Kaoru's first date

Eventually, Saturday rolled around and Kaoru was, to her own surpised, nervous. And Momoko and Myako's advice wasn't helping. " You guys, I look rediculous!" Kaoru complained about her new outfit. "I swear I'm gonna catch nemonia in this shirt. And this is the shortest pair of pants I've ever seen in my life!" she continued.

"Don't worry, you look great!" Momoko said. "Ya. And for the record, they're supposed to be that short, they're capris." Myako added. "Hey, what happened to the hip-hop thing?" Kaoru asked. "I decided to drop it. I'm told it doesn't work for me." she replied angrily towards Momoko who was innocently wistling in the corner.

"Anyway, Van's not gonna worry about what you're wearing anyway. We thought you wanted to look like a girl for your date." Myako added. "Well yeah, but, not if I'm gonna freeze to death!" Kaoru replied. "I just think you're nervous. So don't sweat it, okay? Besides, I'm sure Van'll keep you warm." Momoko said suggestively. "Shut up!" Kaoru yelled.

"It's almost 5:00. you better go." Myako added trying to stop the near at hand fight. "Oh right! Van said to meet him at the skatepark. He said he had a surprise for me! Bye!" Kaoru said giddly and Rushed out the door.

"Hey Myako, waddya say to a little 'superhero survailance'?" Momoko asked.

"You read my mind!" Myako added. "Hyper Blossom!" Momoko yelled and transformed into her pink uniform. "Rolling Bubbles!" Myako cried as she transformed into her blue uniform and together they flew at a distance behind Kaoru to spy on her first date.

Kaoru met up with Van at the skate park where he was leaning on a skateboard with a pair of rollerblades draped over his shoulder. "Whoa! Is that the new Roller-Rocket 2500! That thing doesn't come out 'till christmas! Where'd you get it?" she asked in astonishment. "I know a guy." He replied mysteriously. "Anyway, I'm glad you like it. this way you won't have any excuses when I school you on the half-pipe." He added, putting on his skates.

"Don't flatter yourself." Kaoru said confidently and the couple began skating. Once they got tired, Van and Kaoru ventured to the arcade with Momoko and Myako secretly following them every step of the way. There, they challenged each other in DDR, Air-hockey, and many other games. By the end of the night the couple retired to the ice cream bar and were laughing their heads off.

"I can't believe you made me spend $20.00 worth of quarters for rematches at the DDR mat!" Van laughed. "What can I say, I'm very competitive. Besides I scared the manager so bad he gave us 15 free games!" Kaoru replied. "Yeah, remind me not to bother you when you're playing video games!" He exclaimed. They both bursted out laughing.

Meanwhile Momoko was across the street throwing a fit. "What kind of date was this! All they did the entire night was compete against each other! This isn't a date; it's a triathalon!" She yelled. "Hang on Momoko, their going into the photo booth." Myako interupted. Great; and here we are with every superpower under the son, ecxept X-Ray vision"Momoko complained.

Van put enough money into the booth for 5 photo's. The first one was the two of them smiling. The second they made funny faces. The third was of Van and Kaoru in B-boy poses. The fourth was of Van with his arm around Kaoru, which must've made her uncomfortable because the last picture was of Van cringing because Kaoru punched him in the stomach.

"I am so sorry!" Kaoru apologized. "You made me nervous and when I'm nervous I, well, you know. Sorry." She explained. "It's cool. It's not the first time I've taken one to the stomach." He replied. By this time Van was walking Kaoru home.

"Hey Kaoru. I won you something back at the arcade." Van told her as he pulled a braclet out of his pocket. I had a silver, crescent moon pendant and a pendant with the word Bellus engraved on it. "It's the least I could do after beating you so bad at the arcade." He laughed.

"Ha ha, funny." She said sarcasticlly as she snatched the bracelet out of his hand. "What the heck does bellus mean?" she asked. "It's latin for beautiful." He laughed as he gently took her chin in his hand. "Kind of like you are."

Kaoru blushed and gasped in astonishment as Van leaned in to kiss her. Just then his wrist watch began to beep. "Ah geez! Uh, look I gotta go." He said in a panic. "I'll see ya tommorow!" He yelled as he ran off. Just then Kaoru's powerbelt began to glow and Momoko and Myako landed in front of her.

"Kaoru, we gotta go! Mojo's at it again!" Momoko told her. "Wait, how did you know I was here?" Kaoru asked. Momoko fell silent. "Never mind. Powered Buttercup!" She cried and transformed into her green uniform. "let's go! I'm in the mood to pound somebody." And together the girls flew off.
