"Okay," said Futch to himself, quietly walking along. "Maybe Siegfried will find Bonaparte first. Yeah! I won't have to go on a date then."
As it could be seen, Futch wasn't too keen on the idea of going on a date with Millie, let alone having to take such good care of Bonaparte in her absence. "Just gotta hope Siegfried can find Bonaparte first…"
Suddenly a commotion arose from the entrance to the castle, and suddenly Siegfried was literally thrown from inside the castle.
"Unicorns are not allowed in the castle!" yelled Viktor angrily, then turned and said "Hey Futch! I haven't seen you look that down in ages… or more like three years ago when Black died… oh jeez! I'm sorry to mention him. It just kinda slipped…? Are you even listening?"
Futch had a dazed look on his face. 'No unicorns in the castle… but Siegfried won't find Bonaparte… or I could give Bonaparte to Siegfried! No… that wouldn't be very respectful. After all, I did promise Millie I would find Bonaparte so she wouldn't go on a date with Siegfried… but now I'll have to go on a date with Millie… WAIT! Bonaparte could be outside… but then I would have to look outside too because I promised her I would find Bonaparte…' Futch sat there, thoughts weaving in and out of his head.
"Futch? Are you feeling okay? Yo, Futch!? WAKE UP FUTCH!" Roared Viktor. Futch, as if waking from a dream, suddenly jolted, stared straight at Viktor and said:
"Where is Bonaparte?"
Viktor was quiet for a moment, then said "Ohhhhh… I get it! You're going out with Millie and your helping her!"
"N-N-No, I… uh… am just doing her a favor. Yeah, a favor."
"Well, anyway," said Viktor casually. "Here's your little friend." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the unmistakable little Bonaparte and dumped him into Futch's open hand. Futch, shocked, almost dropped him. "He's been following me all day. So, Futch, just thank me and go visit your girlfriend."
"Thank y… she isn't my girlfriend. I'm just doing her a favor. F-A-V-O-R! Just a favor!"
"Yeah right." Said Siegfried, a little annoyed. "You, my friend, have found Bonaparte, so you're gonna have to take care of the little creature, and then, you'll go on a date with the very lovely and very cool Millie."
"I knew something was going on between you two!" laughed Viktor.
"Darn it! I don't like her! She's just some crazy girl that I don't even know!"
"Jeez…" said Viktor, looking a little worried. "You don't have to get so angry…"
"That is definitely not something nice to say about your girlfriend." Said Siegfried, looking over at Futch. "I'll take the Bonaparte-thing if you don't like her that much…"
"I… no. No… I'll just go out with her. One date doesn't matter that much… does it?"
"So you do have a soft spot for her, eh?" Said Viktor, grinning again.
"Well, yes… er, no… I mean I'm just doing this so she won't have to go out with stupid over there."
"Oh… so you're just helping her out, right?" said Viktor, grinning even wider. "Yup, we all know you're just helping her. Yes, just helping… SO YOU CAN GO ON A DATE!! Am I right, or am I right?"
"I EXPLAINED THIS ALREADY! I'M JUST GOING OUT WITH HER BECAUSE…"
"Why?" asked Millie walking over, looking at Futch, a rather curious look on her face.
"I-I-I-I-I am going o-out with you b-b-because, you are a… uhhh…"
"Go on, go on." Said Millie patiently.
"Ummm… I'm going out with you 'cause… HEY LOOK! I FOUND BONAPARTE!" Exclaimed Futch loudly. After all, Futch didn't want to dig himself into an even deeper mess.
"Bonaparte!!" exclaimed Millie excitedly snatching Bonaparte and hugging the poor little thing to death. "Where were you, huh Bonaparte? You really shouldn't run off like that. I was worried sick! I thought that big mean wolf Shiro might have eaten you!" Millie then turned to Futch. "Okay, then, Futch. I'll see you tonight, on the terrace at Hai Yo's. Is that a good time?"
"No, I mean yes, but… um… do we have to go out on a date?"
"Well, yeah… you mean you don't like me?" Said Millie, looking a little upset.
"Ye… no! I mean, it's not like I don't like you or anything, but, I, uh, think we should get to know each other better."
"Well," said Millie, "What's wrong with getting to know each other over a nice meal outside, in the nice night air…" her eyes start to sparkle. "With the castle band performing a romantic song under the stars, while the candles shine brightly on the table, and the full moon shines down upon us two…" Millie's arms, which had been slowly rising fell limp at her sides. "But if you don't want all of that, I'll just go tell everyone you're a jerk."
"Jeez, I'll go with you…"
"Okay then." Said Millie shortly. "See you!" She leaned over and kissed Futch on the cheek. As soon as she was gone, though, Futch fell over onto the grass, feeling rather light, a feeling he only felt when he was flying.
"You really got it goin' on, doncha?" laughed Viktor. "Well, good luck tonight!"
As Viktor left, Futch thought to himself "This might not go too bad."
