"But, Mom!" Alyssa whined.
"No, Alyssa. You are going with us to the restaurant and that's final. You are not staying here alone anymore. Not after what happened with the burglar last time. Anyway, Star Restaurant's premiere was said to be very successful," Mrs. Parker said. Alyssa sighed. She knew there was no way she was ever going to win this. Reluctantly, she agreed.
"All right, all right, if we're gonna go, then let's go," Alyssa said, grudgingly.
"You're not even going to change clothes?" her mother said in horror.
"No, Mom. I'm not changing. If you'd rather I stay-" Alyssa started.
"No. You are going," Mr. Parker said, adamantly.
"Well, let's go then."
Half an hour later, they were seated in a table towards the back of the restaurant, which was to their advantage since they wanted to be able to see everything that was going on around them.
"Well, this looks like a great place so far. Let's see how the service is," Mrs. Parker said.
A while later, Alyssa excused herself to go to the bathroom. She looked around for a while before she found it. The restaurant was fairly big. She quickly entered the closest stall and locked the door behind her.
"Hey, Kevin, I'm gonna go to the ladies' room, okay? I need to touch up my make-up a bit," Natasha told Ben, who sat across from her in Star Restaurant.
"But you look beautiful. You don't need to touch up your make-up, Tash," Kevin said. Natasha stood up.
"Well, I have to do it anyway. I'll be back in a bit."
When she was a good distance away, she sighed.
"I haven't been able to tell him yet. I don't know if I can! But I have to..." she said to herself. She entered the ladies' room, and walked up to the mirror. She took out her makeup bag from her purse.
Just then, Alyssa walked out of the bathroom and up to the sink, she turned on the faucet, washed her hands, and grabbed a paper towel. Natasha looked up at the person standing next to her and almost fainted in shock.
