Saturday came quickly. They had little work after Jade came by that day. Jake had spent most of his time down in the hanger. He also spent a lot of time trying to think of where they would go for dinner. He and Chance weren't exactly raking in the money. But he had a decent amount at the moment. He hoped she didn't want to go somewhere fancy. He knew of a nice place that he could afford. Jake sighed as he looked at the clock. It read five o'clock, that meant he only had two hours to get ready. Jake had to clean up and find a decent outfit to wear. Jake took a quick shower and looked over his clothes. He decided on blue jeans, a black shirt, and a jacket. He had a little under a half hour before Jade would show up. He entered the tv room and saw Chance sitting on the couch. Chance looked up at Jake as he walked in.
" Hey, you clean up good buddy. I don't think I can remember the last time I saw you go out." Chance said.
" Neither can I." Jake said as he sat down on the couch.
" Nervous?" Chance said with a smile on his face.
" A little, I hope I don't do anything stupid." Jake said. Just moments after Jake sat down, they heard a car pull up.
" She's a little early, isn't she?" Chance said.
" Yeah." Jake said as he looked at the clock.
Jake got up and walked out only to see Callie instead. He was surprised to see her there. Chance soon came out and was as surprised as Jake to see Callie. She got out of her car and walked up to them.
" Hi guys. Wow Jake, you look great. What's the occasion?" Callie said as she came to a stop infront of them.
" Jake's got a date." Chance said.
" Really, I hope you have a good date." Callie said.
" So Callie, how are things?" Chance asked.
" Pretty good, but my cars acting up. This mourning it wasn't running well, but now it sounds fine. I wondered if you would take a look at it. I'd hate for it to start acting up again." Callie said.
" Sure I'll look over it." Chance said.
" Thanks Chance, I really appreciate it." Callie said as Chance walked over her car. " So Jake, how did you get a date?"
" Well an old high school friend showed up and we had a little talk. Then we ended up planning a date to catch up." Jake said.
" Oh really?" Callie said.
Just then a car pulled up and Jade stepped out. She was in a blue dress. Nothing special, but it was beautiful. Her hair seemed to craddle her face. It was all Jake could do to keep his jaw from dropping as he saw her. She was more beautiful then he had imagined her to be. She walked up to Jake and Callie.
" Hi Jake. I know I'm early, but I couldn't wait." Jade said.
" That's alright." Jake said. " This is Callie."
" Hi." Callie said.
" Hi, I'm Jade." Jade said with a smile.
" You look familar. Have we met before?" Callie asked.
" I think you've met my mother. She got to meet Mayor Manx once and said she met you. She worked in the old labs that Dr. Viper destroyed a few years ago." Jade said, looking away for a moment.
" I remember that incident. There were many kats who died. And those who survived lost their jobs." Callie said.
" Yes, I worked in the labs as well. After my parents died I kind of went into a funk and isolated myself. But thanks to Jake I'm doing better now." Jade said.
" Oh, you know there are some new labs up. If you want I could get you a position in them." Callie said.
" That would be wonderful. I had planned to try and get some work in the new labs." Jade said, allowing her smile to return.
" A part was loose, but I fixed that. It shouldn't give you any trouble now." Chance said as he walked up to the them.
" Come on Jake lets get going." Jade said, gently grabbing Jake's hand.
" Alright. See you guys later." Jake said as he and Jade walked over to her car.
" So, do you know where we're going or are we going to be driving around until we do?" Jade asked.
" I have an idea where we could go." Jake said.
" Then you can drive, it'll be easier that way." Jade said then walked around to the passenger side.
" Ok, that works." Jake said as he climbed into the car.
Jake started the car and drove off. He felt a little awkward being on a date since he couldn't remember the last time he was on a date. It just felt a little weird, especially since it's with Jade, the one kat who knew their secret. Jake hoped he wasn't making a mistake by trusting her.
" So, where are we going? If you don't mind my asking." Jade said in an attempt to brake the silence.
" To a nice little place I know about. It's no high class restaurant, but it's still a nice place." Jake said with a smile.
" I can't wait." Jade said.
It wasn't long before they arrived. It was easy to find a place to park. They went inside and were soon seated. There weren't many kats there, so they could talk about almost anything. They ordered their meals then they talked about what had happened since they graduated. Jade told of her college days and when she worked in the old labs. Jake told her about how he and Chance had been so wrongfully discharged from the Enforcers because of Commander Feral.
" That's so unfair. You got thrown out because Feral wanted all the glory." Jade said.
" Yeah, but it's in the past. There's nothing that can be done now." Jake said, shrugging.
" But some real good came out of it, right." Jade said.
" Yeah, I guess so." Jake said.
Their food arrived soon after that. They ate and sat there for a few more minutes when they finished. Jake paid and they left. They were soon back in her car. It was too early to end the date, so Jake thought for a moment. At first he thought about them seeing a movie, but the movies playing didn't seem very good. He tried to think of something else they could do together. Jake looked over at Jade. She was looking at the sky.
" It's such a beautiful day. I haven't seen many days like this in a long time." Jade said.
Jake suddenly got an idea. They still had a little daylight left. He knew just where to go. It wasn't long before they reached their destination, MegaKat Park.
" How about a walk around the park?" Jake said as he parked.
" That sounds great." Jade said.
Jake smiled as they got out. Jade held onto Jake's arm as they began to walk, making him smile. It was very nice out, and so peaceful. It had be a while since Jake saw it so peaceful. After a few minutes they stopped by the lake as the sun set. Jade leaned against Jake as she looked out over the lake at the setting sun, turning the sky a brilliant orange. He put his arm around her as she did so. So far the date was going great. Jade really seemed to be enjoying herself, Jake knew he sure was. The sun soon disappeared over the horizon and the sky turned dark. Jade leaned in close to Jake as a slight wind blew. He tightened his grip, just slightly, as he looked at her. The wind blew again, this time it carried a chill. Jade shivered for a second as it did. Jake let go of Jade while he slipped his jacket off and draped it over her shoulders, causing her to blush.
" Thanks." Jade said, hoping Jake didn't notice her blushing.
" No problem." Jake said as they began to head back to Jade's car.
It didn't take them long to get back to her car. After they got in, Jake started it up and peeked at the clock. It was just a little past eight. Jake couldn't think of anything else to do, and he didn't want to stay out too late. Jade sort of sensed this as she looked at him.
" Maybe we should head back to the garage. I'll be driving home after all, and I don't want to be out to late." Jade said, as she fastened her seat belt.
" Ok." Jake said.
He started up the car and they were on their way back to he garage. Jake was glad the date went so well, he could tell Jade had a good time. It didn't take them to long to reach the garage. After the car came to a stop Jake and Jade just sat there a minute, looking at each other.
" Thanks for taking me out tonight Jake, I really enjoyed it." Jade said, gently grabbing Jake's hand.
" Yeah, me too." Jake said as she scooted closer. " Would you like to go out again sometime?"
" I would love too." Jade said. " I'll call you when I'm free."
" Ok." Jake said.
" Jake, you can get out now." Jade said, giggling a little.
" Oh, right. You need this car to get home." Jake said, blushing terribly as he climbed out.
He shut the door and stood there as Jade slid into the drivers seat. She looked up at Jake, a smile on her face. He was still blushing, obviously embarrassed. She smiled at him as she started the car and waved before driving off, leaving Jake standing there, watching as her car disappeared down the road. Jake sighed and he hung head as he turned towards the garage. He walked in and saw Chance sitting on the couch. He looked bored, since there wasn't any thing good on. He looked up as Jake walked in.
" So, how was the date?" Chance asked.
" Well, everything went great, until she dropped me off." Jake said.
" What happened?" Chance asked as Jake sat down.
" shelaughedatme." Jake mumbled.
" What?" Chance said.
" She laughed at me." Jake said.
" What did you do?" Chance asked, wondering what Jake could have done to make jade laugh at him.
" Look, let's forget it. I don't think It really matters." Jake said, crossing his arms.
" Fine. So, are you two going out again?" Chance asked.
" Yeah, she said she would call me when she was free." Jake said.
" Ok, so either she has a busy week coming up, or she's not going to call." Chance said.
Jake rolled his eye's at Chance then he got up from the couch. Chance watched Jake as he headed for his room.
" Where are you going?" Chance asked.
" I'm going to bed." Jake said, not looking back at Chance.
As Jake got into his room, he noticed Jade still had his jacket. Jake sighed as he sat on his bed. Jake kicked his shoes off and laid down on his bed. He knew Jade didn't mean anything when she giggled. He was just being too sensitive about it. He closed his eye's as he thought of his date with Jade. He made it through without really doing any thing stupid. And she wanted to go on another date. He only hoped that when they went on their next date, no one would need the SWAT Kats. But she would understand, after all she knew Jake was Razor. Jake sighed to himself as he slipped into sleep.
