Lonna nibbled on a Twizzler she had bought from the vending machine on their way in. Holding the bag out to Steve she shook it to get his attention. He was in shook from the moment they walked into the Sony Wonder Technology Lab, an exhibit in Manhattan. By the sound of the ruffling bag, his eyes locked in on it, a small smile creeping across his face.
"Want one?" Lonna beamed.

Steve reached into the bag, retracting a string of liquorish and bit into it with a dorky smile. "This place is pretty cool!"
Lonna chuckled at his excitement, "We haven't even got passed the entrance," she said, gesturing towards the door behind them.

Steve blushed slightly, returning his attention towards the Twizzler, nibbling on it. "So...let's check out the exhibits," he suggested, moving forward.

Lonna smiled to herself, following closely behind him.

The pair entered their selves into the system, as explained at the beginning and became part of the exhibit their selves. "I never would have guessed that your favorite color would be orange," Lonna admitted, after they logged into the system.

Steve chuckled to himself, "What did you think it was, red, white, or blue?" he teased.

Lonna pursed her lips sheepishly, "Kinda."

"Well, I must admit, there's nothing better than good ol' red, white and blue, but there's just something interesting about orange. Though you're one to talk, I never expected someone who wears so much purple to have green as a favorite color."

Lonna gave him a sly smile as if she was hiding something, "You're quite the observant one, aren't you?"

Steve only smiled back at her as he continued on, making his way through the first part of the exhibit. The first part was quite interesting, but once they got to the "Anytime/Anywhere Timeline", that's when things really got interesting. Both got to experience firsthand, how far media and communications technology had come over time. With the use of pictures they took at the beginning and voice recordings, they got to hear sound quality and picture clarity among other technological advances. They had fun working down the line of interactive stations, but decided to bypass the robot section.

"I think I've had enough of robots, to last a lifetime," Steve joked, "If I have to see another one of Starks toys, I'm gonna have to flip a table."

"Toys, you say," Lonna snickered, "Sounds kinky."

Steve flustered slightly until he realized she was only teasing. "God, you make me so uncomfortable," he blurted out.
Lonna stopped mid stride with a frown, "I'm sorry I make you feel that way," she mumbled.
Steve panicked, "I didn't mean it like that."

"Sure sounded like that."

Steve clicked his teeth coupled with a sigh. Turning to face Lonna, he smiled down at her and rested his hands on her shoulders. "What I mean is, you give me that strange, awkward feeling of being back in high school. Back when I was the weird kid who couldn't get a word in edge wise, to any of the pretty girls," he paused for a second, "actually the first part of my military career as well." He let out a long sigh, "You give me butterflies any time I see you and sometimes some of the stuff you say has...a weird effect on me," he shook his head. "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at talking to women."
The sweet smile returned to Lonna's face as she closed the gap between them, "Gosh, you speak like what happened the first time we met, never happened," she giggled, "you're so adorable."

Steve stuttered, his face heating even more. He watched with careful eyes as Lonna raised onto her tippy toes to plant a light kiss on his lips before continuing onward, "Shall we?" she beamed. He nodded and reluctantly followed. Continuing through the exhibit the two got a good kick out of the "WSWL Production Studio," where they got to experience what it's like to be every part of a news cast set. Both fought over who would be head anchor but they got their turns. The exhibit was coming to an end when Lonna announced she was getting hungry. Steve agreed and they decided they would stop at a local diner for something to eat.

"So this is really starting to feel like a date," Lonna said suddenly.
Steve gaped several times, having an appearance of a fish. "I suppose it could be...I mean if you wanted it to."
Lonna bit her lip, suppressing a smile. Contain yourself, she told herself. He's so innocent it's ridicules, almost sickening, and yet... "How about we head out and get some burgers?"

The diner was quiet, with very few patrons, but the food was very delicious. Steve was being entertained by Lonna dunking her fries into her milk shake like it was gold. "What? It's not bad," she said offering one to Steve.

Steve took it and tried it. With a smile and a shrug, he nodded, "You're right, that's not half bad. You've got quite the appetite, you know."

"I don't know what it is," she admitted, taking another bite, "I'm not usually this hungry, nor this fond of mid-" she paused for a moment, clearing her throat, " mediocre food. This place did a really good job though." Nice save.

"Yeah, it's really great," Steve agreed.

Lonna's phone started to ring, but it took her a few seconds to realize it was hers. Pulling it from her purse, she answered it and pressed it to her ear. "Hello?" The smile quickly fell from her face, "Yes...yes Sir...ok...yes." she hung up her phone and looked to Steve grimly. "There's been an attack downtown," she announced."

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, and if there are any errors, I'll go back and fix it later. The next chapter gets really interesting.
