Ch. 25 Date Night Part 1: Pick Up and Rules
written 6/27/12
On his way to pick up Pearl, Dimas ws in deep thought about her, but when he got near her hollow he started to freak out. "What about her
parents, especially her Father? What if we start things off on the wrong talon?" These questions and many others began circulating around in
his head, getting him so nervous that he felt he would faint at any moment. Just then he took a good hard look at the Brazilian Jasmine he had
picked for Pearl, it looked right back at him as if to say, "Remember what Mom said. "The difference between a good and bad first impression is
confidence, be confident and you should do just fine."" Dimas looked up from the flower to his date's hollow. He gathered up all his confidence
and courage and continued his flight to his date's hollow to pick her up. "Here I come Pearl."Dimas said to himself.
While all these nervous and feelings going through Dimas' mind, Pearl was having problems of her own. The first problem being of whether or
not she looked good, was solved rather easily from the reassurance of her Mom and Dad. Her second and hardest problem was getting her
parents, mostly her Father, to stay calm about Dimas and her going out with him for the first time. "Dad, I know that you're gonna want to
know the details about where we're going and what we're going to do on our first date, but could you do me a favor?" Pearl asked. "Maybe,
what is it?" inquired Blu. "Please don't speak to or look at him in a way that'll make him nervous." requested Pearl. Blu pondered over his
daughter's request until his gaze met Jewel's, who nodded. He looked back at his daughter, who still maintained a pleading expression. "Well
alright I'll try, but I'll still want to know what the date entails." replied Blu in agreement.
Just as Pearl finished talking with her parents, Dimas made his appearence at their hollow's entrance. "Hello am I too early or too late?" asked
Dimas. "No in fact you're right on time, and Blu and I love birds that keep to their commitments, don't we Blu?" Jewel asked her mate, who
nodded in agreement. "I brought something for your daughter may I see her?" asked Dimas. Her parents were about to answer, then as if on
cue, Pearl fluttered up in front them and said, "Of course you may." She was shining so brightly in front of him that he was barely able to keep
his cool, but he knew that he had to in front of her parents. He pulled out from behind him the lovely all pink flower he picked for her. "Oh
Dimas it's absolutely gorgeous." Pearl replied. "Yes, and it's most commonly called the Brazilian Jasmine." he said. "I brought for you to wear in
your crown." Pearl was so happy that she wanted to kiss him, but she knew she couldn't in front of her parents. Jewel leaned in toward Blu and
whispered to him, "Oh Blu, romantic, handsome, and giving. Some of the best male traits in the world." Blu leaned back toward her and
whispered back to her, "Yes he is, but I'd still like to know exactly what they're gonna do on their date as well as lay down some ground rules
for him to follow while in our daughter's presence." Dimas saw Pearl's parents whispering to each other and thought that something was wrong.
Pearl saw this and nudged her Father in the side. "What is it Pearl?" he asked. "You're making Dimas uncomfortable by whispering back and
forth with Mom about him." she said. "Well if you want the truth, your Mother was complimenting him on how romantic, handsome, and giving
he was which are all very great attributes for a male." replied Blu. "I told her that before you go out I want details about the date and to give
some ground rules while in your presence." "Well alright." said Pearl. She went back to reassure the nervous Dimas that nothing was wrong.
"It's okay Dimas, Dad just wants the details of what we're gonna do on our date, as well as, lay down some ground rules for you while you're
with me." said Pearl giving him a comforting pat on his back with her wing. "Thanks Pearl, but it's mainly the phrase "ground rules" that send
chills down my spine." replied Dimas. "I'll make sure he uses another phrase." she said. She went over and whispered something to her Father.
Blu nodded. "Thank you Dad." she said. "Your welcome my daughter." replied Blu. She rushed over to Dimas' side and whispered, "Don't worry
everything's gonna be alright." Blu faced Dimas. "Now where are you taking our daughter tonight?" he inquired in a serious tone. Dimas
swallowed a large lump in his throat. "Well I was thinking about taking her out dancing at a club called "Paradise"." Dimas replied. Blu nodded
his head and looked at Jewel for her okay. She nodded back at him, then he returned his attention to Dimas. "Well that's just fine with us." said
Blu. "However there are a few guidelines I need you to follow when you're with our daughter." "Of course sir, what are they?" Dimas asked
politely. "Promise us that that you will protect and respect her at all times." said Jewel. "And above all no cloacal intercations of any kind in any
way. "Mom!" shouted Pearl. "Not cool!" "Other than that, you two have fun." said Blu calmly. Pearl grabbed Dimas by the wing. "Come on,
Dimas." she said annoyed with her parents. "Let's go and have some fun." "Alright!" he said excitedly. "However, can I say one last thing to
your parents before we go?" Pearl thought for a moment, gave a sigh, and said, "Fine, I'll wait by the exit." She paced to the exit/entrance, and
Dimas walked back over to Blu and Jewel, and said, "Thank you for giving me the honor, no the priviledge of taking your daughter out on a
date tonight." Blu and Jewel smiled. "You're alright." Blu said giving Dimas a pat on the back. "One more thing I should let you know about
regarding Pearl." Dimas looked at Blu. "What's that?" he asked. "Well she shares her Mother's free spirit." said Blu. At that point Blu and Dimas
faced Jewel, who blushed at the mention of that very true statement. "Anyways that's just one of the many reasons to watch out for her."
finished Blu. "Now you kids have fun." With that Dimas rejoined Pearl at the hollow's exit, and the two of them took off into the night.
As they were flying to the club, and once they were out of her Mom and Dad's view, Pearl gave Dimas a quick tug on his wing. "What is it
Pearl?" Dimas asked as they both landed on a nearby tree branch. "Well Dimas, I'm wondering about the Brazilian Jasmine that you gave me."
she said pointing to the beautiful flower in her crown. "What about it, do you not like it?" he asked. "No, no, no, I love it, it's just something
tells me there was some symbolic meaning for it." Pearl said. "You were just too nervous to say what it was in front of my parents." Dimas
looked into Pearl's beautiful eyes, they were waiting for the explaination. "Yeah, there was and there still is." he said. "It's supposed symbolize
my feelings and thoughts about you." Pearl smiled as she felt her heart flutter. "Well Dimas I too had a present for you when you gave me this
beautiful flower, but like you I didn't want to give it to you in front of my parents, so here it is." she said. She knew she couldn't hold her
feelings for him in any longer. "I'd love to -" began Dimas, but he never got a chance to finish because Pearl had pushed him up against the
tree. She began to kiss him, and it lasted for five straight minutes. They both were enjoying it regardless of the fact that, well for Dimas at
least, it was very unexpected. When they broke it, they saw each other blushing, and a silence drew itself between them. It lasted for two
minutes, so Dimas took it upon himself to break it. "Pearl that was probably the best gift that I've ever recieved." he said. "You're welcome."
she replied with a smile. "Now what do you say we hit the club while the night is still young." "I'd love that." said Dimas. So the two of them
resumed their flight to the club.
