Heading back towards her dorm room Kate made a detour to the mail room She never really got much, she had no one to write to her nor anyone to really write to but it never hurt to check and she was waiting for a package she had ordered. Sighing as she unlocked the box, she was surprised to see that she had actually got some post, the package she had ordered had finally arrived but there was also a letter from her Godmother who had been the one to encourage her to apply to ADFA and there was also a letter from Mike

Heading back upstairs Kate chucked the parcel on her desk which she made a mental note to tidy up later as it was starting to get rather cluttered with books from the library, a ton of notes and a couple of mugs that she needed to take to the kitchen and wash up. sitting on the bed she carefully ripped open the first letter. Reading the words written by her godmother she felt a tear fall down her cheek. Her god mother had found her prince and was expecting a baby in the spring and was engaged, she had included a copy of a scan picture. Smiling she wished she could be there in person to see the happiness her godmother had found but she also had to do this. She made a mental note to get some things to send to her friend.

Opening the envelope containing Mike's letter she smiled, this one hadn't gone through the post so he must have sneaked it in with the rest of the post. Pulling the letter out she smiled looking at his cursive script.

Kate,

I'll meet you at 6:30 by the clock tower

M x

Smiling she looked at her watch she only had an hour and a half before she had to meet him and she still had to find something to wear. opening her wardrobe, she began flicking through things trying to find a dress to wear. she eventually settled on a simple black dress that had a very 1950s style. It was knee length with a full skirt due to the petticoat that was built in. The bodice of the dress was cut tight and had little sleeves that came off the shoulder.

Hanging it on the front of her wardrobe she began looking under the bed for her shoes. She pulled out a pair of red court shoes with a strap across the instep. She would pair it with a red bag which she also pulled out from under the bed.

Brushing her hair in to its loose curls she tied it back with a simple red ribbon which she made look like a hairband. she had decided to keep her makeup simple; a natural foundation with a simple smoky eye shadow and she finished with a red lip

Pulling on her dress she turned looking in the mirror. She never normally wore dresses even before she had moved to Canberra so it was a surprise to see what she looked like. putting the things, she would need in to her bag she looked at her watch she had 15 minuets till she had to meet Mike and it would take 10 minuets to walk across the campus to where he had said.

Scooping up Sweep from the window sill she smiled "Come on you you're staying with auntie Nikki tonight" she said.

Opening her dorm door, she made sure the coast was clear before darting across the landing knocking on Nikkis door.

Nikki answered with a towel wrapped round her hair and a dark brown mask on her face

"Hey, I need you to have Sweep tonight" Kate smiled

"of course," Nikki smiled watching sweep plod in to her room before making herself at home on the bed. "So, where are you off to all glammed up" she smiled

"I have a date" Kate said "with Mike"

"Ooh anyone I might know?" Nikki smiled

"no" Kate lied. She hated not telling her friend the truth but she wasn't quite ready for her to know.

"You look stunning" Nikki smiled "do you want to borrow my red scarf? You can use it as a wrap if it's a bit chill later"

"Thank you" Kate smiled taking the large red scarf from her friend. "don't wait up" she said walking down the hall towards the exit.

Walking across the campus towards the clock she could already see Mike there waiting for her. He was dressed in dark jeans with a shirt and a navy jacket. Slowly walking towards him she smiled softly as he turned.

"wow" he smiled you look stunning

"thanks" she smiled "i feel a little over dressed" she said looking

"No, you look amazing" he smiled "shall we go, my cars over here" he said placing his hand in the small of her back leading her over to the small carpark

Following him to the car she smiled as he opened the door for her. Carefully climbing in she watched as he walked round the front climbing in to the driver's seat.

"Ready?" he asked smiling

"yeah" she said pulling the belt across her clicking watching as he pulled off driving towards the river and city centre
