Disclaimer: Own nothing but Gabby and Friends.

Chapter 4-

"Hey guys." Gabby says sitting down at the lunch table.

"Long week?" Jake asked looking slightly amused.

"Oh my god, yes! Thank god its Friday." she responded looking exhausted.

On Monday after school Liz offered to hire her as a part time waitress, during the week. This way she would have money to spend on the weekends. She said yes and Liz started training her right away.

"Gabs, hello, Gabby?" Ree said waving her hands in front of her face.

"Huh?" she asked looking at Ree.

"I said, what are you doing this weekend?" she asked smiling.

"Well, tonight Dan and I are having a date. But other than that nothing. You wanna hang out Saturday night?" Gabby asked eating her lunch.

"Yeah, a couple of us were thinking of going to this club a couple of towns over. You in?" she asked.

"Hmm, sounds interesting. But Michael would never let me go." I said swallowing my food.

"Michael wouldn't let you go where?" a voice asked from behind me.

"Holy shit, Michael, Maria you scared the fucking hell out of me." I said turning around to face the happy couple.

"I wouldn't let you go where?" Michael asked again suspiciously.

"Oh, nowhere, so what's up?" I asked curious.

"Leave Saturday night free. We're having a family dinner." Maria said looking around at my friends.

I looked at Michael like what is she talking about.

"Hey don't look at me." he said.

"Izzy, Liz and I have decided that we are all going to have dinner together this weekend. We have all been kind of drifting apart lately." Maria said finally looking at me. "we didn't know what to call it, so we finally settled on 'family dinner'"

"Do I have to go?" I asked looking from Michael to Maria.

"Yes of course. Your part of us now." Maria said and then added "Why do you have other plans?"

"Well, I was invited to go this club." I said looking down.

"No." Michael said very bluntly.

"Oh come on. I know you don't want to go to this dinner thing either." I said pleading to him.

"No way, not going to happen. Your not going to skip out of dinner just to go to some club" he said firmly. I knew there was no way to change his mind. When Michael Guerin's mind is made up he doesn't change it. Except. I looked pleadingly to Maria but she just shook her head no.

"Oh, fine." I said turning to finish my lunch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, what time is your date?" Mary asked as I closed my locker. School was finally over and we were walking to the parking lot.

"He's coming at 6:30. You still coming to help?" I asked hopeful.

"Yea, I need to get ready too. I have a date of my own." she said. I looked at her, and then I punched her. "What the hell was that for?"

"Why didn't you tell me? Who?" I asked smiling.

"This kid Matt. He's in your bio class I think." she said stopping. "5ish I think. See you later." she called running to her sisters car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Mar. Come in." I called from the kitchen.

"Hey Gabs. Hey Michael Hey Maria." she said walking through the living room.

"Hey Mary." Maria said. "what's with all the stuff?" she asked pointing to Mary's make up bags.

"My make up. Gabby and I have a dates tonight." she said finally sitting at a chair in the living room.

"What?" Isabel asked walking into the apartments. Followed by Alex, Max, and Liz.

"Hey Gabs, I guess you didn't tell anyone about tonight yet." Mary lowered her voice as I walking into the living room.

"What, oh, no, hadn't gotten a chance to." I said looking at Michael.

"When were you going to get the chance?" he asked narrowing his eyes at me.

"Uh, I was thinking right before you left for work." I said suddenly feeling unsure of myself.

"What time?" he asked still looking at me. I hate it when he does that.

"6:30ish I guess. Come on Mary lets go to my room." I said.

"Sure, oh yeah, Gabby I might have forgot to mention that Matt is going to pick me up here." she said as we were walking into my room.

"What?" I asked getting off the chair to follow her.

"Well, my sister and her friends were home, and so were my parents. So I called and told him to come here. I have to say though that he is a little afraid of coming here. Come on, lets get ready." she said closing my door.

Mary and I worked for an hour to get ready. At 6 Michael called me into the living room.
"Yeah?" I asked. Everyone was still there of course. They can't find anywhere else to go?

"I'm leaving for work now. There all staying here until you leave and meet your date. What time are you coming home?"

"I have no idea." I said looking right at him. Two can play at this game.

"Well, I need to know." he said looking right back.

"11:30ish I guess, I don't know." I responded a little to harsh.

"Good I should be home by then." he said. "Have fun tonight. Not too much." he added as an afterthought walking out the door before I could respond.

I huffed my way back to my room.

"They are so alike." I heard Max say as I closed my door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's 6:30 now and I'm waiting for Dan to come. Mary left on her date about 10 minutes ago.
*Dingdong*

Isabel practically ran to the door. They all wanted to leave. Alex was taking Isabel to a concert and Max and Liz were going on another date. Claiming their taking it slow.

"Hello, you must be Dan." she said going into her Ice Princess mode.

"Hi, is Gabby here?" Dan asked looking uncomfortable.

"Hey Dan, This is Isabel, Max, Alex, and Liz." I said pointing to each person. "Guys this is Dan. There now you've met let's go."

"No Michael?" he asked looking hopeful.

"He's at work." I said. Dan looked relieved.

"You know he's going to meet Dan sooner or later." Alex said laughing.

"No he will not. Trust me. Well, we've got to go. I'll see you guys later." I said looking dead serious.

"Nice meeting you. Come again soon." Liz said smiling. She's always the nice one.

As we were walking to the car Dan said "You know, that one guy didn't say anything the whole time."

"Max, yeah, he wasn't there to talk. He was there to observe and report back to Michael. I lived with the guy for two weeks and I already know his tricks." I said getting into the car,

"I don't think I could ever meet Michael. I mean, no offense, the guy is just scary." he said shaking his chills off.

"Yeah, but I love the guy anyway." I said looking at Dan.

We drove to this restaurant outside of Roswell. I think that neither of us wanted to go anywhere near Crashdown. At the dinner we talked about nothing really in particular.

"What did that kiss mean Dan?" I asked him. I couldn't keep it bottled up inside of me anymore. I hate it when I do, and I hate it when I'm nervous so I just had to say it. I looked at him and he looked a little shocked that I had asked that so, well, bluntly.

"I, uh, I don't know. I mean it was a great kiss. I just don't know if you like me the way I like you." he said playing with his food.

"This is hard for me to say. I like you a lot. I mean more than I have ever liked anyone, so if you don't like me like that you better tell me now." I said looking at his face.

"I like you a lot, more than I have ever like any girl before. I just wasn't sure if you liked me back." he said looking up at me to.

"So, where does this leave us?" I asked.

"Where do you want it to leave us?" he asked. "Really, I mean I would like to go out with you a lot more. By ourselves."

"I would to." I said "does this mean that were going out?"

"I would like to go out, only if you do though." he said adding the last part quickly.

"So, were going out then?" I asked. I hope I don't look to hopeful and obvious.

"Yeah I guess so."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thanks for dinner. I had an awesome time." I said ad I smiled and looked up into his face.

"I had a good time to." he said leaning in for a kiss.

So, we made out for about 10 minutes, and this time the lights don't flicker at all. Then I looked at his watch and saw that it was like 5 to 12.

"I have to go." I said giving him a kiss.

"Michael home?" he asked with a mischievous grin on his face.

"Yes, he's home. And he's probably pissed I'm not home yet." I said looking at the door.

"Alright. I guess, I have to be home in like 5 minutes anyway." he said giving me one last kiss before he walked away.

I leaned against the door and watched him leave. I had to go inside, I was just really afraid of the wrath of Michael, so I took my time. I finally decided to go in. I walked in the door and looked around. Maria was making tea. Max and Liz were sitting on the couch listening to Michael's ranting and ravings. They all looked at me when they heard the door open.

"Where have you been?" Maria asked before Michael could yell and lose his temper.

"We lost track of time. I mean one minute its 9 and the next minute its 11." I said sitting on the couch.

"That's it? You lost track of time? That's all you can say. Jesus Christ Gabby, here we are sitting wondering the fuck you are thinking that something may have happened to you and your out having fun while . . . " Michael kept yelling. I curled up on the end of the couch. It was going to be a long night.

*Ring*Ring*

"Hello." Maria said into the phone. "umm, yeah one second please. Gabby it's Mary." she said handing me the phone.

Phone Convo-

"How'd it go? Am I talking to an attached girl?" she asked.

"Umm, yeah. But listen. I'll have to call you back tomorrow."

"What happened? Did Michael meet Dan?"

"Uh, No, I came home a little late."

"Oh, still yelling? My parents were pissed, I came home late to."

"Yeah, very pissed. I got to go."

"Good Luck. Bye!"

"Bye"

End Phone Convo.-

I hung up the phone and sat down on the couch again. "so, is there going to be some kind of punishment here or are you not done yet?"

"What do you think?" he asked glaring at me.

"Still haven't thought of one yet huh?" I asked with a small smile forming on my face.

"Hun, I suggest you shut up, now." Maria said. "Why don't you go to bed now."
