My niece and I wrote this together. I took her to see the The Darkest Minds movie and she suggested both the power and writing a story together. She wrote most of it, but I'm posting it on my account because she doesn't have one.

"Today is the day. It's either make or break a new relationship," Erin thought to herself aloud. She was more nervous than she'd ever been before.
"You've got this!" Flora said enthusiastically.
"But this could ruin our relationship!" Erin responded.
"You'll never have a relationship at all if you don't go on this date," Fauna pointed out.
"Gah, you're right!" Erin realized.
"Erin!" Adrian called. "Are you ready?"
She took a deep breath and walked down the stairs.
Flora and Fauna had indeed prepared a candlelit dinner for them. Everything was in place on the dining room table. Everyone else had already eaten.
Erin smiled when she saw Adrian. He smiled back.
"Good evening, my love." He winked. He pulled out her chair for her, which was a little funny. Erin burst out laughing and sat down.
"Good evening to you too, love," Erin replied, and it was Adrian's turn to laugh. "What made you come back?" Erin asked, wanting to start a conversation.
"Well, this might sound cheesy, but I sensed that you were in danger! And I still had feelings for you. I missed you," he answered.
"I never got over you," Erin confessed. "I'm so glad that you came back."
They talked until the last candle went out.
"I guess we should go to bed now," Erin said disappointedly.
"I suppose," Adrian agreed, also disappointed. They rose from the table and headed upstairs.
Adrian kissed Erin outside of the door to the room that the girls shared. "Good night," he said, smiling.
"Good night," Erin replied, smiling back. She went in the door.
Flora and Fauna were anxiously waiting on the other side. "So, how'd it go?" Flora asked, grinning.
"It was wonderful!" Erin sighed.
"So did it make or break the relationship?" Fauna asked.
"Well obviously it made the relationship!" Flora remarked. "Look at her grin!"
Erin laughed at her friends' antics. She put on her pajamas and lied down in her bed. "Night girls," she said.
"Nighty night," the two sisters replied. They turned off the lights and Erin was left to enjoy her memories of the evening until she fell asleep.
