A/N: Sorry I've been busy lately and since I don't have the internet at my house, I can only post from the library, who's internet sometimes works, and sometimes don't. Anyway, here's the first date for Original Caleb and Miranda. Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do NOT Own Ravenswood, or Miranda and Caleb, damn. :(


CHAPTER 4: First Date, 1915.

Miranda sat in front of the vanity mirror, brushing her hair in soft and even strokes. She was going out with Caleb tonight, and she was excited.


Miranda sat at the table in silence, eating her own food quietly. She could hear the clatter of the utensils as they hit the glass plate. It was Saturday, which meant the the Rivers' family was over for dinner.

Ever since Caleb and Miranda had met, their mothers had started talking and decided to start a friendship. Now every Saturday for the past year, the Rivers' would come over and join the Collins for dinner.

Miranda had become quite good friends with Caleb over the past year, he's even introduced her to his friend Luke Matheson. She had formed a bit of a friendship with Luke, even though they didn't talk often. She would usually talk with his twin sister, Olivia, and the two girls had formed an immediate friendship.

She glanced across the table to see Caleb looking at her, she grinned and looked back at her food.

"Miranda," she turned her attention to Caleb's mother, "how are your studies going?" Miranda set her fork down and turned her attention fully to Mrs. Rivers, "Fine, thank you." Mrs. Rivers nodded smiling before turning to Esther, trying to start up a conversation.

Miranda suddenly heard something hit the floor and someone crawling under the table. She turned to see that the adults haven't even noticed what was going on. She quickly lifted the table cloth and looked under the table. Miranda saw a little boy crawling, trying to pick up the fork he dropped.

She recognized the boy immediately, it was Henry, Caleb's little brother. She watched as the eleven year old picked up his fork, and started to crawl back to his seat when she caught his eye. Henry smiled and waved and Miranda waved back, trying to hold in her laughter.

As Henry was crawling back to his seat, Miranda sat back up and smoothed the table cloth down. She looked up and saw Caleb watching her, a confused glint in his eyes. "Henry" she mouthed. He nodded in understanding and continued to eat.

After a few more minutes of silence for her, chatter for her parents, and Henry playing with his food, Miranda stood, smoothed down her dress, and took her plate to the kitchen to be washed.

As she was cleaning her plate, Miranda heard footsteps come up from behind her. She turned her head and watched as Caleb stood beside her and grabbed another cloth and started to clean his plate.

Silence hung over the two as they scrubbed at the plates. Miranda washed the soap suds off her dish and grabbed a small towel to dry it with. "How are you?" She lifted her head at his question and smiled slightly. "Fine thank you." "Good."

Caleb rinsed the suds off of his plate and Miranda offered him the towel. He smiled, took it and started to dry his plate off. She turned and set her plate in one of the cabinets and dried her hands off on another towel that they kept around.

She was just about to leave the kitchen when she felt a wet hand grab hers. "Um, Miranda," Miranda turned to see Caleb looking at her nervously. He noticed his hand and retracted it, grabbing the towel and drying his hands off before handing it to her. Miranda dried her hand off and set the towel back down, "yes?"

Caleb shifted on his feet nervously and looked up at her, "I was wondering if you would like to join me at the cinema tomorrow." Miranda tilted her head slightly. She thought about it for a moment.

She smiled, "Sure."

Miranda watched as he smiled and said, "I'll pick you up at 8:00 then?" She nodded and smiled back at him.


Miranda glanced at the clock and noticed that it was only 7:45. She turned back to the mirror and picked up her brush again, coming it through her hair once more.

She heard a knock on her door, "Miranda?" She recognized her mother's voice and invited her in. When Esther Collins walked into her daughter's room she smiled. She thought Miranda looked beautiful tonight. She walked over to her daughter and watched as she dragged her brush easily through her hair.

Esther lightly set her hands on Miranda's shoulders. Miranda set the brush down and smiled at her mother in the mirror. "Nervous darling?" She nodded, "just a little."

Esther smiled softly and started to set the young girl's hair into a bun. "Don't you worry, Caleb is a fine young man. I'm sure he will take care of you tonight." Miranda smiled and stood when her mother was finished. She turned and hugged Esther.

"Thank you mother." She said as she pulled away from Esther. Her mother placed her hands on the other sides of the girl's cheeks and pressed a kiss on her forehead. "You're welcome darling." Miranda smiled and stepped away, grabbing her gloves of the vanity. She slipped them on and Esther pulled out a locket from her dress pocket.

"Turn around." She ordered and when her daughter's back was to her, Esther slid the locket around her neck, and snapped the clasp of the necklace shut. "You can borrow this for tonight."

Miranda lightly fingered the locket and turned around to protest. Her mother held up a hand and hugged her again.

There was another knock on the door and Miranda looked to see her father poking his head in, his eyes closed. "Are you decent young lady?" He teased. Esther laughed, "Yes she is." He opened his eyes and smiled. "Caleb is waiting for you Miranda dear." Miranda nodded and smiled before hugging her father, "thank you."

She walked out of the room and down the stairs. When she was on the very last step, she saw him turn around and smile at her. Miranda walked over to him and smiled, "You look very nice." He smiled and brought his hand from behind his back, producing a single flower, a oxeye daisy, her favorite. Her smile widened and she took the flower from him, "thank you Caleb."

He smiled, "You're welcome." Caleb looked behind her, "I'll have her home by curfew." He watched as Mr. and Mrs. Collins nodded and he opened the door.

Miranda walked out, Caleb following.


Caleb led Miranda back up the steps to her house. The night was great in their opinion. They had seen the movie 'A Fool There Was' starring Theda Barra. Afterwards Caleb and Miranda had taken a stroll around Ravenswood, he eventually had the courage to hold her hand and he smiled when she didn't object.

"I had a lovely time tonight. Thank you Caleb." Miranda smiled at him. The two stood outside her front door, wanting a little extra time to themselves.

Slowly, Miranda raised herself, to the point that she was standing on her toes, and kissed his cheek lightly. She was about to walk into her house, before deciding to do something else.

She turned around and saw that he was still standing there, smiling in fatigue. Miranda lightly chuckled and raised her hand. She lightly poked Caleb on the forehead, causing his head to tilt back slightly. He looked at her, confused. "What was that for?"

She smiled, "It keeps evil spirits away. Goodnight Caleb." Miranda turned and walked into her house, closing the door behind her.

Caleb stood there for a moment before he laughed, realizing it. While on the stroll with Miranda, he took her by the Ravenswood cemetery, telling her about the flood that happened in the late 19th Century.


A/N: Sorry that I didn't have them actually on the date. I didn't have any other ideas so, suck it up. :). I'm sad, I tried Ravenswood wikia, to check that I was spelling Luke's last name right, I got on the page and everything, but there were no details on the character or any of the others either, they deleted them! My Ravenswood dreams are ending, please try to comfort me? I'm kidding about the whole comforting thing. The next chapter will be the first kiss. Its gonna be interesting.

After I finish with the Original couples' first kiss, I'm gonna take suggestions from you guys because honestly, I'm a little lazy. :)
Give me an idea and I'll try to write it, or type, whatever.

The first person to review on this chapter is gonna be dedicated in the next one. So, REVIEW! Haha.
