Daniella came home from school one day, a tall boy holding her hand with a smile. He had black hair, square glasses, and was dressed in blue. She opened the door to the apartment and led him inside. "Dirk! I'm home, and I want you to meet someone!" Her brother poked his head out from his room, looking at the boy, then went back inside. He came out a few seconds later, katana in hand. "Who's this Dani?" He asked, looking the boy over with distaste. "This is John," she smiled, "John, meet my brother, Dirk." John smiled and offered a hand, Dirk took it and squeezed a little harder than needed, making the boy crouch in pain. "N-nice to meet you Mr. Strider.." John stuttered, rubbing his hand. "Nice to meet you to," he looked at Dani, "so why'd you bring him by?" Gently, she nudged John's shoulder, nodding towards Dirk. "O-oh! Right! Um..." he cleared his throat, "Mr. Strider, I'd like your permission to take Dani on a date tonight."
Dirk looked at him cautiously.
"Where to?"
"The movies, to see The Terminator 2."
"When?"
"7'o clock, I'd have her home no later than 9."
"Anyone else going?"
"Kanaya and Rose, they'd be on a date as well."
He thought for a moment then smiled, putting a hand on John's shoulder.
"Alright then, go for it." He said with a nod. John smiled brightly, as did Dani, who hugged her brother tightly.
"Thanks bro!"
