Author's Note: This here's my rendition of Belle and
Shawn's first date. It begins after they leave the Last Blast Dance. In my
story, operagirl.net never happened, so there's nothing about that. So, here we
go. Enjoy!
This Magic Moment

"So, Belle, are you having fun?" Shawn asked his date as
they walked to the limo he had rented, hand-in-hand.
Belle looked up at him and smiled.
"This has been the best night of my life," she said with complete sincerity.
Shawn blushed and looked down,
rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand. "Yeah, well, I just wanted our
first date to be special. That way, when I ask you out again, you'll be sure to
say yes." They reached the limo, and Shawn opened the door for Belle.
Belle thought about what Shawn had
just said. When you ask me out again? Did you really mean that,
Shawn? she desperately wanted to ask him what he meant, but was afraid of
pushing him away. When she told Shawn that this night was the best night of her
life, she was dead serious. Both the dinner and Last Blast were awesome.
Apparently Philip had convinced Shawn to get separate limos for the night, even
though the best friends and their respective dates were going to the dance on a
double date. Belle had a pretty good idea why Philip wanted a separate limo for
him and Chloe, and actually wasn't all that surprised at Philip's actions. As a
matter of fact, Belle was kind of glad that she and Shawn had a limo all to
themselves, and for two reasons. First, she didn't really want to spend all her
time in the limo feeling uncomfortable thanks to Philip and Chloe making out in
the seat in front of her and Shawn. Second, she enjoyed the time all to herself
and Shawn. Even though they didn't talk much in the limo, they had that type of
relationship where they didn't have to say anything to be comfortable around
each other. Belle appreciated that aspect, especially in the limo, where
nothing was thought of to say.
Shawn sat in the limo next to
Belle. "Ready for the next part of the date?" he asked, looking over at the
blonde sitting next to him.
Belle put on her seatbelt and
looked over at Shawn. "There's more?" she exclaimed.
"Oh, yeah. We haven't even had
dessert yet." Shawn reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a scarf. "Come
on, I need to blindfold you."
Belle leaned away with a
suspicious look on her face. "Why?"
"Because I don't want you to see
where we're going. It's a surprise," he explained.
Belle sighed and let Shawn
blindfold her. "Don't worry, I can't see a thing."
"Good." With that, Shawn leaned
into his own seat and put on his seat belt.
