"I'm gonna worry about you either way Peter. Not knowing, I'm gonna worry because you keep disappearing and ditching me coming home with bruises. And now knowing I'm gonna worry because a giant lizard did this to you. Basically either way I'm gonna...
At school Peter tried talking to Madeline but she would just walk off because she knew he wasn't going to say anything she wanted to hear.
"You two are still not talking?" Gwen walks up to her.
"Yes, last night we had an argument." Maddie sighs, opening her locker.
"Well my mom wanted to know if you wanted to come over for dinner. She's making branzino. You should really come over. If Peter is gonna be a crappy friend to you at least your cousin can become your new best friend." She laughs.
"Sure, I'll come over for dinner." Gwen gets happy. "Alright see you tonight." Gwen walks off then sees Peter so she rushes after him.
"Hey. How's it going?" He asked her.
"Where are you headed?" She asks him, coming up with a way to make him and Maddie make up.
"Uh, Monday, B track." He takes out his earbuds.
"Oh, it's Thursday. Umm do you like branzino? Like, a fish." She asks him. "Well, if you want, you can come to this address at, uh, 8:00 tonight. My mom's making branzino. Oh and I forgot it's apartment 2016. I forgot to write that part down. See you there." Gwen smiles, hoping that he and Maddie will fix their friendship at dinner.

Later during the day Peter was first to show up at Gwen's place. "You made it." She smiles, opening the door for him to come in.
"Your doorman is intimidating." He steps into the room.
"Yeah, Maddie said the same when she came over for the first time." Gwen brings her up.
"You two are getting close?" He asks.
"Yeah, I guess you haven't heard w-," She's cut off by her dad.
"You must be Peter. Gwen said you would be joining the family tonight." Peter nods his head then shakes his hand. "Dinner is ready but we're waiting on Maddie." George tells them then walks away.
"Maddie's coming over too?" Peter looks at Gwen.
"I thought if I could get you to come tonight you both could make up." She explains to him.
"I've been trying all day to say sorry but she won't listen to me." Peter sighs.
"Because you won't tell her the truth and you are worrying her. She cares so much about you and you are keeping her in the dark." Gwen says as there was a knock so Simon runs to the door letting Maddie in. As soon as Madeline sees Peter she turns to leave.
"No, you two will talk this out after dinner." Gwen grabs her, pulling her inside, shutting the door.
"Maddie's here!" Simon tells everyone as they walk into the dinning room.
"You're just on time Maddie." Helen smiles as they all take a seat.
"Take my seat." Gwen takes the middle seat so I had to sit across from Peter.
