*STORY IN DESCRIPTION* When the rest of them had gone, Mrs. Jonas turned to Steffi and started talking. After insisting Steffi call her Denise, she relaxed and started bonding with Steffi. Throughout the day she kept Joe's 'special friend' company; they went shopping and to the beach, all the while talking about random subjects. Over lunch, Denise brought up the boys. Steffi blushed and, after a little prodding by Denise, told her story. She ended with, "And that's how I know them. It's everything. I've gone over this a thousand times in my head, and I still can't figure it out. Joe can be really sweet sometimes, but I don't think I'm ready for another relationship...am I?" Denise shook her head sympathetically and said, "Oh, sweetie, I can't decide that for you. Only you know when the time is right. I wish I could say something else...oh, wait, one thing. Since you have a thing for Joe, you should know...stay away from him after he's had more than 3 energy drinks. He's crazy!" Steffi laughed and shook her head. "I believe that." The rest of the day was spent enjoyably, and around dinner time the family and friends reunited. Kevin, Nick, Allie and Lucy were all glowing, but Joe was sulking. Steffi, after giving her friends a strange look, walked up to him. "Aw, what's wrong Joe?" He looked up and smiled. "Nothing's wrong, I've just been mentally scarred for life!" He shot the last part of his sentence at the two couples. Steffi, following his glare, suddenly understood. "Oh, no, they weren't all over each other the whole time were they?" she asked. Joe nodded. Steffi shook her head and turned to face the rest of the group. "Come on, Allie, I thought you swore off excessive PDA? Remember Kristin and Andrew and how awkward it was in freshman year? Think of what you put Joe through today." Allie rolled her eyes and said back, "So what, he seemed to be having a fine time by himself. He was always texting you anyways whenever I tried to talk to him." Joe rolled his eyes when Steffi gave Allie a blank look; she gasped, muttered "Oh, no," and whipped out her phone, finding she had a gizzilion messages from him. She made a face and looked up at Joe. "Sorry," she said sheepishly. Joe looked away and laughed quietly. "It's ok. How was your day with my mom?" "She's actually really cool. A great listener." "Really? So, what'd you talk about?" Steffi turned slightly red. "Just, um, girl stuff. Nothing you'd be interested in." Joe looked at her suspiciously, but took the hint and dropped the subject. Unknown to the two of them, Denise and the rest of the group had been watching the conversation. At this, Lucy and Allie glanced over at Denise, who smiled and whispered she would fill them in the next day. After a pleasant family dinner, the girls left and returned to their house. Even though Allie and Lucy had been careful to hide the party preparations, they both breathed a sigh of relief when Steffi went directly to her room to think about her day. Back at the boys' house, Kevin filled in his mom on how the preparations were coming for the party and exactly what needed to get done the next day with Allie and Lucy. Meanwhile, Nick and Joe were planning a day of excitement far far away from where their mom, Lucy and Allie would be. SO...NOW DENISE KNOWS EVERYTHING. THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING. WILL ALLIE AND LUCY PULL THIS BIRTHDAY PARTY OFF? OR WILL ONE OF THE GUYS CRACK TOMORROW? EXACTLY HOW FAR AWAY ARE NICK AND JOE GOING TO MAKE THEIR OUTING? WILL DENISE HIT IT OFF AS WELL WITH THE REAL GIRLFRIENDS AS SHE DID WITH THE 'JUST FRIEND'?
