Story
February sixth. Eight days before Valentines Day. Him and Zoey, snuggled up on the couch, watching a movie. Or at a nice restaurant. Or ice-skating. Well, maybe not ice-skating in Spring. Mike looked at the calendar, thinking about Zoey some more. But before they could kiss or dine or watch a movie, he needed to ask Zoey out.
"Go for zit Mike. Zoey vill vant you to. She clearly loves you," Svetlana encouraged.
"When a man goes fishin', Mikey, pal. They don't let the best fish swim away. If the best catch is there, they take it. Zoey is your special catch. Don't let those big, rich supermarket companies come and take ya bait and let them cheat the mini, non-chain, fishery down on an avenue. They have their expired shrimp and you have a dollar-worthy catch." Manitoba stated.
"Eh yo, don't waste ya time with that scrawny broad. I still have Anne's number if ya want a real, classy gal." Vito offered.
"Disgusting. Back in my day, we weren't into all this flirting and whatnot. We didn't date or meet many times. Once before we married. We married for cows and land and nobody believed in marrying your true love. You could be a young lass in love with the gentleman next door and still have to marry the rich man on the hill. Or you could be a young man living on a farm and love the local bookworm and still have to marry the town hag! Or you cou-" Chester ranted.
"Woah, nobody was talking about marriage, Chester. The thought may have ran through my mind once or twice but we're still way too young. And, no, Vito. I'm not interested in Anne Maria at all. Zoey has more class in her left pinkie than Anne Maria has in her whole body." Mike exclaimed.
"Her whole, hot body!" Vito winked.
"Stop being the unromantic, Vito." Svetlana chided.
"I can't think of a way to ask her," groaned Mike. "Any ideas?"
"Vrite her a poem."
"Walk up to her and kiss her."
"Dress in a suit, go to her father and promise him your finest cows in exchange for his daughter's hand."
"Hook up with Anne Maria."
"NO!" Mike yelled at Vito. "I think I'll go with Svetlana's idea and write her a poem. It's sweet and romantic."
"My idea was sweet and romantic." Manitoba grumbled.
"My idea was the best because it was formal and respectful." Chester boasted.
"My idea was hot!" Vito exclaimed.
"Wooing Zoey begins tomorrow!" Mike fist-pumped. "Time to write a poem."
Svetlana and Manitoba cheered. Vito and Chester just looked annoyed. But it was only just the beginning.
-Author's Note- So, that was the first chapter of "Be My Valentine". This is the prompt chapter so the seven day lead-up begins in chapter two.
Alongside Zoke (Mike and Zoey) some Svetoba (Svetlana and Manitoba Smith) will also pop up because I love this couple too. In fact, be prepared to see some Svetoba fanfiction from me in the future. Not as much Vito-Maria (or whatever you call it) but this will be mentioned frequently and focused on at one point in the story as I did state Anne Maria would cause trouble somewhere in the story. Gwen, Cameron and a few other Total Drama characters will also cameo but aside from that, that's pretty much it for now. I will continue "The Bachelorette- Gwen Edition" but as for "What's Christmas, Now?" that will probably kick off in November. Anyway, please read and review. TheTDROTIQueen.
