Char and Dylan entered the bakery. Char's eyes sparkled as she gleefully looked at all the desserts.
"Wow, everything looks so pretty!" Char beamed.
"Well, choose something" Dylan smiled.
"Huh?"
"I got some money from Mango… So, I can get you something"
"Oh, you don't have to do that! You should save it."
"But I want to. You looked so happy eating that mousse, so yeah."
"I really shouldn't…"
"I'm not taking 'no' for an answer"
She flashed pink and smiled. She looked around some more and stopped at a picture of a large crepe.
"How about this?" She pointed at the strawberry crepe, "So, we can share it. I would feel guilty if you spent it all on me."
"Oh, um, sure okay. We'll have one of those" Dylan smiled
"Coming right up" the storekeeper replied
They sat down at the table. Char looked around, and fidgeted with her tentacles. Dylan watched her and twiddled his thumbs.
"So um how was the slide?" Char asked still looking away from him.
"It was fun… How was the lazy river?"
"Well, it was nice… very relaxing."
"So umm uh, what do you like?"
"Like? Um, what do you mean?"
"Your favorite things, um food, stuff like that"
"I like sweets I guess. I love stuffed animals, and cute stuff"
"Really?! I saw games we can play to get some"
"But those games are rigged, you can waste so much cash trying to get a prize. Unless you are Leon anyways."
"We won't know until we try"
"Here you go," the storekeeper placed a huge crepe, filled with sweet whipped cream and fresh strawberries, in front of us.
She placed two spoons and napkins on the table, and walked away. Char took the spoons and handed one to Dylan. She took a spoonful and smiled.
"It's delicious!" She squealed, "Here try some!"
He took a spoonful and smiled. They happily ate the crepe together. They got closer together to eat more comfortably. Leon, Jazzy, Chizel, and I watched from afar in the bushes. Chizel eagerly watch them. He didn't seem to notice his hand was on mine. I was squealing in my head. I happily nuzzled against him. He looked over at me and turned pink.
"Oh! Sorry Mango" Chizel moved over a bit.
"Don't be… Chizel" I nuzzled him against him again
He turned red and cleared his throat. Char and Dylan finished their crepe and looked at each other.
"You know I never seen purple eyes before" Dylan looked into her eyes
"Oh, really?" Char turned pink, "They are pretty common..."
"They're beautiful…"
They were just inches from each other's face. Char smiled and bashfully looked away. Dylan sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. They started to leave to play some games. Dylan grabbed her hand.
"Could we hold hands? I don't wanna get lost here" He lied as he scratched his cheek.
"O-oh okay" She flashed pink and they walked together.
We followed them to a game corner. Char looked at a Great Zapfish plushie. It looked very fluffy. She smiled and continued walking.
"You like that doll don't you?" Dylan asked her
"What? No, it's just cute…" She replied
"Okay, I'll get it for you"
"What? No way it's too hard…"
"You saved and risked your life to keep me safe. This is nothing… I told you before, I'm not taking 'no' for an answer"
Char flashed pink and sighed in defeat. Dylan handed a coin to the gamekeeper. He handed him a basket of rings. He tossed a ring into the bottle pit, it bounced out. He tossed another and it caught into a red bottle. Char smiled and clapped for him. He tossed another and it bounced off. The other two bounced off too.
"See I told you…" Char patted his back
"There must be a game…where I can win you a big prize…." Dylan rubbed his arm.
"You don't have to do that…"
"I do! You already did so much for me… How can I ever repay you?"
"I just don't work like that… I don't want anything in return"
She took his hand again and they started walking again. Until Dylan stopped at a balloon dart game.
"One more try…" He looked at Char, "Just give me one more"
"If you say so," Char sighed and stepped back.
Dylan handed the gamekeeper cash and got 5 darts. He took one and tossed it. It missed and got stuck onto the board. He tried again and observed the dart's flight path. It hit one of the balloons. Char smiled and clapped. He smirked and tossed the dart at an angle. It popped several balloons. He popped nearly all of them with the remaining darts. Char dropped her jaws.
"Well great work lil man what which of the big prizes would you like?" the gamekeeper clapped
"That one" Dylan pointed to a Giant Zapfish fluffy plushie.
"Ah, that one huh? Nice choice" The gamekeeper brought it down and handed it to Dylan.
Dylan proudly walked back to Char. She smiled and clapped for him. He held it out to her. Char flashed pink and took it. She hugged and hid her face into it. Dylan smiled and sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.
We peeked over from the arcade. Jazzy, Chizel and I were all happy for them. I was hoping for them to kiss now. Leon came back from the prize counter with an octopus and a squid plushie. He looked over at them. He looked away for a bit, but smiled after a bit.
"Hey… I just realize, um it's getting kinda dark," Jazzy replied, "Ya know how long we've been here or what time it is?"
"Oh man… It's almost 7:30" Chizel bit his lip as he looked over at the time, "The park will close soon. That and Robin is waiting for us"
"Well, let's bounce then!"
"But we have to act like we didn't follow them!" I winked, "You don't want them to separate now do you?"
"Whatever come on! We really need to go!" Leon ran ahead
We ran after him and made it look like we were searching for Char and Dylan the whole time. We quickly got our stuff and got changed in the changing room. We rushed out to the parking lot. Robin was waiting in a grey minivan.
"Ah, there you are. Did you guys all have fun?" Robin smiled
"Yeah!" I smiled as everyone climbed into the van.
"Hey, Mango? Varday told me to tell you that you will be handling the store for a while"
"Huh, wait why?"
"He said he had to go do something somewhere. He wasn't very specific about it"
"That's odd… Varday usually doesn't leave the shop to do his job. Guess, he has his reasons"
Everyone looked at each other. Robin started driving. Everyone was chatting at first. Soon everyone became tired and fell asleep. Char rested against Dylan side as he wrapped his arm around her. She happily snuggled against her plushie. I got to snap a picture of them and bonus ones for Leon and Chizel's sleepy faces. Today was a good day.
-Author's Notes-
School's gonna start up soon. It's kinda bittersweet. Oh well, I'm pretty sure I can make time for writing. If I can't I'll probably just say so in advance. I just ask that you don't rush me. I know what I said about updating at least once a week, but stuff can happen. So please understand.
Anyways how is everything? Should I fix anything? Thanks for reading!
