Johnny and Irene were weaving through the crowds and managed to arrive at the movies on time. Irene looked around with a worried expression on her face. "What's the time? I hope we aren't too late." They both looked around, when Johnny spotted Matthew inside the building. He waved and gestured to his kids to come in.

Johnny smiled and gently turned Irene's head to he direction of the window. "Guess we are on time." He said with a chuckle. Irene spotted her dad and smiled. They both walked in and met up with Matthew. He chuckled. "I'm assuming that this morning you had fun?"

"You could say that." Johnny replied, giving Irene a side hug. Irene smiled. "Well, not just us. Everyone in the group back at the theater did. We had a little dance party." She said, while dancing a bit to the music still stuck to her head. "And you should have seen Johnny dancing! He was awesome! Especially when he was dancing with Ash."

"Ash? You mean the porcupine who sung with Clay Calloway?" Matthew asked.

Irene nodded with a smile, while Johnny froze. He didn't know why but he suddenly felt embarrassed when Irene brought it up to his dad. He felt a sense of heat rising on his face.

"Is she his girlfriend?" Matthew asked. "Because I would be more than happy to see my son with a girl. I do need grand kiddos now while I'm still young."

And right at that moment, Johnny wished that the earth and the floor would swallow him whole. Irene noticed and tried not to laugh at his reaction, his face turning a beet red. After regaining her composure, she immediately said, "No. Um, Ash is just a friend and Johnny's just not exactly looking for anyone at the moment so..." She gestured to the movie posters where different films were being shown with her head. "How about we just look for a movie to watch. huh?"

Irene started to walk to the posters and looked through movies, Matthew following her, not wanting her to go alone. Johnny released the breath he was holding and followed them. He sure owed Irene one. 

They managed to pick a funny adventure movie with Dwayne the "Rhino" Johnson and Kevin Hart, a brown bunny comedian actor. After they watched and laughed, they went for ice cream. While they were on their way and got their ice creams from the ice cream parlor, Matthew and Johnny learned more about Irene.

"So, what we've known about you so far is: You like to play hand drums and regular drums, you don't dance well to other types of music except Latin American, your 16 and you like to watch shows that are a total complete different language." Johnny said and scooped a spoonful of rocky road ice cream into his mouth.

Irene laughed. "Yeah, I can't help it. By the way you put it, I think it might be torture some for you Johnny." She said teasingly, pointing her spoon at Johnny.

"Hey, I keep an open mind!" He teased back. Irene rolled her eyes then ate some of her chocolate raspberry ice cream with peanuts and sprinkles.

"Is there anything else we need to know?" Matthew asked, while eating vanilla ice cream.

Irene nodded. "I like to cook, knit, sculpture, and listen to Audiobooks. Preferably action. But I also like to go biking time to time. Oh, and play soccer." She added, then took another spoonful of ice cream. A small chunk fell on the table and Irene noticed the mess. "Oh, crumbs. I'll be right back!" She said, then stood up. Matthew and Johnny nodded, then they turned to face each other and chat.
