A/N: Just so you all know that I haven't abandoned this story! I know this is a bit short, but no worries - the next chapter is already started! I just wanted to post this to give my readers something to read in the mean time. :) And thanks again for all of the reviews - you have no idea how stoked I was to get to 100!

"Daniel! You're being a bit ridiculous, don't you think?" Christina whispered as they walked along the back wall of the restaurant.

He quickly turned lowered the menu that he was holding in front of his face, "Shhh! Don't say my name so loud!" He then grabbed her hand and pulled her along with him.

"Thank you," he whispered the hostess as she sat them at a table in the far corner.

She looked at him wearily, "No problem. Your waitress will be right over," she said before turning and walking away.

Daniel scooted to middle of their corner booth and craned his neck, "This is perfect; we have a great view of them and there's no way they'll see us around that massive fish tank – especially with that fat guy right there at the table in front of us!" he giddily exclaimed in a loud whisper.

Christina raised an eyebrow at him. "Daniel, you don't have to whisper anymore."

He cleared his throat, "Right. Of course," he said as he grabbed the menu and pretended to study it, while every so often stopping to gaze at a giggling Betty sitting across the restaurant.

Christina took the opportunity to sneak a peek at Betty's date. She watched as Betty animatedly told Becks a story, and he began laughing. Christina then stole a glance at Daniel, who had abandoned the menu facade and was intently studying the duo.

"I don't know Daniel. As much as I've enjoyed our little covert mission, I think it may have been for nothing. Betty seems okay to me," she teased.

He tore his eyes away from Betty. "Yeah, well--"

"Hi, my name's Taylor and I'll be your server today! Are you ready to order?" a cute blonde said, standing at the edge of the table.

Daniel looked annoyed, as Taylor stood directly in his view of Becks and Betty. "Um, yeah. We'll start off with two Caesar salads," he said quickly, hoping she would move.

"Anything to drink, sir?" the girl said with a cheery smile.

"Water would be great," he said tersely, forcing a smile.

"No problem!" she said, stepping aside, allowing a full view of Becks giving Betty a bite of something from his plate.

"A scotch on the rocks for me, please," Christina said, glancing over at Daniel and noticing his clenching jaw.

Daniel pulled his eyes away from the disturbing image. "Make that two," he said, flashing Christina a nervous smile.
