Chapter 39:

Sam had taken everybody to Charcoal Pitt for food. It was a diner that was close to her house, and close to the school, so there was usually a familiar face there. But tonight there were no familiar faces there. "Perfect." Sam said to herself. There would be no one there to inturupt them as they ate. They walked up to the hostess's podium and a woman walked up to them wearing an apron that said Charcoal Pitt on it.

"Hello. How many?" She asked.

Sam turned around and counted how many people were there. "Nine." Sam told her.

"OK. Follow me." The hostess said as she led the group to a table that was large enough to seat everybody. Then the hostess pulled out a pen a pad. "Can I get you all something to drink?" She asked.

"Actually, we'll just go straight to the ice cream, please." Sam said. "Can we have two Buccaneer Sundays please?" Sam asked, then she looked around at the table. "On second thought, make it three please." She ordered.

"OK. I'll be right back." The hostess replied before she walked away.

"Why did you order for all of us?" Eric asked.

"Because I can." Sam replied.

"What's wrong with what she ordered?" Sarah asked. "I like Buccaneer Sundays."

"Whatever." Eric replied.

"Umm... I have one question." Kagome said as she looked at Sam. "Won't Jacob get angry that we left him at the mall?"

"Yeah. But he'll cool off after a bit. I mean, he had to get a tux anyway. And don't worry. Benji and Matt will keep him busy. We have a code. Remember when I said that the tux and tie should be red and green?" Sam asked with a smile. "Yeah well, that's a code. If I ever tell those to red and green, it means to hold them for three hours, blue and orange means two hours, and yellow and purple means one hour. But if I give them the actual colors of the outfit, then they know not to hold him." Sam said with a bit of laughter. "And if Jacob wants to go to the prom with me bad enough, he'll stay until they fit him for a tux."

"That's a good point." Miroku said. "How did you come up with this code?"

"Well, Benji, Matt, and I all met when I went to summer camp. They were counselors there, and I started talking to them. They soon told me about the tux rental shop they owned, and I told them that I was going into highschool and usually had annoying guys asking me out. So they told me whenever I wanted to get red of a guy, then they would be more than happy to help me loose them. So we developed our color code, and I just take every guy I wanna ditch there." Sam explained.

"Wow." Was all Inuyasha could say. "You like to talk a lot don't you?"

"Is it that obvious?" Sam asked as she leaned towardsInuyasha. She was acgting a bit like Faye from Cowboy Bebop. Kind of flirtatious and charming. She kind of sounded a bit drunk at the same time though.

"Sam! Please don't get weird acting on us now!" Sarah exclaimed.

"What?" Sam asked. "I'm just being friendly like usual."

Sarah heaved a sigh. "Whatever."

"What did you order for us exactly?" Koga asked Sam. Sam was sitting between Inuyasha and Koga, with Sarah sitting across from her. Sarah was sitting between Hiten and Eric, and Kagome sat next to Inuyasha while Sango sat next to Miroku, who sat next to Eric.

"It's ice cream. It's a sunday big enough forthree to four people to eat-"

"She usually eats one on her own." Eric mumbled.

"And I still don't know how you don't weigh three hundred pounds yet!" Sarah yelled. "I mean, you sit on your ass all day and eat whatever you want! Why can't it be the same for me."

"Fast metabolism." Sam replied. "But as I was saying. It's a large sundae with chocolate, malt, whipped cream, and a cherry on top."

Koga had no clue waht she was saying really. Half the stuff that was going to be on the sundae he had never heard of. Sam seemed to have noticed this and smiled. "Trust me, it's good."

"I wouldn't trusty her if I were you." Eric said. "Most of the stuff she drinks and eats is the worst stuff you'll ever try in your life."

"Hey! Chocolate and peanut butter cappiccinos aren't THAT bad!" Sam exclaimed.

"Yes they are." Eric replied. "Even your mom and grammie agree."

"Whatever." Sam sighed.

"I think I'll trust you." Koga said as he took Sam's hand under the table.

Sam smiled at him before she leaned in a kissed him on the cheek. Everyone could see a blush come up on Koga's cheeks. He just kept getting redder and redder as Sam smiled at Koga.

"You're blushing." Sam pointed out with a slight amount of laughter in her voice, which made Koga look down at the floor in embarrassment. But Sam didn't let him. "No, no. I think it's cute. There's nothing wrong with it." Sam tried to make Koga feel better. But nothing seemed to make him look away from the floor. So Sam put her hand under Koga's chin and lifted Koga's face so he was looking at her. "Don't be embarrassed. There's nothing wrong with blushing." Sam said with a smile.

Then Koga smile. "I fooled you!" He exclaimed.

"Oh my God!" Sam exclaimed. "Ireally thought you were embarrassed."

"Now you have to kiss him Sam." Sarah pointed out.

"What?" Sam asked.

"I told Koga about our little inside joke. The one where if someone was able totrick you, you had to kiss the person that tricked you, unless it was a girl. Then you just had to do one thing that they tell you to do." Sarah reminded Sam.

"Umm..." Sam remembered it clearly, but for some reason, she kind of didn't want to kiss Koga in front of everyone else. "How about this. I'll take a rain check on that one."

"Chicken." Sarah mumbled as she sat back in her seat.

"Whatever." Sam sighed.

"Hey! I tricked Sam tons of times! I never got a kiss!" Eric exclaimed.

"When have you tricked me?" Sam asked.

"Umm..." Eric had to think about it. But he didn't say anything and came up with a blank.

"My point exactly." Sam said.

"Your sundaes." The waitress said as she places the ice cream on the table, spacing them evenly apart so everyone was able to reach some ice cream.

"Here. Try it." Sam said as she took a spoon full and pushed it into Koga's mouth. Koga took the ice cream, and found it tasted really good. "Do you like it?" Sam asked.

"Yeah." Koga replied.

"Good." Sam said as she ate a spoon full of ice cream herself.

"What is this?" Inuyasha asked as he took a spoonfull of the ice cream, which was covered with powder.

"Looks like you got a spoonfull of malt Inuyasha." Kagome told him.

"What's malt?" Sango asked.

"It's a powder that you put on ice cream. Try it. It's really good." Kagome said as she popped a spoonfull into her mouth.

Sango stared at it for a moment, but decided to trust Kagome and ate the ice cream before making a disgusted face and swallowing the ice cream. "How can you eat that?" Sango asked, her face filled with disgust.

"It's actually quite good." Miroku stated.

"You people are crazy." Sango said as she carefully scooped some ice cream that didn't have any malt on it.

"Whatever. I'd rather have noodles really." Inuyasha said as he set his spoon down.

"I have some at home. We can make some when we get back." Sam said.

About two hours later...

Everyone was having a blast. Then Sam realized what time it was. "Shoot!" She exclaimed. "We gotta go back to the mall before Jacob realizes that we left."

Then Sam's cell phone rang. She answered it. "Hey Benji. He's almost ready? OK. We'll be there in fifteen minutes. Can you keep him for an extra half hour?" Sam asked. "OK. Great. We'll be there. You guys are the best. Bye." Then Sam dialed a few numbers on her phone. "Hello? Yeah. Can you send a taxi van to Charcoal Pitt? Thank you. Bye." Then Sam hung up her phone a put it back in her pocket. "OK. We have to go now." Sam said as she led everyone out of the resturaunt, paying the bill on the way out and leaving the waitress a tip.

Then the taxi van showed up in less than five minutes. Everyone jumped in a headed to the mall, but will they make it back in time?

AN- I know. I'm evil for laeaving a cliffy. But too bad. I have other things to update too. Plz R&R. Thanx! TTFN!
