So this is the first story I'm officially submitting (I'm nervous!). It's about Haseo and Endrance going on a date within The World. I wanted to try a "speech-only" format for a challenge. That's a thing that people do, right...? Anyway, constructive critiques welcome.

'Our first official date...oh, Haseo...I'm so excited.'

'Keep your pants on, Endrance. We're still just online. I don't think you can call that "official"...'

'Still...you asked me...and I feel as though my heart could burst with joy...'

'Hn. Sounds messy.'

'Where should we go, Haseo...?'

'I've picked out an area already. So don't be expecting something fancy.'

'Of course. I'd go anywhere with you, Haseo...whatever we do will be perfect.'

'Tch. Alright, accept my invitation and we'll warp out.'

'...I'm ready...'

'That took a while. Are you feeling okay?'

'Yes! I'm...it's just...my hands...are a little shaky...'

'Here, hold my hand, Endrance. Try to calm down, alright?'

'...I feel better, Haseo, thank you...'

'Okay, you don't have to hold it so tight...seriously.'

'Hm.'

'...There. I've entered the area words. Now...here we go.'

'...'

'...'

'...'

'Endrance? Are you alive over there?'

'Haseo...'

'You hate it, don't you. I knew a rainy field would be too depressing...damn it!'

'No! It's...it's beautiful. Haseo, I love it...'

'Oh well...I'm glad.'

'It's the most wonderful thing I've ever seen...I didn't know red roses bloomed in The World...'

'Ah, well...they don't, really...I asked, um, Piros and Yata to help me program it. You should've seen their faces when I said I wanted a whole field of them. Heh...'

'...Why did you go through so much trouble...for me?'

'That's right, for you. Because you deserve it. I, uh...wanted to do something special.'

'...I...I don't know if I can ever repay you -'

'That's not why I did this, you idiot! Going on a date isn't about owing someone something. Endrance...I like you. I want you to be happy -'

'...'

'...Endrance...'

'...'

'You kissed me...'

'...Yes, I'm sorry. I hope that was okay.'

'Tch. Of course it's okay, you moron. I'm the one who asked you out...'

'Haseo...I am happy. I can't imagine a better date than this. You're the most wonderful person...'

'Ahh okay...I dunno...how about we take a walk around?'

'Yes, I would love to. I want to see more of these beautiful roses...'

'Let's go this way...'

'I would follow you to ends of this world, Ha -'

'Yeah, yeah, I get it - hey! Don't shove me.'

'Haseo, I just want you to know how important you are to me...'

'I know.'

'...Oh...look at that...the sun, it's coming out from behind the clouds...that doesn't happen in a rainy field...'

'It does in a specially programmed rainy-to-sunny field filled with two million roses with no monsters anywhere.'

'...Amazing. My heart is straining with happiness...are you sure I deserve all of this...?'

'Well if you don't, I went through a hell of a lot of trouble, just for one lousy kiss.'

'...It was lousy? Hey, don't shove me...'

'Here, come on, I want to show you something else.'

'There's more?'

'Just one more thing...there it is.'

'...It's Mecha Grunty...'

'Just wait a second. I have to give it some Chim spheres...'

"Thank you for helping me! Wobble, wobble...wobble, wobble..."

'Haseo, what's going to happen?'

'Hold on! Just watch it take off.'

'...It seems normal...looks like it's going to crash...Oh, Haseo! It's exploded...into fireworks...'

'Surprise...'

'...haha...hahahaha, ahahahahahaha!'

'Tch...your laugh sounds like a crazy person's...'

'...Is that okay?'

'Of course.'

'Hm. Haseo...I want to kiss you again...'

'I'd be offended if you didn't.'
