One day, when Jack and Danny were eating at Falafel Phil's, Zoey and Ashley decided to disturb their little lunch date. The two cheerleaders walked into the restaurant and took a seat at the booth next to their booth.

"Looks like you were right Zoey!" said Ashley, louder than necessary.

"I told you she had a thing for Jack." said Zoey, equally loud.

"She's done the impossible!" said Ashley.

"Yeah, who'd of thunk that there was a girl that could break up Jack and Kim!" said Zoey.

Jack got up, annoyed by the girls' loud conversation. "Would you guys shut up!" he huffed. "It is NOT Danny's fault that Kim and I broke up!" Jack was getting defensive.

"Oh no?" said Zoey, in a fake surprised tone.

Danny slowly turned in her seat, peering into the booth next her, with a worried look on her face.

Zoey gave her a sly grin. "Everything seemed fine before she came along."

"Well then maybe you don't know the whole story." said Jack.

"Don't lie to me Jack Anderson. Everyone knows that you two were Seaford's happiest, most perfect couple, " Zoey gagged at this, " that is the whole story. you guys argued but it was in a way that easily blew over and you two always knew how to fix. There isn't anything more to your dumb story."

Jack just glared at them trying to come up with something else to say.

But Zoey continued, "But I guess you and Kim aren't as perfect as a couple as everyone thought you were. Our good friend Danny proved that."

"I'm not your friend." said Danny coldly.

"Tsk tsk," said Zoey, "I just don't understand why we can't be friends, Danny, dear. Ashley and I have been nothing but nice to you. We even encouraged you to go after your man, here, by telling you were better for him than Kim!"

"You what?" Jack burst.

Zoey giggled to herself, "Oops did I say that out loud?"

"why would you say that?" said Jack angrily, then he remembered Danny was still sitting there and gave her an apologetic look. Danny just looked at the ground like she didn't deserve it.

"Because we were sick of seeing you two look so happy together. ESPECIALLY after what you two did to us after Homecoming!"

"hey not our fault that you made a stupid bet that you guys should have known you were going to lose," said Jack.

"Whatever, I'm still glad we were able to get into your little girlfriend here's, pretty little head." Zoey smirked.

"You didn't get into my head!" Danny said trying to defend herself and to not seem so easily influenced.

"HA yeah right!," scoffed Ashley.

"Agreed," said Zoey, "I'm pretty sure you didn't want to get in between Jack and Kim's relationship before we spoke to you, 'cause you're just SUCH a good girl. But once we told you that we thought you were better for Jack than Kim, you were totally on board for winning Jack over. Am I right?"

Jack looked at Danny disbelievingly when Danny didn't respond. She just looked down in shame.

"She did a pretty good job of it too, " Zoey continued, " making Kim seem like clingy girlfriend who has nothing in common with you, Jack. Priceless."

Jack flashed back to the things Danny had said about Kim, he didn't realize it at the moment but she did talk abut Kim a lot in discouragingly kind of way. Then he looked at her, "How could you?" he asked her.

"Jack I told you, I've loved you since we were kids. I wanted my chance at love!" Danny exclaimed.

"Yeah but I would think you would know better than to meddle into people's relationships! Kim was right, people do change," Jack said, "and I can't believe you let these two numbskulls manipulate you like that!"

Danny held Jack's hand and begged for forgiveness, "It's not my fault, it's not my fault" she repeated between sobs.

Jack looked around the restaurant. People were staring. This was embarrassing. Kim would never cry so emotionally and pathetically over such a defeat. She was stronger than that. She would walk away with pride and move on. Jack realized how much he missed her now. He strongly desired to see her face again. It seemed like forever since he's last seen her. Jack tilted Danny's face up so she would look at him. "I think it's time for you to go home." he said gently.
