Chapter 4! I'm really really super sorry about the wait! See, I have bronchitis, and that sucks, and I didn't get a chance to write. Yup, that's my excuse for everything. LOL anyways, I don't own any of these characters. Enjoy!

It was around 7:30 on a Thursday night. Elizabeth watched the snow fall from her bathroom window as she got ready for "the big date".

I don't even know WHY I'm doing this. I mean, Dinner with a Dead Doctor? It sounds like some cheesy horror movie. Besides, Roberts going to do something inappropriate tonight, I just know.

By 7:50, Amy, Ella's baby-sitter was there, and the two of them were out the door. They were almost to the restaurant when Elizabeth turned to him.

"Look, Robert, It's very nice that you're taking me out AS A FRIEND, please remember to keep it at that! I mean, I like you, but, not like that, OK?"

Robert looked at her.

"Lizzie, I'm hurt. Hurt and saddened. I'm your friend, don't you trust me?"

"I trust you'll remember I'm your friend."

They pulled in at Chez Fredrique and a valet took the car away. They were seated quickly, and given menus.

"Why hello, you wonderful people, may I take your orders?" the waitor asked. He turned to Robert and placed a hand on his knee. Robert glared at him. He removed it.

"My names Billie and I'll be you're helping hand tonight! So, what does the lovely man want tonight? What does his friend want, anything?"

Both Robert and Elizabeth stared at Billie.

"We haven't even opened the menus yet!" Robert cried.

"Right. Yes. Be back in a minute for ya!" Billie said with a wink. He walked away happily.

"Do you smell smoke?" He asked her.

"No, why?"

"'Cause he was flaming."

They were just talking when they heard it. A long screech, like someone was trying to pull the tail of a cat. They both saw him: a foreign man playing the violin (well, not playing it-killing it.) He was short, no more than 5 feet, and you could clearly see his undershirt underneath his shirt. Robert pulled the man over. He gave him a five dollar bill. "Play a little quieter, would ya?" The man stared at the money with glee in his eyes. He flashed Robert a toothy grin and played even louder.

"Excuse me, what did I just ask you?" Robert asked. The short man sensed his anger.

"Ohhh nooo…" he said, frightened.

"Don't be scared, just stop playing. That's all." Robert said. He gave Elizabeth a look of amusement. But the man just stood there.

"Ohhhh noooo! Ohhhh noooo!" he repeated over and over at the top of his lungs. Billie came prancing (yes, prancing) over. He looked at him and sighed.

"Don't you worry, sir. That's just Juan. He cries sometimes. He doesn't speak English except for Oh No. We only really keep him cuz he's eye candy."

Robert looked at Juan. He stopped yelling and continued to play. Robert and Elizabeth sighed and tried to talk over it.

"So how's the hospital?"

"Good…." Elizabeth saw the look in Roberts eyes.

"You miss operating, don't you?"

Robert was about to speak when he was interrupted by a rather loud, and long, "OHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO!" It seemed one of the strings on Juan's violin had broken. He could no longer play. They watched as Billie guided him into the kitchen, patting his back.

"So, you were saying?" she asked.

"Well, I-"

Robert was cut off. Elizabeth's pager was going off.

"It's an emergency. I have to go! I'm so sorry, Robert. I'll pay you for dinner. Thank you!" She said as she ran out in a hurry. But, she came back, and kissed his cheek.

Robert just sat there. Billie then emerged from the kitchen. He looked at him sadly and patted his shoulder.

"I know, I know. It was hard for me to come out to my mom, too."

Well, that's Chap. 4! I promise Chap. 5 will come sooner than this did!
