AN another late installment for Skyeward month Yay! I had fun writing this one

Skyeward month week 2 day 3: humor, please read and review!

Ward finally got up the courage to ask Skye out on a date,after practicing for hours in front of the mirror. He was extremely nervous and feared she would say no, but to his surprise and relief she said yes and he couldn't be happier, he may have even cheered a little when he got back to his room. He began planning right away, he wanted the date to be perfect, after all that's what Skye deserved. It took a while but he was finally able to plan out what he hoped would be the perfect date...

The night of the date had finally arrived and he walks over to her room to pick her up, she opens up the door a few seconds after he knocks.

"I hope this is alright" she says.

She's wearing a t-shirt with her blue plaid over shirt and some jeans, her hair is slightly curled and she's wearing light make up,(they had decide they were just going to dress casually) she's absolutely beautiful, she always is...

"It's just fine Skye" he says with a smile.

They head to the car and start out on the road, it's not even fifteen minutes later when the car breaks down. He grumbles worried that this will ruin the date, he calls a mechanic and then they wait. He glances over at Skye expecting her to be mad or upset, but shes smiling, and asks him if he wants to play battleship(she has a mobile version on her phone) and they play while sitting on the hood of the car and even draw pictures into the dust on the windshield(the car needs a good wash as well) while they wait for the mechanic. Time seems to fly by as they play Skye wins every time and before he's knows it the mechanic is there. They both hop off the hood of the car while the mechanic looks at it. He joins Skye by the side of the road and they admire the scenery. The guy eventually fixes the car and they are on their way once again.

They arrive at the restaurant where he had made reservations earlier, but apparently something got messed up in the electrical system and they have to wait an hour later than when they were supposed to be seated. He's once again fearful the date has been ruined, but Skye slips her hand into his and leads him out of the restaurant, asking him if they can tour the town while they wait, because it's one of those quaint little towns and she loves touring those types of towns. The town is cute enough and there are plenty of little shops to enter. Skye finds a bracelet in one of the stores that she absolutely loves, it's simple, a fine chained silver bracelet with a little crescent moon charm, and because he loves seeing he smile he buys it for her and places it around her wrist, he feels a tingling in his fingers as their skin brushes. The hour has finally passed and they go back to the restaurant. She orders a burger and he orders a steak. The food takes a long time to come out, the kitchen is extremely busy tonight, but they pass the time by talking, he loves seeing her light up as she talks about her favorite things. The food finally arrives only for the waiter trip and spill the food, some of it lands on Skye. Ward closes his eyes expecting to hear screaming or crying, but instead he hears laughing his eyes fly open and see Skye smiling and laughing.

"I thought that only happened in the movies" she said in between laughs.

"I am so sorry ma'am" replies the waiter.

"It's fine, it was just an accident." she says with a wave of her hand.

They bring out their new food and it makes it to the table this time, they get a discounted price and a free dessert to make up for the accident.

"Oh my god!" Skye exclaims as her eyes light up "this is the best chocolate soufflé I have ever had!, you have to try it Ward!"

He dose try it for her, and it is pretty delicious. They then head out towards the theater, but when they get there Ward can't find the tickets, they must have fallen out somewhere, and the theater is sold out of tickets. For what feels like the hundredth time he fears the date is ruined, but Skye notices a park across the street and pulls him towards it. She intertwines their hands as they stroll through the park. Twilight soon falls and the air is filled with fireflies. The night is beautiful, but not as beautiful as her. He leads her to an open grassy area and puts his arms around her waist, and slowly starts swaying slowly. Her arms come up around his neck and he pulls her closer. They don't need music, they dance to the chorus of crickets and frogs in the distance. Not long after the sprinklers turn on dowsing them in water.(Ward is convinced he has the worst luck ever) he pulls away and sighs.

"What's wrong Ward?"

"I'm so sorry Skye, this is probably the worst date you have ever been on." He says turning away from her.

"On the contrary Grant it's the best date I've been on"

"How can you say that when everything went wrong..."

"Because it was, the car broke down but, we got to play battleship, draw silly little pictures on the windshield and see the beautiful landscape. Our restaurant reservation got pushed back, but if it hadn't we never would have got to tour the town and find that little bracelet. The waiter spilled our food, but we got a discount and the best chocolate soufflé ever! The tickets got lost, but we got to walk through this beautiful park and we got to dance, and as for the sprinklers, well it was pretty hot so it was refreshing."

Ward stared at her dumbstruck, here was thinking he had taken her on the worst date ever, and yet being who she was she had found the positive things, had stayed optimistic.

"How are you so..." He trailed off

"So what?"

"So amazing, all these terrible things happen to us and here you are looking on the bright side..."

"It's not the actual date that matters Grant, it's just the fact we get to spend time together, that's what's important I would have been happy enough to stay on the bus with you and watch netfl..."

But the rest of her sentence is cut off because he's kissing her, he just can't help himself, and she's kissing him back her arms wrapping around his neck again. They break apart after the need for air their foreheads resting together.

"Thanks for everything." She whispers

"You're welcome" he replies as he leans in for another kiss...

Grant Ward loves Skye for many reasons, but perhaps one of the reasons he loves her the most is because she always looks on the bright side.
