"So date night tonight babe?" Callie asked as she headed out of class hand in hand with Arizona.
"Yep, what time?" Arizona asked as she look up and towards Callie.
"I'll pick you up around six, is that ok?" Callie replied as they stood at the point where they would both have to go their separate ways.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"So are you ready to go?" Callie asked as Arizona picked up her bag which was hanging from the rack near her door.
"Yep," Arizona replied as she turned to face Callie, her bag hanging over her shoulder, hands hanging by her side and ready to head out, "So are you going to tell me where we are going yet?"
"Nope, not even a clue, but I know you are going to like it, it screams Arizona Robbins," Callie replied, her patent cheeky smile adorning her face.
"Ok, I'm going to hold you to that Calliope Torres, this better be fricken good cause you know how much I hate surprises," Arizona said, giggly a little from excitement as she grabbed Callie's hand and led her out of her room and toward the stairs.
"Ok babe," Callie said as she opened the door to the stairs for Arizona, ever the gentlewoman.
"So really, no hints?" Arizona asked squinching her a face together.
"Nope babe, no hints, sorry," Callie finalised taking Arizona's hand in her own and leading her down to her car which was parked on the curb out the front of college that Arizona lived in.
"My lady," Callie said as she opened the passenger side door for Arizona to enter the car, her courtesy extending much further than most people her age.
The car ride was filled with an anxious Arizona tapping her fingers, jumping her leg or muttering silly things under her breath about how she hates surprises and should never have agreed to date night in the first place, to which Callie responded with a soft chuckled as she manoeuvred the car through the streets and toward their secret destination.
"Ok babe, I am going to ask you to do something but you don't have to if you are not comfortable doing it, ok," Callie said as she turned the car down a small side street.
"Um, ok," Arizona replied nervously.
"Could you cover your eyes?" Callie asked as she squeezed Arizona's hand to reassure her that she could indeed back out.
"Close my eyes?" Arizona asked as she mulled over the idea.
"Yeah, if you don't mind," Callie answered, still grasping Arizona's hand.
"Um ok, I can do that," Arizona agreed, closing them as Callie continued toward their destination.
"Alright it is only a minute or so," Callie explained as she turned the corner and entered the parking lot, driving toward the bright neon lights of the entrance. She picked a car space in the centre of the lot facing the neon lights so that Arizona could see where they were immediately.
"Ok, you can open your eyes babe," Callie said after she had killed the ignition and turned slightly in her seat to face Arizona.
"Ok," Arizona replied as she opened them slowly, "Ohmygod," she released in one breath, "The fair!"
"Yeah the fair," Callie confirmed in a small voice as Arizona jumped up and down in her seat at the sight before her.
"Come on Callie, let's get in there, like now," Arizona said as she jumped from the car and ran toward the entrance of the fair, leaving her door hanging open as she let her excitement show.
"I'm coming babe, just hold your horses," Callie said as she jogged around the car, closed the passenger side door and then caught up to Arizona.
After Callie paid for the pair for unlimited rides and access to all the areas Arizona burst through the gates, her blue wristband tied securely around her left hand as she spun in circles to take in the sight as if she had never been to the fair before.
"So, you are in charge, where to first amor?" Callie asked.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Callie had been dragged through the fair by Arizona for at least an hour and a half, from one ride to the next, each being claimed by Arizona to be the best ride at the fair. It was a side to Arizona that Callie had not expected, under the facade of an innocent blonde lay a thrill seeking girl who loved every ride. Callie wish she could say the same for herself, but under her hardcore facade lay a girl who was not such a fan of rides, especially anything that included high speeds combined with high heights, which was pretty much the definition of a fair ride. They had been down the arcade alley where Callie showed off her surprisingly accurate shooting skills, a talent she could not quite place and won a bright orange goldfish toy which she kindly passed on to an overly excited Arizona who, for the daughter of a marine had an awful shot. As they had decided at the beginning of the night, the ferris wheel was the last ride on the cards, a nice way to settle down from the night so they headed over there and waited patiently for their turn. Once they were called to the front of the line they headed to the available chair and took a seat.
As the pair settled into their seat on the Ferris wheel Arizona turned to Callie and instantly Callie noticed the panic set in in Arizona's eyes, as if she had just recalled something that had happened that she should be worried about.
"Um, Arizona, are you ok?" Callie asked cautiously as there carriage begun to move into the air.
"Um, yeah I think so," Arizona replied, clearly unsure of whether her answer was true or not.
"You think you're ok, alright, that's reassuring," Callie said as she turned a little in her seat so she could face Arizona a little better, "What's got you 'thinking' you're ok."
"Well something happened, and I completely forgot about it until now, and I am just not sure if I did the right thing or if I kinda went too far or what," Arizona explained quickly, most of the words joining together in one big ramble of sounds.
"Ok Arizona, I really think you should tell me from the beginning," Callie asked of Arizona, somehow calm in the midst of Arizona's panic.
"Well um yesterday, you remember Lori from the colleges? She lives a few doors down from me?"
"Yep, blonde hair, greeny coloured eyes," Callie explained to which Arizona nodded.
"Well we had a study session the other day, it was the day I was texting you heaps, remember how I got up late and then bought some lunch and was waiting for her while I texted you?" Arizona continued, again needing confirmation that Callie was following the story, which was provided by Callie in the form of a small nod.
"Well she asked me what had me smiling so much and I just kinda smiled and shrugged it off, I mean it's not like I am hiding you, just yeah, and I was in the middle of a text and then my phone kept going off and she asked me who I was texting so much and I just kinda answered without even thinking..." Arizona explained nervously, nothing incriminating yet.
"What did you answer?" Callie asked intrigued and a little certain where this conversation was going but not yet ready to commit to it one hundred percent.
"You can't freak out ok, and I can take it back, tell her I wasn't right, you know, fix this," Arizona replied in another panicked sentence that came out as one linked word.
"Arizona, just take a breath and tell me, it can't be that bad right," Callie replied, nodding her head slowly in a reassuring manner.
"I said my girlfriend," Arizona replied quickly before looking down at her feet like they were incredibly interesting.
"You called me what?" Callie replied, a wide smile spread across her face, her pleasure in being called that highly obvious.
"My girlfriend," Arizona replied quickly again refusing to move her eyes away from her feet as the dangled from the chair meaning she was unable to see Callie's glee at holding such a title.
"Wow," Callie breathed out causing Arizona to snap her head up and stare at Callie, who was now looking out on the park.
"Um, wow... as in your ok with this?" Arizona asked, her panic less though still very evident.
"Um, yeah, Arizona, I mean if that's what you want I would love to be your girlfriend," Callie said, now looking into Arizona's blue eyes, the truth of her words radiating from her own brown orbs.
"You want to be my girlfriend?" Arizona asked, her usual confidence now replaced with sheer adoration and amazement of the girl sitting in front of her.
"I do," Callie replied simply.
"Ok," Arizona replied, her panic now a distant memory of the not so old past, replaced with happiness and her look of concern replaced with a surprise.
"Ok," Callie confirmed, nodding once as if she was getting used to the idea.
"So your my girlfriend?" Arizona asked, as if confirming it would make it feel more real and less like she was living on cloud nine.
"Yeah, I'm your girlfriend, and you're mine?" Callie asked, just as surprised at where this fun afternoon had gone.
"I am," Arizona said as she lifted Callie's arm and snuggled in close to her side, "I so am."

"So you ready for some dinner babe, I mean I think we have seen everything there is to see, what do you say?" Callie asked Arizona as they walked aimlessly through the fair, enjoying its cheerful embrace.
"Yeah, I think it is that time of night, what's on the menu, any plans or are we making them now?" Arizona asked as she leant into Callie as they walked, loving the feel of the warmth her newly crowned girlfriend provided.
"Ha ha. Really Arizona Robbins, you think I am someone that plans a date and doesn't provide food, I think not amor, I am well prepared, come on," Callie teased pulling Arizona toward the exit of the fair and toward her car.
"Oh, we're leaving?" Arizona asked, slight disappointment in her voice causing Callie to stop dead in her tracks.
"Um, yeah, I was going to but we can stay longer if you want, the location for dinner is elsewhere is all," Callie explained facing herself to Arizona and taking Arizona's other hand in hers so she was holding both.
"Oh no, that's fine, I just love the fair is all," Arizona explained, her happy face once again re-emerging as she remembered the night, "So where to for dinner?"
"Ah, Arizona Robbins you will never learn, it's a secret, and you know what the deal is with secrets, if I tell you, I'd have to kill you and I really don't want to have to do that, do you want that Arizona?" Callie asked cheekily as she climbed into the driver's seat and turned the key in the ignition.
"Fine, whatever," Arizona said tyring her hardest to sound grumpy and crossing her arms across her chest but her mouth waivered, a small smile appearing at the edges of her lips to reveal that she was indeed enjoying every second of their date night.
The car ride was short and filled with general conversation, before Callie turned her vintage car into a car spot and turning the ignition off.
"So we're here?" Arizona asked, eager to not be on the outside of the secret anymore but on the inside. You see she was used to planning and helping to surprise someone else, but she had never had someone do the same for her and as much as she loved the anticipation it was frustrating. She simply wanted to know and she wanted to know now.
"Wow, a little impatient aren't we," Callie said as she got out of the car and walked around the Arizona's and helped he exit the car, "We are almost there babe, but not just yet, a little more."
"Um ok," Arizona replied, a little confused at what was going on.
"Alright, come with me," Callie said taking Arizona's hand in her own, an act that was almost habit now, something that Callie would simply do whenever she was in the presence of her blonde haired princess. Callie led Arizona through the parking lot, down a little track that was now only lit by the moon which was luckily full that night, if it were not, neither girls would have been able to see where they were going without the assistance of a torch.
"Callie, where are you taking me?" Arizona asked a little unsure of where they were going.
"It'll be worth it babe," Callie said as she continued to pull Arizona toward their destination, and that's when it happened, the trail opened up to reveal a little gazebo lit up with tiny fairy lights looking out onto the water of the lake.
"Babe, wow..." was all Arizona could manage as she stopped dead in her tracks by the sight thrown in front of her.
"Ok so it's nothing special, I found it a couple of months back, just before we started classes, I am not even sure how, I think I was running one morning. Anyway I thought it would be a nice place to eat," Callie said as she lifted a bag into sight that Arizona didn't even see her bring from the car.
"Calliope, it's amazing," Arizona said as she shot forward toward the gazebo, her eyes wide in surprise, Callie wandering up in the rear.
"So you like it?" Callie asked as she placed the bag on the table and sat behind Arizona, who was straddling the bench seat and looking over the water, and wrapped her arms around her.
"I love it sweetie, it's just... it's amazing. No one has ever taken the effort with me that you have to put tonight together, you just... I just... Wow" Arizona tried as she leant back into Callie, this night perhaps being the best she had ever experienced, in the least challenging whatever was currently taking the top rank.
"So for dinner I thought I would keep it with the fair and carnival theme and I went for some hamburgers, fries and a little ice cream for dessert. The ice cream should still be frozen cause I had it in the fridge in the back and the burgers and stuff is probably cold but I bought it all when you were on the merry-go-round for the fifteenth time so they should still be pretty fresh," Callie explained as she unpacked the bag, placing a burger in front of Arizona and then herself and doing the same with the fries and placing the tub of ice-cream in between them to share.
"Callie, this is amazing," Arizona said as she fully turned to face her girlfriend, her eyes sparkling with pure happiness.

"Ah, Ms. Torres, I have a note for you," the doorman said as Callie and Arizona entered the lobby of her apartment building hand in hand.
"Frank, thanks, I will pick it up in the morning, or you can pop it into my pigeon hole so I can collect it in the morning, I have some plans for this evening," Callie replied, squeezing Arizona's hand in hers while looking at her and giving her a cheeky smile while she continued to walk past Frank.
"Ah, Ms. Torres, I think it is urgent, you want to see it tonight, like now," Frank insisted.
"I'm sorry Frank, I truly won't get to it tonight so I will get the message in the morning, I have some other business to attend to," Callie replied with another squeeze to Arizona's hand and a cheeky smile.
"But Ms. Torres," Frank tried a final time, only to be cut off by the elevator doors closing him off from the couple.
Once hidden behind the closed elevator doors Callie spun around and pushed Arizona up against the back wall of the lift, pushing one of her legs in between Arizona's, placing contact on the area she was sure Arizona wanted it most.
"Oh god, Calliope, what are you doing?" Arizona asked, slightly shocked.
"Well after all the sexy eyes and the eye flirting, it's my turn and I am getting you back," Callie replied, inching her face just millimetres away from Arizona's.
"Oh yeah, get me back hey, and how do you intend on doing that?" Arizona said, her voice now an octave lower than normal.
"Oh babe, wouldn't you like to know. Telling you would be giving away my best ammo, and that doesn't seem like a very good idea, does it seem like a good idea to you babe?" Callie supplied, raising her right eyebrow.
"Well it depends Calliope," Arizona begun in her most seductive voice, "If I was in your position then no, no I can't see it being a good idea. But from my position, I feel like it would be a good idea to share."
"You'll find out babe, but as it is happening, not before," Callie finalised before leaning in and capturing Arizona's lips in her own, pushing her impossibly harder against the back wall of the elevator. She kissed her until she heard the ding of the elevator, signalling that they had arrived at their level. Callie took this opportunity to spin Arizona around, one of Callie's hands on the small of her back and the other holding her head so as to not break the kiss, and back Arizona toward her apartment door which was luckily on parallel to the elevator door, though a little to the left. At the sudden change and fast movement Arizona let out a small squeal, but managed to keep the kiss going.
Arizona then felt another cold, hard thing hit her back, this time though it was the door to Callie's apartment that came into contact with her back.
"God Calliope," Arizona moaned out when she found Callie's leg once again between her own. She took the opportunity to grind down a little, shots of pleasure coursing through her body as she made contact, causing her to moan again.
"You like that, hey?" Callie asked, already knowing the answer to her question.
"Callie, I need you," Arizona gasped out as she once again let herself grind down on the leg below her while Callie enjoyed the sight of her marvellous girlfriend letting go in to raw need and allowing.
"What's the rush Arizona?" Callie asked, knowing exactly what the rush was but enjoying being a tease but reaching for her keys anyway.
"Come on Callie, unlock the door," Arizona said, her body pressed between the door and Callie, with one of Callie's hand leaning against the door and the other fumbling to get the key in the lock as she kissed up and down Arizona's neck.
"Callie, come on, inside, I really don't want to have to take you in the hallway," Arizona threatened, her head thrown back a little, now resting on the door.
"Ok, ok ,ok.. give me sec," Callie said, pulling her head back slightly but still pressing her body into Arizona, she slid the key into the lock, twisted it and the handle together and the pair fell through the door, both stumbling and holding onto the other in an attempt to say upright, Callie still attempting to reattach her lips to Arizona's neck.
"Calliope," an unexpected deep voice rung out through Callie's moderately sized apartment, causing both girls to stop dead in their tracks. Once all eyes were focused in the direction of the voice it sounded again, "Who is that?"
"Um, Daddy, this is my girlfriend, Arizona."
