I took a seat in my usual back booth, same place I'd sit every week.
"Oh, Hey Elliott, same as usual?" said my usual waitress, her name is Abigail Carson, been working in the pizzeria for almost a year now. Let's just say she's the only reason why I still eat there.
"Na..." I started, "how 'bout a sausage, pepperoni, and extra cheese, I feel like eating normal today."
"Why? I liked watching Nick try to make your olive, pepper, sardine, pepperoni, cheese and pineapple pizza, I liked watching him get angry at it." She joked. "Anything else?"
"Well… I've always wanted to ask you this…." I'm sweating, oh god I'm nervous... "Would you…like to go…on a date…with me?" God I sounded stupid, what the hell was I think-
"Sure, I'll take you up on that offer"
My eyes shot open, "Really?... Let's just say you're the first girl I asked out."
"But you've had Girlfriends."
Yeah…had girlfriends, the only reason they dated me is because I'm a power ranger."
"Sounds kind of depressing, if you ask me." She turned around and started to walk the other direction. She took the slip off the pad and put it on the counter; she then went to the window behind the counter. "Hey Nick, Elliott's eating normal, make a sausage, pepperoni, and extra cheese…and make it a deep dish."
But deep dish costs more.
"I'm paying for the deep dish." She said, as if she was reading my mind.
Wait, maybe she has powers….wait, maybe I'm just going crazy. After about five minutes, Abigail came back with a fresh pizza.
"Here you go." She said as she put it down on the table and took a seat across from me. She then took the pizza cutter and began to slice it. "So, how's work?" she's starting the small talk.
"Great I guess. Nothing too special happening. No evil aliens trying to take over the world yet."
"Yet?"
"Well like what happen 20 years ago, it could happen again, just not with Grumm in charge."
Abigail just shook her head and laughed slightly. "Elliott, nothing like that is ever going to happen again." She took a slice of pizza and put it on her plate. "Why do you think it'll happen again?"
This world is unpredictable… "I don't know"
"This world is unpredictable, but it's impossible"
I know I gave her a double take, she did just read my mind I know it. "Did you just read my mind?" I asked bluntly.
"I might've." She started to blush.
Wow… I'm kind of speechless at the moment. Unknowing what to say back to her.
"You're not mad, are you?" She asked sincerely.
"No, not at all."
I finally got back to the delta base; it only took me about 3 minutes to get back. That motorcycle really does come in handy. I walked into my room to find Polly and Adrian… making out.
"Break it up kiddies, the parents are home." I joked causing them to break their 'concentration'.
"Oh hey Elliott didn't see you come in." Adrian said
"Yeah, it's almost impossible to make out with your eyes open." I took a seat on my bed. "So my matchmaking worked?"
They both nodded.
"You seen happy." Polly finally spoke. "What'd you do?"
"Nothing."
"Did Elli meet a girl?"
"Maybe."
"Oh my god, you asked Abby out, didn't you?" Adrian said, the thought obviously sinking in to that miniscule brain of his.
"Yes, I asked Abby out… and she said yes." I then began to wiggle in my seat, obviously still happy I got the nerves to ask her out.
Now I question myself… Why am I acting like a fan girl? It's not like she's the lead singer of some rock band, But I could say she's hot enough to be in one.
