                   Summary: A night at the beach
                   title: The Perfect Evening
                   %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

                   "WHITNEY!" Theresa called as her friend came into her house. "what took you
                   so long,  I'm gonna be late if I don't hurry up and get ready." Theresa was
                   getting ready for her date with Ethan Crane. It was a month a go that Ethan
                   had dumped Gwen. Of coarse it was because of Theresa that Ethan called it
                   quite with Gwen. Ethan and Theresa had decided to become friends before they
                   had gotten into anything serious. Theresa managed to keep from spilling
                   things on Ethan, which was a total relief on Ethan. They spent minutes,
                   hours, and days together. Sometimes they'd just go for a walk. Or sometimes
                   they would take a drive, or go sailing. Whatever they did, they always had a
                   blast doing it. Yet Wednesday Ethan had asked Theresa on a date, a
                   DATE!!. So here she was on a Friday night getting ready for her Date with
                   Ethan Crane.

                   "Ok he said he'd pick me up at 7:00 and its now, 6 p.m., I have exactly one
                   hour to get ready and I still look like a really ugly rug." Theresa said
                   pouting.

                   "Theresa don't worry. All you have to do is pick out what your going to
                   wear, and i'll do your make-up and your hair. You should be ready by 7."
                   Whitney said, looking at her closet for a suitable outfit. "How bout this
                   dress, its nice, and simple."

                   "Whitney, I want him to think how beautiful I am, not how I look like a farm
                   girl!" Theresa exclaimed, obviously frustrated by her current predicament.
                   "Here this is perfect, its short, slim, and it brings out my eyes, I think."

                   "Finally, now hurry up and get it on!" Whitney said while she was getting
                   the make-up and hair stuff ready on her dresser.

                   50 minutes later Theresa was already to get going. As Theresa and Whitney
                   walked down the stairs they ran into Luis. "Oh hoho, Little sis, where are
                   we off to tonight? huh?" Theresa knew that Luis hated the Cranes, even if he
                   did take a liking to Sheridan. She didn't know what was going on between
                   those two lately, but whatever it was, Luis and Sheridan's relationship was
                   anything BUT platonic. But she didn't think much of it because Sheridan had
                   always been so nice to her, she considered her a friend any ways, so she was
                   all for a relationship between her and Luis.

                   "Um, uh, yeah um, date, with Ethan Crane" She said the words Ethan Crane
                   slowly and softly so Luis could barely hear.

                   "Who? I couldn't hear you?" Luis said straining his ears to hear.

                   "I said ETHAN CRANE!" Theresa said quite loudly.

                   "WHO! Theresa, you know better than to date him! He's trouble, always been
                   trouble, and he always will be trouble." Luis said in his big brotherly
                   tone.

                   "Well you like Sheridan and she's a Crane, besides Ethan is nothing like you
                   think he is, he's charming, sweet, and lovable. I know he is the man of my
                   dreams so, you can just eat your words!" SHe was obviously getting rather
                   upset.

                   "Hey, this thing with me and Sheridan is totally different, we're i--"
                   Luis was cut off by Theresa.

                   "Oh Whitney, he's here. Ok be calm , just be calm." Mentally she was telling
                   herself not to spill anything this time.

                   "Ok Theresa, good luck, and please don't spill this time." That was
                   Whitney's best advice towards her friend. She truly hoped everything was
                   going to work out between those two. Theresa surely deserved it.

                   The evening was going so incredibly well, They were eating in a 5 star
                   restaurant. The food was so expensive, Theresa almost spit out her water
                   when she looked at the prices of dinner. Then she remembered that she was
                   with Ethan Crane. This was junk money to him. Theresa ordered veal
                   parmesan, and Ethan was having broiled sirloin steak. Theresa couldn't have
                   thought up a more lovely evening.

                   After dinner was over, Ethan suggested "why don't we go get our bathing
                   suits, and go for a little swim in the water, its only 8 o'clock now, and
                   its still pretty light outside." Theresa agreed and Ethan drove her back to
                   get her suit, and then Ethan went to his house to get his suit on.

                   Walking down the beach towards the ocean, Ethan picked up Theresa and
                   carried her to the water. "Ethan" Theresa giggled. "C'mon Ethan put me down,
                   I can walk you know, Ok now this isn't funny, if you drop me in this water,
                   you will regret it, I swear, I'll--" Theresa was thrown felt first into the
                   deep water.

                   'Oh, well two can play at this game! Its a good thing I was a lifeguard here
                   for awhile when I was younger' Theresa thought. She could hold her breath
                   longer than anyone else she knew. So she used this to her ability, and kept
                   herself underwater, a long time.

                   "Theresa!?, Ok Theresa you got me, come on up. Theresa?" Ethan jumped into
                   the water, and went looking underwater for her. So Theresa snuck up behind
                   Ethan who was still underwater, and jumped on him. "Oh, Theresa, you scared
                   me half to death. Don't do that again." Ethan said as they hugged.

                   "Sorry Ethan, but I did get ya back did I not?" Theresa laughed as did
                   Ethan.

                   "Yeah you sure did Theresa. You got me good!"

                   And Ethan kissed her. With the moon hanging above them, and the water
                   shimmering beneath them. They kissed.

                   THE END!
