Just Once

"Hey, wanna go to the movies after school?' Veemon asked, staring at Gatomon his crush since middle school. "No, Veemon I told you I have soccer practice on Wednesdays after class, now shush or you'll get in trouble again," whispered the white cat in response, clearly more than a little irritated. It was the same old routine every day Veemon would ask Gatomon out once in 2nd period, again in 3rd, and then twice in 5th. "Well how about we grab a slice of pizza tomorrow," the blue dragon replied, with a confident smile. 'Well, he's persistent I'll give him that, most guys would have given up after three years of daily rejections' Gatomon thought to herself. "Umm, hello Gatomon you haven't answered me," Veemon said interrupting her thoughts. " I'm going to the spa with Palmon and Biyomon," Gatomon answered hastily, then turning her head back to the front of the class. 'Well, at least it's fifth period, I won't have to worry about him asking me out for anoth,' "Well, how about Friday," Veemon asked interrupting her thoughts. "For the last time no Veemon," she replied with a hint of venom in her voice. However, Veemon ignored this and simply asked again, "Come on Gatomon it'll be fun." 'He never gives up,' Gatomon sighs and finally answers, "Veemon you better turn around and listen to the teacher or you'll get detention, again" Several minutes pass and Gatomon looks eagerly at the clock, 'come on just two more minutes.' "Please, Gatomon just one date," Veemon asks again. Gatomon digs her claws into the desk, then she replies with great irritation "I said," but Veemon interrupts again, " Come on Gatomon anywhere you want to go, my treat," Gatomon's free hand is now balled into a fist, as she replies spitting venom, "I said na," but Veemon interrupts again, "Please just one date," practically whining. Gatomon then turns to Veemon, eyes burning in pure rage, then she replies through gritted teeth, "Saturday." Veemon stares in disbelief, "What, really you mean it." She looks at him again and simply says, "Yes, now settle down, or else," before she could finish Veemon jumped up and screams, "Yes, I've got a date with Gatomon," just before the bell rings. But, before he could leave, the teacher stopped him, " Veemon go back to your seat you have detention," she replied. "What why," the blue dragon asked confused. "For interrupting my class just now, now sit." Just then Veemon heard Gatomon giggling, " See you Saturday, Veemon," she conyinued giggling as she left. The teacher instructed Veemon to return to his seat, "All right I'm going. I mean a date with Gatomon is worth way more than one detention," Veemon replied with his trademark smile, as he sat down at his desk. Veemon couldn't wait till Saturday.
