ahhh, so sorry for me taking a long time to updaye. i had writers block. but then my friend wanted to write some of it and here's her part!

Chapter Three

"Would you like a copy?" asked the waitress.

"No thanks, it's alright. I can just stare at her face and she'll always look 18 to me even when she grows old..." Dougie said sweetly in a sugarcoated tone. He was on the verge of laughing but contained it as the waitress was walking away, blatantly envious of the 'happy couple'.

"WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT? YOU MADE ME WANT TO THROW UP." Sara shouted at him, while walking to the car before she froze in her tracks.

"What?"

"I left my jacket there. I'll go get it real fast. Stay here and don't harass any girls; I don't want to get in trouble for your idiocy." Dougie, the perfect picture of innocence, began protesting at once that he was a very virtuous man while Sara ignored his objections and hurried back in.

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

[Sara's POV

After locating my jacket on the jacket-rack, I happened to look over and see the waitress that served us pinning up the picture of Dougie and me.

"Um, excuse me miss?"

She turned around and smiled, " Yes, can I help you?"

"I would like to have another copy of that photo please."

"Oh, okay, one second... Here you go."

"Thank you!" I took the picture and put it in my coat pocket, rushing back to the car.

Dougie was waiting by the car and smiled as I came closer.

'He officially has the best smiles ever.' [A/n: I think Danny has the best but anyways...

"Madam?" he said smoothly, curtsying and flashing another cheeky grin. Opening the car door, he gestured towards the seat and bowed once more.

I smiled back as I entered the car.

"OKAY. Let's go home, yeah?" He asked.

"Sure, it's been a long day and I bet Tommy boy is going to worry." I answered, laughing.

We pulled up into the driveway to see Tom coming out of Dougie's house.

"Where did you guys go, on a date huh?" smirked Tom.

"It wasn't a DATE. It was just me and him hanging out at the zoo, while he chats up other girls. Now stop being so nosy Tom. "I replied while I walked into the flat and set down my things.

I stepped out of the shower and dried up. As I was walking out the door I saw Dougie in his room playing with is pet lizards.

"Good night Dougie, I'm going to bed now. And don't stay up too late..."

"Alright, night..."

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

Next Day…

And then the fit bird came up and said, "Hey sexy, you wanna-"

All of a sudden something really heavy landed on Dougie.

"WAKE UPPP DOUGSTER!!!" Danny screamed as he jumped on his friend, "Let's go find some birds today eh? We can go to the park near that cafe. Eat some breakfast and go bird hunting!"

Dougie mumbled an 'I'm not going' as he pushed Danny off and rolled out of bed.

Eventually though, Danny -being Danny- dragged him to the park for his weekly "bird hunting".

"Awww, come on, it's going to be a blast, eh?" He pushed Dougie to walk faster when all of a sudden he stopped.

"I don't see why I have to go; you always end up getting the chicks." Dougie said annoyed at Danny.

"Hey mate, look at those two fit birds right there... Let's go!" Danny poked him and pointed a finger in the direction of two girls.

"What! Ugh... fine." Dougie sighed as he walked behind Danny as he sped up to reach the gals.

"Oy, what's up ladies? I'm Danny, Danny Jones." Danny said smoothly, flashing the smile that made millions of girls melt, "And this here is my mate, Dougie Poynter."

Dougie smiled sheepishly at the mention of his name.

"Well, hey," The blond one spoke, "I'm Veronica. This is my friend Amy."

'How come she's not freaking out? Girls would be attacking us by now..'Dougie pondered in his mind. He decided to clarify this.

"Um, you've never seen us before?" He asked, a confused look on his face.

"Well, I don't think so." Veronica replied as she turned to look at her friend who was looking as confused as she was.

The girls' faces showed confusion still.

"You're not from here are you?" Danny asked, surprised that a pair of young, fit birds didn't know who he and his mate were.

"Well I'm not," Veronica replied, "Amy here is, though. She's been helping me settle in after my move."

She turned to face her friend.

"You've never heard of them? You've been living here for about 4 months now." She asked.

"No I haven't, I was too busy moving in and getting stuff in place. I didn't really have the time to read about celebrities. But, now that I think about it, you do look really familiar."

"OH I KNOW WHERE I SAW YOU!" Danny exclaimed, pulling Amy aside, one reason being to get the girl alone, another to leave Dougie with her friend with whom he was obviously infatuated.

And as Danny talked to Amy on the sidelines, Dougie and Veronica were getting to know each other better.

"You have a nice smile." Dougie snapped out of his thoughts, and turned to look at Veronica.

"Thanks! So, you're in McFly? That must be a load of fun. What instrument do you play?"

"Well I play the bass, but I do vocals sometimes. And how about you, where did used to live before you moved to London?'

"Well I used to live in the States -California in particular- but I moved here because of my career and because of..." I paused and looked down.

"Male troubles?" Dougie asked, trying to put a little humor on an obviously uncomfortable subject.

"Well, yes but," I smiled at him, "I'm fine. So what about you, Mr. Dougie, do you have a female companion?"

"Actually," Dougie couldn't help but laugh. This girl had a sense of wit at least, "I don't"

"Hmm," Veronica gave Dougie an enticing smile.

"Hey mate!" Danny had come over and placed a hand on Dougie's shoulders. "If she's single, you should get at her. She's one fit bird." He whispered this part into his mate's ear.

"Well, Danny apparently has something to do, but would it be alright if I got your number?" Dougie asked nervously.

"Sure!" Veronica gladly scribbled it down on a piece of paper, "There you go. Call me anytime, eh?" She winked playfully which made Dougie blush.

"Come on you love struck puppy" Danny started pulling Dougie down the street, "And I'll call you up Amy for sure." He didn't forget the heart melting smile this time, either.

"Bye!" Dougie called out to the girls and he and his mate left for their flats.

Once the boys had walked off, Veronica turned to face her friend.

"So... You and Danny eh? What's up with that?" She smirked.

"Oh pish posh, I met him at a club last week. He was trying to chat up this girl but she rejected him and I started to laugh. And yeah..."

"Uh huh, right" Veronica teased.

"Oh? What about DOUGIE hmm? He's SOOO got a thing for you."

" Don't be silly, he was being polite?" Veronica turned a deep shade of red at her friend's comment.

"Then why did he ask for your number?" Now Amy was the one teasing.

"I don't know, whatever, let's go." And before Amy could say another word, Veronica sped off.

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

Back at Dougie's Flat…

"Where were you guys? We're ordering Chinese and you two almost didn't get a meal if it wasn't for Mother Tom…" Harry said.

"Oh shut up, baldy." Tom scoffed in a joking manner.

"Well, Dougie and I went bird hunting. We picked up two very fit girls. I met someone named Amy, who I saw last week at that club we went to. She had the dark brown hair with the highlights and was about my height. She reminds me of Sara... But better!"

"WHAT!" Sarah smacked her dim friend in the head.

"STOP. He's only got four brain cells left." Harry laughed.

"And you won't believe, DOUGIE actually picked one up. A mighty fine one too." Danny told a very surprised group.

"Pfft. Well, she's got long blond hair with kind of greenish blue grey eyes, like the oceans in Barbados. She was so fit! Her name's Veronica, and I got her number too" Dougie smiled slyly, but embarrassed at the same time.

Suddenly Sarah felt a pang of jealously

"Wait,he likes me though" she thought

I looked up at Dougie who was smiling and laughing.

"I'm... I'm gonna go to bed now... g'night."

Everyone turned to see Sara almost sprinting up the stairs which surprised all of them.

"What's up with her?" Dougie questioned his best mate's behavior.

"It's only 6. And she didn't even do anything today. Before you guys came home she was really energetic and wanted us to go to the movies and have a dinner in a restaurant." Tom explained, he too was taken aback by her abrupt departure from the company of the group.

" I'll go talk to her..." Dougie said.

"Alright, we're going to go to Tom's and get that Chinese. Good luck, Doug. Better hope she's not on her-"

"Bye!" Dougie didn't like the mention of female bodily functions, so he quickly shut the door behind his friends as they left. He then proceeded to walk upstairs and talk to Sara.

"Um, Sara? You there?" He knocked on her bedroom door and walked inside. Sara was sitting her bed and snapped out of her deep thought and look up. She patted a spot next to her.

Dougie sat down, and looked at her. She looked at him as though she was trying to read him.

"Dougie, can I ask you something?"

oooh! cliffhanger :)
