Ryuko happily walked down main street with Mako, on their promised date. As was no surprise, Mako was peppy and full of energy, which Ryuko certainly didn't mind. They stopped at a burger place to get a bite to eat. At Mako's request, they got a large milkshake so they could share it. They both sipped from the same glass, each with her own straw. At one point, Mako noticed Ryuko's hand upon the table and took advantage of the situation. She put her hands on Ryuko's and gave her a light squeeze, which caught Ryuko's attention. She didn't mind, in fact she liked the attention from her date and returned the gesture by squeezing her hand and smiling. "Oh Ryuko, in so glad you came with me!" Mako chirped.

"You know I wouldn't nuts this." Ryuko responded, still holding her hand.

They finished off their meal and milkshake and went back out. As they left the burger place, Mako took Ryuko's hand while they walked. Their travels took them to a clothing store, where Ryuko intended to start making good on her promise to Senketsu, to start wearing nice clothes. She found a blouse/skirt combo that she really liked and tried it on. She looked on in wonder at her look. She could've sworn she saw a vision of Senketsu over her instead of the outfit she picked. She felt a tear get away from her eye and roll down her cheek. Instead of feeling sadness, she started feeling warm and happy inside. "This is just the first one, Senketsu. I promise there will be more."

Mako came over and saw the content look on Ryuko's face coupled with the tear. "You look great, Ryuko. Is this one like you said you'd wear?"

"Yep. I really like this one, and I think Senketsu would've liked it too too."

Ryuko went to pay, but the cashier refused her payment. When she asked why, the cashier pointed to the door, and they saw Satsuki standing there. "I've got this one, sis." Satsuki told her.

"You didn't have to do this, Satsuki." Ryuko replied.

"Nonsense. Consider this... a small token of my appreciation. And maybe the beginning of our relationship is sisters proper."

"Oh, I can't take this. Let me pay."

"Too late, already paid. Now, you two get back to your date. We can hang out later."

"Thanks, sis." Ryuko did, hugging Satsuki before heading back out with Mako.

...

Mako seemed to be clinging even closer to Ryuko now, her loving smile clear as crystal. Their date wound down with them sitting together on a bench near the remains of the academy. Ryuko looked on in quiet remembrance of the events at the school. She looked over at Mako, who soon looked back. "I can't thank you enough for being there for me, Mako." Ryuko told her.

"I'm glad I could be there. And I'll do it again in a heartbeat."

"But answer me something. Why'd you want to take me on a date? Not that I'm complaining, but I'm curious."

"Well... I like you, Ryuko. I like you a lot."

Ryuko started hugging Mako. "I like you too."

"Y'know, you're pretty smart, you're pretty, you're nice, and my family loves you."

"I didn't know you liked me like that."

The girls sat together for a little while, until the sun started sinking over the horizon and they headed for home, again holding hands.

...

When the girls got back home, they saw that everyone else was in bed so they went for bed themselves. Before separating for the night, Mako stopped Ryuko in the hallway and held both of her hands. Just as Ryuko was about to let go of her hands, Mako leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Ryuko didn't back down, letting Mako get her kiss. "Goodnight, sweetie." Ryuko said with a smile before heading to bed.
