Wilt and Sarah decided to take a little brake from the little run around the city at an outside diner taking a seat near the gated area that had a view of the park. Wilt held out Sarah's seat. Once seated he took his seat across from her as the waiter gave them their menu.
Wilt glanced at the menu before looking up at Sarah who was looking over the menu carefully. He sighed deeply watching her in a dream like state but snapped out of it thinking…okay…now say something to her…but what? Ask her a question? About what? Oooo! Come on Pal think think think!
"Wilt?" Sarah said to him knocking him out of his thoughts.
"Uh…yes Sarah?" Wilt stuttered a little.
"Are you okay, you look like you were getting a headache." She asked with concern in her voice.
"Oh no, its just that I was just thinking about something, that's all." Wilt assured her then looked at the menu, "So what do you feel like today?"
Sarah looked at the menu, "I am not sure, the BLT's sounds good, but the soup sounds promising too."
Wilt smiled, "I'll tell you what, you order the BLT and I will order the soup and we can split it."
Sarah smiled at him, "aww Wilt, that's so sweet."
Wilt looked at her and gave a silly smile, his face turning bright red when their waiter came up, "May I take your orders?"
"Uh sure," Wilt started as he looked at the menu, "I will have the soup special."
"and I will have the BLT please," Sarah said with a smile.
"Okay, do you want Fries with that?" the Waiter asked in a mellow tone.
"Sure, seasoned okay?" Sarah looked at Wilt who nodded.
"Alright, it will be out in 20 minutes. What would you like to drink in the mean time?"
"I will have a sprite please," Wilt said.
"and you lady?" the waiter asked looking over to Sarah who's face was facing towards the park, "Uh…hello?"
Sarah watched with a sad expression as a mother and her two sons were sitting down to a picnic by the pond, the little by hugged his mother as his older brother was laying out the plastic plates. The mother smiled at both of them and hugged them dearly to her. Sarah looked down a little…
"Sarah?" Wilt nudged her with his hand on her shoulder bringing her attention back to him and the waiter.
"Oh…I am sorry, what was the question?" Sarah asked.
"What would you like to drink?" the waiter repeated.
"Oh, I will…just have a water please." Sarah answered as the waiter wrote it down and left.
After the waiter left, Wilt turned his attention to Sarah who's eyes returned to the family across the street at the park. Wilt looked at the Family and then at Sarah sadly, "you miss your creators don't you?"
Sarah looked down then at Wilt, "Yes, but I know somewhere they are happy where they are…I am sure they have forgotten all about me"
Without thinking, Wilt gently took Sarah's hand that was resting on the table saying, "they could never forget about you. They would have to crazy to."
Sarah stared at Wilt surprised and touched by his words, as she looked down at her hand in his, a blush came to her face.
Wilt didn't realize till he saw her face on what he had just done and let go, "I am sorry, I didn't mean to be so forward…I apologize if I had made you feel uncomfortable."
"Oh no Wilt, you don't have to apologize. It was very nice of you to comfort me like that…Thank you." Sarah said with a smile.
Wilt smiled back as the waiter gave them their drinks then left, Sipping his sprite, Wilt looked at Sarah then asked, "So after we eat, what would you like to do next?"
Sarah giggled, "we have done so much already, the museum, the art show, the theater…this place really does have a lot to offer, hard to think I could ever be bored here."
Wilt Smiled, "there are so much to do, what do you say we do something active?"
"Alright, what do you have in mind?" Sarah smiled at him.
Wilt thought for a minute, "how about roller skating?"
Sarah thought about it, "I haven't done it for a while. Sure why not, its been a while since I did anything."
Wilt smiled at her just as their meal arrived and they both shared their meals together.
At the roller-skating rink, Sarah walked onto the skating rink after getting her skates, holding onto the railing as she tried to gain her balance, it had really been a long time since she roller skated, she felt kind of embarrassed that she couldn't regain her stepping as she once did.
"WHOA!" Sarah shouted as she slipped on the floor, her hands still grasping the rails.
Wilt skated once around, his eye never leaving Sarah making sure that she was alright, till she fell. He skated over in flash till he reached her side, "need any help Sarah?"
"Yeah, I am sorry Wilt, I just never realized how long its been since I skated." Sarah looked down with a slight blush, embarrassed that Wilt had to see her like this.
Wilt smiled and held out his hand out to her, "Here, I will help you out." He smiled at her as Sarah looked up at him then his hand, gently placing her hand into his. At any other time he would have swooned the feeling of holding her hand, but he was more focused on helping her. As she stood up, Wilt slowly glided with her around the floor.
Sarah looked at her hand that Wilt held and felt…warm…and happy. She looked up to him as he instructed her how to stand up straight and just let her legs do the work while her arms helped with her balance. She couldn't help but be mesmerized by his face, how the feeling in her hand matched the feeling she felt when she looked at his face, gentle, warm…on top of that, he was a very handsome guy to look at.
Just as she was skating on her own, the lights of the rink began to dim as the announcement roared through the rink, "Alright, this next song is for couples only."
The Disco lights flashed across the rink as the song, "More than a Woman" played, the couples in the rink came together to hold hands as they glided side by side. Wilt looked at Sarah nervously wondering on what to do or say.
"Well, um…I…guess we….we can…" Wilt stuttered till he felt Sarah gently take his hand in hers. He looked at her hand then at her.
Sarah just smiled at him saying, "lets just skate." with that said, she gently pulled Wilt with her as they started to Skate.
Wilt smiled brightly at her as they both skated together till the rink closed.
On the way home, Wilt and Sarah exchanged stories as they walked, enjoying the night sky and the fresh air till they were back in the mansion. Wilt opened the door looking around to see if anyone was still up. Mr. Herriman was the first to greet them as he came out of his office.
"Ah Master Wilt and Lady Sarah, I trust you two had a fun filled evening?" Mr. Herriman asked in his best manners.
Wilt and Sarah looked at each and smiled, as Sarah answered, "Yes we did."
"Good," Mr. Herriman, "though I hope you two won't be too tired tomorrow, you will have to make up for today's absence with tomorrows chores, now I will bid you both goodnight and please make sure the door is locked before you go to your rooms." he said hopping up the stairs.
Wilt sighed rolling his eye then looked down at Sarah, "Well, I had a wonderful time with you today Sarah."
Sarah looked up to him and smiled, "As did I Wilt."
Frankie and the others hide behind the stair railing when they heard Wilt and Sarah come in. Frankie watched with anticipation, her eyes fixated on them wondering what was going to happen now.
"I…I hope we can do this again Sarah." Wilt smiled, bending down to gently take her hand.
Sarah smiled with a small giggle, instead of him taking her hand she brought her hands to his furry cheeks and stood on her tip toes…her lips touching his cheek with a kiss.
Wilts eye widened to the feel of her lips against his face. As soon as her feet planted on the floor she gave a gaze of admiration towards him saying, "I would like that very much." she slowly moved away from him then headed up the stairs saying, "Goodnight Wilt."
Wilt couldn't speak but just stare as she walked up the stairs, his hand slowly came to his face, feeling the spot she left her kiss all the while his smile grew bigger till she was out of sight.
Frankie and the gang came out of the curtains they hid behind till Sarah was out of sight then ran down to Wilt who just stood there. Frankie looked up at her tall friend happily, "oh Wilt, your first kiss, This is wonderful! What did you guys do?!"
"Si where did you go?!" Ed asked happily.
"Cococoo?!" Coco cheered.
Bloo walked up to Wilt and tapped his leg, "Hey did you bring us anything?"
Wilt didn't answer…
"Senior Wilt?" Ed asked gently tapping his friend on the side, "Are you okay?"
Wilt still didn't answer, his hand still planted to where Sarah had kissed him
"Wilt?" Frankie asked a bit worried that he was going to faint…but he didn't.
After a moment or so, Wilt took a deep breath and exhaled contently, showing a very dazed look in his eye as he fell backwards into Ed's arms.
Frankie giggled, "he is alright, just bring him to his room and he will be bright as the sun tomorrow morning."
Ed nodded as he lifted Wilt up over his shoulders and took him upstairs with the gang following close behind him. Frankie watched as the others took Wilt upstairs, she stared at her love struck friend and his dreamy dazed look…it brought a smile to her face because for once in his life…he was extremely happy.
