Niall's POV:

"NIALLLLLL!!!!!!"

I tried to make a run for it but I was yanked back. Soon I was underneath four heavy lads.

"Why'd you say that?", Harry smacked my arm.

"I'm sorry. I was just messing around"

"Well, now we have to make an amazing date", Lou stared at me with cold eyes. I scratched my head, trying to come up with a good idea. We sat there for a good ten minutes thinking.

"I got it!", I jumped up. The boys looked at me with wide eyes. "We can have rose pedals leading down the stairs and to the backyard. There we'll have four different tables with candles and each girls favorite food"

"Oh, we can have it at late night so then all of us can go for a late night swim in the pool", Zayn suggested.

"That sounds fantastic. But how're we gonna set this all up without the girls knowing?", Harry asked.

"We'll send them to the mall or something. They'll get it"

"It'll be tomorrow so they won't stay mad at us for long. We'll got to the store early in the morning tomorrow and get what we need. Deal?", I said looking at the boys.

"Deal!"

We discussed some more before heading off to bed. I walked into my room to find Kathy sound asleep in bed. I went over to her and kissed her forehead before slipping under the covers myself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning we met at the main door at five a.m. The store opened at four and the girls get up at seven.

"Lets go little Nialler", Lou said patting my back. I hardly got enough sleep so I was practically sleep walking. Zayn drove since he was the most awake out of us four.

"C'mom, lets get the tables and chairs first", Harry pointed to the back of the store. We got four round tables and two chairs for each of us. Then we got gifts for all of our girlfriends.

I got Kathy a charm bracelet that had all these american charms on it like the statue of liberty and the freedom tower. Harry got Christina a teddy bear that said 'I Wuv U'. Zayn got Perrie a necklace with a heart on it. And Louis got Em a vinyl of her favorite singer.

Once we got the gifts, we bought roses and candles for decoration along with some stuff we needed for the food. I paid the bill and the boys paid me back at home.

We got back home at 6:45, luckily no one was awake yet. After putting everything in the backyard, we decided to come up with the food we would cook. Right after we finished talking, the girls came downstairs.

Harry's POV:

"Good morning beautiful", I kissed Christina as she sat next to me. "Sleep well?"

"Yeah, I guess", she responded smiling at me.

"So, did you guys plan our date night?", Em asked.

"Yup, we just need you girls to be gone the whole day so we can get ready. Alright?", I explained.

"Fine, lets go girls", Kathy said getting up. Soon the girls left to who knows where.

"Alright, time to set up lads!"

We headed to the backyard and put the tables in place. Then we decided to clean the pool and make the yard look decent. That took us about an hour to mow the lawn, make sure the pool was clean, and a whole lot more of cleaning.

"Now lets go cook. Thats gonna take a real long time", I suggested. We weren't the best at cooking so we needed a good five to six hours.

I was making chicken and mashed potatoes, Christina's favorite. I cooked the chicken, only burning three of them. Oops.....

Then, Zayn's phone rang.

"It's Perrie! Shhhhh!", he yelled. We all stopped our cooking and Zayn put the phone on speaker. "Hey babe"

"Hi. Um, what time do we come home?"

"You guys can come at nine and then go get ready ok? By the way where are you?"

"This new mall across town"

"Oh ok, remember to buy new dresses girls"

"Ok we will. See you tonight! Bye"

"Okay, come on we got until nine. Chop, chop!", I said hurrying everyone up. I tried my chicken again, keeping a sturdy eye on it.

"By the way, where's Liam?", Louis asked looking up.

"I think he went somewhere with Lauren", Niall said raising his eyebrows. "He's taking her on a date tonight"

"Oooooooo", we all laughed. Liam is in way over his head. If he thinks having a girlfriend is easy, well he's in for a ride.

Five and a half hours later, we all finished our cooking successfully.

"Okay, lets talk about the cake now. We'll have a vanilla cake with colorful frosting on it", I said. All the girls loved vanilla cake. "I'll go get it", I volunteered. The boys nodded, giving me their share of the money. I jogged out to my car, quickly driving to the local bakery.

As I walked in, the smell of homemade bread and delicious pastries filled my nose.

"Harry!", Mrs.Crum said hugging me. She owned this shop and we usually buy a lot of stuff from here.

"Mrs.Crum, how are you?"

"Fine dear thank you. So what do you need? Bread?"

"No I need a cake. The lads and I are hosting a date night for our girlfriends and we need a vanilla cake with frosting of different colors", I explained to her.

"Like this?", she pointed to a cake in the freezer. I nodded and looked at her. "Here ya go. That'll be $15", she said handing me the box. (A/N: Sorry I put it in dollars. I'm not from the U.K.) I thanked Mrs.Crum and gave her the money.

I drove home and put the cake in the refrigerator so it doesn't melt. Then I headed back out to the backyard to find the pool filled with leaves and the boys soaking wet.

"What in the world happened?", I asked looking worriedly from the pool to the boys.

"Well, we were going to put the bag of leaves out front and we were carrying it past the pool. The bag ripped and all the leaves fell into the pool and so did we", Louis said pointing at Niall and him.

"Then how'd you get wet?", I asked Zayn.

"I have no idea", he shrugged trying to fix his hair. I rubbed my head and told the boys to change. After they came back, we cleaned the pool again and then cleaned the wet floors the boys left inside. This took us till 7, only two hours left to get ready.

We quickly set up the candles and plates before going to get ready.

Niall's POV:

I ran to my room and picked out a new white polo shirt Kathy bought for me and a pair of black skinny jeans. I slipped on my white sneakers and started to do my hair. By the time we all were done, it was 8:57. The girls would be back any second.

Since we didn't want the girls to see us, we left a note on the staircase saying 'Go get ready upstairs and when your done, come to the backyard'. We heard the door open at 9:05 and whispered voices before they went upstairs.

"Niall, get the roses", Zayn told me. I grabbed the two bouquets and started peeling the petals off fast. I threw them onto the stairs, leading a path to the backyard door. Outside, Harry and Zayn had covered the patio and lawn with rose petals as well. Louis put some in the pool and started the lights inside the pool to illuminate it in the dark night. We all had our food set on the tables with the candles lit. At ten thirty, the girls all walked down the stairs and to the backyard.
