Everyone was moving slowly.

Dan was laying down with no sound, and everything was moving slowly. Andy was freaking out around their dorm, throwing things across the room and pacing. Phil was playing video games on the TV, as Dan leant against him.

Dan knew everything was good now, Arin had won the case and his dad got sentenced to life in prison, but he couldn't stop thinking about it. Spencer went to live with his grandma and Arin was with him for the time being, helping him settle in. Arin had missed so much school this semester he'd have to retake a lot of classes over the summer.

Everything was going slow.

"I don't know what to wear! I'm not sure what she likes, like should I go casual, button down, cool guy, jock? Does she like my usual lesbian chiq? Should I wear this flannel? What if she hates guys in flannels like what am I supposed to do-"

"Andy." Dan interrupted with a roll of his eyes. "It's just a date. Calm down."

"I CAN'T CALM DOWN SHE'S WAY OUT OF MY LEAGUE, DANIEL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!" Andy shouted, and Dan's eyes widened as he'd never heard him shout before. It was kind of funny, if he was honest.

"Okay, um, okay. Sorry. I've never been on a date with a girl before so...I can't help you." Dan shrugged, and Andy sighed.

"Why are the two boys I have available for help literally too gay to help, but also not gay enough??"

Phil suddenly lost his game and cursed, tuning into the conversation as he handed Dan the controller. "Wait, what? What are we talking about?"

"Apparently we're too gay to help Andy because we don't like girls," Dan explained, and Phil furrowed his eyebrows.

"Dude, I've been on tons of dates with girls. Probably more than you, Andy." Phil said, and Dan laughed.

"Shit, I forgot you were a whore once."

Andy's mouth flew open. "Wait, seriously? So like, you know how to date girls? You can help?"

Phil rolled his eyes. "I'm great at this, Andy. Step aside."

Phil got up and looked at the mess that was Andy's clothes all over the floor, and kicked them around until he found what he wanted. "This simple short sleeve button down paired with these khaki jeans shall do the trick. And bow ties are cute, but not for this occasion." Phil said, sliding the one Andy had randomly on his neck in all the confusion off. "Wear your glasses too, not your contacts. Look comfortable with yourself. Also, don't freak out like this, you'll make her freak out because girls are smarter than us so if you're just this nervous ball of anxiety and fumbling she'll think she has to be the one to make the date not so terrible and silent, or that there's something wrong with her so like chill out, mkay?"

Andy took a deep breath. "Alright, thanks, Phil."

"No problem," Phil said, sitting back down as Andy migrated towards the bathroom to change and freshen up.

"Who's he going out with anyway?" Phil asked, sitting back down where Dan was focused and mashing buttons like a madman.

"Her name is Layla. She's really cool."

Phil's eyes widened. He knew Layla! She'd helped him find both Dan and Arin once.

"I think I know her, actually! If it's the same girl, she really is out of Andy's league."
