For their date, Ronnie took Miranda downtown to 'The Dot', a popular dance club for Californian teens. Miranda was really into dancing and loud music, so she was completely content with the choice setting for their date.

When they arrived, Miranda smiled, grabbed Ronnie's hand, and shouted: "Let's dance!" over the deafening music.

Ronnie grinned and shook his head sheepishly.

"I can't," he said shyly, "I'm a lousy dancer."

Miranda felt slightly bummed for a second. Then she smiled, looked at him slyly and said: "Then come. I'll teach you."

Before Ronnie could refuse, Miranda pulled him into the crowd of bustling teenagers. She then took both his hands in hers and placed them around her waist; dancing flirtatiously with him afterwards.

"Just keep with the rhythm," she advised, whispering in his ea whilst moving her body to the beat.

As soon as Ronnie got the hang of it, he began to realize why Miranda loved the 'club scene' so much: It was fun!

After about forty-five minutes of dancing, they decided to head over to the lounge area for some drinks. Once they had ordered, Ronnie excused himself and headed to the restroom. While Miranda waited on both Ronnie and her drink, she heard a familiar male voice speaking behind her.

"I love you too Parker. You know that. Lizzie means nothing to me compared to you."

Miranda's eyes widened and she spun around to find Parker Mackenzie in Gordo's embrace.

"Gordo!?" Miranda spat out in disbelief, "What do you think you're doing?!"

Gordo's eyes widened as well when his eyes fell on Miranda. She quickly released Parker and dug his hands into his pockets.

"Um, Miranda." he began, "I was just um. just." He became lost for words.

Parker's eyes shifted back and forth between Gordo and Miranda; confused.

"Gordo, I can't believe you!" yelled Miranda, "How could you lie to Lizzie like this?!"

Gordo looked down at the ground shamefully.

Just then, Ronnie walked up and placed his arm around Miranda lovingly. "What's going on?" he asked.

Gordo's eyes mischievously lit up. "Well looks like I'm not the only one who hasn't been completely truthful with Lizzie, huh?"

Miranda inwardly cringed. He had her there.

Ronnie looked at all of them and raised an eyebrow. "How about we all step outside? Where it's quiet."

Parker looked at him and nodded. "Good idea," she agreed. They all headed for the exit.

When they where all outside, Ronnie laughed nervously and said: "Well, this is awkward, eh?"

"Very," agreed Gordo.

"How about we all make a pact?" suggested Miranda.

The others looked at her quizzically.

"Look," she continued, "it's obvious that none of us want Lizzie to know about what went on here tonight. So how about we pretend like nothing did? You know, keep it between the four of us?"

"I'm in," quipped Parker.

"Yeah, I think that's best for now," Ronnie chimed in.

"So we're all in agreement?" asked Miranda, eyeing Gordo and Parker carefully, "No one tells Lizzie?" They all nodded.

Miranda and Gordo breathed a sigh of relief.

Both couples headed back inside the club and tried to avoid each other for the rest of the night.
