Upon arriving at school, Bluey and Mackenzie went about their day fairly normally, making sure to drop hints to their best friends as part of their plan.

Flashback: At Lunch

Mackenzie: "Did you guys hear that Chloe is planning on going to the formal alone?"

Lucky: "That's sad, hopefully she'll find someone to go with"

Mackenzie: "You should go with her, eh?"

Lucky began to hide a slight blush and he started to stutter.

Lucky: "M-maybe as friends"

Jean-Luc: "You would only have to go as friends, so it wouldn't be so bad"

Rusty: "Jean-Luc's right mate"

Lucky: "I'll think about it"

Present

Bluey: "How'd it go with Lucky today?"

Mackenzie: "Alright, I suppose; he said he'd consider it"

Bluey: "Chloe was mostly the same"

Flashback: At Lunch

Bluey: "Are you girls ready for the formal?"

Coco: "I'm so excited! I just wish I had a date though..."

Chloe: "Yeah same..."

Bluey: "You know, there are some guys who don't have dates yet. I think Lucky doesn't have one"

The table remains silent for a moment before Chloe responds.

Chloe: "Well that's too bad"

Bluey: "Maybe you should go with him Chloe?"

Chloe: "Maybe, but just as friends"

Bluey: "Will you consider it?"

Chloe: "I suppose"

Present

Mackenzie: "Well now that we've entertained the idea, why don't we set up a date?"

Bluey: "Yes, but where?"

Mackenzie: "Movie?"

Bluey: "Too basic"

Mackenzie: "Dinner?"

Bluey: "Too expensive"

Mackenzie: "How about watching the sunset at the park? It's free and easy"

Bluey: "That could work; I'll text Chloe to meet me at Jacaranda Park at 8:00"

Mackenzie: "I'll do the same with Lucky"

Lucky

Lucky arrives at Jacaranda Park, searching for his best friend. He attempts to call him but he is left with no response. He begins to trace his steps around the beautiful park filled with lavender jacarandas. Out of the corner of his eye, he spots a black and white dog, but not necessarily the one he's looking for.

Lucky: "H-hey Chloe, what are you doing here?"

Chloe: "Same could be said for you"

Lucky: "Mackenzie told me to meet here at 8:00"

Chloe: "That's funny, Bluey told me the same thing"

Lucky: "Haha, what a coinkydink"

Lucky immediately turns red out of embarrassment as Chloe laughs at the cringe wording.

Chloe: "A 'coinkydink', eh? You're funny"

Lucky: "I suppose so..."

Chloe: "Wanna go wait over there on that bench while we wait?"
