It's a Date
*********
"This sucks, " Zidane said as he read the first chapter of 'History of Alexandria'. He looked around and saw that Doctor Tot was not in the room. "Perfect," he said, "now if I can only escape without being caught by the guards outside." Suddenly, the door opened and Doctor Tot entered. "Not trying to think of another plan to escape are you Mr. Zidane? Maybe I should make the punishment a little heavier by not letting you meet Queen Garnet for a month," said Doctor Tot. "You have already mastered the ways of speaking and acting like a gentleman, but you still need to know the past of Alexandria to be able to rule this kingdom properly. Regent Cid and Lady Hilda both agree to this matter and asked me to help you."
"Hey, not so fast. First of all, just call me Zidane. Next, what does ruling Alexandria got to do with its past and third, pleeaasse don't punish me by not letting me meet Dagger. I promise that I won't try to escape again. Oh, and is my Dagger busy tonight?" said Zidane.
"I don't know. Her Highness seems to be very busy these days so why don't you go see her. Oh, and one more thing, you can go know," said Doctor Tot.
"What!? Then why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm outta here. Bye Doctor Tot and thanks."
Zidane was going to Dagger's room when he saw her in the hallway. "Dagger!" he said. Dagger turned and said, "Hi Zidane! Done with your class already?" "What? Oh, yeah. Anyway, are you free tonight?" Zidane asked. Dagger nodded then asked "Why?" "So, how about going out with me tonight?
Well, with all those problems and stuff, I figured that you might wanna go out with me and have fun," said Zidane. "Oh, you mean a date?" said Dagger. "Yeah! So, will you go with me?" Zidane asked hopefully. "Ok!" Dagger said. "So, we'll meet at around seven p.m. at the dock. Okay?" Zidane said. "Sure," Dagger said. "Then, it's a date! Right?" Zidane asked. Dagger nodded and said, "Right!"
"So there you are your Highness. We've been looking all over for you. The guests are already waiting for you at the conference room," said Beatrix. "Please excuse us sir, the Queen and I will be going now. I hope that I did not disturb you," Beatrix told Zidane. "No, it's okay. I'm going to town to look around anyway. So, see you later Dag- I mean your Highness," said Zidane.
Zidane went to town and looked for Ruby. He saw her at her mini theater. "Hey, Ruby!" Zidane said when he entered. "Why, it's you Zidane!" Ruby said surprised. "So, how's your business?" Zidane asked. "It's great!" said Ruby, "so, what can I do for you?" "Do you have a play scheduled tonight?" Zidane asked. "Yes, it starts at 7:15 p.m. and it's about a lady who wishes to meet the man she loves. Why?" asked Ruby. "I've got a date with Dagger tonight but don't tell anyone. Okay? See ya tonight!" Zidane said as he went away. "Bye and good luck!" Ruby shouted.
