Back again, I am starting to wonder about changing some of the ideas I have for the story. I am coming across writer's block. I am hoping I can get the ideas clear.

Samus' POV: "It's very strange, every time we have been there he orders something that isn't on the menu, then he disappears when we aren't looking. We even used disguises, and he continues to disappear. I don't know what is going on." My friends report back. I am starting to feel uneasy about me and Ike again. However, I do know that he isn't the type of guy that would cheat. I push these uneasy feelings away, and decide against bringing these events to Ike. I don't want to push him away, I know he will tell me when he is ready. All I need to know at the moment is that he truly cares about me.

I get dressed up and we go to a fancy restaurant. He looks really off, so I ask, "Honey, what's going on? You look a little off." He looks at me and assures me that it is just work. He doesn't tell me anything else. He focuses his conversation on me, not really answering anything I ask about his life. Just then a pretty brunette waitress came up to us and asked for our orders. We order our food and waters. He acts a little uncomfortable around her. Why is he uncomfortable around her? Is there a past between them that he hasn't told me? Asking him would be useless. She brings out our food and some water. Ike seems very on edge, oddly enough. He excuses himself shortly after she left, and went to the restroom. It was a few minutes I say Ike talking to someone and then he came back. "Who was that you were talking to?" He says,

"An acquaintance." I leave it at that. I hope he will tell me everything that is going on soon. We continue eating, and then the waitress returns. Ike asks for the check and says something else that I didn't catch. He goes and pays, and quickly returns. We then leave and go to the park. It is a star-lit evening, very beautiful. Ike gets up and says he will be back.

Ike's POV: "This is Hotshot, what is going on Asteroid?"

"Hotshot, are you currently alone?"

"Yes."

"Why were you at the Solar System?"

"Had a date with Venus."

"You did see Meteor right?"

"Yes, I thought she wasn't due at the Solar System tonight."

"She wasn't, but she had to cover for Pluto."

"We need to make sure that Firefly doesn't get her."

"Confirmed. We will talk later Asteroid."

I hang up and then I head back to where Samus is. She is so beautiful. I know she is wondering about my work, but right now I can't tell her anything. I only hope that this blows over soon. I hate not telling her what I do. I also want to be vulnerable to her, but I can't be due to work. We decide that it is time to call it a night. I still have some work to do, unfortunately.

A little short, but I want to end this chapter here. I have no idea if this will span 1 or 2 more chapters. Let me know what you think of the story.
