I am back! Sorry for not updating in well forever but to make a long story short... I had to help a blond spiky hared man save the world from a silver hared psycho with mommy issues... but that's all better now. (Lol) Any way here is chapter five the search for the lights... OF DOOM!!!! just kidding about the doom part.... OR AM I? You will just have to read and find out and if you wood not mind to much review.

The bell on the door rang as Theodore and Jeanette walked into the store, "Why is it so hard to find the right lights", Theodore let out a sigh after he spoke. Jeanette placed a hand on his back, "Well look at the bright side, we've only been to...", she stopped to think about it, "Six stores... today", she said with a small chuckle.

It had been three days since they had been given the task of finding the lights for the dance and even Theodore was finding it hard to remain optimistic at this point.

"Okay if we don't find them here I say we go get some lunch before we keep going", Theodore suggested as they started searching the store.

Theodore let out a long sigh and lightly rubbed his temples. Jeanette took hold of his hand and started pulling him towards the exit, "Come on lets go take a brake and eat", she said trying to take his mind off the lights.

"Where do you want to go?", Jeanette asked as they left the store.

"How about Dennys?", Theodore suggested as they walked, Jeanette nodded in agreement.

The couple walked in silence, quietly enjoying the beautiful sunny day.

"Welcome to Dennys", the host greeted them as they walked in, "Two? Right this way please", he said motioning for them to follow.

Jeanette and Theodore slid into the booth on opposite sides of the table.

"Here are your menus, and your waiter will be with you shortly", the host said with a smile as he handed them the plastic covered menus and walked away.

They quickly looked over the menus and made up their minds on what they were going to order.

"Hello I'm Jenny, I'll be your waitress, can I start you off with something to drink?", she asked with a cheery smile.

"I'll have an ice tea", Jeanette said. "And I'll have a diet coke", Theodore said as he was fiddling with his napkin.

Jenny smiled as she nodded and took down their drink orders, "I'll be back in just a moment with your drinks", Jenny turned and hurried off to get their drinks.

"I hope we find these lights soon", Jeanette said with a sigh.

"Ya then maybe we can go out to a movie or something", Theodore said, with his well known optimistic tone.

"That would be nice", Jeanette said hopefully.

"We haven't been able to really go out since our first date", Theodore was still fiddling with his napkin as he talked.

Jeanette put her hand on Theodore's, half cause she wanted to hold it and half to stop him from fiddling.

Theodore looked into her eyes and smiled as he gently held her hand.

"Here are your drinks, are you ready to order?", she said as she placed their drinks on the table.

"Yes we are", Theodore said as he looked at Jenny. "I will have a grand slam.", Theodore handed his menu to Jenny while he spoke.

"And you miss?", Jenny looked to Jeanette ready to take her order.

"I'll have the turkey club", Jeanette handed Jenny her menu when she finished making her order.

"Alright I'll be back in a few minutes with your food", Jenny smiled as she walked away.

Theodore looked at their intertwined fingers and smiled, "You know I'm happy that you said yes to going out with me", he said as he looked into her eyes.

"I'm glad you asked me", Jeanette said with an almost teasing tone.

"Me too", Theodore said as he used his thumb to lightly caress the palm of her hand, her cheeks began to grow warm.

Jeanette let her mind wander while she enjoyed this moment. She thought about how she had been hoping that Theodore would ask her out for a while now and how these lights were hard to find and how Theodore's hand was warm and soft.

Jenny arrived with their food and placed the plates in front of them on the table, "Here you go. Now you let me know if you need anything else okay?", Jenny said with a smile as she then left them to their meal.

As they began to eat Theodore was deep in thought, I hope we find these lights soon, I want to spend some time with her that's not just a brake from an errand.

They ate in silence, both of them taking a few minutes to relax before they would have to start searching again.

"Well I guess we better get going", Theodore said as jenny walked away after leaving their bill on the table, "Ya", Jeanette agreed after she took a sip from her tea.

The air was warm as they walked out of the diner, "It is beautiful today", Jeanette commented as they made their way towards the next store.

"I'll say", Theodore said with a smile while he was looking at Jeanette, she blushed lightly and smiled shyly.

Theodore noticed a store behind Jeanette while he was looking at her.

"Huh I never noticed this place before... lets check it out", Theodore said as he headed towards the door.

Jeanette let out a sigh of disappointment and followed Theodore in.

The couple looked around the store for a few minutes before coming to clearance section.

Jeanette was rummaging around in a bin of Christmas decorations, she suddenly let out a mix of a gasp and squeal, "Teddy look!", she proclaimed as she held up a box of white icicle lights.

A smile quickly spread across Theodore's face. He tightly hugged Jeanette, "These are perfect Netta. Are there more?", Theodore asked with a very excited tone.

Jeanette nodded, she smiled as Theodore held her.

Theodore smiled back at her enjoying this moment, he noticed how close their faces where to each other and suddenly found himself hoping his breath didn't smell bad.

Suddenly "Material Girl" rang out from Jeanette's cell phone and she let out a sigh.

"That's Brittany... I should probably get it", Jeanette said as she reached for her phone.

Theodore released her so she could talk on the phone.

"Hello Britt... okay when? Ya we found them just now actually, they are perfect... okay we will meet you there", Jeanette closed her phone. "Okay Brittany wants us all to meet in the park and "report" their status", she let out a small chuckle.

"Well then lets grab these lights and go", Theodore said as he started to pick up boxes of lights.

So close... Theodore thought to himself as they made their way to the register.

I'm staring to think some one is stalling for dramatic effect who would do such a thing...
