"So...what shall we all do?" asked Darren.
"Let's go to a club! I need to meet some guys!" Laney said.
"What do you call us?" Zach asked pointing to himself and Darren.
"I call you…um…I don't call you anything. You're Zach and Darren, that's pretty much it!"
"Well fine then! What club should we go to?"
"I don't wanna go to a club. Look at what I'm wearing, I look fat in this outfit!" Nick said, pretending to be female.
"You're right Nick, you do look fat. You're the next white whale, Moby Nick," Megan said teasing him. Everybody laughed at the corny joke.
"Dang, I really just shouldn't talk, it seems everybody's on my case tonight." Nick sulked making a sarcastic sad puppy face.
"Oh, Nicky, you know I'm just joking!" said Megan as he nodded smiling again.
"So, where should we go?"
"Well…there aren't any good clubs on this side of town!" said Nick.
"How would you know? You're too young to get in," joked Darren.
"No I'm not…I have been to a few clubs! The ones on the other side of town are really cool. The ones over here are places where old fogies hang out, ya know, people your age!" Nick ridiculed.
"If we went to one on the other side of town it would take a while to get there so we would have a lot less time to dance. Let's go to one on this side of town," suggested Zach.
"Awe..." Nick whined.
"Nick, if you want we can do something else," Megan said.
"Yeah, let's definitely do something else. Last thing I wanna do is pick up a woman that's YOUR age!" he said pointing to Riley and Laney.
"Whatever Nick, you're just afraid you're not gonna be able to get in with that cute little baby face of yours!" Laney teased.
"Well, guys, instead of fighting here in front of a movie theater and wasting our precious dancing time, let's go!!!" whined Riley.
"Ok, we're off," Darren said climbing into the car.
"Bye, guys! See ya later!" yelled Nick and Megan.
"Bye," they shouted as they pulled away.
"So, Nicky, where would you like to go? How 'bout the beach?" Megan suggested.
"Ya know what, that's not a bad idea! Why don't we go out for a ride in my boat?"
"I thought you only take your girlfriends for moon lit boat rides?"
"Yeah, but I make exceptions sometimes!" he said sending her a smile.
They walked to the parking lot, got into Nick's car, and went to the dock.
