CHAPTER 3 THE DATE
Promptly at seven the next night Amy's doorbell rang. Amy and Serena did one last cross check. Finding nothing out of place, they went to the door. Opening it both pairs could only stare, stunned at the others appearance. The boys were the first to snap out of their trances. Offering there arms, they escorted the girls to the limo waiting for them. (/she looks beautiful. she's grown up since I last saw her./Taiki thought as they walked) Amy was wearing a pale blue dress that had a strap around the neck and was backless. (/He looks s sophisticated, so mature. I hope that I don't act stupid Amy thought) sneaking in a look at Taiki, before looking back at Serena and Seiya.
They weren't talking either just looking everywhere. (This is so weird. It should feel wrong, but it feels right) Serena fretted over this fast while Seiya stared off into space. (She looks lovely, white is really her color). The boys helped the girls into the limo and they took off for the restaurant. Amy and Serena talked telepathically during the ride as did Taiki and Seiya. Upon arriving at the restaurant reporters surrounded the limo, Taiki and Seiya took care of them. The restaurant was a quiet French place with linen table cloths and crystal glasses.
As the waiter showed them to their table; Amy sand Serena looked around in awe. As soon as they were seated Seiya and Taiki opened their menus. Amy and Serena looked at each other with uncertainty. Looking up Taiki and Seiya caught the look between them. Smiling they leaned over to help their dates. Once the food was ordered, Amy and Serena excused themselves. In the bathroom they checked their appearances. Turning to Amy, Serena finally voiced her concerns. "Do you think it was right t go on this date? What about Darien? I don' think I should have worn this dress. It's too clingy and shows too much skin and ............... " Serena was cut off as Amy put her hand over Serena's mouth. Amy smiled at her calmly and told her "Yes, it was right you need to see what your feelings for Seiya are. Darien will be fine. The dress is great. White is your color and a strapless dress doesn't show that much skin ok?
Serena nodded. Checking their appearance one last time, they returned to the table. Their food had already arrived so they sat down to eat. Amy and Serena were pleasantly surprised at how good the French food had tasted. After dinner they went out on the dance floor. Being an uptown restaurant it was all show music. Wrapping their arms around each other the two couples rejoiced wit the music. "Taiki you said we would be talking it all out." All what?" Amy gasped at him confused. Taiki only smiled gently and shook his head. Leaning down he brushed their lips together. Pulling back slightly, he whispered "not tonight" Tomorrow is soon enough." Amy wordlessly nodded hoer head in agreement. The hours slipped by in a blur.
The door banged open. Two couples entered intertwined and clinging desperately to each other. One couple went off in one direction, while the other went in another door. Slamming the door shut and locking it, the couple separated for a little. "Taiki we shouldn't do this now." Amy whispered trying to put everything into a logical order. "Just tonight, just think of tonight, of now. Tomorrow will come soon enough he whispered walking to her and wrapping her in his arms.
