I'm a definite F/A shipper, but I'm not sure whether
or not I agree with this scenario.  For one thing
Angelina looked at Fred "appraisingly" and for another
there was the half-smile.  If anything I'd say they
were semi-dating (events alone together that were
never actually called dates) or that they were dating
but were not boyfriend/girlfriend.

And it didn't occur to Fred to ask until then (leaning
towards the latter).  So she probably figured they
were going together, but it was still nice to be
asked.

And the appraising look was just her own smart-alec
attitude cause she'd have to have one to be with Fred.
