(The "Wonderful" Evening)

*September 25th, 1941*

*9:25 pm*

*Keen's English Chop House*

A few hours had passed as Anya and Robert were chatting amongst themselves while enjoying their meal in the beautiful chop house.

"This place is very beautiful, Thank you for taking me out…" Anya had thanked Robert as she was met with the young man smiling back at her comments as he began to speak.

"You're welcome, Cynthia, I know you've been busy with rehearsals and modeling lately but I'm hoping that we can spend more time together once tomorrow night ends since I was thinking that we could aim for something more romantic.." Robert had spoken back before sipping some wine from his cup as this caught Anya off guard.

"W-What?! Is he Cynthia's boyfriend?! She didn't even tell me about this! This is gonna be so odd since I'm sixteen and he's twenty-two!" Anya had thought to herself in such surprise before chucking at his comment before speaking once more.

"Oh, you are such a charm! I'll keep that in mind for future references but, what kind of romantic places were you having in mind…" Anya had asked Robert while sipping on some apple cider as she waited for an answer from the boy.

"Of course, I was just thinking of places that can truly reignite our spark such as walking the Golden Gate Bridge or maybe something more intimate between the two of us…" Robert had answered back while of course, still under the impression he was talking to Cynthia while Anya nodded her head in agreement.

"I see, that does sound quite romantic and we should do some of these things one of those days.." Anya had spoken out as she could feel herself blushing which caught her off guard as she harbored no feelings towards Robert nor any man that wasn't Calvin.

"Oh my god, I'm blushing. His comment about possible dating spots with Cynthia actually made me blush…" Anya had thought to herself as she could do nothing but smile at Robert's comment which also made him smile back as he gently held Anya's hand before giving it a gentle kiss.

"Whatever happens, just know that I'll always love you, no matter what. You are gonna do wonderful for the big event so sing as if you are singing to me, no! Sing as if your heart is reaching out to those that you truly love as well because, there is nothing stronger than singing for those whom you truly love, okay?" Robert had advised Anya in a more serious tone of voice as he was met with Anya smiling back while nodding her head in agreement.

"I-I will, I'll give you my word for it.." Anya had responded back in a motivated tone of voice while unknown to them, Judith and Neville were spying on them from the other side of the restaurant.

"So, It seems that Anya is having a gay ole time with Robert it seems and here I thought she was with Calvin or something" Neville had spoken to his cousin while chuckling to himself while Judith shocked her head before speaking once more.

"It wasn't like she and Calvin were together anyways, however, I personally don't care regardless but, I just wanna ruin Anya's life for the festival stuff and of course, taking Calvin away from me.." Judith had spoken back in her usual tone of voice as she sipped on some wine despite not being the age to drink it.

"So, how should we get this plan rolling? I still haven't thought of anything but I have faith that my good cousin probably already has like five plans brewing in her mind" Neville had asked Judith as he saw her smiling indicating that she had a plan in mind.

"So, I'll ask Anya questions that only Cynthia knows, right? Then your job is to somehow lure Cynthia out so that we can expose their little plan and once we do that, Anya will be in so much trouble while Cynthia's career could take a small nose dive but that's the price we're willing to pay of course…" Judith had answered back in a devious tone of voice as Neville simply nodded his head in support.

"Sounds like a plan, I'll find a way to lure Cynthia out so knock yourself out" Neville had spoken back as he had taken one final sip from his wine before getting up to leave the restaurant while Judith got up to approach Anya and Robert.

"Good Evening, Cynthia, It's quite an honor to see you here and of course I can't forget Robert…" Judith had spoken out with a smile on her face as she darted her eyes to see Anya having an annoyed look.

"You must be Judith, right? I'm good friends with your mother but I didn't expect to see her daughter here.." Anya had spoken out in hopes of concealing her true identity however Judith wasn't dumb since she saw right through it.

"Just cut the crap, Anya? I know it's you! You and Cynthia switched places because you wanted to be a little tramp, didn't you?!" Judith had spoken out in a rather upset tone of voice as Robert tried to defuse the situation.

"Okay, It's best to calm down, okay? I don't know who Anya is, however taking your anger out on my woman is not gonna solve things so please leave if you are willing to throw a tantrum, okay?" Robert had advised Judith in a calm tone of voice however, Judith ignored him as she continued to rant.

"Just be honest, Anya. Tell Robert who you truly are, you little tramp! First of all, You've taken my Calvin away from me and now you want to do the same to Cynthia, right? You are truly just like Clara Bow. a worthless tramp with little talent with most of it being able to score with a football team" Judith had spoken out to Anya in an angered tone of voice as she didn't expect this to happen since she only wanted to ask questions but nonetheless, she wanted Anya to fess up.

"You are wrong, Clara Bow is a wonderful person with so much talent and whatever she did with the football team was her business and hers alone! You have no right to say such awful things to her and going back to the other stuff and I don't care what you say about me but the one thing that will always piss me off is that fact that sad people like you are willing to insult the people that I admire and those I care about.." Anya had spoken back to Judith in a more angered tone of voice as this managed to catch the attention of one of the waiters.

"Excuse me, I'll have to ask you ladies to leave since you two are disturbing the peace.." The Waiter had advised to Anya and Judith as he waited for a response.

"No, if anything, this tramp right here should be kicked out because she's not who she seems! She is really Anya! She only looks like Cynthia is only due to their stupid appearences" Judith had spoken back to the Waiter while Robert was taken aback from the events unfolding as he could do nothing but getting to the bottom of this.

"Is this true, are you really Anya and not Cynthia? If so, please don't lie to me.." Robert had asked Anya in a sad tone of voice as he knew that everything was for nothing as he saw Anya nodding her head which made his heart skip a beat.

"Yes. I'm actually Anya Romanov and I'm sixteen years old but the reason we did this is so I could sing in her place, It's nothing too major or anything" Anya had answered back as she showed her neck to everyone as she removed the mark that was on her neck which surprised everyone including the Waiter.

"I see, I don't know if I should be mad at the fact that Cynthia avoided her duties or at you for lying to me, I'm leaving.." Robert had spoken in a upset tone of voice as he got up from his seat to leave while Judith watched everything with a smile on her face.

"That's what happens to tramps like you, You just get left behind. It's best to call your parents so they won't get worried, okay?" Judith advised to Anya as she saw her getting up before slapping Judith hard on the cheek which caused her to fall back.

"You are truly the worst.." Anya could only uttered before storming out to use the nearest phone booth while Judith got up with a smile on her face.

"I know, I know…" Judith had spoken in response to the comment as she eventually left the restaurant with such joy.

"These brats didn't pay for the bill…" The Waiter uttered out in defeat as he let out a huge sigh.

*Outside*

Anya was standing in the phone booth getting a stern lecture from her parents as she could do nothing but nod her head in understandment while waiting to get picked up which had taken twenty minutes.

*9:45pm*

Anya's parents had arrived with Cynthia as they had worried yet disappointed looks on their faces.

"You got some explaining to do but in the meantime, you are grounded for two weeks so no hanging out with friends and don't even think about homecoming!" Casey Newman had spoken to his daughter in a stern tone of voice as he motioned Anya to enter the vehicle as she walked past Cynthia who also had a look of disappointment.

"Do you have any way of getting back home or wherever you're staying? We could give you a ride there" Anastasia had offered Cynthia as she was met with the young woman shaking her head in declinement.

"No, I would honestly like to be alone right but thanks for the offer however, this is all my fault since I've talked her into this so I would like to apologize.." Cynthia had spoken out with tears on her face as she was quickly hugged by Anastasia.

"You're forgiven, I know we're being hard on Anya but she's our daughter and we love her so much as well" Anastasia had spoken back before releasing herself from the hug as she entered the car as Cynthia saw it drive away into the night.

"Judith, It had to be! I can't let her get away with this.." Cynthia had spoken out to herself as she wiped her tears before dialing Nancy's home number as she hoped that she'll answer and much to her luck, she did!

"Hello, who is this?" Nancy had spoken from the other line while waiting for an answer.

"It's me, Cynthia, It's a long story but Judith discovered my plan and now Anya is grounded for two weeks so, I was thinking about getting back at Judith and fixin this whole thing, are you in?..." Cynthia had asked her friend while letting out a smile as she had faith that things were gonna improve for everyone.
