Chip stirred the pasta as he listened to their conversation. He didn’t know how either of them thought this one up. He still didn’t think it will work. He was afraid that something bad would happen. Maddie and Daggeron were his friends. When V and Xander plan something…it was never good.
“Now, we have to make sure that we pick a place that Nick and Madison never been too,” Vida said.
“That is kind of hard since Nick and Maddie went to almost every place in town,” Xander said.
“I know…perhaps…the forest would be a good idea. Oh, right…a picnic!”
“Where are we going to get the food at?”
“Why do we need food when we have the best cook in Brairwood right here?”
He didn’t dare turn around. He knew what that meant. Puppy dog looks….kisses…and he started to blush. Other stuff. He felt a pair of arms wrap around him.
“Baby…will you pleaseeee cook dinner for our plan? Both of them really like your food,” Vida said into his ear.
He sighed.
“That is it from me, right? Nothing else?”
“Yup…me and Xander got the plan. You just have to worry about the food.”
Oh, boy…he might regret this.
“What type of food is it?”
“Well…perhaps, that chicken dish…or something with pasta.”
Maybe, he should have said no.

“Dinner?” She said.
“Check.” Xander said.
“Those glowy fairies we hired to set the stage.”
“Check…even if you did sweet talk them.”
“Come on…you’re jealous that the fairies didn’t like you.”
“Please…they were drooling over you because your spirit is a fairy.”
“So? It’s my home tuff. Deal with it. Now…Music?”
“Check….even if I didn’t like some of your choices.”
“Music buff talking here…The place?”
“I found the perfect place. I wanted show you and Chip…but…it seemed to be a favorite spot for a lot of things.”
She smirked for a moment.
“So, you’re ready?”
“Let traumatized the kiddies.”
“Oh, yes…Call Daggeron a kid….really bright, Xander.”
“And that is why you love me.”

Madison watched Vida walked into the store. A little more chirper than she normally was but she knew what her sister is up too. Chip spilled all of the beans.
“They want to do what?”
“Set up you and Daggeron on a date.”
“Why in the world…that…that…”
“Insane or something?” He said with a smile.
“Yes…I’m going to stop it,” She said as she started to move toward the door.
He shook his head and grabbed her shoulder.
“No.”
“What?!”
“You need this, Maddie. I haven’t seen you do anything beside work.”
“Chip…”
“I made your favorite…that chicken casserole dish. Your favorite dessert as well..”
“Those raspberry chocolate truffles?”
She was drooling. She shouldn’t be but Chip made the best food. He nodded his head and smiled.
“Think of this way…two friends hanging out. Daggeron needs to relax too. The older kids are killing him.”
“Stress?”
“That and in fact, they keep calling him old dude.”
She could help but giggle after that.
“Hey, sis….lets go for a walk.”
This evening promised to be interesting.

Daggeron was slightly amused when he saw Xander approaching him. Even if he was forewarn on what is going to happen.
“What is wrong? Did something happen?”
Chip shook his head as he dragged him away from Rootcore.
“Nothing wrong…expect Xander and Vida wants to set up you and Maddie on a date.”
He blinked for a moment.
“What? What made them think of this?”
Chip nodded.
“You see Maddie has been upset because her break up with Nick. You haven’t been on a date since…forever.”
He groaned softly.
“I tried to talk them out of it…but they are really set on this.”
He smiled softly at Chip.
“And you?”
Chip smiled for a moment.
“I want my friends to be happy. I think this will be good for you. Good food…good company. Just to relax. No kids….no Leanbow and Nick fights.”
“Have I been showing?” He said with a sigh
“You really have been stressed out, Teach. You are the most patient guy I know…and you looked like you were going to kill those kids yesterday.”
He groaned as he remembered the boys and the horses.
“Would you?”
“Brigthstar would have stepped on their feet, kicked them where it hurt…or just threw them off.”
“Remember me to invite your horse to that session.”
Chip laughed.
“Soo…you going to do?”
“I don’t want to upset their plans…or Madison for that matter.”
“Hey, Daggeron….Would you come outside for a moment? I really need help with a spell,” Xander said.
“Of course.”
-MFMF-
“Wow…this is going really well,” Xander said as he watched Madison and Daggeron on their mini viewing globe.
“Yes…too well…,” Vida said with a frown. She glanced over at Chip who was sitting next to his horse. Chip laughed when he keep hiding apples from Brighstar. The horse kept nudging Chip for the apples.
“Who cares? It is working, love!”
“Hmm…you’re right…but I wonder…Chip, did you say anything?”
Chip looked up at her with a smile while Brightstar stole the apple out of his hand.
“Nope.”
