Hey! Thanks for taking the time to read this :D This is my 2nd story! WOOTZ! I hope you great time reading this. I definitely had a great time writing this! But I still can't get over how nervous I get when I upload my stories. I was like " ok, here goes! " Finger on top of the enter key. Counting 1...2...3...4...5. Publish! Haha~ Sorry for the babling == , proceed with the story.

Blue haired, button nose, small but warm smile, the smile that always have a way of making my day everytime I see it. And it still does. And not forgetting his eyes, those beautiful light blue eyes that I adore, turning bright red when there is a monster stupid enough to challenge him.

Yes, that's my Zick, my best friend, my neighbor, my…my boyfriend.

Without knowing, a dorky smile was pasted on her light skinned face. A smile that makes the young tamer next door melts in comparison.

Next Door

I wonder if she's asleep yet.

I wonder if she will accept my invitation.

Hmm…

The young Tamer was deep in his thoughts in the middle of the night, not knowing that someone close by was thinking about him just a few minutes ago.

…

"Hey, Zick!"

"What? Who? El-ena?"

"Well, duh! What other girl do you think would be able to wake you up other than me, Sleepy Head? "Elena teased with a smirk on her face.

"OK….ok. I'm getting up just go downstairs and wait for me."

"Sure, sure."

"While you are at it, you might wanna change Bimbolo. He's been reeking since yesterday. But no one really dares to go anywhere near him."

"Of course, I will do the dirty work." Elena emphasize on the last two words while scowling at Zick.

Zick managed to chuckle when he saw the expression Elena threw him. "What?" Giving her innocent eyes. "You are the one who wanted to be a Keeper."

Sigh~ with a small sigh, Elena quickly went downstairs to begin her daily chore.

…..

The sun was shining brightly at Big Burg. And Old Mill Village was radiating from all the heat. The day was sunny and so were the residents here. People are still doing their daily errands with no clue to the deathly fight between Tamers and ancient monsters that happened just a week ago.

"Hey, Elena. Are you…uh…free this..Saturday?" Even though he knew the answer at heart since he practically spend every day with Elena, but just on the safe side, he still wanted her answer clearly.

"Well, let's see. I guess I would have to finish my History project and then with…and then…" By counting her fingers, she tries to cover how she was feeling inside. And right now, she was nervous and has butterflies in her stomach. What it is? He looks so nervous asking me about it, well trying to anyway.

Zick looked at her counting fingers, forgetting to cover his eager and nervous expression on his face. Elena quickly took a few glances at the expression the boy beside him had on his face. Smiling, for being able to tease him again and so easily.

"I'm kidding. Of course I can accompany you to do, well, whatever it is you want to do. And what have you plan? Catching monsters? Or going to the Armory?" Her face brightening with each word, like she always does when she gets to have an adventure with Zick.

"Actually….it's sorta…..different this time." Words hard to get through his mouth. Half of the reason is because he doesn't want it to. Maybe he shouldn't. What if she rejects me, and then what do I do? Or maybe she would freak out and never talk to me again.

"Well, I'm waiting. What is it? Are you in trouble?" She asked with worry in her voice. "Tell me, Zick."

"No. " Zick took a big breath.

Now or never.

"I want to invite you to the…..the Spring Dance."

"The Spring Dance? Like a..a…d-date?"

"No, I mean, yes, I mean…."

Both blushing, without noticing they've already reach their school, Old Mill Junior School. Which is the place that Zick just invited Elena to go this Saturday. As a date, their first date.

Not daring to look up, Zick just continue looking at the ground with hands behind him. While Elena was still a bit shocked from what she just heard.

"Ok"

"Really?' Zick head automatically sprang up like a spring once he heard her answer. " Are you…um…sure?" Quickly looking away when he saw Elena blushing. Without any control he was now blushing along with her.

"Yeah, I'm sure, if that's what you want." Without admitting it, she was actually quite flatter that he asked her. But she was never going to admit that.

Dringggg~~~~

Glad that the bell rang at the correct moment, they both started to walk towards their class, shoulder to shoulder. Both having a sunny smile on their face, while their thoughts were on something else.

I wonder what Elena's gonna wear? What am I supposed to wear? Should I pick her up at her house or just wait on the porch…?

He asks me to the dance. As dates. What am I gonna wear? What is Zick gonna wear? I'm just so excited! Maybe I should ask my mom to help me pick what to wear. I wonder if Zick is as nervous as me…?
