Cammy nervously pulled her sweaty palms out of her pockets and tried to use them to smooth down the few small hairs she knew were out of place. She couldn't believe she was actually on her first date, and with Zack of all people. Everyone was supposed to meet outside of the theater at 7:00. It was now 7:05 and she was still the only one here. After 10 more minutes of waiting, Cammy had just begun to leave when she spotted Zack. He saw her and waved.

"Hey Cammy wait!"

She stopped in her tracks.

"Don't worry Zack, you actually are the first one here."

Zack replied slyly.

"Oh really?"

Cammy thought to herself, what was that tone of voice for?

"Yeah, why did you say it like that?"

"Cammy, I wanted to be alone with you tonight so I called everyone else and cancelled. Is that okay with you?"

"I guess so."

Great now Cammy is going to end up lying to her dad, again.

"Great! Lets go get something to eat!"

He grabbed her hand and quickly led her down the street to find a place to eat dinner. After dinner was over, they went for a walk in a nearby park so they could talk some more.

" I have had so much fun with you tonight Cammy."

"Me too."

With that said, Zack attempted to be slick and do the whole fake yawning thing in order to put his arm around her. Cammy silently laughed as he pulled the oldest trick in the book, but gave him an A for effort and allowed him to think he had outwitted her.

"Cammy, your different from all the other girls at school."

"Really? How so?"

"Well they all try so hard to be perfect, to please others but you; your just yourself."

"I guess my Dad is the one who taught me that. He always told me to be strong and confidant."

"Did he teach you to be beautiful also?"

Oh no. Cammy could feel the most intense flush coming over her. She had to look down. But then Zack laughed, a good-hearted laugh. He placed his hand on her cheek and lifted her faced to meet his. Through a huge smile Zack said,

"And she's humble too."

He met her eyes and leaned in to kiss her. Cammy didn't want to kiss him. This was their first date. Hell it was her first date ever. So she just turned her head away.

"Zack, don't. Why don't we just talk some more?"

"Why not? I really like you Cammy."

"Well I think I like you too Zack. But you're going to have to give me a little time."

"Time? Didn't we just talk for over an hour in that restaurant? Aren't you almost 16 years old? Come on."

While he said this Zack put one hand on Cammy's leg and used the other to grab her wrist.

"...Just for a little bit."

Cammy screamed,

"Get off me!"

* * * Ken Masters pushed his strawberry blonde hair out of his eyes and sighed. This place was so boring. He had moved here to put some excitement into his life but so far his plan wasn't working. Since he had moved here there had been only one tournament, which he had won with no problem. It wasn't even a challenge to win. Hell the fights he had been in while he was in high school had been more exciting. Ken laughed to himself as he remembered all the fights he had won. He had worked hard to become as strong and skillful a fighter as he was and believed there was nothing wrong with being proud of that. Just when he thought he was going to have to make his own action, Ken heard a girl's scream pierce the night air.

"Get off of me!"

YES! A damsel in distress! Not only would he get to kick some guy's ass, there is always a chance that you'll end up with the girl. Besides that fact he would enjoy pounding a guy that picked fights with girls, it just wasn't fair. He ran in the direction of the scream. Ken rounded the corner only to see a young blonde girl with braided pigtails twist out of some jerks arms and slam him face first into the ground. She then proceeded to kick him in his um...special place. while he was down. This made Ken wince.

"That's something else my Dad taught me, asshole."

With that said the girl turned around and with much more calmness then would be expected, walked away.

"Huh?"

Ken just stood there dumbfounded. He then shook his head and ran after the girl. Before he could reach her she turned around while saying,

"Don't you understand that."

Her voice trailed off when she noticed that Ken wasn't the young boy she had just crushed.

"Hi, uh, my name is Ken. I saw what happened back there, I just wanted to see if you were okay."

"Do I look okay?"

When she said this, her furious green eyes met his.

"Well yeah, but I just thought I would see if."

"If the poor little weak girl hurt herself?"

"No, I was just thinking."

"That you could be my knight in shining armor? Typical guy, always thinking women need him to 'save the day'. Obviously that jerk on the ground is really the one who needs help. Why don't you go help him and get away from me?"

Once again she turned around and walked calmly away. What an interesting girl, Ken thought to himself as he stepped over the kid lying on the ground. She's so headstrong and arrogant. She kind of reminded him of someone he knew.

Cammy was absolutely furious. Of all the nerve. She couldn't believe Zack would try something like that. She wondered if he had tried it with some of the other girls he had dated. Probably had. Guys like that don't strike only once. Cammy was going to make damn sure that this was his last time though. Cammy told herself to calm down. She couldn't let her Dad know what happened tonight, he had too much on his mind already. Then she remembered he had told her earlier that night. He had gone on missions before, but she could tell this one was different by the way her father acted, or tried not to act like when he told her. This was big and it scared her. But all that didn't matter right now, she was going to go home and spend the rest of the night talking to her dad.
