"So you mean to tell me that somehow Chris asked you out on a date and wants me to be there with you?" Quana asked Cassie.

"Y-yeah... of course he wants you there!" Quana laughed.

"I hate him and he hates me, why would either of us want that?" Cassie shrugged. "Well, unless you give me some kind of reason as to why I should be there I won't go."

"Quana please! I can't be on this date alone."

"Then just decline him."

"How can I?"

"Like this: fuck off Chris."

"You know I won't say that, besides unlike you I actually think he's cute."

"So then you won't go out with him why?"

"Because that's crazy! Maybe I should just admire him from afar and leave it at that." Quana laughed.

"You're a train wreck Cassie. Look even if I go, all he's gonna do is be making googly eyes at you and I'll be a third wheel, so how about we just make this a group date and I invite Keris."

"Are you sure Chris just wouldn't use that as an excuse to get alone with me, because there are too many girls around?"

"Probably, he's a loser like that so I wouldn't be surprised. So how about I invite Hayate too?" Cassie wasn't too sure about that, but him and Chris were friends so maybe this would go well in the end.

"Alright then, but you better not be late!"

"I won't be. Now, can we go back to picking a place to eat?"

...

The afternoon came and Cassie and Quana met up where Chris had invited them too, however, Chris was late and Hayate had shown up around the same time Keris did. So now they were all just waiting on Chris.

"Chris invited you, but is keeping you waiting? Maybe we should just leave already." Hayate said.

"No, I think he'll be here." Cassie said.

"Even if he does he's still late," Hayate crossed his arms, "That's something a girl shouldn't want in a guy." Who said I wanted him?

"See, this is why I said we should just go without him." Quana said.

"You'd say that even if he was here." Keris said.

"Yeah! I'd hate to ruin my day by seeing him." Hayate laughed at Quana's comment.

"Way to talk shit behind my back." Hayate turned to see Chris approaching them.

"You know I'm naturally this blunt, I'll tell it to you again if you'd like." Hayate said.

"I second that." Quana said. Chris turned away from them both and focused on Cassie.

"I swear the only person I want in my life is you Cassie." He clung to her causing Cassie to try and remove him from her arm.

"Come on Chris we're in public."

"Yeah and PDA is my specialty." Hayate got between them and managed to get Chris off her.

"We're supposed to be out here on a date and right now it just looks like you and her just got married." Keris said. Without another word Hayate grabbed Cassie's hand and began to drag her off. Come on, not you too!

"Hey!" Chris said, running after the pair. Quana and Keris looked to one another and just sighed.

...

This group date turned into Hayate and Chris competing to see who could get Cassie's attention the most, and even after bringing it up, the males insisted they were just playing around. Quana sat resting her head on her hand at the table, Keris just held back some laughter as Cassie sat between Hayate and Chris with the look of pure terror on her face.

"Come on you guys, whatever the hell this was supposed to be turned into a boring night!" Quana complained.

"Yeah. It's late, maybe we should just-"

"No, we didn't get dessert Cassie. I heard there's this new cake shop nearby." Hayate said.

"Cake?" Hayate glared at Chris, "Forget that, we should just go to a convenience store and get a bag of candy!" Quana said.

"I really appreciate the gesture but-"

"See? She doesn't do that. So the cake shop it is." Hayate said.

"She'd want something to snack on over time." Chris and Hayate got up and began to pull Cassie.

"You know, you could ask us?" Keris spoke up. Cassie glared at her, You couldn't have said something before? Keris smiled at her look, but went on. "If anything, I personally think Cassie would want some candy." Hayate smiled at her.

"Screw that. It's bad enough I barely got anything out of this, if I'm gonna be here any longer, than I at least want something tasty to eat for a while and candy isn't good enough." Quana went over to Hayate's side essentially making Cassie the last deciding factor in what they did.

"So, what do you say Cassie?" Keris said with a devious tone in her voice. Cassie wished looks could kill, but she knew she couldn't answer.

"Uh... well I-I don't mind either way." Chris just smiled at her and reached out to touch her cheek.

"You're always so sweet to us, but if you can't decide we'll just do it for you." Cassie's mouth opened but Chris went on. "We're getting candy!" Chris grabbed Cassie and ran out as quickly as he could.

"He did that on purpose!" Hayate ran out after them, Quana and Keris calmly left out.

"Why'd you pick sides like that anyways?" Quana asked.

"Oh, because I wanted to see what would happen. I knew she would just stay in the middle, but I didn't expect Chris to do that."

"Well either way I'm getting some cake now and I'm sure Hayate is going to beat him up. This will double the good night if that happens!" Quana then ran off, Keris simply smiled and calmly walked to meet up with the rest of them.
