The next morning, Frankie and Sarah were in the kitchen listening to some music on a radio while cooking up a fresh batch of blue berry pancakes and waffles. Frankie looked over to Sarah who was placing the pancakes onto a large platter, she wore a smile on her face with a dream like look in her eyes. Frankie couldn't help herself but giggle a little.
"So," Frankie began with a sly smirk on her face, "How did it go yesterday?"
Sarah looked at Frankie with a smile, "Excuse me?…oh you mean when Wilt and I went out?."
Frankie smiled and nodded at her, "Yeah…what did you guys do?"
"Well" Sarah said putting a batter into the waffle maker, smiling to herself, "we had a wonderful Time. Wilt didn't skip any details about the city and all the wonderful things it has to offer. First thing we did was go to the Museum where they had their new Egyptian display, then we went to the Art show to see all the new artists work, then came the performing arts theater, the ballet was beautiful…after walking for a little bit, we ate at a small diner by the park and went roller skating afterwards."
"Wow sounds like you guys had a pretty productive day," Frankie smiled putting more plates onto the cart beside her.
"Oh it was wonderful, Wilt was such the perfect gentleman…" Sarah said, trailing off a little bit before looking at the waffle iron and brought the waffles out as her mind traveled back to when Wilt was helping her roller skate, how the light shined on him as he smiled down at her…she couldn't help but blush at the remembrance.
Frankie watched her with a smile… " Well, I am glad you two had fun, and I can't expect Wilt being nothing but a perfect Gentleman. He has always been there for others and helped a lot of people…"
"FRANKIE!!!" Bloo whined, bursting through the kitchen doors, "Feed me, I am starving! I am wasting away…" Bloo gasps as he collapsed on the floor coughing.
Frankie gave an annoyed look to Bloo then looked at Sarah, "Unlike someone I know."
Bloo continued to moan and groan while dragging himself across the floor, "Need food….need….energy…can't…go on…"
Frankie groaned, "Sorry Bloo, you are going to have to wait along with everyone else at the table."
"But Frankie, I need food! I am going to die if I don't get any!" Bloo continued to bellow before turning to Sarah, giving her his big soulful watery eyes, " Pwease….?"
Sarah smiled and shook her head, "Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes, you can wait that long, so please go sit down."
Bloo stood up and stomped off back into the dinning room, just as Wilt came in with a large grin on his face.
"Good morning ladies!" he gleefully greeted them.
"Good Morning Wilt," Frankie and Sarah said as they got everything together.
"It Sure is a Beautiful day today, is there anything I can do to help?"
"If you wouldn't mind taking the plates over to the table and setting them up, that would be great," Frankie asked, putting another stack of plates on the cart.
"Sure thing no problem," Wilt smiled, heading towards the cart before coming to a halt, "Oh yes, I nearly forgot…" He then moved over to Sarah, taking a white rose he had picked from the garden and holding it out to her, " A white rose for the lovely Sarah?"
Sarah looked at the Rose, "Oh Wilt, its beautiful," she took the rose from him and smiled, "Thank you."
"Though the Rose is Beautiful, It can't hold a candle to you."
Sarah's face immediately turned red at such a comment, making her smile more as Wilt walked over to the cart and pushed it through the doors.
Frankie giggled, "Wow, never thought he could be such a poet."
Sarah looked at Frankie then at the door staring dreamily, "Yeah…"
"Looks like things are starting to get serious between you too."
"Oh Frankie…I don't know about that…though…" She sight contently, "I do like him very much, he is so kind, thoughtful, well-informed, athletic, and very handsome."
Frankie looked at her seriously, "But?"
"He seems to apologize for every little thing that he does. I do like him a lot, I really do…but I feel like I am the one causing him trouble to make him apologize all the time whenever he is around me, I hope I am not making him feel uncomfortable."
Frankie laughed, "Oh Sarah, trust me, you are not making him uncomfortable in the least. If anything I haven't seen him happier."
Sarah looked through the window of the kitchen door, watching Wilt set the plates on the table while singing a tune while Bloo watched in annoyance. She smiled then looked to Frankie, "you really think so?"
"Oh yes most defiantly, in fact, I haven't seen him this happy in a long time."
Sarah smiled, "I am glad, I was worried that I was making him nervous."
Well…in a way you do…but in a good way…Frankie thought.
"After all that he has done for me, I really should thank him," Sarah said putting her hand against the door.
Frankie looked at her, "why is that?"
"Well, ever since I got here, I felt different and out of place. Even with all the friends I have made here, I thought I was someone that people came to only for advice or comfort. But…Wilt…he had been there for me since the very begning, he got me to really open up…and for once in my life, instead of me being there for someone…I feel like, there is someone there for me…" Sarah smiled.
Frankie smiled contently at Sarah, "Aw, that's so sweet…and I know-" she covered her mouth before she continued.
"What was that?" Sarah asked looking at her.
"Oh nothing nothing! I …" Frankie sniffed the air, "is something burning?"
Sarah looked over to the waffle iron, seeing it puff out dark smoke and ran over to it, "Oh dear!" she opened it, using a fork to yank the dark waffle out.
Phew…Franke thought, "mustn't give it away there Frankie…if they like each other, they would have to tell each other on their own without help from anyone…sooner or later they will realize their feelings for each other…in the mean time all you can do is guide them."
"Oh well," Sarah said knocking Frankie out of her thoughts, " That one didn't make it, Ready to serve Frankie?"
Frankie smiled at her as she grabbed a tray full of pancakes, "Ready when you were."
