And Special Thanks to Flower Princess11 for helping with this chapter.
Caitlin had dragged Jen and Nikki to all the 'hottest' store the girl knew of, which consisted of every store brand. The blonde girl had even figured out the perfect location for the second date. Jen, however, had told her that she and Danny had already decided where they would meet. Caitlin surveyed their next 'shop and stop,' as she called it, while Nikki and Jen stayed back a bit.
"I still don't understand why you call it a 'shop and stop.' Wouldn't it make more sense to call it 'stop and shop?'" Jen asked as Caitlin dragged her to the nearest store.
"well, we can't go window shopping. We're not trying on outfits; we're buying you one. You need to look good for your second date," Caitlin stated this like it was common knowledge.
"And what trashy teen magazine did you read that from?" Nikki snarked. "Cause I don't think any of us have the money to buy something nice. Not that I'm buying anything. No offense, Jen."
"No, I agree with you. I don't think I need a new outfit. Besides, Danny isn't like that," Jen smiled as Caitlin stopped dragging her.
"Gasp…Do you think he could be the one?" Caitlin asked, looking like she might squee loudly with her hands in front of her mouth.
"Caitlin don't be ridiculous," Jen laughed a little at the thought. "We're just going out on our second date. That doesn't say he's the one."
"Besides what dating service can find your perfect match," Nikki interjected. "I joined, and I didn't find my match."
Caitlin gasped at Nikki with her hands on her cheeks. It was as if Nikki had spoken a forbidden language. "How can you say that? These teen dating services are of vital importance to our lives. Some of the cutest guys can be in your neighborhood, and you wouldn't know they existed without these services." Caitlin held a clenched hand to her chest and looked to the sky. "They uphold a sacred responsibility for us too—"
"I get it! I get it!" Nikki pushed the air with her hand. Clearly, Nikki underestimated Caitlin's love of…well, love.
"You know Nikki may have a point," Jen snickered a bit at her blonde friend's passionate speech. Caitlin came down for her passion and realized how she acted.
"S-sorry," Caitlin said with a blush. "I'm just so happy for Jen here to find someone. The dates I got didn't seem like the one. I even got a guy who faked his profile. I think he was called TooFineTuck. I hope I don't see him again." Caitlin gasped. "Do you think he lives here? What if I run into him? I don't want people to think I dated someone like him."
Jen and Nikki chuckled a bit at their friend's time in the service. But they couldn't blame her. Caitlin had…higher than, usually, high standard for guys. Across the store, Caitlin spied a cute top at the Albatross & Finch store.
"Ohhh," Caitlin squeed. "Look at that top. It'd go great with that miniskirt I have."
Caitlin rushed over to the store as Jen and Nikki followed.
"Well, that's one way to end a shopping spree," Jen remarked. The red-head was happy to shop to her leisure now and not of a strict shopaholic's regiment.
"And another way to start another," Nikki snarked. "Come on. Let's get over there before Caitlin spends all her money again."
"I sure hope the boys are having fun," Jen commented. "After all this, I could use some."
Jonesy, Jude, and Wyatt had walked the mall for a while as Jonesy guided the gang to his destination.
"Jonesy, I hope you have an actual plan to find out about Danny," Wyatt said in concern. "Because Jude and I are clueless about what you're doing."
"Same here, dude."
Jonesy stopped and turned to his fellow guys. "My friends, it's simple. Where did Jen meet Danny?"
"Uhh..at a hockey game?" Jude answered. He wasn't wrong, Wyatt knew that wasn't what Jonesy meant.
"OK, yes," Jonesy conceded to Jude. "But what got them to meet there?"
Jude pondered on the question for a moment as Wyatt smiled at his friend. The coffee-loving teen knew where they were heading.
"Alright," Wyatt said. "Lead the way."
Jonesy smiled as he resumed walking. Wyatt and Jude followed shortly.
"But wait, dude, I didn't answer the question yet."
At the You+Me=Love! stand
"And here we are, the You+Me=Love! Stand," Jonesy presented the location with like a Vegas showman.
"Oh, I see, you're looking to date someone who's met him and then ask her for some answers," Jude came to the wrong conclusion, but that didn't stop Wyatt from laughing. "Nice idea, dude."
Jonesy slapped his face at his friend's conclusion. Only Jude could come up with an idea like that. The three walked to the stand as Jonesy begins his "plan."
Hello there, Mr. BeConFuzzled. A fine day isn't it?" Jonesy casually spoke as he placed a hand on the stand. The man looked at Jonesy with a curious face before he types something onto the computer.
"Ah, yes, The Jonemesiter. Welcome back, I take it you came to see who wanted a second chance?"
Jonesy dropped his face. He thought because the girls didn't call him back that he got shot down. He forgot that the service worked differently. Jonesy turned to his friends.
"Did you guys check who gave you a second chance?"
Jude shrugged while Wyatt stated he hadn't checked yet. He forgot about the process as well. The three went back to the stand to see a lady in her early twenties with long dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a friendly smile on her face.
"Hello, Welcome to You+Me=Love!, the world's most interactive teen dating service, where we are guaranteed to find your perfect match or your money back...how may I help you?" She asked in a perky but professional manner.
"Uhhh...where did that other guy go just now?" Jude was a little freaked out by the sudden personnel change, as were Jonesy and Wyatt.
"Shift change. I'm Flower Princess11. How may I help you?"
"Uh...Flower princess babe," Jude asked in his usual way.
"It's Flower Princess11," She corrected.
"Right, uh...like, my bros and I were like wondering if you can give us the 411 on a guy named Danny," Jude asked.
The woman shook her head.
"I am sorry, but the identities of my clients and whom they date are strictly confidential," She said seriously.
"Really?"
"Yes, all client data is strictly confidential. However," Flower Princess11 looked to the laptop. "It appears that you three haven't checked in to see who wanted a second chance. If' you are all OK with it, I may tell you the dates you have."
The boys looked to one another. Jonesy and Jude were alright with it, Wyatt, however, was not.
"Umm…may I come by later for that?" Wyatt asked the lady.
"Of course. When you're ready, please come by the counter."
Wyatt turned to leave, but Jonesy grabbed him and Jude away from the counter.
"Would you excuse us for a sec?" Jonesy asked to the complaint of Wyatt and a confused Jude. None of them could get a word in as Jonesy took the three to around the corner.
"Jonesy, what the heck?" Wyatt was a little annoyed. Jude didn't mind.
"Dude, we need to distract the lady at the counter and get the info on Danny," Jonesy pointed out why he brought them here in the first place. Jude nodded while Wyatt shook his head.
"I hear ya, bro. But Flower Princess babe said that they were confidential. What can you do?" Jude shrugged in acceptance of the situation.
"Jude, bro," Jonesy swung his arms around the boys' necks. "I have a plan."
"Of course you do," Wyatt remarked. His voice was dripping with sarcasm. "Mind letting us in on it this time?"
After a few moments, the boys came from around the corner to resume their, mainly Jonesy's plan.
"Jonesy, I don't think this plan will work," Wyatt casually took a sip of coffee he still had on him.
"My friend, it's simple. No girl can resist 'The Jonesmeister'; so, all I have to do is distract her—"
"With your persistent personality," Wyatt snarked.
"Charming Personality," Jonesy resumed. "And while she's all distracted by yours truly, you two go around and look through the computers."
"But won't she be at the counter?" Jude asked out the obvious.
"Details. Details," Jonesy waved his hands in confident, casual objection.
The boys had nearly arrived when they noticed the counter. The boys became wide-eyed in surprise and shock as Wyatt threw Jonesy a smirk.
"So, you're going to distract the clerk with your charming personality. Huh?" Wyatt took a long sip of his coffee this time. The boy found their new situation hilarious.
"I don't think Jonesy can charm this dude," Jude was perplexed now. More so than when he joined Jonesy today for this venture.
"Shut up," Jonesy quipped. "And where the heck did that chick go?"
The three walked up to the counter. Jonesy walked in front and went to the person at the front desk to see a familiar face.
"Hello again, welcome back to You+Me=Love!" Said the man, identified as BeConFuzzled Writer, by his name tag. "How may I help you?"
"Umm…I thought there was a shift change," Jude had to ask.
"My apologies for the confusion, sir, but there was an incident with the service, and so we rotated again. That being said, is there anything that you needed."
The boys were slightly scared now, something that the clerk noticed.
"Oh. Don't worry sirs," the clerk waved his hands. "It's nothing to be scared of. The lady that was here earlier, Flower Princess11, she's the boss. So, when something is up, she takes care of it."
"What," Wyatt looked to Jonesy. "you were going to flirt with the boss?"
Jude and Wyatt smirked at Jonesy, he apparently didn't think this plan through enough.
"I didn't know she was the boss," Jonesy defended himself. He's been down that road before, very ugly.
"But you were gonna flirt with her," Wyatt's smirk did not disappear.
Jude laughed at Jonesy's expression. "alright! Alright!" Jonesy spoke in a slightly louder volume. After he calmed down, the boy turned to the clerk. "Can you give us our second dates now?"
"Sure thing," The clerk nodded. "But do you want the other to hear your second chances?"
"Yes," Jonesy may not be in the happiest mood, but he had pride in his pick-up skills. He was sure to get a high number.
"Well then," the clerk looked into the computer. "You got...three second dates."
Jonesy was so shocked, his eyes would have popped out of his head, if they could, with his dropped jaw. Jude and Wyatt laughed at Jonesy for another time today.
"That can't be right. Let me see."
Out from the printer, came a list of the girls who wanted to give Jonesy a second chance. Jonesy took the page and read them fast...well quickly since there were only three names.
"You got to be kidding me SuperStarBeth, KariisFun, InterestingIrma!? None of these are the hotties I'd have picked," Jonesy sounded a bit offended.
"Well, those are the girls who picked you," Wyatt and Jude patted Jonesy on the back as Jonesy's jaw went agape again. the clerk looked to Jude, who noticed and sported a confused and slightly frightened look. "Would you like to see your second dates?"
"Sure thing, BeConFuzzled dude," Jude was relaxed. There was no way he'd get fewer dates than Jonesy...right?
"OK, " the clerk typed again into his computer. "You got...seven second dates."
"Really!?" Jude exclaimed with his arms in the air. "Awesome!"
"Hold on, you got seven!?" Jonesy protested. "Let me see the list."
"Ask the gentleman himself," the clerk pointed to Jude. "Mr. Jude the Dude, do you allow this gentleman to see your second dates?"
"Totally, bro."
Out came another list of second dates. Jonesy took this list too. To his shock, Jude had indeed received seven second dates. Some of the names seemed like hotties as well, such as Fintastic, BestieSadie, Jackielynn, and others. Despite being a little miffed, Jonesy was not jealous of Jude, he was a fun guy after all.
Wyatt laughed so hard he would have spilled his coffee if the cup didn't have a lid on it. Jonesy and Jude turned to the laughing teen, with wicked smiles on their faces.
"Alright, your turn," Jonesy pointed to Wyatt, who stopped laughing and held his coffee close to his chest.
"You're kidding, right?" Wyatt did not want to share his number. What if he got fewer dates than Jonesy? His friends would never let it go.
"Me and Jude shared ours," Jonesy gestured to himself and Jude. "it's only fair."
Wyatt grimaced, his friend had a point. It would be rude, not too, and Wyatt was not a jerk to his friends.
"Alright," Wyatt relented and turned to the clerk. "Show me my info...and they can see it too?"
Wyatt was nervous as the clerk, once again, typed into the computer. The teen closed his eyes and covered his face in fearful anticipation of his number. "And you got...ten second dates."
Wyatt's eye shot open wider than what any coffee could do to him. "Say that again."
Jonesy looked stunned, while Jude just looked impressed.
"Wow...so you, like…got the most girls to want you, bro...cool," Jude said, while Jonesy looked upset.
"I can't believe it! How the heck did you get more girls than me?!" Jonesy exclaimed, while Wyatt, though usually shy around girls, smirked in a pleased fashion.
"Maybe because I didn't treat them like points, this isn't a game," Wyatt said, while Jonesy marched over the stand.
"So, have you decided on who will be your second date?" He asked.
Jonesy shook his head.
"No, because I didn't get any of the hotties that I wanted," Jonesy pointed to the clerk.
"That's not how it works, sir," the clerk rolled his eyes.
"Well, maybe you aren't the best teen dating service ever," Jonesy huffed and turned his back to the man. "I could do better than you."
"Is that a fact?" the clerk wore a smirk now. Jude and Wyatt did not like what was happening.
"Dude?" Jude whispered into Jonesy's ear. "What are you doing?"
"What's it look like," Jonesy had a hand covering the side of his mouth. "I'm distracting him while Wyatt gets the info."
True enough, the two boys saw Wyatt behind the clerk, who was on the phone right now. He was just about to reach the computer when the clerk put down the phone and stood up. The chair he was sitting on, pushed Wyatt back a little, and the teen snuck away, not wanting to be seen.
"Congratulations, Jonesmeister," BeConFuzzled Writer held out his hand. "you are now the newest employer at You+Me=Love!. I've just called the boss, and we expect to see you here bright and early tomorrow."
Jonesy shooked the clerk's hand when he registered what he just said.
"Wait…what? How? I didn't even apply?" Jonesy was surprised, to say the least, as were Jude and Wyatt.
"It's in the fine print, sir. We've had teens come over unsatisfied with their results before. So, we've added a clause that says, if the teen says they can do better, then we'll let you see how it's done for at least a week. We'll even pay a good amount for your work."
Jonesy let go of the man's hand to complain, but then the word 'pay' hit his mind. And the teen grinned.
"How much? "Jonesy asked. The clerk handed him a written amount, and Jonesy whistled as he thought about it for a moment.
"I don't remember signing any contract," Wyatt jumped in. he found the idea to be a bit suspicious. "Where is this 'fine print?'"
"In the form you signed. You must have missed it, but don't worry, you don't have too. Anyone, including this gentleman, can quit or say no anytime. It's completely optional…as long as he does nothing to violate work policy or anything illegal."
"Who says I'm gonna quit?" Jonesy asked with a smirk. "I'm in. See you tomorrow, Mr. BeConFuzzled."
Jonesy waved goodbye as he took his friends with him. Jude looked at his list with a smile, he was happy with the choices he had for a second date. Wyatt smiled too, but he was more concerned with Jonesy accepting a job out of nowhere.
"Jonesy, are you OK?" the teen asked. "Because that job came out of nowhere."
"Relax, Wyatt," Jonesy was relaxed about the whole gig. It didn't seem to bother him at all. "I've got a plan."
"A plan to work up the teen dating service corporate ladder?" Wyatt was more confused than Jude right now.
"What? No! Dude, why did we come here?"
"To see which hot chicks wanted to date us again," Jude answered. He had forgotten the reason they came in the first place. "I don't know who to choose I mean Fin was radical, and Jackie knows how to grind and flip, but Sadie brings her friend Katie wherever she goes, and then there are the others—"
"Jude, focus," Wyatt interrupted his friend's train of thought. "We're talking about Jonesy's plan to find out about Danny…Oh, now, I see. You're gonna check his info from inside."
"Exactly," Jonesy looked smug about his plan. "And the best part is the sweet paycheck they'll give me at the end."
Jonesy showed his friends the written amount. Jude and Wyatt stared, with the latter giving a whistle.
"Wow, that's a pretty penny," Wyatt mustered those words. "But what if you get caught?"
"Then, I'll just have to be sneaky about it."
Wyatt took a sip of his coffee, he didn't believe Jonesy could pull it off. Jude went back to his list as Jonesy looked at the amount he would be paid in. The tall teen had confidence in his plan.
Jen had arrived at her and Danny's location for the second date, Café Des Fleurs. Caitlin and Nikki waited by for support.
"Ohhh, her first second date," Caitlin jumped up a bit in excitement. She had to be held down by Nikki due to the looks the receptionist gave them.
"Calm down, Caitlin," Nikki commanded. "The people here are watching."
"Sorry," Caitlin stood still with a blush. "I'm just so proud of Jen. She may have found him."
"you mean 'the one?'" Nikki snarked. "Please, that's just in the movies. Danny Fenton can't be all that. It's a dating service."
"Did you say 'Danny Fenton,'" the receptionist asked with a raised brow.
"Umm, yes?" Nikki wasn't sure how to take that, even Caitlin didn't say a word. To their surprise, the man smiled gleefully.
"why that boy has been one of our best customers all summer," the man looked to Jen. "And you say she's his date?"
Nikki and Caitlin nodded as they looked at each other in shock. Nikki was even thinking of redacting her previous statement.
"In that case, we may just give them a small discount, excuse me," The receptionist called forth a waiter and whispered something into his ear.
Nikki and Caitlin couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Did you see that?" Caitlin stared in shock. "He's been such a good customer they're giving him a discount. Wow…I wonder if he has a brother."
Nikki was speechless. Literally, no words could be spoken. But she could still think inside her head.
What kind of guy is this Danny Fenton!?
The two were in their own world as a black-haired boy walked in with a bouquet of flowers. He didn't wear anything fancy but looked like he put some effort into his being.
"Ah…, Mr. Fenton, good to see you. Your date is waiting at your table. Let me escort you." The receptionist took Danny over to Jen as the girls' jaws now dropped.
And we stop for now. Next chapter, we get to see Danny and Jen's second date and maybe Jonesy's first day on the job. I can't but wonder if this breaks the fourth wall in any way. Thanks for reading, I'll have more next time. So have a great day and Sayonara.
