Simon's POV:
"Mandrew! Lalna! Come here!" Simon's dwarfish tone rang through the halls. He was bored, and it was Lewis's day off, therefore they were uploading pre-recorded videos on the main channel. So Simon didn't have much to do without his partner in crime Xephos by his side.
"Yes?" Kim and Duncan were standing in the doorway to his office.
"Come in, and close the door…I have an idea."
Duncan closed the door, and the flux infected duo stood by Simon's bookshelf of nerdy gaming merch.
"What are you planning this time?" The mad scientist laughed as the co-founder slowly spun around in his chair, stroking his stuffed corgi as if he were the Godfather.
"In my immense boredom today, I have come up with the most fabulous idea!" Simon used Grizwald's voice from shadow of Israphel.
"And what would that be?" Kim asked.
Simon glanced out the door to make sure no one was listening in, and no one was. "I was thinking it would be funny, and rather sweet to trick Lewis and Hannah into a blind date, but I'll need help with the set up, the trick, and the recording."
"Well what do you have in mind?" Duncan smiled mischievously.
"For Hannah I was thinking Kim could make her think they were doing a live action Assassin's Creed video, but to add a funny factor to it, you had to be dressed up as if you were going to a formal party.
"For Lewis, we'll trick him into thinking we're having a live action serious interview about how it felt to lose Honeydew Inc. or Co. or whatever it was. He would have to be dressed in a suit, and both would take place in the park down the road, but neither of them would know the other was going to be there…if you two chose to help me, Kim, you will have to dress up in a ball gown, and Duncan you and I will have to wear suits. Will you help me?"
"That sounds like a great idea!" Nano giggled.
"I have to agree, when do you want to schedule it for?" Duncan questioned.
"Tomorrow afternoon, because it's supposed to actually be sunny, and Lewis and Hannah will be less likely to figure out what's going on if they don't have time to prepare. I'll update our schedules."
"Alright, well I'll go get Hannah so we can go down to the dress shop." Kim gave a little woof as Simon gave her a Jaffa treat before walking out the door.
"And I'll go call Lewis and tell him to pick up a suit for tomorrow's filming." Duncan pulled out his phone and walked out of Simon's office.
Hannah's POV:
"Come in." Hannah called as someone knocked on her door.
"I can't, the door is locked." Kim's muffled voice came from outside the door.
"Coming!" Hannah paused the video she was editing and let her friend in.
"Hi Lomadia!" Kim piped.
"Hello Nano!" Hannah laughed.
"Will you help me with a video I've had in mind for a while?"
"Sure, what video?" Hannah asked suspiciously at the evil grin on Kim's face.
Hannah stood with her jaw dropped as the Fluxed girl explained her insane Assassin's Creed idea. "So you want me to go to the dress shop, get a nice gown, and do parcore in said gown?"
"And high heels!" Kim laughed at Hannah's reaction.
"When are we going to start recording?"
"Tomorrow afternoon," Nano smiled, "Now come on, we need to go dress shopping!"
"Alright let's go."
Duncan's POV:
Ring Ring…Ring Ring
"Hello?" Lewis answered.
"Hey Lewis, it's Duncan, what's up?"
"Not much, bored. You?"
"Just finished talking to Simon, he wants to do a live action interview about losing Honeydew Co."
"I thought it was Honeydew Inc."
"Whatever, the point is he wants us to dress in suits."
"Ugh…alright…what time are we going to film?"
"Tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, well I'll pick one up and bring it with me tomorrow, where will we be filming?"
"The park down the road from YogTowers."
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow friend."
"See you then."
Kim's POV:
"Hannah, what about this one?" Kim held up a pale pink ball gown made of silk with darts down the skirt and glittering lace around the bodice.
"I was thinking more this one." Her friend was holding a stunning sky blue dress with gems across the straps and bodice, and lace sleeves that fell to the floor, the fabric shimmering as it moved.
"You have to go try that on!" Kim squealed ushering Hannah towards the dressing rooms.
While Hannah tried on her dress, Kim found a light red one that resembled the one that her in-game character NanoSounds wore. She tried her on, and when the girls stepped out, both looked as though they were about to be featured in a fashion magazine.
"Now we have to go find shoes!" The Malaysian girl pulled her friend across the store to find shoes that matched the dresses they had chosen; the only stipulation was they had to be high heels.
As the girls we walking to the check-out Kim saw something she absolutely had to buy for her friend. It was a silver owl necklace with sapphires for eyes. Without Hannah knowing, Kim bought the accessory and the pair walked out of the shop with their dresses and shoes.
"I saw this as we were checking out and I had to get it for you!" Kim said as they began walking back to the car.
"Oh my god!" You didn't have to get that for me!" Hannah cried as Kim presented her with the necklace.
"But I did so meh!" She stuck her tongue out playfully at the owl girl.
Once the friends had returned to YogTowers the both placed the dresses and shoes in their offices.
-The Next Day-
Lewis's POV:
Lewis walked into the office and hung the black suit Duncan had told him to bring on the back of the door. The co-founder felt stupid wearing dress shoes with jeans and a plaid button up, but it was easier than bringing two pairs of shoes.
"Hello Spaceman," Simon said, poking his head in Lewis's office, he too carrying a suit.
"Morning Honeydew," Lewis responded with a laugh as his friend stumbled over the suit in his hand. "So what time are we heading to the park?"
"Around four," The ginger replied as Duncan walked down the hall behind him. "I'm going to go make sure Duncan brought a suit as well."
"Okay," Lewis called as Simon walked out of the room.
Lewis was just about to turn on his computer when he heard a familiar voice from the door, "Hi Xephos."
He bowed playfully as he greeted the girl, "Hello Lomadia." Hannah giggled and Lewis pulled her into a hug. "How are you this morning?"
The owl girl smiled, "I'm doing alright, Kim has the pair of us shooting some ridiculous video today, what about you?"
"Simon's doing an interview with Duncan and I."
"Hannah!"
"That's Kim now, I'd better be off." Hannah piped glancing over her shoulder.
"Love you." Lewis kissed Hannah on the nose before Kim called her name again and she darted out of the room.
-Later-
"It was tragic to be in the explosion…after all the work we put into that factory, it was sad to see it taken by witches and then destroyed." Lewis said solemnly.
Hannah's POV:
"You want me to do what?!" Hannah screeched.
"Start by standing on top of the slide, then run down before running across the seesaw and jump through the swings before we cut to the next part of the video." Kim explained.
"In high heels?! Do you want me to die?!"
"Well, how about we start with some basic running in the field over there to get you used to the shoes." The dark haired girl said thoughtfully.
"Whatever keeps me alive and out of the hospital longer." Hannah let out a breath she hadn't know she was holding.
Simon's POV:
"Lewis why don't we head over to the field over there, the lighting will be better and we don't have to worry about as much interference from people."
"Alright," Lewis agreed.
Simon texted Kim as they began moving equipment, telling her to get Hannah over to the area they had set up.
Duncan was still filming unbeknownst to Lewis, and as soon as Kim texted back, they were heading to the dinner that Duncan, Kim and Simon had prepared.
The table they had set up was brilliant; it was covered in a black table cloth and candles, with an exquisite meal. Duncan and Kim had worked together to make Lemon Tuskan Chicken with an array of side dishes.
They had set Martyn to watch the set up while Simon, Duncan, and Kim were busy with Lewis and Hannah.
Martyn's POV:
Simon and Duncan had asked him to watch the dinner set up for Lewis and Hannah, and also be a part-time waiter for the date; so, much like Lewis, Simon and Duncan, he was in a suit.
Martyn watched as Lewis, Simon and Duncan emerged from the trees on one side of the park, just as Kim and Hannah appeared from the playground on the other side.
As they approached, Lewis and Hannah were oblivious to the fact that the dinner was for them, that was until they noticed each other.
Lewis's POV:
"Hannah! You look stunning!" Lewis said in awe at the sight of his girlfriend in a beautiful sky blue dress. Hannah blushed and looked at the ground.
The raven-haired boy turned his attention to Simon and Duncan, "What the hel is going on here?"
"Surprise!" Simon, Duncan, Kim and Martyn all said in unison, and that's when it clicked. The whole of the interview filming had been a ruse to get Lewis out to the park, the same; he was guessing, went for whatever crazy video Kim had told Hannah about.
"Wait! So you're not trying to kill me in some insane Assassin's Creed parcore video?!" Hannah looked up from the ground to face her friend.
"Nope! Did you actually think I was going to let you do all of that in heels?!" Kim laughed.
"I knew that sounded like an overly risky idea!" Hannah piped.
"What was she going to make you do?" Lewis laughed.
"Run down a slide, over a seesaw and jump through some swings…in four inch heels." Hannah giggled.
"Kim! I told you to trick her not kill her!" Simon turned to Kim.
"So this was your idea!" Lewis looked at his friend.
"Yeah, we were all bored and decided to plan this, and it went well if I do say so myself!" Simon's smile radiated his dwarfish nature.
"Oh one more thing…we never cut the cameras off." Lewis looked around at Duncan's voice to see both him and Kim with cameras raised.
Lewis was about to reply when Martyn stepped forward looking between him and Hannah. "Do you wish to just stand here or eat the dinner so graciously prepared by your friends.
-Later-
The night had gone brilliantly. Lewis was impressed with his friends, the dinner had been amazing, but he was mostly amazed by how well they had pulled off the whole scheme.
