-The Cafeteria, SingleTown Middle School-

"What the heck?," Danny said,"I told you that Mark was no good!!" I ignored what Danny had to say and slowly made my way to her table. She noticed me and smiled.

"Hey Chris," she smiled. I smiled back and tried to make sence of this. Mark looked at me and frowned.

"What do you want?," Mark asked. I scratched my head. I don't really like the looks Mark gave me. It sorta freaked me out. And till this day, Mark and his friends don't know that Robin is well.......my girlfriend. I don't like using that word. It's still sorta new to my vocabulary.

"Uh...," I started,"I sorta wanna talk to Robin." Mark stared at me for a little while and got up from his seat. I guessed that meant that I could talk to her.

"So, what's up?," she asked me. I felt dizzy again. Just seeing her made me nervouse. To tell you the truth, I didn't ask her out. She sorta forced it out of me. But don't get me wrong, I WANTED to ask her a long time ago, but I'm too shy. I thought about how I was going to ask her to prom without my index cards.

"Uh.....," I said. I scratched the back of my head, it's a bad habit."I wanted to ask you a question."

"What is it?," she asked. I looked back at Danny. He was sitting with Sam and Cathy. They all gave me a thumbs up. I looked back at Robin.

"Uh....," I started again,"Would you want to......uh....maybe.."

"Christopher," Robin laughed,"What is it?"

"Would you want to go to.....uh....the Happy Mart with me after school." I couldn't do it. I looked at Danny. He shook his head and walked to class with Sam and Cathy.

"That's it?," Robin asked,"I always go there after school, you work there!" I giggled. I tried to lighten the situation. It usually worked with Robin. Suddenly,
Mark walked up behind us.

"Thanks alot!," he yelled at me,"Robin was showing me how to draw for art class!!" Robin handed me a piece of paper and smiled. Then she got up and walked to class.
I unfolded the paper on my way to class and saw what she drew. It was a picture of me wearing a tux. I knew what she was trying to tell mne but I just couldn't.

-The Happy Mart, SingleTown-

"Get this place cleaned up!!," My boss ordered me.

"Of course sir. Yes sir!," I answered. I grabbed the broom from the storage closet and started to sweep. Then I heard the front door bell. I ran to the door.
"Welcome to Happy-"

"Shut it!," Danny yelled. I just noticed that he wasen't a customer.

"What's wrong?," I asked. Danny frowned at me.

"Poor performance dude!," he said. He meant at lunch.

"What was I supposed to do?," I asked. He got that evil look on his face. I knew he was thinking of something.

"Didn't Robin say that she comes to the Happy Mart every day after school?," Danny asked.

"Yeah," I replied,"She always buys marshmellows for Cathy and plant food for Mr. Smith."

"So why don't you ask her when she comes!," Danny said.

"But I don't know what to say," I replied,"I'm too nervouse!" Danny thought for a second. The only time Danny thought was when he was trying to make my life a mess. He never thinks things through.

"Why don't I hid behind one of the shelves and direct you through what to say?," Danny smiled. That idea wasen't half bad.

"Okay," I said,"Let's try it!" Danny waited by the tools section and I waited by the packaged treats isle. A few minutes later, I heard the bell from the front door ring. Robin marched her way to the store. I smiled and pretended to stack some candy bars on the shelves. I felt her kiss my cheek.

"Hi Christopher," Robin smiled. I felt dizzy.

"H...Hey Robin," I replied. I heard Danny whispering to me through the shelves.

"Tell her that she looks pretty!"

"Uh....you look really pretty today," I said. Robin blushed.

"Thanks," she replied looking towards the ground. Danny's plan was working.

"Ask her NOW!!!," he shouted into my ear.

"But that wasen't apart of the plan!," I replied. Robin looked up at me with sparkling eyes. I loved when she looked at me like that. But it rendered me speechless.

"Did you hear about the prom coming up?," she asked me.

"Yeah," I replied,"What about it?"

"It's gonna be my first dance," she replied,"I've never been to a school dance before." I was surprised. One year in the fifth grade, I went to the Valentine's Day dance SingleTown Elemetery had and I basically stayed at the punch bowl the whole time. I remeber I wanted to ask Sam to the dance, but I was too shy to ask. It wasen't my idea, Danny talked me into it. That was the worst day of my life! I didn't wanna go dateless again. I knew I had tro ask.

"Robin," I said,"Would you wanna go with me?" Robin's eyes turned Dark pink. She glowed. I had to push her into the supplies closet.

"Christopher, of course I would!," she smiled. Then she kissed me! Yeah.....I'm glad I didn't listen to Danny this time!
