Mitsurugi sat in the kitchen. He of course was thinking about Taki again. "Why do I act so stupid around her?" growled Mitsurugi as he pulled on this own hair. Then Taki walked into the kitchen. "Oh it's you. Why don't you go somewhere and die?" hissed Taki as she looked in the fridge for anything to eat. "Listen Taki I'm real sorry. Give me one more chance, I'll take you on a date you'll never forget!" exclaimed Mitsurugi as he waved his hands symbolically. "You mean a date I'll want to forget right?" she asked blinking a few times. "No, I'm serious let me take you out and show you how it's really done." Offered Mitsurugi know getting on his knees. "Okay just don't grovel!" said Taki as she exited the kitchen. Mitsurugi yelled out to her. "Tomorrow eight o' clock!"
Meanwhile Nightmare was trying to get Sophitia to notice him. Nightmare walked up to her obviously sweaty and nervous. "Ahem, hello Sophitia. I was wondering are you doing anything tonight?" asked Nightmare coughing politely. "No, not really. Why?" asked Sophitia. Nightmare froze was he really about to ask her out? "Sophitia would you go out with me?" asked Nightmare as a bead of sweat rolled down his left cheek. "Sure Nightmare that would be nice." Almost whispered Sophitia blushing. "Great I'll see you tonight in the grand ballroom. I have a special treat for you." Smiled Nightmare as he almost skipped away.
Maxi walked into the kitchen with Astroph. "Remind me why are we here?" asked Astroph looking at the bag of flour. "We are going to cook an amazing dinner for everyone. I mean we only have two more days here we might as well make something cool." Explained Maxi as he got out some cooking equipment. "Since when have we become pansies?" asked Astroph. "Real men can cook." Stated Maxi as he pulled out two aprons.
"Which apron do you want Astroph? Flowers or Unicorns?"
"Unicorns."
"Aye, I thought so."
Ivy and Voldo finally came out of the hotel room. Ivy's hair was messed up and some of Voldo's cloth was loose. "That was the most amazing night and morning I have ever had!" moaned Ivy as she looked around the hall. Voldo nodded his head in agreement. "I'm going back to my room to wash up and get some rest." Stated Ivy as she walked down the hall. Voldo looked behind to see Ivy's action. Their night was great; the incessant sex hadn't tired out Voldo at all however. Voldo didn't get tired, that just wasn't his thing. So Voldo decided he'd watch reruns of his favorite TV show.
As it got later in the day Sophitia got ready for her date. Cassandra however was not giving her the most encouraging words. "Sophitia don't wear that! It's tacky, trust me you need the best outfit." Said Cassandra putting a hand on her hip. "Why do you say that?" asked Sophitia. "Sister, you need an outfit that is going to show off your curves and send Nightmare's car shooting out of his garage, if you know what I mean." Giggled Cassandra.
"Cassandra, how many times do I have to tell you? It's just a date between tow friends, nothing more." Said Sophitia as she decided which dress to wear. "Oh come on Sophie! I know you've liked Nightmare since you were little." Pointed out Cassandra. "Yes, well I…shut up!" almost barked Sophitia as she decided to wear a sleek blue dress.
Mitsurugi was getting ready for his last chance to impress Taki wearing a white tuxedo. Kilik was commenting on his choice of clothing. "Well, that's surely a fine pick." Exclaimed Kilik. "Thank you, if I do say so myself. I believe tonight is the night. I can feel it!" said Mitsurugi as he fixed his hair. "Tonight, Taki will fall into my arms and beg me to be the one to take her virginity!" said Mitsurugi as he jumped up and down. Kilik suddenly stood up. "Whoa! Whoa! Buddy calm down, you shouldn't even think about having sex with a woman until your married and that's the truth! Besides I doubt Taki is a virgin." Explained Kilik as he looked at the ground. "Well no matter, I will steal her heart tonight. I've planned it out with Nightmare. We will dance all night. Maxi and Astroph are also making a gigantic meal." Proclaimed Mitsurugi as he fixed his bow tie. "I can't wait to chow down on those delicious pies Maxi is making. Chillin' on the chow line…good times!" sang Kilik as he swung his head.
Later Sophitia and Taki came down to meet Nightmare and Mitsurugi. Taki wore a red dress that left little to the imagination and Nightmare wore a plain black tuxedo. Nightmare and Mitsurugi went through all the steps perfectly as the asked the ladies to dance. Not only that they danced perfectly. Raphael was on the piano playing smooth jazz as the couples danced. "Mitsurugi I'm shocked! You really can dance." Complimented Taki. "Thank you my dear, and might I add you look beautiful today. Not like you don't everyday." Said Mitsurugi in a smooth voice. Taki blushed furiously. "Nightmare I didn't know you were this charming." Giggled Sophitia. Nightmare had pulled out all the stops he had even got a haircut from Voldo. "Thank you, I learned from the best." Said Nightmare as he winked at Raphael. Though Raphael probably didn't see it, because he had just put on his Ray Charles glasses. This night is perfect! Nothing can go wrong! As Nightmare thought these things something did go wrong.
Maxi was in the kitchen cooking with Astroph. "Hey I gotta' go to the bathroom. Watch the stove." Said Maxi as he left the kitchen. Astroph couldn't hear Maxi however he was too busy listening to his walkman. Suddenly a burst of flames shot out of the stove and a few sparks got on the carpet. This quickly led to a bigger problem and soon half of the carpet was in flames. Maxi ran into the kitchen seeing the fire. "What in the world? Astroph! You were supposed to be watching the stove!" yelled Maxi in a panic. Astroph turned around to see the flames. "Oh snap, crackle pop!" yelped Astroph as he look frantically for an extinguisher.
The fire was spreading quickly and at this point the fire alarm went off. The sprinkler system turned on and the couples dancing were drenched in water. Everyone came out of their rooms yelling at the sudden burst of water that had got on them. Well, all except for Ivy and Voldo who liked it wet. "What's going on?" barked Talim. "Yeah all my porn magazines are wet!" yelled Yungsung. Everyone looked at Yungsung. Charade just shook his head.
"It's just a little kitchen fire." Explained Astroph. "You call that little? It's burned about 75 of the carpet!" snapped Yoshimitsu. There was a knock heard at the door. Nightmare decided to answer it, his date was ruined anyway. "May I help you?" asked a gloomy Nightmare. A man in a black suit replied. "Yes, have you heard the good news?" asked the man as he held up a pamphlet. On the front of the pamphlet was a picture of Jesus praying. "Look, were in the middle of a fire. Now is not the best time." Groaned Nightmare. "Actually now is the perfect time! You see repent now and you won't have to burn in the fiery pits of hell!" roared the man. Nightmare slowly closed the door on the man. "Who was that?" asked Sophitia trying to dry off her wet dress.
The man knocked again and Nightmare angrily opened the door. "Well if you don't want Jesus how about Buddha?" asked the man giving Nightmare a pamphlet of Buddha on the front. Nightmare handed the pamphlet back to the man. "Leave me alone!" barked Nightmare as he slammed the door. He regained his composure and then walked up to Sophitia. "Sophitia, I'm sorry our night was ruined. I had really hoped I could have impressed you. To be honest I wanted to make you like me." Sighed Nightmare as he looked away from her.
Sophitia smiled then kissed Nightmare on the cheek. "I already like you." Whispered Sophitia. Nightmare grinned. He had just gotten a kiss from Sophitia the woman of his dreams. "One more dance?" asked Sophitia pointing to the dance floor. Raphael was still playing the piano cocking back his head imitating Ray Charles. "I'd be honored." Replied Nightmare.
Taki joined Mitsurugi on the dance floor as well. "Mitsurugi I was wrong about you. You're really sweet. So why did you act that way towards me earlier?" asked Taki. "I don't know. I'm really nervous when I get around you. I do goofy stuff." Replied Mitsurugi. "Well don't be goofy too much." Smiled Taki as she kissed Mitsurugi passionately.
"This is the greatest moment of my life!" cried Raphael. Everyone else watched the couples dance from the upper level.
