S11-4
First date

The entire class's collective preferences were cataloged, allowing Kris and Susie to devise a recipe everyone would like, which was easy-to-make buckeye cookies. Their chosen project was a whole new snack the entire family could enjoy. Ms. Alphys greatly approved of the idea, even if she did mouth-water a bit at the suggestion.

Today was the day Kris and Susie went out on a date. "I'm not gonna lie, Kris. That's a nice outfit choice." Susie commended.

Kris was wearing a white T-shirt with a green star on it, green jeans, and his casual shoes. "Well, today's a special occasion. You?"

"I decided to throw out that old outfit I had. It reminded me of the bully I once was. I don't want it anymore."

"Wherever we go, whatever we do, it's your choice."

"I appreciate it, Kris, but I'll let you decide."

"You're the one who suggested to be my girlfriend, so you started this relationship, which means the honor should go to you."

"Heh heh... Alright. I hear there's a bowling alley nearby. It might be a bit out of town, but it's within walking distance. We should get there by 4:00, more or less."

"Sounds good."

They eventually made it to the bowling alley. Strike Zone Lanes. Epic music was playing, and there were a lot of Monsters in the building, including Noelle and Monster Kid... who had those mechanical arms?! They may be mechanical, but it looked as if they were covered in a sort of leather padding, likely to seem more natural.

MK rolled a red bowling ball down the lane, scoring a Strike! "BOO-YAH!" With that game over, MK decided to sit down next to Noelle and relax. Looks like they were on a date too.

Just then, Noelle noticed Kris and Susie, waving for them to come over. "Kris, Susie, I didn't think you two would be here!" She exclaimed.

"It was Susie's idea, and I think it was a great idea."

"I didn't know you'd be here either. How's it goin, MK?" Susie asked.

"Paid Noelle's father a visit in the hospital on Sunday, then I got my arms on Tuesday. Those techy guys work fast."

Noelle happily spoke up. "You were right about him, Susie! I'm really enjoying the time we spend together. Not only that, but he just fills me with so much confidence."

MK then turned his attention to Noelle. "Your last name is Holiday, right?"

"Yeah? Why do you ask?"

"I guess that would eventually make us... 'Happy Holidays'!" Noelle let out a giggle. "Oh, that laugh... Another thing I love about you. Add that to the list, and... it's already a long list."

"So I guess this just became a double date?" Kris questioned.

"Yeah, I guess so. Take a seat, order up, and do some bowling if you want." MK said, leaning playfully on Noelle's shoulder.

Kris and Susie looked over the menu.

"Ooh! Kris, this one's a favorite!" Kris looked where Susie was pointing. It was one of the classics. The Strike Zone Philly: Philly sirloin steak grilled with onions and bell peppers smothered with melty provolone cheese piled into a warm hoagie bun.

"That sounds good. What do you want for your side?" Kris asked.

"How about... nachos?" Fresh tortilla chips served with warm queso.

"Ooh. Let's make it a double order. Pepsi?"

"Great minds think alike." Susie commended, putting her menu down.

"Double order it is."

With the food ordered, the group enjoyed a nice conversation. "So, Susie... You've been... acting differently for about two weeks now. Did something happen?" MK wondered.

"Only Kris's mother bringing me under her personal care after seeing that old log cabin I've been living in. When I moved in, she opened my eyes, and I decided that enough was enough, so the whole bullying thing is gone forever. Noelle, after you went over to MK after I said to try your luck with him, Kris and I had a heartfelt conversation. He had his heart broken about a year ago by a girl he fell for, so I suggested to be his girlfriend. One thing lead to another and here we are." Susie explained.

"MK, you said you went to visit Noelle's dad in the hospital, right?" Kris asked.

"Yeah, I did."

"What did he say?"

"He made me promise to keep her safe, so I vowed to protect her..." MK put a mechanical hand to his chest. "...with my life."

"The fact that you'd sacrifice yourself for her says how much you truly love her."

"As epic as it may sound, it's a serious matter." MK turned to his girlfriend. "Noelle, why don't we take a stroll through a garden later this evening? There's... something I want to ask you... in private." MK was planning something special.

Kris brushed the hair out of his face, revealing eyes. Susie looked on in fascination. "Kris, your eyes..." Kris looked at her uncomfortably. "Your eyes are ocean blue."

"Is... that a problem?"

"No. Why would you think ocean blue eyes are a bad thing? Ocean blue is my favorite color!" He smiled at Susie.

The lights dimmed, with disco lights going on all over the place. "Kris, Susie, Noelle, how good are you all at dancing?" MK asked as he got out of his seat.

"Decent."

"I never tried it."

"Let's dance!"

MK took Noelle's hands and they began dancing to the pounding beat of the music, followed by Kris and Susie.

Despite having never tried dancing, Susie was a pro, feeling the rhythm as she moved. Kris studied her dance moves, then synchronized with his partner.

The two couples danced so hard that they began to sweat, with Kris and Susie tiring out first. MK and Noelle were still going! "Wow...! Look at 'em go!" Susie awed. MK was a lean, mean dancing machine, and Noelle was having a lot of fun!

The dance was coming to an end, but right as they finished, they bent down for a dip, with Noelle being held up by MK's artificial left arm. The two remained like that for a few seconds before finally sharing a kiss.

Kris and Susie were clapping in applause, cheering them on.

Now that the dance was over, the two couples had worked up an appetite, which was convenient because the food had just arrived. "Two orders of the Strike Zone Philly, a side of nachos, and a Pepsi?" The waiter asked, to which Kris and Susie raised their hands, thus receiving their meal orders. "Two orders of eight boneless wings with BBQ sauce and Orange Crush?" That belonged to MK and Noelle.

"Y'know, Kris, you could've chosen something else on the menu." Susie stated.

"Well, they got a double order, and what you chose sounded better than what I had in mind, so of course we'd make it a double order. Delicious."

"Yeah, I did pick a favorite. It tastes pretty darn awesome."

"Susie, when you have ideas, you have good ideas." Kris commended.

"What if I announce to everyone here that I love you?"

"Well, then let it be known."

Susie chuckled nervously. "Uh... On second thought, I'll wait until we get engaged."

"What kind of ring would you want me to propose to you with?"

"Can we do silver with a sapphire?"

"I'm sure my mom could give me something better to use."

"I may be new to dating, but I already have a tip for you." MK said, raising his glass of Orange Crush. Kris, Susie, and Noelle listened closely. "Keep calm, and just be yourself." MK then turned to his girlfriend. "Noelle, you don't need me around you to be confident. I believe in you." At his words, Noelle blushed and happily rested her head on his shoulder.

"I'm enjoying my time here with you, Kris. Maybe we should come here more often. What do you say?" Susie asked, putting a hand on Kris's shoulder.

"As long as I'm with you, I don't care where we go."

"Oh my god, Kris, that was cheesy!" The couple shared a round of laughter.

Here's the music playing at the bowling alley. [ /watch?v=x6yYv6y3OvU ]

Kris and Susie are together, MK and Noelle are together, and we'll be seeing more of their experiences.

Because the students are in a sort of high school in Deltarune, I assume that the average age for them is around 20, so there's your additional detail, just in case.

Susie prefers ocean blue? I've always been more of a 'default blue' sort of person.

See you next time, guys!
