Hi minna! I would've updated sooner but I had writer's block. Thanks Tenshi no shi (check out her story, it's really good), and Moonluna for helping me with that! ^_~

"Table for ten, please." Quatre said to the waitress at the front desk.
"This way please." The waitress replied. 'Wow, this place is really fancy,' thought Minako in awe as they were led to a secluded table in the back. The whole restaurant was decorated in a late 17th century style, and was dimly lit by many fragrant candles that hung on the walls. Minako sat next to Duo and placed her napkin on her lap. An Asian waitress came over to their table and handed them menus.
"Good evening, Sirs, Madams. I'll give you a moment to choose what to order while I bring you your soup. Does anyone object to ministrone?" When no one said anything, she left the room. 'Wow! They even serve you soup before you order!" Minako was still in awe of the greatness of the place. She looked down at her menu. It was printed in Italian, with the Japanese names next to them. Minako had no experience whatsoever with Italian food. She ended up closing her eyes and pointing, and her finger landed on 'Chicken Alfredo'. 'Well, that doesn't sound so bad…' she decided, 'after all, it says it has chicken in it.' She looked over at Duo. He looked like he had chosen the same way she had.
"What are you having?" She asked him curiously.
"Um, something called 'Veal Scaloppini'?" He said, messing up the pronunciation.
"Well, I hope you like it…" Minako said, glad that she had chosen something that sounded a bit more appetizing. The waitress returned with their soup then, and handed a bowl to everyone. Duo started eating his as soon as it appeared in front of him, but Minako put an ice cube in it and waited for it to cool down. Everyone now had a bowl of soup in front of him or her, except Wufei. The waitress began to hand him his soup, and tripped over Heero's foot. Wufei's nice white Chinese suit now had minisrone soup splattered all over it. The waitress blushed, then started muttering apologies. Wufei, however, didn't seem to notice.
"Clumsy onna! Look what you've done to my suit! It's ruined!" He stood up and yelled at the waitress. Minako could see that that comment had made Rei angry.
"Wufei! It wasn't her fault! Nobody's perfect, you know. Oh, I guess you wouldn't know that though, would you?" Rei's eyes flashed, "Hm, Mr. I'm so much better than her because I'm a man?"
"Don't talk about what you don't know, onna!" Wufei turned on Rei, "It's not my fault that men just happen to be stronger than women!" Rei retaliated that with an 'Is that so?' eyes flashing dangerously. The fight went on for awhile, and something that Wufei said made Duo start laughing. Unfortunately, it was when his mouth was full, so he started to choke. Minako, noticing that her crush had turned a pale shade of blue, started to pound him on the back. When he finally coughed up the bit of food, it came flying out of his mouth and landed in Quatre's soup. The soup splashed up at the horrified boy, staining his priceless pink linen jacket. Quatre stared at Duo, a look of revulsion on his face. Trowa, looking around at his surroundings looked at Heero and said,
"Now that wasn't necessary was it?" Leaving Heero to be ashamed that his foot had stuck out from under the table in the first place.

The dinner went on without interruption, although the manager came out to apologize. When they left the restaurant they broke off into couples and went separate ways, Rei and Wufei yelling at each other as they left the group. Duo and Minako left for the mall. 'He's so cute!' She thought as he led her up the steps of the 'Niji Yume Mall'. He glanced her way, "What do you want to do? We could see a movie…"
"That sounds good. What do you want to see?"
"Well, there's a lot of good movies out. How 'bout you pick one out?" He said as they came up to the movie counter.
"Um…" She scanned the movie list. 'I've seen that one… I don't like Julia Roberts… um…'. Then she found one that looked good. "How about "Atlantis"? It's supposed to be pretty good, and the other movies don't look that good…" She pleaded.
"Okay." He replied and paid the man in the ticket booth. 'This is my lucky day!' Minako thought as she stood in the snack counter line, 'he's so cute, and I'm gonna see a good movie with him! I wonder what he's thinking?' She paid for their popcorn and drinks and led the way into the theater. They sat in the back of the theater and watched the credits. The movie started and she reached over to grab some popcorn. Her hand bumped into Duo's and she blushed. "Sorry," he muttered, and she could tell that he was blushing too. She settled back to watch the movie. About half way through Duo stretched and put his arm around her shoulder. They both tensed, and then Minako relaxed. The movie ended shortly after and Duo offered to walk Minako home.
"Sure," she replied, and the two walked towards her house in companionable silence. They walked up to her door and looked at each other. 'Is he gonna kiss me?' Minako wondered hopefully. Duo seemed to contemplating the same thing. They both blushed and looked away from each other. After a minute or two Minako couldn't stand it anymore. "Thanks," she said quietly. She stood up on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek. She turned to open the door. Suddenly he grasped her wrist and pulled her back. She looked at him hopefully and he smiled. He leaned down and kissed her hastily on the mouth and let her go. They looked at each other and smiled. She went inside and leaned against the door. 'He did it, he kissed me!' she thought excitedly. She smiled, 'I can't wait to tell the scouts about this!' she mused excitedly as she went upstairs to find them. And was stopped momentarily as a loud whoop of joy came from down the street.
Well sorry that it's short. The next chapter will be in Duo's point of veiw. Please r/r!
