Hiya! UGHHHHH... I'm late! Well, just take that as my little break. I would have written something yesterday... But I ended up at my friends house all night. We have very strange sleep-overs... We were reading support conversation from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and in the middle of a sentence I stopped and said. "If it looks like I'm crying. I'm not, my eyes are burning." As tears poured down my face. Yeah... It was three in the morning, we had been in front of a screen since around one-thirty... It makes ones eyes burn... Anyway, I'm rambling. So... Tonight's date-night! And everything that can go wrong, will... MHWAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Ike brought his car to a gentle stop in front of a certain blond's house. This was the night he had been dreaming of, Cross had given him her longest speech yet. And that was saying something. She had told him everything Samus liked, hated and just didn't care about. It had lasted at least two hours.
What had he heard? To bring her flowers, Lilly's of the Valley, to be exact. Apparently, they were her favorites. He would have never known that if it wasn't for Cross... He knew a lot about Samus, they were very good 'friends'.
But he didn't know that she liked Lilly's. That he would have to thank her for.
He strolled up to the door, rang the bell and waited.
His eyes caught a bee, buzzing around the flowers. He tried to shoo it away, but it just buzzed louder. He slapped it with his hand and it spiraled to the ground, it managed to land on it's feet. Only to get back up, angry, and buzz the bluenette in the face.
It landed on his nose, and before he could slap it. It stung him. Right on the end of his nose, of course...
He groaned as he felt the sting, it would leave a mark, obviously. Why him? He wracked his mind for some way to hide his misfortune. Nothing. Then he remembered, he was still wearing his head-band!
He quickly untied it and wrapped it around his nose. Effectively covering the red bump forming on his nose.
And just in time. Samus swung the door open only to be greeted by the blue-haired boy with a bandana wrapped around his face.
"Hey, Ikeee..." She was fighting the urge to laugh. "What's up with the...?" She pointed to his face and he shook his head. He handed her the flowers without saying a word. Her eyes lit up at this. "Oh! Ike, I-I... These are Lilly's..." She sniffed them. "How did you know?"
He shook his head, still saying nothing. He was silently enjoying her smile, it was so out of character for her... But still, he liked it...
She ran back in the house to put them in water. She came tromping back down the porch-steps and looked at the bandana-faced bluenette. "So... Just, why?" She questioned, still confused about this new look.
He shrugged. "Do you really want to know?" He muttered. Finally!
She nodded feverishly, hoping that he wouldn't flake out. He took in a breath and pulled off the bandana, revealing a very large red bump perched on the end of his nose. With much difficulty, she managed to suppress her giggles. Of course he saw them.
"It's not that bad... Is it?" He asked, looking her in the eye.
She smiled at him. "I like it." She stated.
He grinned at her. "Well... "He bowed and held out his hand. "After you, Miss Aran." The playful look in his eyes betrayed the servant like expression. She laughed and accepted his hand. The two walked out to the car and, still not breaking his servant-ness, Ike opened the door for her and shut it. He strolled around the back and climbed in.
He turned the key. Nothing.
He turned it again. Beep, beep, beep...
He let out a huff and rammed his head into the wheel. Samus let out a light hearted sigh. "So... Now what?" She asked, turning to face him. He shook his head.
"Now..." He got out of the car and tromped over to open her door. "Now, we walk!" He huffed. He held out his hand once again, she took it. Again.
They started the long trek to... Samus didn't really know where they were going..."How far away is this place anyway?" She muttered, looking over at her red-nosed date.
"Fifty blocks..." He sighed and looked away from her. She slapped her head with her palm.
Ten minutes of walking in uncomfortable silence later...
"Well..." Samus paused. "It can't get much worse, can it?" She muttered.
Ike's eyes widened and he clapped a hand over her mouth. "Shhh!" He scolded. "Haven't you ever seen those movies were as soon as someone says 'It can't get much worse' it suddenly starts pouring rain?"
She slapped his hand away and scoffed. "Key word: Movies. Ike, that can't possibly happen, the weather channel said no rain."
Thunder boomed in the background.
Samus groaned and glared daggers at the sky (The poor, poor sky...)
He shook his head and clicked his tongue. "Neeeeeever trust the weather channel." He stated as droplets of rain started falling on the poor teenagers. It took two seconds and they were soaked. Ike guided them to a nearby tree, and they dove under.
Ike shook the water off his head and turned to face his date. Only to see that he had just soaked her even more (If that was even possibe) He looked her over, then back at the landscape, which was now flooding. "What just happened?"
She turned to look at him. "The world just said that it hates us."
They faced each other, and for some reason. Samus grinned, he grinned back. Slowly their grins turned into smiles from ear to ear. Something about seeing one another dripping wet, just made them laugh their heads off.
This was a strange picture. A blue-haired boy with a tomato for a nose, sitting under a tree next to a blond girl. In the pouring rain, absolutely drenched, laughing at each other like idiots. Yes, a very nice first date. Cross would be slapping both of them right now...
Oh well.
After recomposing themselves, they sat back and watched the sheets of rain coat the ground. She leaned up against him and smiled. He liked this, oh yes. He liked this a lot.
They stayed like that for who knows how long, the rain slowly died down. Finally. And as if on cue, Ike's phone rang. Samus sat up, this he did not like. He grumbled something under his breath and reached in his pocket, pulled out his phone an flicked it open. "What!... Oh, hey Marth... Yeah... No were not coming- Well I'm sorry! My car wouldn't start!... Yes we tried to walk... Yeah it's raining here too... Dude calm down, I can't come! Sorry, yeesh!... Yeah, I gotta go too." He looked at Samus and mouthed 'Help'. She smirked and waggled her finger at him. He sighed. "Marth... I'm hanging up now... Bye!" He quickly shut the phone.
She chuckled. "Leaving him on his own, eh?"
He looked at her quizzically. "'Eh'? What are you, British?"
She patted him on the head. "No, Ike. Now, where are we eating." She inquired.
He laughed. "Calm down miss piggy. How 'bout McDonalds?"
Cross would slap him for that too.
She smiled. "Great choice for a first date, Ike." She joked. "Very romantic."
At McDonalds...
Ike came bursting through the doors. "Ah, the golden arches! I have arrived!" He yelled. Samus shook her head, thank God they were the only ones here...
They strolled up to the counter. The waitress looked up and covered her mouth. Let's see what she saw... A bluenette, with a big, bright red nose. His hair stcking to his face in dripping clumps. With his hands wrapped around the shoulders of a dripping wet blond girl. She took her hands away from her mouth. "First date, huh?" She smiled.
They shared a friendly laugh. "Is it that obvious?" They asked.
The woman nodded and held her hand in front of the touch-screen. "Yeah... So, what can I get ya?"
Samus, being a teenage girl, ordered a salad and a chicken sandwich. Ike, being a teenage boy, ordered three hamburgers a side of frys and (Becuase of Samus) a salad.
They ate in silence for the most part. Mostly because they were starving and their mouths were full. When they were done, they said goodbye to the surprisingly nice waitress and walked out the door. Once they were out they looked around. "So..." Samus paused looking at the lack of a vehicle. "We walk?" She looked at him.
He shook his head and pulled out his phone. "Nah, we'll just call a..." He widened his eyes. "A cab..." He hung his head in shame.
Samus tried not to laugh. "Why didn't we do that in the first place?" She asked.
He continued his shameful-head-hanging. He dialed the number and requested one of the yellow checkered moblie's. They stood there for around ten minutes, awaiting their ride home.
The cab pulled up and they climbed in. They rode in silence still, Ike still hanging his head.
The ride was quick, they payed the driver and Ike walked her up to her house.
"Well." She sighed. "That was... interesting."
He was still hanging his head.
She sighed and tilted his chin up to face her. She gently kissed his cheek, then his nose, leaving his entire face a satisfying beet-red. He started grinning like an idiot and rubbing the back of his neck. "I take it was a good interesting?" He asked.
She grinned and opened the door. "Bye, Ike." She kept an evil look on her face.
He held out his hand in protest. "But-"
Now she held up her hand. "I had fun, Ike... Thanks..." She shut the door and leaned up against it. She let out a sigh and sank down on the floor.
He stood there, a little shocked. He rubbed where she had kissed him and smiled.
A very nice first date indeed.
This... wasn't my best... *Looks over everything and grimaces* I'm... Sorry... I haven't the slightest clue of how to write romance, I'm to young! So if it was rushed, stupid or just plain horrid. I'm VERY sorry! Anyway, I'll write the sleep over from hell soon. And if you want, you can ask for something to happen there (Nothing nasty, please. No lemon, lime or yuri of any sort)... But I may or may not use what you ask for...
