Andrea spent a lot of time with Richie. She had eventually gotten back to regular routine of things. She worked out with Richie and they grew closer then they ever had been before. Though they knew that Immortals still were a problem they didn't let that get in the way. Duncan was glad to see them so happy and together once again.
"Hey Andrea." said Richie one day walking into the loft
"Yeah Rich." said Andrea
"Would you mind going with me to dinner tonight?"
"I would love to. Is there a catch?" she said know full well there most likely would be
"Yeah I got set up with a double date and I kind of told them that well I had a date." said Richie
"Richie you know you've really got a knack for getting yourself into trouble." said Andrea smiling at him
"There is one thing else that I forgot to mention. It's a formal dinner and well I don't have a tux to wear."
"Richie, go rent one. I swear you are worse then when you left." she said behind her book
"Andrea I don't have any money." he said with a hopeful, but sad tone
"Get a job." she said Andrea smiling and half laughing at him. He'd would have money if he'd stayed and worked in the dojo.
"Andrea, come on please just loan me the money." he said with the "puppy dog" face
"Richie I swear you are too much sometimes." she said handing him her credit card. She somewhat hesitated in giving it to him, but then again she'd trust him better then Amanda any day.
"I love you." he said giving her a kiss
"Well, now we have one other complication. We have to match so I have to find a dress to wear and you have to get the tux to match my dress." said Andrea
"That shouldn't be too hard." he said
"You go pick out the tux because I know that I can find a dress to match It." said Andrea
"Alright whatever you wish." he said giving her a kiss and leaving
Andrea hated blind dates and especially the double ones. She usually ended up knowing the other person's date. She would have said no, but how many times had she asked Richie to help her out. Besides it's not like she has that many exes out there to run into.
"Hey Andrea." said Duncan walking in with his briefcase in hand. He sensed something in the air. He decided that Andrea had plans.
"What's going on?" said Duncan grabbing a water from the fridge and sitting down next to her on the couch
"Not much I've got a date tonight." she said reading the book
"Sounds fun do I know the guy?" he said pulling the book cover up so he could see what she was so intent to read.
"Yeah he actually is very close to us."
"That's nice." he said with the ever hurtful voice he used to get moe information out of her
"Dad Richie invited me on a double date." said Andrea rolling her eyes at him
Duncan tried not to laugh, but he couldn't help it. Andrea couldn't believe her father thought her dating was funny. She'd never done this to her father when he'd started dating again, but then again she was going on a date with Richie which usually ended in turmoil of some sort. Andrea just shrugged it off.
"Sweetheart do you really feel ready?" he asked more serious
"Dad it's not really a date it's Richie and I getting together with his friends." said Andrea
"True, so where are you going?" he said thinking of what Richie would suggest. Burgers and the video arcade.
"I'm not sure, but somewhere special if Richie is renting a tux." said Andrea
"Richie is renting a tux?" said Duncan surprised
"Yeah." she said know that this conversation would end in nothing good.
"You nervous?" said Mac
"Well not really since I really don't have that many ex- boyfriends left to meet." she said smiling at him evil like
"I'm not sure that Richie can say the same thing of the women he's dated." said Duncan
"Don't you have something to do?" she said knowing that he was going to try and make this into a something it needn't be.
"Sweetheart I'm sorry." he said giving her a kiss
"What are you planning?" said Andrea
"I might go see Joe and there is some sort of film festival going on." said Duncan
"Have fun." said Andrea getting up
"Andrea hey." he said grabbing her arm gently and pulling her back
"Dad I have to go get ready." she said leaning her head back
"I love you." he said
"I love you too ye big oaf." she teased giving him a kiss
"Andrea don't forget crew few is at12." said Duncan
"Yeah and I promise not to drink too much." she called back shutting the door before he could answer. Duncan sat up feeling an immortal though. He figured it might be Richie, but thought again.
"Hey I've got the beer." said Adam
"Don't you have your own place to go trash?" said Duncan
"Yeah, but I find yours so much easier since it's clean to begin with." he said setting the beer in the fridge and opening one for himself.
"You are going to float a way one of these times." mumbled Duncan
'What was that?" he said
"I said we should try to get a different kind one of these times."
"I've lived long enough to know what beer is good for what occasions." said Methos
"Hey Methos." said Andrea walking out with her hair all done up. She had her make up on and bathrobe.
"What's going on?" said Methos
"I'm going on a double date with Richie." she said knowing that she'd regret that statement.
"Really who's your date?" said Methos
"Richie." she said eyeing her father and daring him to say one word
"Oh sounds fun. Where is dinner?"
"Why do I get the feeling I've had this whole conversation before?"
"What? Can't I ask a question?" said Methos in protest
"I don't know where we are going and that is all I am saying on this subject. Is that our beer?" said Andrea seeing the bottle
"I bought it." said Methos
"That's what I thought." said Andrea grabbing an apple and going back into the bathroom
"You'd think she was you kid?" said Methos sitting down
"I'm glad she isn't yours." said Duncan
"What was that? Who took care of her while you were off gallivanting around the hillsides?" said Methos
"I was not gallivanting." said Duncan
"Well you were doing something other then being here." said Methos
"Yeah and I should have never left. You let her throw a party and she had guys all over the place." said Duncan
"Hey she said that you said that she could a have a few friends over."
"God I hope you never have children." he said rolling his eyes
"Besides we cleaned it up."
"That's not the point those were 14 year old boys. You'd think with all that knowledge in your head you'd of figured what was wrong in letting them in." said Duncan
"Hey you two bickering babbling old guys." said Andrea in the room
"Wow sweetheart you look amazing." said Duncan seeing her in the dress.
"Thanks. Can you please mange not to bicker and fight over me while I'm gone?" said Andrea
"Yeah we can handle that." said Duncan
"Yeah I know you can't." said Andrea she shot back
"Andrea would you please tell your father what happened at your illegal party?" said Methos
"Nothing because you kept ruining it with your stupid games and I swear that I'm being raised by dumb and dumber sometimes." she sighed
"Hey watch it." said Duncan
"Just do me a favor and kick him out before I get back. I think he's a bad influence on you." said Andrea to her father
"Hey now watch who your talking to and forget that little request you made." he hinted
"You mean that little request to get that tattoo? I already did that one last week. I'm going downstairs to wait for Richie can I trust you two to behave?"
"Yes dear." said Duncan
"Bye and don't you dare call me." she said getting on the elevator
