Hey guys! Three updates in three days! Either I'm really dedicated, or really stupid for doing these, and not getting enough sleep. Either way, as long as you guys are happy, I'm happy. So this chapter wasn't that hard to come up in general. I was just really busy to finish, but now that I'm a High School Grad, I got the whole summer ahead of me (well till August 25th cause that's when I head off to college. Can't wait!). So, here's chapter 4 of "In Love and War". So, do me a hug favor: Read and Review, and enjoy!
The day of Felicity, Chris, and Pit's adventure to Bowser's Castle in Dark Land have passed, as well as a few other days as well. Soon enough, it's Thursday, the day before Chris and Wendy are supposed to be on their first date. Chris is sitting at a table nervously in the garden, thinking about what Felicity has planned for him. Ever since Chris admitted to the duo that he had no idea what to do on a date, the teenage princess took upon herself (with Pit's help) to help the Blastoise be prepared for his date in any way he possibly can. Felicity wearing her lavender dress, and her hair in it's usual hairstyle, finally enters the garden with big and bright smile on her face.
"Hey Chris! Are you ready for you lovely date for the day?"
"Yeah I'm ready. So, have a seat, and we'll start."
"Sorry Krissy boy, but I ain't your date. We're best friends, and it's way easier for you to talk to me and such because of it. So instead, we'll have someone you're not familiar with to play your date!" Felicity says cheerfully as she walks toward the table, and leans on the empty seat.
"So if you won't be my date, then who is?"
"I am so glad you asked that question! May I present to you, your date!" Felicity points to the door. Suddenly a young woman in a pink dress, with white wings, angel accessories, pink high-heeled shoes, and with short, light brown hair, walk into the garden. Chris can't stop staring at her, but not because she's a looker, but because it's fairly obvious that it's Pit primped and in a dress. Chris looks at Felicity with an "Are you serious?" look on his face. Felicity tries as hard as she cannot to laugh at his reaction, and Pit in a dress.
"Fifi! That's Pit in a dress!"
"Well for today, HER name is a Patricia, and she'll be your pretend date."
"I don't know Fifi. This doesn't feel right."
"Well, I don't care if it doesn't. It took me over 2 hours to get him in a dress, primped and such, and that's how we're keeping it! Just grin and bear. If you can handle Pit in a dress and heels, then you can handle Wendy easy."
"Felicity." Chris says in a warning tone.
"Kidding! Old habits die hard you know. Now, what do you do first when you and you date arrive to the restaurant?"
"Ummm, we order food?"
"No! You get up and pull out her chair! Jeez, don't you know anything when it comes to taking a girl out?"
"Well, no. I haven't been on too many dates."
"Obviously. So, get up and pull her chair out! What are you waiting for? An invitation? Move!" Chris hurriedly gets up from his own chair, and walks to the other chair, and pulls it out. Pit reluctantly sits down in the chair. Chris goes back into his chair, and looks at Felicity.
"So, what do I do next?"
"Compliment her on her appearance! Duh!"
"Oh right. Ummm, you have nice muscles-OW!" Chris says honestly, but not after Felicity slaps him in the back of his head with her right own.
"Felicity! What was that for?"
"You don't compliment her on her muscles! You got to choose a feature that girls really want to be complimented in. For example: Her eyes, her smile, and her outfit. Something easy for you, but meaningful to her. Now, try again."
"Okay. You have…lovely eyes."
"Much better. Patricia, respond to him with a thank you, and a compliment."
"Why am I even doing this in the first place?"
"Because you really care about your best friend, and your feelings for me, so go do it."
"Fine! The things I do for love. Thank you-"
"In a woman's voice!"
"You can't be serious!"
"You got to make it sound real! So try as best as you can to do the voice!" Pit gives in again as he sighs once more.
"Thank you very much, Chris. You have such cute ears." Pit says in his best woman voice, causing Felicity and Chris to bust out laughing. Pit blushes in embarrassment, and to get angry.
"Hey! You said to try my best!"
"I know, but that sounded horrible! That didn't even sound like a woman at all!" Felicity says as she laughs so hard, she starts to cry. Pit crosses his arms, and moves back into his chair.
"Anyways, other than Pit's horrible impression of a woman (Pit: Hey!), you're doing pretty good so far. Don't forget to make some small talk!"
"Small talk?"
"Yeah. Ask her about her interests, hobbies, likes, dislikes, the such. Now, you and I both know that you have great table manners, so let's just move on to dancing."
"D-d-dancing?"
"Yeah. So, get up, and ask her to dance."
"But I don't know how to dance."
"Well that's alright! I'll teach ya but we gotta start slow." Chris nods as he gets up, walks to Patricia's table, and extends his hand to her (him).
"Will you do me the honor of dancing with me?"
"I would be honored." Pit awkwardly takes his hand into Chris, and they walk toward the middle of the garden.
"Now Chris, hold his hand with your hand, and out the other hand on her waist. Patricia, put your other hand on his shoulder."
"WHAT?" Both guys scream in outrage.
"You can't be serious Fifi!"
"I agree! You really want us to do all that?"
"Yes I do. Now shut the heck up, stop complaining, and just do it!" Both guys sigh and gives each other an apologetic look. They holds hands, Chris put his hand on Pit's waist, and Pit put his his shoulder. Felicity walks to her Itouch, and plays some very beautiful slow dance music. She walks back to the couple.
"Okay Chris, you're the boy, so you need to lead your partner to follow where you want to go. Just follow the music, and lead her to it too." Chris nods as he tries as hard to lead, and he does pretty well, except for the fact that he's staring at his feet.
"Don't stare at the ground! Your focus in on your partner! Just follow where the music takes you!"
"OW!"
"Sorry Pit! Are you okay?" Felicity stops the music, and rushes over the angel, who's clutching his foot in pain.
"Pit, what happened?"
"He stepped on my foot with his giant feet!" Felicity deeply sighs as puts his hands on his foot, and it glows a lavender color. A few minutes later, the light fades, and his foot is healed.
"Thank you."
"This is hopeless! I'll never learn how to dance with her. I'll most likely break her delicate feet!"
"Aw Krissy boy! That's not true! You were doing fairly well for a beginner. You just need more confidence in yourself! You can definitely do it! I'm sure you can!"
"Well if I had a demonstration, maybe I could get it a little bit better."
"How do we know you're just saying that so you could see us dance."
"C'mon Fifi! I desperately need help to impress Wendy! If I can prove it to her that I'm not a loser tomorrow, then there's a really big chance that we will have a second date!"
"Well, I'm not that good of a dancer, so I can't really help you out there."
"That's not true. You're an amazing dancer. I've seen you dance before."
"Pit's right. So how about that demonstration?"
"I guess we can dance for a few minutes, but watch closely. There needs be a connection between the man and his lady. if there isn't any connection, then the dance will not be a success. You understand right?"
"Yeah." Pit gets up from his spot with his newly healed foot. He walks toward Felicity, and when he arrives, he bows, and offers his hand to her.
"So, will you do me the honor of sharing this dance with me?" Felicity smiles at the angel as Chris turns on Felicity's Itouch to the same song.
"I would be very honored to." Felicity says as she takes his hand. They walk to the middle of the garden (the same spot Chris and Pit were minutes ago). They hold each others' hands, Pit put his free hand on her waist (while pulling her closer to him, surprising her, and causing her to blush a deep crimson color), and Felicity puts her free hand on his shoulder. The couple moves with the music so flawlessly, never taking their eyes of each other. Pit twirls her around a few times, causing her to blush again. When the song is over, Pit dips her, and he holds her back up, so she can face him. They stay in the position as they both breathe very hard. They both move faces a little closer, closer, closer to kissing range, when they suddenly hear applause. They both turn their heads to the sound of the applause. It is revealed to be Chris, along with Mario and Toad (who came here while they were dancing very sneakily).
"Very beautiful guys. I definitely learned how to dance better with you demonstration."
"Well, Felic is an awesome dancer, but I didn't know Pit had some suave moves too."
"Very well done, Pit. You too kiddo.. You guys were made to dance with each other."
"Thanks." The couple mumbles as Pit pulls her back up, and they separate embarrassed.
"Oh and Pit? Nice dress you're wearing. It really brings out your eyes!" Mario says as he, Toad and Chris laugh at him once more. Pit groans in embarrassment once more. Felicity can't help but feel a little bit sorry for Pit, and a little bit responsible for the teasing. Well, just a little bit.
"So why are you all dolled up in the first place?" Toad asks to the angel. Pit takes a deep breath, and exhales a deep sigh.
"Chris has his first date with a girl tomorrow, so Felicity and I thought we helped him out with it by setting up a hypothetical date with me dressed up as a girl."
"Well, good for you too! Yoshi and I did that for Weegee before his big first date with Daisy."
"Wait, You did this for Lou! Why didn't you tell me, I could have joined in too!"
"Sorry kiddo. He wanted it to be between men. He didn't want a girl to know because he would feel more embarrassed if they did. That's why he wouldn't let us tell you, Peach, and especially Daisy."
"Yup. Sounds like Lou alright. Oh well. What are you guys doing here in the first place?"
"Well, the princess wanted to make sure everything was going alright out here. You know how she is, and such."
"We were just checking up on you for Peach's sake kiddo. She was getting worried about the three of you. But seeing you guys alright, we'll just head back inside now. Later guys. C'mon Toad." Mario says as he heads back inside, with Toad following behind them. They quickly says their good byes, and get back to work.
"So, did you see what we did in that dance, Krissy?"
"Yeah Fifi. But..."
"Wassup, Chris?"
"Well, I'm really touched that you guys did this for me, even wearing a dress and heels, and make a horrible impersonation of a woman (Pit: I thought we were over this already.), just to help me on Wendy and I's date, but I know that I won't feel as prepared now, as I will tomorrow. I'll be a nervous wreck then."
"Well what do you want us to do? Double date?" Felicity says sarcastically. Chris's eyes widen as he gets an idea from her sarcastic remark.
"That's a great idea Fifi!"
"I'm sorry. What is?"
"You two could double date with us!"
"What?" The shocked couple screams out in unison.
"Think about it! You guys can help throughout the whole date, plus you can finally have that date you two always wanted to have! It's a win-win for the three of us!"
"He does have a point, Felic."
"What?"
"Well, we can help him tomorrow night, so his date will go smoothly, and we can finally go on our first real date together. Our real first date! A date where you deserve all the finest, and most fanciest of all."
"Exactly Pit! So, will you double date with Wendy and I, guys?"
"Felicity, will you go on a real first date with me tomorrow night?" Pit says as he takes her hands into his own. Felicity realizes that she is sorely outnumbered, and that is to help out, and she was always willing to help anyone in need. She takes a deep sigh, then smiles at the both of them.
"I would love to!"
"Thank you guys so much! I really owe you one!"
"Don't think nothing of it."
"Yeah. We're your friends Krissy, and we always got your back. So, now that means I have to find an incredibly great and fancy dress by tomorrow! Oh my gosh! I gotta go in my closet. Be right back!" Felicity says as she realizes that she has to find a really nice and fancy dress by tomorrow night for her "first real" date. She runs out of the garden, into the castle, and into her room. Pit and Chris just stare and do an anime sweat drop in shock at the girl's actions.
"So Chris, where are we taking our dates tomorrow?"
"Well, I got an awesome idea. Come closer, and I'll whisper it in your ear." Pit complies, and Chris whispers it in his ear. His eye's widen at his idea, and looks at him.
"Are you serious?"
"100%"
"Wow. You're really good."
"Yeah I know. I'm sure they'll both love it."
"You were planning on asking us to double date with you two before, weren't you?"
"To tell you the truth, yeah. But Fifi beat me to the punch. So, what do you want to do now? Fifi's gonna be up there for a while."
"You have a point. Wanna play tennis while we wait for her to come down?"
"Sure." Chris says as he and Pit walks to the Tennis courts, as they wait for Felicity to come back down, and secretly, the day to be over, so tomorrow can finally begin.
