A/N: Things like this are Emma's thoughts 'blah blah blah'.

Rachgellergreen: I'm not sure yet maybe…you never know.

Mam: The whole Logan thing was intentional. My very good friend Telaka (also my beta) is a huge X-Men fan and her favourite name is Logan so the character of Logan is based on her and in that kind of situation I'd expect Telaka to be reading X-Men and also in the situation coming up!!!

Arwen16: I agree with most of your points and everything is more explained in this chapter.

Katie: Thank you, exactly the reaction I wanted!!

Huge thank you's to OTHlover, Butterflyzdreamz711, BroadwayDiva, celebgrl and Dramagrl for your great reviews

And Telaka you know what I think of your comments. Thank you!!!!!

Chapter 3: Dresses and Dates

"Okay we have less than 24 hours until the date – what are you gonna wear?" asked Jack.

"I've already told Erica – jeans and a shirt," said Emma.

Jack gasped. "Emma Geller, has your mother taught you nothing?! It's a date, not a chore. Good God Erica, move." He moved Erica and began to raid her wardrobe.

"Mmm, no, the LBD has been done to death… No… While I'm looking in here, describe this Aaron for us… Nope"

"I only saw him for a few minutes so I can't really think," said Emma.

"If you can't remember what he looks like how are you gonna recognise him tomorrow?" asked Erica.

"Umm, okay, he has dark hair, he's quite tanned, he has a cute little nose now–," started Emma.

"Now?" asked Jack

"He had a nose job, keep up Jack," said Erica. "And not that dress it makes girls look fat."

"As I was saying; he's tall, athletic, not muscley or skinny, just right. And his eyes, they're hazel and small, but round…"

Emma began to drift off at the thought of Aaron's eyes, and her cousins let her ponder the memories. Looking at each other they knew how much she liked him, and she really needed a good boyfriend – the others had been anything but.

Emma suddenly realised that she had been daydreaming and sharply turned to look at her cousins. "What…?"

"Nothing," said Jack and Erica together.

"Okay, now I have a few outfits selected, but I am not gonna let you try them on just yet," said Jack. "I will have my glamorous assistant Erica model them so you can choose your top 3 and then we can decide which is best."

'Why the hell does he do things like this?' thought Emma. She looked at Erica; they are exactly the same size, height, build, everything, but things always looked so much better on Erica than they did on her. Emma began to wonder if Aaron would've gone for Erica rather than her if they'd met first. Most guys did. Erica had long blonde hair which she swished like she was in some shampoo advert.

Jack on the other hand was very different. Although, like Erica, he was blonde, he was also tanned, similar to the tan Aaron had. 'It's a shame he's gay though,' thought Erica. 'He'd make some girl very happy.'

"Voila, outfit number one is this fabulous little black dress with sexy slip on sandals complete with glittery bag," announced Jack.

"It would be great if I was going to some fancy party, or if I was a footballer's wife, but for the movies, no," said Emma. "And I thought LBDs had been done to death."

"Shh."

The next outfit was perfect. It was a pair of jeans with sparkly details, a pink blouse and a camel coloured coat. "This is the one," said Emma. "Give me it and I'll try it on."

Erica changed quickly and Emma ran from the room with the clothes.

"And I thought Aaron was the one," said Jack to his sister.

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

While the clothing session was taking place upstairs the adults were trying to get the whole story out of Ben and Logan. Both were hiding behind comics despite Ben not knowing what was going on. "Who's that chick again?" asked Ben, pointing to one of the characters in his comic.

"That's Storm – only like the best character to ever come from a comic," answered Logan. "You take me to conventions, why don't you know anything about this stuff?"

"Are you kidding?" said Ben. "I'm too busy looking at the models of hot girls in hot-pants."

At this point Ben looked over the top of his comic to see five faces staring at them. "They're still looking at us," he whispered to Logan.

"If we ignore them they'll get bored," whispered Logan.

At that moment, a silver Porsche pulled into the street.

"Hey, uncle Joey's here!" said Logan, and he and Ben ran to meet him in relief.

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

"Hey guys what are you all doin' out here?" Joey asked Ben and Logan.

"We're trying to escape our parents," replied Ben.

"Okay, why?" asked Joey.

"Emma has a date with a guy tomorrow and they're convinced it's Janice's son."

"Aaaahhh – Janice?! She's back" asked Joey.

"No she's not," said Ben. "Well we don't know if she is…"

"How do you even know anything about her?" asked Logan.

"I vaguely remember her from when I was a kid, and I remember everyone living in fear of Janice coming back – being the quiet kid has its advantages," replied Ben.

"Guys I'm freezing here and it's reaching my special area – can we go in?" asked Joey.

"Yeah sure." Said Ben and Logfan grudgingly

And all three went into the house.

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

"We are not gonna tell you anything," said Ben as he entered the room, "so don't even ask."

"Okay we'll just ask Erica and Jack when they come down," said Monica, signalling the others to sit down.

"They won't tell you either. Anything said amongst us is sacred." said Ben.

At this moment Emma, Erica and Jack came downstairs.

"Are we going home soon?" asked Emma.

"Yeah," replied Ross.

"Well then we're gonna go too," said Phoebe. "Gilda, Austin time to go."

"But don't you guys wanna hear about my new movie?" asked Joey, looking crestfallen.

"Tomorrow Man, we'll come over while Emma's out," replied Ross.

"Okay." said Joey. "But you guys wanna hear about it don't you?" he said to Monica, Chandler, Erica and Jack as everyone else exited the house quickly.

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

The next day, Emma spent most of the morning and early afternoon constantly getting ready and stressing about the date. Ross and Rachel left her to it.

Up in her bedroom, she tried on her outfit at least twelve times trying to decide if she'd made the right choice. It looked so much better on Erica than it did on her. Unlike Erica, she wasn't blonde, she had dark brown, curlyhair like her dad,she didn't have nice toned legs; she was just normal Emma Geller. She tried to be like her mom, who was now an executive at Ralph Lauren (who had taken her back after much begging), but she was never into fancy clothes or looking perfect, she just liked being herself. After she had tried on the outfit for the thirteenth time, Erica and Jack came into her bedroom.

"Don't you guys ever knock?" she asked irritably.

"Oh look Erica, Emma's all nervous," said Jack in a baby voice.

"No I'm not, we're just going to a movie – no biggie," stated Emma unconvincingly.

"What time are you meeting him?" asked Erica.

"About 7. I'm borrowing Ben's car 'cause Dad won't lend me his," replied Emma.

Emma began to take off her jacket when Jack looked at the clock.

"Em', its 6:45, you've got no time to change now," he said.

Without looking at the clock Emma ran from the house and drove down the street at top speed. Erica however looked at it curiously.

"It's only 6:20, she's got ages yet." said Erica confused.

"Yeah but isn't it better if she's waiting for him rather than the other way around? That way if they ever get married and have lots of babies, she can tell her kids that Daddy made her wait on their first date." replied Jack.

"You're evil! I love it."

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

When Emma got to the movie theatre she looked at the clock. It was only 6:30. 'I'm going to kill him,' she thought.

As she walked in she decided that she'd wait in the café for him to arrive, but to her surprise as she walked in to the cinema Aaron was there waiting already. As he turned around she was once again immersed in hisdark hazel eyes. He began to walk towards her and she suddenly got butterflies in her stomach.

"Hi, you're here early," said Emma.

'Why the hell did I say that, 'you're here early'?! What were you thinking?!'

"Yeah, I work in the music store over there so I thought I'd just wait here rather than go home." replied Aaron.

"So, what do you wanna go see?" asked Emma.

"There's this movie – 'White Noise' – my friends said it was quite cool," said Aaron.

"Okay," said 'replied' instead of said? Emma. She had really wanted to see 'An Officer And A Gentleman' instead, which was being re-shown, and also Jack had been to see White Noise saying that it was the scariest thing he had ever seen.

'But Jack's a big scardy-cat', Emma told herself. 'But, then again so am I', she said to herself.

By this time Aaron had already bought the tickets. 'Oh well, here goes nothing.'
