Prompt from FreakyFanGirl136 "how about a chapter where Mal convinces Zoey to sneak out of her house late at night, so the two can go out for a date out in the woods. You know, maybe to see some kind of amazing meteor shower or something else of the sorts." BTW, just assume that Mike and Zoey's houses were close but they just never talked before. Here you go.
A year or so later, Senior Year.
*Buzz* Zoey's phone went off next to her. "Hey, Mal."
"Hey, babe. How's it going?"
"Good. I finally finished my trig homework."
"I know, Ms. Dee's class sucks."
"Tell me about it. Why do we even have homework? Graduation is in a month!"
"Who give homework on a Friday anyway?"
"Uh, everyone," they laugh.
"So...I was thinking, let's go out."
"Tonight?" she asked, rather shocked.
"Yeah. You deserve a break after all that trig homework."
"Are you just trying to get the answers from me?" she teased.
"No, I did most of it already. I just thought you'd like to take a break."
"Aww, thanks. But it's like 9 o'clock. Isn't it really late?"
"No, it's perfect time to go out."
"I would, but what about my parents?"
"Just sneak out. They'll never know."
"How will I without them seeing me?"
"Just go through the window."
"Isn't that dangerous?"
"Says the total drama season champion?"
"Yeah, I mean, if I can survive Total Drama, I can survive a window."
"See you soon."
Zoey hung up and peeked downstairs, her parents were still on the coach and hey were watching a movie. She quietly closed her door. I wonder what Mal has planned. There was a tap at her window. "Zoey, come on!" he whisper-yelled.
"Coming!" she said, slowly climbing out. "Where are we going anyway?"
"Let's just say...my place," he smirked.
"All this trouble just to go to your house?" Zoey asked as they walked back to Mal's car.
"It'll be worth it, I promise."
"I can't even have a hint?"
"No."
"Please?"
"We're almost there." What do you have in store tonight, Mal?
They pulled up to his house and got out. Mal took Zoey's hand and said, "Close your eyes." She did as he said and he lead her through his yard and into the woods behind his house.
"Where are we?"
"Just the greatest spot in the woods. You can open your eyes in three," he stopped, "Two," he let go of her hands and turned her around, "One," he said with a smile.
She was speechless. All around her, there were jars of fireflies that dangled from the branches above, providing beautiful light to the otherwise dark woods. There was a picnic blanket bordered by flowers and with a path of flower petals leading to it. "You did all this?" He nodded, "Why?"
"It's almost graduation. We're heading to colleges across the country. I wanted to make this a night to remember."
"Aww, you're so sweet," she gave him a quick kiss.
"Don't tell anyone," he winked.
"Your secret's safe with me."
"Now are we going to eat the food or let it go to waste?"
"Depends what it is," she said slyly.
"Only your favorite, chicken quesadillas." (A/N I couldn't think of anything else :P)
"No way!"
"And that's not even the best part."
"Than what is? Amazing food, amazing spot? What else is there?"
"You'll see."
They sat down and ate. Mal placed one of the many flowers in Zoey's hair, but the best part was still to come.
(Find out next chapter! Might be rated M, but I'll warn you if you don't like that stuff)
