Chapter 2
It's a date
"You told him WHAT?" Ken exclaimed back at the Professor's lab. "Chill out kid, it was an accident. And besides, he's probably forgotten it by now." Kaoru explained, trying to calm the 8-year-old down. "What if he hasn't? what if he works for the government or something? Oh, they'll preform expiriments and interrigate us all!" Ken continued, shaking with worry.
The girls stared at him as if he were crazy. "It could happen." The boy said in embarassment.. "Give Kaoru a little credit, Ken. He must be cool if she likes him." Momoko explained. "What's that supposed to mean?" Kaoru asked. "And I don't like him!"
"We've got bigger problems girls." The professor interupted. "I'm picking up some strange energy signals on the radar. They're faint, but I think I can sort of pinpoint one of them near the skatepark. Kaoru, isn't that where you met that Van boy.?
"So what, are you spying on him now?" Kaoru asked defensively. "Look, if their was something bad about him, I would of sensed it. Just leave him alone!" she exclaimed. "Wow, Kaoru. For someone you don't like you sure are protective of him." Momoko teased. "For the last time, I DON'T LIKE HIM!" Kaoru replied and flew out the window towards her house.
The next day, Momoko and Myako found themselves waiting at their lockers for Kaoru. "Hey Myako, you seen Kaoru around?" Momoko asked. "Girl, I ain't seen her since yesterday; throwin' fits and stizzuf." Myako replied rolling her eyes. "Okay thanks." Momoko said irritably. "But it's not like her to be late. I wonder….Myako?"
Momoko looked up and saw Myako staring at something in shock. "Myako, what's….WHOA!" Momoko's eyes went wide and her jaw dropped as she noticed what Myako was staring at. It was Kaoru and she was wearing a dress! And a cute one at that "Sorry I'm late guys. I can not skate in this skirt." Kaoru apologized.
"Oh, it's official. You definently like that guy." Momoko stated after regaining her composure. "This isn't about Van! My…parents, made me dress like this." Kaoru lied. "by the way, Van's not around, is he?" she asked. "Actually he's right behind you." A voice said from behind.
Kaoru turned around to see Van's dark brown eyes looking down on her (for he was slightly taller), inches away from her face. Embarassed, she quickly jumped behind Momoko and Myako. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." He apologized. "Are you wearing a dress?" He asked
"You didn't scare me. And what do you mean 'Are you wearing a dress?'" she said, jumping back in front of him. "Um, nothing. It's actualy kinda cute." He replied. Kaoru blushed. "You just didn't strike me as a dress type. I'd much rather you be yourself, Kaoru."he continued."Wait, you remembered my name?" she asked. "Of course I remembered your name; you saved my life." He replied.
"And pratically laid him afterwards." Myako added under her breath. Kaoru punched her in the head. "And it'd be kinda crucial if I were to, say, ask you to 'hang out' with me." He added as he scratched the back of his head. Getting his drift, Momoko and Myako grabbed Kaoru and pulled her to the side.
"He asked you out! Go for it, girl!" Momoko wispered. "Do it quick, 'cause I'll take'em if you don't. He is foine!" Myako added. "Will you stop talking like that!" Kaoru asked irritated. "Um, girls?" Van called to them. They quickly stood up and pushed Kaoru toward him. "I'd, um, love to 'hang out' with you, Van" She said timidly.
"Really? I mean, cool." He replied catching himself before he sounded desperate. "How's Saturday?" he asked. "Saturday's cool." She replied. Just then Van's black and white wrist watch began to beep and Van began to panic. "Uh, sorry I gotta go. But, I'll see you Saturday!" He shouted as he rushed away. "Yeah, see you Saturday." She muttered once again in the same loving daze. Just then Momoko and Myako grabbed her arms. "We've got some work to do." Momoko said with a smile
