"I'm just gonna have Zach pick me up here because it's easier," Aria mutters, walking back into the kitchen in a new outfit. She had a feeling that Tori was gonna drag her here after school so she packed an outfit for tonight before she left her house this morning.

"Sounds good, are you all ready?" Tori teases while mixing another batch of cupcake mix. The girls along with Joey and Marie have made two batches of cupcakes so far and have four more to go. "I'm so excited for you, you have to tell me everything when you get home."

"Well, he's dropping me off back here because my car's here so you get all of the details live!" Aria replies, pushing a piece of hair behind her ear. The doorbell ringing grabs everyone's attention. Aria rushes to the door, swinging it open to reveal Daniel. "Seavey."

"Aria," Daniel replies, catching her off guard. "Yes, I know your name."

"Which one of them told you?" Aria asks, leaning against the opened door. "And why are you here?"

"I am here because we are joining you and Zach on your date, Zach is very nervous so he wanted to make it a double date," Daniel answers before slapping his hand over his mouth. "I wasn't supposed to tell you that."

"I mean I would've found out when you two were in the god damn car with us but okay," Aria laughs, opening the door and stepping aside so Daniel can enter. "Does Tori know about this?"

"I mean I wrote it in my note but I don't know if she read it or not," Daniel responds as Aria shuts the door. Aria leads the way to the Uris' kitchen, a grin on her face knowing that Tori did not read the note.

"Who was at the door?" Tori asks, not bothering to look up from the cupcake she was currently frosting. Her hair was a mess from the ponytail she had originally put it up in and there was a small amount of flour on the top of her head. When she looks up after receiving no answer, Tori almost drops the icing bag onto the cupcake below her. Luckily, Marie manages to catch it just in time. "Why are you here?"

"Did you not read my note?" Daniel questions, Aria moving over to begin icing cupcakes once more. "We're joining them on their date because Zach's nervous."

"So is Aria, " Tori laughs, not really knowing what to say next. "But I can't go, I have to make cupcakes for Joey's bake sale."

"What, are you the Pillsbury dough boy or something?" Daniel jokes, one eyebrow raised in amusement. "Hi, Mrs. Uris!"

"Is that little Daniel Seavey? I haven't seen you in years! How's your mom doing?" Marie exclaims, a grin stretching across her face. The doorbell rings once more, Aria putting the icing bag down again to go and answer it.

"It's me," Daniel chuckles, his hands awkwardly in his back pockets. "My moms doing good."

"That's good," Marie says as Aria and Zach enter the kitchen area. "Tori, go, have fun!"

"But the cupcakes," Tori pouts, trying her very hardest to get out of going.

"You know, brownies would have been easier," Zach mumbles, cowering behind Aria once Tori glares at him. "I'm just saying from experience, it's what my mom does for Reese and Ryan."

"Zach, did I ask for your input?" Tori sweetly asks, a fake smile on her face. When Zach slowly shakes his head no, she nods. "Then don't tell me it."

"Joey and I can handle the cupcakes, go have fun!" Marie cuts in, basically ripping the apron off of the blonde's body. "You're a teenager so go on a date!"

"Yeah, with your boyfriend," Joey sings, waltzing into the kitchen with a lazy grin on his face. "I can't believe you two managed to get boyfriends."
