Jesse bit her lip as the four of them glanced at one another. Will he ask me?

Petra laughed, "No way am I going up there." She folded her arms and leaned back in her seat. Lukas turned to Jesse and smiled, "Care to dance?" He extended his hand to her.

Jesse smiled and took his hand shyly, "Sure." As they approached the dancing area she stuck her tongue out at her brother (who rolled his eyes) and continued to walk. Once they got to a good spot, they turned to face one another. Jesse put her hands on his shoulders and he placed his on her waist. They slowly began to step side-to-side in a little circle. They  smiled as they danced.

Jesse accidentally stepped on Lukas' foot and he slightly jumped and Jesse winced, "Sorry! I'm not a pro at dancing."

Lukas laughed, "It's no problem. When I was little I would step on girls' toes and they would leave me crying!" Jesse laughed, "Glad I'm not the only one who messes up then." Lukas winked at her, "You'll get it quick."

They continued to dance and talk quietly for multiple songs. Jesse found herself inches from his face, and once again they were lost in each other's eyes. Lukas slowly leaned a bit closer, as did Jesse. Suddenly, something small and cold hit the back of Jesse's neck. She turned to see Petra and Jess grinning while motioning them to the table. Ugh! Why does this always have to happen? Jesse thought and tried to cover up her disappointment.

"Yum, our food looks great!" Lukas exclaimed as they walked to the table. "Who threw the ice?" Jesse asked as she sat down. The two pointed to one another and started laughing. People at nearby tables glared in their direction. "Okay, okay." Jesse hushed them, "I don't have to know, but be quiet before you get us kicked out!"

The two bit their lips to contain their laughter and they whispered to one another, glancing at Lukas and Jesse as they began to eat. Maybe they saw us nearly kiss. That might be why there laughing. Jesse thought, Unless they pranked us...

Jesse and Lukas gave each other nervous glances and shrugged. Lukas took a sip of his water and a bite of his steak, "The food and drinks are fine." Jess and Petra laughed again, this time a little harder. They covered their mouths so that they didn't spit out their food.

"It must be mine." Jesse mouthed to Lukas. She carefully lifted her fork with food to her mouth, but Jess and Petra didn't have a reaction. She assumed it was safe, so she took a bite. Luckily, it was. Then, she lifted her cup and Jess and Petra glanced at one another excitedly. It must be my drink that they're laughing about.

"Can I get you anything else?" A waiter asked. Petra and Jess turned to her, "No thanks." Petra said. While their backs were turned, Jesse swapped her and Petra's drinks. It was their turn to prank. They turned back to the table and Jesse and Lukas snickered.

"What's up with you two?" Jess asked. 

"I accidentally swallowed an ice cube, and Jesse smacked my back so I could breathe. It was scary." Lukas winked at Jesse. Jesse went along with the story, "Yeah, when I looked at him he had this really weird look on his face and he was clearing his throat."

Petra rolled her eyes, "You two laugh at the weirdest things." It was true. The story was believable because Jesse and Lukas would often laugh for random reasons like that. Petra shrugged and took a sip of 'her' drink. She had no reaction.

Why were they laughing earlier? 

Lukas suddenly shivered and looked around in a daze as if he had no idea what was going on. He wobbled side to side in his seat. "Are you okay?" Jesse asked, confused. Lukas turned to look at Jesse and an odd grin spread across his face. Petra and Jess covered their mouths, "I knew it!" Jess whispered.

"What did you do to him?" Jesse asked uneasily as Lukas continued to stare at her and wobble. He finally spoke, "Hey. Can we..." He dozed off for a moment and jolted his head back up, "Retry that kiss... from earlier?"

Petra and Jess laughed hysterically causing people from nearby tables to turn and see what the ruckus was all about. "This is so much better than I thought it'd be!" Petra whispered as tears rolled down her cheeks. They were laughing as quiet as possible, but could hardly breathe. Jess nodded in agreement.

"You're h-hot." Lukas mumbled. Other people started to laugh as well. What the heck is going on? What did they do to poor Lukas? Jesse panicked. His eyes closed and he fell asleep just like that. He tilted forwards and face planted between Jesse's shoulders. Jesse shrieked and her face went from pink to a tomato.

Her brother, Petra, and their new audience were dying of laughter at this point. Jess fell out of his sear because he was laughing so hard. Jesse quickly lifted Lukas' head off and held him up straight. The manager approached, "Can you keep it down please?" She asked, "The others are getting interrupted."

A guy at the table next to them spoke between laughs, "No, I'd rather... watch this...It's hilarious!" People all around agreed, laughing.

Jesse blushed even harder, Everyone saw and heard that? Oh geez, my brother is so dead! She covered her face with her hand. Lukas-no longer being held up- flopped face-first into his steak. The manager held a hand up to her mouth to cover a snicker and left the table so that she could laugh. Petra slapped her knee. Now she could barely breathe (Same as everyone else in the room).

Jesse cringed and lifted Lukas' head off of his steak, grabbed a napkin, and began to wipe the grease off. I'm so sorry about this! I have no idea what Jess and Petra did, but I'll get them back. She leaned him back in his seat and he tilted his head back and began snoring.

I almost wish I was Lukas right now. Jesse thought, covering her face again, He has no idea what's going on. One thing's for sure. All of Beacontown will know about this before we know it.
