Chapter Five...
They made their way out of the house and decided to walk to the theater, it being only a ten minute walk.
"So guys, what's been going on back home?" Sydney asked.
"Well, nothing really, it has sucked without you Syd," Francie said and Will added a "Uh huh."
"Yeah, its been really boring around without you guys, especially at the rotunda. No little flirty action to make fun of, nothing," Weiss said laughing. Francie decided she liked Eric because he seemed to be all for Sydney and Vaughn as well. She didn't know him very well, but from what she has seen, she wanted to get to know him better.
They reached the movie theater and decided to go see some Italian movie. Walking into the theater, they realized it was full so they would have to sit in the back. Sydney didn't mind this, she ended up sitting next to Vaughn who was at the end of the row. Throughout the movie, her arm which was on the armrest that joined their two seats got closer and closer to his until they were touching. He looked down at their two arms, and lightly placed his hand on hers. She then intertwined her fingers with his and they spent the rest of the movie like this.
When the movie ended, Sydney realized that she hadn't paid attention the entire time. She just hoped no one wanted to talk about it in detail.
"So, how did everyone like the movie?" Weiss asked.
"It was great," Sydney and Vaughn both responded at the same time, in the same dazed sort of way.
"Oh, great huh, so what happened in it?" he asked, smiling.
"Well, uh...." Sydney started.
"Yeah, um....," Vaughn continued.
"Hey why don't we get something to eat now, im starving," Francie cut in. Sydney gave her a thankful smile, but Weiss just laughed.
Since it was around dinner time they decided to go to a nicer restaurant then to the café. They were not dressed properly for that however, so they headed back towards the house to change. Once they were inside Francie asked, "So where are we going? What do I need to wear?"
Sydney looked at Vaughn, who took that as a sign for him to choose. "Well...I know this great restaurant downtown that is a little fancy, so I would say suits and dresses are necessary, is that cool with everyone?"
"Yeah that's great," Sydney said. Francie just nodded. Will looked sad though. "Will, what's wrong," Sydney asked.
"It's just, I look like a dork in suits." Everyone laughed at this, and Francie added, "No you don't, you look fine. Come on, let's go unpack a little.
"I'll call the place and set up a reservation for eight," Vaughn said.
They all went to their bedrooms, Weiss had taken the one next to where Jack was staying, and Will and Francie took the ones that were on the second floor.
There was a knock on Francie's door. "Francie?"
"Yeah Syd?"
"Hey, can you help me with something?" Sydney asked her friend.
"Sure Syd, what is it?" Francie asked.
"Well...um...could you help me pick out what to wear?" Sydney asked, blushing.
"Awww, you really like him don't you Syd?" Francie retorted. Sydney just turned more red at this comment.
"You do!" she squealed.
"Shhhhh, Francie do you want everyone to know?" Sydney asked.
Francie was laughing, "Sorry Syd, I see why though, he's sooo hot, plus, he seems really nice."
"He is, hot and nice, oh and so much more...I guess since you know now...well, during all of this, he has been the only one I could tell everything to. He was the only one who knew everything about me the whole time. I mean you were my best friend Francie, don't ever doubt that, but he was just so...I don't know how to explain it," Sydney finished smiling.
"I get it honey, and if I didn't know any better, I would say you were in love," Francie said smiling and walking towards Sydney's room upstairs.
"Love Francie!? I don't know about that, well...maybe," she replied. Francie just started jumping around like a crazy person and hugged Sydney. Sydney laughed, then turned serious. "Francie, I need to wear something great, help me!"
"Don't worry, when I'm done with you, he won't know what hit him," she replied.
They made their way out of the house and decided to walk to the theater, it being only a ten minute walk.
