Kiran comes into Priya's room while she is sleeping.
Kiran: (shaking her up) Priya wake up! Manisha here to help you get ready for your date.
Priya: (pushing herself up) Yeah I'm up, tell her to come up stairs.
Manisha: (going through her closet) to late, I'm already up here.

Manisha: (sarcastic) Right, I believe you.
Priya: (at the door) Manisha
Manisha: No I really do.
Priya walks into the bathroom and opens the sink. The door closes behind her.
Manisha: (seeing the door close. Childish) Priya and Avinash sitting on a tree (Priya comes out with a hand full of water and throws it on Manisha) Priya!
Priya: (copying her) Manisha! (Priya runs to the bathroom)

After a few minutes Priya comes out in a robe. Grabs the dress from the bed and goes back into the bathroom. Priya comes back out dressed and begins drying her hair.
Manisha: you look better with wet hair.
Priya: (drying her hair) I don't like my hair wet sometimes. (She stops drying her hair when she hears people laughing downstairs) Who's downstairs?
Manisha: Mitesh, Anurag everyone else.
Priya: What are there doing here.
Manisha: I don't know your dad called them.
Priya: My dad's too much.
Manisha: what do you mean?
Priya: Never mind. Let's go.
Manisha: what about your makeup?
Priya: I don't like putting on make-up.
Manisha: (pulling Priya in front of the mirror) Come I'll put some on. (Manisha puts make up on Priya) There you go.
Priya: (looking at the mirror) hey it look's good. Thanks!

Anurag: I don't know what I'm going to get out of this. I don't know but I have this weird feeling that there is something wrong with this. But I'm here so he won't do anything wrong.
Mitesh: (acting like a father) Priya's a big girl, she know right from wrong (back to himself) Anyways how do you know if he'll do something wrong.
Anurag looks at Mitesh with the expression of "what are you saying"
Counter lady: hello how may I help you?
Anurag: yes I would like to know what ticket those two (pointing to Priya and Sunny) purchased.
Counter lady: Sorry it's against the cinema policy.

Priya: Anurag!?!
Anurag: Yeah what movie you watching?
Priya: why?
Anurag: Just asking
Priya: No entry
Anurag: Oh ok thanks
Priya: wait why you want to know
Anurag: Umm (pausing) because what if we go to the movies later on, I don't want you to see the same movie.
Priya: (surprised) ahhh ok. (Priya cuttes her phone and looks around for Sunny, who was getting popcorn, and sees Mitesh and Pritem. Thinking) oh so my father sent spies. Ok now the fun just started)
Anurag: Alright 4 tickets for No entry (he takes out some money and pays the lady) Alright lets go.
Anurag, Mitesh walk into theater and take they seat 3 rows behind Priya and Sunny. Pritem and Arjun come back with popcorn and soda.
Anurag: What are you doing? We're only here to watch Sunny.
Pritem: Correction, you and Mitesh are here to watch Sunny. Arjun and I are here to watch the movie.
Anurag falls back onto his seat mad. After a few minutes of the movie, Sunny begins to yawn and stretches his arm.
Anurag: look! Look! He's doing trying to put his arm around her.
Mitesh: Maybe you were right.
Sunny while bring his arm down, he puts his arm around Priya. Anurag and Mitesh look around and see Pritem and Arjun eating popcorn and grab the cup of popcorn. Anurag and Mitesh begin to throw the popcorn on Sunny. Pritem and Arjun look at each other and begin throwing the popcorn too. Priya and Sunny turn to look back. Anurag, Mitesh, Arjun, and Pritem notice that Priya is about to turn around, so they duck.
Sunny: (looking back) who's throwing that?
Priya: (turning back around) you don't want to know. Let it be.
Sunny turns back around. The boys get back up.
Pritem: That was close
Arjun: We're guys are lucky that no one in front of us. You have a clear view.
Mitesh: It's not luck it's called friends
Arjun: huh?
Mitesh: My friend is the manager here and he kept the seat empty for us.
Pritem: then what about the girl in the counter?
Mitesh: He can't do everything on the name of friendship.
Sunny tries to put his arm around Priya again and again, after every 5 minutes. However is unable to since Anurag kept on throwing popcorn.
Anurag: (throwing popcorn) Yo this guy doesn't know how to stop.
Sunny turns around and the boy's hide again.
Sunny: (turning back around) why are you stopping me from going to the manager?
Priya: Ok look that is Mitesh and Pritem, maybe even Anurag and Arjun.
Sunny: why would they throw popcorn at us?
Priya: Cause my father told them too. They don't want you to get close to me.
Sunny: (smirking) really (putting his arm around Priya)
Anurag: Yo the popcorn finished.
Mitesh: Same here.
Arjun and Pritem: (knowing that there got nothing left to eat) great!
Sunny pulls Priya closer.
Priya: what are you doing?
Sunny: I just want to know what they'll do if I made pretend to kiss you (pulling her closer)
Priya: (shocked) Kiss me (pushing him away)
Anurag and Mitesh take the popcorn cup and throw it at Sunny. Sunny looks back at them.
Sunny: (turning around) why do they keep hiding?
Priya: they think that I don't know they're here.
Sunny: oh
Priya: ok let's watch the movie.
Priya and Sunny continue to watch the movie. So do Pritem and Arjun. Mitesh and Anurag are also watching the movie but keeping an eye on Sunny.
The movie ends Priya and Sunny walk out like Mitesh, Anurag, Pritem, and Arjun were never there.
Sunny: Imagine if they were following us.
Priya: (looking at the stores window) Yeah they are I can see they reflection on the glass. (Sunny turns to look at the glass) Sunny I'm sorry.
Sunny: for what
Priya: for them throwing popcorn and following us.
Sunny: it's ok. It's was kind of… fun.
Priya and Sunny begin to walk faster.

Mitesh: Hurry up they walking quicker
Priya: I have 3 questions for you.
Sunny: Shoot
Priya: ok first do you like to run? Second, have you ever had to run on a date? Third do you mind if we ran?
Sunny: yes umm no and yeah sure I won't mind if we run.
Priya: Great! There's a first time for everything ok first lets walk quicker and then when I say now we run, got it.
Sunny: got it.
Priya and Sunny begin to walk quicker. So do Anurag, Pritem, Mitesh and Arjun.
Priya: ok now
Priya and Sunny begin to run away. Mitesh, Anurag, Arjun, and Pritem begin to run behind them.
Sunny: Priya there's a park across the street lets go there.
Priya: great more hiding room.
Priya and Sunny run into the park. Mitesh, Pritem, Arjun and Anurag run across the street and stop.
Anurag: (catching his breath) Ok I take the north entrance, Pritem's takes south, Mitesh you take east and Arjun will take west. (Arjun, Mitesh, and Pritem are holding on they knee, catching they breath. They all look at Anurag as if he had gone crazy) Just catch them.
Pritem, Mitesh, Anurag, and Arjun break up and run into the park. Priya and Sunny run and hide behind the slide [It's not just a slide, it has a jungle gym, poles, another slide attach to each other. What I'm trying to say is that if you don't look closely then you can't see them hiding behind the slide]
Sunny: there's Arjun, Mitesh, and Pritem. Where's Anurag?
Priya: (turning Sunny around) right over there. How are we going to get out of here?
Sunny: Don't worry they'll move. (Thinking) Hey the minute they move, you see all those trees, we'll run there.
Priya: ok
Mitesh, Pritem, Arjun, and Anurag give up and group together.
Arjun: I couldn't find them.
Mitesh: me either It's getting dark that's why. Priya and Sunny run out towards the trees.
Pritem: (yelling) there they are. (Pointing)
Priya lets out a squeak after hearing Pritem.
Mitesh: (yelling) Priya
Priya and Sunny continue to run towards the trees. Mitesh, Pritem, Arjun, and Anurag run after them.
Priya: (stopping behind a tree) we should split up.
Sunny: Sure But will you be alright by yourself.
Priya: yeah
Sunny and Priya split. Pritem, Arjun, Anurag, and Mitesh see them split and begin to run after them. Anurag and Arjun run behind Priya, while Mitesh and Pritem run behind Sunny. Priya rest and begins to giggle behind a tree. Arjun finds Priya and taps on her shoulder.
Arjun: hi!
Priya: Hi! (Realizing it was Arjun) Shit
Priya runs a bit further. Arjun follows. Priya circles the tree so does Arjun.
Arjun: (circling the tree) I got you so there's no point of this whole circling think.
Priya: You don't have me until you catch me.
Arjun: alright
Arjun runs behind her but falls into a mud puddle and is completely covered with mud. While getting up Arjun gets an idea. Priya turns to look, but doesn't see Arjun. She stops and begins to look for Arjun. Arjun snicks behind her like a zombie and taps on her shoulder. Priya turns and screams. Priya begins to walk backwards, scared. Arjun continues to walk towards Priya like a zombie. [Due to Arjun being covered with mud Priya doesn't recognizes him] Priya turns and runs away from Arjun. Arjun run behind her. Priya looks back and see Arjun running behind her. While running and looking back at Arjun; Priya bumps into Anurag. She looks up and hugs him as hard as she could. Arjun stops in front of Priya and Anurag, looking at Anurag. Anurag gives a gesture of he doesn't know what happen.
Anurag: (moving Priya always from him) Priya are you ok.
Priya: (moving away. Calming down) Yeah I'm sorry I don't know what came over me.
Arjun: (cleaning his face) did I scare you
Priya turns to look at Arjun and laughs, so does Anurag. Anurag, Priya, and Arjun walk back into the park. Mitesh and Pritem and Sunny come back into the park also.
Pritem: (acting like a cop) you both are under arrest, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of Anil Malhotra.
Anurag: You know something we were sent here to keep an eye on Sunny, but it was really you we should have kept an eye on.
They all walk back in front of the cinema.
Priya: I going with sunny
Mitesh: But we're following
Sunny: ok sure I don't mind.
Priya and Sunny get into the car. Mitesh goes to his trunk and gets out a blanket and lays it on top of the back seat.
Mitesh: (talking to Arjun) try not to get any mud on my car.
Arjun: (getting into the car) Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
They all drive off and arrive at Priya's house. Anurag, Mitesh, Pritem, and Arjun go into Priya's house. Priya and Sunny are outside talking.
Priya: Sorry for all that happen tonight. I didn't know it will go this far.
Sunny: No I said it was ok. It was kind of fun, after such a long time I felt like a kid. I should be thanking you.
Priya: I should go now.
Sunny: yeah you should
Sunny reach over to Priya and kisses her on her cheek. Sunny walks back to his car. Priya walks up to her steps and turns to watch sunny leave. Priya turns and opens the door. Priya enters and see her father with his arms crossed. Arjun is behind Anil giving her a gesture that she died.
Anil: what were you thinking, running away from them?
Priya: I'm sorry dad.
Kiran: (coming out of the kitchen) she did what?
Priya: look mom this is what happen, I arrived to the cinema when we got a ticket we went inside to get popcorn. But then Anurag called me asking what movie I was watching. After I cut of the phone I looked around for sunny, who was buying popcorn, and I saw Mitesh and Pritem buying tickets so I knew dad told them to follow me
Kiran: (to Anil) you sent them to follow her. How could you?
Priya: and then in the theater they began to throw popcorn at sunny and then the cup; that was holding the popcorn.
Anurag: cause he was going to kiss her. (Anil and Kiran are shocked)
Priya: He wanted to know what you would do if he pretended to kiss me. Anyway before I was so rudely interrupted, I pushed him away before he threw the cup. Then when we left they begin to follow us. So we ran into the park and then we just ran around and now we're here.
Kiran: (talking to the boys) I'm disappointed at all of you, mostly you Anil. You should have called like you always did. Anurag and Mitesh you look like the smart ones, why did you go with this.
Pritem: Actually we meaning me and Arjun we're the smart ones we were there to watch the movie.
Arjun: and we just threw popcorn because it seemed like fun and (acting like soldier) we're boys it are duty.
Pritem and Arjun walk like soldier towards Kiran. Pritem, Arjun, Kiran, and Priya are across Anurag, Mitesh, and Anil.
Mitesh: I was there as a big brother and causes Anurag dragged me. (Walking towards the other side)
Anurag: tum be.
Anil: (yelling) Party change (whispering to Anurag) who told you to bring them and why did you throw popcorn. I told you not to mess it up, just follow them.
Anurag: I don't usually do anything without them. And that they only thing we could do to stop him from putting his arms around her.
Anil: Alright but still we lost.
Anurag: What do you mean?
Anil: they have more people.
Anurag: so
Anil: When Kiran gets involved it her rules, not mine. Her rules are the person who has more people on they side wins. If it's equal the first person who changes his mind loses. So it's better if we say sorry and get on with our lives.
Anurag and Anil: (talking to Priya) we're sorry and we'll never do this again
Anil: except I'll call
Priya: fine with me
Anil: chale
Anurag: where and for what
Anil: I have to go to the kitchen for the punishment.
Anurag: Punishment
Anil: too wash the dishes
Anurag: (yelling) I'm not washing dishes this is not even my house.
Anil: Don't raise your voice and when did you I say that you have to clean it
Anurag: Sorry I through you was telling me to come when you said chale. But don't you have a maid.
Anil: My wife does everything at home with the help of me and Priya. So she says she doesn't need a maid.
Kiran: (throwing an apron on at Anil) Anurag beta look you don't have to clean the dish, but don't think that this is not your house. All of you are welcome here. Think of this as your own house.
Anurag: ok Aunty
Kiran: (to Anil) Now you straight to the kitchen
Anil: Yes madam
Everyone leaves. Priya grabs another apron and puts it on and begin to help her dad.
Anil: what are you doing?
Priya: helping
Anil: why
Priya: If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be here
Anil: oh mera beta (hugging her)
