Thanks to WolveHulk for the inspiration.

Saturday rolled around soon enough and Ryuko's date with Lady Satsuki was soon upon her. Mako kept trying to get her to go dress shopping, but she refused to go. "But WHYYYYYY?" Mako pleaded.
"Don't take this the wrong way, but it's only a date. Besides, I'm not even 100% sure she'll show up." Ryuko said.
"You went on the date with me! Why not go on one with her?"
"I said I would, and if she shows, I'll go. If not, oh well."
Sukuyo brought out one of her old dresses that she thought would fit Ryuko. "Here, wear this." Sukuyo stated. "If you're going out with someone like her, you should probably dress your best."
Ryuko accepted the offer and went to put it on. The dress was a strapless sky blue with a Navy blue belt. She came back out, the time now close to when Satsuki said she'd pick her up. "OHMIGOD, Ryuko you look amazing!" Mako blurted out.
"You think so?" Ryuko asked, with a smile forming. "I didn't even dress this nice for our date."
"Yeah, but this is Lady Satsuki we're talking about here. If you make it with her, you're good for life!"
"Love isn't all about money, y'now."
Sukuyo chuckled at the comment. "Love, eh?"
Ryuko stopped herself as she realized what she was saying about Satsuki, and she could feel her face turning red as a tomato. "Umm, I didn't... mean it like...that. You know what I meant."
...
At 17:55 (5:55 pm), Ryuko looked out the window to see a Bentley Mulsanne Speed edition pulling into the driveway. She figured Satsuki would likely be inside the $300,000+ car, and it was no surprise when she saw Satsuki stepping out of the back of the car. She was wearing a cream colored one shoulder dress with small gold frills on the front. "Holy shit, she went all out for me." Ryuko said quietly.
"Now you two go have a good time!" Mako cheered.
"Good luck, hon. That dress got me where I am today." Sukuyo said.
"I remember the first time you wore that." Barazo said. "Have fun tonight."
"And bring back pictures." Mataro said, which got him a knock on the head from his mom.
"Now you cut that out, they're going out for a nice date together." She told him.
...
Ryuko walked out to greet Satsuki, who looked on with a contented look in her eyes. "My god, Ryuko. You're gorgeous." Satsuki told her.
"You really did pull out all the stops for this date."
"I don't care if we only have the one date, I want it to be special. Would you mind if I hugged you?"
Ryuko was genuinely pleased with Satsuki's demeanor so far. "I... guess it couldn't hurt."
Satsuki pulled Ryuko in close for a warm, loving hug, which she returned. They took their seats in the back of the car and they departed for their date. On the ride, Ryuko kept thinking to herself. "Is this really happening? Why would somebody like her go to these lengths? I'm not even sure her little story is true. But whatever, I'll date her for at least tonight." She noticed Satsuki looking over at her. "Something on your mind?" She asked out loud.
"Forgive me if this sounds too forward, but would you mind if I held your hand on the ride over?" Satsuki asked with a smile.
"You can hold my hand." Ryuko started. "You don't have to ask about every little thing, you know."
"I understand." Satsuki said, now holding Ryuko's hand. "But I want to be respectful."
"Yeah, yeah. You were raised proper, I know. But I guess it's refreshing to have someone like you wanting to date me. Most people are either too scared to ask me out or just not my type."
"Which one am I?"
"Neither one I guess. You are my type, I mean, you don't bow to anyone. Neither do I. That and you weren't afraid to ask me out."
...
The first stop of the night was at a local restaurant for dinner. They were seated in a corner with a nice view of the city. Ryuko felt kind of uneasy about ordering, even though one of the conditions was they go where she wanted, she didn't want to try and order anything too pricey. Her curiosity was soon answered. "You can order anything you want. And don't worry about it being too expensive, it isn't like I can't afford it." Satsuki stated.
"Are you sure?"
"That was one of the things we agreed on. We go where you want, which includes the menu and anything on it."
They placed their orders when the waiter came back over to them. It didn't take long, as the kitchen wasn't terribly busy. They ate light meals, so as to keep from feeling too full. After eating, Satsuki took Ryuko's hands. "What's up?" Ryuko asked.
"Would you like to dance with me?" Satsuki inquired.
"I don't dance. Mostly for not really knowing how to dance, because it's something I never thought I'd really need to know."
"I can show you. Just follow my lead."
Satsuki took Ryuko over to the dance floor and pulled her up close to begin a slow dance. Ryuko followed her steps as they danced together. With how close they were, Ryuko really started to notice the perfume Satsuki was wearing. She was almost entranced by the feeling of being so close and the gentle scent emanating from her dance partner.
...
After dinner and dancing, Ryuko said she'd like to take in a movie. They headed over to the theater to see what was playing. She picked one out that she thought they'd both enjoy, and Satsuki took them over to the concession stand. Ryuko looked all around and saw everyone else dressed in formal attire like regular slacks, blue jeans, button up shirts, t-shirts and tank tops. "I just noticed something. It seems like we're awfully overdressed for this place."
"No matter. We're on a date, and we dressed how we wanted to."
They got their drinks and popcorn and headed into the theater. While they were in their seats, about halfway throught the movie, Satsuki slowly put her arm around Ryuko, of which she took notice and gently leaned against her date. Satsuki could feel like she was making progress with Ryuko, which brought another smile to her face.
...
After the movie was over, they took their leave in the Bentley. On the way, Satsuki made a request. "Would you mind if we went to one place I pick?"
"You're the other half of our date, so I guess there's nothing wrong with that."
Satsuki signaled the driver and they started heading to a new place. They soon arrived near a beach. They walked down to the beach and took off their shoes before walking down to the water's edge. Once there, they looked out over the calm water, the reflection of the moon clear as crystal. Satsuki stood behind Ryuko and hugged her from behind as she rested her head on her shoulder. "This is a nice place. I can see why you wanted to come here." Ryuko said in a sweet tone.
"I figured, even if we don't work out, I'd like to show you a place very near and dear to me, that way I can always come back here to remember our night together." Satsuki whispered in her ear.
Ryuko started feeling something strange. It was almost like she could start feeling things for Satsuki. But before too long, they departed for the Mankanshoku household.
...
The ladies got out of the Bentley and went inside. Ryuko seated them on the couch and they sat quietly for a moment until Satsuki broke the silence. "So, how were things? And remember to be perfectly honest. Either way, I'll respect your decision."
"Honesty is no problem for me. I have to say, everything was beyond what I could have hoped for. Dinner was great, including our little dance. I enjoyed seeing the movie with you, and then seeeing your special place on the beach, that made me feel like I was really special to you."
"Indeed you are. Worth more than my car's weight in gold to me."
"Well, you held up your end and we did everything I wanted, and in keeping with my side of things, I'll tell the truth. I did like everything. So, you can consider us a... couple."
Satsuki now filled with joy pulled her now girlfriend in for a hug. "Can we do one more little thing tonight before I go?"
"What's that?"
Satsuki closed her eyes and lightly kissed Ryuko on the lips, which left her with a blush forming. "See you later, sweetie."

I'm really liking writing this one. Stay tuned for more.
