(Rapunzel stroll at the beach with Pascal on her shoulder, enjoying the nice air and hearing the sound of waves. When just at her left side, she see Varian picking flowers and making a bouqet. Rapunzel walk to him, tap him on the shoulder and made him jump in startle. He turn to face her.)
Varian: Don't do that!
Rapunzel: Sorry, just want to know why you're picking flowers?
Varian: (blushing) None of your business princess.
Rapunzel: (smirk) Then why are you blushing? Come on. Tell me.
(He turn away to not show his blush, but there's no way Rapunzel will never get off his back till he tells her. He let out a sigh and face her.)
Varian: Okay. I'm thinking of...(under his breathe)
Rapunzel: Thinking of what?
Varian: Of..(under his breathe again)
Rapunzel: Speak up please. I can barley hear you.
Varian: I'm thinking of acting Judy on a date!
(He turn away to hide his red face. Rapunzel froze while staring at him. Then she let out a squeal.)
Rapunzel: Oh how cute! I knew you two are meant for each other!
Varian: (red face) Yeah. But I don't know how to ask a girl on a date, let alone getting a full sentence around her.
Rapunzel: Oh, don't worry. We can help you with that. Right guys?
(Coming out of the bush, the gang came out. Have they been listening the whole time?)
Lance: How did you know we were hiding?
Rapunzel: Shorty give it away.
Shorty: I am like the night.
Eugene: So, you want to ask Judy to a date but can't cause you don't know how to?
Varian: (red face) Well...I...No?
Cassandra: It's easy. Just go to her and ask. Just say "Judy, would you like to have a date with me?" See? Now you say it.
(Varian let out a gulp. He breathe in and out.)
Varian: Judy, would you..would you..would to..to (blushing) to... Guys! I can't do it!
Eugene: Yes you can. Say it again, but with more confident.
Varian: Judy, would you..like to..have a..a date with me?
Eugene: Again.
Varian: Judy, would you like to..have a date with me?
Eugene: One more time.
Varian: Judy, would you like to have a date with me?
Eugene: Yeah! You got it. And time to put it in action cause here she comes.
(Varian face turn a dark red and turn to see Judy walking their way. He feel shaky and nervous. He run and hide behind Cassandra.)
Varian: (blushing) I don't got this! I don't got this!
Cassandra: (push him to her) Yes you do. Just be confident.
(Judy stop in front of Varian, who is sweating and shaking. The others watch.)
Judy: Hey Vary, how you doing? Haven't seen you this morning.
Varian: (blushing) I-I..I was...uh.. Judy?
Judy: Yeah?
Varian: (blushing and sweating) Would you...would you uh...I...I...
Judy: You okay?
Varian: (sweating with a red face) I'm...fine..it's just that...I...you... Uh.. Wouldyouliketohaveadatewithmeplease!?
(Judy stare at him confuse, Varian throw a nervous smile and the others watch in disbelief.)
Lance: So much for having confident.
(Rapunzel and Eugene glare at him, and that made him shut up.)
Judy: Can you..say it again please? I didn't get the last part.
Varian: (red face) I..I said...I... It's just that..I...
(Then Rapunzel stepped in between the two.)
Rapunzel: He wanted to ask you if you be interested in having dinner with him tonight, just the two of you.
(Judy stare at her, then to Varian who is shaking like a nervous wreck.)
Judy: You mean..as a date?
Rapunzel: Well, wouldn't call it a date. Just a meal between two people.
Judy: That would be a date still. (Arm crossed)
Varian: (blushing) So..uh...it's a no?
(Judy turn to him, before pulling a soft smile.)
Judy: It's not like we haven't done it before. See you tonight my alchemy buddy.
(She walk around the group and continued her walk. Varian slowly put on a smile on his face, bigger than ever. Then he let out a loud holler of joy.)
Varian: Yes!Yes!Yes! (Laugh)
Rapunzel: (chuckle)
Eugene: Good job kid. You do know how to handle dates, right?
(And that cause Varian to freeze in place. Shoot! He's having his first date and he doesn't know the first thing about dates! A few hours later, the gang are teaching him methods of dating. Eugene teach of one of his smothers.)
Eugene: Now, let's try this one that I like to call, the shimmer.
(Eugene lower his left eyebrow, half lidded his eyes and throw a pouty smirk. Varian frown in confusion, but he give it a try. Eugene give a nod.)
Eugene: Kid, you're a natural. She's gonna be head over heels for that.
Varian: Will she?
Eugene: Totally!
(Rapunzel grab Varian and make him face her.)
Rapunzel: Sure the shimmer is a good plan, but you just have to be yourself. Just say what's on your mind. She does like you for you, does she?
Varian: She does.
Rapunzel: See? You have nothing to worry about.
(The next few hours, the gang give him tips and adives.)
Lance: Look straight and look her in the eyes.
Cassandra: Treat her the way se should be treated, not like a angel you see her, but as a human being.
Hook Foot: Support her, that's how it work on me.
Rapunzel: Be comfortable and relex.
Eugene: Comment on her look.
Lance: Make some small talk.
Cassandra: Don't let her out your sight.
Rapunzel: But most importantly, have fun. You got it.
(His face is board after all the talk he been getting, then he went to sleep. That night, the gang set up a table with lanterns as light, two chairs to sit, table wear and utensil and a tablecloth. Judy came by, but Rapunzel stopped her.)
Rapunzel: Not yet!
(She decorate Judy's hair with flowers, making her look dressed up. Judy glare at her, which made Rapunzel nervous. Lance came with a towel.)
Lance: This way little missy, your date awaits.
(Judy roll her eyes and follow him. They stopped at their defamation, Varian waits nervously.)
Varian: Judy..you..you look..b-beautiful.
Judy: Thanks, just flowers on my hair, no biggie.
(Varian hold her seat for her, she sit on it and Varian push her forward. He walk to his sit and sat. Rapunzel came with her guitar ad play. Judy roll her eyes at this, Varian feel sweaty and nervous. He gulp.)
Varian: S-So..h-how's your day?
Judy: Fine, nothing special happened anyway.
Varian: Uh..good. Good.
(He look away while Judy look board and unimpressed. Eugene came with two bowls of salad, set them on the table. Judy just roll her eyes, Varian gulp. This is not going so well. Eugene talk quietly to Rapunzel.)
Eugene: This girl is a tough cookie.
Rapunzel: It's just their first date. Everything will be fine.
(Judy poke her fork on the salad, not eating it. Varian took a bit full of his, chewing in a nervous manner. He swallow it all and let out a nervous chuckle.)
Varian: I..uh...so..nice weather, huh?
Judy: Yeah, whatever.
Varian: Is there...something you like to..talk about?
Judy: No, not really.
(She look away, Varian frown at this. It wasn't till Eugene came with a cooked salom with peppers and stinky weeds decorated around, he cut the salom up and place them on plates. He walk away. Judy stare at her food. Varian inhale.)
Varian: So..uh..Judy.
Judy: Yeah?
Varian: I..I wa-wanted to tell you something..
(the gang smile big on this as they watch.)
Judy: What would that be?
Varian: Well...I...I..I wa-..I wanted to..to tell you that...that I...that I...
(Judy stare at him in full attention, wondering what he's gonna say. The gang motion him to spit it out. Varian look frantilly before looking at the peppers.)
Varian: That I...I...(grab the peppers) That I love these fruit! (Took a bite on it)
(The gang stare in disbelief. Lance jaws dropped, Cassandra growl in frustration, Hook Foot shook his head, Eugene face palm himself and Rapunzel look more shock.)
Rapunzel: Oh come on!
Judy: Uh.. Varian, those are not-
Varian: (finish them all) I mean really, so good.
(Then he feel his whole body heat up, he's starting to sweat and his face turning red. But he would not dare to show it.)
Judy: Vary, those are not fruits, they're peppers, really hot peppers.
Varian: They're...they're not that hot. I can..I can take it.
Judy: Then why are you look red and sweating?
Varian: Oh..it's cause..cause.. (Does the shimmer) Cause you are so fine.
Judy: (glare) Yeah, nice try.
Eugene: (whisper) She resist the shimmer! No one can resist the shimmer!
Cassandra: Oh really?
Judy: Varian, maybe you should get some of those stinky weeds. It can cool off the peppers.
Varian: I don't need..any...
(Then he couldn't take the heat anymore. He yell with fire coming out of his mouth. He grab the salad bowl and chow them, but doesn't cool off. He run out and dunk his head on the water, but the water boil by the heat. Judy saw the weeds on the salom, took them and chase after Varian. She grab him by the neck and make him eat them. He let out a sigh of relief.)
Varian: Thanks. And sorry that..this date is ruined.
Judy: You kidding? Gonna take more than a few peppers to slow this down, and I've never been on a date! (Hug him)
Varian: (smile with a blush)
(the grown up watch.)
Rapuznel: Well, it wasn't the date we hopped for them, but seems Judy doesn't mind.
Lance: That kid is one lucky guy.
