"I'm telling you man, she was gorgeous." Jake said and swirled the whiskey in his glass around before looking next to him at his best friend.

"All right, you've said that like a hundred times already. What makes her so special?"

Jake frowned when he saw the rather annoyed expression on his friends face. Dirk Strider's lips were turned down in a frown and Jake could practically tell that he was being glared at from behind those pointed anime shades.

"I told you already!" Jake said. "She's absolutely perfect." He went on to explain _____ to Dirk once more but before he got into it, Dirk held up his hand.

"Dude, shut up. I get it. She's beautiful, she's perfect. She's an angel. She's the one for you." Dirk said in a very shitty British accent. "What the hell are you doing talking to me about it instead of calling her?"

"I can't."

"Well why not?"

"I don't know what to say."

"Ah. I get it. You wanted advice from me on how to ask her on a date?"

Jake nodded, looking at the amber liquid in his glass before knocking it back. He waved the bartender down to refill it. "Yes."

"Well first things first, give me that." Dirk said and plucked the glass of whiskey from Jakes hand. "You don't want to ask her out while drunk so sober up."

"Aw come on! It's not like I intended to ask her out while I was smashed."

"Either way. Second. Just call her and say will you go on a date with me."

"What if she doesn't know it's me?"

"I'm sure that since she left your number on her fridge, she will assume the only unknown number calling her would be you."

Jake sighed. "I suppose you're right." He ran a hand through his hair and took his glasses off, using his shirt to clean them before replacing them on his nose. "What if she says no?"

"Oh, my god. Give me your phone, English." Dirk said, getting fed up with Jake's insecurities about asking out a girl.

Jake raised an eyebrow and dug his phone out of his pocket. "What do you need it for?"

Dirk didn't answer before picking it up from his hand and then scrolled through the numbers until he found the one of the woman he was looking for. Without a thought he pressed call and pressed the phone to his ear, listening to it ring.

"Hey, _____. What's up?" Dirk said.

Dirk paused as he listened to the woman's response.

"I'm Dirk Strider, best friend and wing man of Jake English. I'm calling on his behalf." Another pause. "Yes, yes. He's fine. Totally healed. He apologizes for not calling yet… you know what, why don't you talk to him yourself."

Dirk smirked mischievously and then handed the phone over to Jake, pushing it to his ear. "D-Dirk! What are you d—"

"Hello? Jake?" came the familiar voice that Jake had been hearing over and over again in his head.

" _____!" Jake said, his face heating up as he took the phone from Dirk's hand.

"So what was that all about?"

"Nothing. Dirk was just being a dick. Sorry for that. I didn't mean to bother you."

"No, its fine. Not a bother at all. Is there something you need?" She asked and Jake could have sworn he heard a bit of hope in her voice.

"No… well I mean… _____... I was wondering… willyougoonadatewithme?" Jake blurted out so fast that he wasn't sure _____ understood him.

"What?"

Jake cleared his throat and looked at Dirk. His friend gave him an encouraging nod. Letting out a sigh, Jake tried again. "Will you go… on a date… with me?"

There was silence on the other line and Jake started to get worried. He thought he heard giggling from the other side of the line but he wasn’t sure, it was so quiet. For all he know, he was just imagining his two best friends Roxy and Jane laughing at him for trying to go out with someone so out of his league. After one long, unbearable moment, _____ finally responded.

"Of course. I would love to, Jake." She said and Jake thought she was trying hard to keep her voice under control.

"Great. So… how about I'll pick you up Saturday at 7?"

"Sounds awesome." She said. "I'll see you then, Jake."

"See ya."

The line went dead. Jake sat frozen in his seat with the phone pressed against his ear. He didn't move until Dirk physically had to take the phone away from him, locking it, and making him put his hand down.

"I take it she said yes?"

Jake simply nodded.

"You're too shocked to move?"

Jake nodded again and Dirk sighed before standing, leaving money on the table.

"Come on lover boy. We need to get you home." He said, standing up before making Jake stand and leading his best friend out of the Skaia bar and to his car. "I should probably help you plan this date and give you points on how not to fuck up. I do not want to have to deal with you being all heartbroken. Not after last time."

_____ sat at home with her friend, staring blankly at the TV. For the past few days, _____ couldn't stop checking her phone, so she asked her friend and roommate Roxy Lalonde to hang out to try to occupy her mind so she could stop thinking about Jake. Her puppy was sitting in her lap, slowly dozing off while she pet his head.

"Yo. Why are you being so mopey?"

_____ looked at her friend. Her blonde hair was cut just before her shoulders and the tips were dyed pink. Her lips were colored black and her eyes were pink, and she looked a little upset with _____ right now.

"Sorry, Rox. I just… he hasn’t called me yet. I really thought he liked me." She said. "Especially after what he said when I left a few days ago. What if he's not interested?"

"Oh trust me, hun, from what you've told me, he seems really interested. And cute. I'm sure if he was braver, he would have kissed you the second he saw you."

"You talk as if you know him." _____ said.

"I don’t. But I know a friend of his and I've heard about him before." Roxy said.

"Uh huh… but… Roxy… what if he never calls? I won't see him again and I really, really want to."

"I'm sure he'll call, _____. Don't worry. Just give him time. From what I've heard from his friend, he calls himself a brave adventurer, but when it comes to matters of the heart, it'll take him some time to gather up the courage to do anything."

"If you s—" before _____ could finish what she was saying, her phone started ringing.

_____ blinked and reached out quickly to grab the device. The number was unknown and she got excited. Opening the phone, she spoke.

"Jake?" She asked without thinking. Roxy started grinning madly.

"Hey, _____. What's up?" said an unfamiliar voice.

"Who is this? How do you know me name?"

"I'm Dirk Strider, best friend and wing man of Jake English. I'm calling on his behalf."

"Dirk?" _____ looked at Roxy who nodded and mouthed that was who she knew. "Is Jake all right?"

"Yes, yes. He's fine. Totally healed. He apologizes for not calling yet… you know what, why don't you talk to him yourself."

"Uh. Ok."

There was a slight commotion and _____ heard the British accent of the man she met only a few days before. "D-Dirk! What are you d—"

"Hello? Jake?" She asked

"_____!" he replied.

"So what was that all about?"

"Nothing. Dirk was just being a dick. Sorry for that. I didn't mean to bother you."

"No, its fine. Not a bother at all. Is there something you need?" She asked, trying not to sound hopeful, but failed. She looked at Roxy who nodded to her and gave her a thumbs up.

"No… well I mean… _____... I was wondering… willyougoonadatewithme?" Jake blurted out so fast that she didn’t understand him.

"What?"

Jake cleared his throat she heard him sigh before he tried again. "Will you go… on a date… with me?"

_____ froze and Roxy came over and took the phone from her, covering the speaker with her finger. "What happened, girly?"

"H-he asked me out." _____ said as a smile slowly reached across her face.

Roxy grinned and hugged her friend and the two of them laughed. "That's great!! Tell him you will, but try not to sound too excited. You don’t want him to think you've been waiting for this."

"Yeah. All right. Give me the phone back." She said and reached for her device. Taking a calming breath, she put the phone to her ear again and tried to talk in a suave voice. "Of course. I would love to, Jake." She said.

"Great. So… how about I'll pick you up Saturday at 7?"

"Sounds awesome." She said. "I'll see you then, Jake."

"See ya."

_____ hung up the phone and both girls were silent for a moment. She looked at Roxy and the two grinned before squealing.

"We should celebrate!" Roxy said. "I'll call Janey and we can go out for some drinks! My treat."

_____ smiled and nodded. "I think a celebration is in order." She said.

Roxy grinned at her friend's approval and pulled out her phone to call their third friend, Jane Crocker to tell her to meet them at their favorite bar, Skaia.
Well, here's chapter too! The subplot thickens!! (There will be an actual plot later, inspired by an episode of Supernatural. When that plot reveals itself, if you can guess what episode of Supernatural it was inspired by, then you will get kudos from me.)

I hope you enjoy this! I really do enjoy the way I'm writing this, all of the detail I'm putting in this compared to my stories in the past. It feels good.

I was originally going to wait until tuesday to release this, but I just cant. I cant release this on a schedule!!! ;_; I just. I'm having so much fun writing this and I want everyone to enjoy it.

Chapter 1:  JakeXReader - Secret Set Up 1
Taking his puppy to the dog park in his town, a young man known as Jake English started to wonder if it would be a good idea to let Bec off his leash and mingle without him. His worry was not unwarranted, however. Bec was a curious pup, not very domesticated and had a habit of disappearing and reappearing at random. He lives mostly around where Jake lived and while Bec wasn’t "legally" Jake's dog, or anyone's for that matter, the young man had taken quite a liking towards the mysterious pup and felt a sort of responsibility towards him.
When the two arrived to the dog park, Jake decided that Bec had been a good boy thus far and thought a reward was in order and removed the leash. Bec looked up at Jake.
"Go on, boy. Have fun. I'll be right behind you."  Jake said and scratched Bec behind the ears.
The puppy yipped and ran off, Jake following behind him, just to keep a close eye. While Bec was socializing, Jake thought he heard someone call his name.
"Jake!!"  came an unf

Chapter 2: You're here!!
Chapter 3:  JakeXReader - Secret Set Up 3
_____ paced her room. She had gotten a text from Jake that said to dress nice, but she wasn’t sure what that meant. Nice as in little black dress or nice as in not jeans and a t-shirt? She had asked Roxy and Jane about it, but gotten mixed answers. Roxy said to go all out regardless, to show off her hot body. She even loaned _____ one of her dresses, a mini sleeved black dress that hugged her curves and ended midway to her thighs. Jane said to wear whatever was comfortable, that if Jake really liked her, it shouldn’t matter what she wore.
Both ideas were good, but she didn’t want to be underdressed nor did she want to be overdressed. Looking at the two outfits laid out on her bed, she sighed.
"To hell with it." She muttered. "ROXY!"
Within seconds, _____'s roommate came into the room.
"What did you decide, girl?" She asked.
______ pointed to the outfit she chose. "Help me with my hair and makeup?" she asked.
"Of course." Roxy smiled and sat _____ down in front of the
