"Violet." Gerard whined while walking into the living room.

"What?" I asked with a giggle.

"Mikey wants us to go on a date with him and Pete." He complained and plopped on the couch.

"Okay...so?" I questioned and raised an eyebrow at him.

"I don't want to." He replied in a 'duh' tone and looked at me.

"Oh so you don't want to go on a date with me? I see how it is." I pouted crossing my arms.

"Ugh you're so complicated woman! You wanna go on a date?" He exclaimed and threw his arms up.

"No." I smiled smugly.

"Then why the-" He started but I cut him off.

"I'm kidding! Of course I wanna go on a date! When do I need to be ready?" I asked and took my feet off the coffee table.

"We're leaving the house in thirty minutes." He smirked knowing it takes me at least an hour to get ready.

"What!? Thanks Gee for the warning!" I exclaimed rushing off the couch and into the bathroom.

"No problem princess!" He exclaimed back.

"One small caramel coffee with extra cream please." I said to the coffee shop worker and took dollar bills out of my wallet.

"Okay that'll be two dollars and twenty-five cents and what's your name?" She asked

"Violet." I replied and she wrote my name on the cup. I handed her my money and waited by the waiting area where many people were bundled up waiting for their drinks.

"What'd you get?" Gerard asked wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"Just the usual, you?" I replied and looked at him.

"Hot chocolate for me." He retorted and looked back at me.

"Wow the coffee addict got hot chocolate?" I chuckled softly.

"You don't have much room to talk, Miss I drink coffee twenty-four seven." He said and removed his arm from my shoulder.

"Shut up." I giggled as the worker shouted my name. I grabbed my cup and thanked the lady. I sat down where Mikey and Pete sat while waiting for Gerard. Once Gerard got his drink we all headed outside and drank our drinks.

"Princess." Gerard said.

"Ha princess!" Pete laughed.

"Babe!" Mikey exclaimed and hit Pete's arm softly.

"What it's just a funny nickname." He said in defense and put his hands up but his right having his coffee. I just giggled softly to myself and watched the idiots just argue.

"Anyways! Princess what would you like to do today?" Gerard asked taking a sip of his drink.

"But it's our date too." Mikey pouted.

"Shh...Violet." Gerard smiled.

"Uhm...let's go to the movies?" I asked and looked at Pete and Mikey for a response.

"That's so cliché!" Pete exclaimed.

"So you have a better idea?" I inquired and looked at him in a smug way. He just bit his lip and stayed silent. "Exactly."

                             • • •

After the movie it was officially dusk and after minutes of the guys argueing what we should do next they seddled on going to the beach...cliché I know. "So Pete what was that about the movies being cliché?" I asked as we headed to the beach

"Shut up, I thought you would make us go see a romantic movie." He fought back.

"Ew, gross no." I answered and scrunched up my face

"That's my girl." Gerard replied holding my hand. My phone then started to ring, I picked it up to see it was Frank calling.

"Hello?" I asked into the phone.

"Violet did you take money out of my wallet again?" He sighed, I could hear the irritation in his voice. I saw Gerard look at me with a facial expression of disappointed but proud.

"Pfft no." I lied and tried not to laugh.

"Mhm we're talking about this later." He hummed.

"Whatever dad, bye." I giggled and hung up.

"Violet you didn't take money out of his wallet again did you?" Gerard asked and looked at me with disappointment.

I then took out my wallet that held four ten dollar bills that belonged to Frank. "Unless it just so happens that I have an extra forty dollars then yes I took some of that lil shit's money."

"You're evil." Mikey budded in.

"You all still love me though." I smiled and stuck out my tongue.

                             • • •

We got to the beach and walked along the sand near the water. "And when I though this double date couldn't get anymore cliche, we're having a long 'romantic' walk on the beach." I smirked

"Wait would you rather do?" Pete asked.

"This could take all night." I smiled.

"You guys are so negative." Mikey pointed out.

"Sorry I'm just saying." I stated while standing over the water. Soon enough I was in the freezing cold water. I looked up to see a smirking Gerard and Mikey, I looked to my right to see Pete also in the water.

"You are dead Ways!" Both Pete and I shouted as he ran after Mikey and I ran after Gerard. Once we caught up to them we gave them a hug and not to be nice actually the opposite. We talked, walked some more, until we got tired and headed home. It didn't go as bad as expected...
