Amanda's part
"Sir, we found the summon…" Tseng's voice spoke through the speaker.
"Is it what we are looking for?"
"Scarlet said it was a weak summon."
"Fine, come back and rest up. We are leaving in the morning to get the plane."
"Yes sir."
Rufus closed his PHS and place it back in his pocket. He began to take his white coat off till he heard a knock at his door. "Yes?"
"Permission to enter, sir?" a female voice asked outside the door.
Permission granted…" He sighed and fixes his coat. The door opened up slowly as a young looking woman enters the room. Her brown hair was put up in high ponytail with hair strains out of place. Her brown hair made her face look pal as a ghost. "Yes, Amanda?"
"Briana fell asleep on me, so I thought we can… well…" Amanda places her hands behind her back and twiddles her fingers. "I mean, I'm got bored cause I don't have anything else to do. All my drawings and my books are back at home and…" She started to trial off.
"You're trailing again."
"Oh!" She smiled and laughed a bit from embarrassment. "I'm sorry, sir. But would you like to go out?"
Rufus smirked as his right eyebrow rose.
"Not like a date!" she waves both of her hands in font of her. "Just for fun! That's all!"
"No, it's best to get some rest. We have a big day tomorrow." He shook his head and sighed. He looked at her and found a disappoint look on her face. "Amanda, don't give me that look. You look like a little kid."
"Well you hardly get to have any fun!" she said as she went up to him and tug on his sleeve. "Besides, Tseng order me to watch over you till he and the guys return."
"You can watch me all you want. I don't need to be playing games." Rufus said as he pulled his sleeve away from her.
"But…" She took a deep breath and walked behind him. He watches her walked behind him and started to push him to the door.
"Amanda, no!"
"Sorry, sir. Don't mean to disobey your orders."
~Main lobby~
Amanda pulled Rufus down the stairs and he try not to fall. He kept his hand on the rail. "Where do you think we should go first?"
"Back to my room…"
"Stop, been a big baby. It's not going to kill you to have little fun."
"Ether that, or you are going to end up killing ME!" He pulled his hand away from her.
"People, people! The play is about to began!" A man stood next to the Event Hall. Amanda's face light up and grab Rufus's hand and pulled him into the Event Hall.
"Why do we have to go to a play?" Rufus asked.
"Why not?"
"Well you don't have to hold my hand…"
"If I don't you will take off, sir." She pulled him into a theater.
"Congratulations! You two are the 100th costumer! You two are going to play the leading roles." A man pointed out a way to get onto stage. "Please go that way and you get your costumes on!"
"Wha-What?!" Rufus shook his head. "I am not going to do a play! I don't even know how to act!"
"Tis-tosh, you know how to act serious… So what's the different?" She asked him and pulled him off.
~After the play~
"That was a first grader play…" Rufus said as he walked out of the Event Hall into the lobby.
"That was fun!" Amanda said as she ran up behind him. "You looked nice in tights." She giggled.
"I looked like a fool…" He said as he started to head up the stairs to the Inn until Amanda grab him by his hand and pulled him off to the Chocobo Races Hall. "H-hey! It's over!"
"But the night's not, besides! The fun is only starting!"
"Oh grand…."
Amanda spends most of her time with Rufus to show him that it was all right to have some fun. She new he was having fun even if he didn't show it. Little by little, Rufus's started to show expressions while they played games. Motorcycles to Sub ships missions; playing with Mogs to crane-games. The last thing they did before going back to there rooms, they both road the gondola.
"Please keep you hands and feet in the gondola at all times." A woman opened a door to the gondola and let Rufus and Amanda in. She shut the door and walked to her desk and pushed a button as the gondola started to move.
Amanda looked out the window at the sight on the Golden Saucer. Rufus stared at her waiting for her next move. She shifted in her seat and looked at the lower corner of the window. She smiled as the fireworks exposed underneath them. Color danced on her face at every exposition.
"For a girl that nag me into coming with you, you are very quiet now." Rufus fold his arm and lean back into his seat.
Her smiled disappeared and looked at him. "I'm sorry, sir…" She sat down. "You still must be upset about me making you enjoy yourself for a change." She waited him to reply. "I understand if you didn't like what you did…" Him still being quiet made her look down at the floor. Ashamed of forcing him to do things that he disagreed.
"You looked nice in that dress." He finally answered.
She looked at him in a bit shock. "Huh?"
"In the play that we did, the dress you was in looked nice on you." He said as he smiled a bit. Amanda was still in shock from what he said. He seems to be out of character.
"S-Sir? Are you feeling well?" She asked as she blushed.
The gondola stopped as a woman opened it. "Thank you for riding, please come again." Rufus stood up and walked out of the gondola as Amanda followed him out.
~Back at the Inn~
Tseng was coming down the stairs from his room he was staying in. He spotted Rufus and Amanda entering the Inn. "Where did you two go?" He asked.
Rufus looked up at him and started to up the stairs as Amanda followed. "No where, I got tired and Amanda went for a walk with me. Right?" He asked as he looked at her.
"Ye-Yes, sir." She nodded and looked away as she started to head to her room.
"She seems to be acting odd…" Tseng said as he watch her go into her room.
"Isn't she always odd?" Elena asked as she walked up the stairs. "She's the oddest girl I ever met."
The next Date will be with Briana and Reno, so stay with me.
