Chapter 12: Dinner date
Sorry for the lack of updates, Come to find out that Windows XP doesn't use Microsoft word like windows 98 does. Plus my laptop modem went out, but I got a way to transfer my stories on a floppy.
So please enjoy and if this fic is not when you guys were expecting, sorry, but I can only come up with some things at a time.
Enjoy!
Food Court*
Van and Fiona have made it upstairs to the food court with a silent follower. Once they pick a table, Van pulls out Fiona's chair and he takes a seat himself.
"So what are you in the mood for?" Van asks picking up his menu.
"Something cheesy." Fiona says picking up her menu and overlooking it.
"Something salty and cheesy for me." Van says over looking his menu as well.
Thomas has gotten a table behind them and is watching as they sit and talk.
"I have to some how get those two apart." Thomas says to himself as he looks over his menu and over at them.
"So what kind of Limousine are we taking?" Fiona asks putting her menu down.
"Well I don't know. Which do you want? A white or black?" Van asks still looking at his.
"Well I would say the black. White is for weddings." Fiona says hearing Van laugh from behind the menu.
"Ok black it is." Van says now putting his menu down. "And I agree."
Thomas looks over at the waiters moving about the restaurant and gets an idea and he smiles to himself.
Downstairs*
"EEWW No. Me put on these shoes, you must be crazy." Moonbay states picking up the shoes from the rack in a gross manner.
"I don't know, the heels can be a change for you." Irvine says looking at the shoes.
"Whatever I'm still not doing it." Moonbay says looking at the rack of shoes.
"If I have to put a brush to my hair, then you have to change your image for one night." Irvine taunts, making Moonbay twinge a bit.
"Ok you win." Moonbay mumble. "But just for one night."
"That's all I ask. Now how about after this we go upstairs to get something to eat." Irvine says taking the shoes from Moonbay and to the counter to pay for them.
"Sure." Moonbay says trying to take her mind off the shoes.
After Irvine pays for the shoes, he and Moonbay head up to the food court to have dinner.
"I don't know how I let you talk me into this." Moonbay whines.
"I just want to see you in a different light." Irvine says grinning. "If they ask for pictures, we won't take any."
"Thank you." Moonbay says as Irvine laughs. "And besides you have been to my house before I wake up. Isn't that light enough?"
"Funny. Now what are you in the mood for?" Irvine asks picking up his menu.
"Anything to take my mind off those shoes." Moonbay says looking in her menu as well. Unnoticed to them, Fiona and Van are right behind them, at table 3.
Thomas, who managed to get past the cashier, goes straight to the back where the uniforms are kept. He takes one off the hook and looks at it in disgust.
"How can they work in these and have a conscience too?" Thomas asks looking around for another one, but can't find different. Without much more argument, he puts on the uniform.
"Now to put my plan into action." Thomas states coming from the back and to the front, where he spots a tray full of drinks and takes it, covering up his face enough not to get spotted.
"Ok I'm ready to order." Van says looking around for the waiter. He spots the one with the tray full of drinks.
"Hey Waiter." Van calls trying to get the waiter's attention. Thomas can hear Van calling out to him and tries his best not to turn around.
"I can't turn around." Thomas mumbles to himself. Another waiter comes in Thomas's direction.
"Take those drinks to table 5." The other waiter says pointing in that direction.
"Um ok." Thomas stammers as he makes his way to table 5. "I can't let Fligheit see me."
"Well that was rude." Fiona says noticing how rude the waiter was, not responding to Van's call.
"Yeah it was. Well I guess another one will pass by and I'll catch that one." Van says turning back to Fiona. "What are you going to have?"
"The colossal hamburger sounds good." Fiona says looking back at her selection.
"I'll have the steak." Van states. While they are talking, a waiter approaches Van and Fiona's table without their knowledge.
"Are you ready to order?" a voice says to them, breaking their conversation. Van and Fiona look up to see a waiter standing there.
"Um yes, I would like the colossal burger." Fiona says as the waiter writes it down.
"And for you sir?" The waiter asks turning to Van.
"I'll have the special, the steak covered in a whole lot of A1 sauce. ^_^" Van says as the waiter writes it down.
"And what would your drinks be?" The waiter asks looking at Fiona and Van.
"I would like to have a sprite. Not too much ice." Van says turning to Fiona.
"And for you miss?" The waiter asks looking at Fiona.
"The same." Fiona says turning to Van.
"Very good. Your meals should be ready in five minutes." The waiter says writing down the drinks and walking off, but not before taking their menus.
"Thanks for dinner Van." Fiona says putting her purse on the table.
"Hey it's no problem. I had to pay you back after what you did for me in your father's shop." Van says noticing Fiona's smile.
"It was nothing. When I first got to your school, you were such a gentleman to me so I had to do something to show you how much I appreciated it." Fiona says.
"I knew my mom did something right with me." Van says grinning while leaning forward on the table.
"I can just imagine what the night of the dance is going to be like." Fiona says letting her mind wander off.
"Oh it's going to be one you will never forget. Even after we graduate high school." Van says, trying to get an image himself of the dance. "We'll take pictures if you like."
"I want to be at least 10 minutes to 30 minutes late." Fiona requests.
"Why so late?" Van asks.
"We don't want to be the first two people there." Fiona says.
"Well it would be awful ridiculous for us to show up early." Van says leaning back a bit in his chair. "I agree."
Thomas, who's across the room, is writing down everything Van and Fiona are saying.
"I have one big surprise waiting for you that night Fligheit." Thomas mumbles to himself.
"Hey Buddy I'm ready to order." Someone from behind Thomas yells. Thomas turns that direction.
"I'm on break." Thomas says to him.
"But you're wearing the uniform." The guy states.
"I'm on break." Thomas says sternly, keeping the note pad to his face. "You said too much already Fligheit. You gave me just enough."
"Hey waiter." Another guy yells stopping Thomas's thought. Thomas turns to the guy and sighs.
"Maybe I should have gave this more thought." Thomas mumbles to himself.
Table 3*
Van and Fiona's dinner finally arrive to their table, along with their drinks.
"Will there be anything else?" The waiter asks them both.
"No this will be ok for now." Van says looking down at his plate. The waiter walks off.
"Everything looks so delicious." Fiona says looking down at her plate. "I hope this won't cost you too much."
"Oh no and if it does, it was well worth it." Van says picking up his eating utensils.
"Well ok, but if you want me to pay you back, just let me know." Fiona says taking a knife and cutting into the three-layer hamburger.
"No need for that. I don't need repayment. It's just paper Fiona and besides, if the original dollar didn't have a dead president on it and a number, it would be just like this paper towel here." Van says lifting up the paper towel, making Fiona laugh.
"You're so right van." Fiona says now taking a bite into her food. "This is so good."
Table 1*
Irvine and Moonbay are still talking.
"I can't wait for our drinks to get here." Moonbay says looking around for the waiter. "This won't cost you a lot will it?"
"Hey I don't care if it does. As long as you are well taken care of." Irvine says with the as-a-matter-of-fact tone.
"Oh are you indicating something?" Moonbay asks turning to Irvine.
"Maybe." Irvine says giving Moonbay the eyes.
Thomas is trying his best to ignore the customers who are calling him, knocking off his concentration for harvest night plan.
"I got to get out of here. I can't think with these people calling me, thinking I work here." Thomas says now walking away and unnoticed to him, bumps into the waiter carrying Irvine and Moonbay's drinks, spilling the flavorful beverages all over their table, making Moonbay holler. From Van and Fiona's table, they can hear the ruckus and turn from their meal.
"My outfit." Moonbay screams getting up. That tips Irvine.
"Hey buddy do you see what you did?" Irvine says getting up and grabbing the waiter by the collar.
"It wasn't my intention I swear." The waiter stammers. "I was bumped."
"I'm going to go clean up. I'll be back Irvine." Moonbay says leaving the table.
"I'm not paying for what you spilled. Get us some new drinks and this time be careful." Irvine yells slinging the waiter away from the table. The waiter attempts to run, but trips over Thomas, who was getting up.
"Excuse me." Thomas says getting up and trying to keep from being seen by Irvine.
"Is that Thomas?" Fiona asks getting a clear visual of the guy.
"Looks like it." Van says taking a good look himself.
"Thomas?" Irvine calls out, stopping Thomas in his tracks. Thomas turns around slowly to Irvine and smiles.
"Why you? How dare you ruin my dates' outfit." Irvine yells now running after Thomas.
"I could have sworn it was him." Van says as he and Fiona go back to their meal. Moonbay returns to the table her and Irvine are sharing, only to see him gone and a big mess next to their table. A waiter comes back to clean up the mess.
"He never gets it." Fiona says laughing.
Irvine is chasing Thomas, While Van and Fiona finish their meal, get the check and van pays and now taking Fiona home.
After Dinner at the Lynette Residence*
"Thanks for dinner Van." Fiona says picking up her dress.
"Hey it was nothing. I just want to make that night perfect." Van says staring into Fiona's Crimson orbs.
"Well guess I'll see you later then?" Fiona says smiling.
"Yeah you will. Oh I won't be going to school tomorrow because my dad wants to help me plan harvest night." Van says.
"I won't either. Hair and Nails appointment." Fiona says.
"Well I can't wait to see your hair." Van says making Fiona blush.
"You'll love it. I'll call you." Fiona says opening the door.
"Sure thing." Van says giving Fiona a kiss on the lips. She smiles and walks in the house.
Van makes his home with his suit and Fiona on his mind.
Ok people I hope you like this one. Took me sometime to think up even though I'm on spring break. Devil in pink will soon follow and the next chapter to this one will be the dance, a two parter. Let me know if you want me to change anything, I got plenty of time to do so ^_^.
Flamers are ignored, torched, and then burned to death. This ain't a barbecue so find a forest to go light.
For everyone else, I hoped you like it.
Review and Thanks.
