Chapter 13

Danny and Ducks Do NOT Go Together

That night Jada picked up Paula and drove to the McFly house to meet up with the boys. Dougie had called earlier to tell Jada that Fletch had called a couple of newspapers as an 'anonomous source" and told them where they would be tonight.

"So we're probably going to be swarmed with reporters. I just wanted to warn you and Paula," he had said.

"It's fine Dougie, I mean, this is the only reason we're doing this, right?"

Dougie paused for a moment and said," Yea, of course it is."

When the girls arrived at the house, the boys came out to meet them, Danny in a white button down and jeans and Dougie in a red Etinies t-shirt and khaki cargo shorts. Dougie was also holding a grocery bag.

"Glad to see you dressed up for me," Jada said, jokingly.

Dougie smiled and said," Well, I try."

"What's that?" she asked, pointing to the bag in his hands.

"It's for later, you'll find out when we get to the park."

They all got into Jada's car, Danny driving, and talked the whole way to the restauruant. When they arrived at a casual Itailian place, all they could see were reporters and flashing cameras.

"You ready?" Dougie asked Jada," Because if you're not, we could do this another night."

"Dougie, it's fine. I'd rather get it over with then delay it even more," Jada replied, smiling at how sweet Dougie was being.

"Well, if we're gonna go, we better go now before they go nuts and stampede the car," Danny said from the front seat.

So they all got out of the car and headed to the front entrance, where their were waiters trying to hold back the crowd for them. Dougie took hold of Jada's hand and smiled at her, making Jada get butterflys in her stomache. 'Stop it Jada!' she scolded 'He's only doing it for the cameras!'. Jada had been thinking a lot since Lisette had said something to her earlier about her feelings, and she had come to the conclusion that, she really did like Dougie. She didn't know how or when it had happened, but it had, and now she couldn't stop thinking about him and the situation they were in. Dougie smiled for the cameras as did Jada and walked into the restauraunt quickly, followed by Danny and Paula. They got their table and sighed when they saw the reporters still trying to get pictures of them through the window.

"You'd think they'd give it a rest," Paula said, watching the waiters and waitresses closing the curtains so that the guests could eat in peace.

"Nah, reporters are like determined to get as many pictures as they can. They never give it a rest," Dougie said, looking at the menue like he wasn't bothered about this whole thing.

Jada, who was a little unnerved at the moment, grabbed her menue and looked trough, looking for any escape from what she just went through. She couldn't stop shaking because she was so nervous. Are the fans going to like her? What were the jounalists going to write about her? Was this all going to ruin her when it was over?

"Hey, you ok?"

She looked over to see Dougie looking at her in concern. He put his hand on top of hers as a comforting technique and was suprised to find her shaking so badly.

"Woah, calm down, what's wrong?" he had started to rub his thumb up and down on top of her hand, calming her a bit.

"Nothing, I'm fine, I just got a little nervous that's all," Jada replied, finally calming down enough to stop shaking.

"Are you sure you're ready for this? I mean we can go home right now if you want," Dougie said, looking gunuinely concerned.

Jada smiled and said," No, we're already here, they've already got the pictures, what's the point in stopping now?"

"Because they're probably going to follow us while we're walking in the park," Danny said.

Jada looked up at him, suprised, and said," What? Would they actually do that?"

"Ok, we're going. You're not ready for this yet," Dougie said standing up from the table.

"No! Dougie it's fine, I was just surprised and unprepared. I'll be fine, I promise."

Dougie looked at her skeptically before sitting down again and once again picking up his menue," As long as you're sure."

"I am," Jada replied, more confidently this time.

As they enjoyed their meal that night and joked around, Jada started to get more and more comfortable with the whole situation, until it was time to head to the park. The four stood up and left, Dougie once again grabbing Jada's hand, and walked tot he car, the camera's once again falshing. As they drove to the park, they noticed that there were only a couple of the reporters following them, which made Jada feel a little better. They arrived at the park and walked around a bit, both couples holding hands, Dougie and Jada a little behind Danny and Paula. Jada barely noticed the cameras anymore, and was starting to feel comfortable with them there.

"So, are you gonna tell me what that's for?" Jada asked, referring to the grocery bag that had once again made an appearance in Dougie's hand.

He smiled and opened the bag, revealing two loaves of bread," We're feeding the ducks."

"You're just full of surprises aren't you?" Jada said, smiling even bigger now.

"You know it...actually this was Danny's idea."

"Damn strait, now give me one of those," Danny said walking over and grabbing one of the bread loaves for him and Paula.

Jada started laughing," Are you laughing at me?"

She nodded not being able to quite so she could say something.

"Well then," Dougie said," I guess I'll just have to feed the ducks all by myself."

Jada looked up, not laughing any more, and ran towards him, trying to grab the bread out of his hands.

"Oh so now you're not laughing, huh?" Dougie said, holding it out of her reach, and laughing himself.

"C'mon Dougie, please? I want to feed the ducks," Jada said, still jumping for the bread in his hands, and hearing the flashes of the cameras going off.

Dougie laughed and said," Only if you kiss me."

"What!?" Jada sqeualed, stopping her jumping and staring at Dougie as if he had just lost his mind.

Dougie looked around and lowered his head towards hers, whispering," For the cameras."

"Oh, right," Jada replied, blushing slightly and thanking God it was dark so he couldn't see the red tint to her cheeks.

The two of them leaned in slowly, and lightly touched their lips together. The cameras were going off double time but Jada didn't notice because suddenly it seemed as if they were the only two people in the world to her. Lights were going off behind her closed eyelids, like fireworks going off int he sky. She felt week and Dougie's lips were soft against her own. Softly pulling away from the kiss, Jada felt empty, like nothing mattered anymore but being able to feel Dougie's lips against her own once more. She slowly opened her eyes to find Dougie smiling down at her, but it wasn't one of his famous smirks, it was a real smile, something Jada rarely saw from him.

"Here ya go," he whispered, handing her the bread and breaking their moment.

Jada looked down at the bread he was holding out to her, not processing what was going on. 'I guess I was the only one who felt that kiss was more than something for the cameras.' She took the bread from his hands and started to run towards the pond where Danny was feeding the ducks, and Paula was beside him but she wasn't feeding the ducks with him, she was staring at Dougie and Jada with her mouth open slighty and her eyes open wide. Jada smiled at her and discretely pointed to the cameras, which made Paula wipe the shocked look of her face and turn back to Danny. Dougie came up behind Jada and took some of the bread that was in her hands and started to throw it into the pond along with her.

"Danny, I don't think you should tease them like that," they heard Paula say.

The two looked over and saw Danny slowly giving a duck a piece of bread and then quickly snatching it away," Oh, don't worry P. They're stupid, they don't know what I'm doing, they just think it's something they're doing. Trust me I know ducks ok."

"Really," Dougie said," Danny, how do you know about ducks?"

"My aunt used to raise them when I was younger," he said.

"Right...Danny, I think P's right, maybe you shouldn't do that, he looks mad," Jada said.

Danny turned back to the duck and continued to tease it," Oh, don't worry guys, trust me ducks are stupid."

The next thing that Jada heard was Danny screaming as the duck he was teasing lunged forward and attacked him. Jada watched in horror as the duck chased Danny around the park for several minutes, Danny screaming the whole time, and Dougie chasing after the duck trying to stop it from hurting Danny. She saw the duck bite Danny several times on his ass and couldn't help but laugh as it flapped it's wings and continued to chase him. She could also hear the laughter from the reporters as they clicked away with their cameras. Finnally Dougie grabbed hold of the duck and threw it back into the pond with the others, with Danny falling to the ground in shock. Paula and Jada continued to laugh and Dougie joined in after catching his breath.

"I told you!" Paula said, still trying to control her laughter.

"Can we just get out of here before that crazy duck comes back?" Danny said, standing up and running to the car.

Paula shook her head and ran after him, to attempt to calm him down as Jada and Dougie took hold of each others hands once again and followed the other two.

"Nothing like Danny being attacked by a duck to break the tension huh?" Dougie said, still laughing a little.

"That was possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen," Jada replied.

Well this date was fun, we should do it again sometime," Dougie continued, jokingly.

"Yea, we should," Jada replied, smiling at him, but at the same time, wishing that he wouldn't just ask her out for the publicity.
