Ah! My Goddess- The Definition of Perfection (Chapter 4: Perfect Night)

It was nearing seven, and Keiichi was pacing. He was in black dress pants with a blue buttoned up shirt and collar with a black suit jacket on him. In his left pocket of his pants was the little velvet box that housed the ring. The ring he worked to buy for almost 3 weeks, and he was scared having it now. He had no excuse not to make his move. He loved her, no doubt in his heart or mind. Belldandy was his love, his soul mate, and she was the part of him that makes him whole. Without her he is an empty shell. They had passed the Gate of Judgement, and had been the first couple ever to stay intact. And everyday for the past four years that Keiichi had been with Belldandy he had never felt anything but pure joy when he was with her, even with the shadow of a recall notice. Her presence was a drug to him. But proposing to her, Keiichi had always been shy, now he was saying to the girl of his dreams "Will you marry me?" Keiichi was scared. What would happen? All logical sense said she's accept, but that meant little at the moment.
Belldandy was in the bathroom also preparing for dinner, although not nearly as nervous. She simply wanted to look nice for Keiichi. She was in a simple one-piece black dress mostly back less with spaghetti straps. Over it she wore a light black sweater. Simple and elegant like most of Belldandy's outfits. Her hair in her traditional ponytail tied behind her. She wore her usual jewelry. Her two simple gold rings on her middle fingers. The ring Keiichi gave her on her right ring finger. Her earrings hung on her ears, her seal on her left ear, and her gold necklace around her neck. She didn't use makeup however, although by looking at her it seemed ludicrous to believe that.
Keiichi was pacing trying to gather back his courage, waiting for Belldandy. She finally slid open the bathroom door.
"You look amazing Bell," Keiichi said with his words as well as his heart and eyes.
Belldandy blushed a bit at the compliment. "Thank you Keiichi. Shall we go?" Belldandy asked.
---
"Urd are you sure we should be doing this?" Skuld asked across the table from her big sister. "I thought you said we weren't supposed to interfere!" Skuld was questioning her older sister, more because of the trouble she knew this would cause rather than the words Urd spoke earlier.
"Oh I meant interfere in a bad way," Urd replied with a grin, eyes never leaving the door. She distinctly heard Keiichi make reservations for seven. In her hand was a small potion bottle.
"You don't consider that a bad way?" Skuld asked dryly pointing at the bottle. "And Urd don't you remember what happened last time?" Skuld asked.
"But I came prepared this time!" Her elder sister replied enthusiastically, holding the antidote in her dark hand.
"What happens if it goes in the wrong drink?" Skuld pressed.
Urd was getting annoyed at her sister's nagging. Sure she had caused a few incidents she thought to herself. But in her mind they were never that big of a deal. The problem was no one else exactly shared her opinion about how big of a deal these instances were. Just then Keiichi and Belldandy walked in. "Shush they are here!"
Skuld sighed deeply and ended her attempts. She accepted she had no chance. She would simply go along as always.
---
Keiichi walked to the front. "Hi I have reservations for two people, 70. The name is Morisato."
"Inside or outside tonight sir?"
Keiichi paused. The starlight would make the scene much more romantic he thought. And it was warm out, not too cold. "Outside please," Keiichi replied.
The register worker noted the choices and waved to a waiter.
"Right this way sir," the waiter said taking two menus and leading the couple to a table outside.
---
"Damn we have to move." Urd cursed.
"It's already going the wrong way." Skuld muttered to herself.
---
Keiichi pulled out Belldandy's chair, and she slid in. He walked to the other side of the table and slid into his own seat. The waiter handed them their menus and a wine list.
"I'll be back shortly to take your orders and drinks for you," the waiter said politely, slipping away.
The couple took their menus and opened them up. Keiichi nervously looked at the choices feeling odd as if he was being watched.
---
Meanwhile Urd and Skuld had asked they be moved outside because they were feeling to hot inside. They relocated to a table outside where they could see Keiichi and Belldandy from behind some plants.
---
"Are you ready to order?" the waiter asked.
Keiichi looked back at his menu hastily, "Uhh yeah I'll have the drunken broiled lobster with rice?"
"A good choice sir. And for the lady?"
"Hmmm." Belldandy said to herself. She looked over the dishes. "I'll have the grilled eel," she decided.
"And drinks?"
"Darjeerling if you would," Keiichi ordered almost instinctively knowing Belldandy's favorite tea. The waiter took their menus and wine list, bowed, and slipped away again.
---
"I'm going to the bathroom," Urd said getting up.
"You are going to try slip that potion in their drinks," Skuld corrected. "You forgot they'll share their tea. You don't want them both under the spell do you?"
"I'll find a way," Urd said nervously as she left.
She walked to the bathroom looking at the restaurant and possibilities. She saw a chef reaching into the lobster tank and taking one out. [Didn't Keiichi order lobster that was sake soaked? Excellent.] She said to herself. She slowly slipped near the kitchen and made a little disturbance with the cooking staff's bladder systems causing them all to go running out. Urd slipped in and poured the potion in the sake bucket where a lobster was drunkenly drowning. She slipped out and went back to her table.
---
The staff's problems were remedied and they returned the kitchen. Just then Belldandy and Keiichi's waiter came in. "Another drunken lobster." He called.
The chef took another sake bucket and dumped another one in for Keiichi.
---
"So what did Tamiya need?" Belldandy asked Keiichi.
"Oh setting up some stuff for when summer is over. Another new member rally is in the works," Keiichi lied. He hated spewing these false words to Belldandy, but he wanted this night to be special and a surprise for her.
"Let's hope they don't scare away the interested people again," Belldandy said. They had a good chuckle. They talked for a while until there was a big commotion inside. It seemed some man had began to make sexual advances on all the females of the restaurant.
"Come on gimme a little love!" The crazed man wailed grabbing a waitress' arm. And pulling in and kissing her roughly before she shoved him away and ran.
---
"What the hell is up with that idiot?" Skuld said watching the fiasco.
"Huh?" Urd asked.
"Look to your left," Skuld said. Urd turned her head and saw the man trying to pick up a lady seated at a table with her husband. Then she looked at the empty table and saw a lobster.
[Oh shit!] Urd thought to herself. The drugged man was now chasing everything female that walked by. Urd stood up and said she was going to the bathroom for real this time. She walked in a purposely crossed paths with the hormonal drugged man. She tossed a wink his way. His mouth hung low as he followed the Goddess to the back. Urd slipped the antidote from her pocket broke the top and let the liquid fill her mouth. She turned around abruptly and kissed the man, dumping the liquid to his mouth. He immediately passed out. [Now what do I do, I didn't think I'd need another potion. Maybe a spell.]
---
The waiter had arrived at Keiichi and Belldandy's table and set down their dishes and tea. They began eating in between their conversation.
---
Urd was looking down on them from the roof. She took out a small bag with blue dust. She took some and began chanting and dropped the now sparkling dust. But things went astray yet again, and the breeze blew the dust to the next table. The man seated opposite his girlfriend immediately stood up and walked over to his girlfriend and kissed her deeply. The woman's eyes had a look of shock as her boyfriend began doing more than kissing.
[Not my day.] Urd thought. She took out some pink dust and dropped it on the man who immediately stopped and looked embarrassed at his girlfriend. He removed his hands from her chest, she was still stunned from the rather displays of affection her partner had just shown in public.
---
Skuld sighed as she saw her big sister return. "I think we should stop while we aren't ahead," she said flatly. "Belldandy would not want this anyway, don't you think its better if Keiichi is himself during this?"
"But that's not as passionate or romantic as what would happen if Keiichi took her in a deep passionate kiss and began to..." Urd began.
"He's trying to propose not trying to bed her!" Skuld yelled bit too loud.
---
"Did I just hear Skuld's voice?" Belldandy asked looking up from his plate and scanning the area.
"Hm?" Keiichi said looking up. "I didn't hear it," he replied.
---
"Oops..." Skuld said as she sank into her seat.
Urd issued a low growl.
