(A/N: Thanx to everyone who read reviewed my story! Lol. I never thought anyone would read it. Now that I have some constructive criticism I can continue and hopefully I can become a better writer.)

Nikki was not impressed when she didn't get a "perfect match" after the first two days. She didn't expect to be checking her email every day to see if the web site had found a match for her. Jonesy had also expected to get matched up before long. He thought of himself as the most eligible guy in the mall! Why was it taking so long for him to get his match?

Jen and Nikki were walking towards the Lemon when Jen brought up the online dating service.

"So, Nikki, have you gotten you're "perfect match" yet?" Jen giggled.

"Not yet. Why should it be taking so long?" Nikki replied in a negative tone.

"Awwe. Nikki, they just want to make sure you get your TRUE match and not a sleaze ball," Jen said in a hug.

"Well I guess I'll wait then. Oh, and don't tell the guys. Please, or Caitlin. I don't want them to make a big deal out of all this."

"No problem."

Jen and Nikki arrived at the Lemon just as Jude got there on his own.

"Hey Jude," Jen smiled.

"Hey dudettes. What's happenin'?" Jude was playing with the wheels on his skateboard.

"Where's Caitlin? She's usually always here before us," Nikki asked.

Just as Nikki had finished her sentence, Caitlin ran over to the Lemon and opened it up.

"Sorry I'm late guys. There was this REALLY cute guy in the parking lot," Caitlin then went into what Nikki called "Drooling Syndrome."

"She's going..going..gone.." Nikki rolled her eyes. Caitlin was the only person she knew that went this boy crazy.

"Where're the guys?" Jen and Jude asked at the same time. Both of them had a light blush creeping upon their faces.

Caitlin and Nikki both spun their heads to the left and then the right. No sign of them. Where could they be?

Jonesy had found Wyatt early that morning at Grind Me. Jonesy wanted to tell him about the whole online dating thing. He'd of told Jude too but he always tried to show up at the Lemon earlier to see Jen. Everyone knew that Jen and Jude had a thing for each other…except Jen and Jude.

"Hey dude, what's up?" Jonesy tapped Wyatt on the shoulder.

"Oh. Hey man. Just getting my high dose of caffeine for the morning," Wyatt seemed to say through his coffee.

"Can I tell you something? And if I do, you can't tell the gang. Especially Nikki," Jonesy said with a serious tone.

"Dude I can keep a secret."

"This isn't a secret. It's just something I don't want anyone to know okay?"

"Oooookay. What is it?"

"Well you know how me and Nikki can't really date right now and I'm not having much luck with the chicks? I went on a site. It's a dating site," Jonesy said this with much embarrassment. He thought Wyatt was going to burst out laughing.

"Okay. What's the big secret?"

"PPFT! That WAS the secret! Any guy with looks like this should not need to go on a WEBSITE to find a chick!"

"Whoa dude. No need to spaz. Don't worry, I won't tell your "secret" to anyone."

"Good. And the worst part is that I haven't been matched up yet! It shouldn't take two days to match me up with someone."

"Don't worry Jonesy. This stuff takes time. Just be patient."

"Fine. Let's go to the Lemon. Everyone's probably wondering where we are."

Jonesy and Wyatt set off toward the Lemon. They started talking about the hockey game last night. Wyatt was new to the team as he had just discovered his ability to block pucks from going in a net. Their hockey team was awesome. Wyatt had only let a couple shots in throughout the season.

When they arrived at the Lemon, Nikki had wondered what they were up to. Well Jonesy anyway.

"What were you guys up to?" Caitlin asked before Nikki could.

"Nothing. Just grabbing some coffee before hitting the Lemon," Wyatt handled the situation coolly.

"Yeah well I have to go to work. We get the new ski boots in this week," Jen sighed.

"Ski boots? It's only September," Jude said in confusion.

"I know but coach says we have to get them so we'll be ready for next season. See you guys later."

Jen left and Nikki went soon after. Jude found it boring so he left too. Wyatt took the long way to work and left Caitlin and Jonesy at the Lemon.

"So Jonesy, what's new?"

"Nothing! What makes you think there's anything new? I have to go to work now. Bye!"

Caitlin shrugged off the awkwardness of Jonesy's reply and continued to think about that cute guy she saw in the parking lot this morning.

Jonesy reached work and greeted his co-workers. Afterwards he searched for the computer in the back stock room. He just wanted to check his email to see if he'd gotten matched up yet. To his delight, he had. He had nothing but a screen name. He was to add her to his "friends" list on the site to be able to talk to her. He wasn't even sure it was a she. Jonesy added her anyway. She wasn't on the site as her status was set to offline.

He sat there and waited. After a while he got to thinking. What was he waiting for? Someone he had never met before. His "perfect match". She could live on the other side of the world for all he knew.

"…Might as well get some lunch..." he said aloud to himself. He left his account open as he left for lunch.

Nikki got to work an hour late than morning. She had taken the long route. Anywhere was better than the Tacky Barn. The only reason she even showed up was so she could check her emails on her laptop.

"Nikki! Where have you been? Your shift started an hour ago!" Chrissie shouted.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Now if you don't mind I'm going to go see if the change rooms are good enough for these fashion sheep to change in. See you in an hour," Nikki waved.

She sat down in a change room and opened her laptop after pushing the power button. After it was on she checked her emails and she was surprised to see she had "one new email message." She finally had a match on the site! She was SO excited. She logged onto the site and found that she had a new friend invitation. Nikki accepted the invitation and realized it was the same username as the one she had been matched up with. His status was at away. At least she hoped it was a he. His name sounded like it.

She sent an instant message. What could go wrong?
