"I can't believe she actually showed up." Jen said to Joey.
"Why wouldn't she?" Joey asked.
"Well I mean her "date" is in jail." Jason said.
"Funny, that's her date." Joey said pointing to Eli and Grace.
"What did she do pay him?" Jackie asked.
"No that's her boyfriend and he's not in high school."
"So what." Josh asked annoyed.
"So neither one of you could possibly say that you can get a guy who's that hot and out of high school." Joey said smiling and walked up to Grace and Eli.
The J group was left mad.
"Grace, Eli I'm glad to you came." Joey said.
"Thanks, so where's Jeremy?" Grace asked.
"Left him home; I just well I'm a little sick of having to live up to the whole perfect couple thing. You know?"
"Not entirely but if you're happy then that's good." Grace said.
"Hey can't I get in?" Riley asked smiling as she came up with her date.
"I'll go, have fun Grace." Joey said as she left.
"Who's this?" Grace asked.
"Drew." Riley said.
"Hi." Drew said.
"He doesn't talk much." Riley said. "Kind of like your date."
"That's not true." Eli said defensively.
"Sure, I'll leave you two alone." She said as she dragged Drew off.
"You have some very weird friends, Grace." Eli said.
"And a weird boyfriend but you don't hear me complaining." She said smiling.
"So when are we going to tell everyone?" Tiffany asked Jake.
"Well I want to wait till after Rick and Lily's party to tell everyone. I wouldn't want to take that away from them."
"I understand but I can't wait to tell everyone. How do you think everyone will react?"
"Well I hope everyone will be very happy for us but I can't promise that."
"It doesn't matter any way, just as long as we're both happy that's all that should matter."
"What do you think is up with those two?" Jan asked John.
"I don't know but they look really close, too close." John said.
"Do you think they are dating?" Janna asked.
"I wouldn't be shocked." Jaclyn said.
"Let's go find out." Joseph said as they walked over to Katie and Jessie.
"You two make such a cute couple." Jaclyn said smiling.
Jessie turned and smiled. "Thanks." She said as she looked back at Katie.
Janna laughed. "So it's true you two are dating?"
"Yes, we are. Have a problem with that?" Katie asked.
"Well yes actually I do and I'm probably not the only one." Janna said.
"Well get over it." Eli said as him and Grace came up.
Janna turned around shocked. "I don't really think this involves you."
"That's my sister you're talking to so yes it does involve me." Eli said nodding at Jessie.
"And this is suppose to mean something?" John asked.
"Yeah that you and your little group are going to walk away or going to be forced to walk away." Eli said.
"Oh I'm scared." John said laughing.
"You should be." Grace said speaking up.
"Look there's no reason for any fighting." Jessie said.
"You know how about you just shut up and talk to your girlfriend why I deal with your brother." John said.
"Leave her alone!" Eli said as he grabbed his arm.
"What's going on here?" A teacher asked as he came up.
"Nothing, we were all just talking. Right John?" Joey said as she came up.
"Yeah right." John said as he looked at the floor.
"There better not be any more problems tonight." The teacher said as he walked away.
"How about everyone get back to having a good evening." Joey suggested. "John go with Jan and leave everyone else alone."
"Fine whatever." John said as him Jan, Janna and Jaclyn walked off.
"Thanks, I think." Jessie said.
"No problem, they're jerks any way." Joey said as she started to walk off.
"You ok?" Eli asked Jessie.
"I'll be find I guess, thanks though." She said smiling.
"No problem." Eli said as he hugged her.
"How about let's leave these two lovebirds alone." Grace suggested.
"Will do." Eli said as Grace and him walked off.
"That was horrible." Katie said to Jessie.
"I know but let's try to forget it and just have a good evening." Jessie suggested.
"I like that idea." Katie said smiling.
"You ok?" Henry asked Karen.
"I'm fine, I just… I don't know it was just so sad to see how quickly those two have grown up."
"Well maybe that's a good thing. I mean look at who they have become. If I was you I'd be proud."
"I am, I really truly am." Karen said smiling.
"Good night." Jessie said to Katie as she gave her a kiss.
"Good night and I'm sorry." Katie said.
"For what?" Jessie asked.
"For what happened, I should have done something…"
"Look we knew it was going to happen and I don't mind any way, at least now there is nothing to hide anymore."
"Yeah that's good because I wanted everyone to know about you."
"Same here, and now that they do we can just be happy and not worry."
"Yes, that's a good thing."
"So are you coming with me tomorrow?" Judy asked.
"Yeah, but I want to leave early." Sam said.
"Why?"
"Because I want you just to myself tomorrow after the party that is."
"I like that idea." Judy said smiling.
"Does this night have to end?" Grace asked Eli as they came into her apartment.
"Sadly enough it does." He said as he closed the door. "So did you have a good night?"
"Yeah, it's one of the best nights I've had hands down." She said as she sat down on her bed.
Eli sat down next to her. "Me too."
"I really don't want you to leave. Can't you stay just for tonight?" Grace begged.
"Why?" He asked.
"Because if you leave then that would mean that this night would be over with. Plus I like the feeling of having you near me." She said smiling.
"Well I'll ask my mother, but I can't promise anything." He said.
"Good." She said smiling.
"They're all home." Rick said as he got into bed.
"Finally no more worrying." Lily said. "So did Eli leave yet?"
"No, but I don't think Grace really wants him to leave, she seemed very happy."
"She is, for the first time in her life I think she really is and I'm glad."
"Same here, I really think this is the first time all of our kids are actually happy."
"Yes, let's cherish the moment please." Lily begged.
"Will do."
