"Oh, Orion…" Zenon gasped, "you do really want me to be your girlfriend?" she asked.
"Yes, I do really want you to be my girflriend," Orion replied in a bold voice. He touched Zenon's hand and held it. "Zenon, ever since Commander Plank have appointed you to work besides me in the AP lab, I fell in love with you more and more everyday." Zenon looked at Orion's eyes. From the first day, I did love you too.., Zenon thought.
"Orion, my answer is…" Zenon hesitated.
"Yes..?" Orion asked impatiently.
"Yes." Zenon smiled and hugged Orion. Orion gave out a sigh of relief and hugged Zenon tighter. Nebula and Margie gave each other a high-five.
"We did it!" Nebula screamed, "We got Zenon a boyfriend!"
"Yup, now WE need boyfriends," Margie chuckled.
"That shouldn't be a problem, we found Zee a boyfriend, we should find each other a boyfriend," Nebula smiled back. Margie nodded to seal the deal. Zenon and Orion returned to the table, holding hands and smiling.
"Soo..I'm guessing you guys hooked up?" Nebula smiled at the new couple.
"Yep!" Orion answered proudly. Zenon squeezed Orion's hand tighter to show that she was really happy. Orion looked at Zenon and gave her a warm smile. "So, Shall I walk you back to your home?" Orion offered.
"Sure!" Zenon accepted the offer and waved good-bye to Nebula and Margie with her other hand. Nebula and Margie waved back and started talking to each other. Zenon and Orion walked down the hall, trying to think what to say. Finally, Zenon spoke.
"So, Orion, when would you like to, you know, go out?" Zenon asked.
"What about tomorrow? Maybe at Chez Orion?" Orion joked. Zenon laughed and stopped in front of her door. "What do you like?"
"It doesn't matter, just as long as you cook it," Zenon told Orion. Orion smiled and gave Zenon a hug and a kiss on her cheek. Zenon looked down to the floor and blushed.
"I'll be here tomorrow at 6:00 to pick you up," Orion told her. Zenon nodded and pressed a button that opened the door to her house. Orion watched her go inside and walked back to his house.
"There you are!" Astrid, Zenon's mother, sighed. Astrid have been looking all over for Zenon.
"Chill, Mom, what's the matter?" Zenon asked her mother, who have been pacing back and forth since Zenon arrived.
"Zenon..You didn't tell me where you were! I was afraid that you have been flying out in space like last time." Astrid replied.
"Mom..come on, I was immature at that time, " Zenon scoffed.
"It was two years ago!" Astrid countered, "I know you, Zenon, you was born to be a leader, a rebel."
"Well, Guess what, Mom? I didn't do anything bad today," Zenon gave her mother a look. Her mother sighed and sat down on the couch.
"Next time, you tell me where you are, then I won't be going crazy like this," Astrid reminded her.
"Okay, fine, Mom," Zenon sighed and walked in her room. She fell backwards on her bed and smiled at the ceiling. I can't wait till tomorrow for the first date, It'll be great! Zenon thought and closed her eyes.
