Pepper had big expectations for this date: dinner, dancing and all the other swanky accoutrements Tony provided for the other women he had taken out.  What she actually got was a visit to an amusement park and an ice cream cone.  Even a broke pre-teen who still though roller coasters were more fun than the opposite sex probably would have bothered to stay out longer than Tony had.  He ran off, citing business complaints that his secretary knew were lies.

She never knew where he wanted to take her the next night, or how fragile his confidence really was.
