Tom loved joking with Dan. It was a bright spot in his day when the two cracked jokes at one another. It was all in good fun, and he and Dan both knew that.

Tom tuned back into the conversation he was having with Dan about Bonnie. He listened closely to how he described how he really felt about her. It was amazing how mushy guys could really get when they let their guard down. Tom would never reveal to anyone what Dan had told him, because there were just certain things that friends tell you and expect you to keep in the strictest of confidence. This was one of those things. The fact that he was so freely admitting his feelings meant that his job of teaching Dan how to act around Bonnie and girls in general might be a little easier than he had initially anticipated.

"I know how you feel, mate," Tom told Dan absentmindedly, not realizing what he had just said. He trusted Dan, he did, but as he had told Bonnie, he wanted Emma to be the first to know about his feelings. He smiled quickly to himself, then cleared his throat. "Well, I think you should tell her. Tonight. The girl is head over heels for you and she is just so scared to tell you," Tom told him. "Take my word for it, mate. Just lean in tonight and kiss her. Don't say anything. Just kiss her. I think she'd like that, and that way, you won't screw up anything by trying to talk to her first," he added, waiting for a reaction from Dan.

"But that's not my way, Tom. You know that. I trip over words constantly, but I could never just kiss her." Dan was nervous just talking about it. "Dont get me wrong, I want to kiss her. But I want to take the night as it comes. Maybe do the chivalrous thing and just give a 'goodnight kiss.' I think the dancing will ease things up quite a bit, too."

It was just then Dan registered exactly what it was Tom had said. "And I don't screw things up by talking. I landed you, didn't I?" Dan looked over at Tom, batting his eyes and smiling in way he figured was imitating of a young woman in love.

DracosDuchess · 01-25-2006, 12:22 AM

"You'd make a ghastly girl, mate, I hate to tell you," Tom said laughing. "And you didn't land me. No offense, but you're just not my type. I usually prefer, well, at least someone female. But seriously. You can do the gentlemanly thing, act really nice and polite during dinner, but when we go dancing, just kiss her on the dance floor. That would blow her away and she would be yours. I heard you talking to her on the set earlier. Trust me, you'd screw it up talking to her."

DeepMystyc · 01-25-2006, 12:48 AM

"Thanks, pal. I feel real good now. You're going to give me a complex, you know that? A ghastly girl...how am I supposed to put up my best when I'm not pretty?" Dan laughed with his friend.

"But you really think she likes me. I mean, she smiles at me a bit, and I've noticed she willing walks up to me when I'm alone...but she really likes me?" Dan pondered this. He had always thought Bonnie was just a considerate young lady, nice to everyone. "So, you think there was another reason than just math for her asking me over 30 minutes before all you guys?"

DracosDuchess · 01-25-2006, 12:57 AM

"Aw, mate, you really can't be that oblivious, can you?" Tom was amazed at how little Dan knew about what was going on around him. "Her smile is a permanent fixture on her face when she's around you, and it's like you two are attached at the hip if a scene's not being shot. And I know for a fact that the prosepect of studying math tonight is certainly not why she left the set as giddy as she did. She's told me she like's you. Just quit toruting her and kiss her already! That way, the rest of us can go on with our lives and quit wondering when you two are finally going to end up together. Besides, if you kiss her tonight, I'll win the bet," Tom said, winking at Dan.

Agos* · 01-25-2006, 12:57 AM

Bonnie stopped dancing and started to get dressed. She decided to put on some make-up cause she was really pale. she was feeling so nervous! she had butterflies in her stomach! It was about to be 7 o clock! just one hour to be next to Dan...
She wondered if Tom had already talked to him. She only had to wait and see...

James was already up when his brother woke up. they both had a bath and started dressing. they decided to go to a florist and buy a flower foe each of the ladies before going to Bonnie's. They were goofy, but real gentlemen..

DeepMystyc · 01-25-2006, 01:56 AM

"She does smile whenever I look at her..." Dan shot a harsh glance to Tom. "Wait...bet? What bet? Nobody told me about a bet..." Dan was thoroughly confused. "That's it...just because of you, I'm not going to kiss her. And if she tries to kiss me, I'll look away. I'll tell her you're the reason her heart got broke, too." Dan tried, but failed in hiding the smile on his face. "Now, do you really want that weight on your shoulders?"

Dan moved his eyes forward and noticed the car was almost to his street. He'd be leaving Tom's company soon. He checked his watch, about 515. Just enough time to eat something small, and get cleaned up. He still had some of the make-up caked on and his hair needed washing. He smiled to himself, starting to figuring out how the night would go. At least, how he wanted it to go.

ooc: the whole 515 idea is because the conversation between Tom and Dan is taking place as they're driving home from the set. DracosDuchess and I will hurry this along and catch up to your time quickly...promise.

DracosDuchess · 01-25-2006, 02:15 AM

"Whoa, slow down, I was only joking! Although, that would have been a good idea, I should have thought of it long ago. Coulda made a bundle," Tom said, more to himself than to Dan. He turned back to Dan and saw the puzzled look on his face. "There is no bet, I promise. Just please, kiss her tonight. On the dance floor, 'heat of the moment' kinda thing." Tom noticed that Dan's street was coming up soon, so he thought he'd better finish this conversation up.

"Alright, mate, I'll leave you with a few parting words of wisdom, seeing as how I'm older and more experienced than you when it comes to girls. Follow your heart. Always think about the girl and what will make her happy." Tom pulled into Dan's driveway. "Oh, and take a shower. Girls tend to prefer boys who don't wear make-up and look clean," Tom added with a grin.

DeepMystyc · 01-25-2006, 02:26 AM

"Thanks for that," Dan said. "Great encouragement. I know enough to shower. But, you have a point. The whole 'heat of the moment.' That's good. Come up with that all on your own?" Dan smiled as he opend the door of Tom's car. He climbed out and reached back for his bag. "I guess I'll see you in a few hours." He started to turn away, but turned back real quick. "You're picking up Emma...good luck with her, mate. Heat of the moment, ya know?" Dan winked. He had wondered if he had actually seen a hidden something special in Tom's eyes whenever he looked at Emma, but wasn't sure. The only thing he knew was that Tom had given him a hard time with girls, so he would return the favor. "I'll get your iPod back to you when you arrive. See you then."

DracosDuchess · 01-25-2006, 02:37 AM

Tom's heart stopped. Dan knew about Emma. How? He had tried so hard to keep it a secret, so how did he find out? Tom knew he just had to play it off.

"Emma? Hmmm. Er, don't know what you're talking about, mate." Tom stumbled over his words, tongue-tied at the mere thought of Emma. "I gotta go, though. I have some important errands to run before tonight. Good luck with Bonnie. I'll see you later at her house," Tom said hurriedly. He was just about to start backing out of the driveway when he looked back at Dan. He still had the prop glasses on.

"Hey, Dan!" Tom called out the window. When Dan looked back around at him, Tom just took two of his fingers on his right hand and pointed at his own eyes. He hoped Dan got the message. Laughing, he waved to Dan as he backed down the driveway and into the street, his mind running down the mental list he had made of things he must do in order to make tonight perfect for Emma. He just prayed it worked.

DeepMystyc · 01-25-2006, 02:56 AM

Dan looked at Tom for a moment. 'He's watching me?' he thought to himself seeing Tom point at his eyes. Dan just waved good-bye and tried to figure out what exactly Tom meant by that.

Dan entered his house. "Hey dad." His father was sitting in the front den. "Mum. I'm home, Tom gave me a ride." Dan found his mother back in the kitchen. "Hey, Bonnie needs some help with her math this evening, and then everyone is showing up for pizza and dancing. She asked me over at 8, and everyone is going to show up at 830." Dan reached into the fridge and grabbed an apple. Taking a bite, he turned back to his mother and asked, "is that ok?"

"Oh, hi honey. I was wondering why you hadn't called yet. Well, I was planning on making some chicken. But we can do that tomorrow." She smiled at him. "That was nice of you to volunteer to help."

"Yeah, well." He smiled at his mother. He didn't want to tell her his plan, besides, she had that 'motherly instinct' and always figured things out. "I have to go grab a quick shower and clean up." He tossed up his apple and caught it, smiled at his mother, and jolted up the stairs to his bed room.

"Umm, Daniel." his mother called up after him. "You planning on going to Bonnie's as Harry?" She chuckled softly to herself and just shook her head, knowing how often it had happened that he'd forgotten to take off the glasses before.

Dan wondered what his mother meant. He entered his room, threw his shoes on the bed and went to take off his shirt, but it got caught on his...glasses? Dan looked in a mirror, and sure enough, the glasses were sitting on the bridge of his nose. He laughed to himself and finished getting ready.

Agos* · 01-25-2006, 03:19 AM

oh my oh my oh my! it's just about time! Bonnie thought. She was already dressed in a beautiful white skirt and a soft pink shirt, which fit perfect to her body. Would Dan liked that? She decided to go and ask her mother. As every mother, she loved what her daughter was wearing and told her she looked like an angel. Previously, she had arranged with her mother that she wll study with Dan anywhere over the house, and when her mates arrived they could either go to the huge living room or just stay in the backyard. It was lovely out there. The garden was full of flowers, mostly roses. After speaking to her mom she went back to her room again and went straight to the computer. Maybe she could stop thinking about the incoming night. But she was sure that it was helpless..Dan was the only thing in which she could think of.

DracosDuchess · 01-25-2006, 04:33 AM

Tom finally pulled into his driveway. he had gotten all of his errands run and he was sure that this would be a night that Emma would remember for a long time. Or, at least he hoped it would be. He wasn't sure of Emma's feelings for him, but he was certain that he had fallen in love with her. Before Tom stepped out of his car, he double checked everything that he had gotten that afternoon, making sure that he had forgotten nothing. Finding that everything was in order, he picked up his packages and stepped out of his car and walked toward his house. Stepping inside, he took off his shoes and made his way upstairs to his bedroom, calling out a greeting to whoever else might be at home.

He loved his bedroom. It was his safe-haven away from the world. He shut the door and flipped his stereo on. He set his packages on the bed and looked at them. There was nothing expensive in the small pile, but the thoughts behind them were priceless. He looked at the clock sitting on the table beside his bed. It read 6:00. He had exactly one hour to shower and get ready before he had to pick Emma up at the studio at 7.

Tom walked into the bathroom that was connected to his bedroom. Next to his bedroom, this was probably his second favorite room in the house. He loved taking showers; he always felt refreshed and energized after one. Deciding that he would need a lot of energy that night, he turned the water on hotter than normal. While he let the water run to heat up, he stepped over to his sink to brush his teeth. He then stripped himself of the clothes he had been wearing all day and stepped into the warmth of the steamy shower he so desperately needed.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Wow, that was great." Tom thought to himself, stepping out of the tub and grabbing an soft, oversized black towel to dry off with. He wrapped it around his waist and stepped over to the mirror, which had fogged up from the hot steam of the shower. Tom opened the door that led to his bedroom and left it open to cool his bathroom down. He headed toward his closet. He loved to shop, and his closet packed with clothes of his favorite brands, especially DKNY, and his favorite designers, Armani and Versace. Tom stared for a moment at all of the choices that he had. He debated with himself and tried to picture the settings they would be in tonight. Bonnie's house, of course, would be casual, but whenever he went out, especially dancing, he liked to dress up a bit more. And, he wanted so bad to look his best for Emma. After many minutes of deliberation, Tom finally settled on his favorite black pants and black button-up shirt. He looked at his tie-rack. He had a lot of ties. He finally settled on a red one; it had seemed to call to him. Taking his clothes over to his bed, he set them down and walked over to his dresser to pull out a thin-white tank top to wear under his shirt, as well as a pair of black silk boxers and some black socks. He threw them onto his bed and made his way to his bathroom, which had finally de-fogged.

Ten minutes later, after shaving, Tom was finally ready to get dressed. He dropped his towel to the floor and pulled the clothes he had laid on the bed, and then slipped into a pair of black leather shoes on. He walked back into his bathroom so he could fix his hair. He preferred to keep it shorter and brown, but seeing as how they were filming, he had to keep it a bit longer and bleach-blonde. He liked it, and many of the girls seemed to, too. He brushed his fingers through his now-dry hair before picking up a bottle of gel and squeezing a small dollop into the palm of his hand. He rubbed it through his hair, just to tame it and make sure it stayed somewhat manageable through the night. He rinsed the residue of the gel off of his hands and reached for his bottle of Armani cologne. He splashed a little on his wrists and behind his ears. He then stepped back and admired his reflection in his full-length mirror. Tom liked what he saw - a suave, sophisticated young man staring back at him. The mirror, however, didn't show the knots his stomach was in, or the butterflies flying around. It didn't show the huge lump in his throat or the nervous thoughts speeding through his head. On the outside, he seemed cool and smooth. On the inside, he was a nervous wreck.

Tom stepped back out into his bedroom and looked at the clock. 6:35. He had 25 minutes to get to the studio to pick Emma up, and he still had one more errand that he had to run. Grabbing his coat, cell phone, keys, wallet, and some mints, he flipped off the light and ran down the stairs. He found his mother in the kitchen.

"Hey, Mom." Tom said, walking over to her and giving her a peck on the cheek.

"Hey, sweetie. What are you so dressed up for?"

"Well, Bonnie's invited a bunch of us to her house tonight for pizza and then we're going to go dancing later. I won't be home til late, probably midnight or 1. I'm going to pick Emma up right now. Is that alright?" Tom asked, knowing his mother would have absolutely no problem.

"Emma, huh?" his mother began, smiling. There was a twinkle of knowing in her eyes. Tom had never mentioned his feelings for Emma to her, but as a mother, she probably knew. "Sure, honey, just call if you need anything or are going to be any later. Your father and I are going to stay up late tonight and watch some movies. If we're not awake when you get home, I'll see in you in the morning. Have fun!" Tom's mother told him, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. "I love you. And be careful!"

"Love you, too, Mom. And I'll be careful. I'll see you tonight or tomorrow. Bye!" Tom called, running out the door. He unlocked his car, started it up, turned on the stereo, and backed out the driveway. One errand later, he was pulling into the parking lot of the studio at 6:55. He was early, so he parked and waited for the familiar sight of Emma's mother's car.

OOC: The kissing scene has been postponed until the next day of shooting because the cameras were broken. Everyone has left the studio already and is going to Bonnie's house tonight at 8:30 to eat pizza and then we're all going dancing. You should join us!

Agos* · 01-26-2006, 12:59 AM

The twins were already prepared to go to Bonnie's. They went in their yellow New beattle to get the flowers and go to some places before. It was early to show up at his friend's house. They new Dab was going before them, so they didn't want to interrupt any conversation between them.

DracosDuchess · 01-26-2006, 01:16 AM

Tom didn't know why he had come to the studio to pick Emma up, but it occurred to him a minute after he pulled in that he was supposed to pick Emma up at her house. He only had 4 minutes to get there if he was going to be on time, but she lived 10 minutes away. Tom guessed it was time to really see what his BMW could do. Luckily he knew some shortcuts to Emma's house from the studio, some less-traveled roads. Tom started the car immediately and sped out of the parking lot and started towards Emma's house.

On the trip over there, Tom cursed himself because he was going to show up late. He didn't want Emma to think that he'd forgotten her. Quite the opposite, actually. Ever since she announced that she could go out with them tonight, he had thought of nothing but her (not that this was a big change from his normal day-to-day thoughts). He really hoped that she enjoyed herself tonight. He hoped that she felt the same about him as he did her. He hoped he could treat her as she should be treated - like a queen. Tom looked at the clock. 7:01. He was only a minute late, but it was a minute lost forever that he should've been with her. It was a minute he could not get back. Anguished at the thought of losing any more time with Emma, Tom stepped on the gas and sped up. He could see her street approaching, and he quickly turned onto and into her driveway. 7:03.

Tom quickly shut his door behind him and jogged up to the front step of Emma's house. He rang the doorbell and anxiously waited for someone to answer.

OOC: So sorry Hermia! I had a blonde moment and didn't read all of your most recent post, so I was still thinking back to the conversation at the studio when you said that you'd meet everyone there at 7!

DeepMystyc · 01-26-2006, 01:21 AM

Dan finished his shower, and dried off. He walked back into his bedroom and turned on some music. For tonight, he had chosen The Strokes. He opened his closet and considered his clothing. Dan wanted something natural, but special. He wanted to look good for Bonnie, but at the same time, didn't want to act like someone else. Dan wanted to be completely Dan tonight, let Bonnie see the real him. He pulled on a nice pair of dark jeans, a vintage rock'n'roll t-shirt, and a gray blazer. He figured he'd save the blazer for the dance club, and just sit around in his jeans and t-shirt at Bonnie's. Something comfortable, yet special...it was his Sid Vicious shirt.

He brushed his teeth, combed his hair. He prefered his hair a bit shorter than Harry's. But since filming was going on, his hair was rather long, and a little harder to control. He considered putting some gel on it to make it managable, but decided against it. He was a sucker for having a girl run her fingers through his hair, and hoped Bonnie would take some inciative to play with his hair tonight.

He looked himself over in the mirror, and spritzed a bit of Victoria's Secret 'Very Sexy for Him' colonge on his shirt. What could he say, the scent made the ladies go crazy... Everything seemed to be in order. He went to turn off his music, and glanced at the clock. 715. He had taken longer than he wanted, but he still a little time to do what he needed. He grabbed Tom's iPod and sat down at his computer. He scanned through some of the songs he had downloaded, and made his decision. He plugged in Tom's iPod to his computer and transfered the file. His present for Tom was complete, and with a large smile on his face, he headed downstairs.

"Mum, I need a ride to Bonnie's, please. I'm pretty sure I can get a ride home from Tom or the twins."

"Ok, dear. Let me get my keys and shoes on." [b]He sat in the kitchen while he waited for his mother to return. He picked up a couple of grapes and popped them in his mouth, humming to himself.[/B] "Ready, Daniel?"

"Yeah." He jumped up and followed his mother to the car. Bonnie didn't live that far, but he was cutting it close with evening traffic and all. He tapped his fingers over his thighs in aticipation for the night.

The car pulled up to her house, and Dan leaned in to kiss his mother good-night. "I"ll call you if I can't get a ride home." He smiled at her, and opened the door to get out.

"Daniel," his mother called. "Don't forget manners, and" she winked at him, "girls love mints."

"Good night, mother." Dan laughed and waved to her as she drove away. Come to think of it, he did have mints in the coat pocket. He popped one in his mouth and trotted up to the Bonnie's door.

He chewed up the rest of his mint and swallowed. He reached out and rang the doorbell, and waited patiently for someone to open the door.

Agos* · 01-26-2006, 01:29 AM

Bonnie heard the bell when she had just finished to wash her teeth. She grabbed her perfume and spray herself with some of it before going downstairs and open the door.
She saw Dan. He was so gorgeous ! She huged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She slightly blushed and decided to control herself.
"Dan! thanks for coming and helping me with maths. I'm so glad you came. " Bonnie told him looking into his eyes." Come in please..."

DeepMystyc · 01-26-2006, 02:27 AM

Dan was happy to see it was Bonnie who answered the door. He smiled, almost had a stroke when she kissed him. It felt good, and he wanted to kiss her back, but kept to his plan. He felt his face burning red, and was relieved to see she blushed, too.

"Umm, thanks, Bonnie," he said as he stepped in the doorway. "No problem for the help. Glad to do it." he turned around and looked at her. She looked good. Her hair was done nicely and her shirt accented her eyes well. "Plus, I get a good night with you, I mean, all my friends." The word had slipped out before he could stop it. He smiled and floundered to find the next words to say. "Umm...where is this partying going down?" He tried desperately to sound like nothing had happened, but as he always did around girls (especially Bonnie) he failed miserably. "Well, I mean...where are we studying?"
