It was the day of the date. Jacky was getting ready. "Hmm, what should I wear?" mumbled Jacky while looking through her closet. "Ugh. I hate this." She grabbed several articles of clothing, and after trying and hatin' the look, she finally settled on an outfit. She decided that she was going to wear a sweater dress that had gray and white strips, black leggings and silver flats. Now it was time for her to decide how to do her hair and makeup.

"Ugh." muttered Jacky. After trying several styles, Jacky decided that she would wear her hair down. Her makeup would be simple – lipgloss, liner along the top lash line, and two layers or mascara on the top lashes. She looked into the mirror. "All set." mumbled Jacky.

She was glad that none of her friends knew what was happening between her and Alan... well atleast for now. While sorting out the tiny imperfections on her clothes, she heard her dad yell.

"Jacky, Alan's here!"

"I'm coming." One last look in the mirror and Jacky smiled. She grabbed her silver purse and headed downstairs. She saw Alan and her dad talking. He was wearing a white polo shirt and faded blue jeans. She smiled at him and he smiled back at her.

"Have fun." said Jacky's dad.

"I'll bring her home at 10." said Alan.

"Nah, have fun. You can bring her home around 11:30-12." said Mr. Lennox.

Jacky was surprised..her dad, the tough Navy officer was letting her stay out late.

Alan and Jacky headed towards Alan's car. Alan came up beside Jacky and opened the door for her.

"Thank you," said Jacky as she got into the car.

Alan got into his side of the car and started it up. "Just to tell you, you look very nice tonight." said the Brain.

"You too."

The Brain pulled out of Jacky's driveway and headed towards the move theatre.

"I asked what the rest of the gang was doing tonight and they said that they were gonna hang out at Arthur's." said Jacky. "I told them that I was too busy and that I couldn't come."

"Good move. They asked me if I wanted to hang out too, but I said that I had to help my parents out with coming up with new flavours for the ice-cream parlour."

"So what movie are we going to see?" asked Jacky.

"Well, I'm not too sure..." said the Brain. "I was thinking of that new horror movie Mass Effect."

"Oo, I heard it was good. I saw the trailer and wanted to see it."

They drove past the movie theatre and noticed that the gang was there.

"Um..Alan..the gang is at the movies.." said Jacky as she slid down so that the gang wouldn't see her.

"What?!" the Brain quickly glanced and noticed that they were there.

"What do we do?" asked Jacky.

"We can uh.. go to my house and watch a movie there?"

"Okay.." replied Jacky.

"What do you guys want to see?" asked Muffy

"I want to see a horror" said Francine

"Mystery!" said Fern

"Thriller!" Sue-Ellen said.

"COMEDY!" shouted Buster

"I agree with Buster" said Arthur

"Well I agree with Fern." said Muffy

"And I agree with Sue-Ellen." said George and Binky.

No one agreed with Francine.

"Fine, then no one wants to see a horror?" asked Francine.

"No." everyone said simutaneously.

Just then they noticed a car driving by that looked awfully like the Brain's.

"Hey, is that the Brain's car?" asked Arthur

Everyone looked closely. "I think it is," said Fern.

"Well let's see the license plate" said Muffy

"sccrsmrt... yup, thats his car alright." said Buster. "I wonder what he's doing.. I thought that he had to help his parents come up with new flavours.."

"Maybe he's all finished." said Muffy.

"Should we text him or somethin'?" said Francine.

"Nah. Let's just pick our movie." said Buster.

The car drove off and the gang finally picked a movie to watch, but someone was watching the car as it drove off, and thought they noticed someone in the passenger seat, but shrugged it off.

"Thriller it is."

The Brain drove off from the movies, and Jacky sat back up. They reached the Brain's house and entered. His parents were away for the night, at some wedding party. The Brain held Jacky's hand and led her downstairs.

"You know where the movies are?" asked the Brain

"Of course I do."

Jacky went over to the selection of movies and was contemplating on what movie to watch. "Horror, Romantic or Comedy?" thought Jacky. She decided on a horror movie.

"How bout we watch Hostel?" asked Jacky.

"Sure." replied the Brain.

Jacky popped in the DVD into the player and sat down on the green sofa with the Brain. She leaned against him and he wrapped his arms around her.

Halfway through the movie, the Brain got up and went to the bathroom. They paused the movie, and Jacky was quite scared. She couldn't stand the gore in the movie, but the Brain didn't mind. She didn't look at the TV screen until the Brain came back. She noticed that it was only 9:40.

"Are you scared?" asked the Brain, smiling.

"No.." said Jacky, still not looking at the TV. "..Well sort of.. I don't like the screaming and gore."

"Then why'd you pick it?"

"Cause I wanted to know what the big deal with this movie was." said Jacky quietly.

Alan laughed. He sat back down and Jacky layed against him. They were both stretched out on the couch; she laying against the Brain's chest. They didn't unpause the movie. He was playing with her hair, twirling it among his fingers. She moved and gave the Brain a kiss on the cheek.

The Brain didn't know what to do. "Do I kiss her back? Keep twirling her hair? Not move?!...okay stay calm Alan.. stay calm..." Alan tried to stay calm, but his brow was knotted in confusion. Jacky noticed this.

"Hey." she said leaning up. "Are you okay? You seem confused or somethin.."

"No, I'm alright." said the Brain.

Jacky gave him a "are-you-sure" look, but leaned back down.

"Jacky?" asked Alan.

"M-hmm?" said Jacky looking up at him.

"Do you want to go to the dance with me??"

"Um..Alan, I don't want to hurt your feelings but I don't think this will work out." said Jacky.

The Brain was hurt.

"I'm just kidding!" said Jacky, giggling. "Of course I'd like to go to the dance with you."

The Brain laughed. "You're going to pay." said the Brain, and with that he started to tickle Jacky.

"Alan..giggle stop it! I hate being giggle tickled!"

The Brain pinned her down on the couch and kept tickling her, but stopped. They stared into each other's eyes. She moved a strand of hair from the Brain's face. Neither one of them spoke. He leaned down towards her and slowly touched her lips. It was their first kiss. The kiss lingered, until the Brain pulled away. "Sorry." was all that the Brain said.

"Don't be." and with that Jacky wrapped her arms around the Brain's neck and pulled him closer til their lips touched again. First the kisses were soft, til one by one they became more intimate. Eventually they pulled away since they needed to breathe. Alan sat back up and so did Jacky. They snuggled back together, and continued watching the movie.

DetectiveMaster: hey, I think I saw someone in the car with Brain.
WorldTraveler88: really? I didn't notice.
DetectiveMaster: as the car drove away it looked like someone sat back up in the car...I think something fishy is happenin
Cutiepie112:I think so too. Maybe it was Jacky.. I mean they both had to do stuff today, you know. Like who helps their parents come up with flavours? And Jacky never really said what she had to help her parents out with.
4Eyes4ever: Maybe their hookin up or something
SportsGirl23: Then why wouldn't they tell us???
MysteryGirl: maybe they think that we're going to talk about it all the time... I mean if I was to hook up with a friend, I wouldn't want my friends to know immediately. Like, I know that they both like each other, but maybe we should give them space..instead of trying to find out every single detail.
Cutiepie112:yeah
DetectiveMaster:yeah
4eyes4ever: yeah
WorldTraveler88yeah
