"Where exactly are you taking me?" Sonny asks as they get into the car.

"Ahh! That's a surprise. Right, baby girl?"

"Yup!" Arianna quips from the backseat.

"Today was actually all of Arianna's doing," Will remarks proudly.

"Really?"

"Yup!" Arianna quips from the backseat. "Date wif Sonny!"

"Should I be excited or scared?" Sonny whispers to Will, smiling.

"Maybe a little bit of both."

"So, what is your plan Ms. Ari?" Sonny asks.

"Nope. Surise!" Arianna replies happily.

"You should have expected that answer, Sonny," Will laughs.

"Yeah. I know. But I thought she would give me some information."

"Not this girl. She's good with a secret."

Arianna keeps a steady flow of talking the entire car ride. Sonny is fairly certain she barely had time to take a breath. She is filling Sonny in on everything he has missed in the last week, which really isn't much.

Sonny smiles at Arianna's constant talking. He looks over at Will and sees the smile plastered on his face. Sonny is just basking in the glow of being with Will and Arianna. Although he is fairly nervous about what kind of date a three-year old would plan.

Will keeps looking in the mirror to watch his daughter. She keep clamoring on about what she has done every single day for the past week, at least what she can remember of it. Every once in a while Sonny gives him a look that means he needs clarification on what she is referring to. Will is actually pretty impressed on how much he does understand what Ari is saying. Even Gabi has a difficult time trying to understand what Ari is trying to tell her most of the time.

"Heeeeere!" Arianna screeches as Will slows down to find a parking spot.

"Where are we?"

"The Gymboree," Will replies.

Sonny gives Will a quizzical look and asks, "Gymboree?"

"Yaaaaaaay!" Arianna squeals from the back. "Ymbree!"

"This is where she requested we take you."

"Why exactly?" Sonny laughs.

"Baby girl, would you like to answer Sonny's question?"

"Play wif Sonny!"

"So, we are on a playdate?" Sonny asks Will.

"That is what her idea of a date is," Will laughs. "It's the only kind of date she has ever been on. And I hope to keep it that way for a very long time.

"Oh, I don't blame you," Sonny laughs. "Does this mean we are officially on a date, Arianna?" Sonny asks.

"Yes!" Arianna yells at Sonny as Will is attempting to get her out of her car seat.

"Ari, can you sit still for Daddy? You are making it very hard for me to get you out of your seat."

Arianna stops thrashing around until Will can get her out of the car. Then she runs over to Sonny and grabs his arm. Arianna begins tugging on his arms to get him to move toward the building.

"Let's goooo!" Arianna huffs, continuing to tug on Sonny's arm.

"You grabbed your change of clothes, right? Because you are definitely going to need them."

Sonny goes back to the car, with Arianna in tow, to get the clothes Will told him to bring along. Then Will grabs Arianna's free hand and they all walk toward the building together.

Sonny has never been to a Gymboree, so he has no idea what to expect. He walks into a huge room filled with brightly colored mats. And slides. And tunnels. And other items that he has never seen before. He is amazed as he looks around at all the kids running, jumping, and playing. Sonny feels Ari's hand wiggling, trying to release his grip so she can go play.

"Let's put our stuff up, Ari. Then you can go play."

Arianna pulls her jacket off then plops down on the floor to slip her shoes off. Will brought a pair of shorts for Ari to slip on. It was the deal if she wanted to wear that dress tonight. She begrudgingly obliged.

"Now do you see why I told you to bring the change of clothes? There's a bathroom back that way for you to go change."

"And where are your changes of clothes?"

"Well, you see. This is your date. Not mine."

"Oh, you play dirty."

Will gives Sonny a look on innocence as he heads off to the bathroom to change. Will watches Sonny saunter forward and he is very much appreciating his view. A couple of minutes later, Sonny comes out of the bathroom in his change of clothes. It takes Will's breath away just seeing him in those black shorts that hit him right above the knee and white T-shirt that cling to his muscles gloriously. Will thinks Sonny looks absolutely sexy walking towards them.

"Ready?" Arianna asks, impatiently.

"Let me just pull your hair back then you can go."

Will grabs a scrunchie from his back pocket and attempts to make a ponytail with Arianna's hair. Sonny is pretty sure that Arianna could make a better attempt at a ponytail than Will did. Sonny just laughs at the concentrated face Will is making while attempting this feat.

"What? Do you think you could do a better job?" Will huffs.

"I think Ari could do a better job," Sonny laughs. "Shouldn't you be better at these girly things with two little sisters?"

"I never had to do their hair," Will pouts.

"Let me try?"

Will hands the scrunchie over to Sonny. Sonny realizes why Will was having such a hard time. Arianna refused to stay still. But Sonny is able to pull all her hair out of her face and pile it all on top of her head.

"How's this?"

"Not too bad," Will replies. "For your first time."

"Play?" Arianna asks.

"Yes. You can go play now."

"Lets go Sonny!"

"What am I supposed to do?" Sonny asks Will.

"Oh, she will direct you!"

"Oh," Sonny replies, worriedly. "You're really not going to come?"

"No," Will replies, sweetly. "This is your date remember."

"Oh, I am totally going to get you back for this, Horton."

"I'm counting on it," Will smiles at Sonny.

Sonny can feel little hands tugging at his shirt.

"Coooome on Sonny!"

Will smiles and shrugs his shoulders at Sonny, who is dragged off by Ari. Sonny has this look of utter fear and Will can't help but laugh at him.

"You have no clue what you are in for," Will mouths to Sonny.

Will finds a seat where he can keep an eye on his daughter and Sonny. This isn't exactly your typical first date, but Will is loving it nonetheless.

An hour and a half later, Sonny stumbles over to Will with exhaustion apparent on his face and slightly out of breath. Will looks up at him and sets the book he has been reading down.

"How do you do it?" Sonny asks, breathlessly.

"Having fun with Ari?" Will laughs.

"How does she have so much energy?"

Will stands up and offers his seat to Sonny. "You look like you could use some rest."

Arianna comes skipping behind Sonny towards her father. "Coooome daddy!"

"I think it is about time we leave, baby girl."

"But daaaaaddy!" Arianna whines.

"Sweetie. It's getting late. Plus isn't there somewhere else you wanted to take Sonny?"

Arianna's eyes light up and she begins nodding her head. Sonny eyes widen with fear. He isn't quite sure he can take much more activity after that.

"What else did you have in mind?" Sonny whispers.

"Surise!" She squeals.

Will grabs both jackets and pairs of shoes and brings them over to the two. "Let's get ready so we can go."

Sonny and Arianna slip on their shoes and jackets. Will offers his hand to Sonny to help get him up while Arianna pops up off the ground.

"Lets gooooo!"

Will grabs his daughter's hand before she can go racing off towards the car and then the two walk towards the car together. Will keeps looking over his shoulder to make sure that Sonny is following behind. By the time Will has his daughter strapped in, Sonny makes it to the car. Will walks over to Sonny and opens his door for him.

"You look exhausted," Will whispers.

"I am," Sonny sighs.

"We can take you back home, if you want. I know you worked earlier. I guess this wasn't such a good idea. I'm sorry."

"No," Sonny whispers and grabs Will's hand. "I don't want this night to end."

Will looks Sonny in the eyes and smiles,"me neither."

Sonny climbs into the car, keeping his eyes locked on Will. Once inside, Will shuts the door and races over to his side of the car so that they can go to the next part of the date.

When Will gets into the car, Sonny looks over at him and smiles. Will grabs his hand and holds it until they reach their next destination.

"Heeeeeere!" Arianna gleefully yells when they arrive.

Sonny smiles at Will when he sees where they are, remembering the first time they came here.

"The ice cream shop," Sonny smiles.

"Yup!" Arianna says.

"This was the first place we all were together, outside of the coffee shop."

"And this is where Ari wanted to go?"

"Yeah. She loves ice cream."

"Well, who doesn't?"

"Ice creeeeem!" Arianna yells out as Will is getting her out of the car.

"How does she still have so much energy?" Sonny asks Will.

"Oh, don't worry. She is bound to collapse any time now."

"Am not!"

The threesome walk into the ice cream shop and order the exact same thing as the first time they came here. They even sit at the exact same table as before. But this time Ari climbs up on Sonny's lap to eat her ice cream. Will pulls out his phone to take a picture of this moment.

"Really?" Sonny asks.

"You have no idea how adorable you two look right now."

"I would probably have to say adorable is not the word I would use to describe myself at the moment."

"I would," Will whispers. "You always look amazing. Isn't that right, sweetie?"

"Sonny pretty!" Arianna exclaims.

Sonny can feel himself starting to blush at their words. Then attempts to change the subject. "Was I a good date tonight, Ari?"

"Bestest!" She exclaims with a mouth full of ice cream.

Will grabs a napkin and wipes himself and his daughter off after she spewed ice cream across the table. "What have we talked about?" Will asks sternly.

"Sowy," Arianna replies sheepishly, looking down at the table.

Sonny smiles at the interaction between father and daughter. Will looks at Sonny and rolls his eyes.

"We have been working on manners. Haven't we, Arianna?"

"Yup!" Arianna replies, looking up and smiling at her father.

"Clearly, we still have some work to do," Will retorts. "Are you almost done with that ice cream, baby girl?"

"Ya."

"Okay once you are all done, then we will head home."

"Nooooooo!" Arianna screams.

Sonny becomes startled after the loud scream and jumps, which causes Will to begin laughing hysterically. Arianna looks at her father with confusion and stops screaming. She then begins to pout.

"No!" She says stubbornly.

Once Will is able to control the laughter and can put on his serious face, he says,"you have to go to bed. And Sonny needs to go home."

"Nope!"

"Do not argue with me, Arianna."

"No Sonny leave."

Sonny looks over at Will and mouths,"It's okay. I don't need to go home."

Will nods his head in acknowledgment of what Sonny just said and smiles. Then he turns his attention back to Arianna and says,"Are you all done?"

"Yeah," Arianna whispers sadly.

"Maybe if you ask nicely enough, Sonny will come back with us and tuck you in."

Arianna turns around and looks at Sonny with hopeful eyes. "Will you? Tuck in? Pwease!"

Sonny laughs at the little girls enthusiasm and says, "Anything for you."
