If Only You Knew

Chapter Six: Let's Go To the Movies

Barbara Diffy quietly closed her bedroom door behind her and squealed softly, walking lightly over to the bed where she and Lloyd slept. She picked up her Wizrd and zapped herself, changing into a comfortable top and jeans, then skipped into the master bathroom where Lloyd stood at the sink, washing the white makeup off his face. "Oh, hi honey," he said, wiping his face dry with a towel as she stopped next to him. "I'm just going to change, then I'll get right to work on the Insta-Weather, okay?"

"Oh, don't worry about that just yet!" Barb said cheerfully, clapping her hands together. "Our son has got himself a date with the girl of his dreams...right inside our house, better yet! I've been waiting for this to happen for ages, I knew he had a thing for Keely, he just needed an opportunity. Lloyd, go ahead and fix the Insta-Weather, but when you do, put it on Moderate Snow. School's going be out for sure tomorrow, and Keely will just have to stay a bit longer!" she smiled happily, knowing that she could now contribute to Phil and Keely's relationship. Their feelings toward each other had always been there, she could tell; now, all she had to do was give them a little push. Tonight was going to be something.

-------------------------------------------

Keely stood fidgeting in front of the counter in the kitchen, mind racing, while Phil sat on a bar stool next to her, fiddling with the Food 5000 Yumminator that would soon give them both dinner. She leaned on the table, supported by her elbows, arms propped up and holding her head in her hands.

' What are we supposed to do for an entire night? We'll probably be left alone, too...Ugh, why do I always have to be so dense? If I realized that I had fallen for my best friend a little earlier, I wouldn't even be in this situation! But noooo, Teslow, you always have to figure things out when it's already too late! Now I'm stuck in a house with the guy of my dreams, literally, except he doesn't even KNOW that, and I won't even come close to telling him, either. Phil, I swear...if only you knew what I'm going through...if only you knew how much I...' she couldn't finish her thought, because at that moment Phil slapped the futuristic pot and smiled uneasily at her. "Well, dinner's ready. What d'you want?"

Keely blinked and looked up at him, still somewhat lost in her own head. "Hm? Oh...um...you can get yours first. I don't know what to eat yet." She bent her head down again, staring at the table. 'If only you knew how much I love you...'

His eyes wavered on her for a second longer, then he quickly turned away, focusing back on the pot. He cleared his throat and said to the pot, "Steak and rice sounds good, I guess." While his meal popped up on a plate, steamed and ready, Phil's mind wandered away as well.

' Mom did this on purpose. She knows how I feel about Keely, I can't believe her! What am I supposed to do with Keel? She doesn't know anything about me falling in love with her, she just thinks of me as her best friend! And I'm not going to tell her, it might ruin our friendship, she doesn't even like me back, much less love me. Well, I guess we could watch a movie, or use the Virtu-Goggles or something. Just keep it cool.' He took a deep breath and grabbed his plate, setting it on the table and looking at Keely again.

She felt his eyes on her and she glanced at him again. "Um, I'll have the same as you. Steak and rice," she said to the pot, and with a ding another plate appeared. She took it and together they walked to the couch in the living room, noticeably farther apart than usual. As he sat down Phil picked up the remote, offering it to Keely, and she took it and turned the t.v. on. They placed their plates on the coffee table in front of them and focused on the t.v., both making sure to look anywhere but at each other.

"This has got to be the most awkward moment of my life,' Keely thought, sighing to herself. 'I can't keep acting like this forever. C'mon, Teslow, pull it together and do something, or else Phil might start to think something's wrong with you.'

Little did she know, Phil was thinking the exact same thing. Before she could say anything, he looked at her and said brightly, "Hey, Keel, you wanna go Virtu-Goggling after we eat? I figure that maybe since it's snowing so bad outside, we could go to someplace where you actually go and play in the snow. How about it?"

Keely gave him a look. "Playing in the snow?" she asked, voice dripping with sarcasm. "Don't you think we're a little too old for that? How old are you, seven?"

"Okay, okay..." Phil started, but Keely was still going on, as usual, to make her point.

"I mean, seriously Phil, what are you going to do, make snow angels? Sit around and make a little snowman? I mean, snowboarding and skiing is another thing, but---"

"Okay! I get it, Keel!" Phil said in exasperation, before his eyes lit up with another idea. "Hey, how about a movie? With the Virtu-Goggles," he added, when Keely opened her mouth to say something again. "Look, in the future, we have them in the best 3D vision possible. There isn't even a screen, it's pretty much just made up of three-dimensional holograms." He smiled at the look on his friend's face, knowing that he finally caught her attention.

"Are you serious? That's so awesome!" she said in fascination. "But nothing is as awesome as that mall we went to, no no." She said this more to herself than Phil, and he rolled his eyes.

"So we're cool then?" he asked her, and Keely nodded energetically. All nervousness faded as both of them chatted about what type of movie to see, too engrossed in the subject to realize that each was slowly scooting closer to the other on the couch.

Barb watched from her hiding place behind the wall, smiling at she watched the two teens talking endlessly. She tiptoed away, content with the sight before her, and made her way upstairs to her room.

----------------------------------------------------

"Okay, so remember, we're virtualized in this thing." Phil said, handling the goggles as Keely finished eating the last of her food on her plate. "Don't get too into it like---" he stopped, realizing his mistake, and quickly looked at Keely, hoping she hadn't noticed. She had. "Like that time with Robby?" she asked quietly, looking up at him, and Phil regretted even mentioning it. He looked away shamefully, recounting the bad memory for a split second, like it had happened just yesterday.

-Phil's memory (a flashback...he's just lost in thought for a few seconds)-

"Thank you Robby," Keely said shyly as the cute waiter of Paradise Cove refilled her tiki mug with water. It was Keely's first Virtu-Trip, and their first destination was, of course, lunch at a mall of the future. Robby winked at her and walked away, Keely admiring him as he left. Phil stared at him as well, although he watched with disgust. He dropped the sandwich he was eating and glared at Keely accusingly. "What's that about?"

Keely looked over at Phil, genuinely confused. She shrugged lightly. "What's what about?" she asked innocently, with a slight smile.

Phil rolled his eyes, then repeated "Thank you Robby," in a mock tone of Keely's voice. He glared at her again, and Keely gave him a look. "It's called being polite," she said in a matter-of-fact voice. "No, it's called being flirty!" Phil shot back instantly, staring his best friend down.

"What are you, loopy?" Keely asked, annoyed. "What are YOU, Flirty McFlirtenhoffer!" he replied in retaliation, equally annoyed.

It started to get worse. "I am NOT Flirty Mc---what you said!" Keely said in frustration, and Phil groaned, rolling his eyes. "You're the one being Jealous..." Keely quickly searched her brain for a name, "Mc---Jelly...Goober!"

Phil scoffed at her. "Jealous!" he said in disbelief, pointing his thumb behind him at Robby. "Of THIS guy!"

"What's bugging you, Diffy!" Keely said angrily, now glaring daggers at Phil. "What's bugging me is YOU!" he answered, beyond irritation.

At that moment Robby came back to see what all the fuss was about. "You two lovebirds on a date?" he asked, peering at both of them. They both turned and shouted simutaneously, "NO!"

Robby, realizing his chance, gazed at Keely and leaned against the table, smiling. "Well, then! Say kitten, I'm about to go offline. How'd you like to join me for some deep conversation and discounted appetizers, yeah?" he asked her, nodding. Phil groaned and looked away as Keely thought for a second. Then she turned to Phil and leaned in close..

"You wanna see flirty?" she asked simply, then turned back to Robby and smiled flirtatiously. "I'd love to," she replied in the same shy tone as before, gazing at him dreamily. "Cool," Robby cooed, taking her hand and gently pulling her off her chair, leading her to another table. He glanced at Phil and smirked. "Check ya later, brah!" Keely raised her eyebrows and nodded at Phil, challenging him to do something about it. Phil just sat there, stunned, staring as his best friend left to have fun with a robot.

- - -

Phil shook his head slightly, trying to push the memories out of his head. Not only had he become extremely jealous, but it turned out that Robby ended up trying to make a move on Keely and he had to step in to stop it. In the process of trying to turn Robby off (with the off switch being up his nose), Phil had scared the heck out of Keely when Robby almost twisted his arm right off his body. She ended up feeling so pathetic about the entire situation that she took off her goggles and ended the Virtu-Trip right after Phil came out of the fight okay. Her first trip wasn't that great at all, but it had taught her a lesson: She had no good taste in robots.

Phil was pondering in these thoughts when suddenly Keely started laughing. He whipped around to gape at her, wondering why she was so happy about one of their not-so-good moments. "Wha---?"

"Don't worry, I don't think I'll have any distractions this time," she replied with a glamorous smile, the laughter still lingering in her eyes. "There's better things to focus on." Keely suddenly turned bright red, realizing that she had just said her thoughts aloud, and tried desperately to cover it up. "You know, like, the movie. I'd be focused on the movie." 'Once again, nice work, Teslow! Ugh, can I be any worse!'

Phil just laughed it off. "Yeah, I think you'll like it, Keel. Better than any other hot robot!" He handed her the Virtu-Goggles and together they put it on, Keely glancing over to see if she was doing it correctly. Moments later...

-In the Virtual World-

"It's HERE?" Keely asked, gasping as a familiar futuristic mall came into view. She smiled as she took in her surroundings once again, and Phil grinned at the sparkle in her eyes. "Yup," he replied, looking around as well. "Come on, we have to change again." He took Keely's hand and lead her to the same automated clothing machine as before (yes, I know, I don't know the name for it...watch the episode!), and they chose out their outfits. Luckily Phil had better taste this time as he chose a rich royal blue pantsuit with silver, and Keely chose a slightly different stylish outfit in a light pink. Her hair had changed styles as well; instead of being a sleek straight it now held light waves with a few slight curls.

Phil gawked at her. She looked absolutely gorgeous. As soon as she turned to look at him, though, he closed his half-opened mouth and put on a casual smile. "Nice," he complimented, and Keely smiled shyly. "Thanks..." Both were staring at each other without realizing it, until Keely finally took notice and looked away, flushed. Phil looked away as well, and he laughed shortly, trying to get rid of the tension in the air. "Let's go." They continued on, now looking as normal (if anything, even better) as anyone else in the mall.

A few feet away, a familiar someone suddenly appeared in the mall, smiling maliciously. Watching the two friends walking on, the person laughed.

"On a date, are we? And you thought it was over? I think it's time for a bit of sweet revenge..."
