Alright. After writing that last fic about Cole and Alyssa, I said that I
would do a story on their first date, and that's exactly what I'm going to
do. I would've started sooner, I was just trying to update on my other
story. But now, I'm focused on this fanfic. So, enjoy and R&R, to let me
know what you think.
First Date
On the Animarium, Cole sits up in his tree, sorting out his thoughts. He was recalling the events that led up to the kiss that had happened with Alyssa, the day they returned from their research trip within the woods of Turtle Cove. Cole was looking forward to the upcoming weekend, when he and Alyssa would head back to the woods, maybe find a little down time, to talk. Although, they'd be in a different part of the woods.
Not only because of the unfortunate encounter with the wolves, which the both of them, had completely unexpected, but also because they wanted to become more familiar with the whole area of Turtle Cove woods, and not just concentrate on one spot.
Cole feels his eyes wander around the Animarium, in search of the one person he was hoping to find. Once his eyes land on her, at the table, engaged in a book she's heavily involved in, he smiles and breathes a sigh of relief. Realizing that he can safely watch her, without the possibility of her growing uncomfortable by it, considering she's so involved in the book she's currently reading.
While Alyssa concentrates on her book, completely oblivious, to her current surroundings, Cole watches her in admiration, in a trance-like state. He stays focused on her, not even aware that Taylor was approaching him. He doesn't even notice her presense, until he hears her say, "you stare any harder, and you'll burn your eyes out."
Cole snaps out of his daze, and looks down to see a grinning Taylor, standing in front of him. He finds his voice, "Taylor." Taylor nods her head, acknowledging that he had called her. He asks her, folding his arms over his chest, "how long have you been standing there?"
Taylor shakes her head, "not long." Cole nods his head, and starts to look back at Alyssa, until Taylor continues, "just....long enough to know that a certain red ranger has apparently grown a....crush on a certain white ranger, huh?" Cole looks down at Taylor, and questions, innocently, "what do you mean, Taylor?"
Taylor sees right through it, "come-on Cole. Don't try to act like Mr. Innocent. I know that you like Alyssa, and that she likes you. All of us know it actually. Or else that kiss wouldn't have happened when you two came back." Cole looks at Taylor, a little surprised, at that last statement.
"Really?" is the only word that comes from his mouth. Taylor leans up a little, to whisper, "really. Now, what I would suggest....is that you go over there, and talk to her." Cole shakes his head, "I couldn't do that." Taylor asks him, "why can't you?" Cole shrugs his shoulders, "well...." while he stops to think, Taylor slowly shakes her head, with a smile on her face, from side-to-side, waiting for an explanation.
Cole finally looks up and shakes his head, "I....guess I don't know." Taylor confirms, waving a hand in Alyssa's direction, "so then...go over there." Cole looks to Alyssa, and almost considers it, when he almost goes into another trance. But then he turns back to Taylor, and jumps from his sitting spot in the tree. He looks to Taylor and questions, "what do I say?"
Taylor looks a little puzzled, "huh?" Cole explains, "in other words, lets say.....I go over there, but....what do I say to her?" Taylor purses her lips together, and then looks up, wondering what he can say to Alyssa. Then she looks back to Cole, and suggests, "ask her out!" Cole questions, "out where?" Taylor almost laughs, but answers, "as in...out on a date." Cole looks at Taylor, like she's lost it, "are you serious?"
Taylor nods her head, "yeah, I am." While Cole looks at Taylor, she explains, "Cole...its obvious that you two like each-other. Why, your not seeing it, I don't know....but you wanna take that chance." While Cole studies Taylor's serious expression, Taylor tries to scare him, "before Danny does." Cole looks confused, "huh?"
Taylor laughs, "just kidding. Now seriously, go over there!", and from there, she gives Cole, a little push. He stumbles a little, but regains his balance. He stands feet before Alyssa. And...if he thought he was about to go into a trance then, he was definetely about to go into one now. Just thinking of her, made him want to smile.
The only thing that concerned him, was how she felt about him. Although, truthfully, Taylor had a point. Alyssa didn't run off screaming, after Cole had leaned down to kiss her. If anything, she responded. Cole turns to Taylor, for a brief second, who's nodding her head, and waving her hand in Alyssa's direction, to try and encourage him.
Cole turns around, in the other direction, to see Danny and Max, and Princess Shayla also encouraging him. Cole first looks to Danny, who nods his head, and gives him a thumbs up. Then he looks to Max, who waves both of his hands in Alyssa's direction, also trying to encourage his friend. Then Cole turns to Princess Shayla, who's standing there, with an encouraging smile on her face. She nods her head three times, and then Cole nods back, and approaches Alyssa.
Cole leans over and calls out, "Alyssa?" Alyssa looks up from the book she's reading, to look up into a pair of handsome eyes. She smiles, "hey, Cole," and then puts her book down on the table. Then she looks up to him, and asks, flashing that smile that almost melts him inside, "what's up?"
Cole looks from Alyssa, up to Danny, Max, and Princess Shayla, and to Taylor, who had just recently joined them. They all nod their heads ecstatically in encouragement. Cole turns from them, back to Alyssa. He reaches over and takes both of her hands, sort of silently asking her to stand up. She does and stands right in front of him.
He looks down at her, and shyly starts, "okay, um....after what happened when....we came back from our research, kind of....trip...." he stops, while Alyssa nods her head, smiling at how shy he appears to be. Cole fights to find his words, "look, I was wondering if.....maybe I could....take you out sometime? For...lunch or something?"
Alyssa looks up at Cole, who looks back at her, still a little shyly. Fortunately for him, Alyssa makes things a little easier for him, when she smiles and replies, "yeah." Cole's eyebrows raise up, both in joy and surprise, "really?" Alyssa smiles, with a nod of her head, "absolutely, I'd....I'd like that."
Cole nods, with a smile, "great. Um....when's the best time for you?" Alyssa thinks on that for a minute, and answers, "well, um.....since tomorrow's Saturday, I don't have any classes, so....I'm free then." Cole nods again, "great. So then....tomorrow's okay?" Alyssa nods, with a bright smile, "tomorrow's great." Cole nods his head again, and continues to smile at Alyssa.
She smiles back, when they both turn, when all of their friends, walk over to them. While Taylor walks over to Alyssa, Danny and Max walk over to Cole. They start to talk, when the well containing the holy water, starts to erupt. When Princess Shayla sees it bubbling, she calls out, "rangers!", and runs over to it.
The others turn to see what Princess Shayla was calling for, and when they see the well erupting, they all run over to see what's happening in Turtle Cove. When Princess Shayla sees it, she cries out, "its another org." Taylor confirms firmly, "lets go," and from there, runs from the Animarium, the others closely behind. The last thing that's heard, is Princes Shayla's vice, who calls out, "be careful, rangers!"
