The next day at the diner, Abby and Simon were going over some lines. Donna and Michael joined them if they forgot anything. That's when Lyle came in. "Hey there. It's Waffle Wednesday at The Golden Griddle," he annnounced.
"We're not hungry," Simon replied. "Just 3 decaf iced coffees will do."
"I need to ask one thing," Lyle said.
"What's that?" Donna asked.
"Is Abby available?" Lyle asked.
Abby felt embarrassed by this. "As if," she replied.
"Come on," Lyle flirted. "You know you want me."
"So," Simon disappointingly said, "you're not gay?"
"No way," Lyle replied. "I only do girls that have the voice of an angel."
Mr. Andor saw the whole thing and wasn't happy about it. "Lyle," he called, "we've got some dishes piling in the back!"
"Coming, Mr. Andor!" Lyle shouted as he took off.
"Nice work, Dad," Michael smiled.
Mr. Andor smiled, knowing that a big fight could ruin the business.
After going over a few lines, Simon and Abby left, only to run into Emma, who was flirting with Luis. "Hey, Em," Abby smiled.
"See ya, Emma," Luis smiled as he walked off.
"We need to go over our new song for Playville Saturday," Simon replied. "So we're wondering if, on Friday night, maybe we could come over and go over it."
"Everyone knows that our school spring theater production always starts on Thursday nights at 7 pm," Emma recalled. "Okay."
"We'll let Red, Nick, and Nora know right away," Simon replied as they left.
*Darn it*, Emma thought to herself. *Friday night is my first alien shift. I just hope Donna is okay with it*.

Back at The Golden Griddle, Donna and Michael were both dancing to Elton John's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" while going over the Blue Crisis.
"So far, Lyle has a thing for Abby, but Abby doesn't love him. Bram is too shy to say something. Now we have to check it, Cal," Michael explained.
"He's in the school play this year," Donna said. "We'll ask him Saturday."
