Chapter 10: Starting Off With Mr. Sleaze…

10:26 A.M. – Outside Undercover In Front of the Brock's Building

"Misty! You look really different without your glasses and pigtails. This is the first time you have your hair down, well it's in a half tied ponytail but it's still a different look. Don't get me wrong now, your usual look is cute and all. But damn, you're freaking hot right now. You know, I better smother you with my body before you burst in flames." Gary stretched out his arm and was about to give Misty a hug when Misty she stood up from the bench. But before Gary could embrace Misty, Misty stepped off to the side causing Gary to lose his balance and end up wrapping his arms around himself.

"Not a fat chance. I rather burst into flames then being smothered by you." Misty said to Gary as she walked over to Daisy, to stand next to her.

"You two know each other?" Daisy asked Gary and Misty, looking back and forth at both of them.

"Yeah were classmates and we've been friends since she moved here, Sis."

"So wait a minute, Gary I thought you said your sister's name is May." Misty asked Gary.

"It is. Why you ask?"

Misty ignored Gary for a second and then looked over at May with a confused look. "…So are you May or Daisy?"

"Well, I'm…" May then got interrupted by Gary.

"Sis, why did you give out Misty your middle name?"

"I didn't give it to her. I gave it to the loser that I told you about yesterday that tried to pick up on me. Misty was near by when she heard everything and before Misty took off after we were done talking she just addressed me as 'Daisy' and I just left it like that. It's still my name anyways but I am sorry if I mislead you to anything Misty."

"Uh…No…It's ok…" Misty replied back. '…But I would have known that Gary was the brother you were talking about for this 'blind fate'… I would have rather work my butt off to pay off the dress myself…'

May look at her watch 10:33, it read. "I better head in soon and get ready for work. Oh Gary, can you pick up my necklace at Neko's Jewelers? Since you're going to be out and about…" May pulled out a piece of paper out of her purse and handed over to Gary to grab. "…You'll need to give them this to pick it up, thanks little Bro."

"Yeah, no problem Sis." Gary stuffed the piece of paper into his pocket.

"Hey, before I head in, I want a little chit chat with you Misty…" May pulled Misty off to the side far away from Gary. "…Well since you all ready know my brother, this isn't really much of a blind date. You know, I didn't put two and two together but you're the same Misty that Gary and Ash mention time to time whenever I'm at home. So one quick question, have you guys done it?" May asked Misty quietly.

"What? Why are you asking me that?" Misty gave May a questioning look. "And no we haven't. I barely even let him touch or hug me."

"Oh thank goodness. There still hope!"

"Hope for what?"

"Hope for you guy. Because I have this feeling about Gary, that he might have a thing for you. And remember I did say that you're the type of girl that would be perfect for him." May nudges Misty's arm.

"Please girl, you as his sister and the fact that you live with him, we both know very well what he's after for and what he has a 'thing' for…scratch that, a few things that he's after. Come on its Gary we're talking about, I may only know him about a month or so but I can tell what kind of guy he is."

"Heh, you're a sharp one…'you remind me of someone, I know very well and love.'…Well sometimes he's isn't that bad…" May paused as she let out a small giggle. "…I just have a feeling that sooner or later you'll have him wrapped around your fingers." May turned her head to look over at Gary.

Misty also turned her head to look over at Gary. "Yeah I guess. He does have his moments, but he thinks he's God's gift to earth because of his good looks and those pick up lines that all those other girls fall for. Look at him over there, fixing himself up…" Misty and May still looking over at Gary from a far to see Gary standing by the bench by himself popping his thin black jacket collar and straighten out his white t-shirt with a black stripe across the chest, over a pair of black cargos. "…And he's so predictable too. Watch, when he looks over, he's going to run his hand through his hair and smile that stupid cocky smile he does all the time." Misty and May waited for a minute, before Gary finally looking over to see Misty and May smiling at him. Gary then ran his right hand through his brown spiky hair and flashed his cocky smile. Misty and May couldn't help but to laugh at Gary's actions and caught the confused looked on his face.

"Oh my, the look on his face was priceless. You're good and I like you already. I hope to see you around more often. Now you get going and show Gary who runs the show…" May winked at Misty with a big smile. "…Bye Misty. Little Bro. Have fun on your date!" May waive 'bye' to Gary and then to Misty before taking off into the building.

"Bye, May…" Misty waived back to May and then turned around heading back to where Gary's standing. Misty stood in front of Gary in a white half crop short sleeve collar jean jacket over a lavender knee lengthen dress that hugged Misty's figure. Hugged tight at the top but flow at the bottom with a thick lengthen of white lace at the bottom of her dress, as the top had a thin trim of white lace that went across and above Misty's chest exposing little more skin then just her neck and collarbones. "…So are you ready? Let's get this date over with."

"Yeah, almost…" Gary looked up and down at Misty's figure as she had both of her hands behind her back holding on to her purse, standing straight up. "…So why did you and May started laughing about when I looked over?"

"Heehee, nooothing…Anyways…" Misty paused as she noticed Gary slowly started walking around her in a circle, checking her out and then stopped in front of her with a smile.

"Nice purse you have with you." Gary tried to point at Misty's purse that was still behind her back.

"Thanks." Misty said as she pulled the white purse with a rhinestone outline of a Staryu in front of her to look at it.

"Nice flip flops you have on." Gary pointed down at Misty's flip flops that had rhinestones on it.

"Err…Thanks." Misty looked down at her flip flops and then looked back at Gary with one raised eyebrow.

"Nice little jacket you're wearing." Gary fixed Misty's jean jacket collar.

"Thanks again...Gary is there a point to this?" Misty backed up a little bit, hands on both side of her hips and gave Gary a questioning look.

"Nice dress you have on…" Gary smiled as he heard Misty let out a sigh before thanking him again for the compliment. "…Ah hell, everything on you is nice…" Gary stepped forward a bit, with his face and Misty's face were only inches away from each other as Gary smiled and grabbed Misty's chin, tilting her head up to meet up with his eyes. "…So how about making me looking nice?"

Misty gave Gary an 'I can't believe you' glare, and then rose and placed her whole right hand on Gary's face pushing him away. "Not in this life time. You're too much of a lost cause…" Misty shaking her head at Gary's last comment and took a few steps away from Gary and looked around the parking lot. "…Where's your car Gary? I'm ready to go if you don't mind."

"Ha-ha ok, it's straight ahead." Gary pointed straight ahead and started walking in that direction towards his car. Misty followed right behind Gary in silence, both Gary and Misty finally made it and stopped at the passenger side door. Both Gary and Misty stood at their spots for a few seconds, Misty thinking Gary was going to open the door for her but Gary just walked around his car to the driver side. Gary just jumped into his seat without even bothering opening the door and looked over at Misty. "Are you getting in or what?"

Misty had an annoyed look on her face. "You know you could at least be a gentleman and open the door…" Misty stepped into the convertible after opening the door herself. "…You should at least take lessons from Ash or something. He opens the door for me all the time, escorts me out and hell we're not even dating and he does all that sweet stuff." Misty said in an annoyed tone and looked over at Gary.

"Well that's Ash and I'm Gary. Beside, most girls I've been with don't care for all that chivalry stuff. They're happy enough to be around me." Gary smiled as he turned his upper body leaning his right forearm on Misty's head rest.

"News flash, as If you haven't notice, I'm not like most girls you've been hitting on." Misty jabbed her index finger at Gary's chest. As Gary then wrapped his left hand around Misty's hand covering her whole hand but left her index finger poking out in between his fingers.

"You may not be like most of the girls that I've been with but you're still a girl that can fall for this face." Gary smiled and slowly brought up Misty's index finger that was still poking out to his mouth and licked and sucked the tip of her index finger. Misty yanked her hand out of Gary's hand and gave him a stern look.

"Gary! Why the hell did you had to lick my finger!" Misty yelled out.

"Ha-ha so I can see that cute little mad face you make…" Misty still had her mad expression towards Gary as he couldn't help to let out a chuckle. "…Anyways before I start the car, what do you want to do first?"

"Well I'm kind of hungry, I ate like around 7ish so how about we do a light lunch? And remember we still have to pick up your sister's necklace."

"Yeah I remember. We'll pick it up after lunch or something. Let's do pizza."

"What? Come on, we do pizza all the time after school. Can you be a little more thoughtful or something a little more romantic? We are on a date here…" Misty then looked the opposite direction of Gary '…What was I expecting? I shouldn't have expected him to be thoughtful as Ash or as Rudy…' Misty then looked back at Gary when he asked her a question.

"Well how about working with me here? What other type of food do you like? Asian? Italian? French? Seafood?" Gary asked Misty trying to get out of her what she wants to eat.

"Uh…I like all of those but seafood does sound really good right now."

"Seafood it is." After being all buckled up Gary started the car and went out the nearest exit.

Gary drove to Skippers Seafood Restaurant, forgetting that the family own seafood restaurant doesn't open till 12 o' clock. Gary and Misty walked up to the door to see the 'Closed' sign. "Crap I forgot that they don't open until 12 noon." Gary said to Misty but still looked at the 'Business Open/Close Hours' sign.

"Well Gary do you have the time?" Misty asked Gary as she touched Gary's right arm.

Gary turned around to look down at Misty with a grin. "Yeah, of course! But do you have the energy?" It only took Misty a few second to realize the perverted joke but before Misty could hit or glare at Gary, Gary took off running back to his car laughing. "Come on Misty! It's just 10:56, let's catch a movie. There's a small movie theater about at least 5-10 minutes away from here!" Gary yelled from the car.

"Fine…" Misty slowly walking towards the car.

11:02 A.M. - In Front of the Ticket Booth at Movieland

"So what movie do you want to see? Gary asked Misty as both of them looking at the list of choices.

"How about…Final Fantasy VII Advent Children?" Misty replied back.

"Really? I would have thought you would have picked one of the chick flicks. Cool, I heard it's a good movie and a big hit when it came out in the beginning in the theater. It's been in the theater for quite sometime now but I just haven't gotten around going see it because of you know, doing all my homework assignments and all. Heh, but how I got a chance to watch the movie." Gary said excitedly.

'Good, that's what I was hoping for. Now I don't have to worry about you making the moves on me during the movie…' Misty thought to herself as she watched Gary purchased two tickets for the 11:30 A.M. admission. Gary then grabbed the tickets and turned around to motion Misty to the front doors. Misty followed Gary but didn't bother to hold the door open for her as she opened the door for herself and walked up to where Gary is now at the food concession stand.

"Get some stuff so you can snack on for the time being until we hit Skippers again. So what do you want?" Gary asked.

"Geez thanks for thinking about me…" Misty said quietly before asking Gary to order. "…Can you get me a medium Strawberry Tropicana, a bag of skittles, and small popcorn?"

"You know you can order for yourself." Gary looked at Misty and gestured her towards the counter.

"Fine." Misty stepped up to the counter. "Can I get a medium Strawberry Tropicana, a bag of skittles, and small popcorn please?"

"Sure thing Miss and that will be a total of 5 dollar." The clerk said to Misty as Misty pulled out her money out of her purse.

"Hey what are you doing?" Gary asked as he placed his hand over Misty's hand that had the money.

"What does it look like? I'm paying for my order that you couldn't do." Misty said in an annoyed tone.

"I said you order your stuff but I didn't say you had to pay for it, I got it covered."

"Well if you asked a girl what she wants and she tells you what to order for her but then you tell her to order it herself, kind of indicates that she has to pay for her own order."

"Just grab your stuff and I'll pay for it alright?" Gary said to Misty as he ordered his food after Misty grabbed all of her snacks and Gary paid for the whole thing. After all the commotion over the 'snack issue' Gary and Misty finally made it to their theater room. "Not like it would matter but I like to sit in the last row but where do you want to sit?" Gary asked Misty and for the first time on the date Gary opened the door and held it open for Misty since he had a free hand.

"Thanks and I like to sit in the last row too." Misty walked ahead of Gary and looked down at the last row to see no one in the last row.

"Sweet and it's free." Gary said behind Misty and motions her to go in first to pick the seats. Misty picked the two seats that are smacked down the middle when you look at the screen. After Gary and Misty made themselves comfortable, Gary realized that they still had about 15 minutes plus however long the 'previews' were. "You know what I notice? We're the only one here…" Gary whispered into Misty's ear. Misty got the shivers down her spine after Gary whispered in her ear and when she looked around to see Gary was right that were the only ones in the theater. "…Do you want to know what I do, to kill time when there's no one around in the movie theater?" Gary asked in a low husky tone causing Misty to become a little uncomfortable.

"Gary Oak, you better not do anything funny because I will walk out on you."

"Relax, it isn't anything funny but it is fun." Gary said calmly as he ran two of his fingers from the tip of Misty's nose down to her lips and then blew a kiss at Misty.

Misty hit Gary's fingers away from her face as she moved as far as she could in her seat towards her left. "Gary, I am not going to make out with you like most of those other girls you been with." Misty said out loud as she heard Gary busted out laughing, leaving Misty a little confused.

"Hahaha, oh my. True that, the fact that I do sometime make out with those other girls but that's not what I had in mind…Unless that's what you really want to do since you oh so protested and that was on your mind." Gary couldn't help but to let out a cocky smile.

"Whatever Gary. With us being the only ones here, you speaking in a low tone and touching my lips and all. Only leaves me to think that's what you wanted to do." Misty said as she looked away from Gary, crossing her arms.

"Ok, ok, sorry to assume that you wanted to make out with me. But do you want to kill time or what?"

"Fine, what do you have in mind?" Misty faced Gary when she asked him.

"Have you played 'Spank the Brunette?'" Gary asked all smooth with a smile as he caught the glares coming from Misty's eyes.

"No, but I have played 'Slap the Brunette' I wouldn't mind playing that right about now."

Before Misty could say or do anything else, Gary got up from his seat and pulled Misty up from her seat. "Ha-ha, anyways we're going to play the 1 Minute Hide and Seek."

"1 Minute Hide and Seek? Are you serious?"

"Yeah, come on it may sound silly but its fun. May came up with this game for me and Ash to try to kill time and keep ourselves entertained. So we usually played it in the movie theater since we were usually early to our shows. Anyways here's the down low. The Hider gets 20 second to hide and the Seeker gets 40 seconds to find/catch the Hider but at the same time the Hider is trying to escape from the Seeker and tries to make it to the 'Base' before getting caught. It's also a point game, if the Seeker catches/tags the Hider first before the 40 second or get to the 'Base' first. And if the Hider reached the 'Base' first before being caught the Hider gets the point. It's just like hide and seek, but it's all has to be within a minute in a dark place. So do you want to be the Seeker or the Hider first?" Gary asked Misty as he pulled her out to the aisle.

"I guess I'll start off as the Seeker."

"Ok and the 'Base' is the entrance/exit doors, either side will work."

"Ok."

15 minute has passed as Gary and Misty only got a total of 10 games between each other, working on their 11th round to break the tied score of 5 to 5. As Gary the Seeker and Misty the Hider. Gary yelled out '20' when he opened the left side door from the outside and speed walked down the aisle looking down each row to see if Misty was hiding in any of the rows. Gary reached to the front near the big screen checking the area and still no sign of Misty, Gary then checked behind the left side curtains and still no luck. Right when Gary turned around after checking the curtains, Misty popped out from behind the curtains on the opposite of Gary. Misty took off running up the right side aisle after she noticed Gary has spotted her. Gary smile and ran straight head then taking a sharp right turn up the aisle that Misty run up on. Gary ran like there was no tomorrow trying to tag/catch Misty for the point, only about 5 feet away from Misty, but Gary was still a little too short behind. As for Misty was about 25-30 feet away from the right side 'Base' and knew that she was going to get the point to win the game. Misty decided to taunt Gary by turning around and playfully sticking out her tongue running up the aisle backwards. But after a few feet of running backwards one of Misty's flip flop slipped off throwing Misty off guard and balance causing her to fall backwards. Gary noticing the situation, launched toward Misty as fast as he could reaching out towards her but also ended up losing his balance when he tripped over the one flip flop. But Gary was able to grab a hold of Misty's right arm pulling her towards him with his left hand and wrapped his right hand around Misty's head as Gary and Misty both hit the carpet floor. Misty laying flat on her back but with Gary's hand cushion the back of her head as Gary is on all fours above Misty with his other hand pinning down Misty's right arm.

"Are you ok Misty?" Gary asked with a worry expression.

"Uh…Yeah, I'm ok. Thanks for catching me and preventing a head collision..." Misty thanked Gary as she saw his worried expression which she thought it was somewhat cute.

"No problem, as long as you're not hurt…" Gary's worried expression was gone within 5 seconds when he started to grinned when he asked Misty a question. "…You know what?

"Err…What?" Misty replied back wondering why Gary is grinning all of a sudden.

"I caught you, so I won…Now how about I get a prize or an award for winning and saving you from head damage?" Gary still on top of Misty, looking down, replied in a low husky tone. "Hmmm, I like our current position...Lets see, a kiss sounds reasonable…"

"Gary, how about not. So please get off on top of me or else." Misty swarmed a bit underneath.

"Or else…What?" Gary asked as he smirked and started to lean down in towards Misty trying to get a kiss but Gary stopped to look up when he heard a couple of people coming from the left side door talking. Misty took the opportunity to pushed Gary off of her with her free hand when the door shut after the couples walked through the doors. Gary and Misty were on their feet when the couples looked over to see if anyone else was in the theater with them. Gary and Misty went back to their seats after they retrieved Misty's flip flop as they over heard the couples saying something about 'them not being the only ones here'. Misty then hit Gary's left arm right when they sat down in their seats and raised her voice up enough just so Gary could hear and not the other couples ear range.

"You sleaze! Next time when I say get off, you get off!"

"Ow…You didn't have to hit me."

"I did say or else and now just watch the previews and don't talk to me." Misty said in an upset tone as she looked the opposite direction away from Gary and leaned on her left arm rest trying not to get close to Gary.

"Sorry, k? I'll behave. So don't be upset." Gary pleads.

"Uh huh, sure whatever." Misty still had her face facing away from Gary.

"Hey, really now, don't be upset. I'll let you slap me on the cheek if that makes you feel better…" Gary pointed at his face as Misty turn her head back to look back at Gary. "…Ok, Me think I'm ready…" Gary shut his eyes waiting for a slap on the cheek but ended up getting a flick on his nose.

"I don't know why but I'll let you sly with a flick on the nose. I'll feel a little bit better if we just start watching the remaining previews and I think our movie is going to start soon." Misty said to Gary before facing the screen.

"Ok." Gary said as he leaned his right arm behind the back of the chair on his right looking over at Misty and then straight at the screen ahead of him.

1:45 P.M. – End of the Movie

Gary and Misty walked out of the theater room into the hallway lobby. "Final Fantasy VII Advent Children was pretty good, wouldn't you say Gary?"

"Definitely, it was worth the price I paid. There were quite a few hot chicks in there; expressively the chick in the end, Aeris was really hot…" Gary said out loud as he caught Misty rolling her eyes. "…But not as hot compared to you that is." Gary grinned and touched Misty's cheek by using his just index finger making a 'tisst' sound.

"Please, give it a rest…" Misty walked ahead of Gary but then Gary caught up next to her. Misty then looked over at Gary. "…Anyways what time is it?"

Gary couldn't help to smile at Misty of her choice of words to ask the time. "It's about 1:45ish, so let's head back to Skippers."

"Sounds good to me, I'm starving…"

"Ha-ha, watch out, you don't want to sound like Ash now." Gary said laughing as Misty let out a giggle.

2:08 P.M. – Inside of Skippers Seafood Restaurant

Gary and Misty sat in a booth in the corner of the restaurant were it wasn't as crowd as up in the front. As the Waiter stood next to their booth with a note pad and pen ready in hand for the orders. Gary resting his chin on his left hand palm as he tapped the table with his right hand fingers looking at the back of the menu that covered Misty's face. As Gary and the Waiter waited on Misty who was still trying to decided which dish to order.

"Let's see, the Lobster Alfredo or Creamy Pasta with Shrimp…Hmmm, they both sound good."

"You've been going over those two choices for about 5 minutes now…" Gary said in annoyed tone as he looked over at the Waiter. "…You know what? She'll have the Lobster Alfredo."

Misty closed her menu to look at Gary. "What? Why did you order that for me? You know I can order for myself. What if I wanted the Creamy Pasta with Shrimp?"

"Well order that then!" Gary raised his voice at Misty.

"No it's alright; I'll just go with the Lobster Alfredo since you decided to order that for me." Misty said in an upset tone.

"Are you seriously upset at the fact that I ordered for you? Man, I just can't win can I? First you get upset at me for not ordering for you at the movie theater and when I do order for you, you still end up getting upset. What gives? "Gary asked out loud.

"There's a differences, at the movie theater I knew what I wanted since you asked me what I wanted to order. But right now, I was still deciding which dish that I wanted to order and I didn't asked you to order it either but you decided to ordered something that I wasn't sure what I wanted." Misty replied back loudly.

"So…Um…What will your guy's orders will be?" The Waiter asked as he looked around to notice a few heads has turned in their direction from the loud commotion between Gary and Misty.

"Geez, so complicated. I guess she'll have the…" Gary looked at Misty so she can tell the Waiter what she wanted.

Misty answered stubbornly and handed her menu to the Waiter. "I'll have the Lobster Alfredo."

'My gawd she is so stubborn!' Gary trying calmly thought to himself.

The Waiter took the menu from Misty and then looked over at Gary. "And you Sir? You'll still have the same dish you ordered?"

"No, change my dish to the Creamy Pasta with Shrimp and could you also bring out an extra plate when you bring out the food? Thanks."

"Alright, I'll give this order to our Chef and hope to bring it out to you as soon as possible."

"Gary, why did you change your dish?" Misty asked when she looked over at Gary when the Waiter left their side.

"Well it's obvious that you wanted the Creamy Pasta with Shrimp after I order the other one for you but you didn't want to change it so I just changed mine to the Creamy Pasta with Shrimp that way you can at least have the two dish you couldn't chose between…" Gary looked away still a bit annoyed."…I'll just take whatever portion is left, k?" Gary then took a drink from his glass of water after he got done talking still looking away.

'Geez, he's sure hell can be stubborn...But then again…' "…You didn't have to change your order for me but thank you though."

Gary turn to look over at Misty "It's no problem, I've eaten here a tons of time. All of the dishes here is really good. You won't be disappointed…" Gary then rested his left elbow on the table so Gary can rest his chin in his palm and looked straight at Misty who was looking around the restaurant that had the inside design of a fishermen's ship. "…Hey Misty."

Misty turned back to look at Gary. "Hmmm?"

"A few quick questions I want to know. Didn't you say that you didn't want to date? So why you all are dressed up for a stranger for this 'blind date' that my Sis set up? Am I that bad to the point you would rather go on a blind date then with me when I asked you?"

"Err…Well…Didn't May tell you how and why I even agreed to the 'blind date?' She did mention about that Derek guy right?"

"Yeah, beside the whole story with that Derek guy who was trying to pick up on her, all my Sis said to me that did relate to the 'blind date' was 'I found the prefect girl for you' and told me to be ready to leave and meet up with you at 10 A.M. That's about it."

"Oh, hmmm…Where to start…I guess after how I dealt with Derek before he took off running, May never mention your name but said to me that I should go out with her brother because I was perfect for you. I refused but then I accidentally knocked the cup of juice she had in her hand and spilt all over one of Brock's new white gown designs she had on. Of course I was freaking out because I didn't have the money to pay for the damage. So May offered to pay for the damage as long as I went on one date with you just to out some sense in your head. For the dress up part, well I am on a date so why not dress up and look nice?"

"But for a stranger? Ash and I haven't seen you with your hair down or you without your glasses. Well maybe without your glasses once in awhile when you take it off for a few seconds and all. But still…"

"Well I forgot to pick up my glasses off the ground yesterday but May picked it up for me and she still has it. And I just decided to put my hair in a half ponytail style. Can we just drop the whole 'blind date' issue?"

"Not after you answered the last question about going on the 'blind date' then being on a date with me when I asked you." Gary said as he lean a little forward towards Misty placing both of his forearms on the table.

Misty leaned a little forward meeting Gary half way also placing her forearms on the table "Come on do you really need to ask? First off, you've been cracking those stupid perverted pick up lines since day 1 of our encounter. You're such a sleaze expressively when you are trying to make the moves on me when you know that I don't like it. I just don't know why and how I can deal with it and apparently thoughtfulness and chivalry isn't in your vocab. system. I can go on if you want to?" Misty smiled at Gary as she leaned back in the booth to rest on her back.

'Damn this is going to be a lot harder than I though…Geez I never had to work so hard to get some action from a chick. Never alone a kiss, it's just a freaking kiss!' "No, you don't need to. But remember you are on a date with The Great Gary Oak, you will have a good time one way or another." Gary smirked as he placed his thumb and index finger on his chin. As the Waiter came by placing down the pasta dishes they had order for lunch, along with an extra plate.

"Well, oh so Great Gary Oak, please do us a favor and restrain your ego from growing because it's going to take over our table booth to the point where we won't have room to place our food on."

Gary smiled and started to laugh. "Ha ha ha, ok I'll try. Now let's eat." 'Gotta change my tactics to make her fall for me…'

3:14 P.M. - In Gary's Convertible Driving Down on 'Poke Road'

"So where are going now Gary?" Misty asked pushing her hair out of her face that was blowing in wind when Gary did a quick glace over at Misty.

"Do you want me to put the top over us?" Gary asked Misty but she shook her had 'no' as Gary then continued to talk. "Well, this road will take us to the mall and the Neko's Jewelers is after the mall. So we'll hit Neko's Jewelers first and then after that if you want we can hit the mall ok?"

"Yeah, sure and thanks for lunch Gary."

"No problem."

Gary drove passed by the mall and heading towards Neko's Jewelers still about a few miles away Gary saw a big sign on the side of the road with the words of 'Grand Opening for the Arcade Fun Center' with a small print of 'Today only 3pm-6pm free play, excluding crane/ticket machine. Take a right on Dex Rd.' Gary saw Dex Rd. and took a right turn down and headed straight ahead where Gary saw the 'Arcade Fun Center' sign from afar.

"Uh Gary, I know that I'm pointing out the obvious but that place says 'Arcade Fun Center' not 'Neko's Jewelers'. I thought we're going to the Neko's first?"

"Sorry, had to do a little detour. I saw their sign while driving, from 3pm to 6pm it's all free play for the arcade machine and it's only for today. Come on it'll be fun, they might have a game you'll like or so. Also just leave your purse in the car, less stuff to worry about accidentally leaving lying around when we play some games." Gary then parked his car in a spot near the entrance of the Arcade Fun Center, to see there was quite a crowd going on. Gary and Misty got out of the car and walked to the front entrance where they had crane machine lined up against the wall on both side of the doors. Before Gary and Misty walked through the doors, there was crane machine that caught his eyes.

"Wow this place is pretty big." Misty said as she looked around the arcade.

"Yeah is it…Well should we get started?" Gary asked Misty as she slowly nodded her head 'yes' before following Gary to whatever game they are going to play.

Gary and Misty ended up hogging a racing game, 'Initial D Arcade Stage'. Racing each other, race after race just to see who could win the most races as a crowd was formed around them. Some where there to cheer on Gary or for Misty and some where waiting a chance to play but those who wanted to play did not dare to ask Gary or Misty to get off since there was so much tension and bickering between them to the point of no return. Gary was ahead of Misty by 1 race until Misty tied up with him by winning the last race they just did. Misty got out of her seat as Gary yelled out to her.

"Hey, we gotta do another race because we can't leave this as a tied game Misty!"

"Gary, I'm not going race with you anymore! We've been on that game like about half an hour straight and we both agreed that was our last game, tied or not we aren't going to do another race. There are other people are waiting to play that game, now come on let's go find another game or so." This time Misty took the lead on trying to find a certain game. "Don't tell me, as big as this place is, they don't have my game?"

"What game are you looking for?" Gary asked trying to get an answer from Misty but she was busy looking around left to right.

"Ah' ha, I found it! It's this way Gary…" Misty pointed at the left side corner of the arcade and headed towards that direction as Gary followed. "…Do you like to dance Gary?"

"Yeah, I go clubbing time to time. Why do you ask?" Gary asked with an eyebrow raised, still following Misty.

"Because we're going to play Dance Dance Revolution Extreme!" Misty yelled out excitedly and pulled Gary on the vacant dance pad when they made it to the DDR machine.

"You're not serious are you? I can do dancing in the clubs but I don't do the DDR machine. Sorry Misty but I'm going to have to pass."

"Fine, I really don't want to waste my time bickering with you when I can be dancing so can you hold my jacket?" Misty took off her white half crop jean jacket to revealed Misty's straps where thin white laces and handed the little jacket to Gary when he stepped off of the dance pad. Misty started off with 'BUTTERFLY' on singles as her warm up on heavy mode (5steps). As Misty was dancing on heavy mode, Gary noticed that Misty drew in a crowd around the DDR machine when the area itself was just vacant about 20 seconds ago. Gary watched Misty danced away on the dance pad as he over heard some kids and adults saying something like 'That girls pretty good, Wow, Cool, etc.' Gary noticed that Misty's knee length dress kept on flying up showing off her legs and thighs, every time she did a little jump. Gary wasn't going to compliant nor do anything about it until he heard a few guys saying something like 'Check out the legs on that chick. Hope we get more then only her leg shots.' After hearing that from the guys, Gary took off his thin black jacket and stepped on the dance pad when Misty got done with her second song 'HYSTERIA' heavy mode (8steps) and tying his jacket around her waist.

"Gary, why are you tying your jacket around my waist?"

"Because those guys over there are hoping for you to show off more then just your legs since you're jumping around in your short dress and all. Now you can continue dancing without worrying your dress flipping. And you're doing great." Gary whispered in Misty's ears as Misty shook her head and let out a small laugh at Gary on how he's all trying to be cautious when he's just like those guys that he mention. Gary turned around to look over in the directions of the few guys as Gary smirked and shook his head and then cracked his knuckles. As the three guys realize the 'current status' of the Misty when they saw Gary's action. About 5 more songs were played/danced by Misty and Gary not sure when Misty was going to be done. Gary decided to take the opportunity to take off.

"Hey Misty, I'm going to go to the bathroom. I won't be long, so stay here and play as long as you want. Just don't leave this area to go around looking for me." Gary took off through the crowd before letting Misty to even reply back.

About 20 minutes has passed as Misty and a few other people were taking turns to play DDR or Misty teaching the little ones how to play. It wasn't as crowd as before when Misty started but quite a lot of people that was still around told her that she was pretty awesome on the DDR machine. Misty before taking a seat on a near by bench Misty thanked the people who complimented her. After taking a seat, Misty looked down at Gary's jacket that's still wrapped around her waist and started to wonder what's taking him so long to return.

'Where in the hell is he? He said that he had to go the bathroom, but that was like what? 20 minutes ago?' Misty train of thoughts was interrupted by a rude comment in a male's voice.

"Fancy meeting you here, Rabid Bitch."

Misty looked up to see the one person she didn't expect to run into again. '…Great…Derek…'
