"We have dates tonight," said Isabelle in slow motion.

"I now what you said! Who are the boys!" said Mariah.

"Who said they were boys? I'm kidding!! It's Ray and ... some other guy," said Isabelle.

"What Ray! He's going with you right?" asked Mariah.

"No! I'm not selfish! He's for you! That's why I said yes to that guy! You have to go!" said
Isabelle as she put her hands together in a praying form.

"Fine, I will," said Mariah hiding her interest.

"Yay! Thanks!" said Isabelle hugging her best friend.

"But I'm gonna get off work early today," said Mariah.

"What you can't do that!" said Isabelle.

p"Yes I can the manager said because I told her I had a slight headache," said Mariah
walking out of the doors and out the exit. Isabelle followed her.

"Is it because of you-know-who {A/N: meaning Ray}?" asked Isabelle.

"No," lied Mariah.

"CHICKEN!" shouted Isabelle. Everyone looked and her.

"Er, don't for get the chicken," said Isabelle trying to cover up her mistake.

Everyone went back to his or her plates. Isabelle continues on with her job. She looked at the
clock and sighed she had another three hours left.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* MARIAH*~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

She was walking down the street. 'Why was I so scared facing Ray?' thought Mariah.

Mariah took the bus back to her apartment. She thought a while. She finally got to her
apartment she dropped herself on the couch and sighed. She took the remote
(which was on the coffee table in front of the couch) and turned on the TV she put
her legs on the coffee table for comfort. There was a soap opera on.

"Ugh! I hate these stupid shows!" said Mariah she went through every channel and
there was nothing good to watch she shut off the TV and decided to have a shower
instead.

She went to her room and took her Boom Box and some CD's and walked
into the bathroom. She usually listened to music when she took showers.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~* MAX AND RAY *~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

"Max your crazy you know," said Ray.

"Why?" asked Max.

"Because you don't know her at all! She could be a thief or a murderer," said Ray.

"For you information I'm not a thief and if I were I'd be stealing not working! And
I have never killed anyone in my life!" said Isabelle with a frown.

"Sorry," said Ray.

"Since you both finished you meals you can leave with out paying since I promised it,"
said Isabelle.

Ray nodded and smiled. "Thanks," said Ray walking out of the restaurant.

"I'll see you tonight," said Max with a smile. "Here's you tip," said Max with another smile
as he handed her fifty pounds {A/N: remember there in England ^_^}.

"I can't take it you have it back," said Isabelle.

"Nope you have it, I want you to, I'll pick you up at eight tonight" said Max with a smile
trying to change the subject.

"Okay but you should have th-"

"Please have it think of it as a gift," grinned Max. " Good Bye, See you tonight," said Max
kindly. He then began walking his way to the exit.

Isabelle sighed.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~* MARIAH *~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Mariah had finished her shower about three hours ago. She was once again sitting
on the couch in front of the TV flipping through the channels. She looked at the clock
and it read 3:34 PM.

'Isa will be here soon,' said Mariah in her mind. She kept flipping through the
channels and found nothing.

The door opened. "I'm here you chicken!" said Isabelle.

"Hi Isa," said Mariah blankly flipping through the channels.

Isabelle walked in front of the TV and shut it off.

"Forget TV let's go shopping for tonight!" said Isabelle happily.

"You can be a ditz at times but I have nothing better to do," said Mariah lazily.

"Oh Mariah this is Ray! You haven't seen him for how long? About four years! And your
seeing each other again!" said Isabelle.

"Oh my god! What will he think of my hair it's not pink but dark red!" said Mariah.

"Just tell him it's your natural colour it is natural looking and it doesn't look like it's been
dyed it's looks like it's your real colour," said Isabelle with a smile.

"Ok, then let's go shopping!" said an excited Mariah.

"Let me change out of my uniform first!" said Isabelle walking into her room.

Isabelle came out from her room about seven minutes later and Mariah was ready.

"You seem anxious," said Isabelle while putting on her shoes.

"Well I haven't seem him in a long time," answered Mariah.

"Ok, anyways let's go!" said Isabelle excitedly. Mariah nodded and they left their
apartment.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~* RAY AND MAX *~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Ray and Max where at their town house they shared it with Tyson also. He was in his
room studying. While Max and Ray were playing video games.

"Max where are we going tonight?" asked Ray.

"At a dance club, but she seems Spanish so maybe a salsa dance club?" answered Max.

"Max do you even know how to dance salsa?" asked Ray.

"Yes I know how to dance, why would I suggest it?" replied Max.

"Makes sense, but what if the girl I have is totally annoying and steps on my feet?" said Ray.

"Stop thinking about how bad it could be and be positive! What if you like the girl a lot!" said
Max in his usual hopeful tone.

"Yeah I guess," said Ray lazily.

Max sighed. "Hey I BEAT YOU!" said Max happily that he won against Ray in the game they
were playing.

They heard a door open and Tyson shouted. "GUYS SHUT UP! I NEED TO STUDY!!"
And he slammed the door shut.

"Man he's such a grouch!" grunted Ray.

*~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

About four hours and thirty minutes have passed by Mariah and Isabelle were
getting dressing up, applying make-up and styling their hair for their date.

Ray and Max were also getting ready they shaving and putting their suits on.

Max and Ray were ready, as they were about to leave. Max shouted.

"SEE YOU LATER TYSON!!" really loud knowing it would disturb Tyson and he shut the door
and chuckled.

"Max you act like a little kid at times," said Ray with a sigh.

Ray got into his car and Max got into his own car and they drove to Mariah and Isabelle's
apartment building.

Mean while Mariah and Isabelle were fussing with their make-up well mainly Mariah.

"How do I look," asked Mariah in a panic.

"You look fine now quit fussing!" said Isabelle.

Mariah was wearing a black dress with a red rose pattern the dress was a bit sparkly
but it didn't ruin the look on the dress. The dress went to Mariah's knees the dress had a
nice stylish cut. The dress was simple and classy a perfect dress. And to finish the touch
she wore black sandals to go with a dress.

Isabelle was wearing a silk dress which also went to her knees the colour was a red
wine. Mariah suggested the dress for her.

There was a knock at the door.

"Holy crap there here!" said Mariah nervously.

"Chill out! It will go fine!" said Isabelle as she opened the door.

"Hi!" said Max with a smile. Ray had his eyes wide open.

"Mariah?" said Ray. Mariah nodded. They both walked towards each other and gave
each other a tight hug.

Max and Isabelle walk out the door to his car not wanting to disturb Ray and Mariah.

Ray and Mariah let go of each other's embrace. And also walked out the door. Mariah
locked the door and walked with Ray to the parking lot.

"You actually have your own car?" asked Mariah.

"Yeah," answered Ray.

"Isa and I don't have a car we take the bus everywhere," said Mariah.

Ray opened the car door for Mariah and she got in. Ray walked to the other side and
got in his seat. He began to drive.

"So Mariah I noticed your hair is that you natural colour?" asked Ray.

"No I dyed it, you like?" asked Mariah.

"Yeah it looks really good," answered Ray with a smile.

"I see that you don't wear a head band and you cut your hair," said Mariah. {A/N: His
hair is still the same style but he doesn't wear the headband and he cut of the ponytail
thingy}.

"Yeah I thought the head band thing was out and I'm not the cute kid I used to be
anymore," said Ray with a laugh.

Mariah smiled. 'No Ray your still cute- wait Mariah he's a FRIEND! F-R-I-E-N-D!' said
Mariah in her mind. But why was she fighting about what she thought about him?
She was fussing about what he would think of her. Well though he was grown up he
was still the same right?
