Love at First Sight
Chapter 12: First Date
Written by: Super Saiyan Blue Juuhachi
Bart stood in the bathroom looking at his reflection in the mirror. He checked his hair and his clothes to make sure everything looked perfect before walking out of the bathroom and into the hall where he found his parents waiting for him.
"Looking good, Bart." Homer smiled at him
"Thank you, dad."
"Homer, isn't there something you would like to say to Bart before he goes out on his first date?" asked Marge looking at her husband
Homer turns from her to his son once more who looks at him expectantly.
"Son, remember what I told you before, just relax and be yourself and the rest will take care of itself."
Bart nods his head, "Well, I guess better get going."
He walks down the stairs, his parents following behind him.
"Do you want one of us to drive you, honey?"
"No, I'm gonna take the dirt bike."
"Alright, if you are going to do that make sure to take helmets for you and Laura to wear."
"I will, don't worry." Bart reassured his mother
Homer handed him some money, "Alright, well here is some money for dinner and a movie."
Bart smiles, "Thanks, dad."
"Have tonight, alright? And don't stay out too late."
"I won't, I promise." Bart walked out the door and pushed his dirt bike over next door before walking up to the front door. He rang the doorbell and Ruth answered the door.
"Hello, Mrs. Powers."
"Bart." She greeted him "Laura is finishing getting ready. She will be down in a minute."
"Okay." He nodded
"So where are you guys going tonight?"
"Um, we decided we were just going to go to a movie and get something to eat afterward."
"What movie?"
"Um, the new Batman movie."
"Where are you going to eat?"
"There is a sandwich place in town that is really good, I am planning to take her there."
Ruth nodded her head, just then Laura showed up at the door.
Bart was stunned as he looked at her. Laura wore a beautiful red dress which matched her heels, headband and earrings. Also on her face she had on make-up.
"Wow. I um…wow."
Laura smiles broadly
"Bye, mom."
"You kids have fun tonight and Bart, have my daughter back by nine o'clock."
"Will do." Ruth watched as Bart and Laura climbed on the bike. Both made sure to put on their helmets before taking off down the road to begin their date.
A couple hours have passed and Homer and Marge are sitting in the den watching TV.
Marge glances at the clock to see what time it was and saw it was 8:45
"It's getting late, I thought Bart would be back by now."
"Relax Marge, I'm sure Bart will be home soon." He reassured her, putting his arm around her. "You remember our first date?"
"Yeah I do. We went to the cinema and saw "While you Were Sleeping" and afterward went to Louigi's for dinner."
"By the time we finished it was getting late so you took me home and that is when you kissed me goodnight."
Homer smiled, "That was a good evening."
"Yeah, it was one that I won't ever forget."
"Neither of us will, babe." They kissed and at that moment they heard the front door open and close.
"I'm home!" Bart called
Marge and Homer walked out of the den and up to the front door.
"How did your date go?"
"Good. We went to the Googleplex and saw the new Batman movie. Once the movie was over, we went to Jimmy Johns and ate a couple of sandwiches before heading to the park. After that, it was starting to get late so I took her home, kissed her goodnight, and here I am."
"Sounds like you had a great time tonight."
"Yeah, I did." Bart grinned, "We made another date for this Friday."
"That's great, son but remember love like this comes around once and a lifetime so don't take it for granted."
"I won't. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Bart began heading up the stairs, smiling as he thought back on his date with Laura. He didn't know what the future held for the two of them but he looked forward to finding out.
