~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~~+~

That night…

[Cesia is sitting at a table in a restaurant waiting for Bierrez. Rath appears from behind a pillar and walks up to her.]

Rath: Hey

Cesia: Hello, what are you doing here?

Rath: I went to get tickets to a concert for your favorite band for our date.

Cesia: Yes, continue please

Rath: Well I got 2 front row tickets, but then I realized that the concert was tonight.

Cesia: So you want me to ditch Bierrez and go to the concert with you…

Rath: Exactly

Cesia: Okay

Rath: Really?!?

Cesia: Really, but first I have to find out where Bierrez is taking me. If I don't like the place I'll say that I need to go to the restroom and I'll sneak out the back door to meet with you.

Rath: Okay, see you later

[Rath leaves. A half-hour later Bierrez show up with flowers and is looking really excited]

Bierrez: Sorry I'm late. The checkout line was terrible to get these flowers. I was planning on us having a nice dinner, followed by going to the opera. Oh, these are for you.

[Hands her the flowers]

Cesia: Sounds wonder-- [Suddenly starts sneezing uncontrollably] *Achoo* I *Achoo* must *Achoo* be *Achoo* allergic *Achoo* to the *Achoo* flowers.

[Sneezes some more]

Bierrez: oh, I'm so sorry. I'll get rid of the flowers while you go to the restroom and straighten yourself out.

Cesia: Thank *Achoo* You.

[Bierrez throws the flowers at a waiter and Cesia runs out the room. Cesia goes into the bathroom and straightens herself out. After she leaves the restroom instead of going back to the main dining room she goes out the back door and meets up with Rath.]

Rath: ready to go?

Cesia: never been more ready can you believe it?!?! He was going to take me to an opera. High-pitched singing ruins my hair.

[Cesia and Rath go to the concert]

Rath: I wonder what Bierrez is doing…

Cesia: Who cares? We're having a great time and that's all that matters

[In the mean time Bierrez is arguing with the cook]

Bierrez: Look, I don't want to be offensive, but absolutely none of your dishes are good enough to eat—

Chef: For your information this is a five-star restaurant and All and I mean All of my food is edible and delicious to the core.

Bierrez: I'm not saying the food isn't good—

Chef: That's exactly what you just said.

Bierrez: I only mean that none of your food is good enough for Cesia to eat

Chef: who is this Cesia?

Bierrez: She's my date.

Chef: and where is she?

Bierrez: she's in the bathroom

Chef: and how long has she been in there?

Bierrez: a little over an hour. Why?

[They continue to argue. An hour later C&R go to a cheap restaurant and have a wonderful dinner. Meanwhile…]

Bierrez: Look all I want is for you to make a special dish just for Cesia

Chef: I told you no, guards please remove this disgrace of a demon from this establishment.

[Some guards appear and they start to drag Bierrez away]

Bierrez: That's it! I'm never coming here again!

Chef: Of course you're not. You have a lifetime ban.

Bierrez: What!?!

[A half-hour later Cesia walks by the restaurant to sneak back in when she sees Bierrez sitting on the curb.]

Cesia: what are you doing on the curb?

Bierrez: *suddenly nervous* oh nothing I'm sorry that our date was so terrible.

Cesia: nonsense I had a wonderful time. Bye, see you at part two of the game show/contest

Bierrez: *completely ignoring her because she said she had a wonderful time*

Cesia: whatever.

[The Next Morning…]

Cesia: I really did have a wonderful time on the date. However because I didn't spend the date with Bierrez I have to give him 0 points and 20 points to Rath.
