Chapter 7

4 months later

It has been four months after Dimitri's first mission and four months after the very busy day that Dimitri spent in the medical room. However thanks to Rose he suspects nothing about all the important pieces that happened during that day like his very strange dream.

He was spending his time in the cafeteria with his friends. There was himself and Kirk as usual, with another one of Dimitri's friend named Caroline. She and Dimitri weren't exactly friends but they did respect each other and put up with each other. They have always competed to be the best, but when there was nothing to compete about they hung out.

It was lunch time in the academy, and everyone got a break and got to eat. Dimitri was at his table talking to his friends when he sees Rose and her friend. Dimitri blushed and his eyes just focused on the black haired girl who he knew nothing about, except the fact that she works in the Medical Wing. Kirk noticed this and tried to figure out what girl he was looking at. He then figured it was either Rose or the girl next to her.

"Yo Dimitri you crushing on her?" Kirk pointed to the girl that was next to Rose.

"No… uh… of course not." Dimitri looked away, but he was still blushing and he was trying to avoid eye contact with his friend.

"Righhht… who is she anyway?" Kirk asked.

"I don't know. All I know is that she works in the Medical Wing."

"You mean you're in love with her and you don't know her name." Kirk looked back and laughed a little. "Love is a very strange thing."

"I NEVER SAID I LIKED HER." Dimitri yelled at his friend.

"I think her name is Kate." Caroline stated.

"How come you know this and we don't." Kirk asked.

"I actually do some teacher's aide instead of just going back to my dorm to goof off." Caroline said looking proud. "Anyway she just got here at the academy from California because she was doing terrible there, so they moved her here hoping she would do better as a nurse."

"Hey Dimitri you catch all that." Kirk looked back at Dimitri and saw that he was staring again and just nodding, as if to pretend he was listening. "HEY DIMITRI!"

"Huh… what happened?" Dimitri said quickly.

"*Sigh*. You're hopeless. Just go ask her out." Kirk sat back on his chair and went back to his lunch, while Caroline just poked through her food.

"Ugh food's awful here." Caroline put down her fork. She tried to strike a conversation with her friends, but she saw Dimitri was gone. She looked behind her and saw him, walking towards Rose and Kate. "Hey look Kirk, looks like Dimitri's gonna make his first move." Kirk looked behind him and saw his friend walk through the cafeteria over to Rose and Kate's table.

Dimitri was dying on the inside. He was going to ask a girl on a first date. 'What should I say, where should we go, does she even like me?' These thoughts ran through Dimitri's head as he was nearing Kate's table. 'Well now or never.' He was right in front of Rose and Kate. They stopped their conversation with each other and looked up to see Dimitri, his face red, sweat pouring from his head, and him shaking violently.

"Hi Dimitri… ummm are you feeling okay." Rose asked.

"Maybe he needs another visit to the Medical Wing." Kate suggested.

"Wait… no… I'm fine… really." Dimitri stuttered.

"Okay then." Rose said. "Then why are you here."

"I'm here… to… ummmm… ASK KATE OUT." Dimitri grabbed his arm and started to squeeze it tight. Kate just stared at him, and this made Dimitri more nervous.

"Hehehehehehe… no." Kate laughed a little and just blurted it out. Dimitri felt his world shatter. He didn't think that no would be an option. 'Great now what, do I just walk away.'

"Ok then… bye." With that Dimitri turned around, still very nervous, and walked off. When he was about to take a step he heard giggling, He turned back around and saw that it was Kate. She was giggling trying to resist laughing.

"Just kidding, of course you can ask me out. Where do you want to go?" Kate looked at him with a smile. Dimitri sighed and started to think. 'Where could I take here, and when?'

"How about the beach near the academy at 6 o' clock tonight." Dimitri said.

"Sounds good, I'll meet you there." Kate then turned back to Rose and started talking to her again. Dimitri sighed and went back to his table. His friends just stared at him with a look that said 'Did she say yes?'

"I have a date tonight with Kate guys." Dimitri said proudly.

"That's great Dimitri, where are you headed." Caroline said.

"Forget the place; well job my friend it's time to take a page from my book labeled "World of Hotties."" Kirk put his shoulder over his friend and tried to make him envision the scene of the date. "Now first you have to make it seem you're not…" Before Kirk could finish Caroline hit him on the head with the lunch tray.

"Don't fill his mind with perverted things please. What women love are romantic things like sunsets, walks all that stuff."

"Pfff… Don't listen to her. Women love a guy who is not afraid to jump ahead and…" Caroline hit him again with her lunch tray.

"Just shut up, thank you very much."

"Sorry guys I'm gonna have to do this my way, but thanks anyway." Dimitri took a deep breath. Tonight was going to be a busy night.

A/N: Well this is not what I expected. I was planning on making this chapter and skipping a year ahead, but thanks to the date I have to make another chapter covering that. By the way anyone can review this story so yea review away, but only constructive stuff. Thanks for reading and R&R. Yay I posted this one after the one I posted yesterday. I'm gonna give a few hints for what's coming up so if you don't want to read it then skip it.

Kate is going to be a really useful character for the sequel (YES the sequel. I will be doing one if this has good reviews. In fact I'm planning to do 2 so yeah. I already have it figured out in my brain.

After the next chapter it should skip to 8 months and during that time Dimitri will get more missions, fight the American Dragon more, and go on more dates with Kate.

So yea this is all the stuff that should happen.
