Pahki-2: The Date.

September 11 of 2010- The date.

Leonard was in the park, wearing the clothes that he bought for his date with Ella, a black jacket with two white stripes on the sleeves over a blue t-shirt that had black on the borders, green pants and brown boots.

He was watching his cellphone noticing a video that he posted about Topher and Amy playing God of Fighters that had "Chillin with the homies" in the title.

-I got this, I got this.- Topher was saying while he send his 3 characters to face a blonde girl with the stereotypical anime school girl uniform. Topher was indeed having a huge disadvantage because he barely did anything to Amy while his whole team had at least half of HP each one.

-Gotcha Bitch!-Amy joked when she made her character Sailor America give him an overkill with that girl, getting down two of Topher's characters. The last one being on pixel health.

-Topher you are a fucking idiot.- Beardo was laughing from watching how Topher turned an almost secured defeat to a completely secured defeat.

-Shut up, I can give a come… FUCK!- Amy's character kicked Topher's last character she ended defeating him

-Yeah, you are an idiot.- Beardo said.

-He is my idiot.- Amy continued while there was a victory screen with that gal called Sailor America making her say "I guess you were sent to the kitchen Volt." After that, a voice saying "Sailor America, wins!" was heard in the background, Beardo's laughs could be heard with that comment.

Leonard was happy because that would mean they wouldn't spy them. However, he was nervous. The girl he had been dating for a long time is Elizabeth Diamond, aka. The most attractive girl in the school they were going aka. Ella Diamond, aka. His girlfriend. He fixed his hair, he was indeed nervous of what was going to happen. It's the first time he had a date with her alone, no Topher, no Amy, and definitely no Beardo to either help him or spy him to make fun of him later.

-Ok Leonard, just try to be yourself.- He said.- Don't get nervous. You already know her.-He was breathing, he was nervous. However, his nerves disappeared once he watched her arriving.

Ella's clothes were pretty much extravagant even if she was wearing only pink and white colors, her hoodie was pink with pink and white stripes on the sleeves and with a darker tone under her chest, under that hoodie, there a pink t-shirt with fuchsia borders and she also wore white pants that didn't even arrive to her ankles while she was also wearing pink and fuchsia boots. Her hair? It was short, like always, Her snow white skin that made her look like a princess and specially that beautiful smile that made him love her.

-Hey Leo.- The girl said, you can notice that like Leonard, she was blushing too. Was she embarrassed from watching Leonard?- You look pretty cool.

-Thanks.- He said.- You also look fine.- He said.

-So… Where are we going?-She asked.

-Well.. For now, we can hang out around the park.

-It could be fine.

After this, Leonard and Ella started to walk around, to see what they could do., watching some kids playing, couples loving each other until they saw a guy playing a guitar and 9 birds which were near to him. They listened to him playing with his guitar a song from the band Oases, that song was Wonderful.

-I love that song.- Ella gave the guy 20 dollars.

-Thank you Ella, I hope you enjoyed that song.- The guy got the 20 dollars.- Who is that guy you are hanging out with?

-Oh, he? He's my boyfriend, his name is Leonard.- She showed Leonard to Trent and they two had a handshake.

-Nice to meet you man, you are really lucky.

-Thanks Trent, and how are you doing? I haven't heard about you since Action.-The LARPer asked.

-Everything is fine man, just chillin with my band.-He looked at some guys who were in a ice cream stand.- We're not as popular as we were before though.

-And what happened? I thought you were going to be the new The Beetles.

-We lost that popularity, not that we care though.-Trent looked at his friends.- Having those idiots are the best thing for me.-Then Trent looked at Ella again.- Hey Ella, can you tell Gwen I said hi?-The guy asked this to Ella.

-Oh, sorry Trent, I haven't been in contact with my cousin ever since Pahkitew ended.

-Heh, have fun Ella see you on the guitar class.- Trent said and then the couple continued walking for a while.

-Is that me or that guy has a thing with the number 9?

-I mean, he has something with that number, not the obsession that he had in Action, but something gives me this vibe that he and that number are bonded somehow.- She said.- Anyways, he is my guitar teacher.

-Since when you have been practicing guitar?-Leonard was curious about this fact about her.

-I remember watching this person who is a streamer, not Meowplay. This guy, guitarist, Rock Roll. You know him, he is one of the Rockers.

-The Ridonculous team?- Leonard started to make memories and then he reminded of Rock.-Oh! I remember, pretty cool guy, he usually plays some music in the park, from what Sammy told to me.

-Heh, I guess Sammy has a new hobbie.

-She's pretty good, I have listened her music in Beards' house, she had been staying there for a while, who knows what happened, but she says that everything is fine, so... I think we'd let her slide that one- The guy commented about this referring to Beardo and his family and then he opened a car with some keys he brought.

-That's a pretty good car Leonard.- His girlfriend said.- Where did you get one?

-Dad sells cars. He lend me an old one that he has and that he uses to teach me and my sisters how to drive.

-We should meet your parents one day.- Ella complimented her boyfriend.

-Maybe one day, I'll do that.- He got in the car and Ella joined him, he drove slowly, because yes, he knows how to drive, but he doesn't want to ruin the car that he was given. While they were driving, Leonard put some rock music to entertain her.

-So… About your dad, have you visited him?

-Nope, he doesn't like that.

-I thought you had a good father-daughter relationship with him.

-We have, the thing is that he doesn't want me get involved with him at all because of you know… he was a drug dealer.

-Yeah… Sorry, I forgot that.- He said.

-It's OK Leo, look. But I have never asked about your parents. How are they?

-They are normal.- Leonard said.- Just an accountant dad and a housewife mom. It's not like that extravagant family that Beardo has.- He joked.- Beardo's parents are musicians, you can say that they are a music family because all of them like that, even Trisha has her own musical stuff.

-I'm pretty sure I would like them.

-You will, they are really cool.- He said.

-Hey Leonard.

-What happened?

-Topher told me some days ago that you thought I was too much for you. What did you mean by that?-She asked, a little bit concerned.

-Oh… That.- Leonard parked the car in the mall, a place they wanted to go.- Ok, about that, sometimes I think that maybe you are way too much for me, let's be honest, you are the most popular and beautiful girl from our school.

-Awww… Thanks.

-And I on the other hand, I'm Leonard.

-So?

-So what?

-I mean, you are Leonard and yes, you might not be good for those people and they might bully you a lot, but you are the best boy for me.- She said.- You were for me when I was depressed about Dave. And you were helping me when I was struggling with my homework and even when I was eliminated in Pahkitew. I like the stuff you like, you like the stuff I like, you also were nice enough to help me cleaning my house the day I moved to my own house. You may not see it in the way I see it, but you have been someone I loved for a long time.- She hugged him.

Leonard haven't thought about that. He had been there for Topher, for Beardo, for Amy, hell, even for Tina, Andy and Juliet. But he also forgot that he had been there for Ella, since the very beginning, trying to be friends with her, being on her side, trying to make her feel better after what happened with Sugar or with Dave. Sure, they started to date not too much after the show.

-Yeah, maybe I should start watching things from that way.-Leonard commented.

-I mean, if you think you are not a great person, remember that the most popular and beautiful girl from our school is dating you.- She complimented him giving him a reminder of his own words.

After that, Leonard and Ella were hanging out around the mall, looking at different places. The mall was full of life, and it somehow had many people disguised as anime characters.

-Wait, did we miss something?-Leonard asked, he didn't know what was going on, until he saw a fat girl near to him.

-Leonard!-The girl said that to him and hugged him.

-Hey Tammy!-Ella greeted the girl and hugged her.

-And I see that you brought your girlfriend.- Tammy joked.- How are you Ella?

-I'm fine. I'm in a date with Leonard.

-That's good, have fun.

-Wait.- Ella stopped Tammy because she saw her going to a game store that was actually pretty crowded.- What is going on?

-Remember that gamer girl we met?-Tammy asked to Ella making the girl get excited.

-Can I go?-She understood the message and some minutes later, she was watching how this Chinese girl she and the guys met when they picked Leonard up after Ridonculous Race was playing a game in a dancing pad. The way she was moving herself to make the notes connect with the slots made her get really excited.

-Impressive, right?-Tammy said. And not even 30 seconds after Tammy said this, she the girl stopped moving, the song had ended and then she looked behind her to see Leonard, Tammy and Ella.

-Leo!-The Asian girl looked at Leonard and hugged him, it was a time since the last time she saw him, she was actually pretty tall, even more than Ella and Tammy.- I didn't see you since the race happened. Where have you been?

-Oh, I?-Leonard was confused and blushed from embarrassment from watching how that attractive girl was hugging him, he was looking at Ella thinking that she may be jealous, but instead she was excited for watching her.

-You are Kitty Wong? Meowplay?-Ella asked excited.

-Yeah, and you are…

-I'm your biggest fan!-She said and then she hugged Leonard, also, his girlfriend, so sorry, he is taken.- She joked.

Kitty just snickered a little.

-Well, well, well Leo. It looks that you have been busy with your girlfriend.- She joked.- By the way. What are you doing here guys?-Kitty asked curious about Leonard and Ella.

-Oh, we are just having a date.-Ella commented.

-Owww… That's cute, good luck with it.

-Thanks.- Leonard smiled and while they were about to go, Ella noticed a stand where a guy was selling videogames and then she noticed a cover. The cover contained that blonde guy Topher was using as a character along with a title that said "God of Fighters".

-Wait, that's the game Topher and the guys were playing.-Ella said.- Do you have it?

-Uh? Sure, I have one.

-I don't have it, Topher gifted me its console on my birthday and I want to play it with you… We can play it whenever we want.-She said excited this, her face was of pure excitement because she saw sometimes how Amy was playing this game and the only time she played it, she almost beat her. Obviously Amy won, but the idea of Ella almost winning her on her first attempt was something that surprised the mean twin.- Can we play it together, please?-She said.

-Yes.- Leonard thought about that after saying what he said, it could be kinda expensive for him, he was thinking a lot about it, he was thinking in buying the game for her but after watching this to cost 40 dollars, it could be a lot, I mean, not a scam like the Pocketmon games but...

-I want a God of Fighters copy.-She said, paying with her own money.

-Oh.- Leonard noticed how Ella paid with her money a copy for that game and then after getting the game, they left the store. While they were walking, they noticed a pizzeria there and then Leo poked Ella's shoulder.- Hey Ella. I am suggesting, maybe… we can go to that pizzeria, I'll cover it.

-Oh.-Ella noticed the pizzeria in front of her.- We can.- She smiled and then they started to wait for the pizza. Meanwhile, Leonard and Ella were looking at each other nervously, both of them blushing from the embarrassment of watching each other, they were attractive for each other.

Someone had to make the first move.

And Leonard spoke.

-Hey… I saw you really excited with Kitty, why was that?

-Oh? That?-Ella asked.- I like Kitty, she is a streamer known as MeowPlay, this is why I was too excited when she was there when you arrived with her after Ridonculous.- She complimented her.- I have been following her since she was like, I don't know, 13? She was starting as a Metuber and well… She became popular.

-I know.- Leonard commented.- And I met her, she is like you saw her, a pretty cool person to hang out.

-This is why I wanted to play God of Fighters, not only to spend time with you and the guys, but because I want to be a Metuber.

-Oh, really?

-Yeah! Maybe you will judge me for…

-I'll help you, maybe we can be a duo.-Leonard commented.- I mean, I may not be popular, but during the summer before I went to Pahkitew Island, I was an intern for Big Sister and trust me, it's way better than Total Drama, I have many people there.

-That's cool!-She complimented him.- Speaking of Total Drama. Are you going to help Topher and Amy with that?

-Honestly?-Leonard drank a little of his soda.- When Topher and Amy have planned what they want to do, maybe we can help them. Although I don't know if I can do something.

-Why do you say that?

-I only lasted 2 episodes.-He replied.

-Oh, sorry, I didn't remember that.

-Nah, it's ok Elizabeth.-Leonard called Ella by her full name.- Besides, my best time was with you after my elimination.

-Yeah…-Ella felt a little bit sad when she reminded how was her elimination.- You know… I can't forgive her.

-Who?

-Sky-The princess wannabe said.-I loved her, I mean, as a friend, not as a couple like you, I didn't have a problem with her, she was like the closest friend that I had while I was in the competition… To be fair the only one because you didn't last and David was annoyed by my presence… or at least weirded out by me, Shawn was an outcast, kinda like Topher but at least Topher wouldn't say "Zoinks Scooba" if he had a dog and well Sugar…

-Let's skip Sugar, ok?

-… Ok.-Ella still couldn't believe that Sugar was mean to her during her time in Pahkitew, she tried to do her best in Pahkitew but that didn't work because she got her eliminated.-With Sky was different, she was my friend, I wouldn't have a problem if she dated with Dave or not, but what she did in the finale… cheating on her boyfriend Keith, using and abandoning Dave, Even if I don't hate her, I can't like her for what she did, I will never tell her this, so please, leave this between us two…

-I understand that.- Leonard said this.- Look, with Dave I had my issues with him, I thought we were on bad terms because of him being just Island Noah but without a square head.- Ella giggled with that comment, even if it was about David.- But after he was eliminated… he was kinda OK, he even apologized for how he acted although he was not too motivated because of the rejection… I barely talked with him, he was pretty much spending his time in his room, I tried my best to get him out of it, but well… He didn't and well… the way he acted, let's not forget he tried to kill her.

-Those were just rumors.- Ella said.- I had watched the season, he just wanted to burn the money in front of her.

-Wow, that's a dick movie.

-Hey, Amy told me that if Sammy made it to the finale and she was her helper, she would help her to get the money just to burn it in front of her… To be fair… That was Amy when we were just making this homework, ever since she moved with Topher, she had been more "docile".- Ella tried to explain in a way how Amy calmed herself after meeting Topher.

-Yeah, I remember how those two met, Topher told me that.-The LARPer laughed at this.- Man, I still remember how Topher interpreted how Amy acted as a monkey and she was just doing monkey noises while he was explaining this.

-It was funny, Beardo didn't made Amy live that one down until today.

-Your pizza is here.- A girl brought them a pineapple pizza to them and they started to eat it. Both of them looked curious at each other after realizing that the other was eating pineapple pizza.

-I didn't know you like that.-Leonard and Ella said that at the same time.- I love the pineapple pizza.-Both of them continued talking about their guilty pleasure of the pineapple pizza, they laughed and after that and then they started to eat.

-So… How did you meet Trent?-Leonard asked her.

-Oh, him? Jealous?-She joked.

-Babe.-Leonard referred Ella as "Babe" and then he felt awkward for a few seconds because of both of them looking embarrassed from that.-Sorry, Ella.

-No, no, I like it.- She blushed.-You can call me like that. Anyways, I meet Trent some months ago, on a music store, I met him, asked him if he could teach me how to play the guitar. He said that yes and we started to practice. He is a good guy, and sometimes I even met the Drama brothers.

-Oh really?

-Yeah, all of them are cool guys, even Cody even if he's a simp.-Ella joked.- I mean, not that he was popular with girls after the show, everyone were just drooling for Alejandro.

-Heh.

-Besides, even the stalker girl from our school said that he is a nono.

-And what about Justin and Harold?

-Oh, those 2 are really good guys, specially Harold, who apparently had a relative of him in our season.

-Wait, who?

-Scarltett.- Ella said.- Speaking of Scarlett, have you seen her after the season. I would like to talk with her.

-I haven't besides, I doubt she would want to show herself, considering that she almost killed everyone.

-And being saved by the little gremlin.-Ella joked and both members of the couple laughed, they continued talking at the same time they were eating their pizza, finally they finished the pizza. Leonard paid for it, the couple were hanging out in the mall for a few hours until it was 4 p.m. So they decided to return to home… or more specifically to Leonard's home just to teach her how to play God of Fighters.

-Hey mom.- Leonard said to his mom, a tall woman that was similar like him.

-Hey sweetie.

-Gonna be busy, if you need something, please knock the door.

-Ok sweetie, love you.

-Love ya too mom.- Leonard commented, and then they entered in his room, it was pretty nerdy looking, having a lot of LARPing stuff although it had stuff from the Lord of the Pendants and Parry Hotter

Once they put the disk on Ella's new console, she looked at the intro, it was about many characters getting some invitations with some attractive rock music making Ella hum to the rhythm of their notes, but specially two of them, one of them, a guy with short brown hair wearing an anime black school uniform, the other one, a guy with white hair wearing only a pair of black pants with flames on it.

-I want to play with the white haired guy?

-Kobra? Well…-Leonard was about to continue just to then hear the screen say "Welcome to God of Fighters" and some seconds later they were on the character selection screen, Ella was surprised to see almost more than 30 characters in that game but she just picked 3 characters, the so-called Sailor America, the guy who Topher was using called Volt Mackenzie and finally the guy that Leonard referred as Kobra.

Leonard on the other hand picked a muscular blonde and pale guy with an armor a girl who looked like a boxer that is not wearing gloves and a guy that looked like a Mexican wrestler with green and white wrestling boots, pants and mask that made him look like a dragon.

-Look, the 3 characters that I picked are Darius Brando, Danny "Sweet" Dunn and Shen Long.- Leonard referred the blonde armored guy as Darius, Danny as the girl and Shen Long as the masked guy.

-And what should we do?

-Well, play, you almost beat Amy once, right?

-Yeah… But I only pressed buttons randomly, Amy told me that Topher always tried to do this when he plays with her but he hasn't beated her yet if she doesn't let him win. I want to defeat her as equals.-She commented and they started to play a little, you could see with the characters that Volt was going easy with Darius, also, by the language they were using, it looks like if Volt Mackenzie had something against Darius Brando.

-Of course you suck, you are British.- Said the character.

-Man, he is pretty much a mean guy.- Ella commented.

-Actually, like Amy, he had a reason behind this.

-And that reason is?

-He lost his brother as his backstory, so he is provoking everyone to be strong enough like him once he beats them, he wants Earth to have more people to protect it than him.

-Wow, deep.- She said.

-Yeah, hey Ella.

-What?

-I have a question, have you been thinking what are you going to do in the future?

-Oh, me? Well… I have been planning that I could be both a Metuber and a singer, like, I make videos about me playing videogames, just to be like Kitty with Meowplay but I also want to make videos about music.

-That's cool. But are you good with the edition of those videos?

-Uh, no, but I know someone. Remember that guy nicknamed as Virgin?

-Virgil?

-Yeah. He pays well and does a good job as an editor, as long as you don't try to be too friendly with him.

-That's great.

-But yeah, I have a dream, I want to be a singer, and show my love around the world, I may not be as talented like for example Taylor Shift, Adriana Big or Milly Syrup, but hey, I can try and be a good one. Good thing for me is my reputation in Pahkitew.

-That's cool, I will support whatever is your path Ella.- Leonard smiled at his girlfriend.-You know… Sometimes I wanted to be an actor, but I'm just not that good.

-What do you mean that you are not that good? You made us build that tower.

-I know, the thing is… I'm simply not fit for that, maybe I can find another path, I'm thinking in something simple for my life, like working in a book store or comic store.

-And what about making your own comic?

-Uh?-Leonard was confused by Ella's statement.

-I mean, you make your own comic about some warriors of light that have to save the world.

-Heh, you have good ideas Ella, maybe about warriors trying to save the world with magic.- He commented.

-Yeah, by the way, I won.-Ella said to her boyfriend, making them realize that they have been talking for a while, showing that Darius was Ella's only character left while Volt was Leonard's only character and then Ella made Darius give the final kick,

-KO.-The televisor said and then the screen showed how Darius grabbed a road roller while Volt was lying on the floor injured.

-ROAD ROLLER! HAHAHA! TIME TO DIE MCKENZIE!-Darius will start to punch the roadroller, trying to squash Volt with it.- USELESS! USELESS! USELESS!- The vampire shouted trying to destroy the Korean guy while Volt was trying to lift the vehicle…

Sadly it was to heavy…

-Crap!.-The Korean Spark was scared of this

-DIE MCKENZIE!-Darius stomped the road roller, crushing it with Volt's body with it.

SPECIAL FINISH.

-Stupid human… He thought that he could be as strong as I, Darius? His effort was useless. Useless, Useless, Useless.

-DARIUS BRANDO, WINS! That was what the televisor said, giving the man his victory.

-Man, you are good, I never had a chance

-Don't be so hard with yourself.-Ella patted Leonard's head and then he put his head on her lap.

-Thanks Ella, sometimes I just need someone who can tell me that I'm good.

-You're welcome Leonard.

She continued playing with his hair until he stopped her.

-Rematch.

-What?

-Rematch, you, me, now.-He commented, challenging her.

-Honey, you have a rematch.-Ella joked.

Ella and Leonard continued with their rematch, each time Leonard was going more serious with Ella, but she was keeping the rhythm with him, the next 12 times they played, Leonard won 7 and Ella only 5.

The final fight just finished with Leonard winning, his last character was a wild girl who was only wearing a damaged red skirt and a damaged red bra. She just attacked a guy with white clothes having a mask with the face of a swan. His name was the Swan Killer… But he was about to be killed.

-Wragh!-The girl screamed and then threw the guy to the floor, and with her hands started to open the guy's torso, the perspective was on a different angle so nobody could see the death of the guy or the brutality of the battle.- DIE! DIE! DIE!- The girl was laughing as a crazy psychopath.

SPECIAL FINISH.

The girl got up, almost covered in blood, looking how the man just disappeared and whatever was around her was just flesh

-What a good meal.-She was cleaning her teeth with a bone.

-QUEEN FANG, WINS! That was what the televisor said, giving the man his victory

-Ohohoho! Brutal!-Ella said, she looked with excitement the televisor even if she lost the battle.

-Holy shit, I forgot she had that Special finish.

-I need to main that girl.-The pinky and sweetie Ella said that. And then she looked at the clock.- Hey, I think I should go.

-Uh?-Leonard watched the clock, it was around 6:30 p.m.-Oh right, we should go.

-Hey Leo…-Ella kissed him in the lips.- This was a good date, we should do that more often.- The princess wannabe giggled.

-Yeah.- He smirked and then he was hugged by Ella.-Ella?

-I love you Leonard, and I want you to love yourself, so let me help me to help you to love yourself, no secrets between us, if you feel bad, please tell me, if I feel bad, I'll tell you.- The girl said something that made Leonard hug her.

-Elizabeth. Thank you.- He took her hand and then he started to walk with her.- Let's go, I'll take you to your home.

-Ok.- She smiled and kissed him again.

While they were driving, Ella just watching the night, she felt happy, this was definitely the best day of her life.
