April grinned at the idea of Mark with Maureen. Aww, it was so sweet. Still, that wasn't enough to distract her from Maureen's initial question. She had to move her hands from Roger's shoulders so she could clench her fists.
Penny glanced down. "Why, oh why did you have to get her started Maureen?" she muttered as she shuffled her feet.

Mark walked into Smitty's with a sigh. He'd been wanting some ice cream for a while, and the place just happened to be on his way home from school. The entire yearbook staff, or at least those who chose to show up for the meeting, had gotten kept after their normal time, trying to recreate all of the pages that were lost when one of the computers crashed. He walked over to the counter and was about to place his order when he saw Roger talking to a small group of people. Mark decided to walk over and talk to them.
"Hey Roger," he said, smiling. Then he saw Maureen standing there. "H...hey Maureen." He blushed a little, knowing that he sounded stupid stuttering like that. Something about Maureen did that to him.

"What do ya mean?" Maureen asked in confusion. Her confusion was frogotten when she heard Mark.
"Marky!" she said happily, turning around and giggling at how nervous he looked and sounded, "What brings you here?"

Roger shook his head. He didn't even know Penny's parents but he didn't like one bit either. He gently grabbed April's hand into his to try to calm her down. Roger looked who entered Smitty's and smiled. "Hey Mark!" He smirked since he was being all his shy self since Maureen was there.

April sighed as Roger squeezed her hand as she attempted to calm down. When Mark arrived, she raised an eyebrow before grinning. "Hey Mark!" The whole scene between Mark and Maureen was just too cute. For the moment, she forgot why she was so mad.
Penny smiled a bit. "Anyway...I'm just going to sneak back home. I know you wanted to give me a ride Roger...but then we'll get caught." As she spoke, she started walking backwards slowly toward the door.
Oh yeah. That's why I was mad... April smiled weakly toward her cousin. "Well, okay. You're probably right on that one."

"I... I was just going to get some ice cream," Mark stuttered. Way to state the obvious, he thought. He smiled at Maureen. "Have you ordered yet?" he asked, thankfully not stuttering over the question. "Do you want something?"
"Hey April," Mark replied, smiling. He liked her, mainly because she made Roger happy. In his opinion, any girl that could make Roger smile had to be a good person.

Roger nodded, "Okay, be careful while walking home." He waved towards Penny. He wondered if they should leave Mark and Maureen alone. He looked at April and gave her hand a squeeze.

"So soon?" Maureen asked Penny, "I'm sure your parents won't mind you staying for a while...I mean, have you even gotten any ice cream? You just CAN'T go into an ice cream shop and leave ice creamless!"
"No," said Maureen to Mark, "I haven't, Marky! I'm probably going to get chocolate and vanilla...because, the colors make me think of cows..." she giggled, "I love cows...I think Collins thinks I'm crazy because of it."

April waved toward Mark a bit before reconcentrating on Penny. "Be careful hon, that's all I'm saying." At the very least, Roger was willing to cheer her up a bit. She smiled up at him and kissed him lightly.
Penny glanced up at Maureen. "Oh yeah, I had ice cream." She wasn't going to answer Maureen's other comment. Why deprive April of ranting? If she did, April was going to explode one of these days. With a weak smile, she waved and rushed out.

Mark smiled. "Well, I could get yours... I mean, if you would want me to," he said. He couldn't help but blush. Maureen could be a little embarassing, especially since she was sitting in the middle of the ice cream shop going on about how cows were cute. And the fact that he was trying to sort of turn this into their second date really wasn't helping matters.
Mark waved at April's cousin as she left, and then turned back to Maureen. "Do you want to go ahead and order?" he asked, motioning towards the counter.

Roger smiled and kissed her back. He whispered to April, "Hey, you wanna get out of here and go someplace or what not?" He looked back at Maureen and Mark and smirked. Mark was trying to turn this into their second date and it looked like he needed more of a confidence booster. Maybe with them being around, it was harder since he would always tease Mark.

Maureen giggled. "That'd be great," she said, "Thanks." Marky was trying to turn this into thier second date! That was SOOO cute! "Are you trying to make this our second date?" she asked with a smile, "'Cus if you are...I'm totally cool with that."

Mark blushed even harder when Maureen asked if this was going to be their second date. Okay, so she could be REALLY embarassing at times. "Wh...what would you like?" he stammered. Of course his nerves were going to screw this up, just like always. "Just a warning; the mint tastes like toothpaste," he said, before she could reply. That would not be a goot choice, and he didn't want her to choose something she wouldn't like.

April smiled weakly. "Hmm...sounds like a good idea. Unless Mark and Maureen want us to stay," she whispered back. She followed Roger's gaze and smirked. Who knew that Mark had the slightest bit of cunning when it came to dating? Well...maybe cunning was too strong a word. Maureen obviously saw what Mark was trying to do. Still, it was a baby step in the right direction for Mark. Much better than looking like he was going to have to marry his camera.

"Well it's up to you. It seems Mark is becoming more comfortable around Maureen but I guess I tease him too much," Roger smiled. He knew he teased Mark more than he should but now it seemed to be worth it. Mark could start to learn to be comfortable around the girl he likes and actually Maureen wasn't making it any easier.
