On your "first date" with Michelle, you'll learn the basics of dating, and also get to play a few frames of bowling.

Walkthrough

After Three's a Crowd, if Niko doesn't call her first, Michelle will call to set up a date. Drive to Michelle's house on Rotterdam Hill. A cutscene tutors the player on dating with girlfriends. Niko gets a brief view of Michelle's clean house then the two get into Michelle's car.

Drive to the carnival on Firefly Island. Michelle notes that the carnival is closed for repairs and suggests the two play a few frames of bowling. Go down the walkway and pay for a game of bowling. Play with Michelle then lead her back to her car. If the drive home is successful, Michelle says she had a great time and is interested in more dates with Niko.

Trivia

• Little Jacob, Patrick McReary and Dusty Cowpoke cameo during the introductory sequence of the mission explaining friendships and girlfriends in GTA IV. Little Jacob can be seen eating in front of a Burger Shot and selling arms from the back of his car, Patrick is depicted setting off a car bomb, while Dusty Cowpoke is seen walking out of Perestroika (with a cowboy hat).
• The bowling alley marks the border between the neighborhoods of Firefly Island and Beachgate. However, since the carnival is in Firefly, the bowling alley is said to be Firefly as well.
• If the player quits the bowling game even before it starts, Michelle will just say something like "shame we couldn't finish that game" and still remain happy with the date.
• If the player decides to save Roman Bellic in "Bleed Out" prior to this mission, the topic of the conversation between Niko and Michelle in the car will initially focus on why Niko missed his initial appointment with Michelle as well as Roman's dealings.
• If the player points any weapon at Michelle's head, she will just crouch but remain happy, however when Niko fires the gun, Michelle flees (but eventually meets with Niko for him to apologize to her).
• Michelle runs off screaming if Niko repeatedly damages her car, but if not, she allows Niko to keep the car at the end of the mission.
• During the cutscene Michelle said, that she likes things clean, when Niko asked her about the tags on stuff in her place. The other man, who said that likes things clean, was Big Smoke who back stabbed protagonist either.
