Van Buren's is a family diner. It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day. It is somewhat busy tonight. Families are out for dinner, co-workers who just got off of work are having drinks, couples are having dates or just having dinner together. It's a typical diner. The waitresses are busy taking orders or serving orders. One waitress approaches a table that is being occupied by Maddy's group. Maddy is sitting next to Finn and Rachel while Veronica, Zachary, and Aria are sitting across from them.
"Can I get you guys anything?" asked the Waitress, preparing her pen and notepad.
Everyone glances at Maddy to start first.
"I'll have a number three combo with a Pepsi." ordered Maddy.
"Number three combo with a Pepsi." the Waitress muttered to herself as she wrote the order down. After writing down Maddy's order, she looks up at Finn.
"I'll get two hot dogs with a 7UP." ordered Finn.
The Waitress writes down Finn's order before looking up at Rachel.
"I'll have a number two combo meal with a Pepsi." ordered Rachel.
The Waitress writes down Rachel's order before looking up at Veronica.
"We'll just have the Appetizer plate." ordered Veronica for both her and Zachary.
"Anything to drink?" asked the Waitress.
"I'll have a Diet Pepsi." answered Veronica.
"I'll just have a regular Pepsi." answered Zachary.
The Waitress writes down their drink orders before looking up at Aria.
"I'll have the Pepperoni Pepsi with a Dr. Pepper." ordered Aria.
"Alright. I'll bring your orders over soon." said the Waitress.
"Thank you!" said Veronica.
The Waitress leaves the group. The teens begin their conversation.
"So do we have any idea what movie that we would like to watch on Wednesday?" asked Finn.
"Something scary." answered Rachel.
"How about something romantic?" suggested Veronica.
"How about something funny?" suggested Zachary.
"How about Magic Mike?" suggested Aria.
"You just want to see shirtless guys." said Veronica.
"Hell, yes, I do."
"How about Titanic?" suggested Maddy.
"I love Titanic." announced Veronica.
"Classic movie." declared Zachary.
"I like the feel of the movie." stated Finn.
"It's an awesome movie." added Rachel.
"It may not have male nudity. But Kate shows off her tits. I'm for it." stated Aria.
"I guess we're all in agreement then. Titanic it is."
The main entrance door opens and Victor walks in. Maddy notices him and is surprised to see him. Victor finally notices her and is also surprised to see her. He signals her to meet him around the bathroom, which is out of sight of her group.
"I'll be right back guys." said Maddy.
"Okay." said Finn.
Maddy gets up from the table and heads in the direction of the bathrooms. Once she gets to the bathroom hall, she and Victor maul each other with a passionate kiss.
"I didn't know that you would be here." stated Victor.
"I didn't think I would either." Maddy informs her boyfriend.
They continue to make out.
"Well, this is new. Not only are we sneaking around at school. Now we're sneaking around outside the diner bathrooms." Victor joked.
Maddy chuckles.
"Sexy and romantic, right?" Maddy joked.
"Next we'll be sneaking around your house while nobody is home."
"Ooh! That would be exciting. But it's too risky."
"Right. Let's stick to school hallways where everyone we know will find us."
"Oh, shut up and kiss me."
Maddy and Victor go at it again. They get so into it that everything around them becomes non-existence. So much so that they don't notice...
"Oh, my God!" exclaimed a familiar voice to Maddy.
A horrified Maddy spins around to see - Rachel standing there and in shock by what she just witnessed.
"Uh, Rachel, hi." greeted a nervous Maddy. "How long were you standing there?"
"Long enough to see you making out with this dude." replied Rachel. "He's cute."
"Don't tell anyone!" Maddy begged.
"Oh, don't worry. I won't tell."
"Thank you."
"No problem." said Rachel before turning around and yelling, "Hey, guys!"
"NO!" shouted Maddy as she chased Rachel back to their table.
"You're not going to believe what I just saw Maddy doing outside the bathroom."
The group looks up at Maddy. Victor walks up beside her. They finally get it.
"No way!" exclaimed Veronica. "Did they..."
"I couldn't tell where her lips ended and his began." Rachel informs them.
Everyone laughs over this. Maddy is extremely embarrassed by this.
"Well, we've been caught. They may as well know." Victor suggests to Maddy.
Maddy sighs. Concedes to the idea.
"Guys, this is my boyfriend Vi..." Maddy goes to introduce her group to her boyfriend.
But...
"Oh, we know Victor McQueen." stated Finn as he stood up from his chair. "What's up, dude?"
"Sup, Finnster." replied Victor.
Victor and Finn give each other the bro-shake. Maddy pulls her brother aside.
"Please, do not tell Dad about this." Maddy begged. "He will be so pissed if he finds out that I am dating Victor."
"Don't worry." Finn assured his twin sister. "Dad is a tightass. He doesn't need to know about your personal life. I'm all for this."
"Thank you!" expressed Maddy with relief.
"Yeah, fuck your Dad." exclaimed Veronica. "I think you should go for it."
"You mean you guys don't care that I'm dating someone like Victor?" asked a surprised Maddy.
"Why would we?" asked Veronica.
"Date whoever you want." said Zachary.
"As long as you're happy." added Rachel.
"And I support your choices, sis." stated Finn.
"I'm just glad that you're getting some kind of action." said Aria.
An overwhelmed Maddy smiles over the support that she has received from her group.
"Thank you. Thank you all." Maddy addressed her group.
"Of course. We just want you to be happy." said Veronica.
Maddy allows Victor to put his arm around her openly in front of everyone.
"So does this mean no more sneaking around?" asked Victor.
"No more sneaking around." answered Maddy.
"Oh shucks! I was beginning to think that was the hottest thing about us." Victor joked.
Everyone laughs in response to this. Zachary gets up from his chair and brings over another empty chair from an unoccupied table and brings it over to the end of the table next to Maddy for Victor.
"Sit with us, bro." said Zachary.
"Thanks, man." Victor expressed as he took a seat on the chair.
Zachary signals for the waitress to return, which she does and hands Victor a menu.
"Can I get you anything to drink?" asked the Waitress.
"I'll just have a Pepsi." replied Victor.
"Sure thing, hun." said the Waitress as she wrote down his drink order.
Afterwards, she leaves. The group begins talking and brings Victor into their conversation as if he had always been there with them. All the while, Maddy and Victor are holding hands and smiling. Happy to not have to hide their relationship from her friends. Victor is easily accepted by Maddy's group as one of their own.
The sun is setting with a pinkish-purple color sky. It is a very beautiful sight out in the diner parking lot. Even more romantic for Maddy and Victor as they kiss each other goodbye by his car.
"I am so glad that we finally got to do this." stated Maddy.
"I am, too." said Victor.
They continue to kiss, which turns into a makeout session. Right there out in the parking lot for the world to see and they don't have a care in the world who sees them.
"Hey, love birds! We gotta get going before Dad kills us!" shouted Finn.
"Okay!" Maddy shouted back before turning back to her boyfriend. "I have to go."
"Okay." said an understanding Victor.
"I'll see you tomorrow."
"I hope so."
The two give each other one last kiss.
"Goodbye, Victor."
"Goodbye, Maddy."
Maddy walks away from her boyfriend and rejoins her twin brother and his girlfriend. Victor stands outside his car and watches as Maddy gets into the back seat of Rachel's car. As Rachel drives off, Maddy waves goodbye to Victor, who waves back with a bright smile on his face. After Maddy has left, Victor gets into his car. He is happier than he has been for a very long time. He has been very unhappy ever since his parents abandoned him, having chosen a life of crime over their own son.
