"Oh my Gawd! Yes!"
Jen Masterson was enjoying her day in Amity Park. Not because cause it was Summer, but after her time with You+Me=LOVE!, she found her match in Danny Fenton. Jen thought it was funny as when she first tried the dating service, the girl didn't believe it could help her.
The six friends had just stepped into the Amity mall. Everyone was expecting something from the place.
"Isn't this great, you guys!?" Caitlin exclaimed. "New mall with new experiences. What's not to love?"
"For the record, I would like to ask, 'why are we here?!' It's another mall that is in another country!" snarked Nikki.
"Dude, it's the US and A. We're practically just next door," Jude said in his usual way.
"Besides, I thought it be cool when the mall offered that employee exchange program thing," Wyatt said, though that wasn't the only reason.
Wyatt had been having a hard time expressing his feeling to Serena, his crush. He was a stuttering mess around the girl and had been hard on himself lately. He needed a break, and when he found out, he only half considered it until his friends found out and decided to all do it together.
So here they are now.
"Well, at least we got some jobs for the summer here," Jen commented. "I'm glad they have a Penalty Box here."
"Yeah, well I just got out of one Khaki Barn nightmare and put in another," Nikki said, complaining
"Well, at least we got some jobs for the summer here," Jen commented. "I'm glad they have a penalty Box here."
"You're not the only one who got a transfer," Caitlin said. "They have a Big Squeeze here too."
"Wait a minute…I thought you didn't like working there," Wyatt remembered that fact.
"Yeah, but it's all I can do right now," the blonde girl moped before she saw the crowd in front of the lemon stand. "Hey, what's going on here?"
The six friends gathered up to see a line that ended at the lemon. Jonesy tapped a man on the shoulder to see what the big deal was.
"Hey man, what's with the line?" Jude asked.
"It's for this dating service. You pay twenty dollars, and they get you a month's worth's dates. They'll find your match or your money back."
As the man walked down the ever-shortening and expanding line, the teens looked at the service with humor and doubt. Except for Caitlin, who loved the idea of finding the one.
"Really?" Nikki snarked. "For only twenty dollars this service will find your match? How ridiculous who would-what are you guys doing?"
Jonesy, Wyatt, Jude, and Caitlin grabbed a sheet from the front desk. Nikki was now speechless while Jen gave a small grin.
"You guys think this will work?" Jen asked.
"Of course it will," Caitlin interrupted her friends before they could say a word. "Besides, it couldn't hurt. We'd get to met cute guys, and they take care of everything for twenty dollars. It's practically a steal."
Despite knowing the blonde girl Caitlin for a while, everyone knew she would jump at an opportunity like this.
"What she said," Jude spoke his mind.
"Except with lovely ladies," Jonesy added as he and Jude performed their variation of the fist-bumped.
Nikki sighed at the two boys. Jen didn't believe a dating service like this would work. But they were here, and she had nothing else to do. She knew ono one here. With that last mental argument, Jen stepped in line.
"Et Tu, Jen?" Nikki asked.
"Come on, Nikki." Caitlin waved over to the group. "It'll be fun."
Nikki was not convinced. The definition of "fun" differentiated between the two, but Caitlin took Nikki away from the group.
"Okay, I'm in." That was all Nikki said when she grabbed a sheet. To the confusion and surprise of the others.
"Dude? What'd you say to get her to change her mind?" Jude asked.
"Oh…just a little 'girl talk.'"
The friends asked no more as they filled out their forms, it took longer than expected, but they had the time. They each wanted to present their best qualities, but some, like Jen and Wyatt, were having trouble. Jen wasn't sure she like the guys she'd meet while Wyatt was nervous with how he would identify himself. Jonesy had no problem what-so-ever and was the first to finish and get in line, followed by Caitlin. Jude, Nikki, and Wyatt finished with Jen in last place.
"This is going to be awesome," Jonesy exclaimed. "thirty dates with thirty hot chicks. What could be a better way to spend the summer?"
"Gee, I don't know. How about anything?" Nikki snarked.
They all waited until their turn, which wasn't as long as they thought. Within minutes, the six teens came to a counter where a man with dark brown hair and glasses was typing into a computer with cartoonish pink hearts decorating the frame.
"Welcome to You+Me=Love," he said professionally, "We find your match or your money back. How may I help you?"
"Here you go," Jonesy looked to the guy's nametag. "BeConFuzzled Writer? What kind of name is that?"
"Pen name. You'll be using them during the service."
"Better name than when I was a paramedic," Jude commented. "What's it mean?"
"It's a word I made up," the man said nonchalantly. "I feel it represents me."
The teens shrugged at the man they found to be odd.
"Alright, everything is in order. What pen name would you like to use?"
One by one, the teens passed their papers and gave a user name: The Jonesmeister, CuteCaitlin, Jude the Dude, JustNikki, and RockinWyatt. Finally, it was Jen's turn. She handed in her paper and gave SportyJen as a username. She was all set.
Jen thought back to that day laughed. It was funny how things turned out. She did have a few sporty guys, but none of them really connected as well as Danny. Brick was a gentleman, but he didn't seem to have an eye for sports beyond American Football. There was Tyler, who was a nice guy, but he lacked finesse and wasn't that good in sports. In the end, the only one that she wanted to give a second chance the most was Danny. Sure he wasn't a jock or that into sports, but there was something special about him that drew her.
So when decision day came, Jen decided her match was Danny Fenton.
She was so nervous. Danny might not have felt the same and found a different girl. The dating service meant that he saw twenty-nine girls beside her. But the next day she got her answer.
"Jen, what happened?!" Caitlin's words brought Jen out of her thoughts. The girl forgot that she was hanging out with her friends when she got the message. With a red face of embarrassment, Jen told her friends the news.
"The guy I chose picked me!"
Jen was so excited, she spilled her drink on her uniform. Jude came over and gave the redhead a high five as Caitlin hugged her. Even Jonesy came up and gave her a fist bump.
"I'm so happy for you," Caitlin squeed. "So, when do we get to meet him?"
"After our second date," Jen smirked. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date to prepare for, and that means-"
"Shopping!" Caitlin jumped with joy as Nikki chuckled. "We are so helping you pick an outfit. and I know where to start." Caitlin looked to Nikki. "You should join us."
"Meh, Alight," Nikki said with a bored tone. "I had nothing to do anyway."
"What about your job at the Khaki Barn?" Wyatt asked as he took a sip of coffee.
"New barn, but still the same clones," Nikki shrugged. When she first went inside Amity Park's Khaki Barn, she was shocked, surprised, and a little scared to see clones of the girl she worked with back home. It was something out of a horror movie, but eventually, Nikki managed to keep things her way.
With that, Jen walked away with Caitlin and Nikki to get ready for her date. The girls were excited, well, except for Nikki, who was still happy for Jen.
"You know, I've been thinking," Jude muddled. "How come we haven't seen Danny Phantom?"
"You mean that ghost boy superhero this town supposedly has?" Wyatt took another sip from his cup. "Don't know. To be honest, I haven't seen any 'ghosts' around. I'm sure he's just a myth."
"But the Justice League and Avengers-"
"Yeah, but you see them in the news. We haven't seen anyone like the guy except on photos." Jude stared at Wyatt. "I'm not saying he doesn't exist, heck, I like to see him too. A real superhero right in front of us."
"Think he'll snap a photo with us?" Jude said while Jonesy was curious about something else.
"Hate to interrupt you, fellas, with your conversation," Jonesy grabbed the attention of his two guy friends. "but we have more important things to take care of."
"We do?" Jude asked while Wyatt smiled as he took yet another sip.
"Jude, I believe our good friend Jonesy wants up to investigate this Danny Fenton," Wyatt remarked.
"Exactly," Jonesy pointed to Wyatt. "And I know where to start."
While they are excited for Jen, the friends were curious about this guy who was two years younger with no interest in sports. When Jen talked about him, and that came up more than it should, she had this small dreamy smile. Jonesy had a hard time believing a guy existed. Especially with his record during the dating service. He didn't get a second chance, but that didn't bother him or put him down.
And the place to start looking was the You+Me=Love dating service.
And here is another TMDDF Side Story fic. I just felt the need to write another one. Especially since last month was the month of love. Just a reminder, I will be working on both fics, plus my own stories. I hope you all can enjoy this one as well.
Special Thanks to Flower Princess11 for help with the scene.
