Effie On A Date — Tracy Marchini

Effie is less-than-thrilled when her best-friend and long-time crush, Robbie, asks her to join him and his new girlfriend on a double date. But when Effie sees her date, the tall, handsome Eric, the night looks like it's taking a turn for the better.

But Eric isn't the dreamboat he appears to be, and when her (always embarrassing) mother shows up on the date -- and it's actually a welcomed event -- Effie realizes she's on what could possibly be the worst date of all time.

Effie On A Date is the third story in The Effie Stories.
