"You mean to tell me you got Washu to agree to go out on a date with you?"
Ryoko was questioning Michael over and over again. She always thought
Washu would put her work over her personal life.
"That's right."
"So where are you two going again?"
"Some seafood place in Tokyo. How many times are you going to ask me these questions?"
"Ryoko, leave him alone. Now."
Ryoko turned to give some smart-ass reply but ended up with a shock. Washu was in her adult form with her hair completely down wearing a black dress. Washu actually looked normal for once.
Michael just stood there staring at her with his mouth wide open.
"What the hell is that, Washu?"
Washu smiled at Ryoko. "What's wrong, Dear Daughter? Jealous?"
"Oh, extremely. Just what I've always wanted. To dress up so I can be bored out of my mind going out with some guy I just met." She said as she rolled her eyes.
"Well, if you have no more questions, it's 7:30."
"Whatever."
Michael listened to the whole exchange hoping there wouldn't be a fight. When she finally got Ryoko to shut up and quit with the questions, he smiled and held out his hand. "Shall we go?"
"Let's." Washu said with a smile as she took his hand.
Ryoko watched them leave and called out after them "You two behave and be back by 10. And don't do anything I probably would do! Don't make me wait up for you!" She shut the door and grinned. "Oh Scar.Where are you?"
Michael had to borrow a car for the night. He opened the door for Washu and she nodded her thanks.
"I thought we would have a little fun before we went to dinner. How does skating sound?"
"Sounds great, actually. I haven't been skating in a long time."

"This is so much fun!" Washu said, laughing as they skated around the ring.
Michael put his arm around her waist, pulling her out of the way of a guy who was being reckless. "I'm glad to hear you've forgotten about your work long enough to have fun. I just hope that guy doesn't ruin it by causing trouble or getting someone hurt."
A little while later, Michael checked his watch. "It's almost 9. Are reservations are for 9:30. Are you ready to go?"
"Hai. I am. Let's go."
The guy from earlier came around again and knocked Washu over when she was trying to leave the ring to take her skates off.
Michael helped her up and was about to go after the guy when Washu put her hand on his arm. "No need for violence. Watch."
He watched, a bit curious to see what she had in mind. Her computer came up faintly and she grinned as she typed in a short command. All the sudden, there was a pair of black skates rolling around without anyone using them.
"What happened?"
"Just watch."
One of the skates fell over and out came a little duck. Michael stared at it a second then started laughing. "How long will the guy stay like that?"
"A couple of hours and he then his normal molecular structure will return. He's lucky. I could have made him stay like that forever. Now he will only get the scare of his life. Now, we don't want to be late. We had better hurry."
"Yeah, lets get out of here before people figure out what happened to that guy and who did it."

"So far this place is living up to everything I've heard it to be." Washu was sitting across from Michael, looking around the restaurant.
"Yes. It is a nice place." Replied Michael, watching her through his sunglasses.
She looked back to him and smiled. "It's a shame most people would freak out about your eyes. I find them quite interesting."
He nodded, taking it as a compliment. The waiter walked up and asked the usual "What would you like to drink?" as he placed the menus before them.
"Water will be fine. And you, Washu?"
"Same here, please."
"I will be back in a few minutes to take your orders."
He left the table and Michael was paying much more attention to Washu than to the menu while Washu was trying to keep her attention on the menu.
"Washu?"
"Yes?" She put the menu down and looked at him.
"I know I haven't known you long and I know that you have already been through a lot, but.Washu, I love you."
Washu just sat there in shock for a minute and was thinking of what to say when the waiter came back. Washu looked up at him and said, "I'll start with a seafood salad, please."
"Of course. And you, Monsieur?"
"Huh?" Michael was hurt. He tells her he loves her and she orders a salad. But what more can he expect right now? Maybe time will help. "I'll have the same."

"Well, I guess this is goodnight, Miss Washu."
They were standing just outside the house.
"Michael, I'm sorry about earlier. It's just that.well." She didn't know what else to say so she kissed him.
When she went inside to her lab, he waited a few minutes before going to the room he was staying in. 'Now I know I can't give up on her yet."
"That's right."
"So where are you two going again?"
"Some seafood place in Tokyo. How many times are you going to ask me these questions?"
"Ryoko, leave him alone. Now."
