWF, and they had become fast friends when they first met. Amy wasn't all that attracted to him, but she wasn't the shallow type. "So when are you guys going out?"
"We haven't set a date, just because neither one of us knows the schedual all too well. But, we're going to talk about it."

Everything was going as planned, and Nora couldn't have been more excited. It took everything inside her to not giggle, or do something else that could potentially disrupt/destroy her plan. She had talked to Robbie, because she knew Amy was friends with him. Nora asked if he could go along with her plan, and he happily agreed; he was one of the Amy/Matt fans. It wasn't about the money for Nora, or any of the other guys, any more. They all just wanted to see their friends be happy with each other. The kind of happy that only the other could make them. It took a few days to formulate the plan, but Nora was so proud, she was bursting. It was hard keeping it from everybody, but it would be well worth it. The plan was to get Robbie to ask Amy out. They would set a date, and meet somewhere. Meanwhile, Nora would talk Matt into getting her some dinner since Chris would be conviently 'out.' At whatever restaurant Robbie said, Amy would be waiting for her date, that would ultimately stand her up. Coincidentally, Matt was sent to that very restaurant Amy was, and be Amy's saviour. 'Then they'll relize how they feel about each other, and get married, and have dozens and dozens of kids.... ' Nora giggled inwardly.
"Well, just let me know when you guys are going to go out."

"Matt, if I give you a hundred dollars, will you PLEASE just ask out Amy?" Jeff asked.
"WHAT?! Now you're going to bribe me to go out with her? A hundred dollars isn't worth the impending humilation," Matt rolled his eyes watching the television once more. The guys had become more aggressive, and less subtle about him asking Amy out. He was starting to get very annoyed, but he knew they were only looking out for his best interest. They just didn't realize what his best interests was. The truth was, Matt was scared. Scared of anything that could happen. Scared of rejection, and even scared of Amy saying yes. He had thought about it long and hard during a long road trip to the next city, and he was scared of what would happen if Amy said yes. He was afraid that if they actually went out, there was nothing there, and that everything he's ever thought could be untrue. He's scared that if they went out, he would fall madly in love with her, and things not working out. But mostly, scared that he would fall so love with her, he wouldn't know what to do with himself.
"Matt, why are you doing this to yourself? You know just as much as I do how she feels about you. She's nuts about you. Why can't you just make the first move? You know you'd be happy once it's been said and done, no matter the outcome. Besides, if you ask and she says no, which is highly doubtful, then you can move on! Stop wasting time, bro. You're getting old!" Jeff said.
"Jeff you just don't understand!"
"Understand what?! That you're so scared of what COULD happen, that you just don't frigging do it and see what WILL happen? I've never thought you'd be such a coward."
"I'm not a damn coward," Matt snapped.
"Then why not ask her?"
"Just drop it."
"No! I won't drop it until you give me a good reason to!"
"Because I'll kick your scrawny ass if you don't!"
"Matt, I'm picking up this phone and dialing Amy's number. And then, I'm going to throw the phone at you and run away."
"And what would that accomplish? I could just hang up."
"Then Amy will tell us about a weird phone call she got and I'll tell her exactly who it was."
"Jeff, just stop. I'm just not ready yet," Matt sighed frustrated.
"Fine, but don't say I didn't try."

"Hey, Amy!" Amy heard from behind. She turned around, and found Robbie running towards her. She smiled and he stopped a few feet in font of her. "Can we talk for a sec?"
"Sure!"
"About dinner. Are you going anywhere tonight?" Robbie asked.
"Nope."
"Then do you want to go out and just grab something to eat with me? Then we could, just, I don't know, chill?"
"Sure thing, Robbie. Just give me a time," Amy smiled trying not to look disappointed. She didn't feel like going out, but this was the only way she would stop thining about Matt.
"Why don't I meet you somewhere? I've got a billion things to do, and little time. Do you know Franny's Diner?"
"Yeah, I think I went there with Jeff last time we were here," Amy nodded.
"Okay. I'll meet you there at eight then," he smiled excited; little did she know why he was so excited.
"It's a date." And just as she said those words, Matt walked into earshot from around the corner. He stopped and looked at Amy before goign the other direction. "Shoot."
"What is it?" Robbie asked.
"Nothing. I'll meet you there at eight. I gotta get going, sorry Robbie," Amy ran off to get Matt.
