"Thank you for your time Mr. Reifuto." I stood up to shake his hand as he left.

"The pleasure is mine." And he disappeared through the front doors, which brought my eyes to Takuya and Zoe who seemed to be in a joyable conversation and were smiling at each other happily.

"Oh…look at them…aren't they just the cutest couple!" Chizuko sighed in the earpiece. "Aw…look at that—they're laughing—together—on a date…that's a good sign, means they are getting along just fine."

"Oh course they are—anyway, we should be going to my house to discuss the notes and progress etc."

"Gotcha girl, man, it really is awful to leave them, really, you've got to admit—they do look really cute together."

I ignored her last comment and sighed in relied that the first part of the plan was over—thank you Lord—we got through it. "Koichi—mission part 1 completely complete, outtie to my house, now." I mumbled into the earpiece, trying no to move my mouth too much.

"C'min." Koichi mumbled back.

I happily practically skipped out of the door though careful not to attract too much attention or to show my face towards the direction of Takuya and Zoe.

"This calls for a party! We made it out—unharmed and with the right information!" Chizuko yelped.

"Not all of us—Koichi still needs to get out of there and we can't spend anytime parting until the Minamoto's stay here and we fully complete the mission. Got it?" I said, covering her noisy big-mouth.

"Er…hey guys." Koichi appeared from behind the restaurant, and blinked as it started to drizzle. "Uh-"

"We really should get going…."

So after eating our main meal and discussing more about the weirdest employees and if we ever owned a business who was most likely to never work for us. We both agreed Kai and Koji were most likely to become entrepreneur's and JP was least likely.

"I'm still hungry for dessert? You?" Takuya asked casually. I was thankful there was a weird waitress here, if there wasn't we wouldn't have started talking about business and we would still be really stiff and uncomfortable around each other.

"Yeah! Let's try this Italian dessert, I've had it in Italy, it's one of my favorite's, there's a picture right here—" I passed him the dessert menu and as he grabbed it he held my hand, we both blushed and I quickly withheld my hand, Takuya took the menu dutifully.

"Er…look's good Z."

"Yeah….bene…. Er, waiter, please, could we have the special tonight?" I asked a nearby waiter since the weird one hadn't been showing up.

"Of course madam." And he left, taking our menus with him.

"So…er, are you having a good time so far?" Takuya asked nervously.

"Of course Takuya!" I said a little too forcefully and blushed because of it, why did I have to be so stupida!

"What do you want to do after lunch? We still have time before curfew. I mean, if your tired or anything, I'll walk you to your house, it's just that—"

"How about a walk through the park?" I smiled. We were both really nervous right now and I was glad to know I wasn't the only one.

"Zoe—I have a question to ask…what did you think of me when you first met me on the Trailmon to the digital world?"

"Well—in truth, I thought you were pretty cute and I wanted to be friends with you. What did you think?" I looked down and blushed with a happy smile on my face.

"I thought you'd be the caretaker of the team—you know, like a Mother who's caring and sweet—but I was wrong—I mean, I don't think that you're not sweet or caring—you're very sweet and caring! It's just, you're more outgoing and outspoken than that…."

My smile grew to a grin as I heard this. "I know what you mean."

We both stared at each other, blushing. Then, as if some kind of weird force had come over me, I leaned over to kiss him.

At first, he leaned forward to kiss me back, we both paused right before our lips touched and his lip started to quiver, just as his lips touched mine, he immediately pulled back.

"Er—sorry about that."

I blushed so hard I thought I would faint. "Er—no—no problem…."

"Sir, Ma'am, you're dessert?" The waiter appeared carrying two dishes of a sweet-looking Italian dessert.

"So fast?" I asked as he put the plate down in front of me.

"Yes, that's what our restaurant is known for."

"Even if you've only been here for 2 weeks?" Takuya asked.

"Yes. Our restaurant first opened in Italy, the chef here is also from Italy; pure Italian in fact."

"Oh? Well tell him 'io amare voi il cibo.'"

"Will do ma'am." And he left.
