Hey Guys! I'm glad to know that you like it. Thank you all so much for the reviews…they really help make sure I'm in check with my readers.

Author's Note: Ok, I haven't really seen very many episodes with Julie in them yet…so I don't really know if Julie is the same as I am writing her out or not. So I'm basically guessing at her character in this fic.

And I don't really know if Natalie likes JAZZ or not…BUT IN THIS FIC SHE LOVES IT! lol

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Julie walked into the kitchen. "Yes what?" She asked referring to what she had just heard her mom say on the phone.

"Well…how would you feel if I went out with Mr. Monk?"

"Okay, I guess…he seems like a cool enough guy. A little weird…but cool," Julie said with a nod.

"Good, cause he just asked me out."

"And you said yes?" Julie asked.

Natalie smiled and nodded her head.

"When?" Julie asked, also smiling.

"At 7:00"

Julie looked at her watch and gasped, "Mom we have to get you ready!" She said as she tugged her mother into Natalie's bedroom to find the perfect outfit.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

"What do you think?" Natalie asked, coming out of the bathroom in another outfit.

Julie looked her over her mom, "Umm…I like the top…but I don't think the jeans would be a good idea."

Natalie shrugged, looking at herself in the mirror.

"Here let me help." Julie said getting off of the bed and walking into the closet. Moments later she returned from the closet with a silver dress that wasn't too formal in her hands. "How 'bout this one mom?" She asked, holding it out to her mother.

"Julie…I haven't worn that in so long…I don't know if I can fit into it."

"Oh of course you can." Julie said placing the dress in her mother's hand and pushing her into the bathroom. She closed the door and yelled "JUST TRY IT!"

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Monk walked over to his front door and opened it. Standing before him was a beautiful Natalie Teeger dressed in a beautiful silver dress.

Monk almost lost his breath as he looked at her…just standing there. So peacefully, so gracefully, so beautifully standing there. He almost felt like picking her up and carrying her somewhere…the place wouldn't matter…just having her in his arms would be sufficient.

"Natalie…I like…umm." 'Complement her dress…but then it would look like I was ignoring her make-up. So complement her make-up…or complement her make-up and her dress…but there's so much more about her I could complement. So much more about her I admire, I like…I love.'

"Like your dress…and your shoes and make-up and hair…you look very nice Natalie." Monk finally said.

"Thank you," She said in return. 'At least he's trying,' she thought.

"I'm flattered that you changed out of your normal clothes for this."

It was true…He wasn't in his normal suit. He was wearing a dark blue dress shirt and black pants. He looked rather nice from where Natalie stood.

"I thought it might be nice," He said with a smile.

"Are you ready?" Natalie asked.

Monk nodded his head and off they went.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Monk took Natalie to a jazz restaurant not too far from his house. Natalie loved jazz and Monk knew that. So he grinned as they pulled up to the building and he saw Natalie's face light up.

"Oh Adrian! The Blue Jacket? How did you know I liked this place?" She asked with excitement.

Monk shrugged, "Lucky guess I suppose." He replied with a smile.

She looked over to him and smiled back. As she looked at his smile, she noticed that it wasn't a normal smile. It wasn't his normal smirk… or a grin…he wasn't showing his teeth. He was just smiling. It was a weird smile…Natalie couldn't decide if she liked it or not. It was like he was smiling at some unknown thought…and he was trying to communicate his thoughts to her through the smile.

"Why are you smiling?"

"I…I'm umm. I wasn't smiling," He said as he stepped out of the car.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

A man in a white shirt and shiny blue vest walked them to their table.

Monk and Natalie took their seats and began to talk.

"So…" Monk started "Did you tell Julie about this?"

"Yeah."

"And how did she take it? You know…with me being…me?"

"She was exited…she helped me pick out this dress."

"She has good taste," Monk said with a look of approval.

The two of them continued to talk and then Natalie stopped in mid sentence when she heard the band start playing a song.

"I love this song! Come on, let's dance," She said standing up.

Monk's face was quickly flooded with terror and dread. "I-I-I-I don't think that's such a good idea."

"Why not? You can dance can't you?"

"Well…no" Monk said with slight embarrassment.

"Well you can move can't you?"

"Yes."

"Well perfect…it's just the same as moving only to a beat," Natalie said snapping her fingers.

"Did I say 'yes'? I meant 'no'" Monk said quickly. "Actually I meant 'no, no, no, no, no," he said, shaking his head.

"Come on Adrian I know you can move. I've seen you all the time. Come on, come with me," She said grabbing his hand.

"I don't move well," He said raising his shoulders.

Natalie had a disappointed look on her face.

After a long while, Monk gave in. He hated seeing her upset, "Ok…maybe one dance".

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Randy walked around the room. He always came to this restaurant on Wednesdays. For four reasons: one, he liked jazz; two, he could usually get a policeman's discount if he showed his badge; three, he thought the food was delicious; and four, he had been trying to get the girl at the desk to go out with him for 3 weeks now. He sat down at his normal table and stared to clap when the band ended their song. Randy looked at the dance floor and watched the couples start dancing to a slow song. He saw the back of a head that he recognized.

'Is that…? No it can't be. Who would he be going out with?' Randy thought as he stared at the couple more.

"It is." He said with surprise when Natalie turned and pulled Monk to the dance floor. "I can't believe it," Randy said with a smile as he watched Natalie get Monk in the proper position.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

"Ok this goes here…and this goes here." She said as she placed Monk's hand on her hip and grabbed his other one.

Slowly, the two began to dance. And to Natalie's surprise…Monk wasn't such a bad dancer…in fact…he was very good once he loosened up.

Monk pushed her hip and let the two stretch apart to where they were both at arms length.

Instead of pulling her back he stopped and looked at her… "You sure look lovely…Natalie" He said sincerely.

She smiled, which made him smile, which made him happy, which made him want to dance, which made him pull her back into him and continue dancing.

Monk looked around them, "I don't think we are doing this right."

Natalie looked around also. She saw the couples hugging and dancing at the same time. "Your right" she said.

Monk placed his arm on her back and pulled her close to him. He had one and on her back and the other still in her hand.

She leaned in and rested her head on his chest.

He took a deep breath 'my word! She smells magnificent!' He thought to himself as he exhaled.

They continued to dance.

Then Monk pulled away slightly and looked into her eyes.

He leaned in to kiss her and she closed her eyes. Then he stopped and brought his head back. He opened his mouth, tilted his head and blinked a few times. She opened her eyes. He went to go kiss her again but still didn't make it.

"Something wrong?" She asked kindly.

Monk tilted his head again and said, "This seemed to be easier before."

Natalie smiled, "Need some help?"

"That would be nice," He said with a nod.

She smiled, grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him to her.

It wasn't long before the kiss intensified. This kiss was much more passionate then the first. They came apart and Adrian brushed her cheek with his thumb. He couldn't help it…he pulled his head to hers again and began covering the tip of her nose with little kisses.

And Natalie in return, began covering the ball of his chin with little kisses.

Monk started to smile in between kisses…he chuckled while he said… "That (kiss) tickles (kiss) Natalie (kiss)".

He pulled away and rubbed his chin as if to get the tingling felling to stop.

"Hey, I wasn't finished yet!" Natalie said in a playful voice.

Monk stuck out his chin to her. And she gave it one more kiss.

"Done." She said

Monk smiled and kissed her again.

But the two soon broke apart when they heard the lead saxophone player on the microphone.

"Can I have everyone's attention please." He began. "I have just received word that we have a very special couple in the audience tonight…so this next one is for Adrian and Natalie." He said pointing to them.

Suddenly there was a spotlight on the two of them. Monk looked over to the stage and saw a certain Randy Disher standing next to it with his hands in his pockets.

Randy smiled and nodded. Monk smiled and nodded back.

I saw that kiss. Randy mouthed to Monk.

Adrian began to blush.

Randy gave Monk an approving two thumbs up as though to congratulate him on the kiss. And Monk began to blush harder.

"That was weird…who do you think dedicated the song to us?" Natalie questioned.

Monk smiled… "I have no idea"
