Nate had become accustomed to the Ferris Wheel operator falling asleep on the job, and yet, he still was not exactly thrilled about it. He had only come for the sole purpose of obtaining a Pokemon from another region, and he already had to endure going on a ride that took way to long to end. To make matters more concerning, he had to ride the Ferris Wheel with a girl, which was something that he still felt too ...free to fully appreciate. He continued to let Yancy blush at him as he returned her glances, while hoping that the ride will stop soon.
As for the modest, shy female on the other side of the gondola, the visored trainer was an illustration that wouldn't ever leave her mind. Whenever she got a break and could re-apply her make up off screen, or was able to go for a walk, Nate was a lingering, toxic image that battled the very essence of her conscience. She truly wanted him, but she had too much sitting in the way at that point to reap what she unknowingly was attempting to sow.
This of course, is a dangerous path to traverse as a pop sensation, trendy, Idol. The only thing that made any of her efforts allowable, was the fact that Nate had absolutely no idea who he was really sharing a date with. After personal observation, it would only infuriate the boy to know that she was hiding practically her whole life from him, rather than make him intrigued about her status.
She honestly didn't know if she was thankful Nate never tuned into the celebrity channel, or saddened that he didn't.
"So, Yancy...what region did work require your presence in this time? I wish I were ready to travel around the world, but at the same time, I would miss my Mom, and you, and Hugh, and R-...Roxie's concerts, and other stuff of the like."
Nate had to have been an idiot to make a gaff such as the one he allowed his lips to relinquish. It wasn't that he was trying to hide feelings for someone (definitely not Roxie or any of her band members, let alone a concert), but that he liked battling with another girl. His mother stressed often that talking about other girls on dates is a sure-fire way to sink your ship in the ocean of social explorations. He really wanted to take on the Battle Subway with a girl he had encountered the same day he had found Yancy's Xtransceiver in the amusement park. It had been some time since he and his team had faced any tough trainers, and he figured having a partner would be a good warm up in preparation for two of Unova's challenges, the Black Tower and White Treehollow.
Yancy blushed, despite his gaff, but it didn't mean that she hadn't heard his hesitation. She knew by looking at Nate's Analytics questionnaires that he listened to Jazz music, not exactly the kind of stuff Roxie worked on. She brushed it aside, but it wouldn't be something that she would let go of. She wanted Nate at her concerts. The fact that he seemed to be hiding something from her didn't sit well either.
"Sinnoh." she managed to brightly reply, taking not of the sweat beginning to emerge from under the bill of Nate's visor.
"I will find you out, my sweet Nate..." She thought as the ride was beginning to finally end.
She was completely aware that she may have to sacrifice him finding out about her in order to dig up some of the required information, but something fueled her to accept the risks involved.
The Idol Nancy sometimes didn't play nice, when on a story, either. It's in Nate's best interest to stay clueless.
