Disclaimer: Owning the show and the responsibility that come with that? No thanks. I just write fanfiction instead.

Digg's moving the last couch into its new position, with Sara's help, arranging it around the entertainment system Nyssa had constructed when he hears the doorbell. Nyssa's head pops up from behind the TV where she's putting the final touches on the wiring, like she sense's an attack.

"Baby, can you get that!" Lyla calls from the kitchen, her hands are busy carrying multiple bowls of buttery popcorn. Sara's head pops around the kitchen wall, where she's now gone to help Lyla, "It's just the doorbell Nyssa." Anticipating Nyssa's reaction with a practiced ease.

Digg calls back a yes and lets Roy and Thea in. Directing Thea and her armful of filled to the brim shopping bags to the kitchen to organise the rest of the snacks with Lyla and Sara.

Digg finds Roy staring open mouthed at the three screens set up Nyssa has managed, "where'd you even find these?"
"What you don't know, Mr. Harper, will not do you any harm." Nyssa pops up from behind the setup, finished with her wiring. Just as the other ladies emerge carrying trays filled with snack foods. After setting them down, Lyla curls up with Digg a hand coming up to rest over her belly. "Is the feed working?"
Nyssa switches the screens remotely to the incoming feed, taking her seat in the arm chair beside Sara's. Thea, sitting on the love-seat lets go of Roy's hand to clap her own together, "curtains up, time for the show."

"You kept the notes from the meeting right? Accounting is going to grill me."
"Left them on your desk for Monday Oliver."
"Thanks, you're way to the Italian place right? I still can't believe Roy's skipped out of dinner."
"Roy bailed?"
"He's helping Thea at Verdant in the afternoon and can't get a ride, he'll be in the lair all night.
"We'll that's everyone out then."
"What do you mean everyone? Who else dropped out?"
"Everyone else, Digg has baby thing to do with Lyla and apparently Nyssa and Sara... Well I didn't want details." Considering one of them was his ex, he really didn't want to ask for an excuse.

There's a silence that falls over the line then Felicity, "I'm offended, how stupid do they think I am?"
"They're setting us up?" Oliver catches on with a stuttering cough, "how stupid do they thing WE are you mean right?"
A giggle from Felicity's end. "Yeah, sure."
Over the line he can hear Felicity laughing, "What?"
"It's our chance to do the Friends thing!"
"The what?"
"Oh come on Oliver that was a pre-island pop culture reference!" She sighs. "No? Nothing…" Silence from Oliver's end explains a lot, "They don't know that we know! So now the messer becomes the messee! Our turn for a little fun."
"Did you have something in mind Felicity?"
"Yes, I'll explain quickly cause it'll have to be set up before we get to the restaurant. Sara snuck out with some camera's a couple of nights ago, now I think I know why."

Roy had gone to the bathroom, announcing his return with "I don't want to miss a second!" He is quickly seated, just as Oliver and Felicity's cars enter the camera view. They watch on as the two meet each other halfway. Felicity had played ambassador for the company at a proposal earlier so Oliver hadn't seen her all day. He must of missed her.
Wide eyed Thea was the quickest, kind of, "Did they just..."
Lyla turned to Digg "Was that a for real hug?"
Digg nods in response "Those are rare."
"Nyssa, we're so going to win tonight!"

The couple progresses into the restaurant and they are seated almost immediately, Thea knows why, "The Queen family name," she explains. At a good table too, Oliver and Felicity sit right near a window away from anything like the bustle of the entrance, the swing of the kitchen door and the smell of the bathrooms. Roy throws in a sarcastic "Fancy."

They start their dinner without a problem, Oliver is a gentleman, pulling out her seat, getting settled only after she has. They have some time before the server brings menu, so they talk. Mostly the gang sees Felicity talking, and Oliver sitting there listening. "Look at his face, they're adorable" comments Lyla. When the menus come Oliver seems to order the wine, another camera angle shows Felicity's grateful smile and when the waiter leaves taking both their wine order and meal requests with him. Both lean in to towards the middle and begin talking Felicity is animated like she's explaining something.

Slowly, however, Oliver's smile drops. Felicity becomes less animated. Oliver is quick to reply, but then he's cut off by the waiter. He sits back and takes a deep breath while Felicity sits stiffly, brow furrowed. Surprisingly it's Nyssa that catches on first, "It appears Mr. Queen has touched a nerve."

The team watches the couple lean toward each other once more after their wine has been poured and the waiter has left. Except this time eyes are narrowed, Felicity's movements are much sharper and include much more pointing. Oliver's hands are curled into fists on the table until Felicity stills. Then he crosses them over his chest and leans back. Neither of them talk, they're not keeping any eye contact either. Felicity has rolled hers and is currently looking anywhere but at her partner. Oliver's are stubbornly pointed down, like a sulking child.

"What just happened?" Silence is the only reply Thea gets. Apparently everyone in the apartment is just as confused as she is.
Till Roy's eyes widen, "Oh... Will."
"Will?" Thea prompts her boyfriend, while all the other heads in the room swivel in his direction.
"Felicity mentioned a Will, like the other day. Met him in a coffee shop or something."
"She never mentioned that to me, we had a girl's night like two days ago." Sara says, while Lyla nods in agreement.
"She told me yesterday." Roy shakes his head. "Maybe it was nothing."
"It's not nothing if that's what they're arguing over," Diggle can't read lips but he recognises the signs. This has happened before. The slightest mention of Barry and Oliver used to tense up so much that even his walking became stiff.

Meanwhile the couple on the screen had their entrees sitting untouched in front of them. Felicity was looking at Oliver again but the Team knew that look far too well. Even Sara cringed. That look was almost as piercing as the loud voice that followed without fail. A few seconds after, Felicity discreetly pulls out her phone, fingers flying lightning fast over her phone screen, a beep comes from Roy's phone.

At restaurant on corner of Main St and York. Giving Digg a break. Spare keys to my Mini, under keyboard. Come pick me up. Please.

"She wants out already? Their meal hasn't even arrived" Sara exclaims. The situation worsens while Roy text Felicity back, telling her he's on his way.
"Ms. Smoak is not happy at all."
"Yeah we're probably not winning tonight after all."

It is almost as if Sara's jinxed herself. By the time mains come around Oliver seemingly has steeled himself. He looks up long enough to say something short. Felicity's loud voice never comes, her lips don't move.

Without another word Felicity stands, grabbing her wine glass she gulps down its entire contents, before she reaches for Oliver's glass. She doesn't down his glass' contents. Instead its contents just end up all down the front of his shirt, after dripping off his face.
The team's eyes track Felicity as she walks away, from one screen to the next, following her figure go storming out of the restaurant. Roy pulls up, just as she reaches the road. He's taking her 'back' to Verdant.

Oliver's left in the restaurant where he makes another scene of throwing his napkin down on the table. He shoves money at the waiter and walks out too. Hailing a taxi at the curb, he's taking his phone out of his pocket and jumping in.

It's Digg and Sara that get the text this time. Oliver says that they all have the night off. After that little display, they both know that means he'll sit at home and storm and brood all night.
"Well that was disappointing." Thea says standing. She's calling it a night; she'll avoid Oliver, she's heading to Verdant instead to join Felicity and Roy. Sara and Nyssa follow her out too after helping Digg and Lyla clean the apartment.
"Not tonight then," Lyla sighs. She and Diggle have decided on a movie and then an early night. As Digg wraps her up, he nods. "It'll happen eventually."

From Verdant's Arrow cave, they hear the muffled sounds of the key pad from upstairs. Seconds later Oliver's descending the stair case. Felicity rises from her computer chairs and Roy strides to her side from the training mats.

When then three meet in the middle, Felicity's the first to giggle, both Roy and Oliver joins in till all three are hysterical.
"You should've seen their faces. Sara's jaw was on the ground."
"Thanks Roy." Oliver hands over double what Roy could have won that night.
"No, thank you Oliver," Roy pockets the cash, "but you gotta go. Thea's on her way here."
"Thank you Roy, honestly." Felicity smiles, "it is still early, take Thea out tonight instead. It's on us."

Oliver offers Felicity his arm like he did outside the restaurant and the two leave together. They spend the night at a different restaurant. Felicity checks for bug transmissions before they go in.

AN: This was the last and longest of the three idea's I had. It kinda started with just the hugging and became a monster in its own right. In any case, cheers for making it through.
