Okay, I'm not going to write about the first date, because that's an episode that most of us have seen, and if you havent, it's called the first date episode 5x2 you can watch it on youtube.

The nanny isn't mine.

***************************************************************************************************************

Fran was practically giddy. She couldn't believe that her and Max were actually going on a date! A real, live, DATE!!! She had to get something to wear! No, she had to call Val, no wait, she'd call Ma.

"Hello?" Fran heard her mother, Sylvia, on the other line

"Ma, your never gonna believe. Mista Sheffield asked me to go to the Elton John movie premier with him tomorrow!" Fran said, not trying to conceal her excitement at all.

"Oh, darling, that's wonderful! Mazel Tov!!!" Sylvia was extremely excited. Her daughter might finally get married!

"Oh, Ma, I'd love to talk but I have to go. Val and I are going shopping for my outfit for tomorrow!" said Fran

************************************************************************************************************************

Max was nervous about his date with Miss Fine. What if he said something wrong? What if it didn't work out, and she left? Would he an the children be able to survive the loss?

"Mr. Sheffield, it's going to be okay. You and Miss Fine will have a great time and you'll be so happy that you finally got together." said Niles, from the doorway of Max's office. He'd known that Max would be a ball of nerves.

"But, Niles, what if the date is a complete disaster and she leaves and-" Max rambled, but he was cut off by the loud "Hello, Hello." heard in the living room.

***********************************************************************************************************************

"Oh, Val I'm so excited. But I'm also really nervous. What if the date turns into a big mess and he never wants to be seen with me again?" asked Fran

"Fran, whatever happens, good or bad, Mr. Sheffield will always love you. He may not be ready to tell you, let alone the world, that he loves you, but I know he does. Even I'm not that slow." she said with a slight chuckle. "Even if the date is a total flop, he'll only be mad for a little, but he'll always love you."

"Well, I guess your right, Val. And, really what's the worst that could happen?"

*********************************************************************************************************************

(The next night, right before it's time to leave to go to the movie premier)

"Miss Fine, you look stunning in that dress." said Max

"Aww, thank you, Mista Sheffield. You look very handsome yourself." She said with a wink.

Right about then, Max called the family to go to the limo.

"Please, give me a sign that this date is going to go well." said Fran, looking slightly upwards.

Max came back in the door at that moment.

"Miss Fine, we're short a seat in the limo. You'll have to sit on my lap." said Max

"Thanks." Fran said in a whisper

*********************************************************************************************************************

(Later that night, after the date."

Fran was sitting alone in her room. She had been crying her eyes out, but she had no more tears left. How could she screw up like this? She knew she deserved everything he said to her on the limo ride home. And the beginning of the date had looked so promising! First, she sat on his lap in the limo. Then, they were kissing like there was no tomorrow. She thought that they were getting so much closer and then she had to go and screw it all up.

************************************************************************************************************************

Meanwhile, Max was in his room, thinking about the date. He felt like an absolute monster for speaking to her like he did. She may have ruined his chances at getting Elton John for his new play, but that was no reason to act the way he did.

(Flashback)

They were in the limo. Niles and CC had taken the children home. Max wasn't speaking at all, and Fran was starting to get worried.

"Mista Sheffield, why won't you talk to me? I'm so sorry about the whole "Elton John" thing, I'll never forgive myself for ruining our first, and what could be our last, date." said Fran

And just like that, Max exploded.

"You kno what, Fran? I wasn't speaking because I was still in shock that even you could ruin a date like that. At first, I tought everything was going fina. Then you had to remind us all of your usual, annoying self." yelled Max

With that, Fran had yelled for the limo driver to stop. She got out, and Max yelled "Where are you going?"

"To Ma's" she replied, with tears in her eyes. "I can't be in the same house as you tonight.

(End Flashback)

He couldn't believe what an idiot he'd been! He might have completely ruined their relationship!

But as far away as they were, they were both thinking the same thing

"Will we ever be the same again?"
