Will and Grace's apartment 5:30 pm, Friday

Will burst through the door of the apartment he shared with Grace. He was huffing and puffing from running up the stairs. Why didn't I just take the elevator? he asked himself.

"Hey, Will!" Grace exclaimed, "wanna help me get ready for my date tonight?"

"Sorry, I have to get ready for mine," Will replied, "We're going to that Antonio's place."

"Cool. Same here," Grace mumbled.

"Who are you going with?" Will asked.

"This guy I met. His name's Fox," Grace retorted.

"Uh-huh. Is he hot?" Will inquired.

"Yeah. Why all the questions? Can't a girl go out on a date without a gay man pestering her? Who are you going with, anyway?" Grace snapped.

"This guy I met on the net. John. He sounds cool, but he's not as cool as Matt," Will said.

"Who the hell is Matt?" Grace cried.

"He's Jack's new guy. He's also going to Antonio's tonight. Double date," Will explained.

"Right. You know, Karen's gonna be there, too," Grace said.

"Gees! Next time I'm going to stay at home with a pizza," Will groaned.

"Yeah. Really," Grace replied and went to her room to change into her dress. In only two hours she, Fox, Will, Jack, Karen, Walt, John, Scully and Matt would be at the restaurant and there, they would meet new accomplices and friends that would change their lives for the rest of this story.
