"Who!?" everyone said in unison later that day at the staffhouse.
"I told you guys," Fin tried to answer,"his name was Ale-"
"WE KNOW, BUT WHAT ABOUT REEF!?"
"What do you mean what about Reef?"
After a few moments of all kinds of useless fighting and shouting that you normally see in movies, our hero, Emma said, "Never mind, never mind, it's better we leave Fin alone until she decides when she's going to tell us she loves Reef."
Reef then entered the staffhouse with a confused look on his face. "I see you finally admit it." Reef said, smoothing what he called his hair.
"EEEWWWWWWW! That is so disgusting, Reef is a mean, sexist jerk, I say this for girls everywhere!" Fin shot back in a rather fast way which I would've preferred she didn't.(I don't process things that people say or do very quickly.)
Fin: That is so not cool Scooterpie!
Scooterpie: You're the one that said it!
Fin: You're the one that wrote it!
Scooterpie: Awww yeeaahh............
Milky Cyprus: Hey y'all, I'll sign autographs later, I just gotta go act like I have a nice singing voice.
Fin and Scooterpie: Your voice is the worst thing I've ever heard! it just sounds like you're talking into the microphone! Even your just flat out talking voice is scratchy and pitchy.
Milky: Sorry, I wasn't really listening, I was focusing on trying to dumb down your big words.
After the first encounter, Fin and Alex started meeting secretly more and more. Fin would skip work for a few hours to see Alex and get lunch with him. Poor Emma had to cover Fin's shift while Fin had fun. Emma also had to keep Bummer from finding out about Fin skipping work to see a hotel guest.
(Don't get too upset about Fin being with Alex, it all changes.)
After a week or so of Fin meeting with Alex constantly, one day,Fin rushed into the DR with her eyes wide and I smile plastered on her face that she couldn't stop.
"ALEX JUST ASKED ME OUT!" Fin screamed so the whole world could know.(Although, she would have just been happy with Reef hearing it.)
Alex came through the door after her, half smiling. He didn't say much but you could tell he was happy about asking Fin out too.
Emma ran up to congratulate Fin. "I'm so happy for you, he's such a great guy!"
"I know, he's so sweet and sensitive too. I'll go tell Reef about me and Alex going out. He'll be so jealous."
"Why do you care about Reef. Do you love him?" Emma said.
"I don't feel like repeating my point that I earlier stated."
"Whatever, it doesn't matter. At least Alex finally asked yoo out."
"I know, he won't tell me where we're going though. I hope it's somewhere really romantic. I might see Reef an- and I could like rub it in his face and-"
"There you go again." Emma groaned.
"What do you mean?"
"You keep talking about making Reef jealous. Don't you notice it?"
"No, not really. I think you might be sick." Fin said putting the back of her hand to Emma's forehead.
"I am not! Just never mind what I said. I just want to know, what words exactly did Alex use to ask you out?" Emma said, the excited smile returning to her face.
"Well......." Fin tried to reply, blushing. "He said.........
(This is the part where a cool flashback happens and the whole scene changes.)
Fin and Alex were sitting on a private beach, her head rested on his shoulder.
They were staring at the beautiful sky. Alex was trying to work up the courage to say what he was about to say and Fin just knew it.
"You know, Fin," he said, "We've been meeting like this for a while and I was wondering....."
Fin's eyes were widening and she was biting her lip to stop the smile that was slowly making it's way onto her mouth.
Alex took a deep breath and let out, trying his hardest to form words while Fin was looking at him expectantly.
"Do you want to, go out with me?"
(The picture now went all wavy and it switched back to the dining room.)
Emma was making one of those faces where you could tell she was trying to hold back a scream. Her face was all blown up and her eyes were wide.
She let it out for the whole resteraunt to hear Fin nearly fell over.
"Oh my gosh! That is so romantic!"
"I know!" Fin replied, turning around to glance at Alex, who was now twirling a fork in some spaghetti.
Fin looked back at Emma and said, "I think I should go now."
Fin turned around and started to walk away. As Alex was eating, Fin grabbed him by the wrist and he stood up to walk away. As he did, he turned around towards Emma and made the "call me" sign.
Emma's jaw dropped to the ground, but she knew she couldn't hurt Fin. Alex smirked and turned away, putting his arm around Fin as he went back through the door.
Emma, remembering she still had to work and couldn't leave, took out her cell and dialed Lo's number.
Fin came back to the staff-house after her date to find everyone sitting on the porch in silence with their heads down.
"What's wrong?" Fin asked, lookiong concerned.
Lo was just about to burst and tell Fin everything she had heard.
Emma turned to Lo and gave her a look telling her to keep her yap shut.
"Nothing." Broseph said in a flat voice, "Absolutely nothing."
"How could you date such a jerkface!?" Lo suddenly screamed, ignoring Emma's dirty looks.
"What are you talking about? Alex is the sweetest guy ever and he wouldn't do anyhitng to hurt me or anyone else! You're all crazy!" Fin said, bursting through the door into the staffhouse and out of sight, up to her room where she locked the door.
Emma turned to glance at Lo, who now innocently kept her head hanging, staring at the floor.
"Nicely done Lo. I shouldn't have told you, you can't learn to keep your mouth shut!" Emma said in a rather harsh way.
"I couldn't help it Emma! You're not Mrs. Perfect either!" Lo got up and ran into the staffhouse, barely holding back the tears that were stinging her eyes.
Emma was about to turn to Broseph and say, "I guess it's just me and you that aren't crying." She looked up to see glistening streams of tears rolling down his cheeks.
"What's wrong Broseph?" Emma said, feeling betrayed.
Broseph shouted,"I don't know which side to take, man!", he then ran away too.
Emma sat there in shock, she felt like crying but she didn't bother.
How could I have been so mean. Ohhhhhhhh, I have to fix this!
Emma got up and went to the staffhouse door, entering slowly, thinking of a solution.
After five minutes, Reef had emerged from behind the row of bushes that lined the trail to the staffhouse, his hiding place to listen to the conversation.
Reef mumbled, "Who's Alex?"
Broseph then walked up and put his hdand on Reef's shoulder. "You missed a lot, Bro."
