     Katelyn was finally feeling better. After a week or two of headaches a terrible head cold, and lots of soup and medicine, Katelyn was beginning to feel like herself again.

     She was surfing the Internet, and discovered Caramelldansen while looking through MMD animations. Aphmau, hearing the music, decided to join Katelyn. She barged into the room and started dancing.

     "What the-," Katelyn sputtered, as Aphmau began trying to get her to do the dance too. Aphmau was in the middle of the hand-flapping motion when Katelyn gave in. "Fine, I'll try it."

     Katelyn was a quick learner. After three tries, Aphmau had taught her the dance. As they tried to get the end of the dance down, Zane walked in. He blinked, as Aphmau started laughing, trying to figure out what was going on.

     "Aren't you gonna ask us what we're doing?" Katelyn asked, pausing the MMD video.

     "Frankly, I don't care. Besides. I'm probably better off," Zane retorted, scrolling through his messages. "If you don't mind, we have a bigger problem. Look at this."

     Katelyn grabbed Zane's phone and looked at it. She began reading. "Zane, make sure you make more friends! You need to branch out more! So... What's the problem, Zane? It looks fine to me. Your mom's right, you need more friends."

     "Ugh, no," Zane groaned, scrolling down a bit more. "Now look! Do you see it now? Read it. Aphmau, don't block Katelyn..."

     Aphmau grabbed the phone and began giggling. Then she read, "Zane! I was talking to Eric! Katelyn's dad? Why? Eh, let's continue. He told me some interesting news, yo! Why didn't you tell me... You... Had... A... Girlfriend... Oh, Zane, Katelyn? Good luck with that..."

     "Oh no!" Katelyn groaned. She fretted, "I JUST got better, are you guys trying to kill me? Don't get me wrong, Zane's mom is GREAT, but... Seriously? Now?"

     "Tell me about it," Zane groaned, snatching his phone back. "AND, look at this. SHE'S COMING WITH YOUR DAD, TOO! AND APHMAU'S MOM!"

     "Oh no," Aphmau groaned. She and Katelyn looked at each other grimly and both sighed, "Baby pictures... Zane, you too!"

     "I know," Zane snorted, glaring. He gave his phone a venomous look. "But that's not the worst part. She wants us all to go on a dinner together! And you know how well that turned out last time..."

     "Michi won't dare," Katelyn assured Zane. "She already did, and at this point, we're pretty much old news."

     "Old news doesn't make us unshippable," Zane muttered. He turned a reddish color. "Not that I want to be shipped! I-"

     "You just said the words, 'I want to be shipped,' you little nugget!" pronounced Aphmau victoriously. She began laughing and jumped up and down. "Hahaha! Shh, you said it!"

     "You walked into that one," Katelyn told Zane, smiling. She sat down at her desk, and checked her own chats. "But we ARE pretty much unsinkable. In all seriousness though... The dinner."

     "I think you guys will be fiiiine," Aphmau said breezily, flopping onto Katelyn's bed. "You guys are actually dating, and... We'll all be there! What's the worst that c-"

     "Shhh!" Katelyn shushed. "Whenever anyone says that, we always find out. We'll just... Do dinner, then. Simple. And come home. No problem. No. Stinking. Problem."

     "Kawaii-chan wants to help!" Kawaii-chan squealed from the doorway as the door swung open. "She heard Zane-kun and Katelyn-sama talking about the dinner! Kawaii-chan can make sure this dinner goes perfectly!"
