Chapter 3: First Date

"Okay, Mars, you ready?" Joy asked as she walked in to the room.

Mara turned to her "I don't know..."

"What do you mean?" KT asked her.

"I mean, you know..." Mara started fumbling with her make up kit.

"Don't!" Willow and Amber exclaimed- both had volunteered to do Mara's make up for her first official date with Fabian. At first she was unsure of it but the two had proved that they can make her look even more pretty. And even though, Amber roots for Fabina she had been really helpful the past few days in preparing for their date.

"Sorry," she whispered "I mean, this is our first official date and I just- I don't know. Like what am I supposed to say to-"

She was cut short when Nina entered the room. Mara avoided her eyes while the other girls looked uneasy to them.

"Don't worry," Nina smiled "I'm here to help."

The other Anubis girls sighed in relief as Nina and Mara hugged.

"Squee!" Willow screamed as she joined in at the hug of Mara and Nina.

"Group Hug!" Amber squealed.

And the rest of the girls joined their hug.

"Okay, okay," Joy pulled away from them "Let's get going. We, well Mara really, still have a date to go to."

"Make up time!" Amber said pushing Mara back to her seat.

For the rest of the time the Anubis girls talked about what Mara should wear and where will Fabian take her.

"Nina," Mara asked shyly "When you had your first date with Fabian... where-where did he take you?"

Nina laughed, she remembered their first date "Our first date wasn't exactly what you call a romantic first date. I don't think that was even considered a first date."

"Really?" Everyone urged her to tell the story.

"Well, it was actually the day after my "initiation"; the day where I went to the attic." Nina beamed at Patricia.

Patricia avoided her eyes. "I- I don't remember that..." she denied.

The other girls laughed at her.

"The night after my little trip to the attic, I told Fabian about what I saw and uh... he said he wanted to... accompany me? But the key to the attic was 'lost' right, Patricia? So we had to improvise and stuff..." Nina shrugged.

"Again, not guilty." Patricia raised her hands up innocently.

Nina rolled her eyes. "But yeah, that was it... I don't know where he'll take you but if you ask me, I think it would either be a Museum or a Library."

"Or an old movie house that shows 3 hours of boring documentaries." Joy said "Let's not talk about it." she added, seeing the other girls' eager look for her to tell the story.

"Oh, come on!" Patricia begged.

"We have to help Mara, guys." Joy snapped her fingers at them.

"Okay..."

An hour and a half later, they were finished.

"Well, how do I look?" Mara asked. She was wearing Red blouse, a Black skirt with a belt and ballet flats; it was simple but she never really was a fashion freak like Amber, so that was enough for her.

"Perfect!" Joy, KT, and Amber exclaimed. While the other girls nodded in agreement.

"Okay, it's 7:27 you have 3 minutes to go down and meet Fabian and then we want you two to have fun." Patricia imitated Victor.

"What?! It's almost 7:30! I can't be late!" Mara got up from her chair, got her bag and then darted out of the room.

The other girls laughed at Mara as they follow her out of the room.

When Mara got down, she heard the door of Fabian and Mick's room open and then close. Then Fabian walked to the foot of the stairs. He smiled widely when he saw Mara go down the stairs.

He was wearing a gray unbuttoned polo over a plaid Blue shirt, jeans and sneakers.

"You look perfect" he whispered to her as he help her down the stairs.

"You don't think I over dressed?" she blushed.

"No."

"Guys, it's 7:30!" Alfie teased them, poking his head out of Fabian's and Mick's room.

"Why is Alfie in your room?" she raised an eyebrow.

This time it was Fabian's turn to blush "Well, I uh... I needed a little help." he said.

"Chop, chop guys!" KT clapped her hands as she and the other girls crowd the balcony of the second floor. The rest of the Anubis residents looked at Mara and Fabian, motioning for them to get out of the house.

The two beamed at their friends then they walked out of the house.

There was a short silence between Mara and Fabian as they got farther away from Anubis house.

"So..." Mara muttered "Where will you take me?"

"Sorry? I didn't quite hear you..." Fabian smiled at her.

"I just- I wanted to know where will you take me..."

Fabian took her hand and said "It's a secret..." then he winked at her which made her blush again.

"Can't you at least give me a clue?" she pouted.

Fahian didn't answer, he just walked hand in hand with her.

A few minutes later, Mara saw faint glows of lights and carnival tunes.

"The carnival?" She grinned at him.

"Yes, but no." he replied.

"What do you mean?" Mara frowned. She really getting curious as to where Fabian will take her.

Fabian gripped her hand tightly and then dragged her to the carnival. Mara saw a lot of games and rides but they just walked passed them. "Aren't we gonna play some games?" she questioned as they passed a balloon dart game. She saw a cute little stuffed panda on the prizes, she wanted that.

"We can play any game you want later... but for now..." Fabian pushed her farther away from the carnival games until they were at a clearing behind the whole carnival.

"Fabian, what are we doing-" She broke off when she saw a table and two chairs opposite each other. It had candles in the middle of the table and two plates filled with food.

"Fabian..." Mara murmured, she was having trouble believing what was in front of her.

Fabian blushed "I had trouble where to take you... so..." he scratched the back of his head "I had a little help from the guys... and Jerome told me that you like romantic dinners-"

He was cut short when Mara wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly. "Thank you." she whispered to his ear.

"Anything for you." he smiled.

Then he guided her to the table. He pulled the chair for her then after, he sat at the other side of the table.

For the rest of the night Mara and Fabian talked about their families and how hard it was to be a straight A student:

"They just always expect that have to do good in everything!"

"They always do!"

They talked about science theories, formulas, chemical reactions and other science stuff.

"Thank you again, Fabian. I don't know what else to say, I've been having a really hard time these days and you've always been there for me." Mara said when they finished eating.

He blushed again "Don't worry about it, I'll always be there for you."

"Now, come on." he stood up from his chair and walked to her "Let's go get that stuffed panda that you like."

"How did you know I liked that panda?" she laughed as he offered his hand to help her up.

"I saw you look at it earlier." then he dragged her back to the carnival.

After a few tries on the balloon dart game, Fabian finally manage to get hit the balloon with the panda prize on it.

"So, what can you say about my dart skills?" he asked as they walk back to the house. It was already 9:50, Trudy allowed them to be out until midnight but they decided to go home before curfew.

"Eh... It was okay." she taunted. She was clutching the panda tightly to her chest.

They both laughed.

"We should take the other to the carnival next time." Mara suggested "They'll like it there. Even Patricia and Eddie."

Fabian smirked "Yeah, even if they won't admit it."

There was a short silence then Fabian broke it.

"So, what's his name?" Fabian beamed at her.

Mara knitted her eyebrows together, finally she answered "Isaac."

"Isaac? Like Isaac Newton?" he grinned.

"Yeah!"

Then they entered the Anubis house, after they bid each other goodnight they both settled in their rooms. Everyone else was already asleep so, Mara decided that she'll just tell the story to the other girls the next day.

Fabian and Mara both fell asleep thinking about their date with Mara still holding on to Isaac the panda. Their first date was perfect- it was simple and fun.

A/N: There it is! A Mabian one shot! Just to clear things up, I ship both Mabian and Fabina. I just got inspired by Taylor Swift's song Begin Again, 'cause the first time I heard it I immediately thought of Mabian and this is how it turned out to be. I hope you Mabian shippers like it and for Fabina shippers don't worry I can still do Fabina one shots so, no hate. Anyway, review. I'm also accepting prompts and requests for any ship that you fancy.

Thanks for your support and I hope you liked this one!
