Good news everyone. I will be updating sooner instead of updating every two weeks. My next update will probably be this weekend.

The Date

Two Month Later

Selina tore through her closet, throwing clothes everywhere. Finally she collapsed onto the ground crying. A soft knock could be heard on her door before it opened.

Kimiko's head peeked into the room as she surveyed the disaster it was in. Finally her eyes settled on the sobbing Selina. Kimiko slowly came in and closed the door. "Hey are you alright?" Kimiko asked with concern prevalent in her voice.

Selina looked up with a tear-stained face and answered quietly, "No I'm not."

"What's wrong?"

"I can't…I can't find anything… to wear…for my date… tonight." Selina gasped in between sobs.

"Maybe I can help you." Kimiko suggested.

"Would you?" Selina sniffled.

"Of course I would." Kimiko said, "Now lets go find you something to wear for that date of yours. Ok?"

"Ok." Selina said in voice barley above a whisper as she slowly stood up and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Now." Said Kimiko, "Lets clean up this mess you made."

Raimundo meanwhile was running his hands through his hair for what had to be the millionth time. He only stopped when he heard a knock on his door. He called out, "Come in," to whoever was on the other side.

Clay poked his head in and said, "I hope this ain't a bad time, Raimundo."

"No," Raimundo sighed. "What do you want?"

"I just came to see how you were doing."

Raimundo sighed and said, "I'm extremely nervous."

"Why?" Clay asked.

"Because I'm going to tell her my true feelings for her."

"Oh…well good luck Rai. I'm sure that she feels the same way about you."

"Thanks. I really hope that she does."

"I'm sure she does besides you two have been dating for more than two months now.

"True, I just can help but be nervous."

"Raimundo, don't worry about it, I'm sure she feels the same way.

"I hope so." Raimundo uttered under his breath.

"What about this dress?" Kimiko asked holding up a green dress.

"No, It's too bright."

"Ugh. Well what about this?" Kimiko asked holding up a pink dress with lace on the bottom of it.

Selina shuddered and said, "Ew, never in my life would I wear pink Kimiko."

"Well we have to find something for you to wear."

"I know I know." Selina muttered as she looked through the clothes Kimiko had brought from her room. As she was shifting through them her eyes lit up, as she knew exactly what she was going to wear. She pulled a deep red blouse, which had two-inch sleeve scrunch up, and the front of the blouse had the fabric crisscrossing each other and a long flowing black skirt from the pile and exclaimed, "I'll wear this!"

Kimiko looked at it but shrugged her shoulders and said, "If that is what you want to wear then go put it on now so we'll have enough time to fix your hair up and put some make up on your face." Selina nodded and left to go put it on.

An hour later Selina stepped out of her room with her hair in a bun and two thin strips of hair framing her face. She had black eyeliner on her eyes and her lips were a deep red. She was wearing black high heels with a strap going across her toes, which was covered in diamonds.

Selina took a deep breath as she headed for the courtyard where they had agreed to meet. When she entered, she saw Raimundo standing there with a single red rose in his hand.

Raimundo was wearing a tuxedo with black shoes to complement his attire. At first Raimundo was taken aback but then he stepped towards her and said, "You look beautiful tonight."

Selina grinned as she said, "Thanks, so do you."

Raimundo muttered thanks under his breath before he held the rose out to Selina and said, "This is for you."

Selina took it out of his hands graciously and kissed him on the check. "Thanks," She murmured in his ear before the two went to where Dojo was waiting for them. The two looked at each other one last time before hopping onto him. When they were both on him, he took off and didn't land until he was in front of the best Chinese Restaurant in all of China. The two hopped off of him and silently went inside. They were immediately seated as soon as they stepped inside because Raimundo had made reservations before hand.

Dinner seemed to fly by for those two that night. Right after their scrumptious dessert Raimundo took Selina by the hand and led her to the balcony located on the second floor of the restaurant. They gazed out at the scenery for a few moments before Selina said, "Hey Rai, why are you so nervous tonight?"

"Huh?" Raimundo asked with a questioning glance in his eyes.

Selina rolled her eyes and said, "Raimundo, you've been very fidgety tonight and I'm concerned for you. Did something happen to you today? What's wrong?"

Raimundo sighed and said, "Nothing, nothing's wrong with me today."

Selina suppressed a groan as she said, "No, something's wrong. What is it?"

Raimundo turned to look at Selina fully before replying, "Selina I need to tell you something." Selina turned her attention completely on Raimundo before he continued. "Selina, I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now. It's just that I...I didn't know how to tell you."

"Tell me what?" Selina asked

"I…um… I…uh…I…" Raimundo took a deep breath before saying, "I love you."

"What?" Selina asked shocked.

"I love you." Raimundo repeated.

Selina shed a tear as she whispered in Raimundo's ear, "I love you too."

Raimundo glanced down at her before he slowly moved his lips down to hers', while Selina slowly moved her lips up to his' before their lips embraced, and they kissed each other passionately with their eyes closed.

Time seemed to freeze for them as they were locked in this embraced for what felt like an eternity. Finally they slowly drifted apart opening their eyes and gazing at the other. Slowly they moved down again to kiss when suddenly a big yellow head appeared between the two. "Hello my friends!" Omi exclaimed.

Raimundo and Selina quickly moved apart when Raimundo asked, "What do you want Omi?"

"I just came to tell you that Dojo is ready to take you home whenever you are ready."

"Ok, Omi we'll be down in a few minutes." Slowly Omi turned around and left. Raimundo looked back at Selina and heard her scoff. Raimundo smiled at that and said, "Come lets go." Selina consented and took his arm as the two left the restaurant and hopped onto Dojo.
