It has been a month since Erica and Kate`s first day of high school. Erica sits in their English class next to a boy named Danny. He had messy blonde hair and blue eyes. His skin was light and he dressed in a plaid blue shirt, brown jeans and converse. Their teacher stood in front of the class dressed in a plain blue dress.

"Today we are going to be finishing up Romeo and Juliet, okay? Now everyone turn to page 345 in your textbook, okay?" the teacher said in monotone voice.

As the teacher reads the story aloud. Danny started to text something on his phone. Erica`s phone vibrated she opens it. She looked over at Danny and smiled.

The text read: could this class get any more boring? Who cares about two idoits who killed themselves for people they just met.

Erica wrote him back: I know right! Like seriously? They barley know each other! Plus it doesn't make the class any more exciting when we have a teacher who talks like from south park lol

He gets the text and laughed. He writes back: lol she does talk him! Hey did watch last week's episode?

Erica wrote back: of course! It was hilarious! I can't believe opening night for the musical is next week! I'm freaking out!

He writes back: you`ll do fine. You have a beautiful voice and you're a great actress.

Erica blushes as she read the text. Then she text back: thanks. It makes it a lot better that you're the male lead. I feel so calm when I'm around you.

He writes: I feel the same about you. You're the only girl I feel I can be myself around.

The bell rings.

Erica gathered her books and then waited for Danny at the door.

"Hey Erica…." Danny said nervously.

"Yeah?" Erica said.

"I…I have really liked hanging out with you these pass few weeks and I was thinking…I really like you and well maybe if you weren't too busy would you want to go on a date with me?"

Erica smiled.

"You want to go on date with me?" she said shocked. "I would love to go on a date with you. How about this Saturday?"

"That sounds great!" he smiled. "I'll pick up around eight?"

She smiled huge.

"That sounds great!"

Erica sat with Katie at lunch.

"So he asked you out?" Katie said in shock.

"Yeah!" Erica replied happily. "and he`s so cute and sweet! And he has the voice of an angel!"

"Where are you guys gana go on your date? Somewhere fancy? Somewhere French?"

Erica laughed.

"he works as a waiter, I don't think he has money to go that fancy." Erica said. I think at most we`d be going to TGI Fridays or a movie."

"A movie? That's so boring…..Oh! What about you guys go to a playground then you guys can like hold hands on the swing and make out on the jungle gym."

"Katie Hannigan you are just about one the weirdest people I have ever met."

Katie smiled happily.

"Really? That's so cool! I have never been the best at anything before."

Jack was sitting at the table next to Erica`s table. He heard everything.

After school Jack entered the house. Monica was cleaning and Chandler was watching TV.

"So I learned something today at school." Jack stated.

"Its school. You should be learning every day." Monica commented.

"Well I learned something interesting today." Jack corrected himself. "Erica has a date on Saturday with a boy."

Monica looked happy where as chandler angry. Just then Erica entered the home.

"You can't have a boyfriend!" chandler yelled at Erica. "You're too young you're not allowed to have a boyfriend!"

Erica gives her brother a "death scare" realizing he was the one who told them. Jack smirked enjoying the drama.

"Chandler, come on be reasonable." Monica said. "A lot of girls get boyfriends at her age. "

"Boys at her age only want one thing, and she is definatly too young for that." Chandler replied.

"Daddy he is not that kind of guy!" Erica told him. "He's really sweet, and kind. He even wants to be a doctor when he gets older."

"A doctor?" Monica replied. "We should let her date him."

"No this conversation is over!" Chandler yelled. He started to walk away.

"What if you met him?" Erica stated. "Maybe he could come over for dinner. You guys could meet him and get to know him. And you`ll see he is a great guy. I know you guys will like him."

"That sounds like a good idea." Monica replied.

Chandler was silent.

"Come on at least give this kid a chance." Monica told chandler.

"Fine. But if I don't like him. You don't get to date him." Chandler told Erica.

Erica hugged her father.

"Oh thank you thank you!" Erica shouted with joy. "You won't regret it!"

Two days later.

Erica is in her room fixing her make up.

Jack walked into her room.

"So you're actually putting on makeup? Wow you must really like this guy. "Jack commented.

"He is the nicest guy I have ever met."

"Okay…so if that's the case, why are letting him meet mom and dad? I mean you know I love them. They are the best. But they can be a bit….weird. Which not everyone is used to weird. "He laughed. "between Mom and her obsessive cleaning and dad`s lame jokes, after meeting them your boyfriend will be running for the hills."

"I know your just trying to scare me, it's not gana work."

"I `m trying to help you."

"You try to help me? Not likely."

He rolled his eyes.

"Whatever sis. But I'm just saying why you think I never brought my girlfriends home."

"You had girlfriends? Wait when did this happen?!"

"Have you seen me? Of course I have had girlfriends. I remember 6th grade was when I got my freest girlfriend. Her name was melody carriage. We met in math class. Oh my gosh she was so hot! Anyways I gatta get going. I got baseball practice."

He walks out.

After a few minutes the doorbell rings. Erica runs to the door expecting it to be Danny. But instead it was Joey and his daughter, Ally. Ally was wearing a back pack filled with toys and stick out of the bag was Huggsy (joey`s stuffed penguin toy in case you forgot).

"Oh no! Why are you guys here?" Erica asked.

"Geez that's the greeting we get." Joey commented. He entered the house. "I sort of ruined dinner. Apparently when making Buffalo wings you have to take it out of the box when you put it in the oven."

"You can't be here right now!" she told him. "My boyfriend is coming for dinner I want everything to go perfect!"

"We need good food and you guys have food."

Ally let out a laugh. They then walked into the living room and started watching TV.

Chandler and Monica exited there bed room arguing.

"Do I really have to wear a dress shirt? Hess just some kid." Chandler complained.

"This is important to Erica. So we need to show that this is important to us." Monica told him.

"But I think this shirt shrunk in the wash or something it doesn't fit right."

"well the last time you wore that shirt was the twin`s christening. So I'm sure you gained weight since then. Just wear it for now, we can buy you a new one later."

The doorbell rang again. Erica opened to door and Rachel and Ross entered in.

"THIS NEEDS TO BE SETTLED ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Ross yelled as he entered.

"Oh my gosh….this is not happening. Why today?" Erica says to herself. "Why is everyone here today?"

Everyone one looked at Ross confused.

"What happened?" Chandler asked.

"Rachel still doesn't think we were on a break. I keep telling her and trying to explain to her."

"We were not on a break. I never said the words 'let's go on a break.' " Rachel told him.

"But it was implied!" Ross argued.

"Who cares?" joey commented. "It was like over 17 years ago. You guys are married now. You guys have two kids together, you seem happy."

"It matters to me." Ross said. "She has always blamed me for ruining our relationship back then. But it wasn't my fault!"

The doorbell rings once more. Please be Danny! Please be Danny! Erica thought to herself.

She opened the door and there she saw Danny. He was dressed in a green dress shirt and he wore blue jeans. He had flowers in his hands.

"Hey Erica." He said with a smile. "These are for you." He handed her the flowers.

She smiled.

"There beautiful. Thank you!" she told him.

"Not as beautiful as you."

"awwwww! How cute!" Monica shouted.

Erica looked at her mother angrily.

"Sorry!" Monica replied.

"Wait you have a boyfriend?" Racheal asked Erica. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Maybe because it's not really our business." Ross replied.

"I'm her aunt of course it's my business!" Rachel replied. She turned to Erica. "Tell me everything."

Erica turned to Danny.

"I am so sorry." She whispered. "I would totally understand if you wanted to make a run for it. I wouldn't get mad."

Danny held Erica`s hand in his.

"I'm not going anywhere." He told her.

Danny and Erica go over to the couch. Ally was watching the show "Dog with a Blog" as joey was reading over his script for his new show.

"Ally, is it okay if me and Danny watch something for a while?" Erica asked nicely.

"No! This is a new episode! I can't miss it!" she replied.

Erica rolled her eyes.

"Well I guess we can watch TV in my room." Erica suggested.

"No!" chandler shouted. "No room you two stay out here. Color or something."

"Were 16 dad, were not children. Why are you acting like I'm a child that can't be trusted? I know right from wrong you two have taught me that."

"I trust you, Erica." He told her. "Its him I don't trust." He whispered.

"You promised that you`d give him a chance! Could you stop acting like this! You never act like this! You're always the fun parent."

"Erica, you my daughter. I just don't want you to get hurt."

"You can't shelter me forever!"

"I can and I will!"

"Okay everybody just calm down!" Monica shouted. "Let's not turn this into world war three. Now I just spent five hours cooking and preparing a nice dinner! So we are going to have a nice and peaceful dinner, okay?! No yelling, no arguing, no complaining!"

They all sit around a long table in the Bing`s dining room. Ally sat with Hugs on her lap and pretended to feed him. Erica sat next to Danny and held his hand under the table.

"So Danny tell us something about yourself." Monica said.

"Well I live with my parents, not too far from the school. I have an older sister who is in college and two younger brothers who are 6 and 8 years old."

"You're in the school play with Erica. So how did you get into the whole musical thing?"

"Well I've always been exposed to music and Broadway. My mom is in love with Broadway and I guess I just grew to like it too."

"You know I happen to be a musician myself." Ross commented.

Racheal rolled her eyes.

"I play keyboard. I was told I`m very good. Some may even say the best they ever heard."

"Really?" Danny replied shocked.

"I even got some money out of it." Ross bragged.

Monica laughed.

"You got paid eight bucks. Then you quit because some girl said your song was awful." Monica commented.

"Come on! You couldn't let me just act like I was somewhat cool!" Ross complained.

"You have dinosaur toys all around the house." Rachel commented.

"There Alex's"

"There yours. They are the same ones you had when we were dating."

Erica texts Danny. His phone vibrates and he read the text with the phone on his lap. The adults were so busy talking among themselves they didn't notice.

Erica wrote: I swear there not always like this.

Danny wrote back: don't worry. Every family is a little weird my family is too. But they always provide a good laugh, which is always great.

Erica wrote: can you be any more perfect?

Danny wrote: lol me perfect? Nah. I`m such a loser.

Erica wrote: not in my eyes. To me you're a knight in shining armor.

Danny wrote: you're the greatest girl I have ever met.
